liar, a Baptist and a gambler, a Presby
terian and awMiiskey drinker, an Episco

Edwards, the beef man, put out a trap
on Monday night of this week and bag

wasn’t a good night for rats either.

The convention to select a candidate
for governor is called to meet on the 2nd
day of August, ISO 4. Th?, counties are
left to set the day for primaries, or mass
meetings. We presume all the counties
will order primaries, as that is univer
sally satisfactory. Candidates for other
offices could be elected at the same
time. Of course, the counties will have
to meet some time before the 2nd day of
August, and select delegates to the con
vention. Great harmony prevailed in the
convention at Atlanta, as it should liaye
and will in all democratic meetings.

Marshal Mayo shot a dog on our streets
last Friday, said to be a mad dog, aud if
it was not wrong, we would spell his
name backward and use it as an adjec
tive in describing the canine dead-beats
which prowl our streets by day and our
lien nests by night, and then to make
tliemselyes utterly unbearable they go
mad and bite our children. Mr. Land

our thanks. Ladies and gentlemen, the
dogs must be exterminated.

Rev. Mr. Bell pronounced an excellent
and practical sermon Sunday at 11
o’clock. Among other things he said a
man succeeded who worked to succeed,
in religion or business. The successful
lawyer or doctor, studied his profession;
the successful farmer plowed deep and
unloosed the plant food hidden there,
and the successful merchant advertised
his goods aud sold them. Everything is
simple when analyzed. He who gives
his attention to his profession is a suc
cess.
There is time for all things,
and now is the time to buy one
of our new spring suits before
Easter.

Some designing printers are in the
habit of coming to Jackson, and by pri
cing large lots and cheap paper to our
merchants, leave the impression that
they furnish statements, etG., cheaper
than we do. Now you ask us to fill your

the same quality, and we can do so.
Give home folks a chance before placing
your orders.
Some of our farmer friends

“Because; it sounds so much like an old
fiddle.”

in favor of running him for solicitor
general, when Colonel Beck is elected
judge of the Flint circuit.
Will the conuty court beau issue in the
next race for the legislature? It looks
very much that way at present. Our
county is divided on this important
question, and it will have to be settled
some way or other.
We are not very much in favor of our
county going in debt, but we would like
to see a courthouse erected in the place
of the old “shell” which now stands a
menace to the looks of our town, and
the lives of its citizens.
Mr. W. M. Mallett says he is surprised

heard of about a million folks who differ
with Mr. Mallet.

two siuoe to place au “ad” in the paper
to rent her house. The house was rent
ed before she left our office. The oil
mill had a little notice in last week’s pa
