These balmy days will soon dress this land in “fields of Hying green.” Rye, wheat and oats have already covered a goodly portion of it and later old “general green” will do the rest. Guthrie says he will soon be ready to take photographs again. It is probable that Colonel Dempsey will fix him up a gallery by building a second story to the back part of his buildiug now occupied by Mr. Edwards as a meat market. Reese Tliaxton says while he xvas out in Texas be saw some strange insects, one was a bug with long horns shaped like a Texas steer. We would like to know how many drinks it requires to see such a menagerie as Reuse speaks of. We made a mistake about Guthrie and his waterbury in the last issue. It should liaye read tliusly: When lie carries liis watch in his vest pocket, lie is behind time; when he puts it in his hip pocket, he is ahead of time, and xvlien he sits down he is on time. And it is needless to say that he is most always ou time. Our Junior took another dose of Ma sonry Monday night, and when he ar rived at the oflice Tuesday morning, lie looked as if lie had been run through a •lothes wringer. Ha came out a little better this time than he did before, how ever. lie brought his pants with him.

Miss Myrtle possesses rare musical talent and a voice as sweet, mellow and enchanting as the choral of an angel. We regret to learn that the life of Mr. Irb Normau, of Ola, Ga., was despaired of one day last week. Irb has numerous friends in Jackson who are sorry to learn of his serious illness. Mr. Wm. Normau came to Jackson on Sunday in search of a physician for his brother, after the tal ents of Henry county had been exhausted on the case. Things are assuming huge proportions and strange aspects in these 4, diggins.” A certain young lady visits the dress maker very often here lately, and Harold Higgins has purchased a long-tailed coat. Taken in connection Avhat is the infer ence to be drawn? “Caliph” the uegro. who was declared insane by a jury some weeks ago, and who has been in jail eyer since awaiting to be carried to the asylum, was taken to Milledgeville last week by Sheriff Beauchamp. Caliph seems to be as rat ional as ever since his confinement in prison, and we doubt but that he will be sent back as cured iu a month or two. The latest styles for making engage ments for accompanying yours or some one else’s best girl to church on special occasions, should read something like this: “My Dear Miss:—May I have the ex quisite beau’itude of escorting your cor poral system over the space intervening between your paternal domicile and the edifice erected for the worship of the di vine Bring after the diurnal luminary 1 • . >d the western horizon. Some live, energetic, always-to-time man must take hold of the ice business this season. We want a mau who will not have ice to-day and none to-morrow\ but ice all the time, In order to success fully run this business, there are certain storage preparations to be made, and now is the time to make them.

You may be a Methodist aud a liar, a Baptist and a gambler, a Presby terian and awMiiskey drinker, an Episco palian aud a swindler, a Catholic and a lecher. Truthfulness, temperance in speech aud appetite, and honesty are more to be admired than professions. What are you honest, chaste, charitable, or the opposite? Edwards, the beef man, put out a trap on Monday night of this week and bag ged seventeen rats at one setting, and it wasn’t a good night for rats either. They were packed in the trap until some of them were almost suffocated, and he says if tlie trap had been large enough, he is confident he could have caught a million. Anyhow, the citizens had a rat killing time annihilating the rodents the next morning. If any town in Georgia has a martial tnat can beat Mat Holifield smoking a cigar we would like to hear from it. On Saturday night last we encountered him sitting ou a pickel barrel with a tooth pick s;uek in a cigar stump which upon measurement was found to be oue thir ty-second of an inch in length. He had smoked it so short that it had burned off all his moustache and singed the hair on the back of his head, and when we left lie was fixing to chew the tooth pick. 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. Elderly people remember their spring bitters w ith a shudder. The pieseul generation have much to be thankful for, not the least of their blessings being such a pleasant and thoroughly effective spring medicine as Ayer’s Sarsapai ilia.

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 killed another Monday for which he has our thanks. Ladies and gentlemen, the dogs must be exterminated.

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. The Carmichael Cos. 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.

Steve Kinard left the hotel on Sunday night saying he was going down to catch the train. lie must have caught it, and carried it to church with him, as he was reared back enjoying the sermon with a mighty pretty “train” when we arrived there. Watch out for Gunn & Potts next week. They are having a mammoth stock of dry goods and novelties shipped from New York. We should know how the next candi dates to the legislature from this county stand on several questions that we will mention later. Mr. J. B. Thomas, Hon. Wilson Smith, Dr. R, W. Mays, Mr. S. C. McCandless, and S. Jack Smith all take the Argus as intelligent citizens should do, but some of the small fry say it is “pizen” and be longs to the “ring.” There is no safer place for investment than right here in the city of Jackson. A majority of our rich men are those who have had faith iu Jaeksou, and its sta bility and certain progress. We caught this on the wing. It is a conversation between two ladies, and our life is in danger if we give the names: “What music do you like most ?” “Well I think the violin is the prettiest music.” “Oh my, I don’t.” “Why?” “Because; it sounds so much like an old fiddle.” Mayor Pound is a hummer. We are 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 that we do not come out fc? Evans, wh > will carry the state by fifty thous and majority. If Mr. Mallett is right, and he generally is, the general can get along finely without us. Besides we have heard of about a million folks who differ with Mr. Mallet. No better nor abler Judge can be se lected for Flint oircuit than Colonel Marcus W. Beck. He is a gentleman well qualified for the position, and should have the support of every one interested in the welfare of justice. Mr. J. G. Thompson was unanimously elected to fill the unexpired term of al derman caused by the resignation of Mr. T. J. Lane, on Wednesday of this week.

You can cast your eye over Jacksen, and those merchants who advertise are always crowded with buyers, while those who do not spend their time in weighing each other to lee how muoh they have fallen off. Thornton & Hooten have a lot of line horses and some new vehicles on the road, and will be in in a few days. Does advertising pay? Read this: A lady came in the abgus office a day or 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 per to the effect that they would only run this week and to come on and get cotton seed hulls.
