MIND VS. MATTER.
Advanced thought it alright, like
everything cite, unless it goes to an
extreme. All extremes are danger
on*. A lady in the West. whose hus
band is now in jail for some of her
advanced th lights, goes so far as <0
assert that all -del-.no?' isc.iu-- 1 or oi
iyinate- in the min i, whi< U she say s
has complete control of the bodv. I
other words, if you stump the nail
troai your great toe and the blood
rushes forth, you must look down at
it and simply refuses to belie', e it. and
it will not be true. The soio eye-,
yellow fever, hydrophobia, and a
trash in your eye is all imaginary ,
You must not believe it and it will not
exist. Great shades of our real per
sonal fathers deliver us from the vain
prattle of the se called advanced
thinkers.
C C. POST.
Among our exchanges we find
“Freedom,” a paper edited by Mrs. C.
C. Post. In its coin nine we noticed
an article from Mr. C. C. Post, in
which he claims the first thing ihat
ever inspired confidence iu himself
was that he beat another boy out of
an “agate” pla> ing sweepstakes. The
paper is devoted to the interest of in
fidelity. In the same article Mr. Post
says that he is thankful that the church
is rapidly loosing hold upon the
world. Oh you Southern born God
fearing, disappointed democrats; that
man gave birth to the populist in our
state, can you swallow him. He care
ful or you will jump out of the frying
pan into the fire. We are all demo
crate and let’s rescue the name as well
as the principle.
A CARD FROM HON. T. J. DEMPSEY.
Mr. Editors:—As there has been some
discussion in reference to the abolition
of the county court, and it being a pub
lic act of mine, I desire space in the
columns of your valuable paper to give
my reasons for abolishing it, and define
my present positiou on this question.
First. I abolished the county court
because I bad reason to belieye it was
the wish of the majority of the citizens
of Butts county, and if that be true then
it became my duty as the representative
of the people to pass the bill abolishing
the county court, and second, I felt my
self that it should be abolished.
Believing it to be the wish of the peo
ple and feeling myself that it should no
longer exist, I passed the bill. Now,
Mr. Editors, if I have mistaken the wish
of the people, in this matter, there is a
way to decide what they desire and that
is give them an opportunity to speak
on this question tlaought their ballot.
If they in this or any other way speak in
favor of re-establishing the county eourfc
I will not raise my voice against it what
ever my personal views may be on this
question.
If we are to hare a court, other than
the superior or justice, it seems to me,
the judge and solicitor should have a
salary, and all money coming into the
court should go direottotlie treasury
and let the officers be paid from the fund
thus going into the treasury, but lest I
appear to be be dictatory l will desist
from making suggestions.
I acted in the matter after due
thought and reflection, and until the
people by their ballot or otherwise shall
decide this question, or I am convinced
that I am wrong, I shall in my humble
way, endeavor to maintain the position
whioh I have taken.
If the people of our county want the
court I will acquiesce in the matter,
and surrender my personal views, for it
is democracy to allow majority to rule.
Haying been asked by a number of our
people as to ray position on this ques
tion, at this time, I have seeu fit to write
this card. Thanking- you for past fa
vors, I am.
Very respectfully,
T.J. Dempsey.

AT THE BANK.
It is really interesting to watch those
going in and out the Jackson bank.
Captain Watson, the cashier, is always
wearing thak thoughtful countenance
which says more forcibly than language
could, “It wont do for me to make a
mistake.” And back in the secretary
oue can hear the low, almost inaudible,
voice of Mr. F. S. Etheridge, vice presi
dent, explaining “why.” We see one man
come in with a look of dolefuluess. Ah!
who knows how much depends on that
man’s visit to the bank. The “yes” or
“no” he knows means a home fer the
wife and babies or no home for them.
It means happiness or woe, and how glad
he is when that low voice says “yes.”
And thsn we hear the merry laugh of
Jim Kinard and the girl visitors, as they
while away the time in front, and we
can but think well of their happiness.
In this case “yes” or “no” means—it
wont do to say yet. Wait and see.
THE JONQUIL PARTY.
■’Haste thee nymph and bring with thee
Jest and youthful jollity!”
was the sentiment inspired into tli|
hearts of the young people of this fair
villa as they wended their way to the
lovely home of Mrs. Tassie Tucker on
last Friday evening to attend the “Jon
quil Party.” This was the most brilliant
entertainment of the season. The even
ing was pleasant and everything condu
cive to happiness of the merry seekers.
Mrs. Tucker never appeared lovelier
than on this occasion, cladinaheliotro, e
carrying a large bouquet of jon
quil- i led with a cream ribbon. And as
sbe greeted her guests her bright smiles
and geDh.l face were a posbiye assur
ance of wl at the evening would bring
forth. The decorations were in yellow
and g a a. Biight yellow jonquils en
twined with long graceful vines, pre
sented a most exquisite scene. Every
body seemed jolly and bappv,
with mirth and laughter, the household
rang.
At half past ten the guests were invi
ted to partake of a most luscious re
past. The menu was aptly fitted to the
t aste of the most fastidious epicurean.
In the centr of the table was a beau
tiful stand of jonquils, pansies, ferns
and smilax, and placed here and there
were bowls of artistically arranged flow
ers. The souvenirs were daintily liand
paiuted cards tied with yellow ribbons.
Too much can not be said of the way
in which Mrs. Buttrill and Mrs. Fretwell
assisted in receiving, as their winning
way# and genial hospitality are already
known.
The guests were favored with delight
ful music, and as Miss Myrtle Pound
sang in hir sweet way: “Whisper and
I shall hear” and “When.” We thought
“All, when shall we meet again.”
This the “JonquiT Party” will long be
reverted to as one of the most pleasant
ever attended by the young people of
fair Jackson.
The invited guests were:
Miss Hattie Buttrill, Prof. Blasingame;
Miss Mamie Buttrill, E. L. Smith; Miss
Mary Goodall, Howard Bell; Miss Mamie
Ellis, W. G. Thompson; Miss Elia
Pound, Prof. W. T. Kelly; Miss Mary

NEGRO KILLED.
Oliver Simmons, a half witted negro
was killed by a train in Jackson, on Fri
day night last. The coroner held an
inquest in the depot. The witnesses were
generally truthful, but one little negro
who would have sworn anything, some
what worried the jury, after sitting on
a very bard box for two hours. For we
were all sitting on boxes and the fattest
man bad the softest seat, the leanest
juror whose patience became threadbare
and whose box grew harder and harder
with each fleeting moment, virtually
moved to adjourn, The verdict exlion
orated the road from all blame, as the
train was due along there about that
time and the negro could have waited a
few moments without serious injury to
the church or state. The poor negro is
as well off as when liying.
MARRIED.
At Engl© Chapel on Sunday, March
17th, Mr. Wiggins and Miss Folds, Rev.
