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. The Tkomasville Advertiser is humping. It is only seven weeks old and is twice as large as when born. 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 Duke, Harold Higgins; Miss Nellie Hig gins, Reese Thaxton; Miss Clyde McCal lum, Steve Kinard; Miss Marie MoMi chael, Jim Kinard; Miss Myrtice Peavy, Robert Carmichael; Miss Martha Jane Carmieliael, A. Whitney; Miss Gussie Malione, C. C. Smith; Miss Annie Bell, W. M. Potts; Miss Sallie Bell, Tom But trill; Miss Annie Nutt, Walter Moore; Miss Estelle Carmichael, Chas. Pinckney; Miss Pearl Carmichael, J. R. Lyons; Miss Myrtle Pound, G. W. Carmieliael; Miss Rosa Thornton, R, N. Eoheridge. Messrs. R. Thompson, W. Webb, B. Wagner, B. Wright, and J. G. McDonald. Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Lyons; Mr. and Mrs. F. S. Etheridge. 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. J. M. Speer officiating.
