Enthusiasm wasn’t a scarce article in the election on Saturday last. h The county is now settling down to business since the governor has been elected. It is now in order for those who lost their “dough” betting on the election to pitch in and make some more to supply the vacancy in their pants pockets. The populists have nominated Judge Hines as their candidate for the gover norship of Georgia in the next election. Miss Quinn Land, of Machen, and Miss Bertha Lane, of Smith’s Mills, are visit ing at the residence of our worthy fel low townsman, Mr. T. J . Lane. Some people seem to think that we have some candidates, but Lonorke county, Ark., has forty-seven now in the field. Eight of them are for sheriff. We have heard some of our people re mark that in case Mr. Beauchamp did not run for sheriff Mr. Marshall Mayo might go on the ticket with Mr. Craw ford. The cold suap on Saturday and Sun day is reported to have done considera ble damage to cotton in this section. Gardens are said to have suffered yery seriously also. Mrs. M. C. McDonald, of Atlanta, spent a few days in Jackson last week visiting her children, Mrs. W. E Harp and J. G. McDonald. She returned home on Mon day. We are sorry to chronicle the death of Mrs. Gibson, mother of Mr. J. W. Gib son, of Flovilla. She wa an aged lady and her death was not unexpected. The family have our sympathy. We regret to announce that Mrs. B. F. Moon has been confined to her room for some time past with a severe spell of sickness. We hope for an early recov ery, as at last accounts sh was improv ing somewhat, though at one time her death was momentarily expected. Mr. D. J. Thaxton will not move his family to Macon, as some rumor has it. To the contrary he will remain in Jack son and run for clerk of the court. There were some heavy jokes passed in Jackson on Saturday during the poll ing of the yotes, but everything went off nicely, except—well that’s all right. The commencement exercises at the Institute will be the best ever seen on a Jke occasion in this part of the couutry. t would pay our readers to come and ring their children so they may be en couraged to renewed efforts in climbing the ladder of learning. The Argus said to Dr. Ellis, “Did you | see that the Macon Telegraph had men tioned your name as a probalde candi date for the legislature?” “No,” said the doctor, “but they are barking up the wrong tree. I would not enter the struggle for the floating vote, as a man must do to be elected, to be president of the United States. I have no appe tite for such a thing aud will cot enter the race.” "Eastern Shoes” for sale at the Star Store. Such as Bay State at SI.OO per pair. Without doubt, the best spring medi cine is Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Give it a trial. The Hon. J. K. Hines remarked some time since that he would affiliate with the populist if they get out a respecta ble set of candidates in the field. We presume he thinks they have a respecta ble one for governor, and we are of the opinion that some democrats agree with Mr. Hines in this matter. Mr. William Trapp is probably the old est man in Butts county. He is nearly 85 years old. The High Falls picnic died last year and for the usual time for it to have been this year, everything was so still the leaves arouud the old place tvas afraid to flutter. Capt. W, F. Smith has about located his road. The first, opposition is dying out and we will soon have the road. In connection with the road Mr. Smith has a diagram, drawn by an electirican, showing a plant on South river lighting Jackson, Flovilla and Indian Spring, with enough electricity to run the cars on the dummy. And, besides this, he shows that it will generate a sufficiency of power at one of the towns mentioned aud be has a man ready to put thirty thousand dollars in the cotton factory. Now, let Jackson build the factory on the waste land this side of the depot, and moveo uward and upward while the irons hot. Pictures enlarged 20 per cent cheaper than agents canvassing. First class, high priced work done at the cheap work rates. The recent freeze came very near fix ing the price of cotton at 20c per pound. Two degrees more would have done the work aud also have fixed the price of cotton seed at $5 a bushel. Mr. J. M. Crawford aud Dr. Ellis are now added to the list who haye horses cut on barb wire. This barb wire busi ness is a very expensive, inhumane, cru el experiment. Why not have the wire without the barbs? A teacher once had a little fellow turned down wrongfully. The one who was benefitted considered it a dishonest thing and thought less of the teacher. The wronged one turned pale aud said nothing, but it is an enemy for life. Hall's Hair B* newer cures dandruff and scalp affections; also all eases of baldness where (he glands which feed the roots of the hair are not closed up. The Atkinson and Evans forces of Butts oounty can now shake hands over their victory. Charlie Gresham has the finest sample rooms attached to the Morrison House of any hotel in Georgia. And the drum mers are taking advantage of it, too. Charlie is a hummer. We learn that Jim Kinard will accept the position of Mail Transfer clerk at Macon, recently tendered Mr. Will Nutt who declined the offer. The railway conductors had a picnic at Indian Spring on Tuesday of this weak. We call attention to the change in Gilmore & Henceley’s “ad” this week. They now liaye cold drinks all the time. Mr. Willis Mangham is in town this week at his usual work. He is attending Mrs. Melvin Thurston who is very sick. Those wishing an excellent photo can get them made at Jackson by J. B. Guthrie, His superior work is apparent to any one. Guthrie is a better from Cork. He says he had just a soon back a man down as to bet him. That little old V scared ’em out Saturday. The marshals tfre doing some very ef fective work towards beautifying our streets. Charlie Bartlett is in the race for con gress from this district. The East Tennessee has changed schedule again. The morning trains now run as before but the afternoon trains meet at Jackson instead of at Williams’ Station as before. “Eastern Shoes” at Star Store. Charlie Gresham is a whole-souled and genial hotelist, and if he can’t make his guests feel at home no one else need to try it. Guthrie’s watermelon vineyard is now in a prosperous condition, and if Atkin son had not been elected in this county he would have been left sorely destitute as he had banked his whole crop on At kinson earrying the county. His crop of English sparrows are coming out nice ly and he will soon be ready to serve the market with nice, fat rice birds. Col. M. W. Beck is strictly in the race forjudge of the Flynt circuit, and he’s as sure to get there as his opponent is to get left. We are for the Colonel with every foot off of the ground, first, last and all the time. P itronize home in dustries. Yes, we sell “Eastern Shoes.” Bay State Shoes are “Eastern Shoes.” We sell the Bay State Brogans and Bell’s at one dollar per pair. Star Store. Dr. Bryans brought back many trink ets and novelties from Mexico, among which are a Mexican sombrero, a pair of sandals, two water jugs, and innumei-a ble trinkets. The Doctor was well pleased with his trip and wants to go back soon. avoid bitterness. As we have, during the next few months a succession ol political cam paigns, it is import mt that our people and especially those inclined to politi cal discussion, should move, act anti talk on conseiadve Hues, and avoid all bitterness Differences ot opinion on political questions are legitimate; preferences for men who aspire to office are also legitimate; but these diflei ences ami discussions should not lead us into such discussions as will engender bitterness of feeling or pol itical animosity. Such discussions are ordinarily not productive of any good results, but are oftener than otherwise harmful and hurtful. It is well and proper that Hie voters of this country shouUl discuss politi cal issues and questions pertaining 10 their interests and thereby inform themselves as best they may. It is right, indeed it is a pai l of wisdom, that voters should study and investi gate subject matter bearing directly upomthe administration of goiern ment. In this way alone can they gain or acquire that information need ful to guide them wisely in the exer cise of their sufferage powers, which is the grandest privilege as well as the most important duty of an Amer ican citizen. But where political dis cussions degenerate into bickerings, bitterness and wranglings that engen-. der animosity between voters, then they not noly cease to be profitable, but become hurttul and a source of damage to the body politic. More especially should we be care ful to guard agaiust such discussions within party ranks, because they can but lead to party factious and a weak ening of party strength. And cer tainly the present is not a time for factions in the democratic party. For now when democracy is laboring and moving slowly but surely to the con surnation of the great reforms needed in the administration of government, those struggling in the front need the aid and co-operation of every demo crat in the land who desires the wel fare of his country, and a return of prosperity to the people. Hence we should avoid all bitterness in our pol itical discussions, and in harmony, as democratic brethren, work together for those true principles upon who.h the perpetuity of republics must rest. —Monroe Advertiser.

There is no possible chance for advertisements to get in this paper unless they are brought in by Tuesday, and that is all there *s about it. This does not apply to local reading notices.—'Eds. From the present outlook Hon. A. O. Bacon will be the next United States senator from Georgia. He is one of the best equipped men of th estate to hold this important office. While we have no authority to speak for the democracy of Hart county, we believe when they make a formal expression it will be unanimously in favor of Major Bacon.— Hartville Bee. Major Bacon is one of Georgia’s ablest men; is thoroughly conversant with the questions involving the people’s interest; is a true and staunch democrat, and will make Georgia an able representative in theUuited States senate. Georgiashould select her ablest men to represent her in the national senate.—Monroe Advertiser. All of which we heartily endorse. CONTRACTORS NOTICE.

Miss Florrie Lee’s many friends in Jackson were glad to see her in the city Monday. Mr. W. A. Turk, of Jasper ceuuty, was in Jackson a few days this week vis iting friends and relatives. He carried one of his “friends” home with him Thursday morning. There were twelve car loads of excur sionists at Indian Spring on yesterday, and they had a gay old time. Genial George Collier turned the Wigwam over to them, and they took charge of it. Just about a half a crop of grapes will be raised in Butts county this year. This is very “kurious” weather. One day yon need an overcoat, and the next a linen duster feels very comfortable. Bay State Brogans are “East ern Shoes.” We sell them at $1 a pair, Star Store.

Snch a small thing as the whooping cough don’t have any effect on schools like that at Jackson Institute. Some pretty good men will excuse a fellow for lying, if it benefits the said pretty good fellow. A prominent populist of this county said recently that he thought the At lanta Constitution would soon be a pop ulist daily. We believe some wise widow should secure the services of Mr. J. B. Guthrie as a domestic oompanion. As an ash hopper builder and ehicken cooperator Guthrie has few equals. • Hon. A. O. Bacon is in the race for United States Senator, and it is needless to state that he will hare a good follow ing. The people of Georgia need no in troduction to a gentleman whose name has been heralded as a household word for these many years, and his seryices for the people are now giyen an oppor tunity of bearing fruit. Long live his name. Genial and clever Charlie Bartlett, a leader in the race for congressman from this district, was in Jackson a few days of last week circulating among his many friends. Charlie is a true and tried Democrat, and no man in Georgia is more capable of filling this position than the man from Bibb. His opponents for the office will find that they have a very hard row to weed when it comes to downing this clever gentleman, who is ever faithfnl to every trust reposed in him.

Bacon, present candidate for the United States Senate, introduced a set of resolutions in the House in 1893, which were adopted by the senate and House of Representatives. The resolu tions may be found on page 497 of the published laws of Georgia for 1893. It was an able document and is a fruitful evidence of the cultured mind of its champion. Commenting on the intro duction of these resolutions the Clarksyille Advertiser said: “Major A. O. Bacon is a candidate for the United States Senate. He has an nounced his platform by a set of resolu tions introduced in the Legislature. He comes out squarely for silver, State banks of issue, an income tax, and de clares that customs duties should be lev ied for revenue only. This is unques tionably the platform upon which a United States Senator must be elected. It is Democratic, it is sound and pure, and it Is according to the demands and in the interest of the people. It is a platform good enough to live by and die by. The Senator ought to be a man of such high integrity and honesty that he will not only be elected upon it, but stand upon it, not only in Georgia, but in Washington also.” Good four roc m house to rent at four dollars per month, good well of water, conveniently located in Jackson.
