Although it is not claimed that Ayer’s

ly all disorders of the human system.
S-'me little insignificant fellows, who
think it is no disgrace for them to do
any little dirty thing they please, are al
ways the ones to disclose and magnify
anything that a member of the church
or a preacher might make a mistake in,
and claim that he is ruined for doing
once what they themselves do all the
time. Poor little critics! Pity they can
not see themselves as others see them.
We are heartily in favor of the Jackson
& ludian Spring railroad, aud if we
can in auy way help its progress we al
ways stand ready to do so. We will even
contribute our office towel to be used as

much needed imorovement. If Jackson
lets this chance slip, her opportunities
are forever wasted, aud our offer is with
drawn indefinitely.
We call attention to the announce

Mr. J. W. Moore, who has been at

The mayor asked a colored lady
before his court Monday if she was ready
for trial. She said, “no.” “Why,”
asked the Judge. “I havn’t got the
money,” said the woman. “No excuse,
are you guilty or not guilty?”
“Not guilty.” “Then you will
need no money.” But she did need $5,
and she knew it before the trial.
It is a hard matter to explain to a man
why a person owning a thousand dollar
bond can float 90 percent of it in money,
and a person owning a thousand dollar
lot of land ean’t float 90, or any other
per cent of it in cirulating medium. Of
course, we understand the matter in a
legal sense, but how about the inherent,
God given, equitable right of this thing?
Our advertisement for a wife brought
in several answex-s fi-om young ladies in
Jackson—but we could not comply with
the tgreement inasmuch as we were re
quired to get the lie nso and furnish one
month’s board in advance. We don’t
mind sharing the expenses equally, but
can’t go in so heavily right on the start.
And now the story comes to us that a
woman in South Georgia set two hens
lately and named one Evans and the
other Atkinson. Atkinson hen hatched
out every egg, run the Evans hen off the
nest and went to laying again, before
the good woman could find out what had
become of the Evans hen, when she was
horrified to find her lying dead over in a
fence corner. Of course, this is only a
chicken tale, but it may hold good, in
some respects, in the present race for
Governor.

“spontaneing!”
We are glad to learn that Mr. E. A.
Thomas, a most worthy young man of
our county, has entirely recovered from
his recent illness.
The Atlanta Journal says if you want
to get left “follow the Constitution.”
Yes, and if General Evans wants to get
left let him keep in the stampede!
Who has the diagram of those 100
counties that were going to “sponcane”
for the General? We think someone has
been monkeying with the plans!
Everything went for Atkinson last week
except General Evans, and now it is only
a matter of time when he will “spon

Mr. R. N. Etheridge visitited his rela

had better come out.
The following conversation transpired
between an Evans lawyer and an Atkin
son farmer: “Hello, Colonel, we haye
been waiting for you to come out here
and tell us how to vote.” “I know
nothing about it.” “O, well, then, we
will goon and vote as we please.”
We passed the home of a farmer, in
Butts county, not long since and the old
gf-ntieman was sitting on his porch
reading. To the left of his house was
twelve acres of wheat nicely shocked:
to the right were several fat cows and
hogs grazing, and in front his boys were
plowing corn and whistling merrily at
their work. Everything was pleasant,
prosperous and happy. We thought,
how calamity bowlers spent their time
on the street corners to the neglect of
their business, and this self-sustaining
farm was managed by that good old
man under the protection of our grand
goyernment and that he was “monarch

A paragraph appeared in last week’s
issue of the argus in regard to Hon. T
B. Felder, which we now feel sure does
Mr. Felder great injustice and wrong.
Our attention was called to the matter
by Colonel Beck, of this place, and he
assures us that he knew Mr. Felder in
timately at college, that Mr. Felder is a
most estimable gentleman, an able and
talented lawyer, a brilliant and forcible
speaker and a true loyal democrat.—At
twenty-five years of age Mr. Felder was
an elector on the Cleveland ticket, when
Cleveland was first elected president and
today in Laurens county and the other
counties in that congressional district,
and of that judicial circuit, there is no
more popular or highly esteemed lawyer
than T. B. Felder. Since Mr. Felder
removed from Laurens county to Atlan
ta, he has established an enviable repu
tation as a lawyer and has been phenom
enally successful as a business man. He
is president of tbe Atlanta Traction
Company, and his law firm, Hines <fe
Felder, ranks among the very first of the
Capital City.

The Atlanta Journal of Tuesday at
tacks th* argus of a recent date for
statements reflecting upon the charac
ter of Mr. Thomas B. Felder, and says:
“The character of gentlemen who are
above reproach should be free from
assault,”#and in its same issue allows
Judge Fisher to be called an “ignomin
ious liar,” and slurs the character of
Hon. W. Y. Atkinson. Advice from
people who practice what they preach is
ever appreciated by tho argus editors,
but the residents of crystal habitations
should refrain from tossing stalactites,
and the Journal can put a lot of valu
able time to good use by practicing the
doctrine they so freely advocate to
otHers.
The vote for governor is get
ting interesting. Hanes, “the
Jeweler,” has a map showing the
vote and situation of counties,
which you are invited to exam
ine. He will also fix your watch
so it will stay fixed, if it is out of
“whack,” very reasonable. His
prices on Watches, Jewelry, Sta
tionery, etc., is very, very, low.
He will take silver dollars at par
in exchange for goods, or if you
have no silver, he will take gold
rather than miss a trade. Ke
