The most unredeemable fool is the one who thinks he is smart. The fertilizer merchants, of Jackson, are now very busy taking notes. Great girls and great boys make great women and great men. Steve Ivinard says he will furnish the husband if somebody will furnish the wife. We are authorized to annuouce the name of Jim Hilly as a candidate for matrimony.

Outler and brother, Penick, of the Cochran paper, were in Jackson on Sunday last.

Two young men went up to Jeukius burg Monday night to see some young ladies and staved so long that lightning had to strike a tree before they could be run off. There was no sign of a cloud anywhere to be seen no>- was it tbuuder ing or lightning as any one had noticed previous to the bolt which struck tlie tree. It was a strange phenomenon, bat probably Mr. Harris had loaded the tree for the special purpose—as it was about 11 o’clock at night. Hamilton & Brown’s shoes at I hompson Bros. A pui-e, noble hearted girl is too good for the best man in the world. Asbery Pace is one of the coming young men ol this county. It is now in order for the Conatitution a-xd Journal to “spontane!” All summer dress stuff goes at about half price from now on at Thompson Bros’. It is all foolishness for a young man to go to see a youug lady more than thi-ee times on any particular subject. The first time he can leain her name. The second time ask her papa, and the third carry the preacher along. The woid “lawyer” has grown in lati tude to where it covers a vast space. Some men are called lawyei*s nowadays that wouldn’t know a case in equity from a porcupine if they were to meet it in the road. Old time, down right honesty is grow ing scarcer with the receding years. Some right good people think a man is excusable for lyiDg on some particular lines, and that it will make a lie the truth for a good man to tell it. Although it is not claimed that Ayer’s Sarsaparilla cures every ill to which flesh is heir, yet, as a matter of fact, it comes nearer doiDg this than any other medi cine ever compounded. In purifying the blood, it removes the sources of near 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 a shovel if it will in any way secure this 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 ment of Hon. Alex Atkinson in this issue. He is too well known to need in | troduction. He is well posted on nat ional affairs, and will make it hot for his opponents. He says the term i “double standard” is a misnomer. The | way to put it is the “joint standard,” ' that is what we want. Mr. Atkinson ad dressed a large audience in Spaulding in which resolutions were passed indorsing him and agreeing with his views, Watch out for Atkinson in every county in his territory, for he is coming. _ ATKINSON. The enemies to democracy Have called out Judge Hines: The enemy to plutocracy, ITis peer, is in our minds — Atkinson, our Atkinson! Behold, the hero of *92, Is the man for ’94. Let Atlanta say so now, And bid Georgia’s champion go— Atkinson, our Atkinson I Evans is leading the gubernatorial race backwards! Pr >f. Cornwell, of Cedar Rock, was in town this week. The Baptist church is being inclosed with a beautiful wire fence. Miss Mary Woodward, a pretty young teacher was in town Monday. Colt-in is more seriously damaged by the late cold spell than was at first admitted. A good luscious peach, or red apple, hanging on a tree in this section would cure sore eyes. The handshake of a candidate has something peculiar about it. It can al most talk. An editor has one consolation on this earth—he is never bothered with coun ferfeit coins—nor any other kind to ex cess. One Jacksonian’s pocket is SIO.OO heavier and an Atlanta drummer’s pock et is SIO.OO lighter on the result of last week’s election. General Evans seems to have lived in about twenty counties in this state. He was born in 12 or fifteen of them. Misses Mary Woods and Bessie Turn bull, two sparkling young teachers of Henry county, were in town Monday. We are sorry to learn of the illness of Mr. W. T. Crumbly, of Jenkinsburg. Dr. W. C. Bryant, his attending physi cian, considers him quite sick. Miss Min nie Woods’ exhibition and commencement exercises at Locust Grove, as everything is with which Miss Minnie has to do was a success. Rev. W. T. Bell preached a sermon to the children Sunday that every child in the world should have heard. It was the most appropriate discourse imaginable: “Children obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.” Jackson has some expert bicycle rid ers. John McCallum and Scott Tennant are proficient in the art, and can throw their feet over the dashboard and ride with both eyes shut. Obe Hendrick and Dr. Butuer came all the way from Worthville Sunday morn ing to hear the news of the election. They were amply repaid for their ride, however, and returned home smiling clear ocross the road on both sides. Mr. J. W. Moore, who has been at tending school at Oxford, is in the city visiting his parents. John sto >d quite a creditable examination of all his studies and bids fair to rank high among the list of commencement orators. Success to him is our hearty wish. The New York Store has several large country raised hams in stock, which they bought of Mrs. Thaxton, a widow lady of Worthville. The ladies of this coun try believe in making the farm self-sus taining and they practice what they preach. Misses Elia and Myrtle Pound, the charming and cultured daughters of our esteem* and mayor, Hon. E. E. Pound, are attending the commencement at Wesley an Female College, in Macon, this week. They will come back by Eatontou and from thereto their palatial home in Jackson. 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.

King was walking the streets Sunday with Miss . Ayer’s Cathartic Pills act promptly and beneficially upon the liver and the stomach. Wonder if the Coustitution and Jour nal know how the eleotion stands? They ought to make a report! The people are anxious to know how the election is “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 tane.” Mr. R. N. Etheridge visitited his rela tives at Hattie, Houstan county, on Sat urday last. He returned home Sunday night perfectly enthused over his trip. “Orango Blossom” gives immediate reliet and permanently cures all dis eases peculiar to ladies. Sold by W. L. Carmichael. The primary having been set so late as the Ist day of Augustin this county, has kinder put a quietus ou things. That is only two months off, gentlemen, you 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 of all h# surveyed.” Evitt Brothers’ shoes at Thomp son Bros’.

Guess who was so busy talking to his girl Sunday evening that hie came near running over a train, and whether he is q young man or a widower? Claud Gray, one of our promising young men, after a short visit to his parents returned to Macon last Satur day. Unele Yell Thaxton says he has a board tree he wishes to cut, but is afraid to do so for fear it might fall on a candidate. 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. 1500 pairs new shoes at Thomp son Bros’, this week.

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.
