Misses Etta Williams, of Floyilla, and Emma Bloodworth, of Atlanta, who is stopping at the Spring, visited relatives in this city on Monday last. a good rain fell all over the county on Monday of this week, and the farmers are now wearing smiles that would cut a watermelon. It doesn’t seem to us that so mauy people are visiting Indian Spring as was the custom three or four yeais ago. Now' what is the cause of this falling off in tourists? It can’t be that the water has changed, for it still smells as had as over! What is it? Quite a number of the school teachers from Butts county w'ill attend the Teachers’ Convention at Cumberland Is land, on July 3rd to 6th inclusive. An enjoyable occasion is promised all who attend.

They reporta nice time and plenty of fish and chicken. They were provided with two large tents to protect them from the rain, and carried along a good supply of eatables. Those who went down knew exactly how to enjoy themselves, and you can bet they did that very thing. Iu this issue we commence the publi cation of a scries of articles on the money question. We don’t see why every one should not understand the philosophy of money, and these articles will be written from a non-partisan standpoint aud by an intelligent citizen of Butts county, who has the respect of the people who know him and you would know him if his name was signed to the articles, We ask our readers to carefully watch these articles, and if you see a wrong statement in them why our col umns are open to you and you can say so. The third party has for time immemo rial been “cussing” out all lawyers and court house officers on the grounds that a lawyer is not a fit subject to hold office for the interest of the people.

Maybe Judge Hines is not a lawyer, if so they are cer tainly going agaiust their convictions. Aud if we are not mistaken, Tom Wat son is a lawyer, too. Great goodness, maybe, they meant there are some bad lawyers and some good ones, and the third party has captured all of th® good ones. How is that? The vote for governor is get ting interesting.

He informed us that he pronounced the marriage, at his home on Sunday even ing, of Mr. John Harkness and Miss Lilia Brooks. We wish Lilia a happy marri ed life knowing her to be a good girl aud deserving a good husband. Rev J. H. Eakes, of Atlanta, is circu lating among his Jackson friends this week. There is not a man in the world more loved or highly esteemed than Mr. Eakes by Jacksonians. This feeling is not confined to the Methodists only. While they love him sincerely they can hardly lead all other denominations in doing him honor. “It has cured others and will cure you” is true only of Ayer’s Sarsapa rilla. The motto suits the medicine and the medicine the motto. What better assurance could you have that a remedy will cure you, than the fact that it has cured such multitudes of others ? General Evans has written a letter stating that he is no longer in the gub ernatorial race as a candidate. He pledges his universal strength to the nominee, and shows himself a good dem ocrat. His followers have more cause to be proud of their leader now than ever before for he has conyinced even his op posers that he is a worthy gentleman and capable of rising above self for the good of the party. His followers should sdll follow him in his present noble ex ample. If the ladies of this section were al lowed to vote the Populists would be strictly not iu the race. They appre ciate the fact that the democratic is the one that advocates aud protects womans rights iu its true sense. Southern women like southern men are born democrats. Mrs. Annie McMichael, who lives a mile from town, told a crowd of men who were arguing politics in her presence, that if the men would stay at home and work and make the farm self sustaining that the government would be likewise. Grumbling, said sh®, does no good, we need less talk, more work and more economy, and management. JULY FOURTH RATES.

The following resolutions were adopt ed by the Teachers’ Institute on last Friday: Whereas, Some of the present school laws are objectionable to some of the teachers of Butts county, in annual In stitute assembled, Therefore, be it re solved : 1. That section of the public school law be so amended as to give the teacher the authority to expel pupils at his discretion. 2. That the law be so amended as to compel patrons to pay balance of tuition not paid by board of education. 3. That we indorse the action of the last legislature in abolishing the Teach ers’ Monthly Institute, and recommend the abolition of the annual Institute by the next legislature. 4. Recognizing the powerful ability, scholarship aud skilled experience of our distinguished County School Com missioner, do most gratefully and unani mously extend our sincere thanks to him for the interest he has and is manifesting in the up building of the public schools of the couuty. Of course, however the legislature will have a “lick” at this matter before it becomes operative in the state. On Fri day the number of teachers present was a high type of our citizenry, inteligent, social aud happy. The girls were es pecially lovable. After the exercises there was an ice cream festival in which all participated in good humor. The ladies had prepared a sufficiency of cakes, and one of them contained two buttons, one white aud one black, And it was agreed that whoever cut the white one would get married first, and who ever cut the black one would be an old maid or bachelor. Mr. Douglas Watson cut the white button and one of the pret ty teachers the black one. We were standing near by and heard the best looking and one of the best gentlemen in the crowd propose to the pretty teacher in less than five minutes after wards. Of course, the button busines will be a failure for a suitor so favorable could hardly be refused. It was a real galla day for the teachers and we heard some of them remark that they were no longer opposed to annual institutes. All of the above resolutions passed unanimously, except the first one. We noticed all the older teachers voted against it and it passed by a scratch. One of the superanuated teaehers w r as going on to show that the resolution, in plain English, meant about this: Re solved, That the teachers in Georgia shall say what children are entitled to the public fund. For that is what it means, and nine times out of ten the very little fellow that the teacher decides against is the one that needs it most. The chairman hastily ruled the speaker without giving him an opportunity to show the application of his remarks or else the resolution would never have passsed. Teachers as a class ask no autocratic power. They invite the co-operation of the community. It is contrary to the spirit of our government for a person, child or parent, to have no appeal from an act of any person, who might have been a little billious or otherwise un balanced and done a rash thing. In this case the tax payer would have to pay for other children to have s privilege his own could not eDjoy until there was a change of the teacher at that place. While the teacher does and should have an implied right to expel, it will not do to legalize it and have no appeal from it. Such extremities should be the last resort. Mr. and Mrs. J. H.

The greatest social event of the season reached its culmination today in the consumation of the marriage vows of one of our most energetic young bus iness men and one of our most lovable and cultured young ladies. As the calm face of the clock drew nearer and nearer the appointed hour and that unaccount able solemnity spread its cheerful though silent and solemn influence over those interested, one could see that the town felt the importance of the hour. The beautiful residence of Mrs. R. E. Carmichael was decorated until the place had the appearance of a living growing bouquet. Miss Martha Jane Carmichael, the bride, is of one of the very best families Butts county has ever been honored with. When Mr. Albert Franklin Whitney his bride to the altar she looked like every inch a queen. Her costume was grand beyond descrip tion. Dr. G. W. Gardner, of Jackson, Miss., performed the ceremony in a brief though very, impressive manner. Im mediately after which congratulations began. The attendants were: Miss Clyde McCallum and W. H. Hig gins; Miss Hattie Buttrill and R.N. Etheridge; Miss Agnes Carmichael and S. B. Kinard; Miss Mamie Buttrill and E. L. Smith. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Bramblett, and their accomplished nieces, Miss Alice and Florence Bramblett, of Forsyth, and Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Hill, of Columbus. Besides a large assemblage of relatives and friends. After a reasonable time for congratu lations, the happy couple and their at. tendants repaired to the fine tournouts standing in front of the residence, whose teams were perfect matches of white, sorrell and iron giay. They were driven to the depot where the bridal party boarded the train for an extended tour through the Eastern states. They will visit many of the magnificent cities of note in the East and return to Jackson, their future home. The abgus wishes these promising young people a happy voyage through life, and that as they go hand in hand down the stream of time that their fondest hopes may all prove realities. IMPORTANT NOTICE.

Editors—As I have had many inquiries of late as to my position with reference to the establishment of a city court in Butts county, I wish to say in reply to these inquiries that I am strong ly opposed to the establishment of a city or a county court in our county. We are doing well without either, and why impose a court of this kind on our people, when it is plainly demonstrated that we have no use for it. No, Mr. Editors, if I favored a city court I could have passed a bill while in the last leg islature to establish it in our courty. I was then opposed to it, and have had no reason to change my mind. I, for one, think the fewer courts we have the better for the people. Thanking you for your kindness in the past, I am truly, etc. T. J. Dempsev. SCHENCK—BELL.
