£-o©cafette:i;. Miss Mary Edwards is visiting the fan.- ily of her brother, H. F. Edwards, this week. Poor folks that feed fat folks to walk the streets and insult folks, have all moved out of the city of Jackson. Tliejladies get treated very cold at the parlor of Mrs. H. F. Edwards— “l scream!” Shoes at New York cost for the next 30 tl tys, at the Blue Store. Cos in f? quick. The boy or girl who will bring reproach upon the good name of their father or their loving mother are meaner than the devil wants them to be. Mi SB Marie McMichaei is visiting rel atives and friends at Whitesburg. Ga., where she will speud several weeks be fore returning home. Messrs. Burr aud Lovelace, of Forsyth, who have been spending a few days at Indian Spring, spent Sunday in Jackson, at the .Morrison House. ihe Misses Bramblett wish us to ex tend their sincere thanks to their friends in Jackson for the many favors shown them during their brief stay in our city. Ou Wednesday evening a series of very interesting meetings were held at the Presbyterian church. They were con ducted by T. P. Cleveland, D. D., which did great good. We have it on good authority that Lee Smith has slept only three hours a night during the past two weeks, and if the young lady visitors remain with us a week longer, we are confident he can taper down to one and a half. Miss Kate Ford, a versatile young lady of Forsyth, who has been spending a few days in Jackson as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Gresham, at the Morrison House, returned home on last Tuesday morning. One of the features of the children’s serv.ee, at the Baptist church Sunday, was a song by Master Water Norris, ot Atlanta, in which lie acquitted himself well, and left a fine feeling of sympathy for the children on the entire congrega tion. Robert Whitfield will hardly sail into congress nnder the cloak of an adminis tration candidate. He will haye to get up a better excuse for the people's suf frage than merely being an administra tion candidate. All summer goods at cost— they must go—at Blue Store. Wantkd —About twenty five young lady visitors to take the place of those who are departing for home. For fur ther information apply to Thompson Bros’. It is certaiuly a very warm night when Bob Thompson cannot sit down in a very small space on a church bench. He goes down slowly but most invariably '‘gets Bob’s a bird, and he’s at home wherever you put him. The mosquitoes in Charlie Smith’s room have been making some very vig orous kicks at the late hours ho has been keeping since two certain young ladies have been visiting Jackson. They say they do not more than get their bills sharpened before he is up and gone to the store. The mosquitoes have our sympathy. At this stage of political unrest, the Sixth Congressional distiict cannot do better than to send to congress a man who is true to every trust reposed iu him and oue whose unflinching fidelity to‘ democracy may {end to heal the breach of diversity now existing between the representatives of our government. The Hon. Charles L. Bartlett is the man, and Butts should see to it that he receives the nomination from this district. Fancy Groceries, fresh at all times, delivered freo of charge, at Gunn & Potts’. Misses Alice and Florence Brarablett, two charming young ladies of Forsyth, who haye been spending a few weeks very pleasantly with the family of Mr. Jim Carmichael, returned home on Tues day moruing. The Misses Bramblett made some very lasting friends, “etc.,” during their stay iu Jackson, aud many eyes of our besi young men are dimmed with tears at their departure. Tlie following is a list of delegates, to 26th senatorial Convention to convene in Griffin on 21st insl to nominate a can didate for the senate. Col. M. M. Mills Wade Hammond, J. G. Colwell, G. B. Taylor, John C. Bell, W. P. Castleberry, W. M. Andrews. George Ridfway, and W. O. Crawley. There will he no balot ingof any consequence as these gentle men will simply ratify Spalding's choice. The populists say their objection to the democratic party is “bossism,” and mass meetings. Gee whiz! Let’s retire and faint. The packed convention here tliat nominated Me Michael was control led by two or three men, while the wool hats were at home, and Tom Watson nominated Hines for governor. “Boss ism.” Great Scott? Lee Smith is night clerk at the New York Store now. Tuesday morning a gentleman from the country weut up to his room about 3a. m , as he was retir ing for the morning, and informed him that he wished to do some trading imme diately. After discussing the tariff on wool goods for about fifteen minutes, the gentleman finally induced Lee to go down and fill his order. On arriving at the store Mr. Smith was dumbfounded to find that he only wanted to buy a box of chalk. He filled the bill, and return ing to his room he spent the balance of the night sitting up on the side of the bed studying whether be had an engagement to call on a young lady the next night or not. Ice Cold Drinks of all kinds at Gunn 4 Potts’. W. H. Merritt, of Jackson, spent last Sunday with hia parents near Luella— . County Weekly.

The roan who tells nasty little tales on his opponent generally gets left. For instance, watch your Uncle Lon snatch the socks off of Candler. We are very sorry to learn of the con tinued illness of little Viola Slaughter. There were no services at the Metho dist church on Sunday on account of the illness of Rey. W. T. Bell, the pastor, who has been confined to his bed for several days, The coming of the dummy to Jackson ' s like the third party—it never gets there. Miss Leila McGahey has resumed her school at County Line. M*. Asa Smith and wife and Miss Tomie Smith, and Mr. F. S. Etheridge are new in the East. They will visit Boston, New York and other places of note and before they return thay will see the Niagara Fails. We wish this rep resentative company a pleasant aud safe trip. Dyspeptics use Ayer’s Pills with marked benefit. They strengthen the di gestive organs. Misses Nellie and Annie Lee Cason have returned home after a pleasant yisit to frieuds and relatives iu Toomsborough. Mrs. J. M. Barge, of Tenuille, is vis iting her mother, Mrs, Stephens, and sis ters, Mrs. L. R. Cason and Mrs. Fossett, this week. Mr.C.R. Swint showed us an ear of corn of his own raising fifteen inches long. Butts need not go west if our farmers can grow such corn. We have heard a large number of men say lately that they cannot be driven from the democratic party, except in one way. If the party indorses the finance policy of the administration and the single gold standard. They will be “daddle wrecked” if th y do not quit the thing. Judge Bartlett should be sent to congress, lie would be an honor to the state and a tower of strength to the Georgia delegation.—Rome Hustler. Prof. Walker and wife, of Griffin, Mrs. Ella Harden and children, and Master Matha Eakes, of Atlanta, are visiting the family of Hon. T. J. Dempsey, this week. REUNION 30th GA. REGIMENT.

I wish to say I never did, and have not now, any stock in the old Alliance ware house nor in the new Alliance warehouse. Respectfully, G. E. Harmon. CHILDREN’S DAY. Sunday was children’s day at the Baptist church aud Dr. Gardner preaeh ed a sermon to them that will doubtless do good even for millions yet unborn. A wave of pure truth cast on the sea of humanity will widen as the time goes by until its influence sweeps the shores of eternity, and like Tennyson’s river run on forever. Next Sunday the preacher will talk especially to the parents. These special sermons are Tery interesting and profitable. Everybody is invited to attend. We had a friendly call from our old friend, J. C. Tarpley, of Hampton, on last Monday. Mr. Tarply is post master in his town and also one of ker leadidg business men. While in he spoke a good word for the Argus, and stated that hia good wife thought more of it than he did. Other ladies, some of whom live in our town, such as Mrs. M. Y. McKibben and Mrs. E. E. Pound send us encourag ing words. The argus feels very proud of the approval of all of these noble la dies, and will try more zealously to merit their praise in the future. Just think of it ! Ready made fence for only 40 cents per rod. W e can furnish you at that price. Crawford a Harmon. TV hether Pasteur and Koch’s peculiar mode of treatment will ultimately preyail or not, their theory of blood-contamina tion is the correct one, though not origi nal. It was on this theory that Dr. J. C. Ayer, of Lowell, Mass., nearly fifty years ago, formulated Ayer’s Sarsapa rilla. CUT PRICES lor the dull season. I will make my best cabinet size for $2.25 per doz. $1.50 per half doz. 2t. J. B. Guthrie. Dr. Killebrew’s Company, the New York Life, has offered him atrip to New York in August, if he can work a certain amount of business by then. We would like to see the doctor get the trip, and hope our subscribers will help him, es pecially those who have no insurance. He represents the best old line insurance eompany in the world. It is tke poor man’s company. He will visit you be tween now and then, but if he does not, see him in town, or leave your name with any of his numerous friends in Jackson. JACKSON INSTITUTE. Every citizen of Jackson and surround ing country should feel a thrill of patri otic pride rush through his bosom at the very mention of this noble institution. Only oonsider the fact that we, some of us poor men, right here in our own town have such facilities as are supplied at tho institute, and that our eweet little children—the dearest hope on earth for our own futuie names, and the very cause of a true parent desiring to live at all. They can be with us at night, and in a few minutes walk reach a school whose curriculum is sufficiently high to put our children under our own care within oue year of graduation* We do not really appreciate this great blessing we are now the recipients of. No man within reach of such a school can afford to be stingy towards its support. While the little fellows are resting lets not for get the importance of our school, and the necessity for being ready and haying the children ready by the opening of the fall term. SETTLEMENT REUNION. This is the time of the year wheu oom muuities meet iu the rural districts, in annual session, to look after the cleanli ness of the old family grave yards. Mr. J. E. Hoard, that prince of good fellows, carried us to one of these on Saturday last, at a place known as the Clark cemetery. It was remote from any pub lic road, or the abodes of man, and the silent city of the dead lay tranquil and alone id the virgin forest upon an eleva tion commanding a view for miie3 around. Among those who were there, were the Mayos, Brownlees, Ciarks, Dodsons, Kimbroughs, Hoards, Prestons, and others whose names we failed to get. After the work was finished the grave yard looked as neat and as clean as a well kept parlor. This voluntary work by the communi ty speaks volumes for the Christianity and eulture of that community. A more noble work was never done than caring for and decorating the graves of those we love. Tiny Brownlee is the champion sweeper. Such a feast of edibles as was spread in the grove at 12 o’elock has not been surpassed by any attempt of the culinary art since the discovery of America. Such reunions as this ties the communities in a stronger love for each other. Long may the people of this community live to enjoy many more such occasions. WORTH YILLE. Near the northeastern corner of Butts county is located the beautiful and pleasant village of Worthville, and among the many other changes for good that have been witnossed in the different portions of the county, no plaoe has un dergone such a wonderful reformation as this. On the ground where but a few years ago stood bai rooms and billiard saloons can now be seen beautiful churches and magnificent school build ings; where then were heard, continu ally, the ringing of bar glasses and the snapping of billiard balls, yon now hear the sweet songs of Zion and the soothing strains of the gospel of peace; where you then heard horrid oaths of men call ing down the wrath of Heaven upon their fellowmen, and the murderous re ports of guns and pistols, you now hear the prayers of the righteous and words of praise to Almighty God; where men often gathered and shuffled cards to win their neighbors’ money, is now gathered numbers of bright faced boys and girls in flourishing Sunday Schools. Indeed, the change has been great, and this is but a rude and im perfect pictnre of the truth that exists there now. Since last Saturday a most glorious re vival has been in progress at the Baptist churoh, conducted by the beloved pas tor Rev. J. G. Kimbell, and all who attend are warmed up spiritually under the good influences of the meetings. This good man of God assisted by Rev, F. T. Kimbell, is doing much good and many additions to the church are ex pected before the meeting closes. May the God of peace continue to bless Wcrtfcville is our prayer. TO THE PUBLIC. Editors Argus: — l notice in the last issue o* your paper a card from Hon. T. J, Dempsey, in which he says he is oppos ed to a city court or a county court, and that he did not favor either when he was a member ef the legislature I have heard from what I consider good authority that he did express himself in favor of a city court during that time, and suggested a legal friend of his as a suitable man for judge of the court. The advertisement was made by himselt, as the law directs, and I’ve been told that he had a bill drawn for that purpose. That don’t look much like he was opposed to a city court. I have also been told that he claimed to be a friend to the county court before the petition to abolish that court was present - ed to him. B’hat has ctine over the spirit of hit dream to make him deny all this now? He knows that if the people of 2?utls county want a city court, they can gat it under the geaeral law by the recom mendation of the grand jory without any legislation. Mr Dempsey still insists that the court is the issue in this campaign. He aajs he don’t want the court 1 nave said the same thing over my signature. Nooody iu soliciting me to make this race said any thing about county court, and nobody has made a request of me to reestablish the court, then where is tha issue? If he or his followers insist on making that an issue why not submit it directly to the people, and let them vote for or against it? and 1 make this proposition to Mr Dempsey that we ask the voters of this county to endorse on their ballot “county court” or “no county court”—and respecfully ask tha managers of tha election to count and re turn the result. Respectfully, J. A. McMichael. TO TOROiVJO.

THE SIMPLE TRUTH. Editor Constitution : The tollowing appeared in “The Voice,” the prohibi tion organ, in its last issue : “Oxford, Ga , June 30.—(Special Correspondence to The Voice)—Prof. 11. A. Scomp, one of the ablest in structors iu the south and a leading prohibitionist, has been compelled to resign the chair of Greek in Emory colloge, which he has held for more than eighteen years, because ol his fa vorable atitude toward the prohibi tion party. Professor Scomp is the author of the well known work, ‘King Alcohol in the Roalm ot King Cotton.’ The president of Emory college, Dr. W. A. Candler, is a bitter hater of the prohibitionists and W. C. T. U., aud it is his attitude, largely, that has compelled Prof. Bcomp*s resignation.” There is not a word of truth in it except that Dr. H. A. Scomp is no longer professor of Greek in Emory college. He did not resign. Professors in Emory college are elected for three years. Prof. Scoraps time was out and Mr. Lundy 11. Harris was elected to the Greek chair. Dr. Candler is a prohibitionist; has been from his boyhood. So is the faculty. So is the board of trus tees. So is Oxford by its charter since 1847. People write here to know wha: the paragraph in “The Voice” means. It means that its Oxford correspon dent, unknown to me, is absolutely ig norant or absolutely untruthful. Else deranged. Atticus G.

For the special benefit of our populist brethren and some gold-bug democrats we publish the democratic platform of 1878. It was written by Judge Speer, of Griffin, and unanimously adopted at Barnes ville: “Resolved by the delegates to the fifth district convention, That we deem it due as the representatives of the democ racy of the district to put on record the following as our platform of principles upon the subject of national fiuanees: “!• That we condemn the contraction of the currency that has brought so much ruin upon the agricultural, com mercial and man ufactux-ing interests of the country, and we demand at the hands of congress the repeal of the re sumption act. “2. We endorse and demand the x-e --moval, by congi’ess, of all l'estrictions in the coinage of silver, and the re-estab lishment of silver as a money metal the same as gold. “3. We favor the gradual substitution of L nxted States legal tender notes for national bank notes and its permanent establishment as the paper money of the country—made receivable foi all dues to tbe government and of equal tender with coin. The amount of such issues is to be regulated by law as to give the people assurance of stability in the volume of the currency, and consequent stability of the value—no further increase of the bonded debt aud no further sale of bonds for the purchase of coin for l’esumption purposes. “Resolved further, That we approve and endorse the payment of all bonds and dues by the federal govexaiment as they fall due in the currency of the gov ernment whexe the same are not payable in coin by the original contract. We fa vor further the gradual extinction of the public debt—rigid economy—the reduc tion of expenditures iu all the branches of the public service aud a tariff for rev enue only.” MARVELOUS RESULTS- From a letter written by R, v. J. Guiidennan, of Diinoudale, Mich., we are permitted to make this extract: “I have no hesitation in recomnxeud* ing Dr. King’s New Discovery, as the results were almost marvelous in the case of my wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist church at Rives Junc tion she was brought dowu with pneu monia succeeding LaGrippe. Terrific paroxysms of coughing would last for hours with little interruption and it seemed as if she could not survive them. A fiiend recommended Dr. King’s New Discovery ; it was quick in its work and highly satisfactory in its results.” Trial bottles free at R. G. Bryans’ Drug Store. Regular size 50c ana SI.OO.

Editors Argus The Card of S> H. Mays seekiug to place me in a false position is itself so false as to de mand notice at my hands. His object Icanuot divine. If it is a conspir acy to decieve and mislead tho minds of the public, such low mean conspir acies should find lodgement only in a heart and mind filled with all that vile, corrupt and putrid designs that would give vent to such blackmail. In the first paragraph of Mr. Mays’ card he slates from various excuses a final settlement has never been made. The money and commissions to settle being in the hands of myself, (acting for S. C. MeCandless and G. \V. Ray.) This whole paragraph is basely false. I have never made an excuse of any kind touching this matter that would in any wav hinder a stock holder from receiving his payment ou de mand. neither am I acting for Mr. 8. C. MeCandless, neither was it under stood that the whole matter should be settled by the Ist ot January 1b94. in tact so far as Mr. Mays and the Al liance is concerned the final settlement was made Febuary 1894. when the settlement and funds whs turned over to the two commissioners consisting ot Mr. S. C. MeCandless and myself who each hold one haifot the funds for disbursment to stock holders on demand. 1 will say to Mr. Mays that while acting as commissioner in set tlement of this matter I shall do so ac cording to my own ideas of light, and not according to his, for if I adopt his ideas of right I should certainly greatly lesson my own self respect. For instance shortly after the April meeting of the Alliance, l was in formed by Mr. MeCandless that Mr. Mays had introduced a resolution bar ring all unpaid stockholders after the first of June, aud I would bo expected to turn over the money in my hands tan that date to be redistributed to him ad others who had already received their demands. (Imagine Mr. Mays agonizing be fore the Alliance to get his resolution passed that lie might redivide and wind up the affairs of the old corporation.) I told Mr. MeCandless I would never do it as it was an illegal and immoral proceeding that it would be an attempt to unlawfully seize private property I am sorry the Alliance allowed Mr. Mays to put upon them the responsibility of the passage of a resolution fraught with so much dan ger to our inherent rights—the confis cation of a person's property without allowing him to be heard . For illustration suppose the Presi dent of some bank desired to wind up the affairs aud he would have pub lished in some paper in the vacinity that all the stockholders who failed to present their stock for payment by the following Saturday night would be barred and the stock folders to (he Conspiracy met on Monday morning and redivided all the assets belonging to the stockholders who failed to get in on time. Can you conceive ot a mure high handed robbery. I would inquire from Mr. Maya as he 883 s he met on June tho first, anxious to have the whole matter adjusted and redivided the money uncalled lor which you sav is sev eral hundred dollars. ‘‘You met” You was anxious. You found sev eral hundred dollars on hand why didn’t you divide out this uncalled for money, the purpose for which you met, armed with your resolution passsed in the Alliance in April as published in the Headlight; why did you hesitate to carry out this high handed crime.
