Little Alfred last week left the Methodist Orphans’ Home, at Decatur, Ga., where he was taken about a year ago, because he had no one to take care of him, and now has one of the best Christian farm homes in Georgia. His sweet face won lor him love from many, and opens his new home for him. The children at the home wept heartily as he left, for they called him “our baby,” and he begged not to go. But it was beHeved the best for him to bless these people as their sweet child. Many chil dren annualy go through this home, while the number constantly remains about fojd^.five. Those who see the happy industrious family there, feel that their gifts are well placed Here the orphans from all oyer Nortli Georgia are welcomed. A Friend.

While driving from Jackson week Prof. H. M. Fletcher accompa nied by his sister Miss Neva Fletcher and Miss Mary Duke, drove on to Glenn's bridge over Towaliga river and the horse backed off the bridge, falling in the liver on his back and throwing buggy bottom upwards in the water. The two young ladies were caught under the buggy and would have drowned but for the presence of Mr. Fletcher’s father, R. M. Fletcher, who assisted him in rescuing the la dies. With the exception of some se rious bruises the loss of Miss Mary’s hat and watch chain the whole party came out aiive but wet. The horse or the buggy was not hurt though they fell several feet.

A glance at the names of the Grand Jury, published in last weeks Argus, will convince the most skeptical that the interest of the county will be well attended to in the present term of the Superior court. They are all good, practical men, just such as should make our grand juries. Such a jury will doubtlsss leave our county in such a business like a'titude as to command the admiration of all. They don't resemble a set of men who would throw their county paper in the embarassing position to either de cline, or to publish the presentments for nothing, when the legal rate for the same would amount te twenty-five or thirty dollars, and we dou’t believe they will. Such important legal doc uments should be neatly published and presented to the public in a read able shape and the county is able to pay tor having it dons and we believe the public is due that much and will get it through the columns of the Ar gus. o.

Don’t send your name unless you bad read it all except the names before you read this notice. W e challenge any man or woman in this part of the moral vineyard to call to mind the time they saw a bumble-bee yellow-jacket or hornet during this year. We think the cold snap killed every ev ery one of them, did it not? There was a whistling negrO in Jack son Saturday night that beat anything that we have yet heard in this line. He could whistle three different tunes at one time, and imitated a mocking bird to perfection. The Argus is an all home printed pa per, since we took charge of her. So don’t accuse Atlanta for boring you to death with so much reading matter. We do it all with our little types. That faithful son of democracy, Hon. Charlie Bartlett, is the nominee for con gress from this district. Fayette and Jones county went for him last week unanimously, giving him a total of 18 votes, four more thau is necessary for the nomination. The weekly editors are reariug around New York this week on a prospecting tour. Some of them think of locatiug boot-black stands in the metropolis, pro vided they can get a suitable location. Now, the question arises, “where did they steal the brushes and blacking?” The Pocahontas Matrimonial Agency at the Morrison House have elected Prof. Blasingame as president. W. G. Thomp son was “disbarred” because he couldn’t even become engaged, with the assis tance of the whole agercy to back him. Charlie Smith has put in his application for a brunette of 18,who has a gentle dis position, and is not afraid to sit upon the front veranda after 6 p. m. All members iu good standing will govern themselves accordingly. Next week is court week, and please remember to bring in that dollar you owe us for subscription to the Argus during the past year. The blackberry crop is short this season and we need it more than ever on that account. The Holiness Camp Meeting opens up on the 28th of this month. Preparations are now being made and the grounds gotten into suitable oondition to accom modate the large crowd that will at tend. On September Ist Mr. Harold Higgins will go to Atlanta, where he has accep ted a position as clerk in the large dry goods emporium of Douglass, Thomas & Davidson. He will be pleased to have his friends call on him when they go up to the Gate City, The crying need of Jackson at present is more residences. There are at least five families who would come to Jackson for the purpose of sending their ohildreu to school if they could find a suitabe house to live in. Why don’t sone of our capitalists build a few.residences here, it is a paying investment. Headquarters for the Sit Fast Club is at Dr. Crum’s drug store.

Mr. S. C. McCandless, of Jackson, has been chosen by the Peoples Party of the 26th district to make the ) ace for Sena tor on the populist ticket against the democratic uominee, Judge Walter C. Beeks, of Spalding county. In choosing Mr. McCandless the populists have se lected a gentleman in every sense of the word, he is true to his convictions in ev ery particular and the only argument that can be placed against him is that he is on the wrong side. Mr. McCandless is one of the strongest P. P. men in the state, and though doomed to defeat, he will make the strongest race of any man yet put forth by the populists. We regret to see such men as Mr. McCandless put upon the slaughter block, but as he ex presses itiuhis own words; “It is their wish, and my duty to the party is that I abide their decision,” shows that he is a man of the right spirit and pne in whom can be placed the most implicit trust. We grant that every man has a right to his own opinion to think as he pleases, and we are confident Mr. McCandless is doing some tall thinking just now as to what Judge Beeks’ majority will be in this district Sid, our heart is with you, but it grieves us to know that our votes must go in the other direction. LIVELY FOOT RACE. Legs! Nigger! John McCallum! Little bucket of lard! This is the sequel to a lively foot race which happened about 8 o’clock on Sat urday night last. The starting point was the New York Store, and the starters were John Mc- Callum and a “coon.” Here’s how it all came about: For several days congress has been hammer ing away on the tariff bill, and it reached the ears of Ed Lockett, an ebony hued son of Ham, that they might accidently put a higher duty on lard; so be forth with carried himself to the Carmichael Company’s store and proceeded to make a few purchases, and paid for them, just to keep his band in. But all the while, visions of congress, tariff and lard were chasing themselves through his frantic brain with imagi native ingenuity; so, to be on the safe side, and get a “corner” on this neces sity of life before congress could get a lick at it, when no one was looking, he carefully figured on the distance be tween a small bucket of lard and the box containing his purchases. With wondrous dexterity the lard changed positions; but as the negro was making preparations to leave without telling Mr. McCallum good bye, he felt a little slighted, and as he walked around from behind the counter to ascertain the cause, he noticed that the negro's box had assumed gigantic pi'oportions for the money expended, so he approached Mr. Nigger for the purpose of holding a post mortem examination on his purchases. This rash act brought on a discussion, and during the heated conversation which ensued, the negro’s temperature dropped about eight degrees, when the box followed suit. McCallum went for the negro and the negro went for the front door. Then the flag dropped, and they were off ! Up the street 1 Nigger in the lead! McCallum close behind! Legs! Niggei! McCallum! Further up the street! Nigger gain ing! Legs! McCalium! At Carmichael’s buggy factory the negro went around ilie corner like he was “sarnt” after! McCallum’s legs wrapped around ajiiteliing post in front of Cason’s store, and the race ended! Time, 12 seconds! But the negro left the lard, and Mc- Callum went back to the store and used about half of it greasing the axles in his knee joints! It is said that the reason McCallum failed to catch the negro is that he lost his breath just as he got in front of Cohen’s store and had to back back to Dr. Bryan’s befoi*e he could regain it, and by that time the “coon” had gained too much headway on him, and, besides, McCallum was fast losing steam by his heated exertion of splitting the wind after the fleeing darkey. The race was witnessed by at least fifty spectators, ai:* of whom will risk their bank accounts that John McCal lum’s legs can make more revolutions to the minute than any passenger locomo tive on the East Tennessee road.

Mr. Editor:— l have been debating in my mind for several days whether to notice anything that has been said in newspapers concerning what I am charged by 6ome papers as saying concerning Indian Spring, especially the “Looking Glass.” Especially so because I nevei saw nor talked to any reporter of that paper concerning any thing. I just want to say through your excellent paper this much: I shall reprove any sin or evil calcu lated to hurt my race or dishonor God that comes under my observation, but as to making such charges as the Looking Glass says I made, lam sure 1 never made, of Indian Springs nor any other place, unless it was “hell.” Indian Springs may not be any worie than other public watering places but God knows aud all good people know that it is not clear of all evil. Now if any of my friends or any one who feels aggrieved is anxious to know what I did say they can find me at the parsonage of the M. E. Church in Jackson, aud I will most assuredly repeat what I did say in Atlanta. W. T. Bell.

Old man Ed Ilusou is one of the best fellows that ever honored a town with his genial smile and courteous attention to all with whom he has to do. The Loafers’ Club have changed their dinner hour from 12 to 2 o’clock p. m. They say it’s too hot to walk home to dinner at 12 o’clock, thus the change. Guthrie said he bad the “spasmodic eviction” last Monday. He ate a green watermelon. It’s a wonder it hadn’t given him a severe attack of the “tur bulous controvertability.” W. G. Thompson says he has “shined a light in a rabbit’s eyes at a hundred yards.” Yes, West’s a very good shiner, but we heard a young lady say Tuesday evening that he won’t shine anymore kerosene oil iu her parlor after 10 o’clock p. m. Twelye is his usual hour for mak ing connections with the front door. A beautiful young lady who liyes near our our office was leaving home,recently and spoke loudly to her little sister, af - ter having walked some distance and said: Good bye darling” Our Junior was looking out at the window immediately behind the child and politely tipped his hat and curtly replied: Good bye. Editors Argus— riease ask Professor Thompson of Flovilla and Douglass Watson who stole a dog. Don’t ask a certain beautiful black eyed young lady about this matter for she will tell the truth about it* . Inquirer. They tell it on Bob Carmichael that he saw an advertisement in a newspaper a few days ago, headed “Howto get rich.” He sent a quarter in answer to the “ad” and received the following reply: “Increase your receipts, decrease your expenditures, woi'k 18 hours a day and live on hash and oat-meal gruel,” Col. Y. A. Wright says Will Wright, (his dogship) didn’t like our article in last week’s issue statiug that Will was “pernucing” around Jackson in his company. We hereby extend William an apology.

Dr. Ellis says he is right square in the middle of the carpet with both feet, and all pretty young ladies who are marriage ably inclined will please take notice. The doctor is a jovial good fellow, and some pretty young lady is missing the golden opportunity of her life by letting him con tinue to stroll around single. At this season of the year the man who is continually propounding the question, “is it hot enough for you?” should be sent to the north pole to get his head cooled. il/essrs W. J, Vaughn and Taylor But' trill had a lively experience with a runa way mule on 7 uesday of this week. 7he report is out that the mule started to run and Mr. Buttrill kicked the dasbbord off in his frantic efforts to reach the ground. Taylor says Mr. Vaughn is the man who kicked off the dashboard, and that he was an innocent party to the whole affair. Anyway the dashboard went off, and the mule said he didn’t do it* So that’s how it stands up to the time we go to press. Charlie South says the next time he goes out riding with a young lady he will take a few rubber coats and a life preserver along. He got washed away a few even> ings ago, while out riding near Flovilla, and when he returned home he had to ge to bed and wait until his clothes dried be fore he could come out. We saw a certain young professor of a school near Mr. Dempsey’s residence, re turning a young lady’s photograph on Tuesday last, and oh, it was a horrible spectacle! If that young lady could have seen the poor young fellow sealing the en velope, she would certainly have recalled her letter and made a few amendments to it. G'uthrie has the reputation of being the “biggest” eater in Jackson It’s a com mon occurence for him to carve two loaves of bread, eight biscuit, a chicken, two plates of beans, three dishes of soup, four glasses of milk, half a peck of Irish potatoes, three squashes and two beef steaks for dinner. And if he works hard all the morning, the other boarders don’t go to dinner at all, they know it's useless, as it requires all the hotel can scrape up for him. THE NEW MUSIC TEACHER. Miss \ irginia Lee McKie of Oxford Mississippi has beer engaged to ttke charge of the Music department of Jackson Institute for the ensuing year. Miss McKie comes to us with the highest recommendations from those who have known her from her child hood and from the ollege3 in which she has taught. Below is a letter from Dr. 11. 1L Fulton, Chancellor of the University of Mississippi, which will introduce Miss McKie to the citizens of Jackson as a young lady in every way worthy of their friendship and society. University P. ()., Miss., June 27, 'O4. President Jas. C . Blasingame, Zulmlan, Ga. Dear Sir: It is with great pleas ure that I respond to your request for information regarding Miss McKie of Oxford, Miss., because I know her to be worthy of my heartiest euconiums I have known her all her life al most, as she has lived bye all her life with the exception of two or three years spent in study in Cincinnati and elsewhere, and other periods spent, iu teaching. She is decidedly handsome iu person and of very prepossessing manners. No people in our state stand higher socially than her family, and she is, oti account of her social disposition very popular with young people. She is a member of the Melhodist church, and has served quite a time as organ ist for the church. Her musical edu cation was obtained first under Miss Conkcy, a splendid teacher of highest ability and be9t training, and tliea at the conservatory in Cincinnati. I have heard Miss McKie and re gard her as a performer of exception al ability. She has had as pupils here members of families who would not have any but the best teaching, and I have never Heard any adverse crititi cism of her teaching er her music, ci ther vocal or instrumental. She belongs to a family character zed by refinement, and by energy in all undertakings, I have full confi dence in her ability, and willingly commend her to your favorable con sideration. Yours very truly, R. B. Fulton, Chancellor. From the Board ol Control of Isbell College, Alabama, wr take the follow ing: “Our community has been charmed with her (M iss McKie’s) solo singing and recitations, i ■ both of which she furnishes beautiful models to her pu pils.” Miss McKie has taken four medals iu music, one of (hem under a grad ute of Leipzig. She has taught in the Martha Washington College, Virginia, and Isbell College, Alabama, from both of which she brings the highest testimonials. It is the intention ot tlie president to offer as good advantages in the M usic department of Jackson Institute as can possibly be had without too great sacrifice on his part, and to this end he has spared neither time, pains nor expense. After over two months ot careful, painstaking enquiry and in vestigation of the merits of about eighty applicants Miss .McKie was chosen as the most competent an I able teacher of Piano and voice. She also teaches Organ and Guitar. The young ladies of the town who may wish to prosecute their musical studies will findau able and thorough teacher in Miss McKie. GOOD PASTORS. I am prepared to take a few head of stock to pasture. Good grass, water and shade: luquire of G. M. Lattig at the Morrison House. THEY WERE SHOCKED. Two you tig ladies not a thousand miles from this city, says the Griffin (Ga ) News and Sun, visited here a short while since, and during their stay became infatuated with the idea of having their photographs taken with their heads sticking eoquet tisbly through a torn newspaper, and visited the gallery for that purpose. However when the pictures were finished, they were horrified to see what they had failed to notice. The newspaper they had stuck their heads through was an Atlanta sheet, and just beneath their smiling faces was a big display advertisement ofa cloth ing firm which announced: “Our pants are lined in the seat.” McCarthy’s Catarrh Ointment cures Catarrh or money refund ed sold by Dr. W. L. Carmichael. Dr. Battle, president of Shorter col lege at Rome, said while in Jackson: “Jackson institue is certainly one of the best schools in the state. I would have no hesitancy in letting a pupil from this school enter any class in Shorter, for which the president of Jackson In stitute said she was prepared.” This is just praise of a worthy institution. The school has made a reputation for thoroughness such as few schools in the state can boast. The coarse of study is broad and comprehensive, and is arranged according to the most ap proved plans of the best educators of the country.

Editors Arbus:— On J/bnday morning last, a tall gentleman, presumably a Jack son lawyer, who has considerable farming interests in our county, was out at the res idence of Mr. Leßoy Moore, and after chatting a while with the home folks, he departed in the direction of Jackson, and about the same time he left T our pot dog disappeared. A T ow, I don’t say that this lawyer took the dog, but he was the only stranger around the house at this time and there couldn’t anybody else have gotten it except him. We prized the dog very highly, and any informormation that will lead to his whereabouts will be cheerfully rewarded. Please notify Sheriff Beau champ of the matter and if possible try and get the guilty party. By so doing you will confer a lasting favor upon One ix Trouble. Dr. P, R.

They are a liye firm, and deserve a large patronage. Why don’t some of our enterprising capitalists build three or four nice brick stores on the north side of the square. They can be rented six months before they are completed, and besides it would add so much to that deserted and va cant space now existing at the place mentioned. Jackson is now a growing and prosperous city, and it will put money in some enterprising man’s hands who is willing and has the energy to build a few nice residences and stores here in our midst. Every line of type that you read in the Anars is printed right here in our office. We do all our own work, and the Ar.ous since we took charge, is an “all home printed institution.” Not a word of it is printed outside the city, and as long as we have it in charge, we will continue to follow out this rule. We are endeav oring to give the people of Jrckson a good, live paper, and that can only be done by doing the work ourselves. So just remember when you read the Auers now, that every line of it is fresh, from the first page to the last,and you neednt skip anything for fear that it is done outside of Jackson, for our paper comes to us blank and when we get through with it we turn it over to our subscri bers all printed right here in your midst.
