ANNUAL SINGING.
On the first Sunday in October the
vocalists of this section will me .t m
annual session at Sandy Creek church,
where they have met for many years
past to sing praises to God from the
old Sacred Harp in such songs as
those written by such men asNewtou,
Whitfield, Watts, Cowper, Hastings
and Wesley, who have long since
gone to the Heaven of which they use
to sing. The object of this meeting
is to praise God and for no other pur
pose, and, therefore, strictly sacred
songs will be sung. Remember the
day, the first Sunday in Oct. 1894.
THE TRUeTREASON.
The Third Party is to blame for
cotton being ao low. Capitalists
are afraid to let their money out or
to buy any kind of property that
will give the laborers work to do.
1 heae political agitators and com
munistic ideas paralyzes all kinds of
industry. The laws as they are
though we might change them from
time to time to suit changing con
ditions, are not half as much the
cause ot the low prices as the Third
Party, They agitate all the time
and keep business unsettled and
cotton low, and factories from being
built where the poor mgroes could
get work to do and live and be
py- If it was not for their wild
ideas now cotton would be worth
nine cents, so they are costing the
farmers of this country fifteen dol
lars per bale right now- They are
thick in Kansas and the people out
there are perishing to death. Times
were good and cotton high before
we had any Third Party.
L. R. Casous is tlie place to buy
shoes and hosiery.
THE PIANO PARTY.
On last Tuesday the Piano Party
met in the court house to listen to a
harangue by one moderately colored
gentleman by the name of Doyle.
The said Doyle has some Sparta
fame and has been in Alabama
helping Kolb aince he and Watson
was beaten in the 10th.
The Black Keys predominated in
that meeting here, and in fact the
Third Party is depending upon the
negroes in Butts county, of course
there is some exceptions but the bet
ter Class of the few white men who
belong to it can’t look God in the
face end say that they are not in the
party “for revenue only. They, the
intelligent white men who belong to
the party wouid quit it in five min
utes if they knew like we do, that
they would nevei get office in it.
L. R. Cason’s store is the place to
buy millinery and notions.
Mr. David Thaxton left on Thurs
day for Dublin Ga. whers he will
engage in the publication of a week
ly paper No man who lives in
this city could go away with more
sincere regrets of a’l our people than
did Mr Thaxton.
Born and raised in this county,
he took an active part in the affairs
of the county in his early manhood
and from that time has always been
an earnest advocate of every public
euterprise whose object was the
upbuilding of the people or the
business of his section. He has
stood up for the right regargdless
of consequences and to day he
counts eyery man, woman and
child in Bntts county as hi 3 friend.
L. R. Cason’s store is the place
now to buy dress goods and trim
mings.
FOUND
One black horse mule, very wild.
He is now impounded in Mays &
Co.’s livery stable. Owner can get
him by paying expenses.
j. M. Holifiild.
THINK OF IT.
There is now languishing in the coun
ty jail, a white man who is accused of
taking a razor from a Mr. Tollerson, his
former employee. If he is not released
on bond he will have to remain in jail
until the February term of court as an
expense to the county. He is now and
has been, since his confinement, a very
sick man, and has t,o secure medical
attendance daily. If he is convicted of
taking the razor at the next term of
court, no disposition save to lie in jail
as a further expense to the couuty can
be xiade of him, no lessee wants a man
who is not able to work, so he will only
have to remain in Butts county, jail at
50c a day’s expense to our tax payers.
Now, here is about what it will cost our
county to dispose of this gigantic case of
larcency.
To board 7 months $105.00
” trial by jury $200.00
If convicted and sentenced
to 1 year board , SIBO.OO
To medical attendance SIOO.OO
Total $585.00
We do not in any mannei believe in
disposing of criminals by giving them
thell release before trial, but here is a
case of a man, who, while drunk, at an
unguarded moment, walked off with a
razor of Mr. Tollerson’s in his possession,
lie is afflicted with a disease of a dread
ful nature, and which it may require
years of medical attention to be healed
of; he is lying in jail at an expense to the
county of $15.00 per month, and the
total cost of trial and everything will not
foot up less than $585.00. Suppose now
he is convicted; at an expense of $200.00
and required to stay in jail one year at
an additional expense of $200.00 more for
board and medical attention, where is
the profit to come in either to Mr. Tol
lerson or Butts county. The man is an
invalid, he is an expense to the county,
Mr. Tollerson lias been assured that he
will get another razor for the one taken,
and it is our opinion that the best thing
that can be done is to turn him out and
let him go to some hospital and there
stay until he has been relieved of his
illness. If he was in the possession of
health we would be one of the last to put
in a plea for his release, but taking the
enormity of the offense into consider
ation—taking a razor —the criminals
failing health—and what that razor wil
cost our county—we feel that in asking
his release we are doing a charitable act
toward suffering humanity.
Since writing the above, we learn
that Mr. Tollerson is circulating a
petition for the release of the prisoner
refered to, and it should be signed by
every man in our county,
HIGH FALLS CONVENTION.
The above named musical body met at
d/acedonia on last Friday and sang and
transacted business until Sunday, which
was the day of days for singing, All the
good singers were there and we cannot
ennmerate them for we are blessed with
many good siDgers- A great number went
trom Jackson and claim that they were
too well fed and cared for so nioley that
they want another next >Sunclay, in the
afternoon some of the good old folks re
quested Mr. E- E. Pound to lead a lesion
in the old Sacred Harp. Mr. irapp, an
old gentleman of 80 years, requested
them to sing old Bellevue, “How Firm
a foundation,’* etc. When the location
was made it seemed that every man, wo
man and child in the house was singing
and those woods reechoed with the praises
of God in the very same words and mu*
sic that mihgled with the hoop of the In-
dian when Chrigtianty was first being
planted in the forests that theu overspread
this God blessessed country. A/auy old
patriarchs and matrons will never forge
that song, even when the icy hands of
death is fastening upon their natural ex
istence. May the great benefactor give
these people another day as sweet and an
other song in the realms of bliss is our
de?ire.
TOWN AND COUNTRY.
She does not heed the cable-car
Which goes with speed intense;
She cares not for the trolley wire
Whose voltage is immense.
The old excursion steamer brings
No terror to her brow,
But when she is in the country she will
m run across acres of ground and climb
barbwire fences to escape the affable
though inquisitive gaze
Of an aged, docile cow.
THE BRASS BAND.
Jackson cannot afford to lag behind
other towns in regard to a proper display
when their time comes for the rally.
Ihe democrats of this section are to be
treated to a great feast of democratic doc
trine when we stand and listen to words of
wisdom from such lips as those possessed
by General bvans, General Gordon, Hon.
Joe James and Hon. Robert Berner.
Can't we have a brass band? We know
your answer will be yes, of course, yes,
yes!
