Hon. W. L. Peek told some anecdotes in Jackson Saturday which like to have tickled the negroes to death’ But when they were asked to hold up their bauds to indicate their desire to vote for the populists, they didn't hold up. {silver is a full legal tender for all debts, public and private. Yet the Pop ulist speakers are constantly talking of the demonetization of silver. By what means would it he possible for the L ni ted States government to give to silver more power as money than it now pos- sesses. The formula of Ayer’s Sarsaparrilla is well known to the medical profession, and universally approved. The reputa tion of the firm guarantees excellence aud uniformity in the medicine, and the world’s experience for nearly half a cen tury has fully demonstrated its \alue. We are wanting to get out a trade, or historical, issue of the argus shoitly, and we want to be able to send out five thousand copies.

If we meet with sufficient encouragement in this it will be a big k thing for one of the best towns in the world. L. 11. Casons is the place to buy shoes und hosiery.

He said any fool ought to know that. It is a chacteristic of the human miud that it can only take good things slowly. So it has been with cycling, and especially as it concerns the gentler sex. At last they can ride without, as the critics say, unsexing themselves. Hanes the jeweler is receiving his new fall stock. Come in and see and price, all goods war ranted as represented. This slump in cotton is getting tire some. Thank goodness, many of our Georgia farmers have something in crib and smokehouse, and they can wait for the upward turn, which ought to come with an increased demand for cotton goods. The “A. P. A.” has developed into an aggressive political party in New Eng land and in the North West. Religious intolerance makes a very narrow plat form for a political party, but it seems to be quite broad enough to furnish a se oure footing to some people. The Dem cratic party is the party of religious and constitutional liberty and equality.

This 5 and 1-2 cents cotton is not what it was cracked up to be. Several Populist are grumbling at our paper for being Democratic. Now this is all wrong, of course we are not run ning a populist paper you know, if we were we rather think the democrats would kick. Col. W. T.

Death, visited our city on last Thursday and clasped in its cold embrace Little Julia Smith, 3 years of age, the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Smith, of Jackson. Lit tle Julia was striken with diphtheria some three weeks ago, and at one time was thought to be convalescing, and her hundreds of friends were confident of an early recovery, but a relapse occurred which soon overcame her vitality and she sauk rapidly under its weakening influences. Rev. J. H. Eakes, of Atlanta, preached the funeral sermon at the Methodist church, of which she was a member. There was a large concourse of people present, and as Mr. Eakes dwelt upon the Christian virtues of this lovable child, it seems to us as if a pin fall would have marred the solemnity of the occasiou. No death has ever elicited such genuine sympathy iu our midst, as did the demise of this charming example of Christ and His works. Julia has left a large concourse of friends to mourn her departure, and a place is vacant in a home which has once reverberated with the merry prattle of her childish voice, but is now stilled with the la mentable mournings of grief stricken parents. Our sj’mpathies are extended to the sorrwing family in their distress, and as consolation we point them to God' who doetli all things for the best. The remains were interred iu the Jack son cemetery on Friday afternoon, and were followed to their last resting place by an exceeding large concourse of friends. IN MEMORIAM. Respectfully written in memory of Little Julia Smith, who departed this life on Thursday last: She passed away with the summer flowers. That wither at the touch of Autumn’s breath, Passed forever away from this world of ours, Into the mysterious realm of death. And there’s sorrow and gloom and hearts distiest, For the reason of it all is beyond our sight, But God in nis goodness knovveth best, He knows, and He doetli all things right. Sweet Julia’s iu Heaven and her bonny eyes, Like the gazelle’s—brown and clear, Are watching and waiting from the portals of the skies, Waiting and watching for the loved ones here. And when the dream of life and its sorrow is o’er And the summons comes from the distant shore, We will meet again and’twill all he plain And we will dwell in peace forever more. W. His wife aroused him with a shout, “The cows are in the corn,” she said But weu He reached there he found The corn was in the cows, instead. Cotton is going at 5 3-8 cents yet but it is going going GOING. We have our bauds full of work now and consequently we are quite happy. Mr. W. M. Mallet is buying cotton seed by the wholesale. Mallet is a hustler when it comes to business. There is not now a single vacant busi ness house in Jackson. Row is that for high? Please he ready with that old rusty dollar you ow e when our collector calls on you. That genial piece of humanity, Mr. Alec Jolly of Stark paid the Akgus a call on Saturday last. Mr. Jolly is one among the best read citizens of our county and it always affords us pleasure to entertain him. Rev. J. T. Kimbell and his son Rev. F. T. Kimbell were in town last week. Old Uncle Jolmny and his son Timothy al ways did remind us of Paul the apostle and his son. These two ministers are do ing a great work for the cause of Chris tianity in their native county.

He told of the kind ness of his master, and realygrew enthu siastic when he came to the Saturday evenings when he woflfcl play marbles with his young masters and have a real free and easy time unincumbered by the cares of life.

If, that is if: Fulton county goes for Hines we are going to move the capitol to Milledgeville, or Jackson or Jenkins burg. The populists created an uproar at the court house on Saturday last. It seems that every time Peek batted his eyes some “coon” over in the far corner would yell until his lungs were in dan ger. It’s like the party, hoAvever, there is more blow than damage done at these entertainments. During Mr. Peek’s speech a democrat happened to let his foot touch a pops back. The pop whirled around and said, “are you rubbing your feet on me because lam a populist. We dout knoAV what Mr. Elmo Andrews said to the man but it was real strange that a man could feel so self condemned as to be forever expecting some indignity. A guilty con science needs no accuser.

The five hundred dollar nag they now have on is kept busy all the time as well as all their clerks. The Abgus is a hus tler and our readers look for bargains in its columns and never fail to find them. DEMOCRATS CARRY BUTTS. The election passed off quietly here yesterday. The populists took their de feat good humoredly, and seemed to be satisfied with the showing they made. On the first count the majority seemedTO be about 94, but when the illegal votes are thrown out it will probably reach 150 or 200, for the reason that the ne groes voted almost solidly for the popu lists and they are the defaulters and therefore they will reduce the populists showing. The populists had four rally ing places in the county and carried ev ery one of them except Jeukiusburg. There is one thing sure, if the populists couldn’t succeed under the present con ditions, with practically a solid negro vote, wilt n the minds of the people are disabusing of the delsion that the democrats are to blame for the price of cotton and the difierent drouths over the county, our friends will give up the ghost. There was no one in the county who knew anything personally against any of the populists candidates, and they let eyery man vote his polit ical desires without prejudice or any such things and of course the majority will be less than it was two years ago, but it will be very little, which shows there was no material change in this county. We congratulate our people upon the fact that every thing is pleas ant in this county with the different factions, and each concedes to the other the right of his own conviction.
