The protracted meeting, which has
been in progress at the Baptist church
for the past week, closed on Sunday
uight last, having made twelve acces
sions to the church, anddoue an unlimi
ted amount of good otherwise. The
Rev. Mr. Gardner werked unceasing to
make tile revival what it proved to be—
a success in every way. And in his ef
forts he was most ably assisted by the
Rey. Mr. Collier, who deserves a large
amount of credit for the able and efficient
manuer in which he expounded the gos
pel to the satisfaction of his hearers and
the glory of God. No minister has ever
come to Jackson, and in such short space
of time, made a more favorable impres
sion on our people, and gained their ev
erlasting love and confidence as did Mr.
Collier.” Iu his short talk to the congre
gation, after services Sunday night, he
thanked them for the favors shown him
during his sojourn in our midst, and as
sured them that he would ever remem-
ber and cherish the happy moments
spent iu their comi any. On next Sunday
night, the regular pastor, Rev. G. W •
Gardner, will give a reading on Baptism,
after which the rites of the baptismal
service will be administered to those
who joined this denomination duiiug
the protracted services which have just
closed. Everybody is invited to come
out and hear this reading as he has given
it before to his congregations at other
places and it has proven very interesting
to those who have been so fortunate as
to hear it rendered.

If t-lie Argus is not mistaken, it is
strictly against the provisions of the
lease to sell Indiau Spring water, and we
can't see how Mr, George Collier, or any
one else is goiug to do this when the
lease contract specifically states that the
water is free to any nation or clime, and
cannot be sold under any circumstances.
We would like to see it arranged so that
the people of Georgia could get the ben
efiit of this water without traveling so
far to gain this privilege, but as we sold
our interest in the spring a good while
back it is not now in our power to regu
late the provisions to suit oui selves, or
the suffering public off at a distance.
The state says: If you want the water,
you must come after it, and we here
wash our hands of the matter and relin
quish all claims, even unto the rusty
dippers which cluster around the spring.
One day recently J. B. Guthrie, the

a woman from the country drove up and
asked for her dress to be sent out to the
buggy. The dressmaker came to the
door aud bandiug Guthrie the dress
went back into the bouse. Guth took
the dress out to the buggy aud as be
handed it to the woman therein, she re
plied; “Tell yer wife she needu't be ou
easy ’bout the money as Bill will be to
town on Saturday and will come ’round
and pay yer wife fer the makiu’ of it.”
“Good day, sir!” And Guth scratched
his head aud went back over to bis gal
