Jackson never has and never will liaye an unnatural growth or so called boom. She grows steadily and al ways holds what she gets. The safest possible investment that can be made is to put;money into Jackson’s enterprises and Butts county dirt. Dr. Mays is very uneasy now foi fear some of the worthless democrats will come over to his party and taint its an gelic folds.

Cotton is coming in rapidly, but it can’t be told by looking at our subscrip tion books. Farmers come to town, pay everything in sight—except subscrip tion to the Akg us—and then go home happy to dream over the trials and trib ulations of a poor starving newspaper man. Say, when you come to town with the next * bale wont you please call round and let us hear from you? V? e want to see how your whiskers look, and besides we cau talk the matter ovei with you sufficiently to show that we are real ly in a starving condition.

We need the money! We need it now! And we dislike to drop your name from our books, but we can’t send you au S page paper for nothing, so you must cal and settle. It is only one dollar that you owe us, but when you count up two or three hundred who owe the same it amounts to something. >ow, Please heed this geutle request and come forward and settle your account. fll JACKSOH ASfilS. Mi-8. Smith of Atlanta, who has been visiting her daughter, Mrs. Burpee, in Jackson for the past week has returned h ime. The storm which was predicted to strike Jackson about yesterday either went over or under us for all of which we are very thankful. Miss Annie Jackson went up to Atlan ta on Tuesday morning and spent the day with her mother, whose home was recently devastaed by lire in that city. The Democratic Executive Committee of Butts County is requested to meet at the Court House in Jackson on Tuesday the 16tli of October at 11 o'clock A. M. A full attendance is desired. E. E.

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. JACKSON, GA., THUSDAY, OCTOBER IT. 1894. One of the best citizens of our county says he has found out what the third par ty is, and this is his definition: “A few white men gone over to the negroes.” L.C. Gray, of Jenkinsburg says: “Let cotton go at 3or 4 cents but God pre serve the state and prolong the union.” This week’s Christian Index has a fine sermon together with a good cut of Rev. G. 11. Carter, our former pastor, one can almost see Mr. Carter when reading the sermon, it is so much like him. Harness repairing done to or der at Majo & Goggans. P. 11. IIENCELY.

I have just received a carload of the celebrated SIUDE BAKER WAGONS, the best Wagon made and prices are O. K. Respectfully, sep-20-1 m A. G. Hitchins. 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 photographer, was sitting on the veran da at a certain dress makiug establish ment next door to the Argus office, when 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 lery.
