THE ARBUS. . J. 11 4it7io> a j. .hcDoxald, Editors mid Pu blishcrw. / ntered at the Potto j'tst. of*Jackson as second clans mail matter. PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY. luck ■on, t.a., October 11, 1891. ONE DOLLAR PER ANNUM. Jackson is the best c RUin mar ket in this country. Farmers get more on an average for their cotton than at anyoth* r town in this country. The merchants here sell goods cheaper than any other merchants and anything you want is for sale in J,n k-on cheaper than tne same kind t f goods at any other place. The truth is when 3 on get a little more for your cotton and get your goods for a litile loss, the common sense t f it all is this: it pays and pays like anything to come to Ja< ksor.

The City Tax Books are now now open for payment of City tax 1894, J. R. Lyons, Office W. U. T. Cos. C. R C. Bank Block, Jackson, Ga, Oct 10th 1894. AT THE STAR STORE. The grand opening at the Star Store on Thursday night is the talk of the town. A grand display of an immense stock of goods in regular city style. A regular concert with the very best of music. A hand of music could not have exceeded that produced by Miss McKie, Mr. Harp and Mr. Miller. The people are delighted with this treat from this enterprising firm. We have no ill feeling towards any populist on earth. They have a right to believe as they please, and we have al ways accorded them that privilege. But when a man has politics in his feet so bad that he stops his subscription to the akgus because we called tue pops the “piano party” we must rise to ask: Has Tom Watson got the brains for the whole shootin’ match? The stopping of that subscription is a great set-back to us and if no paper is issued from this of fice hereafter, you may know the reason. That pop that stopped his akgus will see this article, as lie will walk ten miles to a neighbor’s house to get our paper; he can’t do without it; it’s natu ral for him to hunt it up, even if he has ♦o sneak around and borrow one. See! GRAND OPENING. The opening at the New York Store on Friday night was a grand affair. Jap anese lanterns threw their glimmering rays in among the brighter lights of the store aud street lamps, giving everything a peculiar though picturesque appear ance. The doorways were literally crowded to overflowing with Jackson’s beautiful ladies and gallant men. The beauty and magnificence pictured in the rooms could not be appreciated without having been seen. Miss Hattie Buttrill was the lucky lady who drew the fifteen dollar souyenir given away by this enter prising firm at their semi-annual open ing. Our people were delighted at the success of this grand affair. EAST JACKSON. Dear Mr. Editor: —Since the election tide has rolled by and Old Democracy still carries the banner it makes me feel proud, yes, I feel it in my bones, if it was not for my big feet I would try jumping up and cracking my heels to gether.
