Mr. Ila’e lost a tenant house by fire on Sunday. O Mr. D. F. Thaxton has our thanks for a nice “mess” of turnips. Dock is a good one. If the populist were to tell the whole truth, they would go like some men we bear of, it would kill them. No more wood wanted at the Jackson Oil Mill. Meade Hendrick. Tom Buttrill who is attending a busi ness college in Atlanta taking a course in bookkeeping spent Sunday in Jackson with his relatives. We learn that the price of cotton seed has been reduced to 40 cents a hundred. The people of this state got less for their seed than other states last year. Mr. John McKibben died of consump tion on Monday morning, and was buri ed at New Hope on Tuesday. He ex pressed himself as wiling to meet the issue of eternity, Guthrie says poyerty is the only thing that keeps him from hiring two horses and riding the girls out on Sunday after noons. He says when it comes to lying he's strictly in it, but he can’t go the money for buggies, etc. Dr. R. J. Massey, of Atlanta, is being urged as the right man for principal pby siciau of the Georgia penitentiary. He has indorsements from some of the best men of the couutry and will doubtless secure the place, as bis competency is now established. Prof. T. J. Christian, who has so ably conducted his school at Worthville in this county, spent Sunday and Monday in Macon. He is now enjoying a vaca tion of a few weeks before resuming his duties. Prof. Christian is a cultured gentleman and is giving perfect satisfac tion to his patrons. Mr. .F. Whitney and wife, also Mrs. J. . Carmichael, Miss Clyde McCallum and little Cleo, attended the marriage of Miss Florence Bramblett aud Mr. Mays at Forsyth last week. They had a most pleasant time on the trip and were great ly pleased. The negro who ravished Mrs. Pope, ia Jasper county, was in Jackson on Sat urday night last trading at the New Aork Store. It was not known until after he was gone that the officers were after him, otherwise he could have been cap tured. The Carmichael Cos., are selling goods so cheap now that even criminals can’t keep from trading with them when the sheriffs and marshals are scouring the country looking them up. ggggggggggggg ton & Brown Shoe Cos s goods in and Ladies’ Men’s, and Rockland <fc Co’s in Men’s and warrant every pair, don’t fail to see our Shoes, Clothing.

Come out on November 6th and yote the straight democratic tieket. Hon. T. J. Dempsey is now in Atlanta as the representative of our people. Mr. Willie Hodges, a promising young mau of our county, about 20 years of age, and son of Mr. F. M. Hodges, died on Saturday and was buried at Macedo nia on Monday. When cotton is just the same price as in other towns, it pays to come to Jack son. For the reason that goods are 25 per cent cheaper for the same kind of goods here. In fact, a man can buy more clothing and clothes of every kind with a bale of cotton now than he could when cotton was 8 cents a pound. Be cause goods are selling for less than half what they were then in Jackson. This may not be true in regard to all towns, but it is of Jackson. You can get the Argus and the New York World (twice-a-week) for the small price of $1.75 a year, strictly in advance. This is the greatest value in reading matter ever offered Middle Geor gia. If you are in arrears to the Argus and want to take advantage of this com bination, you must pay up all arrearages, besides the $1.75 adyance payment. On our arrival at the office one'faorn ing this week, we found at our office door a fine lot of pad-board with this inscription: FROM S. M. POPE to THE ARGUS. How nice it is to be remembered by our friends in this little matter. Many thanks, friend. Ray & Ray, attorneys for J. MattMc- Michael, served Col. Dempsey with no tice of contest Monday, stating that tes timony would be taken in the court house on Monday next hetore J. C. Mad dox, J. P. There are numerous charges of fraud on the part of the mauagers. It will be the first thing of the kind to occur in our county, and is a notice to demoorats to, in the future, make their majorities large enough. But, great goodness, seventy is enough. Mr. J. R- Carmichael on Wednesday last shipped a car load of his excellent Jackson Buggies to Macon, where he will put them on exhibition at the Fan grounds. He also sent down some ball bearing axles and rubber tire buggies which he is now handling. Mr. Steven Kinard will be in charge of the exhibit at the fair grounds, while Mr. Carmi chael remains in Jackson to look after his collections, etc. We are confident that the Jackson Buggies will make a grand showing at the fair, as no better grade of yehicles can be found than those manufactured right here in Jack son by tha Jackson Carriage Factory. We aie looking for a blue ribbon to come back with those buggies. JACKSON, GA., THUSDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1894, Men's Suits 2 50 worth $4 50 Men’s Suits $3 50 wo*-th $6 Men’s Wool Sui's $5 worth SB.

Sometime ago we wrote a pieee concern ing the sale of Indian Spring water at Atlanta, Griffin and other places by Mr. George Collier, the affable and gentle manly proprietor of the Wigwam hotel at the Spring. Mr. Collier was in to see us and has succeeded in showing us wherein we were misinformed regarding the matter. So we hereby give him permission to sell this valuable water anywhere and in such quantities as he may think best. The law giye6 him the right to do as he pleases with Indian Spring water, and we were laboring un der a wrong impression of a clause in the lease when our article was written We wii-h Mr. Collier all the success in his undertaking that he justly deserves, aud hope this article may set the matter right before the people.

We of all people on the earth are not to be divided. Twenty-seven years ago when a great government sought to de stroy the men and women of this people the clanger was not so great as it is now. For then the whole people were united, and I say now regardless of whether it hurts me, that this is a white man’s country, aud the white man who seeks to divide the white people and make the negro the balance of power is a worse enemy tathe peace of this country than the mau who inyades it with a torch. We are not going to have in this great state of Georgia any negro rule. I will be the last man who will endeavor to take from any negro that which belongs to him, and I believe in giving him equal rights before tbe law, but I want it understood that this is a white man’s country, the wliiteman must rule.” Major Bacon concluded with a splendid tribute to the party and a strong appeal to the people to roll up a big majority for Judge Bart lett. The above words coming from the source they do, falling from the lips of a disinterested person, so far as self is concerned, and in fact insuring and al most counting the solid vote of the pop ulist against him in the legislature, should cause every patriot in this broad laud to go to work hard for democracy. Hon. A. O. Bacon rose above himself when he uttered the above brave words. BUCKLEN’S A RNICA SALVE.

(Jar after car of coal, lumber and cotton seed arriving daily. It looks like a young Atlanta. It appears that H. F. Gilmore and J. A. Plunkett are on a race, as they both have a contract to build a church. Our community is very much grieved over the death of our beloved friend, Mr. John McKibben. Mr. J. A. Plunkett has been attending the Presbytery in Atlanta this week, lie reports a fine time. He says that we will have Bro. Farr with us again next year. Mr. J. E. King was with us last Sun day. Jim still likes to cross over the town branch. Will Jolly says if he doesn’t go to Texas he will go as far as McDonough. Will’s girl does not live in McDonough. Mr. Andy Plunkett says there is noth ing prettier than a young lady with glasses on. Andy was out on Sunday last. Well, Mr. editor, come again, but bor row a horse and ride next time.

Tne Democratic Executive committee met in Jackson last Tuesday, and we have been informed by a little bird that happened to be inside when the doors were closed that they decided not to give tbe populists any representation on the board of managers at next election. We hope there is some mistake about this as we know there is some men on that committee who will do right.—Flo villa Deadlight. i The above is a fair sample of the pop ulist’s campaign. There was noth ing of the kind passed on by the com mittee. Of course, we guess our con temporary w as misinformed by iis “little bird.” We also guess the bird itself was an imaginary one, existing only in the mind of tbe recorder. Such stuff ought to disgustevery fair minded man, even in the populist party, to say nothing of the doubtful democrats. It is a great pity that men otherwise respectable care nothing for misrepresenting their neigh bors in politics.

SKIN GAME. Two of the guarantee loan companies doing business in Atlanta have been de clared too much like a lottery by the government, and orders have been re ceived by Postmaster Fox to pay no more orders or deliyer any registered letters for them. The companies are the Southern Guar antee Loan Company, and the Equitable Loan and Security Company. They claim that they are not doing a lottery business, and that the matter will soon be adjusted by a test case in the courts. The case is interesting from the fact that a number of the best people in that city, among them Governor Nortlien and State Treasurer Hardeman, have unwit tingly allowed their names to be used in the business of the companies. Since it has been passed by the ruling of the government’s attorneys as a lottery Hon. R. L T . Hardeman, the state treasurer, whose name appeared as president of one of the companies, has tendered to the company his resignation. Governor Nortlien has asked that his name cease to be used as an officer of the company in their literature. Moral—Be sure you are right and then go ahead. NOTICE ! NOTICE ! !
