A party of J -icksonians will do the Midwa'y of the Macon Fair tonight. If Joe Wright goes to the Macon Fair he had better keep off the Midway. See? Oh my! The clothes on those Nautcli girls at the Macon Fair are simply “out er sight.” Charlie Pinckney looks at the girls so hard these days that he is getting cross eyed. Ike Slaughter went to Griffin one day last week and never said a word to us about it. The merchants of Jackson who adver tise in the akgus are selling goods so cheap now that they make a man bite his tongue when he bears ’em. “Orange Blossom” is a painless cure for all diseases peculiar to women. Sold by W. L. Carmichael. There is a white man in our jail now charged with rape. His name is Hodge, and it is said that the assult was made upon his stepdaughter. Three of Jackson’s swell young taen “did” the Macon—Pompeii—Midway act Tuesday night. Of course we won’t tell ou ’em. We were in it. See? We are pleased to know that Little Ralph Carmichael, soil of Mr. J. R. Car michael, who has been very ill for the past few days, is some better at this writing. Is it not strange that there are some people bad enough to burn your house or your store, and kill people just for moue y —and sometimes just a little bttat that? A preventatiye against this, is to let it be known you keep all your money in Jacksou Bank, where thieves cannot break in, nor rust corrupt. The Jackson Banking Cos. will pay interest on long time deposits. We learn that Hon. Jake Moore, of Floyd county, has made application for Principal Keeper of the Georgia Peni tentiary. Mr. Moore is a good man and it would afford the abgus much pleasure to see this appointment. Governor At kinson, in our opinion, could not do better than bestow upon this worthy gentleman the Principal Keeper and a Georgia would rejoice at the appoiu ment. Mr. Moore is the strongest can didate now out for the position, and as he has hosts of admirers throughout the state his appointment is almost a foie goue conclusion. ggggg ton & Brown Shoe Co’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.

November 6th is the day to come out and show the world that you are a Dem ocrat. Put in one for Charlie Bartlett, anyhow. Come out on November 6th and cast your ballot for Democracy. Don’t stay home and act the part ot a “don’t care” when your vote is needed at the ballot box. The merchants of Jackson are second to none in the State when it comes to selling goods cheap. You can get better prices ou the same goods here at home than will be given you in either Macou or Atlanta. Wedding bells will ring out in Jackson this winter. Three marriages are booked as a certainty, with several yet unpipped. Keep your eye on Lee Smith and B- b Etheridge. It wouldn’t hurt much to watch Steve Kiuard, too. J. G. McDonald, Bob Etheridge and Billy Potts turned over the Midway in Macon Tuesday night. This is a hard team to down,-and they know exactly how to get right in the centre of an at traction of this kind. Rev. Dr. J. D. Chapman, of Macon, will preach iu the Baptist church at this place next Sunday morning and at night. Dr. Chapman is a splendid preacher and our people are to be congratulated upon the opportunity of heariug him. Jud Alraard, who has been residing at lugleside, Ga., since he left Jacksou, in forms us that he intends moving back to our city. We didn’t think such close friends as Jud and Jackson could remain away from each other very long at a time. Considerable sickness is prevailing in and around Jackson at present in the shape of coughs, colds, etc. Nearly every mau you meet is complaining of having a cold. The recent sudden change of weather is cause of it all, how ever. Mr. J. M. McDowell, who lias so faith fully served the Abgus as typo foi tl-e past two years, will leave to-night for Madison, Fla., where he will go into the newspaper business.

While “e “orry to see him leave us, we congratulate Madi son, Fla., upon securing such an estima ble gentleman as a citizen. JACKSON, GA., THUSDAY, NOVEMBER L 1894. ggggg Men’s Suits 250 worth $4 50.

The evidence is all in and there has nothing sensational developed—nothing at all to even as much as indicate any change in the result of the election. Sev en 1 democrats and a greater number of populists have been sworn, but not even the most sanguine- populist white man can be persuaded to swear that the re moval of tlieir complaints would have elected Mr. McMicbial. It must be re“ membered that the “pops” are attacking democrats, and that therefore the former is having no exposures made on them. There has been a few minor things proven on individual members of the party, that is discreditable to said individuals and no honor to the party, though the party could not prevent it. The managers have been exlionorated and all the little things, which cou’d have been done bet ter without, was done by strikers arouud rather than at the polls. Judge Carmi chael voiced the sentiments of the rank and file of both parties when lie exclaimed “Let the sunlight of heaven iu, I am not afraid for it to shine on October the 3rd, 1894 ” There is an old adage which says, “It is an ill wind that blows good to no body.” But if any good is to come from this contest it will he to make candidates more discreet iu the selection of those who are expected to look after their in terest at the polls, for it cannot be denied that a mau must have someone to catch his part of the floaters to be successful nowadays. Everybody in this Christian land is in favor of a free ballot and a fair count, for it is better, yea, far better for not only the democratic party to die but even for the government itself to become non existent than to he upheld by fraud. There is no questioning this fact, that the populists are in existence and the only way to dispose of them is to out vote them, by advocating such measures as will make them ashamed that they ever opposed the regular democracy. There is no move which can be success fully combated by doubtful methods, which has assumed the proportions of populist. Give them what they say they want, a fair election; throw out all de faulters, and they are beaten. Cols. Ray & Ray represent the contest ants, and Cols. J. F. Carmichael, M. M. Mills and F. Z. Curry for ihe defense. J. M. Maddux, J. F., is presiding and seems to he an impartial judge, iu fact, uo oue can tell from his rulings whether he is a populist or democrat, for we have been watching him and do uot know his politics yet. ‘‘Sam Slick,” alias John Shepherd, seems to think that the drink he got was nor of a very good quality nor of a satis factory quantity. If any other than him self got any “licker” they don’t seem to remember it. Several very amusing incidents have occurred during the tedious proceedings, but when viewed from its true status jList what you want, and the price is right. IJnlaundred Shirts 500 worth 75.

Mr. C. W, Buchanan visited Macon yesterday and returned home this morn ing. A crowd of young men and young la dies from Jackson had arranged to go down to Macou on Tuesday night to see the Last Days of Pompeii, but being una ble to secure hotel accommodations their triii was frustrated. Col. M. Y. McKibhen attended court at McDonough on Tuesday of this week. He had several eases on the docket which were carried over until next term. This is the last issue of the Argus before the congressional election, and we have and now make this last appeal to every democrat in Butts county to come out and work and vote for the nominee of the party.

Every week adds new names ! to the roll. We are sorry however that one of the best departments of the school is not better prtronized. We refer to the Art Department. Mr. Lewis is a gentleman of superior ability and those who would like to devote time and* study to art, can never hope to liaye better ad vantages at home than are offered now. Indeed, these advantages will not last long unless there is a marked increase in the unmber of pupils. Only the hope of arousing interest in art, together with the expressed intention of a good many to take lessons, induced Mr. Lewis to accept the place. He will leave us at the end of this term unless these hopes and intentions take a more definite and tan gible form yery soon.

Several days ago this sad eyent hap pened, and in commenting on the article the Macon Evening News has the fol lowing: “KIND JACKSON PEOPLE.” “The Jackson argus says: ‘A lady who gave her name as Williamson and said she was from Cartersyille en route to Macon to see a dying daughter walked from McDonough to Jackson last Friday. The people of our town under the solic itation of Judge Pound made up money and paid her way by rail to Macon, as is always the case, we never let a lady walk from Jackson to Macon.’ Mrs. Williams reached the city three days before her daughter died in East Macon.” Tne above allows what one simple act of kinduess resulted in. The poor wo man, by the aid of the charitable citizens of Jackson, was enabled to reach the death bed of her daughter in time to ad minister a parting blessing. Such gen erous acts of kindness will not go unre warded, for the Bible says: “He that giye*h to the poor lendetli to the Lord.” In Poor Health means so much more than you imagine—serious and fatal diseases result from trifling ailments neglected.
