The boys ate so much ’pos sum that they climbed the bed posts all night long, barking like a dog in the meantime. -’Possum dinners don’t agree with some people. Prof. Lewis, art teacher at the Jack • >n Institute, happened to a very pain ful accident one day this week. While cutting on a cracker box, he accidently stuck the blade of a knife in his hand. A man called at the post office one day recently and wanted to pay his box rent. On being told that it was 50c, he turned pale, and remarked: “Great Jerusalem! It’ll take ten pounds of cotton to pay it! Oh me, oh my, oh my, oh me, oh, oh, oh!” and he fell back in the doorway, gasping for breath. Jackson needs a eotton factory! Do you understand that language? Well, it’s plain and outspoken. We need one, and need it bad.

We are pleased to learn that little Bertha Carmichael is now getting along nicely, after a very serious spell of sick ness. She was very sick for awhile and fears were entertained for her recovery, but we are now glad to state that she is l convalescing. It is a noticeable fact that the mer chants who do not advertise in the Argus are the ones who complain most of hard times. The way to knock hard times in the head is to put ft nice, neat “ad” in the Argus. It reaches the people and shows that you are iu busi ness to sell goods, and they will trade with you. Miss Jennie Tisdel, formerly of Jack son, but now of Macon, Ga., was mar ried in that city a few days ago. The Argus extends congratulations to the happy couple, and hopes tlieir troubles may all be little ones. The Macon Telegraph say* the Argus is the newsiest, neatest, and best gotten up weekly paper in Georgia, For all of which we feel deeply grateful, If it wasn’t so far between drinks we’d set ’em up, Brother Allen, but next time you catch us down that way we’ll fix matters all right with you. Dear Sir— lf you will please call arouud to the Argus office and settle that little subscriptiou account you owe us we will be under the most lasting ob ligations to every one of your family, even unto the third and fourth genera tions. We need a little silver to grease the wheels of locomotion, and as our “grease can” is now empty, it could not come at a more favorable time. Will you do it? Jackson is now enjoying a reputation abroad as a hustling town. No place of its size in Georgia has the energetic merchants that compose our town. They advertisi their business, and by so doing they also advertise Jaeksou. The Argus is an “ad” for Jackson when ever it goes. A citizen of Atlanta told us last week that he would like to live iu Jackson. He had seen a copy of the Argus aud was couvinced by its adver tising patronrge that there were very few dead merchants here. You are right, brother, the dead merchants can be counted on the fingers of your left hand. Come down, you can distinguish their places of abode (uot business) by the spider web* interlaced across their front doorways. Isn’t it strange that the people hardly ever have a voice in anything? A bill was introduced in the House on Mon day, makiug the positions of Judges aud Solicitors elective by the people in stead of the legislature, as it now stands. The legislature can now elect these officers, and whether or uot it suits the people of their districts, they have to grin and bear it. The bill was killed without the least trouble, and why? Because some of those chronic office-holders who think they have a deed to the position, desire to remain there for life. They used their influ ence against th. bill for the reaaon that it is much eaaier to manipulate a few agure heads in the legielatnre than to run for office against the combined ef lorts of the whole community. — ——.cvsamjrx. .rci cvi _cvi__£vx _r*i_co co Jo rUS tP> rCV rO) OTHERS MAY TALK ABOUT LOW PRICES, ETC.

Edison, the greatest inventor of the age, which means he is the greatest philospher, says of mankind in this wise: “We don’t know a millionth part of one per cent about anything.” Again, he says: “I find that the conceit of a man is in inverse ratio to the square of his knowledge.” After getting Edison’s analysis of man, we fiud a safe rule to measure by to be this: “The more a man professes to be, the less he is, and yice- versa. The less he tries to show of himself the more of his greatness ap pears.” FOUR BIG SUCCESSES.

Martin Dooley, Esq., one of the clev erest men in the “profesh,” was ar raigned in Atlanta last week, charged with posting up indecent show pictures on the bill boards of Atlauta, by some of her “jimcrack” residents. The trial came up before Judge Calhoun, who, after bearing the evidence, promptly dismissed the case, thereby vindica ting Mx*. Dooley, and branding the “quacks” who made the case as a set of geese. Martin Dooley is one of the best, most peacable and law-abiding cit izens of Atlanta, and if those “jim crows” who had him arraigned knew decency and morality one third as well as we do Mr. Dooley, there would have been no need of an airing of public sentiment in the matter. We extend Mr. Dooley our congratulations, while the prosecutors must accept sarcasm in profusion. They deserwe it, foi when a citizen of Atlanta gets so far advanced in the stages of civilization that he ean’t tell the difference be tween a Roman toga and a gentle man’s night shirt we think it time to move all bar-rooms outside the in corporate limits of the town.

Call on him when you want a nice team ot horses. A Std Dtath. Our reader* will be pained to learn ot the death of Mr, F. M. Kinard at his store on Wednesday morning. The coroner, Simon Hard}’, was sum moned and the jury returned the fol lowing verdict : “We, the jury, after hearing the evi dence under oath, find that F. M, Kinard the deceased, came to his death from a pistol shot in his owb hand. T. P. Bell, ioiemsn ; J. G, Colwell, I. B. Carmichael, J. B. Evans, J. M. C. Thaxton, W. A. Mangliam.” There was no evidence as to whether the killing was suicidal or accidental. Mr. Kinard was in easy circumstances and had never hinted his intention If twas suicide. But he had just removed the pistol or was in the act of remov ing it from umter his pillow where it was kopt every night, wheD it fired. Whether he did it on purpose or it was accident*! will never be known. The special trom tlti-s place to the Constitution is very wrong. Tin re could have been n> financial trouble, for the estate of his father had just been 9old for more than thre# times the indetdeduess, besides a 400 acre dower not in the tale. Sale day is next Thursday, not Wednesday. Bring On Your Cotton. It is an indisputable fact that Jack sou is now paying a higher price for cotton than any other town in this sec tion et Georgia. We saw the quota tions from i arious towns surrounding us one day this week, aud Jackson led the string by three-sixteenth of a cent per pound. Our farmers can always bank on getting the top ot the market for their cotton w hen brought to Jack son, as she has some expert cotton buyers who have made this business a life study, and all of whom would rather lose money themselves than to swindle the poor tanner out of one single cent. Nothing is made by hold ing cotton for a|ise in the market, as it is bound to lose weight and the farmer is running risk of its getting burned up. The market is now and has been for the past month on a standstill at about 5 and 5)4 cents. So it behooves the farmer to market his cotton as soon as it is ginned, for it he holds it a loss is sure to occur. We have had a fine season lor cotton in the field ajd if a rainy spell should set in the farmer would be greatly dam aged by letting his cotton remain un picked, awaiting a rise of the market. Nobody knows the future, aud we thiuk it by far the sarest plan to get the cotton out of the field as soou as possible, and as soou as it is gotten out the next satest plan is to get rid of it just as quick as you can. Indications do not point to a rise in the market before January or February, aud if a bale of cotton is held back until then, we can see no plausible reasou why it shouldn’t bring about the same price as now after deducting loss iu weight, risk, etc. Our advice to the farmers of Georgia is to market your cotton. And if you are within hearing distance of this appeal, it will save you money to bring it to Jackson.
