Say, brother, let’s set Jackson on a firm basis by building a cotton factory. Eh? Cos). McKibbin has a very large lamp or a small stove, and we can’t tell which it is. Miss Fannie Blount,colored, hasopened a school for the colored people, on the parsonage lot in Jackson. We have consulted our t-ncylcopedia and can find no reason why W. G. Thompson sliuldn’t get married. Mr. William Webb, who is with the Southern Express Cos., in Atlanta, spent Sunday at home with his parents. Wanted —1000 pounds of Hides. The market price paid at Harp s market, at Dempsey’s old stand, Jackson, Ga. 15-4 t If over-production makes a man poor and under-production makes him pooler, what kind of production should we advo cate? What fools we mortals are! The priuter is in a worse condition than the farmer. The farmer can get five cents for his cotton, but the priutei has no cotton even to get the five cents with. We call attention in this issue to the law card of Col. J. D. Watkins, who has hung out his shingle in our town. Give him a call aud let us start him off with a boom. Butts county has a faithful aud effici ent officer iu the person of Mr. T. L. Williams, her present treasurer. He can always be found at his post ready aud willing to serve the people in Ins official capacity. One of Jackson’s best citizens says, ♦•There is a crown in Hdhveu for Miss Mv'iile Pound as large as the star bedecked cauopy banging over us, for no one can sing as she does unless their heart and soul are iu it.” The colored brethren at the M.

I is reported that W.C. P. Breckenridge aid Ex-Gov. Waite are to go out on a lecturing tour. The people on their pro posed route have our sympathy, Ihen subject will be “Ten Years Am mg Tariff Reformers.” Madeline, if you know your business, now, you will garnishee those gate receipts! See? A white man by the name of Fincher was arrested in Jackson week J Marshal Mayo, after a hot foot race, and landed in jail on the chaige ling mortgaged property. ® r . n champ carried liim over to Friday night and turned him over to the proper authorities. Marshall Leverett, of this district, has been removed from office, aud Col. John D. Harrell, of Bainbridge, has been ap poiifted in his stead. Mr. Leverett lias filled the position of U. S. Marshall of this district for tlie past year, and was removed by Attorney General Oluey for inattention to business, without being allowed a hearing on the charge. The Globe Store has secured tbe ser vices of Mr. J. P, Barnett, formerly book-keeper for Frank E. Block, of At lanta, who will have charge of tlie Books for the C. G. Fennell Cos. during the coming year. Mr. Barnett is a son in-law of our popular townsman and clerk elect, Mr- John O’Rear. We glad ly welcome him as a citizen of Jackson. The Griffin Call says Charlie Bartlett received 49 votes in Africa for Congress. We don’t suppose the telegraphic reports from Greenland, New Zealand and Siberia have yet arrived. He will undoubtedly get a large vote iti each of thege countries, as Charlie is a very popular man. P. S. —Since writing the above we have discovered that Africa is a small precinct in Spaulding county. All the contested election cases before the legislature have been settled. It was demonstrated that there was no gum in the accusations of the “pops'” and the cases were promptly dismissed after a hearing was given the complain ants. Col. T. J. Dempsev will continue to serve the people of Butts iu his usual good style, and before his term of office expires, he will do such efficient work in that capacity that the “pops” will regret ever having made any complaint at all. Mr. Dempsey is the right man iu the right place. Jailor Wells went to Jafrkscn Monday after a negro named Tom Ogletree, who is wanted in this county on a charge of misdemeanor. Tom thought when he got to Butts he was “out of sight. Pike Couuty Journal. The sequel shows that Tom was mis taken, for our efficient officers Beau champ aud Crawford picked him up. It is quite different when a culprit runs from Butts to Pike’s mountains. We never hear of him again any more than we would if he had goue to the jhngles of Africa to sleep with the Bengal tiger. He is “out of sight.” Each member of the Pocahontas Mat rimonial Club has 6 points to his credit. A point consists of a young lady sa>ing “yes.” And as there are 5 single mem bers of the order remaining, it shows very forcibly that that there are a few young ladies left in Jackson who are matrimonially inclined. W. .h.nkSWrn Kinard lost a point Wednesday by put ting his engagement off too long. n Charlie Pinckney gained three pom J going to see tbe same young lady twice r°n. night. It only costa 30c to jotn the club and if you don’t got mained you can’t blame us for it. SALE TOMESDAT, EOT. 29,1894, STATE OF GEORGIA-Butts County.

McKibben is called upon to represent more clients in the courts of Macon and Atlanta than any attorney outside of those two cities. And he is a popular and beloved member of the bar wherever he goes. If Colonel McKibben has an enemy in the State of Georgia he has not yet made his appearance, and a better lawyer and more faithful worker is as hard to find as the man who doesn’t love this honorable gentleman. Jackson is ever proud of such men as “Col. Van.” English aw She is Spoquen! There was a young lady from Jackson, Whose hair was a delicate flackson ; She played croquette The livelong dauette, And her parents were auglo-sackson. EXPOSITION NOTES. The sub-committee of the'Committee on Finance of the Georgia legislature’s lower house has recommended, by unani mous vote, the resolution providing for an exhibit at the Cottou States and In ternational Exposition. It is expected that most of the Cotton States will follow Georgia’s example. The Cotton States and International Exposition Company has closed a con tract with Chicago parties for the erec tion a scenic railway. It will have an undulating track and cover 700 feet of space. The same concern had a scenic railway at the Midwinter Exposition in San Francisco and it was one of the most popular features. The department of privileges and con cessions of the Cotton States and Inter national Exposition is one of the busiest. The exclusive concession for the Kineto scope has been awarded to Mr. Beverly W. Warren, Jr., who represents the Kin etoscope Company of Chicago. This wonderful device of Mr. Edison’s inven tion photographs motion, so to speak, and wherever it has been exhibited crowds have thronged the building. President Collier of the Cotton States and International Exposition has written to Postmaster General Bissell, asking that a special Exposition stamp be issued in one, two and five cent denominations. The design suggested is that of a Phoenix, with the date 1865 below and 1895 above. Around the whole is a circle with the words, “Cotton States snd International Exposition, Atlanta,” The design is the coat of arms of Atlanta with the Expo sition around it. Nr.

The Death of Little Julia Smith and Little Ralph Carmichael. T These bright and lovely children were about three and a half years of age, Ralph being one day older. They wers born to parents, who though of no blood relation were bound together by the strongest ties of friendship. Since their birth the names of these children have been closely associated and have been the synonyms for joy and delight in each family. From the time they could know or speak of any one they were taught to know and speak in their childish way of each other. The first photographs taken of the children were exchanged by their parents and when, some time afterwards, little Ralph was-suffering with the measles, feverish, fretting, and would not be quieted by anything else be would take Little Julia’s picture, press it to his bteast and say “My Julia.” After Julia’s death Ralph was loath to speak of her or have her name mentioned. And when little Julia had passed beyond the blessed portals it was only a few days before Uttle Ralph was summoned to dwell also with the glorified spirits of God’s own beautiful children. The ways of Providence are beyond our divining. Let us find consolation in the belief that they are with Jesu, and in the great day His purpose shall be made clqar. They can not come back to the bereaved homes of loving parents, but look up, oh frail mortals! and see that God has made much more glorious things possible to you—you can go to them! God knoweth best and doeth all things well. Since their deaths you may remember more distinctly their little forms; notice with greater pleasure their innocent acts; hear more distinctly their prattling tongues and feel a keen regret that they are not with you now. But may God give you strength to exclaim with Job: “The Lord gave and the Lord taketli away, blessed be the name of the Lord.” A Friend. Tbe Bible. Behold the Book, whose leaves display The truth, the life, the light, the way; The mines of earth, no treasures give, That could this volume buy. In teaching us the way to live, ft learns ns how to die.
