Etheridge, is a presiding officer our people should be proud of. Of course at the same time there was a due school at the Method ise church, and in the morning at the Presbyterian church. Did 'ou ever think what a wonderful power this International Sunday School work is? At hundreds of thousands of churches throughout the civilized and half-civ ilized world on each Sunday there are millions of people taught the very same -scripture—all have the same verses for a lesson. What a power in the world and what will its culmina tion be! Even though our school should he small, it is a part of a very great system Run vour business on the easb system "tins year! Go to F. Z Curry, Jackson, Ga., who wit. loan you money on improved farm property at S per centm terest. It wil be a great saving to you if you will do this. JEITERSOM-ROSSER. At the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Rosser, on Sunday evening, November 18, Miss Dora Ros ser, of Peeksville and Mr. James Jeffer son, of Snapping Shoals, were united in lie holy bonds of matrimony. We cuow nothing of Mf. Jefferson except that he is a well to do young man. It seems only yesterday when Miss Dora was a dutiful and apt pupil in school, never tardy, uever cross nor troublesome but always ready to recite a well learn? ed lesson. Such girls as Dora are yery scarce in this world and we believe she is just as good since she has grown up to young womanhood. We congratulate Mr. Jefferson in bis choice in selecting a life companion, and we sincerely hope that love and happiness has been se cured by the beautiful young bride. A Finished City. Ye Jacksonian?, is ours a finished city? 19 Jackson large enough ? If not, what are you doing to build it? We, who live in Jackson should be the first to try to build It. Our fanners want I he capitol of the county lo be a great city. Do you ? It Jackson is grown, it will only be a short time until weeds will glow in our flowbr gardens, tor the town that does not progress must retrograde. We must grow or die —work or suffer from gout. It is a fiat of fate from which no human genius can absolve us. We must work or die. It is Jackson’s problem to solve What do we need ? More stores, more warehouses, more livery stables, more newspapers? We think not, that is, not now. We need manufacturing enterprises Our fields are white with cotton, ;et us manufacture it! Mr. f.attig, we learn, says if our will give him the proper encourage ment he wid put up a shoe factory which will employ one hundred hands. We all wear shoes. We can raise such things as tomatoes and tobocco, but we will never try to raise them unless we first get the factories. How about cotton ? Don’t we need oue to manu facture our thousands and thousands of cotton spread over every hill top and selling for only sc, which would giy us 20c. for it ? JEXKIMSBURO. We visited this famous little “City by the Road” and met all the boys in whom we in by-gone days tumbled on the ranch and played marbles. “Mack” Bankston, “Bud” Crumbley, “Jack” Jenkius, “Lushe” Gray, “Bob” Wood ward. “Jim” Mills, “Uncle” Lassetter, “Uncle” Billy, “Sam” Colvin, “Walt” Woodward, “Frank ’ Duffey, Ed Thurston, “Gene” Braunen, and all such familiar cognomens. Last, but not by any meaus least, that is of not less im portance, and by far tne most beautiful trio we saw were Misses Clara Wood ward. Lola Cbilds and Allie Harris. We learned from the last mentioned that the society is in full bloom again, and the program is fine. Of course, there aie other men with funny names, and many pretty girls, but the above are fair samples of the nobility of Jenkins burg, BUCKLEN S arnica salve The Res’*' Salve in the world tor Cuts, MO Ulcer,, Ml ver Sores, Tetter, Chapped Hands, Ctul blunt, Corns, and all SUin£m,<,ona and potitiTelycuresPilea,. or 0 Uiß guaranteed to give perfect or money refunded.

Bell in attending the an nual conference last Suuday left tlieir churches without a pastor for that day. Rev. Alex Atkinson preached at the Baptist church to a full house, composed of both churches. Mr. Atkinson lias a reputation as a powerful preacher, and he more than sustained himself on that occasion. His sermon went direct to the hearts of the people, and many were the complimentary remarks of the de parting congregation. Many had never heard him and expected nothing extra, but many who kn w him expected just what they got—a first-class .gospel ser mon. His eloquence and logic swept the field and many a tear stood forth as a witness of its effect upon the intelli gent congregation. TAX NOTICE LAST ROUND.

ENDORSED AS THE BEST REMEDY August A. Klages, 810 St. Charles street, Baltimore, Maryland, writes: “From my youth I suffered from a pois onous taint in my blood My face and body were continuously affected with eruptions and sores lam now forty two years of age and have been treated in Germany and America, but no rem edy overcame the trouble until I used Botanic Blood Calm. My skin is now clew, sn.O 'th and healthy, and I consid er the poison permanently driven from my blood. I endoise it as the best rem edy.” One dollar per large bottle. For sale by druggists, Jackson is the best c_>tton mar ket in this country. Farmers get more on an average for their cotton than at anyother town in this country. The merchants here sell goods cheaper than any other merchants and anything you want is for sale in Jackson cheaper than the same kind of goods at any other place. The truth is when you get a little more for your cotton and get your goods lor a little less, the common sense of it all is this: it pays and pays like anything to come to Jackson. THAT LITTLE PAXIPHL.ET. We have been handed a copy of a pamphlet published by the Religious Liberty Association, which deals with the subject of religious persecution and claims that within some portions of this country the “Blue Laws” have been re vived, and we are asked for our private opinion of the publication. Well, we will say, first, it is in defense of the “Seventh Day Adventists” and favors that denomination by opposing all others. They are cranks who are hunt ing for something to make them differ ent from other people. They have been told that they would not be asked to work on .Saturday but they must not work on Sunday. To which they an swer that they are commanded to keep the Sabbath day holy. They either for get or ignore the fact that the Scriptures demand us to be subject to the powers that be, and thus, like all other fanatics they take one portion of scripture and denounce all the rest to set up their creed. We hardly think a man will be persecuted in this country for obeying the Holy Bible. A CURIOSITY. One negro whose euphonious cogno men is simply “Bill” and nothing more, and whose small poxy face is peculiar, has turned up at Jenkinsburg and claims to be inspired as much as the apostles were, and he refers to those men of God as the “boys.” The pecu liar part of it is that he cannot read a word, but seems to know the Bible yer batim et literatum. He seems to know every principle taught of holy writ and never read a word of it in his life. We don’t know bow he learned but he certainly knows it, 8,047,000 BAI.ES. The Constitution offered prizes Of various sums and sizes, To guess the cotton crop of ninety four ! -4hit their mailing clerk, Frank Shea Didn’t see it just that way, And the guessers now are very, very sore! CHORUS.— The Constitution’s Frank Shea Has “skedaddled” awea, And where he went he did not sea, But some bright dea He’ll return this wea And deliver those prizes He failed to pea ! But next time they offer prizes, ~ No matter what their size is, We venture they’ll do this if nothing more! Put the mail clerk in a keg, With a chain around each leg, Then nail him down securely to the floor ! Mr. Venable is Right. The people say Venable is right on the insuiance question, except that he don’t go tar enough. The pres nt so called protection ot “the dear people” is all a farce. The boot is on the other foot. The insurance companies get the protection as does the guano deal* era in the law on that subject. All such laws are a species of paternalism, and and • not, nor never was intended to protect the people. These kind of laws get on the stat utes by being lobbied through the legislature by agents of guano and insurance companies, bs usiug a gang of watery-headed men who pretend to represent the people. We are tired of auardians and don’t want any such ptotection in this old Democratic state. Our ref resentatiyes say “the dear people” will be ruined aud so do the lobbyists. They say it will drive guano dealers and insurance compan ies out ot the business. Let it drive, the people don’t care! We can all make guano and make it better and cheaper than that we get. There ate several men in Jacksog who will make the guano our people need. We can start an insurance company right here in Jackson that will not be subject to the tariff association. It does seem that a legislator with common sense could see that the objection to turning all these things over to the people comes from those who are benefitted! We do wish the Constitution with its known ability, would expose all these tricks in the capitol of our State and give old Mr. Cleveland a much needed rest out on Buzzard’s Bay. ALMOST A NEW 'VORK DAILY. That Democatie wonder. The New York Weekly World, has just changed its weekly into a twiee-a-week paper, and you can now get the two papers a week for the same old price—$1.00 a year. We have made arrangements by which we can furnish this paper and the twice a-week New York World all for only $1.75 a year. Here is the opportunity to get your own local paper and The New York World twice every week at xtraordinarily low rates. JACKSON ARGUS. They Said Nay. The august bodv of men who com- pose the general assembly of Georgia is afraid to risk the people to elect judges and solicitors. They think the people are incompetent. No doubt they are forced to this conclusion by looking over their body. There is hardly a smart man in the whole crowd, and seeing what a mistake the people made in selecting their repre sentatives cause these same figure heads to doubt the ability of their constituents. We wager our reputa tion as a seer, that every hoof of them that voted against the bill has com pletely finished his political career. They will all be retired to private life. The people want to select these officers direct, and not by proxy, and the next general assembly will give them the opportunity to do so ! APPLICATION FOR GUARDI ANSHIP GEORGIA —Butts County. T.

Mr. Editor: On tveiy hand we hear the fanners saying: “I will let my land grow up in weeds before I will take any risk in farming next year,” I know some good, honest, hard working white men (as well as colored ones) who have roved the country over in search of a home for next year and can’t get it because they can’t run themselves. Now, I ask all thinking men what is to be the outcome of this condition ? I hope I will not be considered a “calamity howl?r” it I should iutimate that we are on the verge of a crisis. I think we ought to have a mass meeting ot merchants and farmers, landlords and tenants and discuss what is best for us all. Let the merchants in each town call a meeting of their customers of all classes and see if some safe plan cannot be agieed upon by which the people may have a chance to make another crop, pay their debts and adjust themselves to theconditions which surround them. I think every land owner ought to keep just as near as possible all those now on his land one year more, on some term or other, aud maybe by that time the crises will have passed. We have not been disturbed by labor troubles in our section, but if that policy ot allowing the lands to go un cultivated is pursued we may look for dreadful consequences aud that in the near future. There is a duty devolv ing on each and every one of us. Let us meet it like men. No mau can live uuto himself entire ly, and I am near enough to the labor ing man to know he will do bis part, so let us put our heads together aud do the best we can fur him.—Wilson Smith in National Headlight. The above letter rises above party lines and indicates the ‘.ruth, which is this: Our interests in this country are common. Every citizen, white or black, is directly interested in improv ing our country and "bettering oar la borers. The thing to do is to build a cotton factory or two in our county and give our people work. That is the remedy a.id will cost no one a sin gle cent, but on the other hand make a good investment tor capital. Mr. Lattig, of Lanark, 111., agrees to put a snoe factory iu operation here it our citizens will give him the proper en couragement. Rise up, ye sons of the South and redeem your fortune* at home, Build, build! build!! Live right, love your wife and children,, and buy Hart Shoes. 22-4 t Mr. J. M. Goggans has a fine little girl which came to his house on Snnday. Mr. Goggans has our unfeigned compli ments for the reason that this, the third one, came to hand on the birth day of the oldest one. A cotton factory is as much of a neces sity in the South as a stove or syrup mill. Poor folks can build a factory by putting themselves together. One dollar per week from each share will start a cotton factory in Jackson within six months. How easy, yet how indispensable.
