He values it very highly. I tell him if he will take it to the Jackson hank, he can get five cents for it. The Star Store would give him half pound of candy for it.

We are glad <o see Mr. Pitts New ton out. He says he can make as much 5 cent cotton to the square inch as any body. We want the Mayor of Jackson to stop bicycles from running on the side walk at night or give them a schedule While I was getting ray hat, some butler and cheese he left, and I could not apologize. I know he will carry his wheel t ithe shop and from the way I feel now, I think he will have to get anew wheel. Well, as Bill Arp says, everything is calm and serene.

A man who nurses a snake into life is generally bitten by the object of his care. It is hotter for a maddog to starve than to risk giving it bread. A woman who will tell two men in the same day she loves them, is not only dangerous but has gone to straight out lying. The man who thinks ha knows most is generally Mie biggest fool in the com munity. Jim Kinard was in Jackson one day not long since. Any time you want to know whether he is in town or not just step over to the post office and see. Wbat has become of Tom Watson? ' The “pops” down in these “diggins” are getting uneasy about him. Since Black agreed to the holding of another election, it seems Tom has crawled into a hole and stuck sealing wax over the place of entrance. Don’t close your face, To nmy, opeu up again at the same old stan<* and let us hear from you oc casionally. Say, haye you ever been to a prosper ous city and heard the buzz of spindle* in a cotton factory? Put your shoulder to the wheel and help the work.

On being asked if he didn’t want to give an order for several barrels of vine gar, one day recently, Henry Gunn replied to the drummer : “No sir, we get our vinegar ia small quantities, so as to have it fresh all the time.” Gunn has an eye to business, bnt we think he is a little off on “fresh” vinegar. Well, here’s another on the same Henry Gunn: Last Friday a man called with a four gallon jar to get some syrup. Gunn put a funnel in the jar and after pouring the funnel full of syrup would sit down on a craoker box and wait for it to go through—which it required about five minutes to do—the jar had a mouth to it about the size of a wash tub. The store was crowded with customers, and George Thompson asked several times where Gunn was. Presently Billy Potts had to go back in the rear room to get an or der for meat, and he nearly fainted when he found Gunn seated on a cracker box waiting for the syrup to run through the fuunel into the jar. The month of the jar was large enough for him to have poured the syrup out of the barrel into it. Billy took out the funnel, filled the jng and sent Gunn out to roast peanuts.

CARMICHAEL, With S B Kinard- THE COTTON FACTORY. The .Argus has been giving itself most heartily to the building up of Jackson'and Butts county. Every week there are to be seen unmistak*. able evidence of this fact, and especi ally has it shown this in the effort it is now putting forth to arouse our peo ple to the importauce of building a cotton factory at this place. The times are hard and business L waning everywhere, and Jackson, and no other place, will be able to hold its own and make advances, unless new industries are startling up. A cotton factory here means that capital, which is now lying idle, will be put into circulation, and pass into the hands of those wbo need it with which which to buy the necessaries of life. At the same time, this capital will be invested and yield a handsome profit to the stockholders, and also be a benefit to our laboring class. The demand everywhere is fop more money. This isju9t what a factory ftillgheus. It will bring money to us for the cotton manufactured, and this paid out every week by the hun dreds to laborers in the factory, will placa a large amount of money in cir culation. One factory well managed means another and another. This will make Jackson not ouly a better cotton market, but the increase of population which it will give us, will make Jackson a far better mar ket for farm productsof every kind. Not only then should our people in town feel au interest in this move ment, bnt it is one which should con cern every thoughtful citizen in Butts county. Exterpibise.

This being admit ted, is conclusive evidence of the fact, that the present conditions are favorable to the rich, and hard on the poor. The Bible is being literally fulfilled when it says, to him that hath, shall be given, and to him that hath not, shall be taken even that which he hath. A Georgia editor has this on the finan cial question. “They talk about silver— They talk about gold. But give me the greenback, So handy to hold. They may talk about values As much as they will; But there’s comfort and joy In the five-dollar bill. Mr, Strickland, a citizen of Jackson says he can remember in 1837 that the citizens would club together, and let one man buy property that was sold,and give it back to the man who owned it, taking his note for it with no security, except the man’s honor. Those were good old days when we had no home stead laws or dodgiug technicalities, to evade debts. A man’s word was his bond. Have we fallen or is there honor in the old land yet.
