THE Mitt VL tlt.
This is the third ti.*y ot' the year
189 J. 'l'he publishers of the A nous
wish to express thanks to patrons for
the gratifying support received in the
past, ami trust that during the year
1890 the Argus will con intie ;o de
serve and leeeive a like and incteas
tug support.
It should be timlerslood that it take 4l
money to give our readers such a
paper as the Aim;us lit- striven to
make itself.
The management has been con
stantly put to much expense to give
the people a first cla-s paper and turn
out first class printing work. The
generous patronage received has been
much appreciated. It will he the aim
of the publishers to maintain lor the
ofli : a reputation for square dealing
withal! our patrons and to conduct
business on bus ness principles with
them.
'l’lie Argus wants to square up all
its accounts even with the opening of
the year, and all those indebted to the
office w : ll he asked to please liquidate
and those who can't do so at this time
to give their notes in order that the
books may bo squared for tin* new
year. Those called upon -must
not think they have been singled out:
because this aftack upon our friends
will be general, all along the line.
Thankful for past favors, the Argus
will strive to please both as to the
paper and as to job printing.

-with its sorrows and joys, its dis
appointments and realities, its failures
and triumphs,
happiness, is gone—forever gone. The
work, the progress, nor the happiness of
’94 will suffice for ’95, these we must
consign to the dreamy, half realized past.
Then let us also forget our sorrows and
failures, hatreds and strife, and bury
them forever in the deep abyss known
as the past., and consign them to the
unknown realms of oblivion.
God in mercy pity those millions all
oyer our sunny south, who have toiled a
year, and now find themselves in a worse
condition than when they first began.
God pity every desolate, sorrow stricken
home, and give them courage to battle
with conditions changed and their sev
eral environments more successfully in
1805. If the failure or the cause of it is
attributable to mismanagement at home,
may we all be able to profit by our ex
perience, and not repeat our mistakes,
and if the doctrine of that noble 6on of
the south and statesman, Hon. A. H.
Stephens, is true, that the government
of a country is a germ, the matrix from
which all good or evil flows, and the
fault is in our law makers, then let us
remove them and put iu their places
men better or wiser, that the great
fountain head may be shorn of its evil
tendencies, and our land again beam
foi ith a happy, prosperous, con
tented people. IVe intentionally and
after mature consideration, insert the
word prosperous, for our people with
their southern born ambition and sun
warmed disposition cannot and should
not be happy or contented in this God
favored Eden of the world without pros
perity.
The AKG us, in spite of the hard times,
makes its bow to our mauy subscribers,
who have stood so faithfully by us in the
past, and a thousand times spread the
mantle of charity over our imperfections
and wishes each of you a happy New
Tear. We are better prepared to give
you an all home print, readable paper
this year than last, and will endeavor to
give you all the news, and be more de
serving of your liberal support, should
we live to see it, at the close of 1895.

There is a petition before Gov. At
kinson asking him to pardon Harry
Hill, on the ground that his health is
failing. The petition has been signed
by ten out of the twelve jurors who
found him guilty, besides a large num

HOW SHOCKING!
The uews comes to us from another
Georgia in far oil*Turkey of the cruel
ties those people are practicing on the
Armenians.
When innoeeut children ate taken,
iu the prcseuce of their parents, and
thrown into boiling oil, aud women's
eyes are punched out and men’s arm*
sawed olF: it is time for each civilized
nation to taise an army and go and
sweep the brutes from the face of the
earth. The stars should not be allowed
to shine on such revolting cruelties.
The issue of the Griffin News the
day after the late blizzard has this to
say, which fits our town : “There was
nothing on the streets yesterday but
weather and nothing stirring but the
wind.”
GALA DAY AT ILOVII.LA.
Enjoy a Fine .Vfteetinff an 4
a Bier Banquet.
hast Thursday was a gala day for
the Masons ot Flovilia. Never have
they witnessed a more enjoyable occa
sion or even a finer spread of the good
things of life. After an informal
meeting at the lodge room, where
about twenty ladies were taken 7uto
the relations of Masonry, taking the
degree of Master’s Daughter, the bod',
numbering about one hundred, were
marched to the Flovilia hotel, where
everything was in readiness to satisfy
the hungry crowd. Mr. and Miss
Miller, ably assisted by Mis. Dan
Tharper, had prepared a repast good
enough for the gods. The dining hall
was most stylishly decorated and the
table literally groaned with all the
delicacies of the season.
At night the Flovilia band gave a
fine entertainment at the Academy.
I'he bovs have made wonderful im
provement, and acquitted themselves
beautifully, and had it not been for the
extremely cold night the house would
have been crowded. Ail were well
pleased with the entertain nent and
pronounced it a decided success.

“Dream bells, sweet dream bells are
ringing to day,” the words of Lollie
Belle Wylie’s lovely song come floating
to me like dulcet echoes of the joyous
Christmas-tide, and in fancy we dream
once again of the happy home-coming
of the loved friends of my heart—all
there—save one. The noble father,
the stately mother—queen like and
gentle: the three lovely, loving dark
eyed maidens; the handsome son from
Atlanta. One was absent from this
scene—the - one far away with his
beautiful Michigan bride—but he was
not forgottou, for a tremulous tear
was glistening from each starry eye.
Like some household angei was the
sweet, gracious married sister, and
bright and quaint were the sayings of
her two wee, winsome girlies.
Tuesday was a typical Christmas
day. The holly’s lustrous bough was
entwined with the graceful ivy, odor
ous lilies and waxen hyacinths blos
somed in welcoming sweetness to the
irtCoami ffests at the borne of Judge
E. E. Pound. The Christmas greet
ings were warm hospitable greetings
of “ye olden time ’* This indeed was
a time for peace on earth good will to
men. and each guest seemed ia har
mony with the sweet day so calm.
M iss Myrtle Pound sang as she only
can sing; sang with a lich clear voice
that is attuned to sweetest song. Miss
Elia Pound, home for the holidays,
was the beautiful hostess who dis
tributed charming courtesies with
characteristic graciousness While the
household treasure, Miss Eloise, flitted
hither and thither gladdening the
hearts of all.
At high noon the guests were ush
ered into the dining hall where reposed
the Ulnistmas turkey, cranberries and
every ChiHtmav' delicacy. The table
was artistically adorned; luscious
fruits nestled 'mid roseleaves, while
sweetest violets lent a faint perfume;
the centre-piece and individual mats
were exquisitely embroidered by fair
est hands and sent as an Xmas remind
er from a loving maiden in the Gate
City. Long lingered the guests around
the festal boaid, and the zest with
which each guest refreshed himselt
was tar more eloquent than words.
Among the beautiful Christmas
w
souvenirs displayed on the dainty
tables were: A silver chafing dish
from Mr. Os. Pound and wife; set ot
after dinner cups from Mr. Lamar
Pound, Atlanta ; set of chocolate cup? ,
silver fruit knife; a large revolving
office chair upholstered in morocco
from Mr. Lamar Pound to his father,
and many other elegant gifts.
It was a merry Christmas, and may
many more be experienced by those
who participated in the day's festivi
ties, and may the New Year he crowned
by brightest happiness!
The invited gues's were: Misses
Mamie Ellis, Hattie Buttrill, Pearl
Carmichael, Estelle Carmichael, Flor
rie Lee. Messis. W. Fitzhugh Lee, La
mar Pound, Mcsdames D. N. Car
michael, J 10. Harris, Messrs, D. N.

Beautiful faces are always features
of Hood’s Sarsaparilla Calendars, and
they were never more charming than
they are this season. Hood's Sarsapa
rilla Calendar for 1895 is heart-shaped
and is ornamented with representa
tions of “Summer” aud “Winter.” A
sweet little face which peeps out from
a dainty cap, with the snow flakes fall
ing all about, represents the season of
ice aud snow, while the sunshine of
summer lights up another face at the
lett. The design was made by one of
tlie most gifted water color artists in
the country and the work of the litho
grapher is seemingly \ erfect. Hood's
Calendar, as usual, presents all the
desired information about the lunar
changes and other astronomical events.

Our advice to the people is to go
s’ow and not push their creditors, for
if their propeity is forced to sale it
would not bring anything near its
value. It would tak* all to pay the
cost, and the debt is still unpaid. This
is a trying time, and the country will
be hurt if the people's property is
forced to saie. Let u> trade papers,
swap notes, be lenient, and ail w ; ll

TO THE GALLOUS.
Hill Mjers and Alex. Carr Sen
tenced to Wang.
In the superior court at Atlanta, Ga.,
Thursday, Alex. Carr, the alleged de
mented slayer of Captain King, and
Will Myers, convicted of the almost un
accountable murder of Forest Crowley,
were sentenced to be hanged on Fiiday,
February Blh—on the second Friday of
the second month in the new year.
In the instance of Alex Carr, who has
changed in appearance only for the
worse, the interest was not very mani
fest. It was Myers, the boy murderer,
who drew the attention of the crowd.
Alex Carr, bending forward until his
head rested almost upon his knees, sat.
unmoved and listless throughout the
delivery of the sentence. Not a sign of
mental soundness was to be noticed.
Will Myers, young and handsome, un
broken by the ordeals through which he
has passed, sat upright, looking steadily
at the judge. Sometimes it was a look
that was full of vindictiveness; again it
was that of assumed and
again indicative of sarcasm or scorn.
Not until the very last did Myers show
the least sign of tears, and then they
were not tears of penitence, but rather
shed in sympathy with those of his lov
ing parents, who sat by him during the
sentence, and when the awful doom
was announced by Judge Clark.
