THE AKOUB. n* ha it non & j. e;. hcDo\ald, Editors and Publishers. BEST GEORGIA PAPER. SI.OO a YEAR. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Entered in the Post Office at Jackson, Ga. as Second Class mail matter. 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. 1 KUS -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. Cheese factories are being estab lished all over the country. Let's have ou'! f r Jackson. We have good pas tures, plenty of cows, ami ad that is necissaiy to support a factory. 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 ber of friends. 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. Hit I STM AS GAI’ETILS. “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.

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.

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.
