An exchange gives the following advice:
“There is no use losing sleep from a bone fel
on. Wrap a cloth loosely around the felon,
leaving the end open. Pour gun-powder in
the end and shake it down until the end is
covered, then keep it wet with camphor. In
two hours the pain will be relieved, and a per
fect cure will follow.” Yes, and if you shake
the gun-powder down and touch a lighted
match to it, the bone felon will disappear.

“Out in Oregon,” said a man from that state,
“the air is so clear that you can see the peak of
Mount Shasta, in California, from the peak of
Mount Hood, in Oregon, a distance of 279
miles.” That’s all right, brother, we can see
further than that right here in Jackson. The
moon is 240,000 miles away, but every clear
night we can stand on the ground and see it.
At 11: 15 o'clock Tuesday night last, a Jjril

cade. We hereby petition council to hire the
meteor, and fire the lamps.
We clip the following complimentary notice
of Judge Beck from the columns of the Colum
bus Ledger: “Judge Beck, who is presiding in
Muscogee Superior court during the present
week, is one of the brainiest and most popular
of that galaxy of Georgia’s young men wlio are
tilling high places with ability and credit.
The business-like manner in which he dis
patches the business of the court was a sub
ject of remark yesterday, before the court had
been in session an hour.”
A number of subscribers have
promised to pay their subscription
when in attendance upon the court
next week. Brother, don’t forget to
comply with your promise. And we
hope a great many, who have not
promised to pay us will do so.
Notwithstanding the exceedingly inclement

We learn that council has put the deputy
marshal's salary up to the chiefs. That is
right; he has as much to do and expected to do
it as well as his superior officer. Mr. Moore
makes as good a marshal as he does everything
else. Beauregard is a gentleman and is reli
able in any place. But Marshal Marshall
Mayo would still have been in Jackson, but for
the temporary reduction in salary. However,
everything works for the best, as Mayo, who is
now a citizen of Atlanta, will soon be on the
force there, where he will make S6O a month.
We cordially commend him to the people of
Atlanta.

THE “DO WITHOUT” WEEK.
The authorities of the M. E. Church South
have called upon the members to observe what
is called a “Do Without Week” for the benefit
of the missions of said church. By this is
meant that each member denies himself, or
voluntarily does without, for a week some
item of daily expense, the proceeds of which
he gives to the cause of missions over and
above his regular contributions to that inter
est. The following is the program for that
week, which is published for the information
of Methodists:
PROGRAM FOR THE “DO WITHOUT” WEEk.
Monday, March 4.—Prayer and Thanksgiving
for fifty years of Divine blessing on our Mis
sions. “Behold what God hath wrought!”
i Num. xxiii, 23.
Tuesday, March s.—Prayer for the coming of
the Holy Ghost upon the home church.— Luke
xxiv, 49.; Acts i, 8; i, 2-4.
Wednesday, March 6.—Prayer for increase of
Missionary Thought, Prayer and Liberality.—
Matt, xxviii, 18-20; ix, 38; Mai. iii, io.
Thursday. March 7.—Prayer for China and
Japan that their present struggle may be made
of God a preparation for gospel conquest.
Joel, ii, 2.

Last Sunday night, in one of the churches,
several young men. all church members, sat in
the back part of the church and talked and
wrote notes during the whole service, being
especially busy while the man of God was
preaching a very earnest sermon. If professed
Christians have so little respect for the wor
ship of God. what must be expected of those
who make ho no profession? These are “nice"
young men and we are charitable enough to
attribute it to thoughtlessness, but it is con
duct which deserves the severest reproof.
They ought to l>e ashamed of themselves and
confess their sin to the church and repent of it
and never again l>e guilty of such conduct.

It has been currently reported that one of
our esteemed citizens took onto himself a cum
bersome “jag” one day recently and had to he
carted home in an ambulance. Now this is
not as it should be. When a man, standing
high in his own estimation, so far forgets him
self as to consume his own “jag” and then
enter into the joys of another's, he should be
blackballed by the inebriate club and labeled
“HOG.” in box ear letters.
The canary bird sheds yellow wings,
The crow's as black as night;
Our street lamps shed no wings a-tall
And dog-gone little light!

a man to tell the truth all the time, we know a

Won’t the Griffin papers join Tom and Jerry
in completing the railroad-from that place to
Jackson? If you will, gentlemen, we will oc
cupy an important seat in the temple of fame.

Jackson has many things to be proud of, to
wit! Her churches, her school, her live busi
ness men, her oil mil, you two editors, Tom
and myself, and other valuable articles too
numerous to mention, but alas and alack she
has a few of those justly despised bipeds
known as “busy-bodys”—men and yeomen,
who, like parasites or vultures, hang on or
around civilized people for what reason his
satanic majesty only knows.
Tom and Jerry are in receipt of the following
pointed letter of inquiry;
Jackson, Ga., February 153, 1895..
Dear Tom & Jerry—lf convenient, I would
V glad for you to tell the readers of your pop
ular column (that’s taffy) why that yawning
hole on the corner north-east of the public
square is not filled up. It is not only unsight
ly, but dangerous. Also, if Butts county is too
poor to have a janitor for her court house?
The Superior court room is not much above a
respectable hog pen.
Your admirer (thanks) and friend,
R. E. Porter.
Dear Porter—lt affords us mutitudinous
joy to answer all interrogatives on so deep a
subject. Tom is of the opinion that the hole
is not filled up because last year’s council
hired hands and built a fence around the hole
on W. E. Harp’s lot on the other corner, and
made him pay for it. So you see our council
can’t fill up two holes in the same year, and
thereby hangs the explanation.
Tommie.
Dearest Port—l af-fill-iate with Tom on the
“hole” business, and will endeavor to en
lighten you on the second query?
No, Butts county is not too poor to have a jan
itor for the court house,but if you had a janitor
then you'd want anew- stove, and we are too
economical to afford so many luxuries.
Then too, a neat and tidy court room would
have no terrors for the prisoners. If the
jurors can stand their “band-box jury room”
for two weeks their hide, is too tough to be
penetrated by a fire, and a janitor would only
add misery to their hitherto pleasant seelings.
Jerry.
The city council should either remove the
hitching posts from off the sidewalk or have
signs printed and tack them on the horses
that kick. We’ve already got “kricks” in our
necks from shying • ’round horses hitched in
store doors.

Scene in Butts Superior court room next
week:
Judge—“ Have you anything to say why sen
tence should not be passed upon you?”
Prisoner—“Well—er—l—no sir.”
Judge—“ You have been convicted of a very
heinous crime and I subject you to the most
horrible punishment allowed me by the code.
Mr. Sheriff, let him be confined in the grand
jury room for two days, and if life is not ex
tinct at the expiration of my sentence compel
him to serve as a petit juror and fare as the
others do for the entire term of court.
Prisoner—“ Judge, the only request I have to
make is that I be given a decent burial.”
