We have an idea that the so-called
Protective association has about petered
iu Butts; but you bet the farmers are

We heard a man swear he would leave
the county if there was anew court

have to pay seveu cents in twenty years’
time towards building it.
We learn that Mr. J. D. Aikin, one of
Butts county’s best young farmers, was
married to Miss Clyde Smith, of Monroe
oounty, on the 10th. Rev. J. G. Kimble
performed the ceremony. We congrat
ulate the happy youug people.
An obedience to the simple laws of hygiene
and the use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla will enable
the most delicate man or sickly woman to pass
in ease and safety from the icy atmosphere of
February to the warm, moist days of April. It
is the best of spring medicines.
Mr. J. W. Jones has a fine case of
measles iu full bloom, and the shoes are
all unmended. We learn he is doing
well at this writing, and says he will
leave Butts county if we go to patching
the old court house. Patched breeches
are not as good as new ones.
We presume that the first time, in the
history of this salubrious climate, that
court has ever been postponed on ac
count of bad weather, was the present
instance. Our farmers can proceed to
plant their corn now while the
weather is adjusting itself to the feasi
bility of the court. Gentlemen, put a
haudfull of snow under each hill instead
of guano.
A petition is being circulated in Jack
son to Mr. L. M. Terrel, Supt, Railway
Mail Service, asking him to restore
mails ou trains Nos. 35 and 36, of the
Southern Railway. As it now stands,
Jackson only gets one mail a day each
way, when she should liaye at least two
mails a day each way. We are no longer
away station on this line and should re
ceive the same favors accorded other
places of like population. Sigu the pe
tition and do all you can toward restor
ing the mail trains which were taken off
only a short time since,
There were three very valuable acces

FIRE IN JACKSON.
Mr. B. B. Youman’s residence was
burned Thursday morning about five
o’clock. It was insured for nearly its
value, aud Mr. Yovman’s doesn’t lose
much. It was occupied at the time by
Mr. J. A. Burpee, whose loss was heavy,
in that he had no insurance at all, and
lost alMiis household and kitchen fur
niture, amounting to something like
four hundred dollars. The roof fell in
five minutes after Mrs. Burpee and her
two little children left their bed, with
out even one suit of clothes.
Our people commenced to try aud put
Mr. Burpee in a shape to keep house at

AUNT SARAH vVILKINSON.
There has not been a death in
this town for years more univeisally
regretted than that of “Aunt Sallie.”
Our own people loved her, our country
people regarded her as the most useful
woman in Jackson, and the traveling
public always felt welcome when they
saw her smiling face. At the time of
her death she was 57 years old. She
was born in Bell Buckle Tennessee, but
has beeu in Ge >rgia a great while. She
has been iu the hotel business 18 yeays,
beeu married 26 years, aud has been a
consistent member of the Methodist
church for 30 years. "The bereaved ones,
Uncle ,Alex Wilkinson, the husband and
Mrs. J, W. Jones, the daughter has the
sympathy of the entire country. There
is no one living, who knew “Aunt Sallie”
but who cherishes her memory as a
friend.
Married at the bride’s father’s near
Juliette, Monroe county. Miss Jennie
Hencely and Mr. Geo. W. Thompson.
Rev. R. S, Cliambless officiated. Mr.
Thompson is a worthy man and has
many friends here. We wish them a
prosperous life.

Note —[This column is edited by Tom
arid Jerry, and they intend making it a
special feature of the paper. So if you
see anything iu it that “kinder” hits
you, don’t ask us who wroto it, for we
are not supposed to know.—Eds.]
One of our upper ten who teaches the young
idea how to shoot, proposed to show his dex
terity during the snow to a crowd of young
people on First street, and if they didn't see it,
they were looking the other way when he
“busted” his derby.
• *
* *
Here is a communication from one of our
stalwart citizens, and when he handed it to
Jerry, we saw “blood in his eye,” consequently
we give him all the room he wants in this or
any other column:
Jackson, Ga., Feb. 20,1895.
I>f.ar Tom & Jerry : —Will you please state in
your columns whether or not it is a fact that
the county treasurer’s report never shows any
rent received for rooms in the court house, and
that the county furnishes coal for all occupants
and that the petit jury could have a better
room down stairs, and that all the rooms in the
court house actually belong to the county ?
Yours, Fair Play.
Mr. Fair Play:— Your questions are an
swered in Encyclopedia Britannica, page 201.
Tom & Jerry.
Some farmers cum ter Jackson
Fer ter tend the “Sperior Co-it,"
But the lawyers wasn’t ready,
And the farmers didn’t do it.
You can all stay at home now,
And replant your little oats ;
But you needn’t come to Jackson
To attend our Superior Courts.
'Cause it snowed our courtsies under.
And froze the jailer’s nose;
So you better do your farmin'
While it snows, snows, snows!
’Cause we’ll soon have good weather,
And we’ll let you all know it—
Then you can come ter Jackson
And attend our “Sperior Co-it.”
Tom & Jerry are in possession of some facts
that they had much rather not use in this col
umn, hut common honesty compels them. Here
they are:
An ex-hotel proprietor had in his employ a
young lady whose duty was to carry out slops,
wash towels, and do other work that humili
ated her no little. However, she is an orphan,
and rather than suffer or depend on other peo
ple, pushed aside her liner feelings and bravely
and faithfully drudged for something like two
months at a magnificent(?) salary—s4.oo per
month. This was all bad enough, but the
worst is to follow. After this sinner retired
from the hotel business, by force of circum
stances, he was due the young lady nearly ail of
her wages. This honest debt he has refused
and still refuses to pay. How about it Jaek
sonians ? Tom has suggested a tar bucket and
a defunct goose, and Jerry, like Barkis, is will
ing.
*
* *
Tom, whose great-grandfather on his mam
my's side was a justice of the peace, informs
Jerry that it is against the Code of Georgia and
several other legal documents, to confine white
and black prisoners in the same cell. If this is
a fact, the authorities of Butts county are
guilty of doing just what the law says they
shan’t do. How about it, gentlemen ? Ain’t it
true that you have mixed up niggers and white
men in the jail ? Ain't they now mixed?
His Satanic majesty, the devil, is running
side-shows all over the country during these
hard times. And they are about after this
fashion: A so-called preacher, with a forty
dollar suit on and a belly full of scrambled
eggs, stands up and points his finger over the
heads of several fat, rich deacons or stewards,
at a hungry and naked congregation, with the
corn husks still lodged in their throats, and
shouts: “You must deny yourself!” See?
*

The correspondent of the Looking Glass, in
his, her or its letter last week to that sheet,
asserts in cold blood that “Hon.” J. J. Thorn
ton—our sunny haired Jim—is the president of
a prohibition club. Jim says it makes him sad
and disheartened to see the faithful labor of
years ruined by such libelous statements; and
if that galoot of a correspondent will track him
from Georgiato Tennessee and back, he will
apologize instanter.
TOM & JERRY.
Miss Ermine Harrell of Montgomery,
Ala , ’entered Jackson Institute Monday.
Miss Estelle Harben, to the regret of
our young people, leaves for her home at
Waycross, this week.
If there is anything that Jackson
needs more than anything else, it is a
public dray that will bring stuff from
the depot when it comes.
In our next issue we will publish a
story, entitled “Dropping the Relation
ship,” from the pen of a 15 year-old
pupil of Jackson Institute.
MORRISON HOUSE DOTS.
Paragorically speaking, it is heart
breaking to hear Col. I. W. Johnson sing
“The Girl I Left Behind Me,” down on
Third street.
The Misses Thornton and Jones duets
are great—especially “Sleigh Bells.”
Charles Pinckney and John McDonald
broke out a window glass in their efforts
to sing “Ham Bone.” ,
W. G. Thompson, who resembles Bill
Nye in living pictures, is trying to sing
real hard, but his voice is like that of
Trilby, after she failed to sing on the
stage at Paris —he can't even make a
chord.
Steve Kinard’s coal has come, but his
girl is thinking of going off. So he is in
a bad shape yet.
Bob Etheridge has pruned his whiskers.
“Paw Lattig” is a regular sport. He
sings like a canary bird.

A HOUSEHOLD TREASURE.
D. W. Fuller, of Canajoharie, N. Y., says that
he always keeps Dr. King's New Discovery in
the house and his family has always found the
very best results follow its use; that he would
not he without it if procurable. G. A. Dyke
man, Druggist, Catskill, N. Y., says that Dr.
King’s New Discovery is undoubtedly the best
Cough remedy; that he has used it in his fam
ily for eight years, and it has never failed to
do all that is claimed for it. Why not try a
remedy so long tried and tested. Trial bottles

I now have at my stables 45 head of Horses,

How much a man is like his Shoes!
For instance, both a soul may lose;
Both have been tanned, both are made tight—
By cobblers ; both get left and right
Both need a mate to be complete;
And both are made to go on feet.
They both need healing; oft are sold,
And both in time will turn to mold.
With shoes the last is first; with men
The first shall be last; and when
The shoes wear out they’re mended new ;
When men wear out they’re men dead too!
They botli are tread upon, and both
Will tread on others, nothing loth
Both have their ties, and both incline,
When polished, in the world to shine ;
And both peg out. Now would you choose
To be a man or be his shoes ?
Buy Hart Shoes of us, they are the best
ever sold in Jackson for the money, as hun
