In the office of the Dempsey House is
an heirloom which perhaps is the oldest
of its kind in this county. It is an old
pair of fire tongs, which were made in
1822 by an old colored blacksmith, in
the first blacksmith shop built in Butts
county. The tongs have been in Mr.
Jester's family ever since they left the
anvil, and today are as good as mw.
President Collier, of the Cotton

The services last Sabbath at the Bap

Dr. Gardner’s sermon was one of his
best—clear, forceful, and reflecting the
deep piety and perfect consecration of
this Godly man. After the sermon Miss
M.cKie, the gified director of music in
Jackson lustitute, sang “Rock of Ages.”
As her clear, sweet toues fell upon the
listening ear, the silence of wrapt atten
tion ptrvaded the congregation. The
earnest supplication, “Let me hide
myself in thee,” seemed to strike respon
sive chords, and a holy calm like that
born of a feeling of conscious security
in the shadow of the “rock,” fell upon
i the hearts of all like a benediction.

THE
NEW
YORK'
STORE
We saw a farmer come into town on
Monday and sell four hams of his own
raising to a hotel keeper. Now, we
didn’t watch him, but wish we had, as
we are confident he plodded light off
and purchased a bushel of corn, a gallon
of syrup, and a side of meat with the
money derived from the sale.
The three white tramps who have been
in jail here so long, were represented by
Cols. A. W. Lane of Macon, W. H. Beck
of Griffin, and J. D. Watkinsof Jackson.
They were advised to plead guilty to
larceny from' the house and were allowed
to do so, which saved them several years
in the penitentiary. We learn the boys
will work the roads in Spaulding county.
Judge Hardeman, of Macon, opemd
court for Judge Beck Monday morning.
His charge to the grand jury was a fine
piece of reason beautifully aud corectly
expressed. It was not one of the old
stereotyped charges, but fresh and origi
nal. Among other things he said if he
was to judge Butts county from the ap
pearance of its court house, he would
think it was a small potato with very
few in a hill. If the grand jury is as dili
gent as he adyised them to be, we will
have some true bills towards the last of
the week.
See the Globe Store’s new ad in this
issue. Their Mr. Yopp is now in New
York laying in oue of the handsomest
stocks of goods that will reach Jackson
this season. During his stay north he
will procure the services of Miss N. Lee
Carter, who now occupies the position
of milliner for one of the largest houses
in New York. The Globe Store will
spare no pains in securing the best
goods on the market. Miss Carter will
select the millinery for the store before
she leaves New York, aud our ladies
may surely expect something in the na
ture of a surprise when their immense
stock is opened up.
The students of Jackson Institute
have organized a brass band to be known
as the Jadkson Institute Band. They
have asked the citizens to help them
buy the instruments. This request has
been responded to with liberal con
tributions. They will also ask the town
couucil to help them, and when the
council understands the conditions upon
which the band Is organized, they will
certainly not hesitate to give what as
sistance they can. The band will be
uuder the supervision of the authorities
of the Institute. Jackson Institute
knows nothing but to succeed in what
ever it undertakes, and it is needless to
say that this enterprise will be no excep
tion in its record. Give the boys all the
help and encouragement you can.

Our Mr. Brown Will Leave For
New York and other Eastern Points today to
purchase the Spring stock for the NEW YORK
STORE.— _
On account of our buyer’s long experience in the buying and
selling of high class Merchandise, we can promise our customers
and friends as pretty a stock of Spring Goods as has ever been
our pleasure to show, It lias been our aim always to keep in the
front rank, and always up to date, in securing the newest and
best things for our customers that the market affords, and with
each succeeding year the success, and encouragement we have re
ceived from the people of JacKson. Butts county, and our neigh
boring counties in patronage, enables us to furnish the people with
all lines of goods at the lowest prices, in fact, much lower than
they can be bought in large cities.
In the purchase of this spring’s stocK we are going to endeavor to outstrip all former efforts in
securing the prettiest designs, newest weaves, and the most select patterns in our Dress Goods De
partment, with an eye single to the interest of the people.
Our Millinery Department.
Will be better equipped than ever, in the way of polite and genteel treatment. Mrs. C. R. Gresham
will have charge of this department assisted by a New York lady of refined manners and excep
tional qualifications as a trimmer, having had all the advantages of millinery that can be learned
from having worKed for the largest millinery concerns in New York and Baltimore. Our new
trimmer will buy our stock of millinery before she leaves the East, and we can promise our lady
friends that for style, equality and prices, we cannot be excelled anywhere. Our trade demands the
very latest styles, the best qualities, and the lowest prices, and we are in a position to accede to
their demands. We promise you that we will leave nothing undone to merit your patronage and
good will.

And keep posted, IVe are going to keep you well informed of the arrival of our Spiing StocK.
Jackson liad a dummy engine on her
streets one day this week. It was a
traction engine, howeyev, and didn’t
carry passengers. Jim Crawford and
Lawyer Curry went down to Cork on
Monday to levy on the machine, and as
Frank Z. is an engineer, he was elected
to that position on the first ballot, while
Jim acted as conductor. Crawford dried
all the wells in Flovilla trying to get
water enough to fill the “biler,” and just
as Frank Z. got up enough steam to do
devilment with, the “piston board”
busted, and Jim and Frank had a foot
race to see which could outrun the nut
that flew out of its resting place in the
side of the engine boiler. They were
two days getting the machine three
quarters of a mile, and if a man hadn’t
come along who knew how to run the
engine, the people down near Indian
Spring say it would haye been down near
Macon by this time, as the last they saw
of it Crawford was piling in wood and
Curry was laying tree trunks under the
wheels trying to stop it, for the locomo
tive was going backward at the rate of
four miles an hour. It was sold at pub
lic sale on Tuesday and bought by the
Russell Manufacturing Cos. for $345.
They were the original owners of the
machine before it was sold to W. P,
Woods and O. B. Knowles.
