The pleasing countenance of Miss Puss
Patterson, one of Butts county’s most in

In other words, Miss Puss. Patterson

Mr. T. L. Williams, our treasurer, re
marked the other day, after reading
some sensational writer said about the
surplus, that he had no right to loan
Butts county’s money, He was elected
to keep it safe, and that no one would
lend it or scatter it about until be and
his bondsmen were released.
We liad a pleasant call Monday from
Mr. M. C. McDonald, of Atlanta, our
junior’s father, who is nearly 75 years
old, but as genial and spry as a man of
30. He is perhaps the oldest, as well as
one of the best, tobacco drummers in
the state.
We learn that Mr. Lattig made a
splendid real estate deal last week. lie

seven thousand dollars. He also sold
Mr, Thornton a farm near town for a

but are glad to have his successor.
Judge Beck did a wise thing in contin

though a little the worse for wear.”

THE
NEW
YORK
STORE
Col. T. J. Dempsey, the efficient super
intendent of the Methodist Sunday school
has inaugurated anew innovation by con
ducting the Sabbath school on parliamen
tary rules. -TNow if he will go a step fur
ther and fine all absentees, we will help
form a quorum when the re-election for
officers takes place.
Accident Insurance will pay your doctor's
bill and leave you money in the pocket. If you
don’t have an accident policy you are out all
’round. McDonald A Kinard represent three
of the best companies in the country. They
pay $25 a week while you are sick and can’t
work.
Tlie eouit did some splendid work last
week, disposing of about 30 civil and 30
criminal cases. The grand jury found
about 40 true bills, making ten more
eases than was disposed of. There are
several chaingang men here this week in
search of shackled help, and our boys
will doubtless find regular if not lucra
tive employment for at least twelve
months. The grand jury did not think
this a proper time to build a court house
or repair the old one. They all agree
with the Argus in the statement that
we need anew court house, but they say
everything is so depressed that it would
be unreasonable to build just now.
City Council meeting.
The council met on Wednesday even
ing and did some good work. They re
quest the citizens to move all barb wire
at least ten feet from the streets, and say
if it is not done an ordinance will be pas
sed demanding it.
It cannot be denied that the council
has some musical aspirations, inasmuch
as a committee was appointed to inves
tigate the feasibility of assisting the In
stitute in the formation of a band.
They denounced the well known nui
sance under the court house stairs, and
demand its removal out of inaorporation.
The council memorializes the county
to accept a proposition from a man to
put in two pumps on the court house
square and keep them up for a year for
ten dollars each. The eouncil seems to
be perfectly willing to give the county
its full influence iu the matter.
The hog ordinance was re-emphasized
and ordered to be enforced to the letter,
which we think is the best ordinance
council ever passed.
The council also agreed to let our chief
marshal off to attend the convention of
marshals, provided he would have some
one in his place who could do the work
as well as himself, and pay his own ex
penses while he is gone. We think the
council was very liberal with Mr. Holi
field by not charging him “boot” in
the matter.

WATCH THIS SPACE FROM NOW ON!
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 has 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 m 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, quality 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. We are going to keep you well informed of the arrival of our Spiing StocK.
Georgia. Baptist Convention.
This body meets at Waycross, April 9,
1895. Of course the preachers will all
go, and many laymen ought to attend.
Iu this convention there is no distinction
made between these classes, but all
stand on the same footing, It is to be
hoped that there will be a large delega
tion from Butts county. We are not ad
vised as to rates, but we know that the
liberal policy of the Southern will cause
them to make reasonable terms. We
hope to be advised in due time what the
fare will be, and will give our readers
the benefit of tlie same,
The Hour for Preaching.
At the suggestion of the pastor, the
superintendent of the Jackson Baptist
Sunday school asked the children to
bring a nickle each to Sunday school for
the purpose of buying a clock for the
church. The result is, a handsome 30-
day clock adorns the wall of the church
—most useful as well as ornamental.
The bell will always be rung by the time
which the clock keeps, and no one will
have any excuse for being late. When
you hear the Baptist bell ring, look at
your time and know that in 30 minutes
from that time the services will begin,
whether you are on hand or not. But
you ought to be there before they do
begin.
Southern Eaptiot Convention.
The Southern Baptist Convention
meets in Washington, D. C., in May, and
it is not too early for our Baptist friends
to begin to look ahead and prepare for
the trip. Thousands go every year to
this great convention, and tlie attend
ance ought to be larger than ever this
year. Everybody ought to see the Cap
itol of this nation, which General Grant,
who saw all the great cities of the world,
declared to be the most beautiful city in
the world. There is much to be seen
there which will greatly enlarge and
broaden one. It is worth months spent
in school to be able to spend a week in
Washington.
It is probable that the Southern will
give not only delegates, but all who may
wish to go at that time, whether Bap
tists or not, one fare for the round trip,
which is $18.50 from Jackson. There
are many people in and around Jackson
who ought to take in Washington at that
time. Mr. W. H. Taylor, the district
passenger agent for the Southern, will
take all who go through in fine shape.

The Candy Party.
The Juvenile Society was given a
candy pulling by the president, Mrs. R.
L. Daughtry, on Saturday evening at her
beautiful residence. The Misses Daugh
try, Irene and Bessie, and Clifford, as
well as little Master Kay, have been so
carefully trained by their queenly
mother, that they entertained the JO or
40 young people who attended the re
ception in a way to make it a real gala
day. Miss Mary Duke was on hand to
superintend the process of chauging the
form of sacehariue so as to form what is
known among little folk and very old
people as simply “candy,” and she
proved to be equal to the emergency and
delighted the hearts of the little folks
with little plates well filled with sweet
candy well pulled.
Mrs. Daughtry turned the meeting
into good effect by giving each one some
little domestic work to perform. She is
the right lady in the right place. The
whole affair was a success in every sense
of the word.
EAST JACKSON LOCALS.
We all rejoice and give thanks that we
are yet spared and permitted to enjoy
the blessings of lieayen. lam proud of
our country for many reasons, and one
is because it is called a Christian land
and a land of Bibles; and I honestly be
lieve it would be better if some of us
would read our Bibles more and not de
pend on our good preachers to do all the
reading. By so doing we could improve
our good country.
I had the pleasure of visiting Jenkins
burg a few days ago, and after a few
hours bird hunting with Mr. Jenkins, J.
E. King and others, we went over to Mr.
Jeff Coker’s, where we were cordially
invited to eat a turkey dinner. This was
prepared by the dainty hands of Mrs.
Coker, and such a feast is seldom equaled
anywhere. Bro. Coker may expect us
again.
Mrs. Jessie Mays of Flovilla visited
her daughter in East Jackson this week.
Mr. Henry Hencely is a hustler; he is
a bright merchant and a peg driver,
too, but he can come as near cutting
beefsteak out of the right place as any
body.
Bro. Luther Plunket has returned
home. You may look out for Luther;
he is going into business of some kind.
Bro. Charley Beauchamp has been
home again, and reports a good time at
Oxford. We are all glad to see Charles.

COMMUNICATION.
Oxford, Ga ~ March 13,1895.
Editors Argus :
In your last issue you published an article in
which the writer endeavored to place the mem
bers of the late Jackson cornet band in a wrong
light before the public. As manager of that
organization, it is but right that I shouid cor
rect the erroneous statements which have been
made, leaving the citizens of Jackson to judge
for themselves whether the members of the
band should continue to keep the instruments
or not.
We organized with eleven members, each
paying five dollars initiation fee. Our instru
ments cost $145; of this amount the citizens
very graciously contributed S9O (much less
$200). We transformed the public square into
a thing of beauty, so that where once the cattle
grazed and the little children were lost in the
interminable wilderness of weeds and thick
undergrowth, we had a park beautifully laid
out in flower beds and walks. This was gup
plied with rustic seats to accommodate those
who wished to spend a pleasant evening after
the day’s work. The city fathers have failed
to carry out the contract to keep up the park,
and with sorrow and sadness we see it once
more returning to its former dilapidated con
dition.
In June of 1891 the students of Emory College
requested us to furnish music at the com
mencement exercises, at the rate of SSO per day,
for five days, which offer we did not accept,
because out of gratitude to the citizens of Jack
son we felt that it was our duty as well as
pleasure to furnish music at the commence
ment of our own Institute. When we disbanded
our books showed that it had cost each mem
ber $75 to keep up this organization.
Should the young men of the Institute organ
ize a band, we will let them have several in
struments free of charge. What more could be
demanded of us ? Respectfully,
Ciias. O. Beauchamp.
