There is no telling when you may be hurt. McDonald & Kinard, Agents. From present appearances the outlook for an abundant crop of rain within the next few weeks is very flattering. If you have a farm or any kind of land for sale, give it to Harmon & McDonald, who will advertise it free of charge and only charge you a nominal cost for selling it for you. You can always tell when a fellow s wife has left home by the position of his upper lip. Look at llarnp Daughtrj s. Jackson will soon have three new law yers in the persons of Messrs B. P. Bailey, T.

He says guano is too high, and he must have lower prices to offer his cus tomers. Wait until he returns and he will give you prices that will astound you. The pleasing countenance of Miss Puss Patterson, one of Butts county’s most in teresting and versatile young ladies, cast a radiance of light upon the bronzed features of our junior on Saturday last. In other words, Miss Puss. Patterson spent last Saturday in Jackson on ashop ping expedition. 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 sold his fruit farm to a Mr. Outhouse for j seven thousand dollars. He also sold Mr, Thornton a farm near town for a good sum. We regret to lose Mr. Lattig but are glad to have his successor. Judge Beck did a wise thing in contin uing the present grand jury for the ad journed term, for the reason that the next jury would have found a true bill against this one for using the following language in their presentments: “We find our court house m good condition, 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. YOD SHOULD KEEP POSTED. 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. Read This Space Each Week. 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. Accident. Accidental. Accidentally. 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. E. J. LEADERS. 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. m Hi wm Gold bonds, gold standard, is equal to saying hard times, low prices, clog ged business, depreciated prices, no new houses, no good roads, no happi ness, nor anything but hard work for no pay.

Price, Luttsville, Mo., writes: “I was afflicted with Sciatic Rheumatism, and had lost the use of one arm and one leg for nine years.
