J|jHE arrival of our large spring stock will drive away the gloom and cheer the hearts of the peo } pie that have sc long wished for the breaking up of a most unusually severe winter.

I | \\ hat’s the use of getting hurt and lying in bed suffering, when McDonald A Kinard can fit you up in accident insurance, and you get from $25 to SSO a week while you are sick. Mr. J. 11. McCallum bought 800 dozen eggs at one lick one day last week, and it was not a good day for eggs, either. Hanes, the Jeweler, is receiving his new stock of Jewelry, Watches, Clocks and Silverware, and Novelties, and the prices are surprisingly low. mar29-2t We regret to state that Mr. Charles Pinckney, the efficient bookkeeper at the bank, is quite sick with u cerated throat. If you have a farm or any kind of land for sale, give it to Harmon A- McDonald, who will advertise it free of charge and only charge you a nominal eost for selling it for you. When you call at Dr. R. G. Bryans’ drug store to get the best peucil in town, ask Dr. Tom Buttrill to show you his new baby. Better carry that Watch of yours that is not performing satisfactory to Hanes and have it cleaned.

Echo answers, what! i The Oil Mill will pay 40 cents per hundred for Cotton Seed, if they are dry and sound. 1 mar2-4t Meade Hendricks. JACKSON, GA„ FPIDAY. MARCH 29, 1895. Earnestitess is the. key to success. Ob stacles to a careless or indifferent man, are incentives and actual help to a man in earnest. Call at the Oil Mill and get 40 cents for your Cotton Seed. mar29-4t Meade Hendricks. The square is being covered with the Woods’ machinery which will be sold on the first Tuesday in April. All gin ners should be here to buy. Cotton Seed wanted at the Oil Mill at 40 cents per hundred. mar29-4t Meade Hendricks. Vegetation is slowly butsurely making its debut. You bad as well plant your salt and sow your gingercakeseed before at after the rain. Jackson has the prettiest girls in the civilized world, and though we doubt the propriety of their doing so, they dress finer than any set of girls in Georgia. W e want all the Cotton Seed there is in this county at the Oil Mill. Bring them on before the 10th of May and we will give you 40 cents per hundred for them. mar29-4t Meade Hendricks. We are frightened nearly to death at every mail now, because of continual fear that we w-ill receive some poems “On Spring,” ‘‘On Flowers,” ‘‘On Birds,” etc. Corn, wheat, potatoes, syrup, peas, and fruits, are the things to live on, and the things we will need at home. Cotton is uo account at all when it brings no price, The only mau who never cut up the wrong stalk of corn or cotton, is the one who never hoed any, and the man who never makes any mistakes, is the one who never does anything. The farmers an making good use of this weather in preparing their ground for seeds. If we cau get a few- more days clear weather we will have an immense corn crop in the ground. One thing we farmers had better look out for, aud that is this: If we don’t get our cotton planted time enough to come up before the dry spell in May. we may not get a stand until about July. Our people feel like they are badly treated by Uncle Sam in regard to mails. Our office pays something like SSOO a year, and still we are treated as a way station so far as mails are concerned. Now is the most important time of the year with the farmers. A good start is half the battle. The shape or “pitch” you give your crop now is what you will have to work to all the year, and we should besuie to start right and then we can hope to end right. THE NEW YORK STORE Messrs. R. S. Brown of the New York store, R. L. Daughtry of Star store, J. L. Yopp of the Globe store, and F. S. Etheridge of the Jackson Bank, have returned from their visit to New York. Mr. Bob Lyons killed a white owl last week and it measured 40 inches from tip to tip. Its eyes were the color of gold and its body as white as snow. If any thing curious eomes this way our Bob is sure to get it. Mr. F. J. Barnes of Worthville, came to Jackson Wednesday with his bride, Miss Works, of Alabama. We eongrat ulate Festus in his choice, for he cer tainly has selected a beautiful and no donbt amiable life companion. The Georgia State Building and Loan Asso ciation has $20,000 to loan on FARM or CITY PROPERTY in Butts county. They have already placed $2,700 here through their agent, J. G. McDonald. Call and see him. If your security is all right, you can get the money. Tom Cole, our drayman, was farming last Wedsesday, and his large horse, weighing 1,100 pounds, fell into an old well twenty-five feet deep—plow stock, gear and all. Luckily the horse was drawu out without a scratch, and went to plowiug as if uothiug had happened. There are many kinds of culture, very important in this world and very essen tial to the happiness of the race, but the most important culture is—agriculture. There are also many kinds of money, all of them quite useful, but the very best and most essential kind for the ’pei pet uation of our species and for society, is —matrimony. 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. The Police Gazette pedestrian, Fred Miller, and his fine English pointer, Roger, reached Jackson Monday night. Miller is walking for a wager from New York to Florida and return. Mr. G. S. Hanes gave him his supper, and he ate breakfast at the Cleveland hotel. He and his dog were in good trim and will makj the trip in due season. Two or three men like Messrs. Stewart and Pullen, of McDonough, can build a cotton factory. These gentlemen are arraugiug to build a factory in or near McDonough. Now we have some men who could save Jackson from a long sleep by building a factory here. Mc- Donough is right to secure a factory now, and Jackson cannot afford to do without one. Do our capitalists want a factory and a liye town ? If o, build it and build it now. Dress Goods Dep’t.

Ask Uncle Alex. Wilkinson and Mr. Joe Weaverif Winaut has got back from Atlanta. There is another Hamilton at the Racket Store. She came one night last week aud looks just like her papa. We are the only real estate agents in Jackson, aud you will do well to let us know if you ivant to buy or sell prop erty. Harmon & McDonald, Mr.D. J. Thaxton has bought the in terest of his partner, Mr. Peacock, in the Dublin Courier, and will run it all to himself in future. We are glad to see Mr. Thaxton prospering in his new field. Judge J. W. Darkness planted his Irish potatoes the other day on the same spot of ground where he has planted them for 45 years. He never has failed to make a crop aud has never used any kind of fertilizer except oak leaves as a mulch. It makes better potatoes now than it did 40 years ago. It is the duty of postmasters to infornf publishers when papers are not taken from the office. We liaye had several ] papers to go on too long on account of the negligence of the office, especially at Stark. The postmasters at Jackson, Jenkiusburg, Elgin and Towaliga are careful about the matter, and we return them our sincere thanks. Master Gordon Thompson, the eight year old son of Mr. H. H. Thompson, stepped in at Hants’ the other day and paid twenty dollars for a good watch. Gordon paid this sum from his own say ings, which he has laid aside from time to time since his infancy. Often he could add only one cent at a tima, but his persistent economy has amounted to a splendid watch at the tender age of eight. His commendable example could be followed by any youth with the same results, in fact, in the language of Mr. Joel B. Watkins: “Any man will get rich who saves ten per cent of his earn ings-” Col. Y. A. Wright made one of the best speeches of his life on Saturday, when the railroad authorities weie trying to bind ovei Caesar Banks, he having been accused of wrecking a train. Colonel Wright knew Caesar, and knew he was the last negro in this section who would do such a thing, and hence his eloquence in the negro’s behalf. Caesar was set free, and the whole town felt it was the thing to do, and Col. Wright was the recipient of congratulations from every quarter. Jackson feels so incensed at the idea of a wrecker in liei* midst (if there is one), that it would be bard to keep from using violence should one be found guilty of this crime here. v R. S. BROWN.

She was one among the best of our true hearted southern women and a consistent member of the church. She leaves a devoted hnsband to mourn her loss, whose pleasure it has been to provide for and secure the happiness of ,bis good wife, and while she left a home always provided with everything to make a home loyely and pleasant, she goes to a better one in heaven. She leaves Ossie, Flora and three younger children to live without her motherly care and protection. The children, hus baud and relatives have our sympathy. She was the daughter of Mr. M.L. Harris, of Jenkinsburg, one of the pioneer families of this section of the country. — Death of 511 ms Tranquil Jinks. Miss Jinks died, Sunday, near Jenkins burg, where she had lived all her life, or since the death of her parents, which occurred when she was quite young' She had many friends in her community and not an enemy that we know of. She leaves several brotlieis, to mourn her death, all of whom are grown and mar ried. There is a strange coincidence in her death and that of Mrs. J. W. Childs. They lived not a mile apart, both died of consumption about the same time, and both were buried at Bersheeba church. They were good friends but not related. The Institute. The public entertainment at Jackson Institute every fourth Friday afternoon, is a treat to those who attend. The man ner and perfpet demeanor of our child ren in their recitations should convince us that their training has been placed in not only competent, but ve.y careful as | well as superior guiths. The public may ' not think about it in this light, but when an entertainment is provided for the public they should oe sure to enjoy it. Asa matter of fact the children don’t lose anything by your not attending, but you do. The children are trained whether you go to see about it or not, but it would be very encouraging for you to go and you should do so. THE DISCOVERY SAVED HIS DIFE. Mr. G. Cailloutte, druggist, Beaversville, 111., says: “To Dr. King’s New Discovery I owe my life. Was taken with La Grippe and tried all the physicians for miles about, but of no avail and was given up and told I could not live Having Dr. King’s New Discovery in my store ( I sent for a bottle and began its use, and from > the first dose began to get better, and after using three bottles was up and about again.

Oliver, who is 72 years old, is preaching a series of sermons at the Baptist church. He is an uneducated man, but has great power as a preacher, and those who contend that a call to preach is all that is necessary, have some good grounds for that argument in him. For though he is unlettered, he possesses a power that is peculiar. He can hold an intelligent congregation an hour and no one seems to get wearied in listening to tliatgoodand earnest old man. Weliope there may be a great revival in Jackson, and that we may experience some old time religion with our good old time preacher. For Seed Sweet Potatoes call at K. G.
