This weather is enough to shoot cupid’s darts into the heart of the most miserly old bachelor, and to make the old maid forget her pet cat. The people are fixing to take charge of this government. It has been run by money shirks long enough in the interest of the creditor class and against the I debtor class. J. B. Guthrie is a little off this week. By this we mean he is sick, but his ap petite remains about the same. His family physician states that he is eating himself to death. The Tyrolean Queen will be presented at Jackson Institute tonight, and some very fine music is in store for all who attend. Come out, and bring the child ren for an evening’s enjoyment.

It was indeed a fine specimen of that, noted breed, aud only in the third degree of consanguinity from a cow which pro duced seven pounds of butter daily. We are again called upon to chrouicle another death near our town this week. Miss Virginia Compton (whose mother died recently), died Suuday.

Sandy is a model for colored men who wish to do well. Messrs. I. W. Johnson and Jack Mc- Donald spent Monday in Atlanta, the guests of Mr. W. W. Lampkin, chief cotton buyer for the Inman Cos. To say that they were royally entertained, doesn’t begin to convey the impression in its full sense. Messrs H. G. Asbury and J. B. Childs were in Jackson Tuesday and report Jenkiusburg all right. We have won dered and wondered if there was not public spirit enough in (hat thriving vil lage to furnish us a few locals each week. But yet, we are wondering. Mr. W. M. Mayo, our former marshal, is now in Atlanta, and we learn he is smiling considerably because the baby can laugh and is not more than three weeks old. We congratulate him on the addition to his fam.ly, and hope it may be mayor or mayoress, as the case may be, ere many fleeting years. Chickens are scarce in this yille and we are getting anxious to hear them chirping, chirping—sweetly growing; while their parents are scratching, scratching—loudly crowing. N. B.—This is not intended as a substitute for spring poetry. We don’t need a substitute nor tbe other either, if you will pardon our audacity.

Next Sunday is Easter, and it will do more for Christianity if you would wear your old hat to church and give $lO to the heathens, than it would for you prance down the afele with the SIO.OO hat on your head, and the only thing the poor heathen gets is your wishes for a happy Christmas and aud a happy new year. Miss Myrtice Peavy, a very charming and accomplished young lady, and sister of Mrs. O. H. Cantrell, has accepted a position with the Globe store, where she will be pleased to cater to the wants of the trading public. Her manyTricnds are cordially invited to call and see her when anything in the dry goods line is needed. Corn will soon peep Ihrougli ground now, and the plow boy will whistle at the setting sun, while the whippoorwill an swers from the marsh near by. Not many suspect tbe importance of the furrows he is running, and little thinks he that should all who doing as he is, stop, the opportunities for the world to live would be cut off. “Say, brother, give me a few dollars for the Lord, you will never miss it.” “What do you mean, sir—that the Lord owes you and can’t pay you, and you want me to pay for him; or that yo want to give the money to the Lord?” “My brother, I want to give the money to the Lord.” “Yes, I see now. Well, I expect I will see him before you do, aud I will hand it to him in person.” Mr. Joe Wright is having a room fin ished up at his residence in a style that is magnificent in the first degree. He may be fixing to cage a bird. In this counecti >n we will mention the fact that you had better walk light around the Star store and raise your hat to every one you meet, for you can’t tell wh ch one it is, and you may get into trouble. Miss Holtzclaw, a beautiful and accom plished young lady of Atlanta, has been secured by the Star store and will pre side over tht ir millinery department this season. Miss Holtzclaw comes to Jackson bearing the highest recommend ations as an artistic trimmer, and thor oughly versed in every branch of the millineiy business.

Thompson Bros, decorated their show window with a real live “coon” of the “Aferkin persuasion” one day last week, aud it served as a source ®f great amuse ment to the onlookers. His lips were painted a gaudy vermilion hue, aud he was otherwise decorated in a most be coming style, impressing the public with the fact that the hosiery surrounding his “coonship” was of a “fast black” order in the truest sense of the word. Rev. T. J. Taylor, of Warrenton, N. C , will preach a series of sermons at the Baptist church, commencing Sunday. The pastor, Dr. Gardner, believes the church will be greatly benefited by this distinguished divine’s visit to our town. We hope all our people will go out and hear him. The good people of Jackson of g.ll denominations are looking forward to a revival in all the churches, and it is to be hoped-their prayers will be lealized and much good accomplished. Mr. J. A. Fouche, editor of the Henry County Weekly, accompanied by bis charming wife and son, were the guests of Mr. *ifnd Mrs. George Thompson, on Tuesday of this week. Mr. Fouche is a gifted newspaper man, and is earning an enyiable reputation as a fluent writer, among us poor, jaded editors of rural istic proclivities. The only thing which puzzles our mind is endeavoring to solve the question: “How on earth he ever succeeded in getting such au admirable lady for a wife;” but such is the case, and as we said before, they were both down here on Tuesday of this week. Tbe opening of the Star Store was a grand success in every sense of the word. The store rooms were arrayed in such a manner as to present a most lovely pic ture, and reflected great credit upon the employees who designed the work. The Star Store can be found in the front rank of mercantile establishments and is drawing trade from adjoining counties to this point. Their milliner has arrived and taken charge of this department, and to say that they will do the millinery bus iness of this section is only half the sen tence. Mr. Daughtry is thoroughly versed in the needs of the people and will see to it that only the best of goods are kept at this establishment. Third Street hot for Sale.
