The patronage we have re ceived and the number of sales of Pattern Hats from this de partment prove beyond contra diction that we have the most stylish, prettiest and popular goods in Jackson. We dislike to make mention of the many compliments passed upon this department by the ladies who visited our store on our opening day, hut self praise seems to he the order of the day, and we say right here that quite a number of people who attended the openings of our competitors tell us frankly that no such style and elegance, coupled with the pop ular low prices marked on our goods, met their vision any where.

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 seliing it for you. Mr. J. L. Barolay made fifteen bales of cotton on seven acres of land last year. So we have been informed by reliable parties. Cotton Seed Hulls $3 per ton in Jackson, $5.50 per ton in Atlanta.

We want all the Cotton Seed there is in this county at the Oil Mill. Bring them on before the 10th of May aud w r e will give you 40 cents per hundred for them. mar29-4t Meade Hendricks. ’Tis rumored that an empty buggy and drowned horse was found at Duke’s mill ou Weduesday morning after the big rain on Tuesday night. The pre sumption is that the driver was drowned, but at this writing we don’t know who it was. Mr. Will Towles, of Flovilla, died of consumption, Thursday morning. Mr. Towles has lived alone since the death of ; his wife several years ago. There was nofa more congenial companion or asso ciate in the laud than Mr. Towles. The friends and relatives have our sympathy. We saw two ferries over the Ocmulgee river withiu a mile and a half of each other, this week, leadiug into Jasper county. The roads leading to both were fresh with wagon tracks, showing that Jasper county people come to Jackson to get their guano, proyisions, etc. We were in a swamp several miles from Jackson last week, aud saw a snake dragging himself lazily around in the sunshine. He, she or it was about four feet long. Our first impulse was to bruize its head, bu* upou reflection we thought the snake was at home agjdowe were intruding. Mr. Ball thought it a good idea to kill it* but our better nature triumphed. We might have felt differ ently if the snake had been smaller. Thomas Peters, Jr., special agent of the Wash ington Life Insurance Cos., is in Jackson. The Washington has a long list of policy holders in this county and Mr. Peters is looking after their Interest. He will establish a permanent agency here, as hC has at all towns of any size. This company has stood the test of years and has made a good record on prompt and fail dealing with the public. The old homestead of Mr. Sam Smith, who once represented this county so ably, is now under the management of his son, Mr. S. K. Smith, aud is in a high state of cultivation. He has a bottom on the Ocmulgee river half a mile wide and two miles long, as level as land can well be. Mr. I. W. Johnson, who represented Mr. S. M. Inman in the cotton market at this place, has returned to his home at Yorkville, S. C. Mr. Johnson made many friends while here, and it is the wish of the farmers as well as his many .friends in town, that he maybe returned to this section again during the next cotton season. Mr. S. C. McCandless is one populist who would be willing for any party to save the country. The majority of them had rather the devil would get the whole business than that it should be saved by any other party than their own, and that too after their own autocratic notions. This of course applies to their leaders, the rank and file of them are honest and deluded men. Dr. Taj-lor, of North Carolina, preached a ser mon last night at the Baptist church that will be among the tilings that live on throughout eternity. Such grand climaxes are seldom if ever reached in this age by speakers. The church has been greatly revived and many careless ones are seriously asking themselves the most important question ever propounded to man: “Where shall I spend eternity?” Dr. Taylor has been a great blessing to our com munity already. Those who fail to hear this orator preach will miss an opportunity that they may well regret. M.J. Penn and his son, Lonnie, were very seriously hurt in Griffin on Tuesday of this week, by fallingffrom the scaffold ing, while scraping paper from the walls of a church in that city which had been recently damaged by fire. Their injuries are very severe, as the fall was about 18 feet, and the benches were directly underneath them. Mr. Penn and his son were former residents of Jackson and theirfriends here wiil be pained to learn of their misfortune. We can’t sell Hulls on a few days time at $3 per ton. We can get more than that for them by shipping. We only let you have them at $3 as an accommodation, and must have the money when you get the Hulls, as we can’t have two or three settlements about a small matter like this. apr!9-2t Meade Hendrick.

Judge Carmichael informs us that lie has 18 applications for pensions under the new law, which is about all there will be in this county. The Judge frankly tells a man if he can’t come under the law and thus saves many un necessary applications, which is veiy commendable and should be done by all the ordinaries. It is a real kindness to the people and saves them trouble for nothing, and they should feel thankful for the information. The merchants and business men of Jackson who send their job work to Macon and Atlanta, should really feel ashamed of themselyes. They get the benefit of our trade, and our efforts are turned in the direction of laboring for their welfare, while theirs is bent in en deavors to tear our prospects to pieces by sending the money they would really get back again off to Macon and Atlanta. That’s one way of killing a newspaper man. We always remember such little pieces of “appreciation” as they indelli bly stamp themselyes upon our memory. The revenue officers ran upon a few gentlemen south of Jackson dividing their whisky. They caught a negro and a Mr. Kimbrough, and we learn Mr. Ed Hoard went down in a day or two to help the-boys out. We have heard it stated several times lately that Uncle Sam would withdraw the revenue de partment from the state if it were not for Butts county’s moonshine procliv ities. We regret so many violations in this respect, and state that the better classes are opposed to the thing. There are few people who know- what a grand scene can be experienced at the mountain rock in our county. That is an immense rock and will bring hun dreds of thousands of dollars to our county some day. Dr. Mays, with his characteristic shrewdness in financial matters, has bought four lots of land in that section in order tcrsecure the entire rqck, which coyers many acres of ground anV is a very fine granite. We learn there is a charter already obtained for a railroad out there, which will be built shortly and tap the Southern near this point. 'M bird Street Lot for Sale. We have one acre of land fronting on Third street for sale. On the lot is a servant’s house, vineyard, orchard and the best well of water in Jackson. We will out the lot into parcels to suit pur chasers. First come, first served. This may be your last cbance to get a lot on Third street—the “Peachtree” of Jack son.

Imperials, and many other up to-date cuts. These goods can he had from us at about the price you pay the shoddy or misfit dealer, and often for less. Dress Goods Dep’t. This department has been so liber ally patronized the past two weeks that we were compelled to duplicate many of the choice things shown in Wool Dress Geods and Silk Waist patterns, etc. We will receive fresh additions this week in Japanese Silks, Plisses, Kai-Kai, Sokoda, and other up to date fabrics for waists. Re member the low prices marked on our goods on our opening days is the key to the situation, and caused tis to duplicate on many lines of goods. We call attention to a communication i from Rey. J. T. Kimbell on the dispen j sary. “Uncle Johnny” is the oldest preacher in the Flint River association, and one of the best men in the world. No doubt but his views meets the appro bation of our people. A large quantity of whisky is sold and given away in our county under our preset)t system, for we ! see drunk men pretty often. It is a question in our mind as to which is best: A large gang of negroes with a jug, or several portable dispensaries, or one great stationary one. However, we are not going to urge anything on this sub ject, at least for the present. Complimentary Resolution. The following resolution was passed by the board of the M. E. church at the last conference, and afterwards by the eliurcli. It is a tribute well merited by the choir, and quite a compliment to its leader, Dr. O. H. Cantrell. We have often admired the sweet music at the Methodist church, without thinking of the effort which had to be made to attain that high standard it has now reached: “Resolved, That we, the board of stewards of the Jackson M. E. Church, take pleasure in complimenting our choir for their zeal in main taining the high efficiency of their singing, being a great auxiliary to our church and help to our pastor We believe that commendation of this resolution is the voice of our church, and as a board of stewards extend to our choir our support and co-operation.” Sunday School ton vent ion. Xhe first quarterly session of the' Butts County Sunday School Convention met at Cedar Rock church according to adjournment, Vice-President O. H. Cantrell presiding. The convention opened with singing, led by Mr. A. M. Pace. After the reading of scripture by the president and prayer by Rev. C.C. Cary, the minutes of last meeting were read and adop ted. The reports from the various schools were ex ceedingly good, showing that Butts county is doing a good Sabbath school work. Bro. C. C. Cary was called upon and made a good sensible talk that will do good for many a day in the future. The next thing was a dinner prepared by the I Cedar Rock ladies, which is a sufficient guar antee that it could not lack anything that was good or abundant. The afternoon session was opened with prayer by Bro. J. M. McMiehael, after which the election of officers was held, with the fol lowing result: President, J. M. McMiehael; vice-president, J. M. Gaston; secretary, J. E. McMiehael; treasurer, O. H. Cantrell; choris ters, J. G. Kimbell and A. M. Pace; marshal. F. 8. Etheridge. On motion the constitution was changed so as to call for only two meetings a year. The reg ular summer celebration will be held in August at the Holiness camp ground. Aftera good talk by Dr. Cantrell, the presi dent elect, J. M. McMiehael, made a good talk on Sunday school work, and the convention adjouxned. It was _a harmonious meeting.
