visited our store on our opening

JACKSON, GA., FRIDAY. APRIL 26, 1895.
There seems to be a wave of crime ,
passing ovei this country just now. I
All the papers report an abundance of |
crime, ranging from petty larceny to ■
murder, and greater crimes, for there |
are crimes more brutal and shocking to i
the human sense than even murder. God
save our country from a series of unnec
essary and deplorable crimes.
What's the use of getting hurt and lying in
bed suffering, when McDonald & Kinard can
fit you up in accident insurance, and you get
from $25 to SSO a week while you are sick.
Andrew McClendon, our colored bar
ber, who has a very valuable fruit iarm
near town, and who is a clever observer,
j exhibited some specimen branches of
| kinds of fruit in our office this
week, and made the following remarks:
“There will hardly be any plum crop at
all this year, that is, of the valuable
blue plum variety. We will have a full
crop of apricots and apples. The peach,
crop is in fine condition, and unless
there is some calamity, our peach crop
i will be t.’#e best for years.” Andrew
has a fine vineyard, and thiuks the
grape crop will be one of the best we
have had for years ” It is to be hoped
that we will have a fine fruit crop this
year, for our people certainly need the
money it will biing.
[ 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.

Burglary.
The store of A. G. Hitchins was
broken into Sunday night. One Mallet
Duke was suspicioned and the marshall
J. B. Moore tried to arrest him but the
negro burnt the wind and the mashall
wasn’t in it. Later in the day Clifford
Beauchamp went to McCord’s pond for
the purpose of fishing and saw Mallet
at 'hat place and placed him under arrest
two pistols that' were found on him were
identified by J. P. Ray. He was bound
over by F. Z. Curry on a bond of S3OO.
He was committed to jail to await court
on default of bond.
McDonald & Kinard, Accident In

Arrested, on Suspicion.
Mr. J. H. Land one of our most ener
getic citizens, came in with Bob Lee,
Saturday morning and says Bob is the
man who wrecked the train near Jackson
Some time since, for which Caesar Banks
was held and acquitted.
Col. Wright has been employed by the
road to prosecute the negro. We learn
that there is some very strong evidence
against the accused and he will doubtless
be bound over and may be finally con
victed. There is no good citizen in this
section but who earnestly desires to see
the mystery surrounding this inci
dent, solved.
There is no one who feels his own prop
erty is safe in a country where any other
person’s property is not safe, and worse
still if a man is mean enough to risk the
jives of helpless passengers to vent his
hate, he is indeed dangerous. If Bob or
any other man did it wo all want to know
it and knew it now.
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 & Kinard represent three
of the best companies in the country. They
pay $25 a week while you are sick and can’t
work.

We have noticed that lands, both
for corn and cotton have been well
prepared and that portions of the
crop which has begun to grow is
showing that it pays and pays well to
not only prepare the soil well for the
reason of its subsequent adaption to
the tools we use in cultivation, but for
the benefit of the growing plant which
will grow much better on the same
amount of manure, rain and work,
where the soil is properly prepared.
