MILLINERY.
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, but self praise seems to be
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 oil our
goods, met their vision any
where.
We learn there will be a joint picnic

We heard a very observing man remark
to-day that it was impossible to make a
half crop of cotton now. For, said he,
with the acreage curtailed and the plant
already tweuty days late, a half crop is
impossible.
Douglas Watson, one of Jackson’s best
boys and a former pupil of Jackson In
stitute, was awarded a commencement
speaker’s place in a contest at the Uni

we are glad to know that he is making
a fine class record.
The Baptist church passed some reso
lutions regarding Rev. J. T. Taylor in
the closing services. We say the chureh
—the community was present also and
given a chance to vote on the resolutions,
and did so. We hope to be able to se
cure a copy of tin resolutions for publi
cation soon.
We call upon our fellow citizens to give us a
share of their ice patronage. We hope to deal
so fairly and to deport ourselves in a way to
meet your approbation. Call and see us at the

Mr. W. M. Mallet is one of the best in

in a short and concise way how it is.
The firm of Gunn, Potts & Cos. is com

Gunn, Potts & Cos. mean to do right and
we are glad our town has them

clever merchants.
Notice the change in the Globe store
ad. this week. By the way, did you ever
think what the Globe signifies ? Gener
ally it means the world, which is a pretty
large affair. Well, this is appropriate
enough in this instance, for the Globe
store does a very large business in this
section. Ail our people know* Mr. C. G.
Fennell, aud when he is managing any
kind of business the thing has to bum,
just like’the Globe store is doing now.
—We learn some parties at Flovilla have
invented a grist mill, which they would
not sell at auy price. They have applied
for a patent and will sell the right when
properly shaped up. One of the leading
features is that the rocks both turn but
in opposite directions. Butts county is
a good one on new inventions. Mr W. I.
Collins invented a cotton distributor
which is worth a hundred thousand dol-
JACKSON, GA., FRIDAY. MAY 3, 1895.
Dr. W. L. Carmichael has treated him
self to a very fine soda fount. It is in
deed a maguificent affair and it seems
that the great variety of drinks furnished
by it is better on account of its
clean and imposing appearance. Our
people will greatly appreciate this nice
arrangement for their comfort and
health. Dr. Carmichael never half does
anything. “Cliff” can make you a nice
drink as quick as any one can in town.
The hardest task for a teacher to per
form is to control himself. Whenever
he whips too much or to® hard he needs
a restraining influence thrown around
him, for he is not only injuring his own
reputation as a suitable man to control
youths, but he is injuring the school and
the community he is trying to build up.
The day is not far distant when the'xod

In our last issue we had some ‘lndian
Spring Dots,” written by ajUiend down
there, in which he stated pat the mer
chants were waiting umjer trees for
rainy days. We got the it#m misplaced
aud made it refer to Jackson, which was
a misrepresentation of otff' town. Our
merchants can hardly wai-i on their cus
tomers, especially those * ho advertise.
We are glad to make this soneefcion, in
asmuch as it is very unfa ’ to our busy
merchants.
Prof. Blasiugame went £,O West Point,
with Miss Jessie Jones, pccompanying
the body of Miss Daisy, who recently
died in our town. Such conduct is char
acteristic of the man and highly approved
by our people. There is no measuring
the comfort given the beihft mother by
this thoughtful and manly act. It proved
to her that her child died among friends
and wanted nothing to wake her comfor
table that our town culd give, Miss
Jessie, as well as her younger lamented
sister, who died, numbered their friends
in this section by the cittle tf their ac
quaintance.
A coincidence at the laptist church on

Mr J. T. Lane gave us a remedy for
securing absolute congeniality between
man and wife and if any one sees this
who needs it it will prove a certain cure
for any conjugal disturbances. This is
the story: A man tried for ten years to
please his wife and was mortified every
day at his failure. The wife was doing
the same thing and was likewise disap-
pointed. They each decided to change
their tactics. They decided not to try
to please each other, but each decided
to be satisfied with what the other done
and they are both happy. Make the res
olution to be satisfied with your wife
and she will soon be contented with you.
Butts County Outrage.
The Atlanta Journal of yesterday told
a sensational story, under the above
ugly heading. There was not a word of
truth in it from the first letter to the
last. Butts county will certainly sue the
Journal for enough money to build a
new court house, which will not be less
than $25,000.
Southern R. B. for Washington.
I hope to leave Jackson for Washing

Jackson Rick.
The noble character who was known
by the above name passed from this
earth to the realms of everlasting happi
ness on Tuesday morning. He was a
useful and consistent member of County
Line church and had been for many
years. Uncle Jack, as he was commonly
called, had no enemies, in fact we guess
he never had a quarrel in his life. He
was one of the pioneers of our section
and county. Never has he failed to meet
every obligation upon him as citizen and
Christian-gentleman. His wife died a
few years since and now he gladly fol-
lows her. He leayes many relatives to
mourn his death, and friends almost
innumerable join them in mourning for
him.
Death of Hr. B. J. Jinks.
On Wednesday evening of this week
the soul of Mr. B. J. Jinks took its
flight from this earth to that bourne
from which no traveler returns. His
death was • the result of a prolonged
illness with diabetes, from which dread
ed disease he has suffered for the past
several years, until it took a serious
turn some two weeks ago, resulting in
his death.
Mr. Jinks was about 55 years of age,
and has served in the capacity of county
surveyor of Butts county for the past
twenty years, which position he filled
most acceptably up to the time of his
death.
He leaves a wife and two children,
besides a large concourse of friends,
along with other relatives, who mourn
his untimely departure. The body was
interred with Masonic honors by the
members of St. Johns Lodge of Jackson,
and his remains were laid to rest in Bethel
cemetery on Thursday evening last.
The Argus extends sympathy to the
bereaved relatives.
A CORRECTION.
It having been reported by persons, malic
iously Inclined, that I have tyyhoid fever, I
desire to state to the public that such state
ment-is false in its entirety. I not only have
never had typhoid fever nor even the faintest
of its symptoms, but have been suffering with
a severe shock of nervous prostration, and
hope this brief explanation will set the matter
right before the people. Very Respeetfuily,
Has. G. W. Thoento~.
Clothing.
| Why spend your hard earned dol
lars for cheap and shoddy clothing,
mis tits, and back numbers, when
you can get the prettiest summer and
spring weight goods from us, cut in
all the new and stylish makes, The
London, Harvard, Derby Sack, Re

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 Goods and Silk Waist
patterns, etc. We will receive fresh
additions this week in Japanese Silks,
Plisses, Kai-Kai, Solioda, and other
up to date fabrics for waists. Re
member the low prices marked on
our goods on our openiug days is ths
key to the situation, and caused u.

We are at a loss to explain to our
wives how it is that the over-product
ion of cotton has been used up so
quick and the lint has gone up. Had
it risen last fall when there was over
production it would have put millions
in the pockets of the farmers in the
south, and our merchants would have
had some trade. Let’s all give our
statesman(?) a grim smile and join
together and right the wrongs inflicted
on our country in 1873. Let the
watchword be bimetalism. E.
