On account of the interesting meeting
now in progress at the Methodist Ghurcli,
and the desire of our people that Rev. C.
C. Carey should go with the Sabbath
schools, aud on account of the absence of
Dr. Gardner and the unsettled condition
of the weather, the picnic has been post
poned to some future date, which will
be stated in the near future.
Mrs. G. W. Gardner had Irish potatoes
for dinner on the 26th of April, and she
has plenty of them now, which are the
only ones ready for table use we have yet
heard of that were grown in Butts county
this season. The seed were secured at
the store of Dr. W. L. Carmichael, and
not having been planted until late in
February, shows they were just what the
doctor said they were —an early .variety.

Our Line is Entirely Complete,
A member of the church who is in
every way competent to do so, will read
a very interesting sermon at the Baptist
church Sunday. This is made necessary
on account of the absence of Dr. Gardner
iu attending the convention at Washing
ton. This will boa very unique as well
as novel way of hearing the gospel in the
absence of the preacher, and we believe
it will be as profitable as well as interest
ing and novel.
Robert Carmichael, son of Judge J.
F. Carmichael, v\hile doing some garden
woik on Monday last, dug up fifteen
pieces of bright silver money. It was
dollar and half-dollar pieces, the half
dollar pieces are United States coins and
the dollar pieces Spanish coins. All of
them bear dates from 1827 back to 1804.
It is rumored that about $3,000 was bur
ied there, and the ground will probably
be torn up in search of the remainder of
the supposed hidden treasury.
Col. Parry Lee, the gallant and versa
tile editor of the Pike County Journal,
visited the family of Mr. J. M. T. Mayo,
on Sunday. Col. Parry Lee, like all
other editors nho are married, is blessed
with a considerable number of sweet lit
tle children. We doubt if even preach
ers can show a better record in conjugal
felicity than country editors, especially
if a tree is to be judged by its fruit. Of
course this dees not in any way refer to
our junior, who is now single, but very
marriageble.
We had the pleasure of listening to a
very interesting aud instructive sermon
Sunday at the jail, preached by Rev. C.
C. Carey to the prisoners. This was not
his first visit, he has held several services
there before. The only white man in
jail, Mr. Platner, professed religion
'Sunday. He seemed to be perfectly re
sidue'! to his fate, and the man of God,
| Mr. Carey, was greatly oyerjoyed at his
short but apt statement in surrendering
1 all to God. We were truly glad that the
I labors of Rev. C. C. Carey have been
truly blessed.
The many friends of Miss Florrie Lee,
iu Jackson, will be glad to welcome her

from Jacksonville, Florida. Miss Flprrie
has been attending the Duval College of
Jacksonville, and was one of the seniors
cfs. Fresh laurels were garnered for
Jackson Institute and some of our for
mer music teachers by this bright young
daughter of Jackson. Miss Florrie made
a specialty of music, and high compli
ments were won by her from her distin
| guished musical instructor, Prof. Chase,
on her excellent trailing, in vocal and
instrumental music. The foundation
was laid for her in Jackson, Ga.

Mr. Meade Hendrick, president of the
Jackson Oil Mill Cos., went to Atlanta
this week to attend the manufacturers’
meeting.
Rev. G. W. Gardner, accompanied by
Mrs. Chas. Smith, Mrs. H. L. Daughtry,
Mrs. Z.T. Buttrill, Mrs. Y. A. Wright,
Mrs. C. G. Fennell and Miss Marie Mc-
Michael, left Jackson on Wednesday
morning to attend the Baptist conven
tion which meets in Washinton, D. C.,
this week. The party will return home
on Thursday of next week, and during
their trip will have a most enjoyable
time.
Mr. G. S. Hanes offers the following
solution of the financial question, which
we think gives the free silver democrats,
the international democrats, and all
other democrats, what they ask for and
should harmonize the party on this
question: “For every ounce of gold coin
ed at the mint coin 16 ounces of silver.”
This would be free coinage at a ratio of
16 to 1, pure and simple, and would for
ever kill the “bugger” of undue infla
tion and that-other little pest called
“parity.” And we would ask the assist
ance of no country on earth. That would
give us two dollars of primary sound
money with nothing fiat about it, to
where we get one now. These are our
first thoughts on the subject, and there
is food for thought in the suggestion.
Bob Etheridge, S. B. Kinard, “Jack”
McDonald and Charlie Pinckney, char
tered a hack and two fiery, untamed
steeds on Wednesday night last, and put
out for the river, where Stewart, Lewis &
Cos., haye located a fish camp. They found
these gentlemen actively engaged in
taking a quiet snooze on some cotton
seed in a gin house aear Pitman’s ferry.
After some very vigorous shouting these
gentlemen were finally awakened, aud
apprised of the fact that their visiting
brethren were hungry for fish in the
third degree. Mr. Lewis attired himself
in a neat fitting pants’ leg, while Stewart
donned a blouse waist with balloon
sleeves, and after borrowing one of our
hose supporters to draw up the fish bas
kets with, the bungi'Y meb made a dash
for the riyer. The first haul brought
up 76 nice channel catfish, and Bob Eth
eridge’s heart dropped down into his
- sock when he saw they were all real fish,
as he had an idea that fish died as soon
1 as they tackled the bait of cheese, beef
: steak and onions, which Stewart & Lewis
had fixed for ’em. No time was lost in
cooking the fish, and after devouring
enough to kill ten ordinary men, the
quartet returned to Jackson. If you
don’t want to have a good time you had
better keep away from Stewart, Lswis
& Co’s camp. That’s straight.

EAST JACKSON LOCALS.
Editors Argus;
I want to say that peace and harmony
is prevailing in our midst; but this is
nothing new for old East Jackson. All
of us that have business to attend to are
very busy. My mother always taught
me that an idle head was the devil’s
work shop; for this reason as well as a
few others I want to keep jogging on.
Our neighbors are all getting well of
measles; for this I am glad, and I think
they are too. I am sorry to say that Mrs.
P. H. Hencely is still very sick. I don’t
care much for our men being sick, but I
don’t want our good women to be suffer
ing so much. Mrs. John Jinks is much
improved, we are glad to say, after a
severe spell of fever.

NEW RAILROAD FOR JACKSON.
Special to Argus.J
A meeting of the farmers who live
along the proposed railroad route from
Conyers to Snapping Shoals, wai held at
King’s post offiee, Saturday afternoon.
Hon. L. F. Livingston, the noted con
gressman from the Fifth district, is the
leader and organizer of this new railroad.
The farmers will grade the road and then
giye it to the Georgia Railway company,
if that company will furnish -the rolling
stock for the railroad.
The correspondent for the Argus had
an interview with Hon. L. F. Livingston
on the subject. He is very enthusiastic
oyer the matter. He says: “We are
going to build the railroad.” It will be
well to remember that it was through
the efforts of Col. Livingston that the
; Macon and Northern was built.
How about having this railroad exten
ded. to Jackson by way of Cedar Rock ?
When this railroad is completed, all the
trade from the lower part of Henry and
Newton counties, which heretofore has
\
been coming to Jackson, will go to our
sister eity Conyers. Thus our merchants
j will lose all the trade from that section.
SPECIAL SALE
Jackson merchants as well as the farm
ers along the route from Snapping Shoals
to Jackson, should do all they can to
have this railroad extended to Jackson,
Let us hear from Dr. Mays, who owns
the quarries at Cedar Rock, on the sub
ject. Jackson will not lose trade by
having this railroad, but, on the con
trary, it will increase her trade rather
than diminish it.
