Mr. Asa Smith is having a pipe laid underground from the public well down to the Morrison House, Avhere it will sup ply pure, fresh water for this hotel.

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 store of J. M. Hoggins. Respectfully, may3-2t Crawford & Beauchamp. 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. 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.

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 l ack to Georgia. She returned last week 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. | Dr. Miles' Pain Pills, “One cent a dose." 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.

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. Miss Katie Edwards of Oxford, Ga., is visiting Mr. J. A. Plunket’s family this week. Miss Katie is not‘a student at Oxford, bat I think she has a represent ative there. Prof. Lewis and Andy Plunket are get ting to be fishermen indeed. They got a bite and caught something too —a mos quito did the biting, and it was a cold they caught. Mr. Larry Ball is learning the carpen ter’s trade; he made a pair of chair rock ers last week, and is making a fire screen this.week. He is a hustler. I want to exchange a mess of spring salad for a piece of bacon to go in a mess for myself. E. J. 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. Correspondent. DON’T READ THIS !
