Miss Minnie Woods, one of our best

| “Say, wife, did you wash that flour for
j breakfast ?” “Goodness, uo ! Whoever
| heard of flour being washed ?” “Well,
I saw a dirty negro sitting on it when he
was bringing it from the depot up town.”
The above conversation was between
Jackson folks, aud several ladies are
commenting on the subject.
Gardens are looking fine in this ueigb

know that other folks can eat if we can’t.

Mr. Asa Buttrill was exhibiting a

Monday. It was sent to Mrs. Butner by

difficult feat aud reflects great credit
upon Professor Lewis as a cyclist of no
mean ability. Arthur Stewart also went
to Pittman’s ferry, a distance of eight
; and a half miles, in thirty-five minutes,
j This is not a very easy job in itself.

Mr. A. L. King, a very prominent far

Tuesday. We met him at Gunn, Potts &
Co’s store and he added his name to our
list. We are proud of all such men from
other counties, aud assure him it is just
his kind of people iu our county who
make up our iong list of subscribers. As
Mr King and bis wife were leaving town

We regret to learn that Judge Pound is
not getting along with his stroke of par

we trust he may soon have a change for

has held him prostrate for the past two
months or more.
Mr. J. P. Ray was the brightest and
happiest looking mau in Jackson last
week, but something seems to have come
over his dreams. He looks as well as
common, but he just stands and looks
toward Covington all the time, in a
dreamy, far away mood that eannot be
understood by any except those who have
been in love.
The Sunday schools of Jackson will
picnic at Indian Spring today, and as is
usually the case, a large and enthusiastic
crowd will be in attendance. A fare of
25 cents for the round trip has been
granted by the railroads, and thus gives
our children an opportunity of passing a
pleasant day away from home at very
small expense. Go down and take your
children.

has numerous friends in Jackson who
will be pleased to learn that he is now
meeting with that success in the practice
of law which is only attained by diligent
attention to business and a thorough
competency to conduct the affairs of his
profession. Ernest, Jackson rejoices in
your success.
Can’t Butts county haye an exhibit at
the exposition in Atlanta ? We think it
can, and now is the time to act. The
application for space will have to go in
prior to June Ist, or we will be left out
in the cold, as Commissioner Nesbit will
closa the list of entries on that date. It
would be an easy matter for the vegeta
ble farmers of Butts to make a brilliant
showing of their products at the exposi
tion, and it would be of great value to
our cpunty for such a thing to be done.
; The application for space can be made
| now, and as the fruits ripen they can be
j properly preseryed and labeled and sent,
up to the proper authorities. Won’t
| someone take the matter In charge now’,
and let’s not be behind other counties in

Jackson Cycle Club.
The enthusastic bicyclists of Jackson
met on Monday night of this w T eek and
organized the Jackson Cycle Club, with
a membership of fourteen, and starts off
in a nourishing manner with the follow
ing officers: President, Prof. O. W.
Lewis; Vice-president, Arthur Stewart;
Secretary, J. G. McDonald; Treasurer,
Steven B. Kinard; Captain, Jas. L. Yopp;
Assistant Secretary, R. N. Etheridge.
There are upward of fifty bicyclists in
Jackson, and as soon as the fact is
know n 4liat a club has been organized, it
is safe to say that its membership will
run high up into the forties. The object
of this organization is amusment and
exercise, and a hall will be secured at
once for the purpose of bolding meetings
and entertaining visiting members of
other clubs throughout the state. A
nice library of books and papers on the
subject of cycling will be procured, and
the club rooms will be open to members
who desire to read up on this pleasur
able exercise at any time. After the
club gets fully organized with all mem
bers who desire to join, a run will be
made over to Griffin just to see how fast
time can be made by our hoys on the
wheel.
The next meeting will be held in the
office of S. B. Kinard in the bank block,
and any owner of a bicycle in Jackson
who desires to join is respectfully asked
to be on hand and enroll his name upon
the list. There is no more pleasant and
harmless exercise than that of cycling,
and after the members have practiced
for a sufficient length of time, medals
will be offered by the club for those who
may have attained the highest profi
ciency in the art, and races of 100 yards,
one, two, five and twenty miles will be
indulged in by members of the club dur
ing the long summer evenings.
Remember tlie date and be on hand
Friday night at S. B. Kiuard’s office, and
if it is impossible for you to be present,
just give in your name to “Jack” Mc-
Donald, who will engraft it upon the
roll of The Jackson Cycle Club, thereby
entitling you to all the privileges of a
full fledged member.
