Prof. James C. Blasiugame was elected
for the third time to guide and preside
over the Jackson Institute by the board
of directors od last Tuesday. Another
harmonious school year in Jackson will
place the grand old Institute abreast
with the best educational concerns in
the state. There were no teachers elec
ted, and probably will not be for several
days, but in all probability they will all
be asked to remain and continue their
good work in their respective rooms.
Our people are generally inclined to let
well enough alone, for when any busi
ness is doing well enough it has reached
a climax and should be let alone, for its
culmination reaches success. Taking
the faculty of the Institute in its entirety,
a more competent and worthy collection
of educators is hard to name.

Onr Line is Entirely Complete,
Col. Curry says, that when he got back
from Savannah the bean vines in his
gardon had grown so fast that the sticks

sticks, but if he hadn’t been to a Sabbath
school convention, he would be miscon
strued so as to mean that.
This is the season of the year when the
peaeh brandy men begin making prepar
tious for a “run,” and we are satisfied
that they will have considerable running
to do if the deputies remain as “vigil
ant” for a few months as they were a
week or so ago down in southwest Geor
gia, when they murdered old man Wil
liams. The revenue collectors, some of
them, are very brave men, and if they
should happen to slip up on you while
you are asleep, there is no telling wliat
they might do. The Argus is averse to
illicit distilling, and it is also against
murdering a person in cold blood, but if
we had to accept a choice of the two vo
cations we would undoubtedly accept
that of a “moonshiner” instead of the
latter.
Miss Minnie Atkinson, the accom
plished and taleuted president of the
Winfred High School, is in Jackson,
spending a few days with her parents.
Miss Minnie has an excellent school of
near 100 pnpils, and a musio department
which ranks among the best is a special
feature of this institution. As an in
structor Miss Minnie stands high in the
estimation of the patrons of her school,
and has the love and respect of every
pupil under her eharge. The Abgus is
pleased to note the success attendant
upon the teachers who are now winning
for themselves an enviable reputation
away from home, and we glory in the
fact that Butts can make as excellent a
showing iu this respect as any county of
its size within the geographical bound
aries of the world. Miss Minnie is a
daughter of our distiuguisbed fellow
citizen, Hon. Alex. Atkinson, which fact
alone is sufficient guarantee that success
in any of her undertakings is an absolute
assurance. We congratulate the resi
dents of Jasper county in their good for
tune in securing the services of Miss
Minnie Atkinson, and feel confident that
iu the selection of such a teacher they
shall never have reason to be sorry of
the honors bestowed upon her.

Mrs. Emma Clemons, who is en route
to relatives in Jasper county from Dallas,
Texas, stopped In Jackson Tuesday
night. Her husband died about a year
ago and left her with four little children,
friendless, in a strange land. In girl
hood she took three degrees in Masonry,
and in her lonelihess and helplessness
she sought the W. M. in her town, and
that lodge paid her house rent until she
left for Georgia and then gave her trans
portation to Griffin. The Masons there
sent her to Jackson, and the Masons
here paid her night’s lodging and sent
her on to Montioeilo, Jasper county. All
honor to the brethren of that fraternal
order. Mrs. Clemons says she has fared
well aH-the while and never asked any
one for a cent except the fraternity..

Editors Argus:
I have just returned from a brief visit
to Newton county. I was called there to
see a sick friend, whom I found in a dy
ing condition. This was my friend Lan
caster, who used to be a citizen of our
town. This is very sad, but it is some
thing we must all do —is to die, and it is
such a beautiful thing to see people liy
ing in readiness to meet the Master. We
had some trouble when we arrived at
Island Shoals, as the bridge was gone;
but we met a good Samaritan who car
ried us across. After a few hours’ stay
in good old Newton, we journeyed home
ward. From the looks of the fields as
we passed, those people believe cotton
is yet king. Such men as Messrs. Harvey
Maddox, Fincher, Wilson, Noles and
Cole, know how to make cotton, and
their fields of wheat and oats show up
equally as well.
I want to say for East Jackson, that
we are expecting something to leak out
soon that will prove beneficial to our
•ofinty. It is guess work with us, but
what does it mean to see three of our
leading moneyed men riding around
getting the lay of the land. They haye
been as far down as Peppertown, stop
ping and surveying. This means some
thing; those men mean business.
Mr. James Seats and good lady, for
merly of East Jackson, now of Alabama,
are yisiting friends in this place this
week. We are glad to see them.
And the red painted wheel has changed
hands. I imagine it will go yery hard
with one who has been used to riding at
a rapid rate to have to hit the mud with
his patent leathers. As for me, it wont
go so bad, as I am used to splitting the
mud. , E.*J.
Miss Reck to Resign,
From the Atlanta Constitution of the
22nd inst., we get the following:
Miss Beck has accepted the vice pies
idency of one of the leading female col
leges of New York, and will also occupy
the chair of Latin and Greek. Perhaps
no southern woman enjoys a broader
reputation as an educator than Miss
Beck. Familiar with the best literature
of the day as well as the great master
pieces of the language, Miss Beck has
impressed eyery one whom she has met
with her culture and information. As
the president of the Capital Female col
lege she has endeared herself to hun
dreds of her pupils and has advanced the
cause of female education in the south.
IJjer decision to leave Atlanta entails a
very great loss upon this city.
