all who desire to purchase.
Mr. Rolle, state agent for the Waverly
Bicycles, along with several other fast
riders from Atlanta, came down to Indian
Spring on Sunday last on their “bikes.”
Mr. Rolle, besides being a very fast rider
and professional cyclist, is a perfect gen
tleman in every sense of the word. He
is thoroughly up to date on all matters
pertaining to wheels, and would rather
make you a present of a bicycle than mis
represent one to you in a sale. He has a
host of friends in Jackson who shall be
glad to see him down this way very often,
as he is a gentleman who makes friends
of all acquaintances. In him the Indiana
Bicycle Cos. have a man of whom they
should well be proud.

one at Jenkinsburg, which was bidden
in by Mr. J. A. Carmichael of that place.
Our ordinary had figured so closely on
the cost that he could not get a bid at
first offered. He had to relieve the bid
der of furnishing a stove and painting
the house before the sheriff could get a
bid. Everything was taken very cheap,
as our people are anxious to work at any
thing that will give employment to those
in their neighborhood needing it. Under
ordinary circumstances no one would
build such a house as required by the
specifications for less than S2OO.

The graduating class at the Jackson
Institute tbis year is composed of seven
of our noble young people: Misses Bessie
Land, Eloise Pound, India Daniel, Jauie
Duke, Annie Carmiehael, Ruby High
tower, and Mr. J. T. Jolly. We bespeak
a bright future for every one of them.
Mr. Jolly is the only young man in the
graduating class of the Institute for the
year 181*5. Our people are especially
proud of Mr. Jolly, for he is a Butts
county boy, and has gone thiough his
whole school career with all the differ
ent teachers, and has never given one of
the faculty any trouble. Such boys al
ways leave school with the best wishes
of their teachers and fellow pupils, for
he has done his duty and is lovable, and
will be approved by all good citizens.
We are glad to learn that Miss Jones
has decided to remain a member of the
faculty of Jackson Institute another
year. Miss Jones is doing a great work
in the Institute and has made many
warm friends during her stay here. She
pays the Institute quite a compliment in
remaining, since she was offered a very
fine position in a large college in Ten
nessee. President Blasingame has dis
played good judgment in the selection
of teachers for the music department,
and we believe the patrons generally de
sire them to remain and carry on the
work they haye so well begun.
Those enterprising hotel men, the
Collier brothers of the Wigwam, Indian
Springs, have arranged for a grand whist
congress which begins on June 17 and
lasts until July 17. Hundreds will be
present and participate in the contests,
whieh will be exceedingly interesting.
There will be three contests-r-one for
lady partners, one for ladies and gentle
men playing together, and one for gen
tlemen partners. The visitors of the
congress are promised the best enter
tainments by the hotel proprietors and
every devotee of the game in the states
around about is invited to be present
and participate. The Wigwam is sure
to be crowded during this great week.
Our efficient Ordinary, Judge Carmich
ael, oalled our attention to a paper read
the convention of ordinaries, and
published in the Middle Georgia Pro
gress, presented by Major M. Newman.
It is an able paper and reviews some im
portant matters, and it is also unique as
well as entirely original and humorous.
He thinks in some counties the “Ordi
naries are not only judges by oourtesy,
but have to be counselor, guide, friend,
protector, and a man of affairs generally,
and much of it ‘without money and with
out price.’ ” We assure the major the
closing remarks of the above quotation
applies to our Ordinary, because he does
those kind of jobs for us and frequently
“without money and without price.”
Judge Pound has resigned the place of
county school commissioner and that
place w’ili be filled by the board of edu
cation on next Monday. Judge Pound
has filled the place acceptably to all, and
many a teacher who has beeu the recip
ient of his kindness and courtesy will
feel sad to know that Mr. Pound’s con*
tinued ill health has caused him to va
cate an office he loved and where he has
done many a good day’s work for Butts
county. All the children in the country
schools were glad for the judge to make
them a visit, for they knew he would
inject spice into the usual monotonous
proceedings, and have some fun as well
as hear some recitations, and brag on
such children as deserved commendation..

On Wheels to Atlanta.
Messrs. F. Z. Curry, Arthur Stewart,
0.8. Lewis and Jack McDonald, went up
to Atlantaon their bicycles, Monday last,
and had a most enjoyable trip. They
went by way of McDonough over to Love
joy and on up the Central railroad to At
lanta. The actual time they were riding
was about six hours, and they stopped
three hours attl\e stations along the road.
The distance they went- is 64 miles, mak
ing an average of nearly ten and a half
miles an hour, whidi is very good time
for amateur riders for such a long dis
tance.
The marshal at Jonesboro gently in
formed the boys that ft was against the
ordinance to ride on the sidewalks, and
as they had been doing this very thing,
no time was lost in leaving Jonesboro,
and as Dr. Lewis mounted bis wheel and
burned the wind, a negro bystander re
marked: “Lawd, de marshal will nebber
gitdat man; jes’ luk at him flyiu’ way
frum here!” It is needless to remark
that the marshal couldn’t have caught
that troup with a telegram. N
Frank Curry wanted to hire a negro
woman to cook the four boys eight chick
ens, at Morrows’ station, as he said he
could devour three of them himself, and
we know this to be a fact, for he made
way with a steak as large as a jail blanket
when he struck Atlanta. Stewart got
the cramp in his leg just before we
reached Lovejoy, but as soon as he found
chat we had no refreshments along with
us, his leg got well and we proceeded on
our trip.
The thermometer registered about 98
in the shade after 10 o’clock a. m., and
everything taken into consideration, the
boys did remarkably well, and if you
don’t believe it just go and make the
same trip yourself.

Editors Argus:
There is an old adage that is very ap
propriate with us just now, which
rhymes like this: Asa rule, man’s a fool;
when it’s hot he wants it cool; when it’s
cool he wants it hot; lie’s always want
ing what is not.” Don’t you think if a
man is not hard to please concerning
warm weather, this will fit him ?
Our children in this section are making
great preparations for the commence
ment. They are expecting a general
jollification, and some of the parents are
interested. Poor me, for one, for it has
"been “papa, I want a dress, I want some
ribbon, I want a sword made, I want
shoes, etc.,” and as I am not much on
running bank accounts, it makes me
scratch my head as t study where I can
get some “space” at. Such is life.
Well, East Jackson is very popular in
