ty’s most charming young ladies, who
has beeu attending Jackson Institute

Miss V. L. Mulvie, has sent back to
Jackson from her far-away home in Mis
sissippi for several copies of the Jack
sox Argus. All intelligent people want
the true exponent of the best element
in this section where it is published.
The town was shocked to learn Mr. H.<|
F. Edwards was shot at Dublin Ga. on
Saturday by a Mi% Peacoea. Mr. Ed- :
wards lived here several yeai's and was
a peceable law abiding eitizen. He has
a wife and two children depending upon
him for a support, which makes the af- ;
fair more pitiable. Mrs. Edwards is in
a very delicate condition and may not
survive the shock. The combined grief
of a dangerously wounded if not dying
husband and the nervous prostration !
attending parturition,it- is feared, will be
more than she can bear.
Mr. Joel. B. Watkins thinks it better for
a man to give his family what money he
lias for them while he is living thau to
pay an insurance company to do it after
he is dead. We think the family is more
sure to get it from their father or hus
band than the insurance Cos. Did you
ever think of the thousands and thous
ands of money going out of this county
for msurance and how little comes back.
It would half settle the money question
fortha south if we eould stop that tre
mendous flow of money to other sec
tions for nothing at all. 99 men out of
every hundred loose all the money they
ever put into premiums as insurance
against a thing that never occurs until
after the lapse of the contract.

A Correction.
Atlanta, Ga., June 10, 1895.
Editors Argus.—l would be glad to
infringe on your good nature to the ex
tent of asking a short space in the
columns of your most estimable jour
nal to correct what has a possible ten
dency to rellect somewhat on myself.
The reflection of which I complain is
this: I have noticed in several issues of
your paper references concerning Bob
Lee, the negro under arrest in Jackson
charged with train wrecking on the
Southern Railway without stating liis
color, occupation or nationality, leaving
a reading public to conjecture, as he and
I answer to the same name and having
both resided in the same county—Butts.
I have a larger number of acquaintances
in Jackson and Butts county probably,
than Bob Lee, colored. For this reason
in Justice to myself, Mr. Editors if you
have occasion to speak of the prisoner
again please insert the little abbrevia
tion “col” aftei his name, and oblige.
Bob Lee, (white.)

A Gran 1 Jury Case.
Some malicious person oc persons threw
the bucket in the well and pulled off
some palings at the Institute recently.
They did even worse than that. They
even went into the house and committed
depredations that nothin" hut a dog
would do. Now this property is as
much protected by law as any property,
and the trustees have a watchful eye on
it Soma of them know who the filthy,
worthless curs are and they will feel the
effects of the strong arm of the law
when they are least expecting it, Au
idea seems to prevail that a school house,
because it belongs to the public, can be
desecrated with perfect impunity, but
they are mistaken The Trustees are
the guardians in this matter and no one
cau use the property without their con
sent. Much less despoil it and make a
common barn of the girls’ rooms.

“108 OA 303, PLEASE !”
“Hello ! There ! Is that you Steven ?”
The telephone line is now up and iu
active operation between Jackson, Flo
villa and Indian Spring, all due to the
indomitable pluck and energy of Mr.
Sleyen B. Kinard, one among Jackson’s
most progressive young men.
If you now*desire a five minutes’ talk
with a merchant of Flovillaora resident
of Indian Spring, all you have to do is
stick the telephone to your ear, open
your bazoo and “let ’er go Gallagher.”
The telephones work magnificently, and
the most inaudible sounds are transpor
ted over the wires with ease. This we
learned after Bob Etheridge told us that
'While talking to Steven over the lipe to
Indian Spring, though the telephone is
situated in the office of the Wigwam, he
could distinctly hear a crawl
ing up the bark on an oak tree two hun
dred yards from llie spring. This un
doubtedly is caused from the fact that
Bob has greatly improyed his hearing of
late, by listening for cyclones, and as it
SPECIAL SALE
was a yery dry and sultry day we do not
doubt the “ehigger” assertion in the
least. Anyway, the telephones are
ready for use, and we guarantee if you
start a message off oyer the wire it won’t
be delayed by stopping along the road
picking black-berries.
Mr. Kinard informs us that It is his
iuteution to erect a line around Jackson
and put telephones in the business
j houses of our city, provided he can get
| the proper encouragement. Now, we
hardly believe there is a public spirited
citizen of our town who would not en
courage Mr. Kinard iii his enterprise, by
lending all the assistance in theirpower,
and we say it is a foregone conelusion
that it will be only a matter of a few
days before every business house in
Jackson of any magnitude whatever
will be provided with a telephone for
their own convenience, as well assisting
this honorable gentleman in the up
building of public improvements in our
midst.
Steve, the people of Jackson are with
you in your undertaking, and if you put
them up on credit, you can come down
and stick the Argus office full of’em.

a chicken snake about four feet long

hence her early visit to its couch. Sev
eral little abrasions of the skin were
found about the baby’s nose, but other
wise it was uninjured.
