lest something serious may result from
the hard and laborious exertions of bis

now, and if he hadn’t stopped off this
week to recuperate his health, it is hard
to conjecture what might have followed.
We ti-ust he may recover.
Daye Spencer took us out to see some of

M. Y. McKibben, near Jenkinsburg, cn
Wednesday of this week. Dave has
some of the best corn, beai’iug finer pi'os
pects, than any we have seen this season,
and if Colonel McKibben doesn’t ship a
few car loads out to Kansas on consign
ment, it won’t be because of the inferior
quality of the coni, nor that he l-asn’t it
to spaire. Dave is one among the best
farmers of Georgia.
Levi Ball is the champion farmer of
Butts couuty. He is also an industrious
and exceedingly energetic tiller of the
soil. One day last week he concluded
to go out to his faim, some three miles
from Jackson, and put in a full day plow
ing. He left Jackson about 3 o’clock A.
M. so as to get an early start for the day.
After arriving at his farm he began ma
king preparations for the days work.
He hitched up the mules, got the ne
gros all together and started to the wag
on to get the plows. But imagine his
consternation when he found that he
had driven out to his farm that morning
and not a plow was in sight he txad come
away from town aud left them all down
home. Joe Wright says he uuhitched
the mules and all of the men went off
with Levi to bunt black-herries.

Only about two months now until the

Some man managed to get the exami
nation papers prepared by the State
School Commissioner and sold them, at j

Meyers Guilty.
The verdict of the jury in finding
Meyers guilty of the murder of Forrest
Crowley in Atlanta, is one that will re
ceive almost universal commendation.
Now let the seuteuce be executed, so
that justice may not be longer delayed.
If Carr and Hauvey are forced to meet

The young ladies who made applica
tion for teachers’ license this week are a
credit to the profession. Misses Nellie
Smith and Clovis Jinks are both worthy
and competent young teachers. Miss
Bessie Waldrop, who is only seyenteen
years old, and who never taught any,
stood a most magnificent examination.
Her answeisare perfect models of beauty
and correctness. The six young men
who applied are all worthy and will no
doubt be a credit to their profession.
Some of them are already teachers of
acknowledged ability. They are Profs.

“Wash” Guthrie says he is the champ
ien checker player of Jackson. Every
time he gets beat (which is every other
game), he attributes the cause to the
oppressive heat, and says he neyer could
play draughts in hot weather. “Wash”
desires to tackle all the good players of
Jackson, and, if possible, capture the
leather medal which the Argus has
offered for the champion player of our
city. The medal is a unique piece of
workmanship. It was made by Mr. John
Jones, our popular shoemaker, and con
sists of a narrow strip of sole leather of
the finest quality, and will pi ore very
interesting as a souvenir. On one side
is engraved: “Honorary Member of the
Lazy Club,” while the other is artist
ically decorated with the information
that “You can’t down a working man.”
Whether “Wash” wins it or not, he is
eutitled to it on general principles.
A .Misrepresentation*
A Dr. Cox who went from Flovilla to
Griffin, we have been infoimed is repre
senting to the people there that there
is being more whiskey drank in Butts
county than when it was sold here.
There is not one-tenth as much drank
here, and Dr. Cox would know this if he
had been here before the prohibitioa law
went into effect. It is a rare thing to see
a man drunk in Jackson now. It is
talked of when it does happen as much
and deplored as much as any other crime
against soaiety. There are a few, very
few men who can ever go to Griffin and
come back sober* Prohibition prohibits

Buried with Its Mother*
The wife of Spence Richards, col., who
lives on the farm of Mr. J. H. McKibben
near town, died Tuesday. On Wednes
day he carried the 17 months-old bailor to
its mother’s burial, and while the obse
quies were being attended the child died
and it was put in the coffin with its
mother in less than two hours after the
breath left it. The child had been sick
sevei’al days, and the father was advised
by those present to the course he pur
sued. He has the sympathy of the com
munity, and no one censures him for the
strange act of carrying a live person to
the cemetery from which it never re
turned.
Teachers’ Institute.
Next week the annual normal session
| of the teachers of Butts county will con
vene at the Jackson Institutef Prof. U.
R. Thompson has been secured as the

position. Having just completed two
years of successful and satisfactory
work for the progressive people of Flo
villa, from which pleasant relation he
has been recently ealled to accept the
presidency of Hilliard Institute, of For
syth, and those people are spending
$5,000 in modernizing and otherwise im
proving the honse for their new teaoher.
Hon. C. S. Maddox, C. S. C., is enthu
siastic over next week’s work, and will
assist Prof. Thompson in eyery way to
make the week the best one ever spent
in a like manner in the county.

tion made. There is a great benefit to
be derived by attending these sessions.
While it is compulsory on all holding
teacher’s license to attend, all who are
interested in school work are invited.
Let our people give it their attendance,
board of education and all. The town
will welcome the bright young teachers
next week.
