JACKSON, GA., FRIDAY. AUGUST 16, 1895.
Butts County Sunday Fcltool Asso
ciation.
The annual meeting of this association
was held at Indian Springs camp-ground
last Friday, and as usual a very large
crowd w as present from the whole coun
ty. It is estimated that at least 2500
people were on the grounds.
The exercises were quire interesting
from the very beginning, and all the
Sunday schools did well. In the morn
ing each school in its turn took its place
on the stand aud by songs and recita
tions enteitaiued the large assembly.
Where all did so well it is not necessary
to specify any particular school. Even
the smallest schools did as well as the
large ones.
There was no annual address oi speech
from abroad. Possibly there would
have been a still more attractive feature
if there had been a strong address upon
some phase of the Sunday school work.
Iu the aftertoon, a much smaller
crowd gathered under the stand, where
off-hand addiesses were made by Mr.
Maddux,of Beulah School; Prof. C. C.
Cox, of Southern Female College; Mr.
Ethridge, Jackson, and Rev. Clement C.
Cary.
It was to be regretted that some
schools in the eount.y were not repre
sented, Much is to be gained by these
annual gatherings of the Sunday schools,
and it would seem that no school of any
denomination could refuse to attend
this yearly meeting.
The association is interdenominational
and it is a good sign to see the various
denominations meeting on a common
ground to further this great cause, with
out sacrificing any principle.
Altogether the day was well spent and
profitable, and the meeting no doubt
will help to keep alive the Sunday school
interest in Butts county.

More Fruit.
The Argus has been quite fortunate
this week in receiving nice specimens of
fruit.
This time we are due many thanks to
the Misses Fretwell for a half bushel of
nice white peaches. These compliments
are always very much appreciated by

to possess an orchard.
A Needy Confederate.
Below we print a communication re
ceived at this office in regard to the
needy condition of an old soldier.
In a letter he states that he saw an ac
count of the reunion of the 30th Geor
gia regiment at Jackson and hence he
writes for aid from some of the vets.
The case is a needy one aud any con
tribution left [at this office will be for
warded to the old soldier.
The following is the letter received:
Pontotoc, Miss., May 14, 1895.
To All Whom These Presents May
Come—Greeting :
I, the undersigned, do hereby certify
that Captain John N. Sloan, an old and
respected citizen of Pontotoc, Miss.,
was a Confederate soldier, and was des
perately wounded in the memorable bat
tle of Chiekamauga, on Sept. 20, 1863, by
having the most of his under jaw, all of
bis upper teeth and part of his tongue
shot away, and his face terribly muti
lated by the explosion of a shell from
the enemy’s guns; since whieh time he
has had to lie down when taking his
meals and be fed with fluids 'altogeth
er, as he cannot masticate food of any
kind. And in addition to his unfortun
ate and irreparable wound, he has an
invalid wife and two invalid daughters,
who are dependent upon him for sup
port. He is poor and unable to perform
manual labor.
I, therefore, most earnestly and re
spectfully recommend him to his com
rades and all charitably disposed persons
and friends as being a man and soldier in
every way worthy of their sympathy and
charity; aud any amount which maybe
contributed to their relief will be grate
fully appreciated by your old disabled
soldier friend and his invalid family.
Withess my signature this the 14th day
of May, 1890.
.Chas.D. Mitchell,
Family Physician.
State of Mississippi, )
Pontotoc County. J May 14, ’95.
I, the undersigned clerk, do hereby cer
tify that I am personally acquainted with
Capt. J. N. Sloan and his family, and fur
ther certify that the above statements
made by Dr. C. D. Mitchell are true as
stated.

Build the Boad.
We feel that the people of Jackson
cannot let another year pass without
taking some steps towards building a
car line from here to the spring. It
would be of inestimable value to Jack
son if this load could be put in opera
tion by the next season.
People who visit the spriug would
much rather, remain in Jackson if they
had hourly access to the spring. It
would cost comparatively little to build
such a road and all that we need to
make it a succes is for some enterpris
ing man to take hold of it and push it to
a successful completion.
If we had an electric line or a dummy
from here to the spring visitors would
flock to our town during the summer
months and leave thousands of dollars
in our midst.
Large hotels and boarding houses
would go up and it would undoubtedly
be of material and lasting benefit to the
town. We are all willing to talk of
kard times and the contracted currency—-
yet when there is a grand opportunity
to relieve the local pressure we seem
not inclined to take hold and bring re
lief to the citizens of our town and
county.
Luscious Fruit.
The Argus force is indepted to Dr.
J. Lee Byron for the finest fruit of the
season. The clever doctor brought us
in a basket of the finest peaches we have
seen this season. They were of the
Robert E. Lee variety ana were the most
perfect in form we have seen in some
time.
This is a very fine peach to he from
budded trees and they were for a surety
highly appreciated by the recipients.
Holiness Camp Meeting.
The time for this annual gathering
is August 27th to September 6th.
Arrangements are being made with
the railroads for reduced rates, which
have been heretofore three cents
goings and one cent per mile return
ing. Parties going must get certifi
cate at each point where ..tickets are
purchased from the agent selling and
have the same signed at the camp
meeting by Rev. H. A. Hodges, sec
retary, that they were in attendance
to get the advantage of this reduc
tion returning.
Large boarding tent on the grounds
where meals can be had, single 25
cents, and lodging 25 cents for the
night. We have no doubt but that a
little reduction can be made on this,
if arrangements were made for the
whole meeting. Tent in hands of
good, reliable party.
Room free to any and all that wish
to come and bring tents. Plenty of
good water, stores near where sup
plies can be bought. Fresh bread
brought daily from the bakery in
Jackson.
It is about three-quarters of a mile
to Indian Spring and car fare is only
five cents, each way.

The following original notice was
discovered tacked on a rural church
door:
“Notice- —There will be preaching in
this house, providence permitting, Sun
day; and there will be preaching here
whether or no on Monday following on
the Subject: ‘He that believeth and is
not baptized shall be saved, and he
that believeth not shall be damned at
precisely half past 3 o’cloek in the af
ternoon.” *
Jackson Institute.
Three years ago President Jas. C.
Blasingame took charge of Jackson In
stitute. Youug, enthusiastic, vigorous,
full of hope, he set to work to make the
best school in Georgia. Mr. Blasingame
is a man who is never satisfied with any
thing short of the yery best. He asked
his immediate predecessor for informa
tion about the school. This was flatly
refused him. He refused to furnish a
roll of the students, to give one word of
information about the course of study,
grade of pupils or policy of the school.
This left the president to start at the
very beginning and organize the school
as though there had never been an or
ganized school in the town before.
With such a perfect system and accu
rately adjusted curriculum as the cata
logue of the institute shows today it
necessarily required some time to bring
all conditions into harmony. But it
has been done and today Jackson Insti
tute stands without a superior iu the
state.
This is proven iu many ways. Several
of the leading colleges have offered
scholarships and proposed to take girls
and boys from Jackson institute for any
class without examination, upon the
recommendation of the president. Six
young ladies and one young gentleman
this year finished yery creditably the
thorough course of study prescribed and
received full diplomas which of them
selves are passports into some of the
best colleges of Gebrgia without exami
nation.
Again the strongest evidence of the
grand success of the institute is to be
found among the pupils and patrons
tliemselyes. The older pupils now
point with pleasure and pride to fact
that they were never under such
thorough discipline, which they know
was good for them, and were never re
quired to do such thorough work.
Many of them assert frequently since
going away to college that the training
received here was just exactly what they
needed to fife them for the arduous duties
of college life. One young man, in
speaking of the work done in Greek,
said in effect that it was just the right
kind of preparation for college work and
was superior to what he had seen from
any other school.
These things ought to swell with par
donable pride the heart of eyery loyal
citizen of the town. Although the suc
cess of the school is due in a great meas
ure to the untiring efforts of the presi
dent, yet he does not regard it as his
school. It is Jackson’s school, and
every man should be proud of it.
Certainly no man in Jackson or Butts
county will say aught against the inter
ests of that institution that has been in
strumental in the upbuilding of the town
and county, or against that institution
where our sons and daughters are pre
pared to successfully battle against the
odds in life and to meet competition as
it is found in the hustling bustling
world of today.
Next year should be the best Jackson
Institute has known, and in the interest
of humanity and for the sake of your
children and in the name of liberty and
the best interests of your town we call
upon every man to exert himself for the
continued prosperity of Jacjcson Insti
tute.
OLD PEOPLE.
Old people who require medicine to regulate
the bowels and kidneys will find the true rem
edy in Electric Bitters. This medicine does not
stimulate and contains no whiskey por other
intoxicant, butSpcts as a tonic and alterative.
It acts mildly on the stomach and bowels, add
ing strength and giving tone to the organs,
thereby aiding Nature in the performance of
the functions. Electric Bitters is an excellent
appetizer and aids digestion. Old people find
it just exactly what they need. Price fifty cents
per bottle at W. L. Carmichael’s drugstore.
In a few years every crazy person in
the asylum will also be a murderer.
Rome is to be connected with Atlanta
and the other cities of the state by
means of a telephone line.
Another murder has been committed
in the streets of Atlanta, and under the
yery shadow of the station house. This
time a young man killed his mistress.
He will be insane in a few days.
Several lynchings have taken place
in Georgia this week. When the crime
is stopped lynching will cease to occur
and not before.
It is only fourteen weeks till congress
meets. We wish it were possible to
predict what is going to be done by
the members of the next house.
It is doubtful whether or not Macon
will make any effort to have any ex
hibit at the Atlanta exposition. Ma
con’s inertness in this matter leads
one to believe her plainly jealons of
Atlanta’s big show.
A lad asked Henry Ward Beecher to
find him an easy berth. He replied:
■“you cannot be an editor; do notenter
the ministry, do not try the law; let
alone all ships, shops and merchandise;
abhor politics; do not practice medi
cine, neither be a soldier nor a sailor;
don’t work; dont think. Oh, my son,
you have come into a hard world. I
know of only {one easy place in it —
that is the grave.
That New Court House.
Another court week is at hand and
no court house. That rickety rook
ery ou the court house square needs
to he condemned and torn away f om
its present position. If the county
will positively refuse to build one we
are heartily iu favor of moving tiie
present building away from the
square and put it off on one edge of
the town where strangers cannot see
it aud remark upon its unsightly ap
pearance. It is nothing short of a
disgrace to the county to own, occupy
and use such a structure. We do not
know of a county in the state where
such a building as we have for the
halls ot justice is in such sad condi
tion of unsightliness and seeming
decay.
Butts count)’, with a ten thousand
dollar treasury and twenty-five dol
lar court house claims to be one of
the banner counties of the state. We
should never more feel any local
pride or attempt to boast of our town
or county until we have a court
house.
No man can consistently boast ot
Butts county with such a ramshackle
structure staring him in the face.
It is a travesty upon the boasted
wealth and citizenship ot the county.
So long as its walls stand to remind
us of the ancient long ago we will
just so long feel handicapped in our
efforts to build up the town and the
community. The court house should
he a grand nucleus around which
every other enterprise should grow
and flourish.
For sake of decency ami outward
appearances, lets have the courthouse.
It will not burden the county with
any' extra taxation. We could build
a ten or twenty thousand dollar
structure and never feel the loss of
the money from the county treasury.
Let the next grand jury recommend
its erection and we guarantee that
Judge Beck will have it done.
The present building is hardly fit
ted or large enough to conduct a coro
ner's inquest i:i with any degree of
decency and order.
The Weed of Fire Protection.
Jackson is sadly in need of some
means of preventing fires. We are at
all times completely at the mercy of
the flames and if a fire should ever
staxt there would be no way possible
to prevent it from working complete
destruction.
We are certainly overlooking the
great interests of the town when we
allow the property of the town to be
completely at the mercy of the fire
fiend.
We are almost sure to have a fire
sooner or later and the sooner we pre
pare for it the better.
The most dangerous season of the
year, vt hen fires originate very easily,
is approaching and we should not let
our property longer remain in such
imminent danger'of destruction.
A good fire company eould be read
ily formed if there was any induce
ment to such a formation.
' If the town will buy the proper ap
paratus for such uses the people of the
town would very gladly get up a
company. The annual cost to the
town would be comparatively nothing
and our people who own property
would be amply repaid for the feeling
of safety they would experience.
Then the rate of insurance would
necessaiily be decreased and this
would amount to a good sum itself
taking into consideration the taxable
property of the city.
We hope soon to see some active
steps taken to insure safety to the
pueperty owners of the city.
A HOUSEHOLD TREASURE.
D. W. Fuller, of Canajoharie, N. Y., sayt that
he always keeps Dr. King’s New Discovery in
the house and his family has always found the
very best results follow its use; that he would
not be without it, if procurable. G. A. Dyke
irar., Druggist, Catskill, N. Y., says that Dr.
King’s New Discovery is undoubtedly the best
Cough remedy ; that he has used it in his fam
ily for eight years, and it has never failed to
do all that is claimed for it. Why .not try a
remedy so long tried and tested. Trial bottles
