vho formerly taught school at the
Jackson Institute, is in the city
among his old friends fora few days.
Mr. J. B. Guthrie, our clever and

lery to McDonough today. We wish
him much success in his new field of
hibor.
When the people see your name in
the paper continually they get to
thinking they know you, and it is but
a short step from acquaintance to
pat roftage.
The new woman is said to be all
diamonds and hearts before marriage
but after'marriage clubs are trrnups
and slit* makes her hubby take the
spades.
The Galveston (Tex.) News copied
a portion of Col. M. V. McKibben’s
“Mexico letter” which appeared in
Tiii: Argus of a few weeks ago.
Miss Blanche Thompson has return
ed to the city from her home in
.North Carolina. She will soon re
sume her duties at the Globe Store.
The damp, cloudy weather we have
had for the past few days has been
very ruinous to cotton and fodder
►pullers. They have had little chance
po save their forage.
Miss Elia Pound will go to Har
mony Grove t o assist Professor Claude
Gray in his large school at that place.
Miss Elia is a fine teacher and we
predict for her new successes in her
now position.
\\ f arc pleased to note that the in
fant daughters of Messrs. C. G. Fen
nell and R. E. Stanfield are rapidly
recovering from their recent illness,
which came so near proving fatal to
them both.
We are glad to learn that Prof. H.
M. Fletcher is recovering from an at
tack of typhoid fever. He lias been
sick for the past three weeks and his
friends will be glad to know that he
has recovered sufficiently to ride out.
The revival services in progress this
week continue to draw large congre
gations. Much good is being done
our community by these services, and
Dr. Blosser and his associates deserve
the appreciation of every lover of
Christianity in our midst.
Mr. H. V. Gunn has returned from
an extended trip through Mexico and
|t he Western States. He states the
trip was most enjoyable but he thinks
he would not like the idea of making
a home anywhere else hut in old
Georgia.
The grand jury has been very busy
during the present session of the
court trying to find out the lairs of
several blind tigers which they seem
to think are running at large ovei
the county. Though blind they have
so far been very uccessful in escaping
the clutches of the law.
Professor Claude Gray has issued
the annual catalogue of the Harmony
Grove Institute. Here the trustees
have erected anew building with all
the modern improvements. We have
our doubt hut that Professor Gray
will do good work there to the emi
nent satisfaction of his patrons.
Misses Jennie Jameson and Cora
McMonaman have been in the city
the past week. They came for the
purpose of working in the meeting
{ with Dr. J. W. Blosser and his family.
Jl these young ladies seem very much
Consecrated to Christ and are very
earnest in their work for the Master.
We believ# they have accomplished
some good and added to the religious
enjoyment of the revival.
We are in receipt of the prospectus
of the R. Banks Stephens Institute
at Forsyth, Ga., over which Professor
Carle Rosse Thompson will preside.
This prospectus is a very handsome
little hook and is a credit to Professor
Thompson. He has arranged a very
thorough curriculum and will give to
the people of Forsyth the best school
they have ever had. Professor
Thompson is considered one of the
best educators in the state and we
predict for the young pedagogue
success in the professional
ork lie has chosen.

Prof. Troy Kelly was in the city a
day or so this week attending the re
vival services at the Methodist
church.
Mrs. J. J. Thornton and children
returned last night from Bidwell,
Tenn., where they have been spend
ing a few weeks very pleasantly with
friends and relatives.
Mr. I), J. Thaxton formerly of this
place and once editor of the Argus,
is in the city circulating among his
numerous friends. Mr. Thaxton is
now editor of the Dublin Courier, a
thriving little paper in the wire grass
region of South Georgia.
“The neighborhood of Mclntosh
was delightfully surprised early Sun
day morning by the announcement
of the marriage of Miss Alma Maude
Ellis to Mr. Edgar J. Hale, of Elgin,
Ga. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. Mr. Smith. After the con
gratulations and good wishes of
friends, the newly married couple de
parted to their future home, to enjoy
the bliss of a wedded life.” —Morning
Call, Griffin.
Mr. Stephen B. Kinard will soon
erect a telephone line from this place
to McDonough. He has completed
all the preliminary arrangements and
is expecting the wire every day. We
must congratulate our young busi
ness man upon the progressive spirit
he has shown in erecting telephone
lines for the convenience of our citi
zens. Such a spirit of industry and
energy will be materially rewarded
and we bespeak the patronage of the
public for this new adventure. Now,
if some live citizen or citizens would
build the much "talked of road from
Jackson to the spring we would
be on the up grade to success and
prosperity.
We learn that Captain L. D. Wat
son will resign his position as cashier
of the Jackson Banking Company to
take effect about the middle of Sep
tember, and that Mr. F. S. Cater, of
Macon, will succeed him. Captain
Watson’s face is so familiar to us all
at the bank it will be difficult to give
him up, but from what we learn the
bank has made a ten-strike in secur
ing the services of Mr. Cater, he hav
ing been raised in the mercantile bus
iness and thoroughly understands the
needs of the people. Mr. Cater is
now working at the bank becoming
familiar with all the details, and be
coming acquainted with the people.
Mr. Cater does not come to the bank
as a stranger, Mr. F. S. Etheridge,
the worthy president having known
him for twenty-five or thirty years, in
fact worked for him for six or more
years previous to his coming to Jack
son. Mr. Etheridge thinks Mr. Ca
ter the soul of honor and integrity
and worthy of the fullest confidence.
Girls! Girls! Call at the Globe
Store and see those lace stripe black
lisle thread hosiery.
Sharp Competition.
During the past year or two when
money has been unusually scarce various
means for drawing trade have been de
veloped.
Competition has been very sharp and
the unprogressive city has been left to
its inertness.
The following from the Memphis Ap
peal shows to what extent a hustling
city will go to bring trade to her mer
chants and business men.
“The idea is something after tli* fol
lowing: The merchants wholesale
dealers of the city—enter an agreement
whereby they all contribute to a general
transportation fund, subject to drafts at
the instance of the seeretary. When it
becomes necessary or desirable to have
an out-of-town merchant to visit Mem
phis, that he may be induced to place
his orders here, the wholesale merchant
goes to the secretary and instructs him
to have the out of town merchant fur
nished with a round trip ticket to Mem
phis, a charge of the ticket being made
against the local merchant making the
order. The seeretary then communi
cates with the agent or agents of the
road or roads over which the retail
merchant would come, instructing the
agent to have transportation furnished
the latter and charge to the Memphis
organisation of merchants, whatever it
should chance to be called. The ticket
is furnished, the merchant comes to the
city, makes his purchases, and in all
probability becomes a permanent dealer
with the local wholesalers.”
Mr. R. S. Brown, while on his way
to New York was in the wreck which
occurred at Mt. Airy, on the Southern.
The cars tumbled down a 65 foot em
bankment and only one person was
killed. Mr. Brown telegraphed that
he received no injury.
Mr. B. F. Moon left this morning for
new york for the purpose of buying a fall
stock for the house of Almaud, Moon Jfc
Cos. Mr. Moon will lay in a large as
j sortment of fine goods for the good trade
I that Jackson will enjoy this fall.

Finances of Jackson Institute*
To The Patrons and Public :
The Jackson Institute, to the pride
of our board of directors, city and
public, reached that distinction of be
ing one of the best institutions of pro
gressive learning in the state. Pos
sessing the rare qualifications ol su
perior faculty with noble Christian
characters besides all other eminent
scholarly qualifications that challen
ges our admiration, and as citizens of
the city of Jackson, Georgia, and
Butts county. In appreciation of
these facts we should unite in our
every effort to do every requirement
to further the success of the Institute.
The Board of Directors of the In

try to‘extricate the Institute from the
many financial hinderances that in
the past have perplexed them no lit
tle, do hereby adopt the following
rules for the fall term, to-wit:

OLD PEOPLE.
Old people who require medicine to regulate
the bowels and kidneys will iind the true rem
edy in Electric Bitters. This medicine does not
stimulate and contains no whiskey nor other
intoxicant, hut acts 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.
FOR EXCHANGE.
I have a No. 1 old family mare and
her colt, now 16 months old, that I
want to exchange for a pair of good
mules. The colt promises to make an
extra fine animal, sired by Geo.
Thompson’s horse, has good size,
shape and points. I can use a pair of
mules co better advantage on my
farm is the only reason I want to
make the exchange. Will trade
square and do not invite sharpers.

A HOCSEHOLD TREASURE.
D. W. Fuller, of Canajoharie, N. Y., says 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
man, 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
free at all drug stores. Regular size 50c. and
SI.OO.
Mr. E. J. Walker, city passenger
agent of the Seaboard Air-Line, was
in the city a few days during this week
working up the passenger traffic for
his road. Mr. Walker is a clever, ge
nial official and just such a personage
as can induce travelers to go his route.
Mr. Walker succeeded in getting some
of the merchants who have gone to
the markets to go by way of the Sea
board’s line. We hope this genial
gentleman will make us another busi
ness trip in the future.
If you need anything in summer
goods you can get them at your own
price for the next week at the Globe
Store.
Mr. C. H. Thornton brought to the
Argus office a well opened boll of cot
ton. He says there are a good many
scattered through his cotton. While
the crop is fully two weeks late this
year yet it will not be many days be
fore the fleecy staple will cover the
fields and will be ripe unto the har
vest.
Another Move to Jackson.
Mr. J. J. Ha nes, of Union Springs?
Alabama, has been in the city the past
week. Before leaving he succeeded
in renting the Gilmore house, eu Ben
ton street, and will move his family
here by October first. Mr. Ilaues is
the father of our fellow townsman,
Mr. G. S. Hams, ami we gladly wel
come him and his family into our
midst. He will prove a valuable ad
dition to our citizenship. Mr. Hanes
contemplates purchasing a home here
after living in our midst awhile.
Found Guilty.
One of the most inexpensive' trials
that has ever occupied the courts of
Butts county or the tribunals of jus
tice within the past decade was
brought to a sudden termination on
Tuesday of this week, when with
bowed heads and heavy hearts a mul
titude of people, after carefully
weighing the evidence in their minds,
with one accord, arrived at the con
clusion that those live and hustling
merchants, Thompson "Bros., have
been found guilty of selling goods
cheaper than any firm in Georgia.
There is also a case against them for
treating the people courteously who
are in the habit of trading at their
store, and that will also be
found guilty on this charge is a fore
gone conclusion.
Jndsc Beck’s Charge.
We think the members of the pres
ent grand jury will not soon forget the
very impressive charge that Judge
Beck delivered to them on last Mon
day. His remarks were clear and
forceful and to the point.
The judge was rather close in his
charge in regard to the last grand jury.
However, if there was any ground
for them they were none too severe.
All matters coming under the juris
diction of the grandjury should receive
their strictest attention. The respon
sibility of a graudjuror is no small
burden and this responsibility carries
with it something of the nature ot a
truft and it behooves every member
thereof to lay aside every prejudice and
do that which will work to the upbuild
ing of his county.
While the judge may seem to some
rather too severe, yet he is duty
bound by the position he holds to do
that which he knows to be his %ty
and let the liues fall where they may.
We hope this direct charge will
work a benefit in our midst and be of
good totheeounty atlarge.
The Globe Store will engage the
sen ices of a first class milliner from
Baltimore for the coming season.
Their millinery goods will be up to
date and the sto re will be prepared to
serve all their customers with the best
goods to be had.
Miss Buchman, the experienced
milliner of the New York Store, will
join Mr. J. H. Carmichael in Baltimore
where she will purchase the fall stock
ot millinery goods for her house.
This makes three buyers for this
house who h%.ve gone East for the
purpose of selecting a fall line of gaods.
We predict for this large firm a large
patronage this fall. They know how
to buy aud to sell goods.
A little negro who was stealing a
ride on the bumpers of the up passen
ger train Tuesday evening happened
to a very painful accident here. The
flagman pulled him from his place and
in doing so the wheels of the passen
ger coach run over his left hand sever
ing it jnst at the wrist, while all the
fingers on the right hand were mashed
off.
The following gentlem left for New

Capt. A. G. Hiteliins boarded the
early train Wednesday morning for

the needs and interest of his cus
tomers.
Messrs. Jas. L. Yopp and M. G. Bar
field, of the Globe Store, left
Wednesday morning for New York
and the eastern markets to buy in a
full supply of dry goods for their
mammoth establishment. Mr. Aopp

aud will make his purchases so that
his customers will be able to get the
benefit of the numerous bargains he
will make while in the markets.*

Wliafc about the new court house for
Butts county? We notice in your last
issue that you are in for a $20,000 house,
or a removal of the present shabby af
fair to some remote corner of the “city.”
We are not in for a $20,000 or even a
SIO,OOO expenditure for a courthouse, we
are not an old fogy either, we believe in
keeping touch with the progress of the
day, we think it right aud proper that
old Butts, one of the banner counties of
this grand old state, hold up her head
and march along in the fore front m the
strides of progress and advancement;
yet the time has not come for such an
expenditure. We as a people are not
able and should not be taxed more than
is absolutely necessary. It is the very
time that we are sadly in need of some
thing. Our court house is a standing
disgrace to a civilized people, not that
it is so diminitive, not that its exterior
is so revolting, but from the fact that it
seems to be nobody’s business to look
after the cleanliness aud care of the in
terior of the building. If a janitor was
provided to keep everything clean and
neat aud then our able young j udge impose
aline on every one that is thoughtless
enough to spit on a clean floor, we would
have a very good courthouse. We think
a few additions should be made and we
hope the present grand jury will recom
mend a few hundred dollars for such
improvements.
The holiness meeting at the ’camp
ground is nearly upon us, only six more
days and the bugle blasts will call the
saints to worship at the shrine of the
most high God. Rev. W. A. Dodge, the
head aud leader of the movement, is on
hand making ready for the great en
campment. His great soul is fully en
listed in this work and he goes in for
victory. Mr. Lindsey, the manager of
the Indian Spring & Flovilla.railroad has
been making ready to handle the im
mense crowds. Mr. Gilmore, the pop
ular conductor, he is now ready for
the rush and can handle all who come.
While Mr. Ammens and Mr. Linch, who
will hold the throttle, are experts in
their line and the most careful engineers
we have ever known, Two trains will

The Supreme court of Georgia has ren

ductors must take them up.
The success of the exposition depends
very much ou the weather during the
fall. We hope the weather will be all
that the management could wish.
The present weather is very destruct
ive to fodder and we fear that the crop
will not be harvested in as good condi
tion as the farmers desire.
The Atlanta Constitution, of last
Wednesday, was replete with the news
of the country, besides having a half
dozen good editorials on various topics.
The Constitution is a hustler.
The exposition management have de
cided not to have the mucli-talked-of
bull fight. They decided that it would
be to the best interest of the exposition
not to liaye it.
The report comes from the farmers
over the State that their cotton is shed
ding very rapidly and in some sections
the crop is almost ruined. We hope
that a small crop may bring a good
price.
It has been recently discovered in the
executive department of the state that
the governor lias the right to select
twenty young men to be students at a
Medical college free of any cost to those
appointed.
A negro has been lynched recently in
Ohio in broad day light by a mob of
white people who wore no masks. It

Some time in the near future the
Georgia Midland & Gulf road will be

The management of the road have an

nothing definite lias been done until

The Cotton States and International
Exposition Company has a long law suit
on hand. Some manufacturer from
Brooklyn, N. Y., is sueing the company
for SII,OOO damages. The exposition
company refused them space for exhib
its for some reason not satisfactory to
the boiler company—hence the suit.
We have seen numerous notices of
of deaths from lightning recently. It
has been especially destructive during
the summer. Electric storms have
occurred very frequently and have
been often attended by disastrous re
sults.
The market reports from Texas state
that the cotton crop in that state will
be shorter than ever was known before.
The crop last year reached 3,300,000
and this year the crop is estimated at
2,300,000. This is quite a reduction in
the total crop and will tend to materi
ally affect the price of cotton.
The directors of the Consolidated
Street railway, of Atlanta, have de
cided to charge a fare of ten cents to
the exposition grounds. They say that
they have gone to a good deal of trou
ble to accommodate the people and
they are obliged to charge the above
fare.
National Debt of the World.
Tire public debt of the United States
amounts to $27.74 per capita of popu

that of Germany is $57/30. Next comes
Italy with $66.50, Austria Hungary with
$83.79, England with $83.79. France
comes up with an indebtedness of
$125.78 per capita and such is the recu
perative power of the French people
that this enormous debt is carried and
is being discharged with comparative
ease.
