VOL XXXIII.
Dr. Tigner,one of Atlanta’s leading
lights in the dental profession, spent
Sunday in Jackson visiting the family
of Mr. S. H. Morgan.
Mr. A. C. Millen, who was burned
out at Flovilla last Sunday night
says he is going to move from his
present location and may come to
Jackson. We hope he will make up
his mind to make the move.
Bob Etheridge never went to New
York last week, and says he has been
“Groce-ly” misrepresented, as he
never had the remotest idea of going
at all. His heart is bowed down with
grief, however, since the departure
for South Georgia of a certain hand
some young lady.
Mr. F. S. Etheridge didn’t get off
with the excursionists on their trip to
New York last week. He made a
business visit to West Point Thursday
night of last week and returned home
sick, since which time up to Monday
of this week he was confined to his
room. We are pleased to note that
he has recovered from his illness, how
ever, and is again at his post in the
Jackson Banking Co.’s office.
We know of a certain society belle
in Jackson who has been busily en
gaged for the past two weeks in can
ning and preserving a considerable
amount of fruit, and if signs are any
criterion to judge by, we are of the
opinion that she is preparing for mat
rimony, as no single person will ever
need one hundred cans of peaches and
forty-seven jars of preserved pears
simply for her own use. Joe Wright
says it “looks kinder serspicious to
him,” and when Joe fixes his eyes on
a thing it must certainly mean some
thing. At any rate, whoever wins
the fruit will also get a most lovable
wife, and we congratulate the suc
cessful contestant, whoever he may
be.
Coionels M. M. Mills and B. P. Bai
ley have entered into partnership in
the practice of law and will hereafter
be found in the office of Mills & Bar
ley*, up-stairs in the Watkins build
ing. These gentlemen are well up in
their profession and all business en
trusted to their care will receive
prompt attention. XVe predict for
them great success in their undertak
ing, as they both stood most credit
able examinations upon their admit
tance to the bar, and their friends
in Jackson are numbered by their
acquaintances. The Argus gladly
recommends this firm to the people
of Butts county and wishes for them
a bright and successful career.
We regret to learn of the death of
Mrs. John Howard of Bibb county,
which sad event occurred at the res
idence of her husband in that place
on Saturday night last. Mrs. How
ard was formerly Miss Florence Ca
ter, and was the sister of Mr. F. S.
Cater, recently elected cashier of the
Jackson Banking Cos., of this city.
The death was an exceedingly sad
one, inasmuch as Mr. Cater had just
received a telegram on Saturday sta
ting that his sister was sicK, but it
was not of such a nature as to war
rant his immediate departure to the
bedside of his relative, and the first
intimation he afterward received of
her death was a lengthy article in
the Macon Telegraph of Monday
morning. We extend our deepest
sympathies to this gentleman in his
bereavement.
Jtumor has it that cupid has fasten
ed his dart in the person of our effici
ent tax receiver, Mr. J. Howard Ham.
Whether this be true or not we are
certain of one fact. Mr. Ham has
been living in Butts county for the
past thirty-five years and it is just a
recent thing that Indian Spring water
has formed such a fascination for
him that he visits that resort quite
often here of late, and it is only that
when he is in company with one of
our most lovable young widows that
the water tastes right to him. For
thirty-eight years this poor, innocent
Indian Spring has daily gone through
k a routine of wandering noise
lessly through its submarine
passage in the historic rocks Of its
native heath, bathing the moss cov
ered stones of an underground bed in
its onward course to the Big Sandy;
but alas, it possessed no charms for
Howard Ham, until the beaming
smiles of this lovable lady came to its
rescue and restored the charms which
have lain dormant for 10, these many
years. We congratulate Indian
Spring upon its successful mission,
and sincerely trust that ere the dawn
of another thirty-eight years it may
again succeed in restoring its lost af
fection in the heart of some deserving
widower who has strayed from the
beaten paths of admiration and rested
k upon the abyss of melancholy and
■despair.

We learn that Mr. Newton J. Har

being admitted to the bar.
Mrs. Lizzie Burden, of the Central
City, daughter of Mrs. Brady, of
Jackson, is visiting in the city.
Mrs. Janie Carver, of Atlanta, Is

Quite a number of Jacksonians
made nightly visits to the Holiness
Camp Ground this week in order to
attend the services.
The marshals are now overseeing a
force of street hands who are , doing
some good work in beautifying Jack
son’s thoroughfares.
There will be no services at the
Methodist church in Jackson on Sun

We have a real live correspondent at
that place and he will keep you in

“Uncle Eben” we extend you the

Beauregard Moore has resigned the
position of marshal of Jackson and
has been succeeded by J. -R. Lyons,
w r ho will act in that capacity until
September Ist, when he will accept a
position at the Star Store. Beaure
gard has moved to the country and
will go to farming.
Third street has some of the pretti
est young lady residents of any street
of a like population in Georgia. We
don’t mean to say by this that there
are no others in Jackson outside of
this thoroughfare, however. For
there are some very beautiful girls
■cattered all over the city, and a
ypung man who can live twelve
months in Jackson without getting
married should be required to join
the “Hoo Doo” club and retired to
private life—our young unmarried ed
itor to the contrary, notwithstanding.
The following people from Jackson
are tenting at the Holiness Camp
Ground this week and enjoying the
services of the able ministers assem
bled there for the dissemination of
good to the multitudes: Mrs. J. W.
Crum, Mrs. Heflin, Mrs. S. H. Mor
gan, Mrs. J. D. Valentino, Miss Marie
McMichael, and others. Undoubted
ly a number more will go down in
the near future and join those al
ready, there. The nightly meetings
are being well attended by the people
of Jackson, who go down and return
home after services.
The tent meeting which has been
conducted by Rev. J. W. Blosser and
family, assisted by Rev. Clement C.
Carey, was brought to a close on
Tuesday night of this week. There is
no doubting the fact that this meet
ing has resulted in great good to our
community and though there was not
much outward show of enthusiasm by
those in attendance we are satisfied
that it has set the fires of deep
thought burning in the hearts of a
great many sinners and soon this ex
pression will be manifested by new
acquisitions to the church. We de
sire to state that the able ministers
did all in their power for the conver
sion of souls, and the seemingly cold
fervor which pervaded the'meeting
was certainly caused by no action of
theirs. The sinners of this commu
nity are exceedingly hard to move,
but one day or other the scenes of
this meeting will again be brought
before them, and probably at a time
when they will wish that they had
accepted some of the open invitations
so generously extended them. Rev.
J. W. Blosser is spending this week
at the Holiness Camp Ground and
next week he will open a meeting at
McDonough.

Prof. N. W. Hurst, principal of the
Flo villa High School, spent Satur

people of Flovilla should congratu
late themselves upon securing the
services of such a scholarly instructor.
The ladies of the Methodist de
nomination cleaned up the interior
of their church on Monday of this
week while the Denches which were
used at the tent meeting were out

is a very commodious structure and
now 7 presents a neat and comfort
able appearance.
Arthur Steward, proprietor of the

We disliKe very much to have Ar

will be for his interest.
Three of the prisoners convicted at
the last session of the court were
turned over to the guard from the
Chattahoochee brick company’s plant

There are only three prisoners in the
jail at present, and they will un
doubtedly be disposed of in a short
while.
The fall term of Jackson Institute
begins next Monday, September 2d.
Every patron of the school should
enter his children on the opening
day, as it saves much time and
trouble to the teachers and will also
in a degree benefit the pupil. Bear
this in mind and start your child to
school next Monday morning.
There will be a meeting of all the
Bi-metallic leagues at the court
house in Jackson, on Saturday Sep
tember 7,1895. All believers in Bi
metalism and friends of silver are
earnestly requested to be present and
participate in the meeting. And ev
erybody, whether they favor silver or
not, is extended a cordial welcome.
Remember the date and time, Satur
day, September 7th, 10 o’clock a. m.
at the court house in Jackson.
The council should have some labels
printed and pasted on the lamp posts
around the square stating that they
are street lamps. And they should
also request the person who lights
them up to carry along a bell and ev
ery time he lights one of the things
make him ring it, so as the people
will know when they are lighted, as
it may save some poor mortal from
running into one of them some of
these nights and butting their brains
out. The safest way to travel around
town at night, however, is for the
wayfaring pedestrian to arm himself
with a box of matches and when he
gets to a corner he can strike up a
few of them until he finds the lamps
then he is out of danger. The match
es can be had at any of our retail
stores six boxes for twenty-five cents.
This comes cheaper than accident in
surance, but you had better carry
one or the other along with you.
Mr. Pack Watkins, who has had his
thoroughbred mare, Rosa Wilkes, in
training at Milledgeville for the past
few weeks, informs us that she paced
a half mile on the Milledgeville track
after two weeks training in 1:18, and
made the mile in 2:26 with all ease.
Three watches were held on her by
disinterested parties and the time
was exactly the same by all of them.
Rosa is a coal black mare and a beau
tiful animal. While she was at Ea
ton ton Mr. Watkins states that she
went up against Burleigh and beat
that horse, along with two others
from New Y'ork. Parties in Eaton
ton and Milledgeville state that she
is the best piece of horseflesh that
has been in those cities in a good
while. Mr. Watkins intends enter
ing her upon the Macon track during
the races this fall, and we are of the
opinion that if he does Butts county
will have some Macon money brought
back home as a result of the contest.

Our Warehouse*.
Jackson will have plenty of room to

facilities are far above the average and
ve hope the farmers will be the gainers
by these numerous accommodations.
There will be four warehouses and plen
ty of cotton buyers with an abundance
>f free silver and greenbacks to pay

is steadily rising and we think our farm
er frieuds need have no fears of extreme
ly low prices such as prevailed last sea
son.
We, the undersigned merchants of
Jackson, agree to extend the agreement

Our Cemetery.
If there is any spot dear to our hearts
it is the city of the dead. There are
very few of us who haye not some dear
treasure lying beneath the "4od in yon
der burying ground. Some precious
little innocent it may be, or a godly fa
ther, or a sainted mother, whose mem
ory is blessed in our hearts. How very
thoughtful then should we be of these
departed loved ones who have ceased
to live and move among us.
Their last resting place should not be
neglected to grow up in thorns and this
tles. Their graves should be kept with
all neatness and the green grass that
grows upon them should be the sig
nificat that their memory is fresh and
alive in our hearts.
Although we have no personal inter
est in that burial ground over the way,
yet we were very much pained to see
the negligence with which the cemetery
is kept. When the death of these de
parted loved ones was fresh in onr
minds we vowed, no doubt, that their
graves should be kept ever green by
tender and loving hands, bat as time,
the great panacea for all trials, passed
over us, our ardent affections for the
dead ceased to be alive in our bosoms
and indifference gave way to neglect and
consequently the spots which formerly
were kept green and aliye haye become
the rich soil for foreign growth.
Some of the priyate lots are kept in
perfect order and neatness, but the
greater part of the cemetery has grown
up in weeds and grass.
We call upon those who have lots
there to keep them cleaned off at least
two or three times a year.
Some parts of these grounds present
a perfect wilderness of under brush and
the site of the graves are hard to
identify.
Our eity of the dead above all places
around the town should be attended to
witb much diligence. The cemetery
should not be neglected to grow up in
to thorns and thistles as some of it now
appears.
Perhaps there are some bodies buried
there who have no relatives to look af
ter their graves. Some kind friend
should have the work done. This is the
only and the last respect we can show
the dead and we should not neglect
these little affections. We hope the good
people of Jackson will take up this
matter and make a decided improve
ment in the appearance of our city
cemetery.
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 to better advantage on my
farm is the only reason I want to
make the exchange. Will trade
square and do not invite sharpers.

Needed Improvements.
If the recommendations of the grand
jury, which appear in this issue, be car
ried out by the people there will be
some improvements made in the county
which are very much needed. The first
recommendation made is in reference to
the pablic roads. Everyone knows that
our roads are always in a bad condition
Dearly the year round. If there is any
thing needed in the state of Georgia it is
good roads. We kuow of no other im
provement that oould be made by the
county that would so satisfy the farmers
as good roads. Now the question arises,
could good roads be maintained by con
vict labor as the number is very small
for each year.
However, with the usual work giveu
the road by the commissioners aud a
small additional expense for the same
purpose the roads may be put in such a
condition as that the convict labor
would be sufficient to keep them in good
repair. If there be any reasonable way
by wbioh the roads could be put in bet
ter condition and kept so we arc heartily
in favor of it.
Another recommendation which
strikes us as being advisable is the es
tablishment of a county court with a
fixed salary of the judge. It was shown
by the recommendations of the last
grandjury that to have such a court
would save the county quite a sum on
jail fees alone. Then by allowing the
judge a stipulated salary there would be
no cause for hunting up cases to increase
the emoluments of the office. We hope
our representative will look after this
matter dnring the coming session.
The grandjury felt that they could
not adjouru without recommending the
construction of anew courthouse. The
method by which the house is proposed
to be erected will be found in the pre
sentments. By this means we see that
the real cost to the county would not be
such a great sum and this amouut can
be readily raised without being felt even
by the largest tax payers.
The square on which the present
courthouse stands should be purchased
by the city and converted into a nice
park which would be of value to the
town in the way of a public park.
If it is uot practicable to build the
structure near the jail it could replace
the present building or be placed in
some other position.
We hope the people will carefully con
sider this recomendation in regard to the
courthouse and if possible to vote for the
issuing of bonds when the matter is put
before the people. We need the court
house, why wait longer to build it.
GRAND JURY PRESENTMENTS.
We, the grand jurors drawn, chosen
and sworn for the August term of Butts
Superior court, make the following gen
eral presentments:
We find the public roads no better nor
worse than they have been for several
years. Nor do we believe under our
present system they can ever be made
good. We recommend that our repre
sentative have enacted such road law for
our county as is now in force in Bibb
county, with such improvements as he
or our ordinary may think proper. We
recommend that a good road be made
from the bridge near the railroad depot
at Indian Springs by the residence of
Mrs. Dr. Bryans. We recommend that
a bridge be built across Sandy Creek on
the road from Indian Springs to Ocmul
gee Mills, cost not to exceed S4OO. One
across Yellow Water creek at Hodges
mill not to cost more than $l5O, and one
over Coney Fork Creek near the resi-
dence of Mrs. Fears for SSO or less. We
visited the jail in a body and are pleased
with the way it is kept. We recommend
that L. D. McKinley be continued as
superintendent of the poor farm and
that a physician be employed by con
tract for one year. We have examined
the dockets of the justice of the peace,
and the books and papers of all the coun
ty officers from where the last grand
jury wrote their approval and find them
correct. We recommend that W. F.
Douglas he reappointed notary public for
the Indian Springs district.
We recommend that our representative
have enacted a law establishing a coun
ty court with the judges salary fixed at
$250. We recommend that B. H. Rawls,
J. M. Currie, Obediah Hendrick, Meade
Hendrick, and L. J. Ball be appointed a
committee of tax equalizers to meet in
vacation and examine the books of the
tax receiver.
We recommend that the ordinary sub
mit the question of issuing bonds to
build anew court house to the qualified
voters of the county and should the elec
tion result in favor of the issue, then he
shall have prepared ten bonds of SI,OOO
each, bearing interest at not more than
6 per cent one of which shall become
due January Ist, 1897, and one on the
same day of each year thereafter until
all are paid. No bond shall be sold for
less than its par value. The proceeds of
the sale of these bonds with the amount
obtained from the sale of the present
court house and lot provided that no less
sum than $5,000 must be accepted for the
same shall be used to build anew court
house on a lot near the jail if such lot
can he purchased for a maximum price
of SI,OOO. We further recommend that
the judge ef the superior court appoint
three commissioner*, one of whom shall
be the ordinary, who shall have entire
control of the business of building of
said court house. We recommend that
possession of the present court house be
retained until new on# is finished.
We reccommeud that our representa-
tive work aud vote for the passage of
the Bush or anti-barroom bill. The
greater part of our time has been em
ployed investigating yiolations ©f the
prohibition law and we find it extremely
difficult to secure evidence against par
ties who we are informed have purchased
license from the United States govern
ment to retail liquors. We recommend
that the ordinary use the couuty fuuds
to detect these parties as the ageuts of
the internal revenue use the government
funds.
We reoommend that jurors and bailiffs
be paid $2.00 per day for their services.
We reeommeud that these preseut
presencmeuts be published in the Jack
son Argus and the editors be paid SIO.OO
for same.
In taking leave of his honor Judge
Beok and Solicitor Bloodworth we ten
der them our thanks for tlieir kiuduess
and assistance.

friends and admirers here who will
always extend him a cordial welcome.
