JACKSON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1895.
Jackson, Ga.,
We are pained to learn of the death
of Mrs. Evans Watkins, who died yes
terday. She was young and her life
was one of religious Christian influ
ence. She was buried today.
Mr. Joe Wright, our popular towns
man, took quite an interesting crowd
of young ladies down* to the spring
last night. The time was very pleas
antly spent, but we learn that Mr.
Wright came in this morning by way
of Locust Grove with his hack empty.
ill fated luck befell this joyous
crew we have not been able to ascer
tain.
“Wash Guthrie” alias “Wash the
Eater” alias “Speckled Wash,” is in
trouble again. This time it happen
ed in Mr. Fouche’s town. McDonough.
It seems that “Wash” was out wad
ing around in the dark, and as this is
the first large city he has struck since
leaving Jackson, he slipped his bear
ings and got lost. Here’s how it hap
pened: i‘lf it was not for letting
Bro. McDonald of the J arson Argus
get hold of it, we would tell liow
Guthrie got lost in McDonough one
night last week with his young lady
(also a stranger) friend, and had to
offer a reward for a passing pedestrian
to tell him where he was, after wan
dering around some time on the wrong
street. Lookout, “Guth,” or we are
afraid “Me” will be ‘on to you.” ”
Henry County Weekly. Bro. Fouehe,
we suggest that you put a bell on
him.
FOR EXCHANGE.
I have aXo. 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.

*‘Butts County Buster” Busted.
The democratic silver paper that
was to have made its appearance in
Jackson, from some unknown cause,
has “gone the way of all earth.” Af
ter the ides of November, 1896, there
will he lots of demo-pluto-silver and
goldbug sheets that will pass into the
unknown realms of obscurity without
even a head-board to mark the place
where their rotten democratic repub
lican carcasses lie. Peace to their
ashes!” —National Headlight.
For the Senate.
As it is Butts county’s time in regu
lar rotation to elect a senator from
the Twenty-sixth Senatorial district,
we propose to name a gentleman
whom we would like very much to
have represent us in the capacity of
senator. The person whom we have
in view'is one of the best posted men
on current events in the state. He is
a man of fine business sense, just such
as we need in the state senate. The
person whom we propose to put before
the people as a candidate is no other
than our fellow townsman Mr. W. M.
Mallett. Our readers will at once
recognize his eminent qualifications
and fitness for the place we have nam
ed him.
We are sure there can be no better
man put before the people for their
suffrage. Mr. Mallett is true to his
convictions and will stand for all that
is to the best and noblest interests of
his constituents. It is some time yet
before this election but it always is in
order to cast about for a suitable
man.
Whether Mr. Mallett will allow his
name to go before the people or not,
we cannot say. In any event we will
be glad to see this worthy man hon
ored with the senatorship from this
district.

I desire to express my profound
thanks for the kind favors shown me
by the people of Jackson and assure
them that their generosity shall long
be remembered by myself and family.
Very respectfully,

The Georgia. Legislature.
It is but a short time until the leg
islature meets and we have no doubt
but that the full forty days will be
taken up, yet there is very little busi
ness of state importance to come be
fore the house. The most important
bill that will come before the house
will be the anti-barroom bill. As us
ual the question of disposing of the
convict labor will no doubt come be
fore the body. The members will
have plenty of time to take in the ex
position.
Our Clever Officers.
It is the duty of all public servants
to be accommodating and courteous
in transacting business with the peo
ple. And we are willing to assert,
without fear of contradiction, that
Butts county is especially blessed
with just such public servants.
It is a pleasure to deal with such
officers as have control of our county
affairs. All information is given will
ingly and with all due courtesy by our
clerk, sheriff or ordinary. We believe
it will be a difficult matter to again ;
elect three other more accommodat- j
ing and obliging officers.
These are strict business men, yet
there is nothing stiff or formal in their
business transactions with the public.
One always feels at ease when in their
presence and there is nothing un
pleasant or disagreeable about them
or their offices. We are proud of
these good men and hope to see them
long in their respective offices.

The New Negro.
The negro buildipg at the Cotton
States and International Exposition
will be well filled with exhibits from
the hands of the negro race. They
have shown a lively interest in this
enterprise and their white neighbors
will be surprised to see such an ex
hibit. Garland Penn, the commis
sioner, said for his race a few days
since:
“We will show the rest of the world
anew negro. We want to show what
is being done for tue education of the
young negro, and we want to show
especially what the young man and
the old man are doing in every branch
of endeavor. Wa will show the work
of the schools. We will show how
the negro has become a factor in man
ufacturing and industrial pursuits,
and how he has opportunities in these
lines here in the south which he does
not have elsewhere. We will show
the negro as a merchant, as a banker
and as a conductor of big enterprises.
We will show the negro in art. There
wiil be books written by negroes,
newspapers published by them, and
painting and sculpture from their
hands.”
We have no doubt that this repre
sentation will be fulfilled and that
every negro who visits the exposiCon
will have reason to be proud of the
showing his race will make there.
Several parties have been arrested
recently for selling “white hops” in
and around the parks of Atlanta, but
the arresting officers have not been

those selling it.
