Our paper this week comes out well
patronized by our merchants of Jackson.
If a merchant cares enough for your
trade to ask you for it through a news
paper you should patronize him. All
live, enterprising merchauts advertise,
and it is only at their places of business
that bargains are always found.
It has been given to us that a young
man from the country who recently ac
cepted a position with a firm in Jack
son as clerk, upon being sent out for his
employer’s mail one day last week went
out and tackled the mail box in front of
Dr. Crum’s store, and was trying to fit
his post office key in the lock, when a
bystander directed him the way to the
post office.
Professor C. R. Thompson’s school at
Forsyth, the R. Banks Stephens Insti

stows upon Professor Thompson a very
high compliment upon his ability as a
teacher and orator. We desire to state
that the compliment was well deserved,
for there is not a better instructor in
the state than Professor Carle Rosse
Thompson.
The Argus acknowleges the receipt
of a handsome box of flowers, a gift
from our young nurseryman, Mr. W.
I. Wagner, the hustling and enter
prising proprietor of the Dingle Dell
nurseries, located near Jackson. It’s
pretty tough, Billy, that the only
flowers we ever receive are the favors
of our male friends, but we have grown
accustomed to appreciating them as
much as if they had come from other
sources.
The Baptist church had quite an in
teresting meeting Sunday. Dr. Gard
ner preached one of those sound gos
pel sermons for which he is noted and
it fell on willing and eager ears. A
number of the brethren expressed
themselves as having been greatly
benefited by the services. After the
congregation was dismissed the
preacher stated we should come pre
pared next Sunday for a mission of
fering, in consideration of the meet
ing of the Flint River Association in
McDonough to which delegates had
been elected. The brethren gave $52
before they left the house and others
who were not present has given since.
The church is in fine condition.
Any one who has ever tried to keep
step in walking with a young lady who
has one of those peculiar gaits of car
riage known as the “swinging quick
step,” will realize how difficult is such
an undertaking. Our attention was
called to a couple in this predica
ment a few days since and it was
really amusing to see how hard the
embarrased young man strived to
catch step with the young lady. It
furnished comment to the onlookers,
and one of those standing by re
marked : “If I was that young ladj%
I would change my walk if I had to
resort to a surgical operation to do it.”
Of course Jackson has a number of
these young ladies so afflicted and
there is nothing in this allusion that
can be construed so as to be personal
ly taken by anyone.
A Good Citizen.
Jackson has reason to congratulate
herself upon receiving such citizens in
her midst as Mr. W. F. Combs, who
recently moved here from Macon.
Here are some extracts from his home
papers:
“Mr. W. F. Combs and family have
removed from Macon to Jackson.
Maconites will greatly regret the de
parture of this splendid family and
the young folks will greatly miss Miss
Alberta, who is one of the most popu
lar young ladies of the city.”—Macon
Telegraph.
“Mr. W. F. Combs, law agent of
the Southern Railway, has moved his
family to Jackson, where they will re
side in future. Mr. Combs is one of
Macon’s most public spirited and
popular citizens, and he has a most
interesting family. They will prove
a valuable acquisition to Jackson’s
social life. Mr. Combs will continue
to make his headquarters in Macon.”

Eight Pages.
The Argus comes out this week
with eight pages. The increase of
business demanded this increase of
size. We propose to continue giving
the people the best paper possible
and they may always expect good
things from the Argus, We will
never cease in our efforts to please
the people. Read the Argus —every
line will interest you.
Notice.
To those of my customers whose
notes and accounts were brought over
from last fall I beg to say this was
done at a great inconvenience to me,
but owing to the low price of cotton I
accepted the conditions and did the
best I could under the circumstances
without disturbing you. Now I have
some early obligations to meet, occas
ioned by you not meeting yours with
me last fall. Don’t you think its
nothing but reasonable and right that
I should expect an early settlement
from you, even before you pay any of
your this year’s debts. lam expect
ing it. Will you disappoint me? I
think not. Because I may have be
friended you in a more critical time
than now. Respectfully,
J. R. Carmichael.
A New Stable.
Jackson has long needed a first class
livery stable, and now this dream of
anxious waiting is to be realized in its
fullest sense.
The firm of Thornton tfc Fossett has
been dissolved, and on Wednesday of
this week Mr. J. J. Thornton went up
to Atlanta, where he purchased sev
eral new vehicles, and a sufficient
amount of nice stock to supply the
wants of his customers in this line.
Among other things secured for liis
stable was a handsome topless car
riage to be used exclusively for after
noon driving by the “upper ten” of
society circles.
Mr. Thornton has been reared in
the livery business and knows exactly
what is required to please his patrons,
and will spare neither pains nor ex
pense in fitting up such a livery stable
as will be a pride to Jackson and a
pleasure to those who patronize him.
