Middle Ga Argus
Life in Butts County

A Henry county gentleman was in Jackson the other day and said that he had 
recently been to McDonough and things were so quiet there that a hawk came 
right up on the public square and caught a chicken, and that the only life he 
saw was one man as he awoke and made a racket to scare the hawk away.

It is a fact, perhaps not often thought about by the people generally, that our 
people have almost entirely quit taking the advantage of their creditors by 
homestead exemptions.   No more than one time in a year are we called upon to 
publish a notice setting for the time a homestead right will be granted.

Arrangements are being made to have all the church bells in the land to ring at 
nine o’clock, April 20th, 1889, to celebrate the event of one hundred years 
ago, when the church bells throughout 13 states rang to call the people 
together to pray for the success of the country over which George Washington 
was inaugurated President on that day.  By all means let the day be observed in 
Jackson.
