ABOUT
THE PROGRESS
Judge T. S. Hammond was in
to see the Progress and pay his
subscription recently, and as he
left he extended the glad hand,
saying:
“I just want to say in my
plain homespun fireside way that
you are printing a good paper.”
A good paper!
That sounds good to us, for it
is pleasant to know that one’s
efforts are appreciated, and the
Progress is thankful to Judge
Hammond for his compliment.

Our subscribers and non-sub
scriber friends will please re
member that the Progress ap
preciates every little kind word
said about us, even though we
never hear of it. The little cas
ual, accidental words of praise
have a larger influence than you
would at first suppose, and the
Progress urges it friends to pass
on the kind words to their neigh
bors.
The Progress wants a good
correspondent from every place
Butts county where something
can be found to write about. We
are anxious for each part of the
county to be represented in the
Progress and urge those who de
sire to venture into the journal
alistic to try their hand at once.
To our regular correspondents we
will furnish paper and envelopes
and also send the Progress free
as long as they remain with us.
Now try your hand for one week
and see how you come out!
In writing remember that the
Progress is a NEWS paper, and
that it wants, first of all, NEWS.
NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.
The postmaster general has is
sued an order effective January
1, 1908, which requires publish
ers of weekly papers to drop
from their subscription lists the
names of all subscribers whose
subscriptions are twelve months
or more in arrears. Cancella
tion of the paper's second-class
mail privilege is the penalty for
failure to comply with the rule.
A reasonable time will be allowed
for the publisher to get his sub
scription list in proper shape.
We have many names on our
list who have allowed their sub
scription to escape their notice.
To these we will send statements
and earnestly request a response
from every statement.
Now, readers of The Progress,
remember that we are trying our
best to give you a paper that you
will not regret paying for and
will greatly appreciate your
prompt attention to your sub
scription.
THE PEOPLE’S FORUM.
The Progress would have the people remember that its col
umns are wide open to them for discussion of public questions,
and we would not have them to forget that we are always wil
ling and anxious to give free publications to such articles.
There are many questions concerning Butts county and the
city of Jackson—which the people should be studying— for
"fhese questions demand solution and it is to the people’s inter
est that they be solved as soon as possible. Right here and
incidentally, The Progress would be glad to hear from some
of our citizens on the subject of Butts county’s issuing bonds
for the building of a good and permanent system of roads either
for or against.
While the columns of The Progress are open to the people for
general discussion, they are closed to useless personal thrust
and general mud slinging which always does more harm than
good.
