Kind Words
FROM OUR FRIENDS
One of the most appreciated
oompliments that The Progress
has received was that of Capt
W. F. Smith. He says: “You)
paper is bound to do the county
good. I can see that plainly—its
got a good ring to it and it’s go
ing to win.”
It’s going to do good! And it's
going to win! Says the captain
in substance. The captain was
informed that his prophesy con
tained the only two objects of
The Progress’ existence—we
want to do good and we want to
win.

His brother, S. J., had already
said that The Progress was a suc
cess and in his straight-to-the
point way of saying things, added:
“It’s the ‘roaringest’ paper Butts
has had in a long time.”

Mr. H. D. Crawford says his
wife sent him to town with orders
to call on The Progress and pay
his subscription and NEVER to
stop it. Of course the Progress
will win if we can get the women
behind it. Lay on McDuff!

Rev. S. P. Wiggins says in
passing: “You are still giving
us that neat paper.”
The above expressions are
typical of many others which
could be given if space permitted
We desire to state right here that
Butts county can have just as
good a weekly paper as exists in
the south if she will do her part.
We are here to deliver the goods,
but it costs something to make
the goods, and The Progress
guarantees to make the proper
grade and quality if the people
will do their part. We are striv
ing to do ours. Friends, how
about it? Drop in to see us.
