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. ♦ 4c 4c 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.” ♦ 4c * 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! 4c 4c * Deputy Sheriff Stroud says: “Your paper is greatly apprecu ted. The people are proud of it. ’ ’ 4c 4c 4c Mr. J. T. Williamson of Jen kinsburg, says: “The Progress is the best paper we have had in Butts county since I have been grown.” 4c * * * Rev. S. P.

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.
