Prosperity Leagues are being
organized all over the country
in all of our larger cities. In
vestigations show that business
is rapidly becoming noi.nal, and
that the majority of factories,
railroad shops, general offices,
wholesale houses, etc., are work
ing their full quota of men full
time. Within three months this
country will find a greater de
mand than ever before for book
keepers, stenographers, and
operators, owing to the business
that has been allowed to accumu
late that must be moved and the
new business coming on caused
by the starting of factories, the
marketing of crops, progressive
moves in all industrial lines.
The demand upon the Employ
ment Bureau of the Athens
Business College of Athens, Ga.,
for bookkeepers and stenogra
phers has increased over 50 per
cent during the past week; many
excellent positions were offered
thmr graduates. This is es
pecially encouraging to young
people who have been contem
* plating entering school but have
hesitated, fearing that they
would not secure a position w'hen
their courses were finished. If I
were a young man or woman, I
would not wait another day; I
would enter school at once, even
if I had to borrow the money or
give the school a note for part
of my tuition. It is the young
man or woman who gets up and
does something thats gets some
where and amounts to some
thing this day and time. ,

CHANGING TIMES FOR HOLDING COURT.
If a change of the times of holding our spring and fall
courts-could be made without conflicting with the present
schedule of the other courts in this circuit, it would seem proper
that the change be made and at the present session of the leg
islature in order that it may take effect with the next cou”t.
We are at present holding court in the two most disagree
able months —the coldest and hottest February and August.
While it is true that these are the months in which the farm
ers can conveniently leave their labors, yety when considera-,
tion is taken of the damage done to stock rand vehicles by the
mud and general sorriness of the roads in February, and the
doctor hills—and sometimes death —which often follow expos
ure to the rains and coldness in attending 1 court in February, a
change to more temperate months, such as March and Septem
ber would seem entirely proper.
Besides the extreme hot weather of the August term, the
August calendar is rarely completed without an adjourned
term because of conflict with Monroe court. The adjourned
term would not be necessary if a change could be made to
suitable weeks in September or some other time when conflicts
with other courts would not exist.
We merely mention this matter believing a change could
be made which would benefit a large number of people, and if
this be impossible, a change would of course be wrong. We
believe the change should be made, however, and some action
should be taken immediately, if the people desire a better
arrangement. w
The Progress columns are of course, open to the views of
the people, and we would be glad to have an expression or two
from them along this line.
AN UNHEARD OF CLUBBING RATE.
For every cash in advance subscription to The Progress we
will make a present of a year’s subscription to Tom Watson’s
Weekly Jeffersonian, and for each $1.25 we will send The Pro
gress and Watson’s Monthly Jeffersonian Magazine one year.
This offer w 111 apply to renewal subscriptions also. In other
words, if you owe us SI.OO for back subscription, and will pay
up, we will give you absolutely free, a year’s subscription to
the Weekly Jeffersonian. If you owe us SI.OO and will add 25
cents, you will get Watson’s monthly Jeffersonian Magazine
one year free.
Surely this offer beats the record in the clubbing business,
foj- both the Weekly Jeffersonian and The Progress have
heretofore asked SI.OO each per year. So you get $2.00
for SI.OO. If you want the monthly Jeffersonian, you save
$1.25 by subscribing for both The Progress and the Magazine,
for the regular price of the Magazine is $1.50 and The Pro
gress SI.OO.
If you believe in economy here’s an oppo* niniv/. But
Remember —this offer will last only a few weeks, because
it is rather expensive and we cannot make it permanent. Come
to see us the very next time you are in town.

Vinegar
Caution
Vinegar, may be vinegar, or it may be some
thing else; and due regard for health demands
care in the purchase of this article of universal
consumption. Perhaps a so-called vinegar,
composed of acetic acid and water may not be
called strictly poisinous, but to use it is to treat
the delicate lining of one’s stomach rather
harshly, to say the least, while its strong
metallic taste destroys the flavor of everything
to which it is applied. Or if it is doctored
with tannic or sulphuric acid to improve its
flavor, then it is doubly dangerous because
more deceitful. It would seem, therefore,
that one’ only safe-guard is to
