The Progress is indebted to its
correspondents. It realizes its
need of their services. It wants
to become a real county paper.
It wants to be loved by every
home in the county, and it ap
preciates, therefore, the cooper
ation of its correspondents. Ac
cordingly we want them to spend
a gloriously pleasant day given in
their honor.
In our next issue vve will have
something to say on Mr. Watson;

You Will Be Able

NUMBER 32
BIG AUCTION SALE AT
DOUGLAS HEIGHTS
TUESDAY, AUG, 18
Throughout this edition of The
Progress will be found adver
tisements of the auction sale of.
land lots which is to take place
Tuesday, August 18th, at Doug
las Heights on the Flovilla and
Indian Springs railway about
mid-way between the two places.
These lots are being offered for
sale by Butts County’s well and
favorably known citizens, Mr.
W. F. Smith and his son S. P.
Smith of Flovilla. These gentle
men have secured the services of
Mr. W. I. Phillips, of Florida,
as auctioneer, and on, the day of
sale offer a good time as well as
an unusual financial opportunity.
There is no denying the fact
that the lots which will be .sold
at this auction sale deserves the
serious attention of men who are
looking for something valuable,
something that w ill be more val
uable in the future; something
that somebody else will want.
Already people who have
bought lots in Douglas Heights
have been offered much more
than they gave.
Captain' Smith has strong hopes
for the increased value of these
lots; and when one remembers
how the Captain a few years ago
looked into the now-present fu
ture and saw a great big million
dollar dam bucking the waters
of the Ocmulgee, one may well
iisten to him now when he speaks
for the future of Douglas
Heights.
We Are Not Trying to Unload
An undesirable piece of proper
ty by offering lots at auction in
to Indian Springs will always
keep lots in this neighborhood in
demand. This is a proposition
of merit, and it mu3t be remem
bered that only a certain number
of lots will be sold at auction
Tuesday August 18th, at 10 a. m.
