THE MASTER'S MOOD
Twice did the Savior weep:
Wept once for human guilt,
O’er wicked-mad Jerusalem
The precious tear was spilt:
And when beside a new-made grat e
He stood with spirit meek,
A tear of sympathy for wo
Coursed down 11 is godly cheek.
Give unto me the Master’s mood,
The tear like JI is to flow,
Whether 1 look on human guilt
Or yet on human wo.
Let all my tenderness of soul
Be stirred by envious plight,
And pity for an erring one
Obscure his sin from sight.
—E. Y. Clarke.
Keep busy.
Get something started.
Street cars and then?
Oh for a slice of the North Pole.
Get behind Jackson and push
it along.
Street cars for Jackson. Well
that sounds good.
Just a month to work for the
colleges. Get busy.
If you want good roads now
is the time to say so,
The near beer license is now
the legistature’s friend.
Watch new enterprises come
to the county this fall.
With twenty minute sessions a
day the legislature is a joke.
For variety you have certainly
got to hand it to the weather man.
Come to Jackson for a cool and
inviting place to spend the sum
mer.
Now is the time to encourage
Captain Smith and his railroad.
Line up.
Jackson grows while other vil
lages around her sleep and play
checkers.
Say a good word for the Holi-
ness college. The county needs
these schools.
Feel proud of the increase in
Jackson’s post office receipts?
You ought to.
Jackson has a Colonel, too.
You can’t keep a good town in
the background.
The state is looking to the leg
islature to do something for good
roads in Georgia. |

BUTTS COUNTY PROGRESS, JACKSON, GA., FRIDAY, JULY 16, 1909.
We must get busy if we are to
land those colleges and we cer
tainly need them.
The Macon Telegraph says re
form didn’t do anything but
raise h—l and taxes.
Atlanta boasts of a policeman
that has become a solon. Rath
er reduced to ranks eh?
Fifteen cent cotton is predic
ted for this fall. Sounds good.
Better times are upon us.
We believe our farmers could
do no better thing than have a
farmers’ institute this summer.
They are writing insurance
by means of slot machines. You
are propably held up either way.
Put in six days of hard work
for Jackson and Butts county and
rest on the seventh thinking of
the good you have done.
The town that hasn’t a win
ning baseball team is not on the
map. Jackson is on the map in
baseball and everything else.
Jackson must do the right
thing by the members of the
Georgia Weekly Press when they
pass through here next week.
Without a peer in hospitality,
advantages and unsurpassed in
climate Butts county and Jackson
invite you to come and cast your
lot with them.
How about a soap factory, a
broom factory and a laundry as
new enterprises for Jackson?
Remember we want some big
payrolls in Jackson.
Real estate activity is a good
indication of growth. New and
modern buildings are proof posi
tive that Jackson is growing.
Just watch us grow.
Now all together for a great
home-coming week this fall. Let
us have a gathering to the fold of
all who once lived here but have
moved away. Get busy.
It may be thirty years but good
roads will come. If Butts county
wants to be behind the rest of
the state she can do it. The best
time to have good roads is now.
The high prices of foodstuffs
have taught the farmers one
great lesson—to live at home —
and the best grain crop in several
years has been raised in Butts
county.
Judge Speer met his match in
Judge Charlton of Savannah who
holds the same position as judge
of the superior court of Savannah
that his father and grandfather
before him held.
Macon has a suicidal mania
that threatens to wipe out her
population. She will never catch
up with Augusta as long as her
citizenscontinueto kill themselves
off at such a fearful rate.
Let the people of Butts county
and Jackson pull together and
work together. Their interests
are the same ane one common
purpose, the building up and de
velopment of the county, should
actuate our whole people, We
can do great things by united ac
tion. This is time of big oppor-1
tunities, a time when much de-1
pends on our understanding each I
other. Line up side by side. /
MODERN ADVERTISING
The advertising magazines are
full now of the plans of big ad
vertisers to take advantage of the
better times being ushered in.
The move is significant. It is the
thing that marks the difierence
between genius and mediocrity
among those who depend largely
upon publicity for their success.
When the leaders have taken the
cream of the renewed prosperity,
the more calculating ones will
come into the game and make a
valiant fight to overcome the
handicap of a late start. Still
others will be content to take the
crumbs after assuring themselves
with mathematical accuracy that
the time is ripe to do something.
Another bugaboo with timor
our advertisers is Summer. It is
his plaint that during the warm
season money is scarce and pur
chasers are less plentiful than in
the cooler months. The aggress
ive advertiser has shown this to
be a fallacy, but granting for the
sake of argument that business
is naturally duller in summer than
in winter, has renewed his efforts
to get it. This is logical: for if
there is less business, all the more
reason for those who want it to
go after it energetically.
An advertiser whose publicity
worldwide declares that he finds
summer advertising as profitable
if not more so than that of the
winter. The theory that money
is less plentiful than in the win
ter explodes with the query,
“What becomes of it, and whence
does it disappear?”
Asa matter of fact, the adver
tiser argues, people are outdoors
more in summer and are there
fore more tempted to spend.
Then, too, summer is the liberal
season, the time of vacations, the
time set apart for enjoyment, the
time when purchasers are less
calculating, and when they are
more liable to gratify their incli
nations to indulge themselves.
Not only is money present in the
same quantities as in winter, this
advertiser argues, but people are
more prone to buy, thus making
the summer a most seasonable
time for renewed activity in ad
vertising.

Thousands of San Francisco
PEOPLE ARE SORRY
That they did not have a safe deposit box
in some good bank. Thousands of others were
glad they could go to their safety deposit box
es and get their valuables, keepsakes, etc., in just
as good condition as they were before the great
fire.
Calamity may not be an earth
quake or a fire, but think of the peace of mind it
will afford to know your valuables are protected
THE LESSON TO YOU IS-
Rent a Safe Deposit Box from us,
in our new bank, in our modern vault.
