Jackson, Ga., Friday, Jan. 7, 1910. Mary’s Little Worm. Mary had a little worm, Its hooks were sharp as steel, And everywhere that Mary went It hooked her in the heel. It followed her to school one day, It was against the rule To see jMior Majy double up And act so like a ‘•phool.” 80 the teacher turned her oil', And lustily did shout, “And the hookworm will get you, If you don’t watch out!” 1910. Pull for Jackson or pull out. We want to hear more of the new depot. . Hats off now for a Greater Jackson in 1910. Listen for the ring of the trol ley before the year is out. At any rate let’s hope Jackson will have street cars for Santa Claus next Christmas. It is about this season that father rises to remark that once a year is often enough for Christ mas. There are already thirteen can didates in the field in Toombs county. Is there no way to head them off ? As we stand at the beginning of anew year let us all get squarely behind the new depot •movement. When our farmers plant grain they are sowing good seed that will bring them prosperity and happiness. Now that it is all over but the bill-paying let us get together and work for the upbuilding of our section. Jackson didn’t get her stock ing filled with the new depot but here’s hoping that she will land it this year. If you want to leave your child a priceless heritage lend your moral and financial support to the county’s schools. There is every reason to be lieve that 1910 will be the great est year in the history of Jackson and Butts county. The people are completely recovered from the effects of the panic and are prosperous. An abundance of cheap water power, soon availa ble, looks good for some new en terprises. BUTTS COUNTY PROGRESS, JACKSON, GA., FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1910. It will soon be time to worry about the fruit crop and this leads one to wonder if the peach es will ne affected by the hook worm. The state ought to see to it that the country school teachers are paid off this year in time to have a little spending money at Christmas. The next man that discovers the north pole will have to bring it back with him to convince the people, so unfortunate has Dr. Cook been in his claims. This is the year we want new enterprises, new schools, a trol ley line, anew depot and united effort to make 1910 a banner year. Get busy now and bolster up your new year’s resolutions and remember to resolve to put in a good year for your town and county. Every city in the state has open saloons, remarks the Nash vii>. Ga., Herald. We guess it knows what it is talking about, though it seems this would be hard to prove. “The Wiregrass Country’’ is the name of a monthly magazine published at Fitzgerald with Jno. W. Greer as editor. It is devo ted to the upbuilding of the wire grass country. What is the truth about the state of the treasury? One side says the state is in the hole and the other side claims it has a lot of money to the good. The peo ple would like to know the truth about the matter. It will not be long now before the census will be taken. The figures will show a wonderful in crease in population in Butts county. It is believed the popu lation will give us two represen tatives in the legislature. The Athens Banner says the Louisiana farmers are feeding the boll weevil on powdered ar senite of lead and that this ,reat ment is killing the insects in most instances. This should wipe out even the hook worm. All the bills have been paid, maybe, all the headaches are well, all the new year resolutions made —and broken, who knows — and now let us all get right to gether and make this a good year for Jackson and Butts county. Jackson is not and cannot be anything but what the people make it. Public spirit and pro gressive spirit, together with the natural resources of this section will place Jackson and Butts in the lead. Line up early in the year. To the candidates who will soon be announcing for county office we have but one thing to say, and that is we will be hon est, fair and impartial with them all. We hope the best citizens, the best suited for the different offices, will announce and be elected. There is more patriot ism than money in many offices and after a man has done his 1 best he gets a lot of cussing and abuse. — ,| Try a Progress want ad—one' cent a word. “DAD, HERE’S TO YOU.” “We happened in a home the other night, and over the parlor door saw the legend worked in letters of red, ‘What is Home Without a Mother?’ Across the room was another brief, ‘God Bless Our Home.’ “K ;w, what’s the matter with 'God Bless Our Dad.’ He gets up early, lights the fire, boils an egg, and wipes off the dew of the dawn with his boots, while many a mother is sleeping. He makes the weekly hand-out for the butcher, the grocer, the milk man and baker, and his pile is badly worn before he has been home an hour. “If them* is a noise during the ■e night dad is kicked in the back and made to go down stairs to find the burglar and kill him. Mother darns the socks, but dad bought the socks in the first place, and the needles and the yarn afterward. Mother does up the fruit; well, dad bought it all, and jars and sugar cost like the mischief. “Dad buys the chickens for the Sunday dinner, carves them him self and draws the neck from the ruins after every one else is .served. ‘What is Home Without a Mother?’ Yes, that is all right; but what is home without a fath er.
