Bins COUNT! PROGRESS Published Every Friday. J. DOYLE JONES, Editor and Pub. Subscription $1 a Year Entered aa second-class matter, Novem ber 8,1907, at tlie postofflceat Jackson, Ga. Telephone No. 166. Communications are ■welcomed. Cor respondents will please confine them selves to 300 words, as communications over that length cannot be handled. Write on one side of the paper only, sign your name, not for publication, but as an evidence of good faith. Clean up, paint up. Don’t forget to boost that county fair. Remember clean up day, May 26 and get ready for it. Joe Brown is again writing some ©f those spicy cards. The sweet girl graduate, slit skirt and all, will soon be in ouri midst. Reports from the blackberry crop are reassuring to the coun try editor. Regardless of dry weather there seems to be a good stand of candidates for every office. The man who doesn’t read and pay for his county paper is a j pretty poor specimen. Watch! him. From the sublime to the ridicu lous expresses Burns’ connection with the famous Atlanta crimi nal case. Why not a school fair for Butts county? Other counties are hav them. Butts is entitled to the best of everything. Little Joe is not saying- much, except writing a few cards, but he is sawing a tremendous lot of good timber. Mark it. We still want to know who will be left to do the voting when a few more favorite sons get in the race for governor. Butts county will probably show a substantial increase in tax returns this year. The coun ty is forging to the front all the time. Atlanta entertains the Shriners of North America next week. This is the largest and most im portant gathering ever brought to Georgia. Census figures indicate that Augusta has passed Macon in population, but Macon is making up for the shortage by furnishing a lot of candidates. According to a government census estimate, the population of Atlanta is 179,000, a gain of 25,000 in four years. This is at the rate of 6,250 a year. If you want to see Jackson cleaned up and put in a sanitary condition, support the Civic Im provement League. The mem bers of the association are enti tled to the encouragement of every citizen of the city. With good roads, two large water power plants and Indian Springs, the state’s most famous health resort, Butts county has a number of attractions worth while. The money derived from the automobile tax will be prorated among the several counties, but the fund will not be divided be fore the meeting of the legisla ture, it is said. The various candidates for im portant offices are showing a dis position this year, more than ev er before, to put their announce ments in the country newspa ers. This is as it should be. In this way and in this way only can they hope to reach the great mass of voters. The country newspaper is the best advertis ing medium and the candidate as well as the business world is finding this out. Little Lesson in Comparison. Mr. Skeptic: Does advertising pay? Perhaps you think not, be cause you have never tried it. Perhaps you think its money thrown away, but that’s because you don’t know. Coca-Cola is what it is today because of the extensive adver tising campaigns to make it known. Other articles that are recognized as household neces sities are so regarded because they have been extensively ad vertised. It certainly pays. A certain corporation wanted to see for it self the value of newspaper ad vertising. So, it selected eight een towns at random, ft picked one dealer that advertised in each town, then selected three or four in each town that did not. When all the names were written down eighteen advertisers were shown and 56 non-advertisers. Then the amount of business was compared. The eighteen dealers did nearly twice as much as did the fifty-six. Twice as much business among one-third as many dealers. Shouldn’t this be convincing? And the country newspaper is the best advertising medium of all. It is the paper that goes in to the homes and because of the local news is the paper that is more closely read. The big con cerns are realizing that they have neglected their most fertile field when they ignore the country weeklies, but a change is coming now. The big foreign advertis ers are using them. So, it behooves the local mer chants to put on their thinking caps; to quit kicking against the inevitable. — And advertise.—Exchange. A TEXAS WONDER.
