How about that clean up cam
paign?
What are you doing to help the
county fair along?
Why not the second primary
plan for Georgia?
Join the Optimist Brigade and
cut out the war gab.
Macon almost had the capitol
for a day or two this week.
Don’t you think Jackson ought
to have a board of health and pay
more attention to sanitary con
ditions?
The war will not hurt the far
mer with a hog and hominy slo
gan. If you are not that kind
get right at once.
Macon had a hostile invasion
of her own this week —harmless
though as it was only the politi
cal hosts of the state.
Sit steady in the boat and de
termine to reduce your cotton
acreage by half next year. That
is the solution to the problem.
Jackson merchants should be
gin to plan for a brisk fall trade.
Their trade zone can be consider
ably enlarged by the right kind
of advertising.
Now is a good time to begin
raising some live stock. Butts
county ought to get rid of the
cattle tick and take up the live
stock industry on a comprehen
sive scale.
Announcement that Jackson is
to have improved express service
in the near future will be receiv
ed with interest. It will prove a
great convenience to the people
of the city.
Frown down the idle talker
who would attempt to array the
classes against each other. There
is a duty for every one to perform
and the big thing right now is
CO-OPERATION.
The effective work done bv the
Civic League in cleaning up the
city in the spring should be re
peated now. Let’s have another
4 ‘Clean up day. ’ ’ The wholesome
effect would be felt throughout
the winter.
Farmers are reminded that
potash, which comes largely from
Germany, is going to be scarce
and high as a fertilizer next year.
Clover will to a large extent, it
it claimed, lake the place of pot
ash. It is important then that
you get ready to meet this situa
tion. Take this matter up with
the Demonstration Agent at once.
Whether they want to or not
the farmers of the South must
break away from the one-crop
plan. This fall is the time to
start. The war is going to make
living at home absolutely neces
sary in the future.
Tnere is just as much money in
this country today as there was
a year ago. If there is anything
lacking it is confidence. Pull
yourself together and stand by
your guns and everything will be
all right in the end.
It would be a good thing if the
people would forget about the for
eign war as far as possible. Why
not try the plan of quit talking
about the war? There is no use
in magnifying your troubles. But
few of them materialize anyway.
Let’s dismiss the war and plan
for a greater prosperity for the
South.

Taking Calomel
Is A Bad Habit
So Powerful It Shocks Liv
er and Leaves It Weaker
Than Before. Dodson’s
Liver Tone Is Better to
Take
Nearly everybody who has ever
tried calomel has found that it
gives only temporary relief. For
calomel is such a powerful drug
that it shocks and weakens the
liver and makes it less able after
ward to do its duty than in the
first place.
This is one of the reasons why
Slaton Drug Cos. guarantees Dod
son’s Liver Tone to take the place
of calomel. Dodson’s Liver Tone
is a pure vegetable liver tonic
that will cure constipation quick
ly and gently, without any dan
ger of bad after-effects. It is
guaranteed to do this with a guar
antee that is simple and fair. If
you buy a bottle of Dodson’s Liv
er Tone for yourself or your chil
dren. and do not find that it per
fectly takes the place of calomel,
then return to the store where
you bought it and get your money
back with a smile, adv
