Now is a good time to be plan

Macon has revived the question
of river navigation. Now for a
greater Macon.
What has become of the old
fashioned grocer who closed up
his store for the midday meal?
Business is getting better. The
main thing is to cut out the grouch
stuff and be a business booster.
Fine weather this for settling
the checker championship be

That Alabama politician who
predicts 20 cent cotton this fall
will do more damage than the
boll weevil.
We envy those scribes who are

The year 1915 really has fifty
three Fridays, as Editor Duke of
The Griffin News has discovered
after consulting the calendar.
Editor Oliver Bloodworth of
The Monroe Advertiser can set
tle his matrimonial yearnings for
all time by a few trips to Jackson.
The roads and streets show
*
the results of the weather. A
bond issue for paving is one of
the problems Jackson must soon
settle.
This should be the best year of
all for the boys corn club work
in this county. There should be
an enrollment of several hundred
members in 1915.
The Progress wishes the new
city administration all the suc

the support of every citizen of
the city throughout the year.
Yes, Matilda Anne, the sun
will shine again, the little birds
will warble as of old and maybe,
perhaps, perchance the streets
of Jackson will dry off once more.
Charley Barrett has remained
at the head of the largest farm
ers’ organization of the world for
many years because he has suc

zation that he is not trying to
exploit its membership for his
pecuniary profit or political gain.

work. The nation is his debtor.

A lynching is an unfortunate

likely to happen in one state as
another. The northern press
should remember those who live
in glass houses should be careful
about casting stones.
CALOMEL DYNAMITES
A SLUGGISH LIVER
Crashes into sour bile, ma
king you sick and you
lose a day's work
Calomel salivates! It's mer
cury. Calomel acts like dyna
mite on a sluggish liver. When
calomel comes into contact with
sour bile it crashes into it, caus
ing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy,
constipated and all knocked out,
just go to your druggist and get
a 50c bottle of Dodson’s Liver
Tone, which is a harmless veget
able substitute for dangerous
calomel. Take a spoonful and if
it doesn’t start vour liver and
straighten you up better and
quicker than nasty calomel and
and without making you sick,
you just go back and get your
money.
If you take calomel today you’ll
be sick and nauseated tomorrow;
besides, it may salivate you,
while if you take Dodson’s Liver
Tone you will wake up feeling
great, full of ambition and ready
for work or play. It’s harmless,
pleasant and safe to give to chil
dren; they like it.
TEACHERS GET ANOTHER
INSTALLMENT ON SALARY
Mr. C. S. Maddox, County Su
perintendent of Schools, recently
received a check for $2,400 from
the state as part payment on last
year’s school fund. This leaves
about $2,500 still due the county.
Mr. Maddox is taking the mon
ey now coming in to pay the Old
National Bank, of Battle Creek,
Mich., the money borrowed last
year to run the public schools.
All salaries have been paid to
date and the board of education
will have funds enough to run
the schools well up into the year.
The twenty-three white schools
and a majority of the colored
schools in the county are now
open for the spring months.
How To Give Quinine To Children.
FHBRILINE Is the trade-mark name given to an
improved Quinine. It is a Tasteless Syrup, pleas
ant to take and does not disturb the stomach.
Children take it and never know it is Quinine.
Also especially adapted to adults who cannot
take ordinary Quinine. Does not nauseate nor
cause nervousness nor ringing in the head. Try
it the next time you need Quinine for any pur
pose. Ask for 2-ounce original package. The
name FEBRH.INIJ is blown in bottle. 25 cents.
