BUIS COUNTY PROGRESS Published Every Friday. ■■■■!■ ii ■..■!! I ■— J. DOYLE JONES, Editor and Pub. Subscription $1 a Year Entered as second-claas matter, Novem **er 8,1907, at the poatofflceat Jackson, Ga. Telephone No. 166. Communications are welcomed. Cor raapondents will please confine them selves to 300 words, as communications ever 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 Write on one side of the paper only, sign your name, not for publication, but as an evidence of good faith. Now is a good time to be plan ning for a big hog crop. 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 tween McDonough and Eatonton. That Alabama politician who predicts 20 cent cotton this fall will do more damage than the boll weevil. We envy those scribes who are feasting on the toothsome delica cies brought in by the elusive delinquent subscriber. 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 cess possible and may they have 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 ceeded in steering the Farmers’ Union clear of the shoals of poli tics and has long ago convinced the members of this vast organi zation that he is not trying to exploit its membership for his pecuniary profit or political gain. —Dublin Courier-Herald. A merited tribute. This splen did Georgian has consecrated the best years of his life to a fine work. The nation is his debtor. —Macon Telegraph.

A true tonic. For adults and children. 59c A lynching is an unfortunate outbreak of lawlessness and as 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. LEGAL ADVERTISE MENTS NOTICE OF SALE. Georgia—Butts C.ounty: Whereas, on the 29th day of Decem ber, 1913, 8. M.
