Official Organ Butts County
And the City of Jackson.
Some papers are known by the
news they do not print.
It is true when you figure it
out. Every knock is a boost.
How many Georgia products
are you going to sell this year?
About time to begin planning
for that Butts county fair isn’t it?
The problem before Georgians
now is to learn to feed themselves.
Read Judge Daniel’s charge to
the Grand Jury. It will do you
good.
What has become of that old
fashioned custom where the of
fice saught the man?
Joe Hill Hall is threatening the
come back. He may run for the
legislature in Bibb county.
You can always bet on the fa
vorite sons being ready to get in
the running at the first opportu
nity.
A bond issue for street paving
and sidewalks improvement in
Jackson ought to be popular at
this time.
Raise all the foodstuffs you can
and rest assured that you will
find a cash market for them right
here in Jackson.
Yet we don’t believe that Jack
Slaton ever would have slapped
Georgia farmers and business
men in the face.
Wallace Miller, a well known
young attorney of Macon, has
been named as assistant United
States district attorney.
The advertiser has nothing to
conceal. He matches his goods
against a critical buying public.
Patronize the advertisers.
Glad to see that the congress
men are too busy in Washington
to send out the usual free garden
seed. It means better gardens.
The people of Atlanta have
$60,000 to spend for dago grand
opera while the large list of un
employed walks the streets and
wonders where the next meal is
coming from. If this is the At
lanta spirit we are glad that we
have none of it.—Butts County
Progress.
The Atlanta Spirit is the spirit
which impels Atlanta to do all
those things which will make it
appear that there is such a thing
as the Atlanta Spirit.—Macon
Telegraph.
From which we judge that the
Atlanta Spirit is a cold-blooded,
deliberate, selfish proposition.
The Moultrie packing plant is
getting nearly as much advertis
ing as a freakish candidate on a
political year. But the Moultrie
enterprise deserves it.
It has come to pass. A little
while ago they were mortgaging
farms to buy automobiles but we
note that an Atlanta man wants
to swap his car for a cow.
If the doctors and undertakers
could get together more, several
cities we know of would lose
some of their most unprogressives
—Macon Telegraph.
Wonder if The Telegraph is
hinting at Macon or Jesup?
Butts county has from five
hundred to a thousand boys who
ought to be enrolled in the Corn
Clubs and the Pig Clubs this
year. They would make them
selves felt in the live-at-home
movement.
If Editor Anderson of The Ma
con Telegraph doesn’t stop boast
ing about the prowess of his pet
pig, Benjamin, we’ll challenge
him to match his poker against
some of the Butts county thor
oughbreds at the Butts county
fair this fall.
Tom Hardwick is against the
parcel post. Now he is with the
republicans and the shipping
trust on the ship-purchase bill.
Cotton may rot on the farmers
hands and business in the South
stagnate for lack of ships to haul
the staple, but no help will the
South get from “Sho-fiy” Tom
mie. He is extingusihing him
self right along.
The late Mr. C. S. Maddox,
Superintendent of Schools, was
in intimate touch with the educa
tional situation in Butts county
and his equal will be hard to find.
It is hoped that the Board of Ed
ucation will select as his success
or the very best man in the coun
ty. The educational advance
ment of the county is a matter
that vitally concerns us all.
TAKES OFF DANDRUFF
HAIR STOPS FALLIN6
Save Your Hair! Get a 25c
Bottle of Danderine Right
Now —Also Stops Itch
ing Scalp.
Thin, brittle, colorless and scrag
gy hair is mute evidence of a neg
lected scalp; of dandruff—that
awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive
to the hair as dandruff. It robs
the hair of its lustre, its strength
and its very life; eventually pro
ducing a feverishness and itching
of the scalp, which if not reme
died causes the hair roots to
shrink, loosen and die—then the
hair falls out fast. A little Dan
derine tonight —now—any time —
will surely save your hair.
Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowl
ton’s Danderine from any drug
store. You surely can have beau
tiful hair and lots of it if you just
try a little Danderine. Save your
hair! Try it! ad
Jenkinsburg School Notes
The week has been so pleasant
both in work and weather that
we feel like quoting from R. L.
Stevenson:
“The world is so full of a num
ber of things,
I’m sure we should all be as hap
py as kings.”
I think it safe to say that all
our pupils are learning that the
only way to real happiness lies in

doing faithfully each day the du
ties nearest us. One may expect
to find pleasure by another road,
but it will prove as great a dis
appointment as the mirage in the

work fills the future with regrets.
There are many persons whose
lives ha 1 , e been embittered by
the fact that their early opportu
nities were wasted, and they
must plod along in hard places
through life. We are trying ear
nestly to impress such lessons in
time to be of help in building
characters that will render these
children able to take their places
in the world with credit to them
selves and to those who trained
them.
The American child is teacha
ble in spite of the fact that an
English author said that “Amer
ica is that country where the
parents are sent to bed for talk
ing back to the children.” There
may be some truth in the above
statement but the American boys
and girls have so far grown into
sound minded citizens. It re
mains for the future to show
whether this shall continue.

The Man Who Knows How
to put an auto in shape “is not nu
merous” but there are plenty who
claim to have the ability. Expert,
practical mechanical knowledge is
absolutely necessary, and it takes
time to acquire the necessary skill.
We make a specialty of Automobile
repairs of all kinds, and also keep a
full line of the “right kind?’ of sup
plies, on which you may depend.
