Official Organ Butts County
And the City of Jackson.
Working any for the Dixie
highway?
Why not a school fair in Butts
county this spring?
How are your congressional
garden seed coming up?
Not so sure about the fish but
the redbugs are biting vigorously.
Griffin is as proud of her base
ball team as a boy his first pair
of pants.
Watch the Butts county corn
club boys mop up with some more
records this fall.
Pity the poor bill collector when
the grand opera artists have fin
ished with Atlanta.
How about a jitney bus for
Jackson? The street car line will
not suffer by the competition.
Just to think of the joke of
Macon and Savannah complain
ing of being dry, even in a drouth.
During his recent trial it ap
pears that Teddy was forced to
show his hand as well as his teeth.
Among the recent arrivals is
the mosquito who will spend sev
eral weeks very pleasantly in
our midst.
Isn’t it about time for the “ol
dest citizen” to rise and remark
that this has been the dryest
spring ever?
“When will the war end?" is
now sharing popularity with that
springtime favorite, “Think the
fish will bite?”
Opening announcement: The
war— according to Kitchener —
begins Saturday. Innocent by
standers please stand from under.
Ever now and then The Journal
revives the “buy a bale” move
ment. We thought “sell a bale”
had come to be more important.
The State is away behind with
the payment of pensions. This
is not fair to the veterans whose
ranks are dwindling at an aston
ishing rate.
You must go down in your
pocket before being “uplifted”
by the Chautauqua boobs and oth
er grape juice artists. We pre
fer to remain on terra tirma.
A good many of those editors
who are complaining about their
neighbor's chickens playing hav
oc with their gardens, haven’t
much of a garden to begin with.
The restless legislator is now
framing his pet bill and getting
ready to start something when
the legislature gets down to its
annual grind.
Butts county has the best roads
of any county in middle Georgia
and autoists can tell you where
the Butts line begins. Bring on
the Dixie highway.
Why not enforce the ordinance
regulating the speed of automo
biles in Jackson? To say noth
ing of safety to the pedestrian,
there would be less dust if not
so much speed.
Jackson always treats the Con
federate veterans handsomely
on Memorial Day. The veterans
are proud of the Daughters of
the Confederacy and the U. D. C.
chapter is proud of the veterans.
AN IDEAL CITIZEN
Augusta Chronicle
There is a gentleman in this
town known to us all, who is just
about our ideal of a good citizen.
He is making his money here,
he is raising and educating his
family here, and he expects to
live and die here.
When he has any money to
spend he first looks carefully over
the advertisements in this paper.
If he finds what he wants he goes
there and gives that merchant
the first opportunity.
In everything he buys he gives
the home merchant preference.
He occasionally buys articles
from abroad, but they are cases
wherein he cannot find that which
he seeks in his own community.
He believes in his home town,
and because he does believe in it
he grasps every possible means
of advancing its interests by
keeping his money in circulation
at home.
He, to our mind, is the ideal
citizen.
Would that he were multiplied
a thousand fold.
For we need more of him.

bladder troubles, dissolves gravel,
