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. A TEXAS WONDER.
