Welcome to the “Power City.” Have you a little highway in front of your door? All highways lead to Jackson, the “Power City.” Gladukum. “Sight seeih&” fel lows. Come again and stay longer. Butts county’s great fair this fall will be the biggest show in middle Georgia. Honest now, you tourist fel lows, rather like Butts county’s fine roads don’t you? In their swing around Georgia that “Seeing party” have seen enough to entertain them for a right smart while. Macon has launched her first water craft on the Ocmulgee but this doesn’t mean that Macon is on the water wagon. The school boy that doesn’t proceed to get on familiar terms with the ol’ swimmin’ hole just naturally has the hookworm. When you want the best road from Macon to Atlanta ask the tourists and they’ll tell you to com* 1 through Jackson and Indian Springs. Well, we thought the Dixie highway would recognize the shortest route, the best roads and the leading attractions. And so it did and Jackson is a winner. The gink that started the one about the weekly editors wearing silk socks to the press meet in Eastman ought to be pulled. Be lucky to wear sox of any descrip tion. Jackson welcomes the “Seeing Georgia” tourists with a sincere and hearty welcome and hopes they will come again. They are the apostles of better roads in Georgia. Just when Griffin thought she was the onliest pebble on the, beach her dream was rudely ’ shattered and she is lucky to find ' herself on the left wing of the Dixie highway. Now just watch Jackson and Indians Springs capture three fourths of the travel over the Dixie highway between Atlanta and Macon. For better roads, the South’s most famous health resort and the shortest route will ccunt. Notice. Our fiscal year closes this month.
