Blins COUNTY PROGRESS Published Every Friday. J. DOYLE JONES, Editor and Pub. Subscription $1 a Year Entered a* nerond-clana matter, Novem ber 8,1907, at the postofficeat Jackson, Oh. Telephone No. 166. Communications are 'velcomed. Cor respondents will please confine them selves to 800 words, as communications over that length cannot be KPHdled. Write on one side of the paper only, sign your name, not for publication, but as an evidence of good faith. Official Organ Butts County And the City of Jackson. Are you up with your fishing? What is the sex of the subma rine? Is it the hookworm that the early bird catches? We can talk saucy lixe to the wolf now that blackberries are coming in. Bargain sales say waists are one-third off but they are still go ing up —the back. Georgia peaches are ripe. We know some peaches that have been ripe for the longest. The government experts re commend walking for the health’s sake. How about running—from the wolf? First, last and all it’s your duty to boost Jackin’ and Butts county and patronize home institutions. Of course you are not going to miss any opportunity to boost the Butts county fair. Every body’s talking it. Let a fellow try to farm a lit tle on the side and he’s sure to be guyed nearly to death about his crop of grass. If Fellow Bloodworth will come over and take a look at our Jack son girls he will abandon that correspondence course in matri mony. Some how we just can’t admire the editor who fills up his paper with dead cuts and questionable free plate matter. White space looks better. The Atlanta papers can’t open their mouths to defend Georgia’s good name when traduced. Bet you they understand the mute code. Yet it is these peerless powers of purity that try to run the politics of the state and the shame of it all is that the “dear people” usually fall for it. The Macon Telegraph has a bright editorial page and is a good paper. Now let it cut out its “obitituary” correspondent from Juliette and it’ll be a live lier paper still. “The Man from Juliette” makes a specialty of fu- He gets all the exchang es possible and when the subjects are good and “dead” he sends in his copy. Anything that hap pens in a hundred miles of his town is put down as “near here.” A wonderful imagination has the “Man from Juliette,” but he is more elaborate than accurate. The Growth of Chero-Cola The Jackson Chero-Cola Bottling Company was organized the first of February, 1914, with a capital stock of $2,000, by Messrs. T. B. McMichael, L. B. Thompson and V. W. Cole, all Butts county boys. The growth of Cherc -Cola has been very remark able indeed and is continually growing. Today we are selling ten cases to where we were selling one the same date a year ago. As some writer has said the South is the land of eats drinks. When the president of the United States £°sires a feed that is out of the ordinary and a great oeai\ out of the ordinary he goes to the South to get it. l*hey are n 6t so materialistic in the South that they dc> not *£tain an idea of the importance of the palate, k*-'*-' It is said by men who are supposed to know that among the grastronomic delights which are called into being south of the Mason and Dixon Line, Chero- Cola is not among the leaSt delightful. As everybody knows we have not the magnate’s millions behind us to hack us up in case we fail, so, therefore, we can’t afford to fail. We are going out after business on a sound, honest business basiA, and are giving our trade such service as was never given in this territory. We have two motor trucks, both in good running condi tion, so we are prepared fo fill orders on a very short notice. Chero-Cola is no imitation or substitute but dis tinctly in a class to itself. Every bottle is labeled so that it can be recognized at a glance. Our plant is equipped with the moSt modern ma chinery that can be bought. We have the only rins ing and conveying machine ever installed in any bot tling plant in Jackson and by this means it is impossi ble for the bottled goods to contain trash or other foreign matter. Our plant has been passed on by pure food inspectors and stood A1 in cleanliness and sani tation. Truly, Chero-Cola is the laSt word in bottled perfection and if once tried will make you a lasting friend of this popular and growing drink. Yours for business, JACKSON CHERO-COLA IBOTTLING COMPANY SPRING OR SPRINGS? Wehad a dispute yesterday as to whether it was “Indian Springs” or “Indian Spring.” We stood against the plural and turned to a Georgia guide to prove we were right. And dinged if the afore said guide didn’t have a low case “s” tacked on to the name. We still knew we were right and sought out Doyle Jones’ Butts County Progress to back us up. And we ginswiggered if the Jackson paper, printed about twenty (it is only five miles) from the spring, didn’t have an “s” tacked onto it, too. We wish somebody would bolster us up a little and tell us we are right. If they don’t our prestige in a certain quarter is lost. —Sa- vannah Press. If it be true that common us age makes a thing correct then “Indian Springs” is right, for ninety-nine per cent of the peo ple in Butts county and this sec tion say “springs.” But regard less of whether the “s” is put on or left off there is no denying the fact that this is a famous health resort. Come up Colonel Sutlive and spend a few days and try some of the fine water at the “springs.” Why is the editorial page?— Milledgeville News. A space filler; a safety valve for some horrible puns; :o show off the editor’s “fine” writing; a mental ointment for people too lazy to do their own thinking; a medium for the latest slang. j We have about 100 Ladies hats 'worth up to $5.00 which we will 1 sell as long as they last at 98c.
