The above gerttlemen are men of

business. The last two gentlemert
named are young, well educated,
full of energy, and are forging to
front.
Mr. Etheridge, who came to
Butts county a poor man. has met
with wonderful success. His name
at the head of anything means suc
cess. It will be an honor to Jack
son to liaye him mayor. He is in a
position to help and encourage new
enterprises for our city. He was
recently elected President of the
Butts County Chamber of Com
merce, and is the man at this hour
to be our mayor.
Mr. McKibben and Mr. Ham are
both good men, and are familiar
with city affairs.
We believe that no man who has
made llis fortune in a town should
refuse to serve his people on ac
count of having so much business
of his own. That is the very man
any city needs for mayor, therefore
we insist that Mr. Etheridge allow
us to use hisname.

BUTTS AND JASPER
BOUNDS BEING SURVEYED
Work Commenced This
Week to Establish Def
inite Boundary—Gover
nor Ordered It.
*
Governor Slaton has ordered a
survey made of the line between
Butts and Jasper counties. The
purpose of the survey is to establish
a .correct line between the counties,
to settle the strife and suits over
taxes that has existed ever since
Jasper first tried to rob Butts coun
ty of her rightful taxes.
JasjJbr county hascontended that
the east bank of the river was not
the correct line, and has held up
the taxes for that reason. The
controversy never started until the
taxes from the big dam were paid
and it seems that the attempt is
only a result of Jasper’s inordinate
avarniciousness-
The survey will begin in the
lower part of the county and will
take in the space occupied by the
big dam. There is little doubt but
that Butts will be sustained, and
the line remain the same

onstry-d at Grant Park,
The pretty lion cubs, which a
iiionllijago were safe pets for a hu
man baby to roll over and play
with on the door, are becoming
dangerous, and will soon be more
than a match for the strongest
grown man. Their claws and teeth
are growing longer, and their jung
le instincts are beginning to show
themselves.
The milk diet has been replaced
by small scraps of meat, which
they grab ravenously with their
little paws, and tear and snarl over
for all the world like tlieir full
grown parents.
Grant Park has been particularly
successful in raising these cubs,
which will be worth several thous
and dollars each in a short while.
