on the hog.
There is a movement on foot to
knock out locker clubs and put a
tax on soft drinks to make up
the deficit. Georgia seems to be
hard run to make ends meet.
The Dodge County Herald,
published at Eastman, has sus
pended for lack of patronage.
It is hard to make two papers
grow where there is only room
for one.
Why not form that new judi
cial circuit of thecounties of New

We understand that the other
counties favor the plan and New
ton surely would. —Covington

Since establishing its Atlanta
bureau The Macon Telegraph is
giving far the best news service
of any paper in the state. One is
enabled to separate the wheat
from the chaff and get news in

Fellow Bloodworth over at
Forsyth says he has surrendered
and is only waiting for one of
the weaker sex to surrender.
Well, just wait till leap year rolls
around and see if you’re not cor
nered.
The biennial sessions bill ought
to pass the legislature. Georgia
and the entire country is suffer
ing from too much legislation al
ready and once every two years
is often enough for the general
assembly to meet.
Wonder who will be the
bright and particular star of
the press meeting this year?

Nope! Inspired by the

that.
Doyle Jones, editor of The
Butts County Progress, is a
royal booster for his old home
town. Would that there
were more like him in this
land of the free and the home
of William Jennings Bryan!
More power to his boosts;
greater growth to Jackson
and an earnest hope for a lit
tle boosting contagion across
the line into Monroe. —Mon-
roe Advertiser.
Many thanks, Oliver. If
The Progress were called on
for an opinion it would say
that The Advertiser is the
best weekly newspaper that
comes to this office. —Butts
• County Progress.
Spare our blushes. We’re
plumb overcome, but we’re
sincerely grateful for the
generous boost. If The Ad
vertiser ranks anywhere near
the best, it is because of the
example set us by Editor
Jones and because of our de
sire to get out a paper al
most as good as The Pro
gress.—Monroe Advertiser.

He Removed the
Danger Signal
**l suffered a long time with
k. very weak back,” writes Fred
Smith, 325 Main St., Green Bay, Wis.
"A few boxes of Foley Kidney Pills
completely relieved me of all soreness
and pain In the back, and now I am
as strong and well as ever.”
One cannot help becoming nervous
and feeling tired and worn out when
the kidneys fail to filter and throw
cut of the system the poisonous waste
matter that causes kidney troubles
and bladder ailments.
Backache Is one of Nature’s danger
signals that the kidneys are clogged
up and inactive. It is often followed
by rheumatism, annoying bladder or
urinary disorders, puffy swellings
under the eyes, swollen ankles and
painful joints. • .
Foley Kidney Pills get right at the
source of trouble. They invigorate
the kidneys to healthy action and
when the kidneys properly perform
their functions the poisonous waste
matter is eliminated from the system.

RESOLUTIONS ON DEATH
OF MISS AMANDA VARNER
In the death of Miss Amanda
Varner which occurred at her
home, Indian Springs, Ga., in
March, the church and society
has lost one of its most active
members. Possessed of broad
mind, genial disposition her
friends were numbered by her
acauaintances. Miss Amanda
was remarkable in many ways.
One of the most striking was her
great knowledge of people and
events which combined to make
her one of the most interesting
conversationalists to whom we
have ever listened. But with all
this she was most remarkable for
her devotion to the church and
the cause of Christ. Those of
us who Knew her cannot soon
forget the interest she manifest
ed in this society.
Therefore, be it resolved that
in the death of Miss Amanda
Varner the church and this so
ciety and humanity in general
has lost a friend indeed and one
whose place will be hard to fill.
2. That we tender our heart
felt sympathy and love to her
bereaved sister, Miss Joe Varner,
and that a copy of this preamble
and resolution be sent her.
3. That a page in our minute
book be inscribed to her memory.
Respectfully submitted,
Mrs. Frank Benson,
Mrs. A. B. Wrenn,
Mr. R. V. Smith.
