Newspaper Page TextJackson Progress-Argus Published Every Friday. J. DOYLE JONES, Editor and Pub. Subscription $1 a Year Telephone No. 166. Communications ar** welcomed. Cor respondents will please confine them selves to 300 words, as communications over that length cannot be handled. Write on one side of the paper only, sign your name, not for publication, but as an evidence of good faith.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. Sure, Jackson wants that Car negie library. What are you doing to push the county fair along? For Uncle Sam life seems to be just one crisis after another. We’d like to find the guy that put the jay in Jaybird Springs. Wonder if Oliver Bloodworth has gone to press around the cap itol yet? What has become of the old fashioned girl who used to help pick the geese? Eastman is giving the press party a good time —and indiges tion —this week. Incidentally, the legislature is creating a few city courts and killing a few other c. c. Now that the editors have gone the people of Eastman will have to raise a brand new chicken crop. One good feature of the press trip to the coast was that it gave an opportunity for an annual foot washing. We are in favor of the general assembly going after the fire in surance trust with pitchforks and grappling hooks. The legislature ought to pass some sort of regulation that will curb the auto speed fiends on the public highways of the state. It’s a long ways to Tipperary but if Joe Brown runs against Tom Hardwick for United States senator we’ve got our ticket fixed. A nine months term for the schools of Butts county sounds good. The best school system in the state is what Butts must aim for. The consensus of opinion over the state is that if the 4 ‘best peo ple” are with Jack Slaton, the ‘‘best people” are dern scarce in Georgia. If Kentucky is famous for its fast horses and beautiful women —is that right—how about Geor gia being famous for its many automobiles? The Monroe Advertiser and the Butts County Pro gress have recently been ad ded to our exchange list. Each is an excellent newspa per. —Cuthbert Leader. Thank you. Some good paper you’re issuing, too. We doff our hat to Editor Doyle Jones, of Jackson. He is now sole press censor of that most excellent and thriving city.— Monticello News. The Georgia lawmakers seem to be fond of oratory, having heard from Hoke Smith, Dr. Soule and Tom Hardwick in suc cession. Less speaking and more business would suit the folks back home just as well. Editor Jones, of Jackson, having secured the newspa per field exclusively in his home town, we shall expect to see a much better paper over there. Mr. Jones is a live newspaper man and de deserves great credit for the success which he is achiev ing.—Griffin News and Sun. Thanks. We’ll tighten up our belt and try to give the people of Butts county a paper nearly as good as The News and Sun. The Dodge County Herald, East man’s new paper, has suspended publication. The Herald was a good local paper and made a brave fight to gain a foothold, but East man already had one good paper in The Times-Journal, and there was no room for another, so one had to go. It takes a mighty good town these days to furnish sufficient patronage to keep one paper alive, much less two.— Hawkinsville Dispatch and News. J. Doyle, Jones of the Jackson Progress, has adquired control of the Argus, C. L. Carter Having retired from the newspaper bus iness after an experience of on ly a few months. Mr. Carter ad mits that he is not a newspaper man and that there is not suffi cient business in Jackson to maintain two papers, all of which is very true. While the Argus was the oldest publi cation, it is the case of the sur vival of the fittest. —Griffin News. C. L. Carter, of Jackson, who has been recently running the Jackson Argus, has surrender ed his lease and henceforth both the Argus and the Butts County Progress will be run by Editor Doyle Jones, of Jackson. Mr. Jones is one of the best news paper editors in Georgia and has made the Progress one of the most eagerly read and highly re spected papers in the Empire State. We congratulate Brother Jones and wish for him the suc cess which he so richly deserves. —Monroe Advertiser. . Advice Is: Hiu c out of sorts from cons ti ll, f v.? say that if Heagg.

Some big ad vertisers in Macon are trying to make The Telegraph sweat be cause that paper had the man hood and courage to tell the truth about the Frank case. The peo ple with hold up the hands of The Telegraph in its fight for the freedom of the press. The Macon Telegraph’s circu lation is growing enormously in Butts county, and no doubt, over the entire state. That paper shall not suffer for speaking the truth. If it becomes necessary The Tel egraph can sell stock to ten thou sand Georgians, the home-grown Anglo-Saxon kind. Watch the boy cotters get boy cotted.

If you had typhoid last year it will pay you to have your doctor send it to the state board of health to be examined. Have your well inclosed if you possibly can. Remember that most of the typhoid-bearing wa ter comes from springs and open wells. If you are not sure of the water boil it. It is a great trouble but it is easier than caring for a ty phoid patient. The unpalatable taste of boiled water is due to the fact that the boiling drives the air out of the water. Unless you have some perfectly clean wide-mouthed fly proof vessel to let the water stand in, pour it from a pitcher to an other that it may regain its air. —The Progressive Farmer. Whenever Yon Need a General Tonic Take Grove’s The Old Standard Grove’s Tasteless chill Tonic is equally valuable as a General Tonic because it contains the well known tonic properties of QUININE and IRON.

BUTTS COUNTY FAIR MODEL FOR STEPHENS That Butts county is holding annual fairs is known all over Georgia. This mail brings me a letter from Demonstration Agent H. G. Wiley, Toccoa, Ga., who is endeavoring to hold Stephens county’s initial fair. He evidently has some whose narrow vision can’t see any good in a county fair, for he has re Seeds Fop S prin g Planting Buy your seeds of all kinds from the old reliable seed of Jackson—Slaton Drug Cos.

We and we right it as quickly andthor- quested me to summarize the ben efits our county has received from fairs in the past, so that he may have some data by which his ar guments may be made more forceful to this anti-fair minority. We consider it the greatest move any county can make. We cannot always see the immediate gains from such institutions, but it’s the future that tells the tale. The centralization of all the best agricultural products, both plants and animals, togeth er with a display of everything which man’s genius can innovate creates a spirit of friendly ri valry which will ultimately re sult in the county's or communi ty's leadership.
