And the City of Jackson.
Come what may, the people
are with the President.
The biggest event of the fall
season will be the Butts County
Fair.
Being governor of Georgia
these days is just one thing after
another.
That Poultry show at the Butts
County Fair will be something
to crow over.
A few of Judge Searcy’s sen
tences would make the blind ti
gers open their eyes.
Blaming it on dog days is shai
ing distinction with blaming it
on the war along now.
There’s this much about Editor
Oliver Bloodworth’s troubles—
he has no little ones.
Editor Duke, of Griffin, ought
to come over and let us show him
what a real Dixie highway looks
like.
Bet Oliver Bloodworth is the
happiest single man in Georgia.
Soon be time for the Bessie Tift
girls to return.
There’s one noticeable differ
ence in Cobb county and her sis
ter, Fulton. That is, she can do
more and say less about it.
Georgia has a fine climate but
it would not agree right now with
those northern and eastern ed
itors who are deliberately lying
about Georgia and her people.
Georgia’s Tax returns will show
a small decrease over last year.
Up goes the tax rate. The ques
tion is, have public officials been
cutting expenses so as to meet
this condition. ?
Being on the Credentials Com
mittee the Georgia Weekly Press
Association we hereby put ’em
all on notice that member’s grips
will be investigated promptly up
on arrival at Decatur next year.
J. Doyle Jones, of the Jackson
Progress-Argus is such an author
ity on good looking women that
the papers are mixing him up
with Chas. Dana Gibson and
calling him J. Dana Jones. He’s
a fine newspaper man but he’s no
Gibson—couldn’t even draw a dis
tinction.—Monroe Advertiser.
May not be able to draw a dis
tinction but can distinguish a good
thing when I see it, Oliver, old
boy. Fellow does right well to
be able to draw his breath these
parlous times.

Judge Searcy won many
friends in Butts county last week
through his impartial rulings and
for the promptness with which
business was handled. His
friends predict that he will make
oneof the most popular jurists
in the state.
An unknown man was found
dead in the outskirts of a Kansas
town recently. A revolver and
SIOO in cash were found on his
person. The coroner hcid an in
quest. and it took $75 to defray
the expenses and bury the body.
The police judge fined the corps
$25 for carrying concealed weap
ons and confiscated the gun.
The local editor, who published
the obituary got nothing.—Altoo

Easily Decided
This Question Should B
Answered Easily by
Jackson People
Which is wiser—to have confidence
in the opinions of your fellow-citizens,
of people you know, or depend on
statements made by utter strangers
residing in far away places? Read the
following:
Mrs. Gordon Carmichael, Oak St.,
Jackson, says: “Kidney trouble caused
me a lot of suffering. I had pains all
through the small of my back and
loins, especially severe in the morning.
The kidney secretions were also un
uatural. 1 knew I needed a kidney
medicine but didn’t know what to
take until a friend advised me to try
Doan’s Kidney Pills. They cured me
of kidney trouble and I have had no
return of it since.”

Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mrs. Carmichael had. Foster-Mil burn
