And the City of Jackson.
Are you boosting the county
fair?’ ’
The widow and her weeds soon
part.
Are you a booster or a lame
duck?
Politics and prohibition make a
fine combination, eh?
Every day will be a big day at
the Butts County Fair.
Cotton seed are up. Let ’em
skyrocket all they please.
Russia’s good intentions seem
to be paved with retreats.
If you are not boosting the
Butts County Fair, why not?
September Morn is a June
bride, atmospherically speaking.
The extra session is limited to
fifty days, which is some conso
lation.
Butts county is going: to have
the biggest, booster county fair
in Georgia.
Wonder what Thomas Bosh
Felder charges for being a pro
hibitionist?
Publicity is the sweetest mor
sel ever rolled under the tongue
provided it is free.
With skirts get ling shorter and
shorter the men are “seeing
Georgia” right considerably.
Jackson should have the best
cotton market in Middle Georgia.
It helps the merchants and bus
iness in general.
Jackson is on the route of the
next “Seeing Georgia” tour,
which will be started from Ma
can September 30.
Another weekly paper has
been launched in Atlanta. It was
our idea that Atlanta had too
many papers already.
The average fellow knows a
lot more about how to run the
county, state and government
than he does his own business.

Hold cotton for better prices,
is the advice coming from many
sources. Some predict that the
staple will sell for 12 cents by
next spring.
Good roads come high. Still
the people want them. If Butts
county is to enjoy a low tax rate
she must vote bonds, neglect her
roads or quit. This is the sit
uation in a nutshell.
The Sparta Ishmaelite came
out last week with a splendid
“Booster Edition" of 24 pages.
The paper was a credit to Sparta
and to Editor Moore.
Georgia needs an adequate
warehouse law. If this matter
is not acted on at the extra ses
sion, it should certainly receive
attention next summer
The business man who wants
more business knows he can get
it by a vigorous advertising cam
paign. A hint to the wise should
bring an outpouring of good ad
copy.
Hundreds and thousands of
good Georgians are disgusted
with the eternal wrangle over
prohibition. Settle the problem
and settle it right and stop the
everlasting mouthing.
Right this way for your tick
ets. Tom Loyless of the Augus
ta Chronicle is exchanging the
time ot day with Editor Watson
of the Jeffersonian. Did you say
anything about flying fur?
A girl named Mary at birth
dropped the “y” when she grew
up and became May. As she
began to shine in society she
changed the “y” to an “e” and
signed her letters ‘‘Mae.’’ About
a year ago she was married and
now she has dropped the “e”
and is just plain “Ma.” —Meri
wether Vindicator.
Dont forget that the coming
year will probably again be one of
high-priced stuffs. Lets prepare
now to meet the situation with
an immence crop of fall grain,
both for fall, winter and spring
pasturage and for feed next
year. And while we are about
it, it is well to remember that
in nearly all parts of the South
the sooner these crops are sown
after September first, the earlier
and better the grazing will be.
Don’t wait until winter to plant,
and then report that “small grains
don’t pay in the South.”—The
Progressive Farmer.

It Always Helps
says Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky., in
writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman’s
tonic. She says further: “Before ! began to use
Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, I
thought the pain would kill me. I was hardly able
to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles
of Cardui, I began to feel like anew woman. I soon
gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework,
as well as run a big water mill.
1 wish every suffering woman would give
CARDUI
The Woman's Tonic
a trial. I still use Cardui when I feel a little bad,
and it always does me good.”
Headache, backache, side ache, nervousness,
tired, worn-out feelings, etc., are sure signs of woman
ly trouble. Signs that you need Cardui, the woman’s
tonic. You cannot make a mistake in trying Cardui
for your trouble. It has been helping weak, ailing
women for more than fifty years.

The First Principle
of Good Health
One great medical authority de
clares that sluggish bowels are the
cause of more than half the ills
sfflict mankind. A constipated dAn
dition quickly affects the liver and
other organs, so that indigestion and
constipation are soon followed hy bil*
iousness, headaches, chronic bad
breath and a generally disarranged
condition of the system.
Foley Cathartic Tablet! are an
ideal physic, for their action is whole
some and thoroughly cleansing, with
out griping, naueea or inconvenience.
They invigorate and strengthen the
bowel action and have a good effect
on the stomach and liver.
L. L>. Levey, Green Bay, Wis..
writes: “For a long time I suffered
from constipation and liver trouble.
Nothing seemed to help me. I finally
secured Foley Cathartic Tablets and
am pleased to state they have cured
me. They are the finest cathartic to
take I have ever used and their effect
la quick and sure,"

There Is But One
Said Sunny Jim to Grouchy Bill
Why look blue, why sit still
Get busy now. Go pick your cotton
The price is good; last year ’twas rotten.
Get a move right now, you grouchy Bill,
With Coca-Cola your cup go fill.
There’s nothing so good to hurry you up,
Its delicious, refreshing, so fill your cup.
But alas for Bill. His limitations
To see the best, bought imitations.
Asa pessimist he always stands,
While Sunny Jim the best demands.
Now Sunny Jim sweetly smiles
As the big fat bale in the warehouse piles
He says for a price I’m gon-a-hoia
I’ll borrow 8 cts, and buy Coca-Cola.
