Glad-u-kum.
Some good fair, eh?
On to the state fair.
Now for the 1916 fair.
Some class to that parade.
Everybody having a good time
at the fair.
Nearly time for the extra ses
sion, more talk and hot air.
Butts county corn club boys
know how to smash corn yield
records.
A good time to plan for a big
ger and better Butts county fair
for 1916.
Butts county never does things
by halves. This applies also to
county fairs.
Some people think certain citi
zens are about as bad as the boll
weevil. But wont it be awful to
have both?
The boll weevil may be a myth
but bet some people will change
their minds when the pest hits
this section.
About the meanest man in the
community is the tight-wadded
skinflint who will never help out
in any public enterprise, and
spends his lung power knocking
his town, his county and his fel
low man.
There are plenty of knockers
in this world who never know
they areinjuringthemselves more
than the other fellow until it is
entirely too late. —Montezuma
Georgian.
Truer words were never pen
ned. Nine times out of ten the
knocker is a failure morally, so
cially and financially.
Editor Jones’ Jackson Pro
gress-Argus was a twenty-two
page paper this week. Recently
the two weekly papers in Jack
son were consolidated and the
one paper is certainly a great
credit to the little city, giving a
great deal more news than did
the two papers, and making a
much better impression in every
particular.—Griffin News.
About a year ago—you will re
member—there was a lot said
about establishing markets for
grain, hay, live stock, etc., and
farmers were told to diversify. So
they did. But where are the
markets? About the only thing
a man cansell to advantage around
here is cotton and a lot of cotton
markets are a disgrace to the
communities.
i"CASCARETS” BEST IF
HEADACHY, BIL OUS,

for liver and bowels,
bad breath, bad colds,
sour Stomach
Get a 10-cent box.
Sick headache, biliousness,
coated tongue, head and nose
clogged up with a cold—always
trace this to toroid liver; delayed,
fermenting food in the bowels or
sour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in
the intestines, instead of being
cast out of the system is re-absor
bed into the blood. When this
poison reaches the delicate brain
tissue it causes congestion and
that dull, throbbing, sickening
headache.
Cascarets immediately cleanse
the stomach, remove the sour,
undigested food and foul gases,
take the excess bile from the liv
er and carry out all the constipa
ted waste matter and poisons in
the bowels.
A Cascaret to-night will surely
straighten you out by morning.
They work while you sleep—a 10-
cent box from your druggist
means your head clear, stomach
sweet, breath right, complexion
rosy and your liver and bowels
regular for months.

Saved Girl’s Life
“I want to tell you what wonderful benefit I have re
ceived from the use of Thedford’s Black-Draught,” writes
Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky.
“It certainly has no equal for la grippe, bad colds,
liver and stomach troubles. I firmly believe Black-Draught
saved my little girl's life. When she had the measles,
they went in on her, but one good dose of Thedford’s
Black-Draught made them break out, and she has had no
more trouble. I shall never be without
BLack- < SrmghT
in my home.” For constipation, indigestion, headache, dizzi
ness, malaria, chills and fever, biliousness, and all similar
ailments, Thedford’s Black-Draught has proved itself a safe,
reliable, gentle and valuable remedy.
If you suffer from any of these complaints, try Black-
Draught It is a medicine of known merit Seventy-five
years of splendid success proves its value. Good for
young and old. For sale everywhere. Price 25 cents.
