Jackson Progress-Argus Published Every Friday. J. DOYLE JON EB, Editor and Pub. Subscription $1 a Year Altered an second-class matter at the post (jfflce at Jackson, Oa. Telephone No. 166. Official Organ Butts County And the City of Jackson. Great is the county fair. The fair was an eye-opener. Don’t pout. It doesn’t pay. Plant some oats and wheat. Grow some alfalfa and clover. Raise a pig, a colt and a calf. Football is nearly as easy as real work. Nobody seems to envy the judges at a baby show. Guess they will soon be selling cotton seed by the dozen, It is so childish to quarrel when things don’t.go to suit you. This is a good time to line up for next year’s county fair. Now for a stdck company and a Greater Butts County Fair. 4 * ■ ' Wonder What the weather man had against us last us last week? Just yet nobody seems to be on to the movement of the knee watch. 4 _ Some of these days Butts coun ty is going to wake up and swat the cattle tick. # About the funniest thing of the whole year is Atlanta’s de sire to be a river port. Macon arid Griffin are both pul ling off their fairs this week and the speilers are speiling. The Boys* Corn Club and the Girls Canning Club members are still ahead by several laps. Butts county is making a dis play at the State Fair. The ex hibit is a creditable one in every way. , The Butts county fair was a great exhibition of the county’s resources, but should be ten times bigger. Old General Winter will soon score one of the biggest victories of the war on the European bat tlefields. You are pulling the bolls wee vil’s teeth when you plant oats, wheat, alfalfa and raise live stock and poultry., The old fellows will have to go to school some more before they learn how to make corn like the boys in the Corn Club. Seems that the President put a little more spirit in his latest Thanksgiving proclamation since the widow accepted him. The Butts county fair has out grown its present quarters. It must be enlarged or the enter prise discontinued. One of the biggest attractions of the fall season will be the ex tra session of the legislature. Any county would be proud to get that crowd under a tent as a drawing card. Now that the President is to be married. Editors Duke and Bloodworth, lusty old bachelors, ought to take renewed courage and follow in the path of lofty patriotism. J. J. Brown says he wont run against Jim Price for commis sioner of agriculture. One bv one the political possibilities are being eliminated. The Jackson Progress-Argus issued last week a twenty-two page fair edition which was a credit to Jackson and Butts coun ty. It was well supported by ad vertisements by enterprising bus iness men of that community. We congratulate editor Jones on tne general makeup and appear ance of this splendid edition. —Cochran Journal. UNION RIDGE Miss Irene Lavender spent Saturday night and Sunday with Miss Wylene Nolen.
