Jackson Progress-Argus Published Every Friday. J. DOYLE JON EH, Editor and Pub. Subscription $1 a Year Entered as second-class matter at the post oftice at Jackson, Ga. Telephone No. IGG. Official Organ Butts County And the City of Jackson. Pav up, straighten up, get right. Pay as you go and if you can’t pay don’t go. It will soon he in order to swap au auto for a can of gasoline. Swear off now and you’ll be used to it by the first of May. Here’s to the new year’s reso lution never made but always kept. Bi-ennial sessions? Sure, we’re for bi-ennial sessions of the leg islature. Let’s see if we can’t land some new enterprises for the commu nity before the year is out. Resolve to do as you darn please —as long as you treat everybody right—and let it go at that. Buttermilk may yet be the na tional drink. It has no headaches and contains no remorse. Did you resolve to trade with home merchants this year? Well, that’s one resolution you ought to keep. The more we see of Atlanta and her recall troubles the more we are in favor of Macon for the state capital. The mayor of Savannah says he will enforce the prohibition law in that city. Good. Enforce the law or repeal it. A total of nineteen states are now in the prohibition column, seven states having joined the dry ranks January first. Georgia will put in the field | this year more than five thousand i candidates for the various offices. 1 Take some ring to hold all these, hats. to'liw honestly, pay Vour just debts, give eve\y man a sou are deal and boost your home town and you can’t go far wrong. If the people of Georgia could get rid of the prison commission and a score or so of other useless public officials. it would be fine business. Now that leap year is upon us, we hope to see the bashful young editor of the Monroe Advertiser led to the altar by some corn fed. Et, tu, Duke, of the Griffin News. With this issue the Progress- Argusbegins its forty-fourthy ear. In the years to come, as in the years past, the paper will strive to serve the community faithfully and work for the best interests of Butts county and her citizens. The Macon papers are not warming, up to Governor Harris in his second campaign very fast. Come on, boys, it’s loyalty to support home candidates. Wish some of the candidates for state offices had the nerve to run without promising to reduce taxes, and when they get elected consistently lie about it. If the L. & N. railroad persists in trying to parallel the state road an extra session of the leg islature may be called, it is sta ted. Extra sessions are getting to be common things. The Main Question A man asks: “Is it durable?” A woman asks: “Is it stylish?” A child asks: “Is it good to eat?” —Judge. Butts county should make this the best year of all in the corn, canning, pig and poultry club work. The state will need all the hog and hominy it can muster when the boll weevil arrives. When public officials regard public business as a sacred trust, instead of a means of rewarding political supporters, you’ll hear less bellyaching and grumbling about high taxes. A WORTH WHILE KING From the Jackson, Miss., News: He rode on the observation plat form of a cotton wagon. His fleecy staple had just brought 12 cents per pound. The money was down in his pocket. No man had an account against him of a dime. The mules trotted along over the smooth pavement and his wagon was well filled with things needed for the family larder. A neat bundle over in the cor ner contained a dress pattern, ten yards of blue checked gingham for the faithful wife. The little bag was full of candy for the baby. He whistled as Pete and Buck turned their heads homeward. It was near eventide; a few clouds had gathered over in the west and the sun was cutting MOTHER!

Children sim ply will not take the time from play to empty their bowels, which become clogged up with waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach sour. Look at the tongue. Mother!

There were islands of gold float ing in a deep blue sea; there were mountains kissed with the colors of the rainbow; no painter could have made a prettier picture; no dreamer could have visited a scene more splendid in all the mysterious realm of slumberland. The occupant of the wagon en joyed it. The fresh evening breezes were as balm to his brow. There was no enmity in his heart against anyone. There was no political ambition that had gone unsatisfied. There was no arrow of ingrati tude to stick, sting and poison. He was a plain country man. He loved his wife. He loved his baby. He was going home to them—a king wearing a royal crown of kindness a king, tender, thought ful, affectionate, bearing simple gifts to liis subjects. A TEXAS WONDER.
