Official Organ Butts County And the City of Jackson. Are you pulling for the fair? Paint up, clean up —and do it now. High gasoline has nothing on the price of paper. Both are out •of sight. Now they say a candidate took Tanlac and like to have run him self to death. The paper heroes and tin horn patriots seem willing to let the regulars catch Villa. It was ever thus. Prof. Snider has quit running the weather and has gone to farming.' Ought to be more profi table. The fact that Georgia buys $11,000,000 worth of western meat annually shows that pork is popular. Every citizen should co-operate with the Civic League and make clean up week, April 5 to 12, a rousing success. Save your waste paper, is the warning given by the govern ment. It may become as valua ble as gasoline, cotton seed and <aadium. Another tragedy of real life. The candidates believed every liolitical promise made them was Ante. But they were only promises.

LINIMENT CANDIDATE FOUND IT EXPENSIVE Below is given the expense ac count of a Hall countv candidate, who favored a late primary, says the Gainsville, Ga., News. From this time on he says he will favor an early primary, al though he never again will be a candidate. Here is the way he put it down: “Lost four months and thirty three days canvassing; 1,349 hours thinking about the election, five acres of cotton, a whole sweet potato crop, four sheep, five shoats and beef given to a barbe cue; two front teeth and a consid erable quantity of hair in a per- sonal skirmish. Gave 97 plugs of tobacco, seven Sunday schools books, two pair of suspenders, four calico dresses, seven dolls and thirteen baby rattlers. “Told 2,889 lies; shook hands 38,475 times talked enough to have made in print 1,000 large volumes; kissed 126 babies, kind led fourteen kitchen fires and cut three cords of wood, parted with 300 bundles of fodder, picked 700 pounds of cotton, helped load several wagon loads of corn, dug fourteen bushels of potatoes, tout ed 27 buckets of water, put up seven stoves, was dog bit four times, watch broken by baby, cost three dollars to have repaired. “Loaned three barrels of flour, fifty bushels of meal, 150 pounds of bacon, thirty-seven pounds of butter, 82 dozen eggs, three um brellas, thirteen lead pencils, one Bible dictionary, one mower blade, two hoes, one overcoat, five boxes paper collars, none of which have been returned. 4 ‘Called an opponent a perambu lating liar—doctor’s bill $lO. Had five arguments with my wife result, one flower vase smashed, one broom handle broken, one dish of hash knocked from table, one shirt bosom ruined, two hand fuls whiskers pulled out, 10c worth of sticking plaster bought. “Besides I spent $1,768. Never again!” Well, the “jint ’spute” between Jasper and Butts county has come to an amicable close. According to agreement Jasper county will receive one-third of taxes from the big power plant on the Oc mulgee river.—Monticello News. This was a lot of litigation that was uncalled for, unnecessary and tremendously expensive. Pity, Brother Penn, that the of ficials of the two counties did not get their heads together in the beginning. As usual, the tax payer is the goat. HAVE YOU BEEN SICK?

Calomel is Quicksilver and Acts Like Dynamite on Your Liver. Calomel loses you a day! You know what calomel is. It’s mer cury; quicksilver. Calomel is dan gerous. It crashes into sour bile i like dynamite, cramping and sick i ening you. Calomel attacks the ! bones and should never be put I into your system. When you feel bilious, sluggish, constipated and all knocked out , and believe you need a dose of dangerous calomel just remember ; that your druggist sells for 50 cents a large bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone, which is entirely veg • etable and pleasant to take and is a perfect substitute for calo mel. It is guaranteed to start 1 your liver without stirring you up inside, and cannot salivate. Don’t take calomel! It makes you sick the next day; it loses you a day’s work. Dodson’s Liv er Tone straightens you right up and you feel great.

(adv) Women’s Woes Jackson Women Are Find ing Relief at Last It does seem that women have more than a fair share of the aches and pains that afflict humanity; they must 4i keep up,” must attend to duties in spite of constantly aching backs, or headaches, dizzy spells, bearing-down pains; they must stoop over, when to stoop means torture. They must walk and bend and work with racking pains and many aches from kidney ills. Keeping the kidneys well has spared thousands of women much misery. Read of a remedy for kidneys only that is endorsed by people you know. Mrs. \V. T. Burk, Oak St., Jackson, says: “My kidneys had always been weak and my back ached. I was sore and lame and the least move sent pains all through ray body. My sight be came blurred and little, black objects floated before my eyes. I could hard ly stand at times on account of dizzi ness. The kidney secretions were un natural. Doan’s Kidney Pills cured me of all signs of kidney trouble and I have had no return of it.” Price 60, at all dealers.
