believe there will ever be a Joe
Pottle boom in Georgia.—La-
Grange Graphic.
TICKS AND OFFICE SEEKING
The cattle tick has been under fire for several years. The
United States government is after the pest, and the states are on
his trail. The day of the festive tick seems to be numbered.
The cattle tick has played many parts, acted many roles, caus
ed considerable agitation and disturbance, but now that the pest is
being drawn into politics the climax has been reached.
Take the tick out of politics. The people are onto the game
and it won’t work.
The tick-political boom has been punctured.
THE JACKSON HOME GUARDS
The soldier who is at the front protecting his home and yours
deserves all the consideration that can be shown him. He is rep
resenting his country. He is a patriot.
Men called to the colors, forced to leave their families and give
up good salaries to accept sls a month, show patriotism of the
highest order. In many cases these soldiers gave up good posi
tions paying from $75 to $l5O a month. Think of the condition in
which their families are now placed.
Families of soldiers will not be able to live out of the sls paid
enlisted men for fighting their country’s battles. The duty de
volves upon the citizens at home to take care of the families of
men at the border.
Let Jackson take the initiative in this matter. The citizens of
the community can raise a considerable sum and see that no family
is allowed to suffer on account of the absence of the head of the
family.
Business men can help. Not only hold the job open for the
man who has joined the colors, but continue his pay. He is mak
ing a sacrifice in offering up his services, perhaps his life, and why
shouldn’t the employer also make a sacrifice?
Dallas, Texas, is raising a fund of SB,OOO to take care of 104
dependent families of soldiers in that city.
Jackson must do her full duty by the men in khaki who have
answered their country’s call.
Mexico isn’t United States size
and it looks bad for a strong na
tion to have to jump on a weak
one, but something must be done
if this country is to maintain its
self respect.
To read the Atlanta papers one
would think the Fifth regiment
could clean up Mexico before
breakfast. It was the Second regi
ment, to which the Jackson comp
any is attached, that was the first
to mobilize.
About all ot the staff of The

old way.
It looks like Uncle Sam will
have to spank those Greasers,
after all.—Greensboro Herald-
Journal.
Yes, spank ’em after all, all
over, in the veranda, rotunda,
vestibule and other vital spots.
The daily papers are advancing
the price of subscription. It had
to come. Newspapers have sold
too cheap.—Jackson Progress-
Argus. If they don’t get more
money for their subscription and
advertising they will have to quit
business. The highness for all
newspaper supplies are forcing
all newspapers to increase their
rates.—Griffin News and Sun.

If Macon gets the capital she is
going to have to turn loose some
of her hard-earned cash. Anew
building will cost several million
dollars at least.—Jackson Pro

A WORD FOR MOTHERS
It is a grave mistake for mothers to neg
lect their aches and pains and suffer in
silence —this only leads to chronic sick
ness and often shortens life.
If your work is tiring; if your nerves are
excitable; if you feel languid, weary or
depressed, you should know that Scott’s
Emulsion overcomes just such conditions.
It possesses in concentrated form the
very elements to invigorate the blood,

and build strength. (
Scott’s is strengthening thousands oi
mothers —and will help you. No alcohol.
