CLEAN UP
The rains have come and the
floods have descended, and it is
important right now that you
look after your premises. A good
cleaning will in all probability
save a lot of sickness this sum
mer. So much rain has fallen that
mosquitoes are likely to be trou
blesome. Disinfectants should be
used liberally. Set your premises
in order and thereby lessen the
the chances of sickness.
This is a matter that the whole
community should take upat once.
The city authorities will do well
to see that all streets, alleys and
by-places are thoroughly cleaned
up right away.
A little precaution now may
save you a doctor’s bill later on.
The thing to do is to clean up and
do it thoroughly and effectively.
Butts County-Fair, Oct. 9-14.
Clean up your premises. Do it
now.
Now, all together for the Butts
County Fair.
A boost for your home town is
a boost for yourself.
Get vour display ready for the
Greater Butts County Fair.
What has become of the old
fashioned captain of industry?
Life at Camp Harris seems to
be just one drill after another.
It is not out of place to swat
the pesky mosquito right now.
It’s going to be great—the
Butts County Fair, October 9-14.
Tell the world Butts is going
to have the best county fair in
the state.
Hey. Prof. Snider: We want
you to give us some fair weather

Looks like the old “Scrappy
Sixth” is in for another hot con
gressional fight this year.
The capital removal talk hurts
Governor Harris. Atlanta seems
to be getting together on Dorsey,
an Atlanta man. Of course. At
lanta is scared.
The candidatesarehurling"char
ges and counter charges at their
opponents with utter abandon.
The voters are not greatly inter
ested in this display of fireworks
j Surely this is an off political
jyear. "Bunk” Cooperand Rufe
Hutchens are not running for of
fice.
The gubernatorial campaign is
beginning to take on some snap.
Look for the fireworks from now
on to the primary.
A jint ’spute with Messrs.
Harris, Dorsey, Hardman and
Pottle participating would stir up
the natives. If there is to be
such a performance Jackson is
anxious to have the debate sta
ged here.
Governor Harris has pardoned
Stripling. The world admires
him for making good his promise
to Stripling’s little daughter. It
also shows that Governor Harris
has a stiff backbone as well as a
big heart.
Has anybody seen Prof. Snider?
—Jackson Progress-Argus.
It is reported that Prof. Snider
has been washed away by the
heavy rains he predicted would
not visit Georgia this summer.

A cow hide sold in Moultrie
recently for $21.25. It weighed
125 pounds and brought 17 cents a
pound, according to the Observer.
Not many years ago, you could
have bought a small bunch of cat
tle in Moultrie for that money.
Better plant a few calves and
pigs, boys; the boll weevil is
coming.—Tifton Gazette.
It is all right for Butts county
to spend money on her public
roads and people like to see it
done, but we must spend more
money on our public schools.
Surely, the education of our chil
dren is more important than the
building of good highways. Why
not lop of a mill or so from the
road fund and allow the Board of
Education to levy a larger tax
for the common school fund?
Does anybody know of a good
reason why this should not be
done?
Tifton Gazette.
If a man has a disease that
amounts to anything one dose of
the best medicine in the world
for that particular disease will
not cure it. Yet there are men
foolish enough to think it can be
done. Too, there are merchants
who have tried to cure their busi
ness needs disease with a one-time
ad. It won’t do it. The only way
that business can be stimulated
through advertising is to go about
the matter in the right way and
then keep everlastingly at it.

A man raises a bale of cotton,
he sells it to the buyer, he sells
it to the cotton factor, he sells it
to the manufacturer, he makes
it into cotton products. He then
sells it to the manufacturing
agent, he sells it to the jobber,
he sells it to the wholesaler, he
sells it to the retailer, he sells it
to the original raiser, and he pays
| all these middlemen a profit, and
wipes his weeping eyes with a
cotton rag and goes to his grave
a servant of all.
Scoffers Pay The Penalty
Those who ignore warning signals of

It means that NEW quality, in a cigarette, that does
for your smoking exactly what a drink of cold water does
for your thirst!

To satisfy, a cigarette must do far more than just
“please” you—it must let you know you *ve been smoking ;
That’s what Chesterfields do—they satisfy! And yet
they’re MILD!
For the first time in the history of cigarettes, here’s
at cigarette that satisfies and yet is mild! Chesterfields!
Other cigarettes may be mild, but they don’t satisfy.
BUT, Chesterfields satisfy —yet they’re mild!
This is new enjoyment for a cigarette to give. It is
something that no cigarette, except Chesterfields, can give
you—regardless of price.
Why?
Because no cigarette maker can copy the Chesterfield
blend!
Try Chesterfields— today!
