Now for the State Fair.
Christmas is just around the
corner.
Now is the time to prepare for
the 1917 fair.
Glad the fair is over-prouder
still that it was a success.
Mr. Blood worth in defeat is as
popular as he was in victory.
Soon be time to re-elect Wood
row Wilson, the great Democrat
ic President.
Cotton, flour and print paper
are having a race to see which
reaches the sky first.
The big question right now is,
will you be ready for the boll
weevil when it comes.
Butts county ought to have the
best fair in Georgia next year.
All that is needed is harmony
and co-operation.
John M. Parker and his Bull
Moosers are supporting Wilson
for President. So is Thomas A.
Edison and so is Henry Ford.
The Georgia troops are really
going to the border this time.
We are betting on the Jackson
Rifles to take care of their share
of greasers.
The common people with their
dollar contributions to the Wilson
campaign fund must fight Wall
Street and its millions. Have
you given your dollar yet?
Atlanta is having the big $250,-
000 Southeastern fair this week.
Butts county boys and girls are
well represented in the club work
and should win some substantial
prizes.
I
Hon. J. D. Price has been elec-1
ted as director of the Experiment !
Station to succeed Prof. R. J. H.
DeLoach, resigned. It is under
stood Mr. Price will resign as
Commissioner of Agriculture the
first of January.
The Jackson Progress-Argus
continues to grow brighter and
better with each issue. This pa
per came out with fourteen pa
ges last week which we claim is
a live and prosperous paper for
Jackson. The merchants and
citizens of Jackson and Butts
county should appreciate this live
paper and continue to contrib
ute to its upbuilding.—Talbotton

WHY NOT A FOUR-COUN
TY FAIR
The editors of The News are in
receipt of a season ticket to the
Butts County Fair which is in
progress in Jackson this week,
and we wish to thank that prince
of good fellows, Doyle Jones, ed
itor of the Jackson Progress-Ar
gus for this favor. We regret
that we are unable to take in the
exhibition across the Ocmulgee,
which, we understand from those
who have visited the fair from
Monticello and Jasper county, is
a splendid success in every way.
When Jasper pulls off her fair in
19—we will reciprocate, friend
Doyle, by inviting you to ours. —
Monticello News.
We are sorry you couldn’t be
with us, for the fair was splen
did. The thing to do is for Jas
per, Henry and Monroe to join
hands with Butts county and put
on a fair next year that will be
the biggest thing in Middle Geor
gia. Why not a four-county fair
with Butts, Jasper, Henry and
Monroe counties participating?
We have the building and the
grounds and the location and
would be glad to have our neigh
boring counties join us in the fair
movement.
Let’s have an expression from
editors Penn, Fouche and Blood
worth along this line.
The boll weevil is appearing
all around this section. Still you
find people who don’t believe
there is any such animal. They
are due to receive a great eye
opening before long
A WORD FOR MOTHERS
It is a grave mistake for mothers to neg
lect tlieir aches ami pains and sutler in
silence —this only leads to chronic sick
ness and often shortens life.
If your work is tiring; if your nerves are
excitable: if yon 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,
strengthen the tissues, nourish the nerves
and build strength.
Scott’s is strengthening thousands o 4
Blethers —and will help you. No alcohol.

Its possession will enrich your life and the
i lives of every member of your family.
The freedom and wider range of activity
made possible by such a car are worth
many times its price.
The price is by far the lowest at which so big
and fine and comfortable a car ever sold.
Big —the wheelbase is 112 inches.
THE COUNTY FAIR
The Butts County Fair which
closed last week was an unquali
fied success.
A splendid collection of exhib
its of the farm, club work, live
stock, arts and women’s work
were displayed. Though praise
worthy, the exhibits should have
been much larger. The progress
ive, wide-awake farmers of Butts
county should see to it that every
inch of space is filled with exhib
its another year.
Considering the odds—politics,
cattle ticks, and other things—
the fair association made a really
remarkable showing. Since the
first effort was a financial suc
cess, the public in general will
be more willing now to lend a
helping hand. Temerity has giv
en way to confidence. Conser
vatively and economically mana
ged, the enterprise is a safe in
vestment, to say nothing of town
and county pride and community
loyalty. If the fair is responsi
ble for a better order or farming,
and promotes interest in the live
stock industry, this will be the big
gest dividend the enterprise can
pay.
Without doubt the officers of
the association got much exper
ience that will be valuable later
on. Mistakes, as was to be ex
pected. were made, but they were
made in an honest and conscien
tious etfort to do what they be
lieved was right. This year the
officers were new in the fair bus
iness but today they are seasoned
and hardened veterans, wise to
many of the ins and outs of the
fair game and with experience
that will prove invaluable.
It is not too much to hope that
those who for any cause, real or
fancied, withheld their support
from the fair this year will be
found in the trenches fighting
shoulder to shoulder for a bigger
and better fair next season.
Butts county’s greatest need is
to get together. There has been
enough politics, petty squabbling
and spiteful factionalism to last
for years. Forget it and turn to

Come in today—we can’t get them as fast as
we sell them —so order yours right j
things worth while.
The future of the county fair
is in the hands of the people. By
harmony, co-operation and a sol
id pull together the Butts county
fair can be made the equal of
any in the South.
The effort is worth while. Are
you ready to do your part?

JACKSON EVIDENCE
FOR JACKSON PEOPLE
~a>
The Statement of Jackson
Residents are Surely
More Reliable Than
Those of Utter
Strangers
Home testimony is real proof.
Public statements of Jackson people
carry real weight.
What a friend or neighbor says eom
p Is respect.
The word of on*'whose home is far
away invites your doubts.
Here’-* a Jackson man’s stat rnent.
And it’s for Jacks* >n peoples benefit.
Huch evidence is convincing.
That’s the kind of proof that backs
Doan's Kidney Pi:ls.
t. H. Miller, Pastor of Presbyterian
church, Mulberry st., Jackson, says:
“I was almost down with my back
and suffered severely, especially in the
morning. I had other symptons of
kidney trouble. I used Doan’s Kidney
Pills and they relieved the pains in my
back and the other symptoms of kid
ney trouble went away. I usually keep
Doan’s Kidney Pills on hand and
when my kidneys annoy me, they nev
er fail to give relief.”
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t sim-j
piy ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mr. Miller had. Foster Milburn Cos.,
