Why not some feed mills for
Butts county? Let’s be ready
before the boll weevil comes.
The farmers ought to make
1917 the greatest hog and hominy
year in the history of Georgia.
When a party of Savannah
capitalists bought a Macon bank
for a cool million, that is what
we call high finance.
Cotton going: up, paper going
up, flour going up, meat going
up, coal going up—advice is the
only cheap thing left.
Now is the time to push the
1917 session of the Butts county
fair. By starting early the fair
can be made a humdinger.
Packing plants are being put
up at a number of points over
the state. This is the kind of
boll weevil prepardeness we like
to see.
About 165,000 persons paid to
see the Southeastern fair in At
lanta. That is just a little better
than the attendance at the Butts
county fair, but we’re on the
way.
The official ballot for the gen

The Jackson Progress-Argus
hasn’t got an editor. We judge
as much by the fact that it didn’t
have an editorial page last week.

For the same reason would you
say the supply of the grand old
buttermilk was exhausted be
cause the cow kicked over the
pail? The editor was engaged in
the agonizingly pleasant, excru
ciatingly delectable work of try
ing to run a county fair, and af
ter putting in about 18 hours a
day thusly he didn’t have the
nerve to write a single editorial
Are we excused?
The Jackson R’fles, “Butts
County’s Own,” are off to the
border. The sincere good wishes
of the citizens of the community
go with the soldier boys. Here’s
hoping they’ll be home for Christ
mas.
We don’t know anything about
“The Days of Forty-Nine,” but
we propose to get wise at the
Griffin fair next week.—Griffin
News and Sun.
The “49” show is a great in
stitution, friend Duke. It cures
the blues and makes old men hop
and skip like sixteen-year-olds.
In refusing to see newspaper
men. Governor Harris made a
big mistake. The chief of police
in Savannah barred the staff of
the Savannah Morning News
from police headquarters once
upon a time, and the consequence
was the Morning News had more
police court news than ever be
fore in its history. The news
paper boys have a way of getting
news and the more opposition
thrown in their wav, the harder
they work. Besides, the news
papers of the state have been
good to Uncle Nat.
Here’s a special invitation to
Editors Bloodworth, Simmons,
Doyle Jones, Camp, Shope and
Johnny Jones to visit the Griffin
next work and take in the Griffin
fair. Woods Hammond, presi
dent of the fair association, and
mayor-elect of Griffin, has prom
ised to help us entertain the news
paper boys. Enough said! —
Griffin News and Sun.
We appreciate your invitation,
and will be with you in spirit, at
least. A good number of Butts
county went over to Griffin for
the fair this week. Griffin can
always be depended on to stage
a successful year.

Women’s Woes
Jackson Women Are Find
ing Relief at Last
It doesseein that women have more
than a fair share of the aches and pains
that afflict humanity; they must
••keep up,” must attend to duties in
spite of constantly achi n g 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 tile kidneys well lias spared

Mrs. W.T. Burk, Oak St., Jackson,

weak and my back ached. I was sore
and lame and the least move sent pains
