A COUNTY EDUCATIONAL ATH
LETIC MEET
By Bernard Harper
Since the meetin g of the State
High Schools in 1916 schools which
are not accredited cannot enter the
State High School Meet. Therefore
only one school in Butts county can
enter these contests. As there is some
good material in the county why not
have a County Educational-Athletic
Meet. One day in the spring could be
taken for the meet and give a holiday
throughout t he county. There could
be contests in debating, music, ora
tions, jumping, running and other
events which usually take place at a
meet of this kind. The merchants
anti citizens throughout the county
would be willing to give premiums and
medals to the winners. The contest
would be open for Butts county
school pupils only. There would be
two classes in the contest —the gram
mar school pupils and the high school
pupils. A meeting of this kind would
bring the schools together. It would
cause the pupils to think more of
their bodily development and would
make them better physically and
mentally.
NEW YAEIt’S RESOLUTIONS
By Mae Childs
The old year has gone and the new
year has come. We should all make
new resolutions to practice during
the year. Our society has made a res
olution not to idle our timo away and
always to give good attention at all
times. During the past year we can
look back and see our mistakes. Let
us profit by them.
When we look back in ages long
ago, we see how some of our authors
used their time. F(Tr instance William
Cullen Bryant, when he wrote his
masterpiece known as fhanatopsis.
It is hoped that no one will depart
from our resolution and we are sure
if they don’t at the end of one year’s
work, we can see. where progress has
been made.

JACKSON GARAGES WILL
CLOSE UP ON SUNDAYS
According to an advertisement now
being published, the various garages
in Jackson will close on Sundays, be
ginning January 13. Persons who are
interested in securing a supply of
gasoline for use on Sunday had bet
ter lay it in Saturday. No more gas
oline will be sold on Sunday, after
the date named.
This action will no doubt meet with
general approval. It will give the
clerks and mechanics a deserved day
of rest, and will work no hardship on
any person owning a car.

The New. Home of
the Puige
Paige cars have become a familiar sight wherever automobiles are
encountered.
These cars have “backed up” every last claim that has been made for
them. Through sheer merit of the product, they now occupy an
unchallenged position of leadership in the moderate price field.
Never have we witnessed such a tidal wave of demand as that which
has developed for the two Paige six*cylinder models.
So, there was only one thing to and the sales rights for Paige
- cars in this territory.
And that is precisely what we have done.
The New Home of the Paige, we frankly believe, is one of the most
completely equipped retail automobile establishments in this
territory.
Beyond the slightest shadow of doubt —the Paige Sixes have become
leaders in the “light Six field.”
These cars have been instantly recognized as the greatest six'cylinder
values now available.
No other construction can be placed upon such overwhelming prefer*
ence on the part of men who know motor cars.
And—in conclusion —please remember —
When you buy a car from us we insist upon sharing the responsibility.
That car is our reputation running around on four wheels, and it is
the first duty of every man in this organization to see that your
Paige continues to run —every day in the week — every week in
the year.
This is what we mean by service.
But come in. We shall do our best to make your visit interesting.
Let us show you exaedy what we have to offer. Let us discuss this
automobile problem from your standpoint quite as well as our own.
