TWO STORES AND JACKSON
fCE small sum ok
MONEY WAS TAKEN
Burglars picked Sunday night for
a wholesale raid on Jackson business
houses, no less than three attempts
at robbery being reported.
The store of the Barnes Trading
Company was entered through a rear
window by pulling away an iron
and the sum of three dollars was
stolen, it was said. This is one of
numerous raids made on that estab
lishment.
Effoi'ts were made to enter the
store of Etheridge-Smith Company,
large department store. A part of
the screen over a window in the
office was torn away.
The plant of the Jackson Ice Cor
'poration was singled out for a raid.
Entrance to the plant was gained
through a rear door after the screen
had been cut from the window. W.
E. Jackson on duty at the plant at
n'ght frightened away the marauder.
All of the cases were reported to
officers and they are working on
certain clues. Their investigations as
yet have revealed nothing of a defi
nite nature, it is stated.
Justice delayed is justice denied.

in Jackson in January, 1883, Judge
Beck holds a warm place in his heart
for Butts county. He says the annual
meetings of the Flint Bar Association
gives him more pleasure than any
occasion of the year. And it is equal
ly true that Butts county takes pride
in Judge Beck and has followed his
distinguished career with interest.

JACKSON PUBLIC SCHOOLS END
A YEAR OF SUCCESSFUL EFFORI
FARMERS FORCED TO
TREAT OWR LIVESTOCK
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
REFUSES TO SEND REPRESEN
TATIVE TO COUNTY FOR
BLACKLEG OUTBREAK
Farmers of Georgia who havev hog
cholera or diseases among cattle or
other outbreaks in livestock will
have to have the animals treated at
their own expense, it is shown in a
case that arose in Butts county last
week. The case is one of far-reach
ing importance and the last of the
case has not been heard.
The facts are as follows:
Early last week a cow died in the
pasture of W. A. White at Stark
and blackleg was believed the cause.
County Agent B. M. Drake called
Dr. J. M. Sutton, state veterinarian,
who informed Mr. Drake that he
would have to send a telegram, which
is used as authority to present the
matter to the commissioner of agri
culture and he in turn to the budget
commission for 'approval or refusal.
The budget commission is composed
of the governor and state auditor.
In this particular case the state
authorities refused to send a vet
erinarian to Butts county to look
into the fatal outbreak among cat
tle. Blackleg is fatal to cattle and
there is no known remedy, inocula
tion being the only way to cope with
the disease.
Mr. Drake went to Atlanta and
obtained the medicine and inoculated
the herd, composed of .some twenty
animals.
The legislature this year appro
priated $50,000 to the veterinary de
partment, but Governor Talmadgc
vetoed this section of the appropria
tion bill, along with a $20,000 grant
to the paper research laboratory at
Savannah.
The veterinary department, by far
the most important part of the work
of the department of agriculture, is
hamstrung for lack of funds and as
a consequence the farmers of Geor
gia stand to face heavy losses ir.
their livestock.
REVIVAL SERVICES TO

other citids, will preach Sunday
morning at 11 o’clock and in the
evening at 7:30. Two services will
be held daily, the hours to be an
nounced foliowing Sunday’s service.
The pastor and official board of
the church invites the people of the
enure county to attend all services.
It is especially desired that singers
take part, as the music will be made
enjoyable features of all meetings.
