BUSINESS HOUSES
CLOSE CHRISTMAS
CHRISTMAS SEASON WILL BE
GENERALLY OBSERVED AS
HOLIDAY. CHRISTMAS TREES
FOR THE LITTLE FOLKS
Business houses will 'be closed next
Monday, Christmas Day.
All business will be suspended as
citizens observe the greatest holiday
on the calendar.
The post office will observe Sun
day hours, receiving and dispatching
mail but there will be no delivery of
mail either by the city or rural car
riers.
The various churches will have ap
propriate programs, featured by mu
sic appropriate to the Christmas sea
son. Chirstmas trees for the little
folks are planned by the various
churches of the county.
The schools and colleges will be
closed for the holiday season and it
will be a gay season for the boys
and girls.
The various relief organizations
have made ample provision to take
care of the poor and unfortunate in
the county and Santa Claus will be
a visitor to every home, according to
present indications.
The holiday season in Butts coun
ty, and this is true all over the coun
try, is featured by increased business
and larger buying. Recent figures
show that more than four million
persons have been put to work and
for countless thousands this will be
the best Christmas they have seen
in a number of years. Local business
men declare business is better than
for several years. The weekly pay
rolls incident to the 270 men on
CWA projects are making for great
er confidence %pd brisk spending.
Christmas 1933 will find the coun
try more hopeful and optimistic than
ir, a long period. And for this every
citizen will return profound thanks
as he prepares to celebrate the natal
day of the Savior.
Jackson Schools
To Begin Spring
Term January 8
At a meeting of the Jackson Board
of Education last week it was decid
ed to postpone the opening of the
Jackson public schools from January
i to January 8. This was deemed ad
visable on account of the epidemic
of measles. By that date it is hoped
the situation will have cleared up
and the attendance be up to normal.
The Pepperton and Tussahaw
schools were forced to close earlier
than planned due to the measles epi
aemic.
Both the city and counity school
systems will close for the Christmas
holidays on December 22. The coun
ty system plans to begin the spring
term on January 1.

Attractive Are
Windows For
Holiday Season
Jackson business houses are being
complimented on the attractive win
dows prepared for the Chirstmas
season. The use of holly, cedar and
pretty Christmas decorations make
the windows most atractive. Some ol'
the stores have Christmas trees on
the sidewalks in front of their doors
and this makes a striking and pleas
ing effect.
Business concerns of the communi
ty have bought well assorted stocks
for the Christmas season and these
are displayed in a most appealing
manner. So complete and representa
tive are the stocks of goods that
Chirstmas shopping will be made
easy. Certainly there is no use for
one to leave home to obtain the
things he wants—not when he can
get it from local 'business concerns.
Spurred by the CWA pay rolls hol
iday business is better than for many
years past, the merchants report.
PRESBYTERIAN S. SCHOOL
TO HAVE CHRISTMAS TREE
" r
Next Sunday morning at the Sun- j
day school hour the Presbyterian |
church will have the annual Christ-1
i
mas tree for the children. In addition j
to the distribution of gifts there will
be a short program. Sunday school
meets at 10 o’clock and doubtless
Santa will be welcomed by a large
attendance, particularly of the little
folks.
In cattle, pigs and mankind more
males than females are born.

KtPORT ON CHICAGO
TRIP BY MR. DRAKE
FARM AGENT TOLD KIWANIS
CLUB OF CONDITIONS IN OTH
ER SECTIONS. LADIES’ NIGHT
TO BE OBSERVED
County Agricultural Agent B. M.
Drake made an interesting report on
hie recent trip to Chicaga, where he
attended the national convention of
Agricultural Agents, to members of
the Kiwanis club Tuesday night.
Mr. Drake contrasted agricultural
conditions in the South with those he
found in the North. In Indiana, Illi
nois and other states he was impress
ed, he said, with the absence of ne
groes, mules and cotton. Farmers in
those states have done much to pre
vent washing of land by planting
grains and cover crops, Mr. Drake
pointed out.
After talking with county agents
from all sections of the nation Mr.
Drake gave it as his reaction that
farm conditions are improving.
Wheat farmers have been given help,
much after the fashion of the cotton
farmers, and are feeliny more op
timistic. The successful campaign for
cotton acreage reduction proved of
great help in getting government aid
for other lines of agriculture, it was
stated.
The people of all sections of the
country are 'backing up President
Roosevelt and his plans will prove
beneficial to all interests, it was
shown.
In Chicago Mr. Drake attended a
meeting of the Kiwanis clubs. Head
quarters of Kiwanis International are
in Chicago and the several clubs in
and about Chicago entertained the
members of the 4-H clubs. He was

THIRTEEN COUNTIES IN MID
DLE GEORGIA AREA COMPOSE
BODY. BUTTS PLACES TWO
MEMBERS AS DIRECTORS
At a meeting held in Atlanta De
cember 13 a Production Credit Cor
poration was organized for thirteen
counties in this section.
Butts, Henry, Clayton, Fayette,
Coweta, Rockdale, Fulton, Douglas,
Cobb, Paulding, Gwinnett, Spalding
and DeKalb are the counties compos
ing the group.
The headquarters will be in At
lanta. Later if the needs of any coun
ty are sufficient to authorize a sep
arate credit corporation such a body
will be set up, it is declared.
The new organization, which takes
the place of the Crop Production
Loan office, which has functioned for
the past few years, will loan money
for the production of cotton and for
dairy and beef cattle production.
Money will be loaned up to $1,000,-
000 at 6 per cent interest. Farmers
who 'borrow must take stock in the
new body.

named' directors for Butts county.

Fletcher, B, M. Drake.
The new corporations will begin
taking applications about the first
of January. There will be a represen
tative in each county to take appli -
cations and make inspections before
the loans are granted.
Butts county had hoped to have a
credit corporation of its own, or to
join with Henry and Spalding in
forming such an organization, but
the policy of the government is to
place several counties in a credit
group.
