Buying Drugs
Blindfolded
A Bad Practice
Doctors throughout the world
agree there is no greater folly than
to buy and take unknown drug;,.
Ask your own doctor.
So—when you go into a store
for real Bayer Aspirin, see that
you get it.
Remember that doctors en
dorse Genuine Bayer Aspirin as
SAFE relief for headache, colds,
sore throat, pains of rheumatism
and neuritis, etc.
Just remember this. Demand
and get Genuine
does not harm

ON OCCUPATIONAL TAXES
An extension of thirty days in
which to pay the graduated state oc

payment and the penalties at this
time would work a hardship on small
business men.

giaduated tax is provided for non
payment, along with prosecution for
a misdemeanor. The entire amount
collected goes to the state treasury.

COUNTY HISTORIAN OUTLINES
SCOPE OF COMPLETED WORK
(Continued from page one)
honors for the establishment of a
community that has grown with the
passing years, and, not bounded by
county lines, reaches out to various
parts of the nation. Although then
mortal remains have long ago ming
led with the dust, their decendants
are still carrying on in Butts county
and elsewhere to make the world
brighter and better.
To the court records we are in
debted for a glimpse of real condi
tions in the past, owing to the custom
of the early grand juries to express
their wiitten opinion relative to th- 1
times. It seems as if voices of long
ego were telling the story of pasi.
days.
The names of tax payers, juries,
and church members reveal the early
settlers. As Time, the magazine,
says: “Names make news.”
The aim has been not so much
to entertain the reader with a recital
of facts as to preserve for succeeding
generations the basic da„a of family
histories. Exact dates are some
what tiresome and statistical, bul
how often in research for data one
wishes for more details, a date omit
ted, a place unnamed, that, would
have unraveled a genealogical tangle.
My task has been not to manufac
ture fiction, pleasing to the ear and
Lull of interest, but to record the
truth of events in a plain and simple
manner. There has been no attempi
at fine writing in portraying facts,
hut, with a forward look to future
generations, an earnest desire to pre
ceive for posterity in an unbiased
manner, the facts as found.
No mortal is infallible and al
though time has been spent in a con
scientious effort to obtain the facts,
errors may have crept in proving
the frailties and limitations of human
beings.
To the county officials in the
court house for their kindness and
assistance in placing at my disposal
the records for reseach; to Miss lipth
Flair, the efficient State Historian,
(or her generous help in searching
the Department of Archieves and
History; and to all others who have
in any way rendered assistance in
the compilation of the county’s his
tory, 1 am greatly indebted.
