ZIPP ITS ON
Mr. D. F. Maddox
Claimed By Death
Mr. Dulane Forest Maddox, 72
years of age, prominent and widely
known resident, died Tuesday night
at 7 o’clock at his home a few miles
from Jackson. Death followed a
long and painful illness and resulted
from a complication of diseases.
Mr. Maddox was connected with
one of the county’s old and influen
tial families. He was a son of
Charles S. Maddox of Butts county
and Mrs. Mollie Ponder Maddox, of
Monroe county, families long iden
tified with the growth of this part
of the state. His father, a Con
federate soldier, served for many
years as Butts county school super
intendent and was widely known in
educational circles. Until his health
failed Mr. Maddox was one of the
most successful farmers in the coun
ty. He held membership in High
Falls lodge of Masons and was a man
of influence in his community.
He is survived by his wife, the
former Miss Annie Brown, of Butts
county; two sons, Paul and Franklin
Maddox; a daughter-in-law, Mrs.
Charles S. Maddox; two brothers,
Messrs. J. W. and A. C. Maddox;
four sisters, Mrs. J. D. Brownlee, of
Jackson; Mrs. W. P. Watkins, of
Washington City; Mrs. Tom Reeves
and Miss Winnie Maddox, of Atlan
ta, and four grandchildren.
Funeral services, attended by
many friends, were held at Mt. Ver
non church Wednesday afternoon at
2 o’clock and Rev. J. B. Stodghill
officiated. The pallbearers were
Clayton Garr, Wilmer Garr, Noah
Powell, Ralph Garr, Fred Proctor
and Ballard Perdue. Burial was in
the church cemetery, with Thorn
ton Funeral Home in charge of ar
rangements.
Georgia’s per • acre yield of corn
in 1938 is estimated at 11.5 bushels.
This is the same as last year.
It saves more than half the time and drudgery and
all the damage caused to clothes with old-fashioned lines
and clothes pins.
The picture tells the story—hanging up clothes with
the ZIPPER- CLOTHESLINE is just that simple.
The Zipper of Brass construction runs along two
twisted wires, on rust proof bronze bearings, separating
the wires where desired, absolutely indestructable, fool
proof and rust-proof. Wire is triple galvanized steel
spring, rust-proof and is made to stand a breaking strain
of 1,000 pounds.
The Progress-Argus will give a Zipper Clothes Line
with each two year subscription. If your subscription is
paid to date, pay two years in advance and obtain this
household necessity. The offer applies to new subscribers.

“Boys Town” And
“Sky Giant” On
At Dixie Theatre
JANE WITHERS FUNNIER THAN
EVER IN “ALWAYS IN TROU
BLE.” “BOYS TOWN” A MOV
ING DRAMA
The double feature Saturday is
Gene Autry in “Prairie Moon” and
“Illegal Traffic” with J. Carrol
Naish and Mary Carlisle.
When the members of the cast
supporting Jane Withers in her new
est 20th Century-Fox comedy, “Al
ways In Trouble,” sought diversion
and relaxation between scenes, they
invariably turned to reading the Eu
ropean news dispatches in the daily
press.
“She’s always filled with good in
tentions. She’s always trying to
help folks out. She’s always hop
ing to square things up. And al
ways—always trouble, trouble, trou
ble!
“Just look at this new picture, so
appropriately named, ‘Always In
Trouble.’ Jane and her family are
shipwrecked, marooned on a desert
island, threatened by a gang of
smugglers—you never saw anything
like it. And it’s all because Jane
had an idea!
“She thinks there isn’t a jam she
can’t get out of, and darn it, there
isn’t!”
The attraction Wednesday is Rich
ard Dix, Chester Morris and Joan
Fontaine in “Sky Giant.”
Aimed straight at the heart of
America, “Boys Town,” starring
Spencer Tracy and Mickey Rooney,
opens Thursday and Friday at the
Dixie Theatre.
Based on the story of Father Ed
ward J. Flanagan’s Boys Town, lo
cated twelve miles outside of Oma
ha, Nebraska, the role of the priest
whose mission in life is to give home
and shelter to needy boys affords
Spencer Tracy an opportunity for
one of the sincere, natural por
trayals for which he has become
deservedly famous.
Seldom has Tracy found a role
more suited to his personality than
that of the quiet idealist, Father
Flanagan, whose contention that"
“there is no such thing as a bad
boy,” leads him to build a monu
ment of faith to boys the world
over. His battle to win public opin
ion and to prove his idealistic con
tention, as well as his fight to make
good citizens of the boys who come
within his jurisdiction, provides
smash entertainment.
Sharing honors with Tracy as
Whitey, tough, unmanageable and
non-conforming, is Mickey Rooney,
cast in one of the most dramatic
roles of his career.
