“Babes In Arms”
Tops Dixie Films
For Next Week
BETTE DAVIS IN "ELIZABETH
AND ESSEX" ON THIS THURS
DAY AND FRIDAY. PRIDE OF
BLUEGRASS” WEDNESDAY
The double feature Saturday is
The Three Mesquiteers in "Cow
boys From Texas,” and James, Lu
cile and Russell Gleason in “Money
To Burn.”
Irene Dunne and Fred Mac Mu
rray bring a very tender love story
to the Dixie Monday and Tuesday
in "Invitation To Happiness” with
Charlie Ruggles, Billy Cook and
William Collier, Sr.
The attraction Wednesday is
"Pride of the Bluegrass” with Edith
Fellows, James McCallion and Gan
try, the blind horse.
On Thursday and Friday of this
week is Bette Davis and Errol Flynn
in “The Private Lives of Elizabeth
and Essex.”
Hollywood’s finest juvenile tal
ent, headed by Mickey Rooney and
Judy Garland, arrive at the Dixie
Theatre via the screen Thursday and
Friday in “Babes in Arms” and the
result is something to write home
about.
Mickey Rooney uncovers more
tricks than even his mother must
have suspected he had, and Judy
Garland does a job of entertainment
that must bring salaams from her
peers. Betty Jaynes, Douglas Mc-
Phail, June Preisser and about two
hundred other youngsters contrive
to make “Babes in Arms” one of the
best pieces of musical entertainment
to come out of Hollywood in months.
Besides acting, Mickey dances,
sings, gives impersonations and
plays the piano. Judy dances, too.
Betty and Douglas get their big
gest opportunity and make the very
best of it. June Preisser is a danc
ing sensation.
The word tariff is derived from
the Arabic “ta’rifa,” which means
a notification or inventory.

BORN of the necessity for articulate leadership

soul-filling ideals that burn in the hearts of Atlanta
and Georgia people; striding through militant,
clear-eyed youth into maturity
as an ever-dependable its own good
neighbors—The Atlanta Constitution, from editor

southern as a platter of hot biscuit. As Georgia
and the South have moved forward, so has The Con

tinues its swift forward pace—this newspaper will
move along with it, as close to the head of the pro

enthusiasm and an unswerving and unswervable
devotion to its city and its state and its people can
ever place it. Such natures don’t change overnight,
especially when they have been growing stronger
for as long as 71 years.

city churches.

THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
Political Campaign Begins With
Announcements Made During Week
FOLLOWING ACTION OF EXEC
UTIVE COMMITTEE IN FIXING
PRIMARY DATE CANDIDATES
THROW HATS IN RING
The political marathon is on in
Butts county and the candidates
have until April 5 to wage a cam
paign that gives promise of holding
plenty of excitement.
Following action of the Butts
County Democratic Executive Com
mittee in fixing April 5 for the pri
mary date, politics, long simmering,
began to pop wide open. The result
has been this week witnessed the
first formal announcements of the
current campaign.
At the time this is written three
hats have been thrown in the ring
for the office of sheriff, Messrs.
John Dozier (Bud) Pope, W. W.
Wilson and G. T. Thurston, incum
bent, while Morris Redman is a can
didate for treasurer and J. Edward
Carmichael announces for re-elec
tion as tax receiver, and J. M. D.
Bond for coroner.
Several candidates are mentioned
for the offices to be filled —includ-
ing ordinary, clerk of court, tax col
lector, treasurer, sheriff, tax recei
ver, school superintendent, member
of county commissioners, surveyor
and coroner.
Now that the ice has been broken
entries will be made in fast order,
according to those informed on the
political situation. According to
current political rumors there will
be opposition to all officers and in
some instances, especially sheriff,
there will be a large number of
candidates.
Incumbent officers, with the ex
ception of James C. Newton, treas
urer, will stand for re-election, ac
cording to current information. At
the moment there is said to be some
doubt whether or not B. H. Hodges,
oldest member of the county com
mission in point of service, will be
a candidate for another term.
Informed political observers look
for a full field, a hotly contested
campaign and not a dull day be
tween now and the time ballots are
counted.
