City Will Have Many Enrolled
Car Service In Butts Clubs
Motor Car Hu
Arrived
Service Will Begin In
The Next Few Days
Jackson will soon have street
cars.
Arrangements are now being
made to put a car on the track
on Third Street. A force of
hands has been engaged this
week in clearing off the track
and getting things in shape for
the operation of the cai line.
The gasoline motor car has
arrived and will be operated
the first time the last of this
week or the first of next week.
For the present the car will
be run between the depot and
the business part of the city
and only passengers will be
hauled. Later freight will be
taken on, it is said.
In the course of a few
months or as soon as possible
the line is to be extended to
Indian Springs and other points
in this section, according to the
information given out here.
Street cars have been talked
of for Jackson for several
years and the track has been
laid on Third street for some
time. The project was started
by the late Capt. W. F. Smith,
who interested L. W. Robert, a
prominent civil engineer and
railroad builder at Atlanta,
with him. The company is
incorporated under the name
of the Middle Georgia Interur
ban Railway Company. The
company owns valuable rights
of way in this section and has a
franchise to operate a car
system in the city of Jackson.
Mr. T. G. Hunnicutt, of
Tallulah, has leased the road, it
is understood. He is said to
operate a similar motor ca:
service at Clarkesville and the
proposition is said to be an
attractive one financially.
The fact that Jackson is to
have this car service is of much
interest to the citizens here. -

Hog Pens
The ordinance passed by
the town council forbidding
the keeping of hogs in town is
not observed by many of the
citizens of Jackson.
The ordiance is somewhat

too mandatory and broad.
We think a strict ordinance
as to the manner of keeping
the pens would be far better.
No doubt the marshals
would patrol the town and
keep an eye open for
violations of an ordinance
against filthy hog pens if
America: Past , Present
And Future. Here's
To Our Next 200!
Our Bicentennial. It means more
to Americans than just a celebration.
It serves as a stepping stone to the fu
ture. It s a door leading to bigger and
better achievements.
It’s an opportunity for all of us
to look back at our great historical
struggle for Democracy. To look at the
present and see how much has been
accomplished in only 200 years.
And, perhaps most important, it
enables us to see that the future of
America now lies in OUR hands. And
all of us, as Americans, have the knowl
edge and foresight to make the next
200 years even better than the first.
Happy birthday America!

they were required to do so.
They really need a diver
sion of this sort to break the
monotony of hanging around
the Court house square. One
hog in a half acre patch oi
even an eighth of an acre,
would not create any filth
and it is foolish to say one
shall not keep a hog in town
at all, to say nothing of
keeping a hog in a pen, or
enclosure of this character.
To say the least of it, the
council should modify the
ordinance, or cause all to
observe it. —jhe Jacksonian
