D. D. Estes
Was Buried
Here Sunday
David Duncan Estes, 87, of
326 South Oak Street,
Jackson, died Friday even
ing, July 23rd, in Sylvan
Grove Hospital after a
lengthy period of declining
health.
Born September 4, 1888 at

the last survivor of nine
children born of that mar
riage.
Moving to Butts County in

the Jackson waterworks,

the Southern Railway Sys
tem.
Returning to the County in
1919, he lived near Jenkins
burg for 44 years where he
was a successful farmer and
cattle raiser. His home on
Highway 42 was widely
known for his creative
concrete work and beautiful
flowers.
Forced by declining health
to retire from the farm, he
and Mrs. Estes built their
home in Jackson, where a
large circle of friends
constantly buoyed his spirits
with their visits and favors.
A member of the Jackson
United Methodist Church,
funeral services were con
ducted by Rev. Phil DeMore
Sunday afternoon at four
o’clock from the chapel of
Sherrell Funeral Home.
Interment was in the Jackson
City Cemetery.
Pallbearers were Marion
Cook, Billy Lockhart, Dickie
Moore, Harry Ridgeway,
Charles Rooks and Pliny
Weaver.
Survivors include his wife,
Mrs. Bertie Mae Perdue
Estes and a son, David E.
Estes, of Emory University,
Atlanta; several nieces and
nephews.

Hours Shorter
At Flovilla
Metal Station
The aluminum recycling
collection hours in Flovilla
will be shortened, starting
with the first August pickup.
The Reynolds aluminum
recycling truck will be across
from City Hall from 1 to 2:30
p.m. every other Wednesday,
August 4 and 18.
Joe Arnett, Reynolds’
district manager, said that
collectors are usually in line
when the truck arrives. “By
reducing the truck waiting
period a little, we will still be
able to get everyone’s
aluminum and yet have more
time at the end of the day to
process metal at our re
cycling center in southeast
Atlanta. Ultimately, we’ll be
able to recycle aluminum
faster and at a cost which
will make recycling even
more feasible.”
The company pays 15 cents
a pound for all-aluminum
cans and other clean house
hold aluminum, such as pie
plates, aluminum foil, frozen
food and dinner trays, and
dip, pudding, and meat
containers. Certain other
items, including aluminum
siding, gutters, aluminum
storm door and window
frames, and lawn furniture
tubing are also worth 15 cents
a pound if free of all foreign

TIPS TO HELP YOU MAKE
A BETTER BUY
While you’ll probably never
have a carpet like the legend
ary emerald encrusted one
from ancient Iraq that has
been estimated to have been
worth around $200,000,000
before it was destroyed in the
7th century, when you really
get down to it, buying a rug
can be a pretty big invest
ment. You should be as con
cerned with what goes into
it as you are with what goes
on it.
That’s why so many of the
world’s best rugmakers only
use wool. They believe it
gives their design the greatest
possible elegance and color
clarity. The pure wool fiber
soaks up dyes completely,
permanently and beautifully
to bring a colorful lift to
any room.
What’s more, wool’s resil
iency means that wool rugs
can take all the good times
material (such as steel bolts,
rivets, or cloth webbing), cut
to lengths not exceeding
three feet and not mixed with
aluminum cans.
for generations. Some are
even cherished for centuries.
And, the nap of a wool carpet
can snap back, even under
heavy furniture. Wool carpets
clean easily and return to their
original fresh appearance.
When investing in a wool
rug look for The Woolmark
symbol - it’s your assurance
of a quality tested rug made
of pure wool pile. Now, as
in the past, wool is in a class
by itself.

EDITOR'S NOTE
This Sample Ballot is being
reproduced to assist Butts County
voters in the preparation of their ballots
in the General Primary of August 10th,
1976.
The Official Ballot will have the
same appearance, and format, as this
Sample. In the right hand side of the
ballot, voters will choose members of
the Democratic County Executive
Committee by Districts. That is, voters
in Iron Springs will vote only for Ruth
B. Greer and Howard J. Greer as shown
on the Sample Ballot. Voters in Jackson
District will vote for their slate of
executive committee members, as will
those in Coody, Dublin, etc.
Voters in Worthville District will
not vote for the 78th. Representative
post shown in the lower left hand corner
of the ballot. Instead, they will vote for
the Representative from the 73rd seat
District. Candidates for the 73rd seat
are Lewis Hurd, John McGarity and
Ray AA. Tucker.
Those wishing to vote a Republican
ticket may do so, but will not be eligible
to vote for the Democratic nominees in
the County races. The only candidate
appearing on all the Republican ballots
locally will be Newt Gingrich, who will
oppose the Democratic nominee for the
Sixth District Congressional seat in the
November general election. The name
of Ed F. Wallace will appear on
Republican Ballots printed for Worth
ville District, as he will oppose the
winner of the Hurd—AAcGarity—Tuck
er race for the 73rd Representative
Seat.
Voters may take a Sample Ballot
into the polling place to assist in
marking their ballot, but the ballot
cannot be voted as only the Official
Ballot may be voted and counted.
