News from
your
Pharmacist
“It hurts like a toothache”
is an old saying to describe
pain—and no other few
well-chosen words could be
so descriptive for a toothache
is truly painful. In fact,
toothache is one of the most
common pains—one that is
ordinarily suffered by every
person sometime during
their lifetime.
A toothache is usually
caused by dental decay. The
decay penetrates the outer
shell of the tooth which is the
hard enamel coat. When the
decay reaches the next layer,
the dentin, mild pain usually
results. If the decay is
allowed to progress un
checked it soon eats through
the dentin into the pulp and
severe pain then usually
results. Only regular brush
ing and frequent checkups at
your dentist can keep your
teeth healthy.
It is our aim to aid you and
the dentist by stocking the
very best in cleaners,
brushes and other dental
hygienic aids. Our complete
selection includes all types of
brushes, manual and elec
tric, plus accessories. We
take great pleasure in filling
your dental and medical
supply needs.

THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARCUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
Voices Out of the Past
That there is quite a sum of
money spent yearly for soft
drinks in Butts County is
proved by a simple problem
in arithmetic. Jackson’s two
bottling plants, The Jewel
Bottling Works and the
Empire Bottling Works, turn
out an average 27,600 bottles
of soothing sodas and
exhilarating coca colas
monthly.
Mr. D. F. Thaxton,
manager of The Jewel Bottl
ing Works, states that he
turns out an average of 600
cases of soft drinks and the
manager of the Empire
Bottling Works, Mr. L.
Norsworthy, says he turns
out an average of 550 cases of
beverage a month.
At the retail price of five
cents a bottle, the yearly
income from the sale of soft
drinks, that is, the bottled
product, amounts to approxi
mately $17,000.00.
The Jewel Bottling Works
has the exclusive manufac
ture and sale of coca cola in
this section, the territory
embracing Laguinn to Cha
pel and Locust Grove to
Flovilla. A wagon is kept on
the road all the time. Besides
coca cola, the usual brands of
soft drinks are turned out
from this plant.
The Empire Bottling
Works has the exclusive
manufacture and sale in this
territory of Budwine and
Wiseola, two very popular
drinks. In addition, a very
popular brand of ginger ale is
produced. The output is
distributed by wagon and
quite a good deal is
shipped —Butts County Pro
gress, February 19, 1909.
A preacher came at a
newspaper man in this way:
You editors do not tell the
truth. If you did you could not
live: your newspaper would
be a failure. The editor
replied: You are right, and
the minister who will at all
times and under all circum
stances tell the whole truth
about his members alive, or
dead, will not occupy his
pulpit more than one Sunday,
and then, he will find it
necessary to leave town in a
hurry. The press and the
pulpit go hand in hand with
whitewash brushes and plea
sant words, magnifying little
virtues into big ones. The
pulpit, the pen and the
gravestone are the great
’saint-making triumvirate
and the great minister went
away looking very thoughtful
while the editor turned to his
work, and told of the
unsurpassing beauty of the
bride, while in fact she was
as homely as a mud
fence.—Butts County Pro
gress, June 25, 1909.
The monument to the
Confederate soldiers of Butts
County was unveiled here
Wednesday by the Larkin D.
Watson Chapter of the United
Daughters of the Confeder
acy.
The monument, erected a
few days ago, stands on the
southeast corner of the public
square. It has been much

admired by those who have
seen it. The figure is that of
the private soldier of the civil
war leaning on his musket.
The monument was erect
ed at a cost of $1,940 and was
purchased from the McNeal
Marble Company, of Mariet
ta.
The monument was un
veiled by Anna Dawn Watson
and was presented to the
veterans by Mrs. Z. T.
Buttrill, president of the local
U. D. C. chapter, and
accepted on behalf of the
veterans by Dr. R. Van
Deventer. It was accepted on
the part of the town and
county by Jackson Mayor H.
M. Fletcher in a well chosen
speech.—Butts County Pro
gress, April 28, 1911.
Mrs. Cora Harris, author of
“The Circuit Rider’s Wife,”
executrix of her husband’s
estate, made the following
unique inventory. Dr. Lundy
Harris, her husband, was
“The Circuit Rider,” Wil
liam, in her great story
published in the Saturday
Evening Post.
"It is not with the intention
of showing an egregious
sentimentality that I say I
find it impossible to give you
a complete and satisfactory
inventory of the estate of
Lundy H. Harris. The part
that I give is so'small that it
is insignificant And mislead
ing. At the time bf his death
he had $2.35 in
in the Union Bank and Trust
Company, of Nashville,
about 400 books and the coffin
in which he was buried,
which cost about $85.00. The
major part of his estate was
invested in heavenly securi
ties. the value of which have
been variously declared in
this world and highly taxed
by the various churches, but
never realized.
"He invested every year no
less (usually more) than
$1,200 in charity, so secretly,
so inoffensively and so
honestly that he was never
suspected of being a philan
thropist and never praised
for his generosity. He
pensioned an old outcast
woman in Barron County, an
old soldier in Nashville. He
sent two little Negro boys to
school, and supported for
three years a family of five
who could not support
themselves.
"He contributed anony
mously to every charity in
Nashville; every old maid
interested in a benevolent
object received his aid;
every child he knew exacted
and received penny tolls
from his tenderness. He
supported the heart of every
man who confided in him
with encouragement and
affection.
"You can see how large his
estate was and how difficult
it would be to compute its
value so as to furnish you the
inventory you require for
record on your books. I have
given you faithfully such
items as have come to my
knowledge. Cora Harris.”—

On Golf
During the recent Cancer
Fund Golf Tournament an
other unusual incident hap
pened at Deer Trail Golf
Club. Unusual, yes, but not
very amusing, especially to
the golfer involved whose
name I shall withhold.
It seems he was actually
starting his swing on number
eight tee when just as he
began a snake approached
the immediate vicinity. The
golfer continued his swing
and at the same time was
trying to make a clean
getaway, which he did, as
one of his cohorts eliminated
the serpent. When the golfer
was asked what kind of a
snake it was, he said, “They
all look alike to me and I
don’t cotton to any of ’em.”
One week later just as I
had finished the first story,
two regular golfers J. L.
Kempf and B. Crumbley of
Henry County, on Wednes
day, June Bth, really came
upon something of an
unusual nature.
As they were crossing the
lake at number seven, to
their amazement, they saw a
squirrel slowly moving a
cross with them and the
squirrel had caught a snake
and was taking its prey to a
safe rendezvous for devour
ment.
So, as we say, anything can
and does happen on a golf
course. Deer Trail is the
name and just about any
time of the day or night you
might see a deer or two
moseying along the course
somewhere, but—that’s not
unusual.
