Change In Ownership
After thirty years of
service in the community,
The Butts County Progress
begins the new year under
new management. The paper
has been bought by its
present editor, J. D. Jones,
from Prof. Alfred Akerman,
of Athens.
The paper has successively
been known as the Jackson
News, Jackson Times, Jack
son Vidette, the Jacksonian,
the Record and the Butts
County Progress. It was
established as the Jackson
News in 1882 by the late A. B.
Harp, who came to Jackson
from Conyers. Butts
County Progress, Jan. 3,
1913. The Indian Springs
Echo, now the Jackson
Argus, is the oldest paper in
the County, dating back to
1873.
Some Reasons Why Some
Men Marry Some Women
Post cards were sent out to
all the married men in a
certain town of western New
York carrying the question,
“Why did you marry?” The
following are some of the
answers returned:
“That’s what I’ve been
trying for eleven years to
find out.”
“Married to get even with
her mother —but never
have.”
"Was freckle-faced and
thought it was my last
chance. I’ve found out,
however, that freckles aren’t
as bad as henspeck.”
“Because I was too lazy for
work.”
“Because Sarah told me
that five other young fellows
had proposed to her. Lucky
dogs!”
“Please don’t stir me up.”
“Because I thought she
was one among a thousand;
now I sometimes think she is
a thousand among one.”
“I thought it would be
cheaper than a breach of
promise suit.”
“That’s the fool question
all my friends and neighbors
ask.”
“Don’t mention it.”
“Because it is just my
luck.”

Who Started This?
A farmer was walking
through the woods one day,
when suddenly and without
any provocation, an angry
bull began chasing him. The
farmer dashed for a big tree
standing nearby, and around
and around he ran, closely
pursued by the infuriated
bull. The fleet-footed farmer
kept gaining on the bull, until
finally he overtook him from
the rear. He grabbed the bull
by the tail and began whaling
him with a big stick. It was
now time for the bull to get
frightened. He dashed off
through the woods bellowing
at every jump and making
desperate efforts to get away
from the farmer, who was
still swinging to his tail and
frailing him with the stick.
‘Yes, bellow,’ shouted the
farmer, ‘gosh ding ye, who
started this thing, anyway?”’

Nitrate of Soda Caught
Fire and Burned Wagon
Last Friday afternoon as
Mr. W. D. Martin was on his
way home from Jackson with
a load of nitrate of soda, the
straw on which the soda was
placed caught fire from a
spark from the driver’s pipe,
and the nitrate was soon
ablaze and the wagon in turn
caught fire and burned up
before the fertilizer could be
removed. The mules became
frightened and ran away, one
being seriously injured.

A Den
What is a den?
A den is when
The broken chairs,
The rug with tears,
The pictures cracked,
The tables hacked,
A tickless clock,
Desk that won’t lock,
Are gathered in a heap by ma
And put in a room for pa.
