The Progress is again the Of
ftcial Organ of Grady County in
the fullest sense of the world.
For more than two years the
Progress has been the Official Or
gan of the Sheriff, Ordinary and
Clerk of the Court and for the
past year the offi'ial organ of the
County Commissioners and on

official organ of the Hoard of
County Commissioners for the

That the Progress is worthy of
the honor bestowed upon it, no
one cfcii question.
It has been our ambition to
make the Progress the best
weekly paper ever published in
south Georgia. We do not claim
to have accomplished this, but
that our efforts have been appre
ciated is shown by the substan
tial growth of our subscription
list.
But don’t understand us to say
that the Progress is good enough.
Not a bit. Nothing is good
enough that mav be improved,
and nothing is so good that it can
not be made better somewhere
and somehow.
If you are not a subscriber you
should become one at once.

And hasn’t she told you of the
way they made a compound of.

apply every day for keeping the
skin soft, clear und satin-smooth?
Some of those old-fashioned
beautifers were very effective,
even if rather crude. Buttermilk
certainly has a wonderful soften

We are fortunate in hiving a
delightful toilet cerate, made
from pure, fresh dairy buttermilk
combined with other ingredients
that nourish the skin, and it is
