McDonough, Ga., June 27,1919.
Now tor the Fourth of July.
If good roads cost money, bad
ones can but cost much more.
A cheap scrap —licking a post
age stamp for two cents —after
July 1.
How can some of the boys
“beer it” after July 1 with only
water as a consolation?
Henry county farmers have
about conquered General Green
and forced peace terms.
“Pure-bred hogs to club mem
bers” reads a headline. Evidently
going to make cops out of them.
John Barleycorn will soon be
consigned to the tomb set apart
for all wreckers of home and
happiness.
The Georgia legislature con
vened Wednesday with perhaps
never such vital problems before
it to solve.
How any sane man can favor
the repeal of war time prohi
bition we are at a loss to know.
Let well enough alone.
During the home-coming week
at Baldwin, Kansas, the jailer
hung one of the welcoming ban
ners which read, “Welcome
Home,” on the county jail.
The pay envelope that once
went over the gilded bar will soon
go to the home w here it belongs
and is needed and where once
was sorrow and want will be found
happiness and plenty.
The bicyclist who rides on the
sidewalks of the city should be
made to get into the streets.
Can’t we get some help in this
matter? —Greensboro Herald. Yes
wreck the machine and jail the
rider.
Why not enforce the speed law
in Jackson or repeal it? The law
is violated every day by autoists
who take delight in seeing how
fast they can “make her go.”—
Progress-Argus. About sizes up
the situation everywhere.
Beginning July 1 Jackson has
been raised to a second-class post
office, with the postmaster’s
salary $2,000, by virtue of last
year’s receipts going over SB,OOO.
The working force consists of
four persons, not to be on duty
exceeding eight hours.
That Philadelphia minister (?)
who advocated from his pulpit the
repeal of the wine and beer act
should be shorn of his mask and
let the world see him as he
is—a Judas in disguise. He is
supposed to serve God. but dis
guised in the holy ermine of the
lowly Nazarene he follows the dic
tates of Mammon for a few shek
els of silver. Such a thing (he’s
not a man) is obnoxious to the
nostrils of all God fearing, law
abiding people.
Dawson’s Guests.
The Confederate veterans of
Georgia will be the guests of
Dawson during the next two days,
and our people deem it an espe
cial honor and privilege to enter
tain the survivors of the valorous
army who wore the grey.
No longer do the long columns
of veterans who responded to the
call of the leaders of the south
land in its peril, who fought with
Lee at Chancellorsville, Johnston
at Shiloh, Beauregard at Manassas,
Bragg at Chickamauga, Hood at
Atlanta, Gordon at Spottsylvania,
Longstreet in northern Virginia,
and Evans at Appomattox march
with the swinging stride of sol
diers at these annual reunions.
Time has left but a remnant of
those who survived the instru
ment of death on battlefields and
in camp. But the spirit of these
brave men lives, and will live so
long as the people of the South hold
fast to the sacred principles for
which the army of ’6l-65 poured
out their blood. Shall the stars
and bars of the flag for which
they fought and for which so
many died become a scoffing in
the earth and a symbol of noth
ing? Not while manhood holds
sacred the things for which others
have so unselfishly lost their lives.
It is no disparagement to the sol
diers and sailors of other wars,
living and dead, to say that the
men who fought for the South
made a record unsurpassed for
valor and heroism. The records
of the bravery of the Confederate
soldier will never become dimmed
with time. The spirit of that ar
my, its devotion to duty, its undy
ing loyalty, the sacrifices of those
who gave the best of the South’s
manhood to the cause of the Con
federacy will never die.
Confederate veterans, welcome
to Dawson, to our hearts and to
our homes. You have kept sac
red the faith and unsullied the
traditions for half a century. —

Cut This Out and 'l ake It Home

A man often forgets the exact
name of the article he wishes to
purchase, anti as a last resort takes
something else instead. That is
always disappointing and unsatis
factory. The safe way is to cut
this out and take it with you so as
to make sure of getting Chamber

Typographical Errors.
The Walton Tribune says a
North Dakota paper, in writing up
a social entertainment, referred
to the hostess’ “big feet” and had
a terrible time in explaining that
he meant to say fete.
In theSe days of machine set
type the editor who worries over
“bulls” in his paper is on a short
road to the bughouse. If he man
ages to get into print something
similar to that which he intended
he must console himself with the
happy thought that he is neither
a book publisher, a sign painter
nor dealer in monuments.
On one occassion Editor Henry
W. Grady penned a beautiful me
morial to Confederate soldiers.
He referred to them as old “bat
tlescarred” veterans. He was
amazed when he read his editorial
in The Constitution calling them
“battle-scared” veterans. M r
Grady was furious and wrote a
lengthy editorial in explanation.
He was horrified the next morn
ing when the term appeared in
print “bottle-scaVed” veterans.
Then he called upoil the soldiers
to come around to hm office, and
he would apologizJ to them in
person.—Winder N#ws.

Shep Saves Chileren
From Dog’s Attack.
Cordele, Ga., June 16. —Shep,
a faithful yard dog on the planta
tion of J. R. Williams, a promi
nent farmer of this county, is this
morning wearing a distinguished
service medal with which he hal
been decorated for unusual pres!
ence of mind and heroic action ill
battle with a mad dog headed tol
ward three little children ovel
whom Shep was keeping guard al
they played.
Shep’s first act, after scentinJ
the presence somewhere in thl
neighborhood of the mad animal
was to go to the house and bl
whining in an unusual manner!
make an effort to acquaint the paj
rents of the impending danger tl
the children. Failing in this hi
returned to his charge and as thl
mad dog approached engaged hinl
in a bloody battle which lasted fol
several minutes, during which thl
children ran to safety. I
Shep came out victorious in thl
death grapple but was severell
wounded. He is undergoing treat!

Lot of Piffle. I
The Confederate veterans r*
turned home in 1865 ragged, afl
most naked, half starved, propeil
ty destroyed, homes burned —e\l
erything lost save honor. Thl
boys from the world war caml
home fat and sleek and wefl
clothed. Never in the history ol
the world has any nation done al
much for its fighting men as thl
United States did for its sailorJ
soldiers and marines in the wal
against Germany. In spite of afl
this certain politicians wint tJ
make still further raids on thl
public treasury to give the soli
diers twelve months’ pay, set therfl
up in business or something cl
the kind. The soldiers themselvel
do not want this. All they ask il
to be brought home, turned loos«
be let alone and given a fail
chance to make an honest livin M
The Progress-Argus yields not™
itig to any man or set of men ifl
its devotion to the soldiers, livinfl
and dead, who left home anfl
country to fight our common bafl
ties. But the people at home dil
not escape lightly. They suffeiß
ed, too. I
We believe we voice the sent*
ments of the majority of our fightfl
ing men when we say stop all
this piffle and sob stuff about the
government taking care of the
soldiers the rest of their lives, and
give them a chance and a job.
That is all they ask and all they
want. —Jackson Progress.
Husband —My dear, do you
know it is the fashion now to have
a big clock at the head of the
stairs ?
Wife —Yes, I know ; but ours is
not going there.
“Why not ?”
“A clock at that point is not
necessary. When you come home
late I shall always be at the head
of the stairs to tell you what time
it is.”
