Col. G.C. Jones, we are sorry to say,
ia in bad health again, but we hope his
■ailment is only temporary. He is one
of our good citizens and we want to see
bim in good health once more.
We are glad to say that A. S. Odom
irf now able to sit up and he says that
be hopes to be able to be at his place
of business Saturday. Alden has had
a hard time and his friends will be
glad to welcome him on the streets
again.
Clerk of the Council Collins is now
bolding forth at offices of Williams &
Williams, in the Toombs County Bank
building for the purpose of collecting
the city taxes. Call on him before
June Ist and save the extra expense of
forcing the payment.
Dr. McLeod was on the sick list last
Sunday and for a day or so but we are
glad to say that he is getting all right
again. The Doctor is an important
personage at all times but more so
right now and when he is not able
to go it is greatly regretted.
Dr. E. P. Bomar has purchased the
red Chalmers-Detroit machine from
E. M. Wimberly and he says he is go
ing to put a few machines in the gen
eral livery business. He proposed to
build for himself a garage and he will
have an expert to look after the ma
chines.
Our people are not talking much
now about the branch of the U. B. 1.,
hut they are doing a lot of planning. It
is almost certain that a fine offer will
be made for the location of the school
near the Garbutt A Donovan mill and
we don’t know of a better place. This
would mean something besides the
sxchool too.
One of the neatest mercantile es
tablishments in the city is that of Rog
ers Brothers It is managed by Mark
Rogers and Mark is a salesman. He
knows how to keep stock, too, and his
goods are always up-to-date. This firm
i* getting a nice share of business and
the house is considered right up among
the best of our buisness houses.
Col. Wimberly E. Brown went up to
Statesboro last week to argue a case
before Judge Rawlings. Wnile there
he said he heard Col. Renfroe make a
speech in a murder case and that he
acquitted himself with honor. Col.
Renfroe was in Lyons for years and we
claim him as a citizen. We are glad
that he is making such a record as an
attorney in Bullock.
W.C.Oliver & Son and Empire Store
have bought a number of the Standard
CJraphophones and they are going to
give one away practially to each cus
tomerthat spends $25 in the two stores.
Tickets are to be given with each pur
chase and when the customer gets the
amount needed the graphophone is
theirs upon the payment of the small
mm of $3.98. The instrument usually
sells for $25 and it is something to be
proudof.
R. W. Lilliott A Bro.. have joined
the progressive band of advertisers in
the Progress and they are making it
plain that they sell the celebrated
Peters Shoe for men and women. This
shoe is undoubtedly one of the best
and the most stylish shoes on the mark
et and they are made for wear as well as
style. We have had several pair of
them and every pair gave perfect sat
isfaction. The Lilliot Brothers handle
a general line of merchandise and they
are asking a share of the public trade.
In our write up of the exercises at the
Opera House last Wednesday we failed
to mention two of the best numbers on
the program. One of them was a
reading by charming little Miss Ken
ward of “Stonewall Jackson’s Way,”
and the other was the beautiful songs
rendered by the quartette made up of
Prof. Monts, Messrs. Sweat, Mosely
and Mosely. Both these numbers were
-'rcellentand we are sorry that we
tailed to make mention of them in our
Article.
Who the Advertisers Are.
lor the last few weeks at different
times we have inserted in these col
umns small items advising the people
to trade with the advertisers and we
think it time that we were telling who
the advertisers are. In the first place
a merchant or business man don’t have
to use the columns ol the Progress or
any other paper constantly, or at all if
he don’t want to. and yet be an adver
tiser. In fact we dont know of a busi
ness in Lyons that dont advertise
at one time or in one way or another
and the little squibs that have appear
ed cannot be directed toward them.
We have a number of merchants in
the city who advertise all the time and
we have some who don't advertise
only once in a while, some who don’t
use the paper at all yet they advertise
by using signs and circulars All of
them are in the same class and it is
the secret of the successor the city’s
trade. People come here to trade with
all our merchants because they are in
vited, and because of this great trade
the merchants are enabled to keep
large lines of goods always fresh and
new Walk up one side of the business
street and down the other side, and
you will find in every store shelves full
of fine goods, none of them shelf
worn or out of date. Our merchantile
establishments all class far above the
average country store and the reason
is all of them are advertisers. A glance
at the columns of the Progress will
show that we are liberally patronized,
and every stranger that picks up a
copy of the paper remarks that we have
live merchants. All of them are not
represented in the columns at one
time, but they advestise at one time or
another.
With the number of hustling busi
ness men that we have in Lyons, the
city can’t help but cotne. It is bound
to grow. This growth may be appar
ently slow but it is sure. The business
of the city is getting better and
better every year and every mer
chant is on a solid footing. We love
to write this way about Lyons and the
Lyons business men. They are hust
lers and they believe in telling the
farmers and strangers about their
goods. In short they send out invita
tions for trade and they are getting
this trade.
Card of Thanks
We, the committed for arranging
the program for the Memorial service
of Wednesday, April 26th, cordially
thank those who so cheerfully assisted
in the exercises.
We heartily endorse all the pro
gram and return especial thanks to
Prof. Monts, Messrs. Sweat, Moseley
and Moseley, and to Mrs. 0. A. Gar
butt for the beautiful songs Also to
Miss Emmie Kennard, who so kindly
supplied Miss Martin’s place.
We appreciate also the masterful ef
fort of our orator, Col. E. J. Giles, and
of Col. Williams, who so ably introduc
ed him. We commend the ease and
grace with which our President, Mrs.
Everlyn, so appropriately presented
the Crosses of Honor to the old sol
diers.
We thank the young men who so
kindly acted as ushers on this occasion
and to Mr. Moore we are deeply in
debted for many courtesies, especial
ly for obtaining for the Chapter the
use of the two battle Hags.
Mr- W.T China,
Miss Jessie Kinman,
Mrs. C. F. Shewmake.
The Progress don’t want to show any
partiality and we will not knowingly
do it. Every business man and every
citizen is our friend and we want to
treat them right. Os course we know
that we have some people that don’t
like the editor, that they would not do
| him a favor if they could, but we dont
j think hard of them and we want to >
i treat them just as fair as we would I
treat our best friends. We are pub-'
j
j lishing a newspaper for the masses and ,
-we try to interest the masses. Re
member, however, that all of us are '
liable to make an error some times but
we ask those who notice such errors to
u<e judgement and forgive. We are
not asking personal favoritism but we
want to defend the Progress.
Our High School closes in just a few
more week and we believe it the time
when the Board should meet and re
elect the faculty. In Prof. Monts we
have a man that has made good. He
manages the school right, has advanc
ed the children as fast as they could
have been advanced and we believe
the people want him again. All the
teachers have given satisfaction also,
and we are of the opinion that the
Board will not make a mistake if they
were to try to keep the entire faculty
just as it is for another term. We are
speaking, however, as one and not as i
the people. i

Remove the Strain.
I advertise what I do. I do what I advertise.
Do you realize the serious consequence of
continuous eye strain in both young and old?
Prom constant tugging and straining of vari
ous nerves and muscles, which causes more
headache than any other one thing. If your
eyes trouble you in any way. come to see me.
(My system is not experiment.) My knowledge
of the eye enables me to determine exactly
the kind of glasses you should wear. (Beware
of those whom you do not know to be compe
tent. Beware of the man who is here to-dav
and some where else to-morrow.) I am always
in my place of business, and take care of all
cases where others fail. (Special engage
ments can be made.)
