THURSDAY CLOSING.
As will be seen by a card of appre
ciation signed by a large number of
the employes of Thomson’s business
bouses, they are grateful to their
employers for making it possible for
them to obtain a little recreation by
dosing Thursday afternoons. As
is well known many of them would
not be in position to take a vacation
or trip to some reBort during the sum
mer, and these weekly holidays will
mean much to them. It is a trying
ordeal to work year in and year out
At the same steady grind without
some recreation, and The Progress
feels that the plan adopted by the
business concerns is not only liberal
but humane, and trusts that it will
become even more general than at
present among the business men.
The Progress feels that it is up to
the citizens of Thomson to uphold
the business men in this undertaking.
They can arrange their shopping
periods to conform to the rule very
easily, and without doubt no one will
suffer by the arrangement. Let’s all
help to make the holiday agreeable
and pleasant for the workers of
Thomson.
(From The Farm Journal).
A word of warning, Garden Man,
With pail or hose or sprinkling can;
Pour liberal drink on garden land
Or else I pray you stay your hand.
For if you only wet the top
The thirsty roots get scarce a drop
And struggling upward afer water,
By hoe or . drought are doomed to
slaughter. J. C. K.
TO BOB OR NOT TO BOB.
One of the most perplexing ques
tions of the day among the ladies of
■Thomson, is whether to bob or not
to bob their hair. It appears from
present indications that sooner or
later most of them are going to fall
for the lure of the bobbed brigade.
And it is not confined to the younger
*et, either. Grand-mother has as
much right to bob as her grand
daughter, and if it suits her fancy
she is going to bob.
Men folks used to be awful cranky
About women asserting rights and
privileges, but now they meekly abide
by whatever they do and are not sur
prised at anything she does. Some
of the ladies improve their appear
ance by bobbing the hair, but when
a woman has n pretty head of hair
she makes a serious mistake in part
ing with it, in the opinion of mere
man.

always welcome.
East Thomson, suppose Wrights
boro answered your questions pub
lished in one of the late issues of The
Progress. Why don’t people go to
church? I should think in some
cases the answer would be, because
as a result of sickness or other things
along that line, we can’t go. But in
most cases we find this answer: Be
cause we don’t want to go. Now
why do people go to church? Well,
in some cases, we find people who go
to church for Christianity, some for
past time, etc. But in some cases
we hope in most, they go because
they want to go, and because they
like to go to worship God there.
Let us know Eullwater, if we have
the same opinion you have or not and
suppose you answer a few for us.
Why do people dance ? Why don’t
people dance? And also, what is a
good definition for dancing? These
may be hard for some to answer, but
the inexperienced correspondent of
Wrightsboro who hates it as bad as
Billy Sunday can give you an answer
which those who dance wouldn’t ap
prove of.

MIDDLE WEST TO RAISE
COTTON.
Mr. A. W. Roper returned Satur
day from Candleville, Ind., where he
was engaged in expert mechanical
work in a large cotton mill for the
past month.
Mr. Roper was very mush impress
ed with the building, a five story
structure built of solid stone, the
woodwork of which is black walnut
and popular. Although built 75 years
ago, the woodwork appears as good
as the day it was built^ despite the
fact that it never has been painted.
Another thing that impressed Mr.
Roper is the fact that the farmers
of Indiana are beginning to raise
cotton. The weather was still cool
out there, but it has been demonstrat
ed that cotton will come to maturity
in that state, and they are not both
ered with boll weevil.
