Jackson Argus – Butts County October 1, 1897
Is Advanced to a Third Class Office

Another indication of Jackson’s substantial progress is found in the fact that 
the postoffice here has been advanced to third class, making a presidential 
office of it.

The postmaster here was notified last week that this change in he office here 
had been made, and that his salary had been fixed at $1,100 per annum.

Following is the copy of the order from the postoffice department at Washington:

Washington, D.C., Sept.20,1897
Postmaster, Jackson, Ga.    Sir:
Your office having met the requirements of the act approved mrch 3,1885, the 
same is hereby advanced to third class, effective October 1, 1897, and your 
salary is fixed at $1,100 from the same date.
Very respectfully, 
E. C. Fowler – Acting 1st Assist. P.M. Gen’l

Jackson postoffice now ranks along with other city postoffices, and the 
postmaster will not be affected by a boycott of his office, should one occur.  
It is interesting as showing the advance in business at Jackson.

Jackson grows on forever!
