The farmers are flooded with
advice, when what they really
need is more money and a better
credit system.
The unkissed editor of The
Monroe Advertiser should run
for office and get initiated into
the osculatory art.
The wind and rain together
have kept the poetic sap from

If it does not close in the mean

Latest figures show the popu

—at least, that many people are
giving the farmers advice daily
how to diversify, save the coun
try, etc.
The fact that Forsyth sold in
me week SIO,OOO worth of auto
mobiles is pointed to as an indi
cation of prosperity. It is—for
the northern factories.
Just suppose the cotton farm
ers had depended on congress.
Instead they went to work and
are solving their own problems
in their way and in a few months
the foreign war will not affect
the South materially.
A DREAM
A farmer had a dream. He
dreamed that he raised 2,000
bushels of corn, and was very
happy. He then dreamed that he
sold his corn for a dollar a bushel
and his happiness grew great.
But he dreamed now that he had
sold to two thousand different
people, a bushel to each one, and
that none of them had paid him.
and then he was mad. When he
awoke it was broad daylight, and
leaping out of bed he exclaimed
to his wife: “Rebecca, I have
had a dream which gives a sol
emn warning, and I know the
meaning of it. lam going off
to town to pay the editor the dol
lar I owe him on the subscription
of his paper.” —Exchange.
For the first time in twenty
years Judge C. L. Bartlett is
now a private, but not in the rear
rank. He is a man of marked
ability and as a lawyer will be
heard from.
Juliette, that is, Paul Russell
Williams, wants anew county to
be carved out of parts of Jones,
Jasper and Monroe counties. A
lot of ideas originate on paper,
now don’t they?
It is rather suspected that the
new federal judgeship was crea
ted to take care of the “faithful”
rather than the increase of busi
ness. But at that Mr. Lambdin
is a good man for the place.
Macon is lamenting the fact
that she is without a congress
man and state senator, both of
these offices being filled by men
from the country countries. That
is not all. Macon is still without
the state capital.
The citizens of Butts county
pay out annually some $3,000 in
interest on county warrants and
discounts. The interest on a
bond issue would not amount to
that much, the discounting of
I warrants would be stopped and
| supplies could be bought at cash
prices, thus effecting a big sav
ing. It is simply good business
to vote bonds.
By the by, it is nearly time for
Editor Bloodworth, of Forsyth,
to begin writing about the sweet
girl graduates, with special ref
erence to the Bessie Tift girls.—
Butts County Progress.
Sufficient unto the day is the
sorrow thereof, and we refuse to
make ourselves sad this far in
advance by writing of the depar
j ture of the ‘ 'sweet girl gradu
ates.” But if you don't believe
that Bessie Tift has just the fin
est “sweet girl graduates” that
any college ever had. just come
over. Brother Jones, and we'll
prove it to you.—Monroe Adver
tiser.
Of the eight thousand ways to
kiss a pretty girl we've never
seen the good old fashioned way
equalled. —Griffin News.
Do pass on your recipe to Edi
tor Oliver Bloodworth. Brother
Duke. That may be the begin

lorshop. Butts County Progress.
Mebbe so, mebbe so! Come
across with that recipe, Duke,
and perhaps we can “screw up
our courage to the sticking point”
and try it just once. But aren’t
you about to lead us into tempta
tion? If the “good old fashioned'
way” is as good as you intimate,
and we should be able to over
come our bashfulness and try it
just once, and should then re
member that our experienced
friend Duke has discovered 7,999
other w r ays, wouldn’t it have a
tendency to confirm our “bache
lorship?” Asa novice, we come
to “experience” and ask for in
formation.—Monroe Advertiser.

On Thursday
At the age of six years, Ver
non, the son of Mr. and Mrs. J.
F. Cochran, died Thursday of

was popular and well liked.
The funeral was held Friday at
Fellowship church and the inter
ment was in the cemetery there.
Vernon is survived by his par
ents, who are well known citizens
of the western part of the coun
ty, several brothers and sisters.
