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 rising to any appreciable extent. Let us extend thanks. Foolish question No. 12,333,- 777. How many of the Monti cello lynchers did the Jasper county grand jury indict? Turkey may escape with her life but when the allies get done with her, this old “bird" will never look the same any more. With eight thousand ways of kissing tucked away in his sys tem Editor Duke of Griffin ought to be a popular man with the old maids. If it does not close in the mean time the war will be settled by some 'steen thousand budding orators at the coming commence ment season. Latest figures show the popu lation of Georgia to be 26,990,222 —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.

Do pass on your recipe to Edi tor Oliver Bloodworth. Brother Duke. That may be the begin ning of the end of his bacher 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. “10 GENT CASCARETS” IF BILIOUS OR COSTIVE For Sick Headaches, Sour Stomach, Sluggish Liver and Bowels--They Work While You Sleep.
