Twenty cent cotton is no longer a dream. If cotton is high, how about the cost of living? Everything is high but it doesn’t cost anything to smile. Give us a feed mill and we will be ready for the boll weevil. There is nothing wrong with your getting ready to shop early. Shop early. It pays. May be they will finish the count ing in Minnesota in time to announce the result by Christmas. The knocker occupies the bottom rung in the ladder of civilization. He is without honor anywhere. Prosperity is fine for the man who has cotton, but so many people haven’t got the fleecy staple. If in doubt, smile, boost and pat- Tonize home institutions and you’ll hit the bull’s eye every crack. All the constitutional amendments were ratified in the recent election, except the one regarding shipping. To wind up a year of primaries and elections, the election of Jus tices of the Peace is next in order. With the North Georgia Confer ence meeting in Griffin this week, Editor Duke should be well looked after in the way of prayers. How about some paved streets in Jackson? This is one improvement that should engage the serious atten tion of the business men of the city. Sure, the Jackson Rifles must have a Christmas box—two of them if nec essary. The folks back home will see to it that old Santa Claus calls on the soldier boys. Forsyth is getting ready for the 1917 fair. That’s just what Jackson is doing, too. The fair will be bigger and better next year and the equal of any in the country. Cotton hasn’t doubled in price dur ing the past year, while print paper has. Paper is nearly three times high er than it was a year ago. Cotton is not the only high flyer. To show their appreciation for his splendid work, the citizens of Tifton presented Editor Herring with a suit of clothes. Tift county is fortu nate in having an editor of Mr. Her ring’s caliber. We’d like to toss congratulations, felicitations and good-luck-tations to friend Doyle Jones, editor of the Jackson Progress-Argus, upon the re cent installation of amodel five Lino type in his office. —Monticello News. If W. J. Harris, member of the Fed eral Trade Commission and former chairman of the state executive com mitte, and Senator T. W. Hardwick lock horns the old state will be giv en a few thrills. Both these gentle men are smart politicians and experi enced campaigners. I In the face of present conditions, the man who plants all his crop in i cotton next year needs sympathy. I Better plant some wheat and oats and com and raise some hogs and cattle and fight the high cost of liv ing that way. Hon. A. K. Hawkes, who died in Atlanta the other day, was the type of man worth while. He made money but instead of spending it selfishly, he gave to charity and education. Mr. Hawke’s was a useful citizen and a patriotic Georgian. The fact that the fertilizer dealers are already selling their product, the earliest ever known, points to anoth er large cotton acreage next year. The sale of mules is also heavy. Bet ter not stray too far from the hog and hominy platform, Mr. Farmer. Hon. John D. Walker, of Sparta, chairman of the Georgia Democratic campaign fund, did fine work. Due in a large measure to his untiring energy and enthusiasm Georgia con tributed more than $22,000 to the election fund. Mr. Walker is a very able and very useful Georgian, and never loses an opportunity to serve the state when occasion is presented. It develops that there is a deficit of something like $300,000 in the Democratic campaign fund. If you are a loyal Democrat and have con tributed or want to help some more send your contribution to Hon. John D. Walker, Sparta, Ga. Honest,didn’t you get a dollar’s worth of fun out of the celebration? The Atlanta Journal has cut out its country exchanges. It may save a few dollars on white paper, but it’s dollars to doughnuts that the Jour nal will lose in the long run. The country weekly is just as essential to the city daily as the daily is to the weekly. Closer co-operation between the two is needed. Such mealy mouthed niggardliness on the part of Journal is resented by every self-re specting country weekly in the state. \ They let you know you’ve been smoking—and yet they’re MILD In other words, Chesterfield But they’re MILD, too —Chester- Cigarettes are MILD —and yet they fields are! satisfy.

N. 1. ” 16-4 The appointment by Governor Har ris of Hon. St. Elmo Massengale as a member of the W. & A. commission has met with general approval. Mr. Massengale rendered the state effec tive service as secretary of the state executive committee and is a suc cessful business man, being the head of the well known Massengale Ad vertising Agency of Atlanta. The records show that the ship ments of liquor are heavier under the new law than was expected. The express agents are reaping a rich harvest with a fee of three cents for each, shipment. There is talk of re pealing that clause of the new law. If Georgia ever expects to be dry there should be no compromise with the two-quart-a-month law. If you are not trading with home merchants you are missing a lot of bargains and failing to do your plain duty. FINCHERVILLE Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Maddox and children, and Mr. and Mrs. I. M.
