Jumped From Seaboard
Train and Broke Neck.
The Sunday excursions to Sav
annah and its summer resorts are
very frequently the occasion of
tragedies, and last Sunday was
110 exception to previous trips.
There is always a rowdy element,
full of cheap Sunday whiskey on
the return trips on every train.
Full of the infuriating liquid,
coming out on the Seaboard Air
Line train Sunday evening, was

A SAFE INVESTMENT,
The citizens of Mt. Vernon
have several opportunities for
helping the town just at this time.
One of our most pressing needs is
41 good hotel. No single citizen
may have idle money to invest in
such enterprises, but the building
of a respectable hotel would lie
dead easy if a stock company
were formed and all put in small
amounts.
Naturally, we have a beautiful
location for a town, but are sadly
lacking in accomodation for the
traveling public. We are adver
tised —in the wrong direction —by
every traveling man who calls
here; because we have inadequate
arrangements for caring for those
who come and go.
Summer boarders from large
towns like Savannah could easily
be induced to spend the heated
term he/e on the Oconee. If any
one cared to furnish accommoda
tions. No town w r as ever made
without people and no people ever
made a town without effort.
“the harvard BRAND.”
The “Harvard Brand” clothing
advertised in this paper by Mein
hard, Schaul & Co. has proven a
winner by all who have worn or
handled the line. This popular
firm would not spend money to
advertise a poor article. Our mer
chants should investigate this
trade-maker.

A MONTGOMERY BOY’S SUCCESS*
J. E. Ladson, a young man of
this county, who, for the past
eighteen months has been Stenog
rapher for the Sibley Lumber Co,
of Sibley, Ga, lias tendered his
resignation to accept a position
with the American Car & Foundry
Co, of St. Louis, as Steuo-book
keeper.
Mr. Ladson, has developed
marked talent as an office-man,
and the offer lie has received and
accepted, shows with what favor
he is being received abroad. His
many Montgomery friends are
justly proud of his record, and
_heartily rejoice with him in the
deserved success he is winning.
We think he,deserves the encour
agement of all Montgomery
county in his efforts to make a
success in the world.
Many of the good citizens of the
county were in attendance at the
