I. hn» been put in |>oHi-j lion nnd will heat the building sufficiently to prevent another ad journment of hcliooi on aecount { of cold room*. 'riie young man, young lady, girl or hoy who fails to secure an education, taking into considera tion the match loan advantage* now being offered, is making the moat fatal mistake of life. Savannah Press:—Mr. Taft nays plainly that he want* a emigre** “amenable to persuas ions and discipline.” Nothiing could bo more un-American ex claims an Alabama paper. ll is a true saying that a town with live churches and good schools grows more rapidly than towns without these most import ant institutions. Hence Mt. Ver non's steady and substantial growth is easily explained. . Ml. Vernon, Alley, and stir, rounding count ry can well afford to feel proud of the corps of ni si rectors, from President Brewton on down the line to the teacher of the first grade. No school in South Georgia is ahead of the I . B. I. in tins respect. The schools in the rural dis tricts opened Monday morning. The teacher# for all these schools have been selected with great care on the part of the County Com missioner, and the patrons of the sehools should lend all possible aid to their teacher and try to make theirs the best school in the county. It is predicted that more hogs will be butchered in Montgomery county this winter than at any previous season in tin* history of the county. This, in connection with the big corn, cane, potato, pea and hay crops, sounds good to us. Montgomery county tann ers are finding out that cotton is not “all in all.” We are glad to note no much small grain being sown by our farmer*. This is as it should be. Farmer, listen, cut the cotton crop down so very low that the Wall Street “gamblers” sill not be howling “overproduction” next fall. Make cotton scarce. You have the key to the situation, and as a home-loving, up-right, hon orable citiien it is your duly to “turn” this Ley. ' j I The Monitor has always been, is today, and will alvwiys lie in ( favor of education. We Imiicve | the Teachers’ Institutes are nmv nig to be one of the main spokes in the education wheal, especially when they are presided over hv such highly educated and polished , gentlemen like Prof. Brittain. The ( assembling together of these teacher* is not only pleasant occa sions, bill very beneficial to them. ’ \ Our present grand jury should 1 make ii a point lo investigate ' things carefully, and where men ' and measures need ‘‘touching up” tins should be done, li is claim- 1 ed by some that looseness in the 1 court* in many instances has 1 helped in no small way to bring 1 about mob violence, night riding, 1 etc. We never want to set any 1 mob or hand of mglit riders tak- I mg charge of the law in fair old ; Montgomery, 1 , 1 f SAID IN GEORGIA SANCTUMS. % i <5 •A , r ..

The Pennsylvania Railroad, owner of the coal, pros ecuted him. There wns a cloud ! of witnesses,nnd he was convicted and sent to jail for five days. It 1 is a heinous sin to steal, where fore Taylor’s sick wife had to he l deprived of Ins care for five days j to satisfy the demands of justice.

At this rate Chan cellor Day should be on the pay! r«»ll for at least SIOO,OOO a year. 1 Darien Gazette:—lt will get so after awhile that every freak ini the I nited States will insist on 1 starting a new national party of Ins own. And the big dailies are encouraging them by publishing 1 heir ravings. Amorims Times - Recorder : l'lie cash and borrowing credit of the State will have been exhaust ed, wise ones say, when Governor Smith retires from oflice. Gov. Brown will face an empty treas ury, large appropriations and a credit diminished to naught. Gov. Smith may have reason to con gratulate himself that the people! retired him. Financing Georgia I is going to be a great problem next | year. Milieu News:—lf there is any-j thing wrong with your town don’t ! sit down and grumble; get to I work to make it. right.

Dublin Tinu -: —Congressman ■ Edwards of ile First lias retired from the practice of law. Now it Edwards were a Republican, there might be some suspicion ' that he had made enough in one ; term to retire from law but since ; he is a good Democrat it must be presumed that he simply has enough money to quit working. i THE MONTGOMERY MuNTI uß—Til i'jj.SDA Y, XoV. 5. iOU*.
