HELP THE PUBLIC ROADS TO
PERMANENCY,
If you can do a nytli it it; for th**
building of a system of iJofnl roads
for Montgomery comity, do it,
if it in nothitig more Ilian to throw
a shovel full of clny on the sund
hnd*. Many counties of t lu- state
have begun the iui|iort un t task oi
building suhstfliitml roads, and
there i* no reason why thix coun
ty should not begin the work,
which would prove of iiicstnmibb
value. More ami more the value
of good roads ix xeeo and iippre
eiateil, and we truat that the day
ix not far dial itiit w lien t lie put die
roads of Mont joinery county w ill
have received attention calculated
to put them in a (rood condition
Thix is not referring to the mere
matter of working the public
roadx, or censuring the present
system, but we mean to say that
the public roiidx id the county
can and should he built by some
permanent system, and when so
built can la* maintained at less
cost than required to work them
in the present met hod .
All exchange suggests that the
various (?) discoveries of the
North Pole were for lln* purposes
of gathering matter for the lee
tun* platform, to which many ex
plorers have taken. Possibly the
Kskinios are rubbing up on Kng
hsh preparatory to a visit among
the humbug loving Americans.
Mt. Vernon seems to lie infest
ed wdb burglars, ax, aside from
the recent postotliee follberv, II
number of hollies have been enter
ed, with slight losses. The shot
gun cure ix the best to he used tor
this, and a few doses properly
administered will reveal the ident
ity of t lie prowlers.
As t lie year closes, it im oppor
tune to be framing new year reso
lutions- inly about three weeks
otv, and many subject* to he con
sidered.
If you feel the effect* id" lligll
priee cotton, do nut keep it hid—
pay your debt*. Not all of its are
cotton raisers.
Hawkinxville News Dispatch :
(
A number ot our exchanges are
publishing (inventor Brown's res
ponse to the toast, "Georgia, at
the Taft banquet in Savannah,
“by request." The editors id
these papers evident Is d»> not
know a good thing alien they see
0 , <<r they would have printed the
governor's speech without request,
as ;t was acknowledged to lie the
best one delivered on tin* ah *V'*
named occasion.

Savannah News:—l- (ioorgia
growing rich? Is she prosperous?
(dlance over the report of State
Treasurer and State Hank Kxain
iner Brown, which appears in an
other column. It shows that tlu
ll* posits ip. state ami national
banks in Georgia have increased
approximately om« hundred mil
lion dollars 111 a year. The ligur
,-s arc not exact, f•»r reasons -till
ed bv Mr. Brown, but there can
le mi doubt that they arc accurate
a» tsr as they reach and point
straight to the above conclusion.
K.verv bank in the state show- a
healthy increase—a most gratify
ing mgre.tsv— — in deposits.
NO SACRIFICE REQUIRED,
W huv -e,-n several men dur
ing tin* ;m-t few months from
Meld and North Georgia, and
nearly nil of t hem have inquired
for farm or farm lauds for sale—
they wish to ptirchuse homes here
• in our county—and judging them
by tic* men from these sections
who have already’ made their
homes with 11*. they would make
veil desirable fit l/e|ix.
We hope that our land owners
who have farms and farm lands
lor-ale will not. ask extortionate
priees, for we very inueli need
more good farmers to cultivate
l he fertile lands now covered with
the gr iwtb of t he forest.
But perhaps our land owners
need a little warning. Me just
ask that (hev remember tln? man
ner in which the turpentine and
timber—tin* great natural wealth
ol this count 1 y—was disposed of
at a mere song. Surely mir peo
ple will profit by tin* experience
d tln* past and will not let the
fertile acre.- ot Toombs go ax did
I In* t lirpent ine and t 1 111 I .er.
When we hear a man boasting
that he sold his farm in some
I oiler par! of the state and in
vested here in imieh better farm
; lands at about one-half tin* price
lol* wliieh lie sold, We fee| called
upon to warn our friends not to
xeil too cheap. While we are all
anxious to have good tanners
I tom less favored sections become
cit izens wit It ns, it does not re
quire any sacrifice on our part to
old at n this .*1 id, lor when men
coni' li,*r<* and see that this is tin*
favored section of our great state,
they will pay the true worth of
tie* farm laud and abide with us.
Our public -eh oo ls are now as
good ax any in the slate and our
public roads are hemg put into
tirst class condition, and there is
no better place in the south ill
which to live than in Wireginxs
.Georgia. Let us put forth every
elVor! possible to have good fann
ers take up their abode with its,
but make 110 sacrifice and require
nolle of them,—Toombs County
Local.
