When Montgomery county far-! mers turn their attention more to stock-feeding there will be some- j thing going back to the soil, and in turn there will come back j products a hundredfold. , One of the great colleges now proposes to teach students how to rest. We have graduates all over this country who are past masters in the art of resting. Even correspondence schools can not give them a single pointer. About the year 2000 we may see our peo]>le availing themselves of the advantages that water transportation by the Oconee riv er would naturally afford. But, all freight and passenger traffic may be done by aeroplane barge lines in that day. Some progressive but superfi cial thinker of the Georgia press proposes biennial sessions of the Georgia legislature. What are you going to do with the errors and misfit enactments of the pre ceding session? What is the “error clerk” going to subsist on during two long years of political drouth? Word comes from Baxley that Appling county is to have fifty candidates in the field for the legislature and various county offices. Wo thought old Mont gomery county had a lot of the outrunningest candidates in the state, but that bunch of fifty sprinters over the river just takes the breeze out of our sails. When Democratic doctors get through diagnosing the weak points in the most available can didates for the presidential nom ination, and prove to their own satisfaction that every stick of timber off*‘rod is full of rot, the tht> Republicans will quit gig gling, in their sleeves, get to gether and walk off with the presidential plum, as usual. What is the difference between the outcome of a crop worth SIOO when sold, that cost to make and market $75, and one that brings SSO when sold, that cost $25 to make and turn into cash? For the benefit of improved farming methods and management we re fer this*little problem to the un fortunate ones who have not saved enough out of a year’s toil to pay their taxes. With the millions of bushels of cotton seed being dumped on the market, it is but reasonable to pupi>ose that genuine "hogless lard” will bo cheaper. But we , are told that the quality is not so good on account of the long stay ;of the cotton in the fields; anti the product may be like the box of axlegrease devoured by the Sopth Georgia darkey who pur chased it for cheese “mighty ran some, ’ ’ SENATOR BACON. We notice that several of the i small fry are wanting to contest ’ for Senator A. O. Bacon’s seat in the United State’s Senate on the .next round. Mr. Bacon has made a record that Georgia is proud of. He is considered one of the best constitutional lawyers in that body. He is a peerless parlia mentarian, a great orator, and a real statesman one of the lead ers whose wise counsel has steer ed the old ship of Democracy in to the advantageous position she now occupies. When the party comes into power, his guiding hand will Ih? needed more than ever. No, sir. Georgia is not go ing to shelve her foremost states-1 man at this juncture. - Marietta Herald. ITTTYYYYTTffITYTfTYTTTYTYY• £ From the Mouth 3 ► ◄ ► of Georgia Press ◄ > 3 aiIIi^iAAiAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Valdosta Times:—lt would be surprising to know the interest which is being felt in the Valdos ta Normal College all over Geor gia. There are hundreds of young men and women in North Georgia who want to locate in South Georgia and they will make their start by entering the Nor mal College. Atlanta Journal:—Wecommend the school authorities of Jackson for returning to the old-fashion ed spelling bee. Spelling should he taught by drill. We know some highly cultivated gentlemen who spell “all right” asoneword and who can’t begin to learn the various ramifications of “receive” and “believe.” Savannah Press:—John D. Rockefeller is trying to save his apple orchard. Since his resig nation as head of Standard Oil he leaves the care of his plum orchard to others. Perry Home Journal: —The “fear” that a southern man could not be elected president of the United States is expressed only by Southern politicians. There is neither political courage nor patriotism in such a fear. Darien Gazette:—lt syrely looks tis if the Democratic candi dates would all be turned down and a dark-horse nominated at Baltimore. The fight is growing warm. We hope they will “put on the soft pedal” and not knock each other “into a cocked hat.” Douglas Enterprise:Three men came to me at one time last Tuesday to pay up their subscrip tion to the Enterprise. Strange to say, there was not a candidate in the hunch. Just an ordinary case of “conscience trouble.” Americus Times-Recorder:— tiov. Joe Brown was inaugurated yesterday. The ceremony inter fered temporarily with hog kill ing on the Cherokee farm. Dublin Courier-Dispatch:—A lady living in the northeast who recently purchased a tract of land in Georgia has written the state agricultural department asking how to keep off frosts and snakes from her land. She must have a high opinion of the powers of the Georgia agricultural department and it is a pity that she will have to be disappointed. Pembroke Enterprise:—While chopping wood Monday Mr. Ben Warren accidentally severed one of his fingers from his left hand. Ben will only have four nails to manicure on that hand now. Savannah News:—Sky-scraper hats come next. That is the in formation from Chicago, where the milliners have been in con ference. Not only are the hats to be higher than ever in size, bul higher also in price. Mean while we are seriously discussing the increased cast of living. Macon Telegraph:—lt seems that those hookworms in a Peach tree street shop window’ which “thousands gazed at wdth awe,” and which prominent Atlanta physicians were advertised as in dorsing, turned out to be just plain old-fashioned maggots. The public is easily gulled. Fountain IVn Lost. Lost on Sunday last in Mt. Vernon one Waterman’s Ideal Fountain Pen. Had a gold band with the initials “C. C.” inseri l>ed.

I am in position now to secure loans on farm lands and town property in Montgomery County. | The lender that will handle my j business is*especially desireable ■ for parties that want big loans on farm lands, and for those who | want to build homes in towns. Their interest is 6 per cent. Terms five years, the borrow pay ! ing 1-10 each year thereby re jducingthe interest, and princi pal so the final settlement will be easy. The money for building or improving homes in towns is also 6 per cent, money, and the loans are arranged so the bor rower repays monthly for 60 months. You only have to add a little to the amount you are paying as rent to own you a home in a short time. I think this a good way for a person to get a home. L. C. Underwood, Mt. Vernon, Ga.
