PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY. OFFICIAL ORGAN MONTGOMERY COUNTY. KuOied .it tli, P<i-to file- In Mt. Vernon. Oa. an Second-Class Mail Matter. M. B. FOLSOM, Editor and Owner. $• ■ Year, In Advance. ts wlvi 1 tin mc-ntu must Invariably be paid ir advance, at the legal rate, and an the law rtii < ci-; a:> 1 inn-1 be in band not later than Wednesday morning of the flrat week of inaertion Mount Vernon, Ga., Thursday Morning, FEB. 22. 1912. If you did not register in 1011, you will have to do so before April 2d, 1012, if you vote in the state election. It is said that eight states are in favor of the Rock Hill reduc tion of acreage plan. The main thing is to get the farmers to set their hands and affix their seals to it. Mr. M. I’. Pope of Washing ton, Ga., speaking before the merchants’ convention in Atlan ta last week, declared that the hull weevil is the only thing that will force crop diversification. We will wait and see. The Canadians are importing butter from New Zealand on ac count of the high price of the home article. This country could save millions on such products by j making them at home instead of the circuitous plan of importa tion. A girl in California has pro posed to a sly old bachelor, he has accepted, and the wedding is being arranged for. If this thing spreads and gets to be epi demic down this way, the cotton acreage reduction will be a useless undertaking. 11. (!. Hastings, the seed man of Atlanta, gives some correct views on the cotton situation in a letter to the Tifton chamber of commerce. Mr. Hastings warns against rushing into the vege table business, and speaks decid edly in favor of hay and corn as sure and safe crops. We note that the Standard Oil Company’s delivery tank is now pulled by a spike team —two horses and a mule —in place of the two old lop-eared mules who have for so loi been hauling the illuminating fluid to this sec tion. Has this any connection with the fact that Mr. Rockefel ler invested two dollars in Geor gia last week in the purchase of an automobile tag, or any indica tion that oil will be higher? The old free-and-easy way of j farming and living in this conn- j try is a thing of the past. The j “cattle on a thousand hills” that j once formed a part of our system' are only a memory. But there is not the shadow of a doubt that improved stock raising furnishes the most direct solution of the farming problem yet presented. , Stock feeding enriches the soil in a cheaper and more lasting way than will ever prevail under the old plan of paying out all the money that cotton brings for mules and fertilizers. Fertility of Washington. Seven gentlemen from Wash ington county, including Hon. Lawson E. Brown, lately elected president of the Farmers’ Co-op- i erative Union of Georgia which j held its meeting in Macon this’ week, weighed over two hundred , pounds each. This fact escaped the lips of Mr. Brown while talk- \ ing to a reporter of The Tele graph in the lobby of the Brown House yesterday afternoon. “You see, said Mr. Brown, j “this goes to show the fertility of, Washington county. I am pretty certain that there are sev-! en of the many delegates from my county who will tip the scales ; at a mark above 200 pounds. They are I. A. Smith, F. J. Gar- In'tt, C. B. ThigjK'n, J. W. Slade, Dr. J. R. Henderson and M. R. Tucker. There’s no denying the fact that Washingtc .1 county is right there when it comes to j raising hL men.” Everybody joined in a hearty laugh.- Macon Telegraph. 1 VVVTYTTTfTTTYTYYYmYYTTY • E From the Mouth \ £ of Georgia Press 2 AAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Clinch Co. News:—When Geor gia produces enough food-stuffs . for its people and enough hay and grain to feed its stock, then we, in deed and in truth, will be living in a paradise. That time : should not be far off. Savannah Press:—Both Brant ley and Edwards want life-sav ing stations established in Geor gia. They must think this pro hibition business has become pretty bad in their districts since they left home last fall. Hartwell Sun:—Every year sees old Hart steadily climbing to the top as one of the best ag ricultural counties in Georgia. Let’s have a fair this fall and see how the county is progres sing. Fanning is the county’s only support, and the more we do and the better it is done, the more money we’ll have. Americus Times-Recorder:— Drain the unproductive lands and solve the problems of high prices says Heinz, the pickle man. Bosh! There’s hundreds of thousands of acres of good land that do not need draining that are not being cultivated. The problem lies somewhere else than in the swamps. Pembroke Enterprise:—Editor Howell of the Cuthbert Leader wishes the public would apply the golden rule to newspaper ed itors. Too much to expect, John, would be like heaven on earth. Adel News:- LaFollette killed his presidential boom by speak ing a little too long and inveigh ing against the newspapers at a banquet. Another instance of where silence would have been golden. Dublin Courier-Dispatch:—The man who stated that Georgia is just oozing gold hit it right, but most of it can be had only by digging for it and digging deep. Still, there is no state where the man who works the land will he more bountifully repaid for his | labor, Hawkinsville Dispatch-News: Mr. Bryan says it would be sui cidal for the democrats to nomi nate Governor Haruion. It was also suicide for them to nominate Mr. Bryan but they did it three times before they became fully convinced of the fact. Crawfordville Advocate-Demo crat:—Gins running in February is a new thing for this section, although we are in the cotton belt of the Empire State of the South. Greensboro Herald-Journal: — The price of cotton has been go ing up ever since Gov. Brown was elected Governor. We are willing for the Governor to hold down his present job just as long as ho doesn’t let the price of cot ton go below 10 cents. # Cedartown Standard:—lt has been a number of years since this section of Georgia has had a six inch snowfall, and but for the j rain Friday night the snow of j Saturday would have been much deeper. Its coming will doubt : loss add to the fertility of our fields the coming season. Farmers’ Union Meet. The Farmers Educational and Co-operative Union, Montgomery County Division, will meet at, Glen wood on the 23d of Febru-1 ary. All members urged to at ted. Jas. T. Geiger, 1 Secretary. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, FEB. 22, 1912. . Pain in Heart "For two years I had pain in my heart, back and left side. Could not draw a deep breath or lie on left side, and any little - exertion would cause palpita tion. Under advice I took Dr. Miles’ Heart Remedy and Nervine. I took about thirteen bottles, am in better health than I ever was, and have gained 14 i pounds." MRS. LILLIE THOMAS, Upper Sandusky, Ohio. 1 For many years Dr. Miles’ Heart Remedy has been very 1 successful in the treatment of heart troubles, because of its • tonic effect upon the heart nerves and muscles. Even in severe cases of long standing it has frequently prolonged life for ■ many years after doctors had given up all hope, as proven by ■ thousands of letters we have re ! ceived from grateful people. Dr. Miles’ Heart Remedy Is sold by all druggists. If the first bottle falls to benefit, your druggist will return your j money. MILES MEDICAL CO., Elkhart, Ind.
