Ga.. Thursday Morning, Oct. 3, 1912. Hard times in Montgomery county is nothing so dreary to contemplate as life in Central Africa. Surely you will go and take along the whole family to the Twelfth District Fair in Dublin, Bth to the 12th. We have struggled past one more election. But the hazy forms of many yet to lie are seen far down the road. The state constitution has been amended until its apjiearance is somewhat like the body of a crazy quilt. Why not make a new one? The Atlanta emergency news manufacturer, after resting from his labors a few hours, is now running Governor Brown against Hoke Smith for the U. S. senate. One single enterprise paying out money every week in wages is worth more to a town than a whole army of projects in the dim and distant future that never materialize. The most common and diminu tive agricultural exhibition held in Georgia this fall will be a suc cess. Someone will get ideas that will lift him out of the old rut of failure and despair. Young man, if you are depend ing on cotton to cut a caper in the field of matrimony, you had just as well change your slogan to ‘‘corn and tutors for two.” The cotton crop will be very brief in this country. The ladies of Montgomery county ought to have on exhibi tion at the Dublin Fairnextweek a lot of fancy work and samples of preserves, pickles and jellies. Get a premium list today from the secretary, It. M. Martin, Dublin, Ga. Teddy’s triumphal march through Georgia was quite a tame affair. But, humiliating as it may appear, a few fools in this great Empire State of the South ; will vote for him, and would do the same thing for the devil if he announced for any office. We are sincere in hoping that the crowd elected yesterday to the Georgia legislature will a few men who are not of the swapping variety. We are sadly in need of law makers who will not take up the entire session in exchang ing votes on petty local measures and who are capable of making a few laws needed by the people of the whole state. There is no disputing the fact that the oat crop is the one hope of the farmers of this country. I Planted and harvested without one cent for cost of cultivation, it is nearer all profit than any crop made in this section. Ami a paying crop of hay after the oats are off. also made without cultivation, makes a combination j that every farmer should bank on. And October is the time to ! put in the oats. The strike in Augusta and its resulting loss of life and property has been a costly and humiliating occurrence for Georgia. The time is coming, even in this quiet and peace-loving Southland, when government must take hold of these things with a strong hand. A man has a right to quit work, but when he declares that no one else shall work, and proceeds to kill and destroy property and the business of others, he is an anar chist that should be promptly jailed. *1 VTVT'TTirTTVTTVTTTTTTTTTV • £ Gleanings From m t Wisdom’s Field, « • AAUUAiAAAAiAAAaiiiAAU Eastman Times-Journal: A Macon woman has brought suit against her husband for divorce, charging ‘‘progressive cruelty.” Now what in thunder is that? Savannah Press: —lt is pointed out as one of the triumphs of journalism that Lillian Russell has now teen married to her edi tor husband three months and there is still no talk of divorce. Adel News:—The people of Adel ought to organize a working Board of Trade. Let’s get to gether on the night when the city officers are declared elected and organize to put forth con certed action for the upbuilding of our town. We are doing very well but we ought to do better. Clinch Co. News: —More brick stores to be built right away. My! My! We have only just begun. Give Homerville another year, and she’ll be a hummer. Valdosta Times: — Two G. A. R. veterans, sixty six years old engaged in a foot race in Michigan this week, one of them running ten miles in an hour and fifteen minutes. These old veterans can thank the Con federate regiment for teaching them how to run. Telfair Enterprise:- We are reliably informed that much cot ton is being picked by the people that raised it. It’s not a bad idea even if it is forced upon them by necessity. A great many farmers will cultivate a crop to maturity, and then balk when harvest time arrives. Waynesboro Banner:—lt seems to us that these are the hardest times of a quarter century. The theory of the trusts that their high prices helps everybody is just a plain lie. The fellows at the bottom can’t produce enough to keep up. Nashville Democrat: The only sign so far that the coming win ter is to be a hard one is the Tex as negro who was caught wear ing nine uairs of pants. He ought to know as much as the goose tene.tho corn shuck or the ground squirrel. I Dublin Courier-Dispatch:—lt has been decided by the postof fice department that reviewing a book received is an advertisement and, if put on the editorial page, must be marked as such. There is a bunch of incompetent cranks in charge of the mail service. Ogleteorpe Echo:—With what sort of intelligence can a voter down ateut Darien or St. Marys vote for the judge and solicitor of our circuit, and vice versa. But such voting will have to be done in the election next Wed nesday. Darien Gazette:—lf a man has seven of uninterrupted opportu nities to do something and didn’t do it, what hope have we that he will do it if given another chance? asks The Commoner.

New York, Sept. 28. —The greatest gathering of American warships yet attempted which will far exceed the collection of sea fighters that passed before the Emperor William at the re cent review of the German navy, is to take place here next month, and interest is already keen over the promised spectacle. Alto gether 127 warships will be in line on the Hudson river. Os ! these 34 will be battleships, as compared to 22 taking part in the German review. Thirty-two of these will be first-class dread noughts, or all big gun ships, and the total number of twelve inch guns will be 148, or just 100 more than Germany was able to show. In addition, Uncle Sam’s fleet will boast eight 13-inch guns. Aside from the battle ships, 4 armored cruisers, 4 crui | sers, 21 special type vessels, 6 naval militia vessels, 6 colliers. 2G destroyers, 16 torpedo boats and 10 submarines will go to make up the enormous fighting fleet, while the crews will prob ably total over 25,000 men. The j two biggest ships will be the Arkansas and the Wyoming, the i newest battleships in the navy, jof 26,000 tons each. What such | a fleet could do to New York’s | famous sky line is a matter of much conjecture, but one which | is unlikely ever to be proven, j since experts hold that it would be impossible for a hostile fleet to gain entrance to the harbor. A single shell from each of the 156 i big guns would be sufficient thor oughly to wreck downtown New York, while it would be a simple matter for the submarine to tor pedo the subways and tubes un der the river, all within a period of fiveminutes. In spite of this, however. New York is planning to make this war vessel show a greater gala day occasion than ever. A. L. Lanier, Attorney at Law, MT. VERNON, GA.

It sounds common. ” “Common, eh? We have to eat, don’t we?” “Os course!” “And George knows we eat and use dishes?” “That’s very true.” “And George also knows that dishes have to be washed, there fore somebody has to wash them?” “But mother” “What now?” “If you keep on talking about it George may discover that you make father wipe them, and he may think the same thing is com ing to him if he should propose to me.
