The old red yum is not (toast ing, hut is doing more “in our midst” to reduce the high cost of living than all the economic scribblers combined. To do any good, you should chip in at once on the Democratic campaign fund. The common people and not the trusts art making up this expense fund. When Woodrow Wilson comes down South on his triumphal hand-shaking tour as president of this great nation,^the hoys who chipped in for his campaign fund will feel mighty line. The Twelfth District Fair is in full blast now in Dublin. If you have not seen the exhibit try to attend tomorrow.

It may be well for country weekly edi tors to see that none of these SIO,OOO bills are shoved off on t hem. If you don’t got some profita ble pointers from the agricultur al fairs this fall it will be because you did not open your eyes. En thusiasm in agricultural and business circles in Montgomery county is not exactly dead, but is somewhat drowsy. We would fain bestow our sympathy upon South Carolina, with her people about to undergo another rule of Blouse; but our thoughts revert in sadness to our own capital city dangerously near the jHissibility of added disgrace by another term for Jim Wood- \ :m\. Way cross is infested with a band of Cherokee Indians. They are quite near good hunting grounds, the Okefenoko Swamp. And Cnele Obediah Barber, thej “King of the Okefenoko,” has I long since laid aside his rifle and gone to the happy hunting grounds of the whitefolks. Two famous auto racers were killed in the recent race meet in Milwaukee. They will be missed in their own particular field. But the example of a farmer or a businessman, who could go about his calling with the same energy that made these men world-wide celebrities, would l*e worth a whole cowpon full of such people to Montgomery county. We do not need the breath of Chinook that causes the roses to run riot over the valleys of Ore gon. and we haven’t got the fruits that hang in the sunshine of California’s happy vales, nor have we the music of roaring cataracts and great falls; but we have the best all-around country on the globe, right here in South Georgia. Our people, as far as Montgomery county is concerned, are asleep to its golden possibili ties, and it may take importer! hands to show it, but the truth remains. i »»»TV»mTYVTTYYYYmTYfT * ► M £ Gleanings From « ► Wisdom’s Field. < 1 1 ► 2 •AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIkikAAi Monroe Advertiser: —We feel like going back to our childhood ) days and saving “rain, rain, go away!” Didst ever see anything like the rain that has fallen this year and in a supposedly dry state, too?
