Ga.. Thursday Morning, Nov. 28, 1912. Don’t forget that it is blessings past that you are expected to be thankful for today. Dig crops or poor crops, hot or cold, wet or dry, the circus comes along and rakes in the cash. Every farmer who has sown largely of oats is in a fairway to be ready for Thanksgiving in 1913. It could scarcely be expected of Bob White to join in this Thanksgiving day except in a negative kind of way. If you are a solid Democrat it is up to you to give thanks to day, for you know not the day nor the hour when the other fel low will lick clean the platter on the pie counter. In this day of keen competition the man who knows how to spe cialize will come out on top. The man who does not rise above the average is not even heard of in the great shuffle. The suggestion of the Eastman Times-Journal that W. G. Brant ley should go to the U. S. Sen ate, in the event that Senator Bacon accepts a seat in Wilson’s cabinet, is a good one, and we second the motion. It has been demonstrated over and over again this season that there is more money in potatoes, corn, oats and hay than in cotton. But 999 jackscrews would not he sufficient to pull the all-cotton farmer off his cotton infatuation. Our esteemed contemporary, the Lyons Progress, causes vis ions of mountains of potato pone to arise in our hungry eyes by its declaration as to a thousand sur plus barrels of syrup and thou sands of bushels of yams without a market. The scheme of the Atlanta Journal to carry 125 Georgia school and college boys to see President Wilson inaugurated is one of the best recently suggest ed. The impressions made upon them would abide a life time. We urge Montgomery county boys to investigate the plan. One striking example of the great value of technical educa tion, in the South especially, is shown in the achievement of Ralph Ragan, the Tech student of Atlanta, who has invented a motor that will reduce by one half the cost of operating auto mobiles and all gasoline vehicles, as far as gasoline and lubricating oils figure. We have an abiding faith in the possibilities of South Georgia, and it’s one of our strong points to record the wonderful products of her soil and climate, whether in big turnips and potatoes or great corn yields, but that Pierce ; county sugar cane said to meas-! ure fifteen feet in length will j make us a little particular about! what we say hereafter. We did not announce last week that the season for shooting! quail had commenced the day before, as the sound of discharged shotguns all over the woods and fields rendered it unnecessary. We have long held the opinion, though conservatively unex pressed. that the Georgia idea of game protection is a large sized farce. The motive behind its laws is far more conducive to; vagrancy than to the protection of the farmer’s crop from de-' structive insects. TTTmTTVTTTMTTTTmTTTT. • Gleanings From 3 : Wisdom’s Field. \ ► Savannah Press:—Out in Mis souri they suggest canned coon ( to help out the cost of living. But wouldn’t this smack the least bit of cannibalism? Blackshear Times:—Hon. Ran dal Walker, our next Congress man, no doubt will recommend the right man for the postmaster ship over in Waycross, in view of the overwhelming majority he received in the “General Elec ; tion?” Monroe Advertiser: —Eggs in New York are selling for 72 cents per dozen and still some of the Monroe county people are talking of the high cost of living. They’re richly blessed in comparison with the people in some of the other sections of the country. Adel News:—With the eleva tion of Woodrow Wilson to the Presidency Georgia is coming in to her own again after many years. And his Georgia wife will grace the White House as few have done. Pembroke Enterprise:— The total membership of the Boys’ Corn Club of Georgia is about 10,000 and Governor Brown is one of the “boys.” Dawson News:—lt is the farm er who is sowing plenty of oats and wheat and will look after the hog and hominy crop when next year’s plans are made who can shake his fist in the face of the boll weevil and not bother about what will be done to old Dingley Bill. Sandersville Georgian:—Wash ington county contains a few farmers who produce nearly ev erything necessary for man and beast on their farms. Everyone in this class has a bank account, which proves that it is the best method of conducting the busi ness of farming. Covington News:—About the only thing which has not nearly doubled in price during the past few years is the weekly newspa per. It remains the same, but the game is getting to be mighty strenuous. Americus Times-Recorder: — Tom Watson has been indicted for sending obscene matter through the mails. If found guilty all Watson will have to do is to plead insanity. The state at-large will back him up in the plea. Covington News:—Many of our progressive farmers are al ready making preparations to sow a large amount of grain dur ing this and next month. The fact that the price of cotton is advancing is not sufficient to de tour them from their plans, either. Graymont Hustler: —Mr. Wil son, both before and since the i election has uttered assurances ; that no policy detrimental to business will be adopted. Perry Home Journal: —The true friends of President Wilson, if they think seriously, will not embarass him by contentions about the selection of cabinet of ficers, and others. Eastman Times-Journal:—ln the event that Hon. A. O. Bacon, senior United States senator from Georgia, should accept a position in Mr. Wilson’s cabinet, no bigger, brainier or better man ■ could be secured to succeed him in the Senate than Hon. W\ G. Brantley, present Congressman 'from the Eleventh district THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR —THURSDAY, NOV. 28, 1912. Church Pews for Sale. I The pews in the Mt.
