Superior Court is on again. Make some one else happy if you would spend a happy Christ mas. It is all right to celebrate, but don’t forget the real meaning of Christmas Day. He is no aviator, but the pro gressive farmer is already plan ning to make the dirt fly for his 1913 crop. The farmer who undertakes to make his farm pay without fer tilizing it has only one rival in his foolishness—the capitalist j who tries to build a town without! people. Up around Athens they are putting bankers in jail. Down here in the wiregrass our small banks are paying institutions, and our bankers are fat and sleek and happy. Variety is all right as “the spice of life,’’ but we do object to the way some papers get out the portrait of Santa Claus. We hardly recognize the old man sometimes. Fine stock clubs will do for stock raising in Georgia what corn clubs an?now doing in Geor gia agriculture. Let Montgom ery county take the lead and or ganize the first one. The Monitor force will pass a safe and sane Christmas, and our readers need not deceive them selves with the idea that we are on a jag when they see our holi day edition next week. It is most gratifying to see hundreds of acres in this county “all dressed in living green” as the young oats are pushing through the ground. Next year will be a good one in this coun try. Advertising is the thing. Montgomery county is now in the limelight on account of fraudu lent land grants made 127 years ago. There seems to Ik? no tell ing how long a bit of advertising will last. Montgomery county corn club Ih»>s ought to have that prize acre all ready for the plow as soon as the holidays are over. And it would not hurt to turn it. over for the freezes that are to come later. Conquering the wilderness goes steadily on in this section. Now fields are being taken in and new ground being - turned over every winter. But there is enough | land to sustain a population ten times as great as we now have. ] Intensive cultivation will easily , solve the problem of increased j expense. One of Montgomery’s best farmers stood by the roadside this week to tell us that a small i ad in this pajier had sold his; large lot of seed oats and brought inquiries for 500 bushels more I than he had. Another man from j a small notice in this paper got ] business in a few days hat paid him $75. The fellow that does not believe in advertising has not been heard from lately. The Savannah Press of Thurs day last celebrated its 21st anni versary by a magnificent edition of a hundred pages. The Press deserves the great success it now enjoys as a live daily. This spe cial anniversary number does credit not only to the publishers, but reflects the magnitude of the commerce of Georgia’s great seaport; and the paper will be preserved by every reader who loves the history of our coast, where Georgia’s history really began. ' 'ttttttttttvtvtvttvttttttv ► Gleanings From 3 ► Wisdom’s Field. 2 • iltlliUtlAiliiniiliAlt Nashville Herald:—President Elect Woodrow Wilson, Governor Joseph M. Brown and the Better- Half of the editor of the Nash ville Herald will celebrate their birthdays on December 28th. If these distinguished gentlemen will meet at our board on that date we will have a spread. Lyons Progress:—We hear peo ple kicking about the scarcity of money in the marts of trade and in the financial institutions. Do you know the reason? It is be cause the farmers got scared over the hard times talk and he has kept his money in his pocket. Quit talking hard times and we will see a change. Laurens Co. Herald: —Forty- nine red-headed girls were re quired to launch a ship recently. This is like sending an army to step a French duel. Each one of those Titian haired damsels could probably launch a revolution and not half try. Vidalia Advance:—An “Empty Stocking Fund’ ought to be started here in Vidalia. While there may be none here who need help, there are other cities whose problems along this line are very great at the Yuletide season. Dublin Courier-Dispatch : There is very little doubt that the tariff will be revised down ward this time, and some of the congressmen seem aching to get a chance at the work. Still, they can entertain themselves with slicing pie until the time for re vision arrives. Hawkinsville Dispatch-News: According to an Atlanta court a man may drink a quart of liquor a day and “still be a gen tleman.” That ought toj be enojgh to satisfy any man and the fellow who exceeds that limit will deserve no sympathy if he loses his reputation as a gentle man. Macon Telegraph:—Prof. Wil liam B. Scott of Princeton, lec turing before the Brooklyn Insti tute, said that the camel origi nated in America. That’s why America got a good hump on herself on Nov. 5. Adel News: There is little danger of starvation in this great country of ours. According to the Government statistics, there has been harvested a corn crop of 3,169,187,000 bushels; or 281,- 921,000 bushels more than the greatest crop ever grown in any country of the world. Savannah Press:—England is ungrateful. We read where there are more marriageable women than men over there, and yet when a few American Mormons start preaching their doctrine on the streets of London they are mobbed. Valdosta Times:—The Demo crats in congress are not disposed to let everything slip through, their fingers these days. While serving the country by reducing the cost of living they are also going to increase the amount of pie which President Wilson will have to distribute, this in the re fusal to confirm many of Taft’s appointments. Atlanta Georgian:-The South, which once was an agricultural section exclusively, 6till is an agricultural section—but it is more. It is a manufacturing sec tion now —ten years from now it will be the manufacturing center i of the Union. I THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR-THURSDAY, DEC. 19, 1912.
