Thursday Morning, June 12, 1913. The Atlanta war reminds us of two cats who fought till nothing was left but their tails. Before you know it the good old summer time will be gone. Here’s hoping that the fall sea son will he just as kind. If an “insidious lobby” shows up in the Georgia gislature when that august assembly gets together ten chances to one it will be after a new county. Il is estimated that .‘»0,000 im migrants landed in this country at Kill's Island, N. V., last week. It would be interesting to know just how many Japs were in the throng and it they brought their guns along. % Who said the parcels post is not effective as a means of trans portation for small packages? ( Jerks in tlie Atlanta postoffice proceed to gnaw cakes that tire overweight down to the eleven pounds limit and then forward the remains. The fellow who borrows the Monitor from his neighbor to see what is going on in old Mont gomery is still out picking “first cotton blooms” and sending them in. We have swej t enough “first” blooms out the back door already to make several pounds of cotton. South Georgia is proud of the fact that 2,1 (la boys are enrolled in the corn dubs of its territory. And we are exceedingly proud of the N 2 members in Montgomery county. At an average? of fifty bushels, these hoys will increase the corn yield in this territory 108, 2f>() bushels. Since the death of B. S. Walk in', the M: on hanker who took bichloride of mercury tablets by mistake, the drug has become a regular article of diet with fools alluviT the country. And to carry out the suggestion, they usually take along a few aspirin tablets as an excuse for making a mistake. Congratulations to Col. B. A. Stovall of the Savannah Cress, who goes as minister to Switzer land. While Georgia needs her best men in the conduct of state affairs at home, it is highly im portant that this great nation be represented abroad by the high est type of our citizenship, and only men of sterling •’-uracter and a broad sense of right ai d justice like Col. Stovall should be sent. It is perfect 1> natural that we should hold up to our people examples that tend to their bet terment. Brooks county is out of debt and lias $20,000 in the treasury. The public affairs of Brooks county may not be man aged any bet te’than the affairs of Montgomery county. But the secret of that county’s great prosperity lies in the fact that the farmers sell meat and corn by the car load, instead of send ing all the money they can rake and scrape to the West for these articles. A firm of enterprising beo kcepers will ship 100 hives of bees from Meidrim. Ga.. where they have already stored 12,000 pounds of honey, to Lake Conne aut. I‘a., that they may gather anot her crop from the fall flowers in l’ennsylvama. Thousands of pounds of honey: go to waste in Montgomery county every spring f r lack of any intelligent effort to secure it. A northern apiarist will store his l>ees in a cellar one third of the year and then make more money than the average cotton farmer. • V TfTYTYYmTVTYYfYYYYYTYT • ► A ► Gleanings From 3 I Wisdom’s Field. \ ► < •AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Perry Home Journal:—The en ergy an 1 determination devoted to developing a successful base ball pitcher would earn a fortune in any legitimate business or pro fession. Fitzgerald Press: —The senate should pass that tariff bill at once. It is satisfactory to the people even if it doesn’t suit those who have grown rich by a protective tariff. Adel News: The Democratic party stands determined to fulfill its platform pledges and make an almost general reduction in the j tariff. It’s opponents will not be able to tack on many amend ments. Monroe Advertiser:—Some of the members of Congress are to have an old fashioned spelling bee. Judging from the way that they edit their speeches in the Record they won’t have to learn how to spell “applause” and “prolonged applause.” Hartwell Sun: —Strange how littlt; things get to be big ones in a short time. We venture to say • that if a man got hiH little toe i cut off, while at the depot, by the time the news reached “De catur st.” he would be cut half . in two, dead and buried. Ever I notice it? Atlanta Journal:—Alas for the young man whose only claim to distinction is a little straw lid with a multi-colored band. i Savannah Press: The Kansas wheat crop has received a set back. It is up to the Georgia Corn Club boys to make up the deficit. Americus Times-Recorder:— I I President Wilson seems to be ; able to improve both American i business and politics.

About $275, (XX) is the neat sum that they' had on de posit May 22d, this being the amounts on time and checking deposit. Dublin Courier-Dispatch:—And they say that better times are coming to Georgia this year. We hope they will take the shortest and fastest route, and bring their knitting and stay a long while. Greensboro Herald-Journal: How times change. In days of old woman’s life was given up to kids and switches. Now she’s out shrieking for votes and britches. Macon Telegraph:—The social side of a lawmaker’s life is open to attack by the insidious lobby, says Senator Ken von. We trem ble for the people’s right when grape juice gets in its work. Laurens Co.

Darien Gazette: If the re former was examined and then licensed we are sure that we would have a better class than we now have. There are too many in the business for what • there is in it. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, JUNE 12. 1913. Phenomenal Crop Os Oats in Brooks Quitman, Ga., June 9.—The first crop of 1913, the oat crop, is being harvested in Brooks coun ty and it is the most phenomenal yield ever known in a county where good crops are the rule and not the exception. One farmer estimates that the crop will be twice the volume of the average oat crop in this county. The bumper crop is due to sev eral reasons: first, the crops in the county generally had better preparation this year than ever before, and the season as to weather h:. been ideal in every paricular. The bad crop year of 1912 made every farmer work harder to make a good crop this year and the weather has been right in line with these efforts. Owing to the partial failure of last year’s oat crop and the fact that many farmers had to buy oats this spring, a larger acreage of oats was planted, also. The average yields of oats in the county has been about fifteen bushels to the acre; this average will he exceeded this year un doubtedly. D. C. Denmark of Hickory Head has 05 acres from which he harvested -15 bushels per acre. He has threshed out 4,000 bushels of oats so far and has not finished. A great many farmers are making fifty bushels to tfie acre, « Gov. Brown’s Record. The Quitman Free Press, in speaking of Governor Brown’s retirement from the office of governor, says: “When Governor Brown re tires from office a few wseks hence, he will have made a rec ord as one of the best governors Georgia has ever had, and that is putting it strong. For almost without exception those who have filled the office of chief executive of the state have made good officials. Gov. Brown’s state j papers have been exceptionally strong, and his urgent plea for a better enforcement of law has met the approval of all right thinking people.” New Road Notice.
