Mount Vernon, Ga.. 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. •

Perry Home Journal:—The en

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

be able to tack on many amend

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

I notice it?

Dublin Courier-Dispatch:—And

Greensboro Herald-Journal:
How times change. In days of

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.”
