Ga.. Thursday Morning, Nov. 13, 1913. - - ■ The corn club movement is one' of great merit, and a movement from which lasting benefit will j . •come. It is in effect in scores of j . counties, the interest this yearj being more than double that of last year, notwithstanding the unfavorable weather conditions in many parts of the state. Many of the yields will go over 100 bushels to the acre, and the standard of excellence will con tinue to rise. The corn show to fie held in Atlanta Dec. 2 to 5 will be an occasion which will bring joy to the girls and boys who attend and take part. Let the boys of Montgomery take even a greater interest next year. It is possible that their first exhibitions will be held in a county fair.in this county next year. It is not always that the cotton farmer is happy at this season; . '(this year being somewhat an • exception) for the farmer who has produced a good crop of grain and foodstuffs, including a sup ply of meats, should not be em barrassed at any season. The man who raises home supplies can defy hard times, and always maintain the respect of his fel low men. Montgomery county has many such farmers, but we hope the time is not far distant when every farm in the county ■ will be not ■ sd ' si staini but ope Correct tensive . r r ward bringing progress and prompt rig . • - The Twelfth District Fair in Dublin was a success in the full sense of the word, and its per ■ 4.. pianency has been established be yotid question. Before another year arrangements will probably bv made for larger quarters, and all counties of the district will send exhibits. Dublin being the largest town in the district, is the logical place for the district • fair, and those who attended the show are fully "convinced that Dublip should be the future home of the fair. Atlanta has a famous French cook who has catered to the -tastes of titled heads and noted •> • .. European persons, and who still remembers their individual taste. I '* He has also served the invincible Tdddy on an African trip. The Atlanta- reporter who recently lauded the ability of this famous chef failed to-recite that he was " the same French army officer who made a very savory dish for his visiting British officer out of . the cover of his old green silk umbrella. Whatever may be the ultimate .. result of the Mexican squabble, it is evident that the United States will not have acted with out mature deliberation on the part of the administration. It is . possible that Uncle Sam may be able to put a damper on the meeting without assuming the chairmanship. Montgomery county is very much in need of some public spirited lady who will inaugurate • the canning club movement in tjilfl county. The work is hon orable. highly educative and very profitable. The boy of this day has a hui - dred.'oppor a - ties for advance , njent that - - • o fifty • -realfce t these op-. n»n. This is the most pppor: me tunc for Uye boys of the conr clubs-.to -lay* their, plans wisely and well for the next crop. ► Gleanings From ◄ ► Wisdom’s Field. * LaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaJ Savannah Press:—lmmigrants suffering from hookworm ean-j not come into this country. We saw one the other day pushing a, peanut cart. (Not a hookworm, I mind you —an immigrant.) LaGrange Reporter:— lt will be something of a problem to find another engineering task for Col. Goethals that will be a suitable successor to the Panama Canal. The suggestion that he be given the job of curbing the Mii»i«»ip* pi is a good one. Waycross Herald: — In several places Tuesday’s election results put the saloons out of business. The good work goes on and in spite of the cry that! prohibition don’t prohibit. Greensboro Herald-Journal:— ! A western divine wants to know where liars go. Well, we used to be told by the preachers that they went straight to hell, but now that the Russellites say there is no hell, we’ll be horn swigger ed if we know where they go.

Ail right, j Pass the turnips, the i . rs, the collards and back bone. the cane syrup and the corn bread, please. Darien Gazette:— Put up an old blind mule for an office and people will vote for it. if they get it into their heads that the things has been ill-treated. Monro Advertiser: —A Lown des count girl cleared one hun dred and ti rty two dollars with a canning club outfit, using pro ducts that were produced on one; tenth of an acre. When our Girls can do this, it is time that the people of Georgia began to sit up and take notice. Telfair Enterprise:— The in come Tax law went into effect last Saturday. About the only 1 way it will concern we newspa per men is in a news way. Dublin Courier-Dispatch:— lf the corn clubs helped to produce our 72 million bushel crop, what will the pig clubs do? Help us to keep the west from hogging all our agricultural profits, of course. Macon Telegraph:— The divorce mill, working under the direction of the Bibb county superior court, ground out twenty-five divorces in one day. Pretty fast work, but just think how popular the court is making “trial mar- 1 riage.” Atlanta Georgian:— lts thirty Superior Court Judges receive. #3,IKK) per annum each; its four Court of Appeals judges receive SI,OOO each; and its Supreme Court Justices receive $6,000 each. There is not a judge in Geor gia. perhaps, who could not easi ly make from two to ten times his present yearly income, as a j radioing attorney. Vtl: ntr.
