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

• - 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 -

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.

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.”
