PI BUSHED EVERY THURSDAY. OFFICIAL GROAN MONTGOMERY COUNTY.
Entered at the PostofTlce in Mt. Vernon, Oa. as Second-Class Mail Matter.
11. R. FOLSOM, Editor and (»wni r. a Year, in Advance.
;al advci tiHcment- must invariably lie paid to advance, at tin: leftal rate, and a* the law
direct*; and inuat he in band not later than Wednesday morninß of the tirat week of insertion
Mount Vernon, Ga.. Thursday Morning, Nov. 27, 1913.
Who will he the first Mont
gomery county boy to organize a
pig club?
.lust at this time the turkey
crop is attracting almost as much
attention as the cotton crop.
Every honest tax payer should
stand by Hon. .John G. Hart in
his efforts to regulate tax-paying
in this state.
We have not seen any truer
picture of independence and pros
perity than the peanut fields full
of fat hogs over this section.
They are working hard to get
up opposition to Congressman J.
Randal Walker over in the old
Twelfth. Same old game —the
outs want to get in.
Several of our exchanges last
week announced that “the game
law was out yesterday.” Per
haps thOy intended to say instead
that the hunters were out.
You can trace the wanderings
of a wild hog in the Okefenokoe
Swamp about as easily as you
can get the truth of the real situ
ation in Mexico by reading the
newspapers.
To the man who has not se
cured his Thanksgiving turkey
one exasperating thing comes up
at this glad season the multipli
city of plans published in the last
two weeks for stuffing that tur
key.
The Rock mart News has been
purchased by Hon. 11. M. Stan
ley and his son Lytton M. Stan
ley has charge of the paper. We
predict that Lytton will prove
“a chip off the old block,” and
give the people of Rock mart a
good paper.
The-Atlanta Corn Show to be
held Dec. 2-5 promises to be an
exhibition worth while. These
evidences of the grand work of
the Boys’ Corn Clubs will do
good. Our only regret is that
every boy in Montgomery county
cannot attend.
Now is tin 1 time to make sure
of prosperity next year, Our peo
ple should study to lose none of
the ground gained by the good
price of cotton prevailing this
season: Every crop that will
keep money at home should be
carefully considered.
One glorious idea in all corn
contests is that every contestant
is benefit ted. In all farm exhib
its at state :tnd county fairs every
participant benefits himself, and
stimulates the work of every at
tendant. Why cannot Montgom
ery county have a first-class fair
in 1914?'
It is gratifying to note that the
plan of cutting up large planta
tions into small farms is growing
in favor over the state. More
homes owned by farmers will
add stability and insure more in
depepdent people and better
crops. Better schools and a more
intelligent and reliable citizenry
will result.
The jsoil of this section is capa
ble of sustaining a population
many times greater than that
which is now on it. But soil fer
tility must help to double the
present amount of crops. Live
stock farming must be incorpo
rated with our farming opera-,
tions to secure the highest re
sults. Permanent soil fertility l
will never be accomplished by
scantily feeding the land with
commercial fertilizers. ■

Pembroke Enterprise:—Hen
eggs are getting to be almost as
scarce around here as hen teeth.
The hens must have joined the
suffragetts.
Savannah Press:— I TheEmperor
of Germany has barred the tango

would indicate that he is trying
to start a September Morn ball
room regime.
Dublin Courier-Herald: —There
is absolutely no telling what Dub

walnuts and wine.
Greensboro Herald-Journal
The demand for cattle becomes
greater and greater every year.
Mr. Farmer, if you have a pas
ture, get busy. Raise cattle, and
then raise some more cattle.
There is more money in cattle
raising than in cotton raising.
Monroe Advertiser:—The ver
iest pessimist should be happy
that he is alive these days, when
the' hills and bottoms are clothed
m such gorgeous splendor, with
the trees dressed in leaves of
yellow, brown and gold, with
here and there a sprinkling of
green. Nature has indeed paint
ed an incomparable masterpiece
on Georgia’s old red hills.
Telfair Eenterprise:—lf every
owner of a worthless dog would
do away with the dog and take
the dollar that he has to pay as a
tax for the privilege of owning
the dog and buy him a pig, then
feed the pig on the scraps that
the dog formerly consumed, there
would he some decrease in the

the Mexicans have never had a

And they never will as long as
Huerta and his hunch of cut

Waycross I lerald: —Georgia

in producing some wonderful ap
petites. They are also of the
Georgia variety.
Valdosta Times:—Ex-President

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR-THURSDAY, NOV. 27, 1913.
Beware of Cure-Alls,
Warns Uncle Sam.
Washington, Nov. 26.—Inves
tigation by the department of
agriculture has uncovered a new
trick by patent medicine ven
ders. As a result the depart
ment today issued a warning to
the public against placing cred
ence in advertisements, which
philanthropically offer to send
sufferers free prescriptions that
will prove panaceas for whatever
is ailing them. In each case the
department investigators discov
ered the principal ingredient of
the cure-all prescription was
some patient or proprietary drug
which if the compounder did not
have in stock he was compelled
to buy at considerable expense.
“The government cannot reach
these people under either the
food and drug act or the postal
laws,” the department adds,
“because the scheme is so plan
ned as to evade government
laws. The deception and mis
representation appears in adver
tisements, circulars, letters, etc ,
separate from the package and
the medicines are seldom sent
through the mails.
“The best the department can
do, therefore, is to warn the
people to be particularly suspi
cious of those who spend money
for advertising space, postage
and letter writing, seemingly
out of their love for humanity.
In all of these cases there is a
profit-making scheme back of the
seeming philanthrophy.”
Essay on Men.
The following composition on
men is credited to a little girl:
“Mon are what women mar
ry. They drink and smoke and
swear, but don’t go to church.
Perhaps if they wore bonnets
they would. They are more log
ical than women and also more
zoological. Both men and wo
men sprung from monkeys, but
the women sprung further than
the men.”

15c Cotton
There are many lies being told to bluff the farmer
out of his cotton and keep him from filling his contract
with this Corporation. This Corporation is for the pur
pose of getting for the farmer the worth of his cotton.
Who else is doing this? Don’t go for advice to men who
are fattening on you—use your own brains and get out of
bondage. We shall Get 15c Per Pound For Every Bale •'
Os Cotton Delivered To Us, and next year we shall be
in business to get it again for those who are with us this
year.
