Montgornery r\or\itoir. 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. ■ TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTYTV• ► Gleanings From j t Wisdom’s Field. 5 ► 3 •AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 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 for officers in uniform. This would indicate that he is trying to start a September Morn ball room regime. Dublin Courier-Herald: —There is absolutely no telling what Dub lin and Laurens county can ac complish when they get together. Macon Telegraph:—An “All Mexican Products Day” would include a few revolutions for the heavy part and discriminating as sassination as a substitute for the 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 high cost of living. Lyons Progress:—Huerta says the Mexicans have never had a republican form of government. And they never will as long as Huerta and his hunch of cut throats hold the strings. Nashville Herald:— Governor Slaton visited the Coffee County Pair at Douglas yesterday and attended a reception in Waycross last night. Governor Jack is very popular in South Georgia. Waycross I lerald: —Georgia Products Day has another mark to its credit. It was successful in producing some wonderful ap petites. They are also of the Georgia variety. Valdosta Times:—Ex-President Taft delivered a very tine tribute to former President Grover Cleveland at the dedication of the Cleveland Memorial at Princeton the other day. Presi dent Taft can probably appreci ate. better than any other man, what Cleveland had to go up against. Darien Gazette: We want to see that seventeen year old Mor gan county boy farmer governor of Georgia some day— not for what he would do or for what he would promise to do, but for what he has already done. Rockmart News: Rockmart did not have a Georgia products j dinner Tuesday, but she will not l>e found lagging in the race of \ progress. It will be well that t hejpeople of the other parts of Georgia keep their eyes on Rock-i mart.

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.” E. M. RACK LEY Dentist Office over Mt. Vernon Drug Co. MT. VERNON. GA. VV. 15.
