Le«ftl advertiafineuts must invariably be paid in advance, at the legal rate, and aa the law directs; and must be in hand not later than Wednesday morning of the first week of insertion Mount Vernon, Ga.. Thursday Morning, Dec. 18, 1913. It is sad to reflect that, in the rush of the happy Yuletide next week, there should be a single empty stocking. We will have to hustle if we surpass in 1914 the accomplish ments of the year now closing. But we can hustle. We will hail it as a sign of pro gress if in this country drunken ness and insane debauchery do not desecrate next week the day of all days that should be kept sacred. (’hristmas presents to a country newspaper are always in good order and correct form. As to size, anything from an automo bile to a three-cornered hen egg will do. The happiest boys in Georgia today are members of the corn clubs. They have profited by clean and healthful work, and have advertised their native state to an applauding an appreciative world. The man who quietly figures on the losses caused by his mis takes in the past year will ac complish ' much more than the fellow who publishes his new year resolutions and makes a big noise annually. The women and the hens have both got into congress. The suf fragettes are demanding recog nition by the president, and a pe tition from 100,000 of the Fede:- ation of Woman’s Clubs will be presented soon on the egg ques tion. If the well organized and suc cessful banks of Montgomery county would take up the matter of advances for live stock raising they would be doing a grand work, and the security for such advances would be quite as safe as advances on cotton. Among the many wonderful achievements of Georgia in 1914, nothing has been more conducive to the peace and good order of the old state than the final quietus put upon the Longstreet- Tallulah Falls war by the state supreme court last week. As Mrs. Wilson is a direct de scendant of the old Midway stock, it is hoped that the com mittee to call on President Wilson this week may induce him to visit Georgia when the monument to Gens. Screven and Stewart is unveiled next spring at old Mid way. If you want an example of what sentiment and curiosity will do, read the accounts of the ex hibition of the “Mona Lisa,” the painting stolen from Paris some months ago and found last week in Italy. Fighting mobs of thousands press together for a single glimpse of the painting. For eleven years we have preached to the people of Mont gomery county the doctrine of co-operation. But the cry of the children sitting in the market place, "we have piped unto you and you have not danced” is about all we can remind them of in the close of this vear 1913. We know that our theory is safe and sane, and that if our people had resolved to cling together and combined their efforts on all public lines and fanning opera tions that this old county would be a veritable paradise today; and one to which we could invite with open arms the home-seeker and the hordes marching towards a betterment of their conditions. ▼vvtvtvvttvwtvvttttytttv • E (j loppings From 3 S Wisdom’s Field. 3 ► < •AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Perry Home Journal: —The Georgia Tax equalization law is not designed especially to increase the valuation of taxable property, hut to equalize the valuation. It is also intended that property heretofore escaping taxation should be discovered and taxed. The law is specifically after the dodgers, be their method what it may. Dublin Courier-Herald. —How would you like to receive about eleven pounds of nice back-bone by parcel post? Country sub scribers please take notice. Lyons Progress:—As a death dealer it is hard to tell which is the most successful, the automo bile, the flying machine, the hip pocket arsenal or the “gun that wasn’t loaded.” Monroe Advertiser:—And just to think! Here Woodrow Wilson has been President for eight months aud the panics predicted by the rampant Republicans have failed to materialize. Isn’t it terrible that the country just will not panic when the Republicans want it to? Nashville Herald: —Several of the boys are limping around with an ingrowing desire to run for office. Wait till the new year r ills in, boys. Waycross Herald:—The travel ing men clammored loudly for the convenience of “pulling” mileage on the trains. Now they will be made to pay for their con venience. Atlanta Constitution: —At the border they can’t tell whether it is the noise of the fighting or people cheering Huerta in order to sidestep a firing squad.

Darien Gazette:—We are glad to observe that in every section of the state orders are being is sued to officers to see to it that the people have a safe and sane Christmas. If you are determin ed to get drunk and lie a nuisance why step down to Mexico where you can enjoy plenty of excite ment. Greensboro Herald-Journal:— Whenever a United States senator thinks he’s losing his grip on the people, he immediately intro duces some kind of a fool bill to benefit the dear farmer. A t lan ta Georgian :—Zapata, Mexican patriot and thirster for liberty and glory, was a fancier of chicken tights, a well-known sport. He did not get his start by starting any Declaration of Independence. He got it by “roping a mule.” Savannah Press:—The state game warden of Michigan wants hunters prevented by law from carrying whisky on hunting trips with them. He wants them to know which bird they are shoot ing at. Senoia Enterprise-Gazette:— Members of the suffrage conven tion in Washington say: “We no longer bog for the ballot, we de mand it."
