f®ontoommf VOL. XXVIII. To Monitor Subscribers: Eleven years ago The Montgomery Monitor was re-established and put on a business basis, and since that time it has been recog nized as one of the best weekly publications in Georgia. To put the business in its present excellent condition, it has meant the outlay of both money and hara and trying labor—plenty of it—and the merit of the paper is fully recognized by the public. But in supposing that the paper should be printed and sent out FREE, many of our patrons are in error—in fact, hundreds of them refuse to pay the debts they contract with the paper, and, as a common result, we have, during the past few years, thrown away several thousand dollars in a vain effort to please an ungrateful and ever-grasping element. This plan is very unsatisfactory. Therefoi’e, in order to put a check on the constant drain on our pocket-book, and withdraw the unwarranted and unappreciated outlay on our part, we have decided to put the subscription on a CASH BASIS, TO ALL alike. This rule effective Jan. 1, 1914. In order to save annoyance, make settlement before January Ist. Before this date our books will be revised, and all names in arrears will be dropped from the roll, and no new names placed on the books except upon payment in advance, whether it be 25 cents, 50 cents or SI.OO. Under this plan those who are benefited by our money and labor will be contributing toward the support of the paper, from which they will receive full value. If you owe the paper, send in the money at once. If you want it sent to you regularly —and every family in the county should have it—send in the price AT ONCE. It shall no longer be sent out onlthe credit or graft plan. To those of our patrons who ap preciate and pay for our efforts, we offer our thanks; to those who are indebted to us, we respectfully ask a settlement—AT ONCE. Trusting that all will understand the above rule, and lend their co-operation toward the further upbuilding of the paper, we are Very truly, The Montgomery Monitor, Dec. 15, 1913. Mt. Vernon, Ga. The Magic of The Sea. The banality of a certain sea poem, reports the New York Tribune, led a rival poet to say, “This poem of the sea reminds me of a young woman from Illi nois who saw the Atlantic for the first time last week at Cape May. “As she stood on the windy beach, gazing dreamily out over the vast blue expanse of tumbling water, I said to her; “ ‘So this is the first time you’ve ever seen the sea, eh?’ “ ‘Yes, the very first time,’ she answered. “‘And what do you think of it?’ I asked. “ ‘Ah,’ she said, with an ec static smile, ‘it smells just like oysters!’ ” A Model Child. George 111 was such a thrifty king that we cannot doubt that he hugged the little chap, of whom Thackeray tells this de lightful story, and longed to knight him on the spot. One day, when the king and queen were walking together, probably at Kew, they met a lit tle boy,—they were always fond of children, the good folks,—and patted the little tow head. “Whose little boy are you?” asked the king. “I am the king’s beef-eater’s little boy,” replied the child. On which the king' said, “Then kneel down and kiss the queen’s hand.” But the innocent offspring of. the beef-eater declined this treat. “No, ” said he, “I won’t kneel, for if I do, I shall spoil my new breeches.” jT\ EPOSITS INSURED 1 i Against Loss o®©® . * | ©’©@o No Matter from What Source it May Come !! ©o®® ; We are constantly adding new accounts, and our business is increasing ;j ; i at a very satisfactory rate.

Caught by both arms in his own bear trap while on a hunting trip in the mountains near Em fudo, New Mexico, Henry Sever son, formerly of Denver, Colo., fought against death by starva tion and thirst of wild animals for several days before he finally succumbed. News of the finding of his body, torn into shreds by the claws of mountain lions and wild cats, has just been received in Denver by friends. His identifi cation is made complete by pa pers found in a pocket of his coat. Severson was wealthy and had many friends in Denver. A few days ago a party of hunters stumbled across his body, stripped of flesh and lying in the snow. Half Done. This one is told of a very young married woman whose very new home is in Cleveland, says the Plain Dealer, and who is bravely endeavoring to get along without a maid. When her very young husband came home for dinner the other night, he found his bride flnshed but triumphant. And when they were seated at the table, she could hardly wait i to say: “How do you like your meat, dear? Don’t you think I have begun pretty well as a cook? And he answered: “Yes, darling. If there’s any thing in the old saying that ‘well begun is half done,’ you have certainly begun well on this I steak.” j It started their first quarrel. MT. VERNON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, DEC. 25, 1913.
