Editor »nd o»ncr. $• a Year, in Advance. KlvcrtinemcntH must invariably bo paid in advance, at the rate, and as the law directs; and must be in band not later than Wednesday morning of the first week or insertion Mount Vernon, Ga.. Thursday Morning, Jan. 29, 1914. The average country newspa per will not do much business with the regional hanks. Hut we would like to see Savannah get one. Indications are that the cotton acreage will be much larger this year. An enormous crop will mean enormously low prices next fall. The advice of the old-time philosopher, “put all your eggs in one basket and then watch the basket,” was all right before boll weevil days. A late news item states that Uncle Sam is about to stop a rev olution in Haiti, but does not say whether Mexican methods are to be used or not. Macon and Atlanta are getting quite chummy on that regional bank proposition, and they may kiss and make up on the capital removal matter. Whatever the outcome of the Speer impeachment proceedings, the public have had some infor mation on the high cost of living in bankruptcy. The boll weevil is getting un comfortably near to us. But with Georgia’s varied crops and extensive resources we do not look upon the pest with so much horror. The Georgia boy who can tango down a cotton row behind a mule is worth more than a whole barn full of society dudes who loaf around the towns and live on their parents.—Lyons Progress. Bandits who hold up trains and rob passengers and desperate negroes who shoot down town marshals are getting distressing ly common. A rigid enforcement of the vagrancy laws might pre vent some of these outrages. Despise not the combined re sults of small things. A good oat crop, a large crop of peanuts, peas and potatoes may save some small planter from figuring in a sheriff's sale next winter when his cotton fails to pay him out. The Darien Gazette is happy in anticipation of the early com pletion of the extension of the Georgia Coast and Piedmont road over to Brunswick. When oysters get scarce around Darien Brother Grubb can hop over to Brunswick and pick up a few along the “marshes o’ Glynn.” In establishing “black-eye pea day” Hon. Jim Price may stimu late the production of a valuable crop. But it strikes us that our efficient and progressive Com missioner of Agriculture ought to have waited until after plant ing time, for there is not enough seed in this section to plant a crop. The statement by a Georgia newspaper that “the greatest drawback to raising corn in Georgia is that there is no mar ket for it,” is very transparent, to say the least of it. The thous ands of dollars sent out of the state by almost every county for corn would be a sufficient answer to such a statement. The meeting of the State Chamber of Commerce in Macon today and tomorrow will be at tended by progressive men from all over Georgia. Montgomery county may not bo represented for lack of a local chamber here. The work undertaken is on a large scale, and much good to the state must result. ► Gleanings From \ t Wisdom’s Field, 2 «AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Greensboro Herald-Journal: — Records show that a hen in an Oregon agricultural college laid 282 eggs in a year. We’ll bet three cents that hen wasn’t fool ing away her time with football and kindred sports. Dublin —Pub lic schools have begun to think about advertising. The Philadel phia hoard of education has rec ommended that advertising be done as a means to filling the school rooms. Advertising is a good tonic for anything under the sun. Macon Telegraph:—The man agers of the Georgia State Fair are already busy arranging spec ial prizes for Georgia-raised pro ducts. This is a great work and the prizes offered are a powerful incentive to the younger genera tion of farmers to increase the productiveness of their land. Early County News:—Abra ham Lincoln never said, “Hello, Central,” never dodged an auto mobile, never held a strap in a trolley car, never pushed a but ton for a light, never heard a phonograph and never posed for a motion picture, and yet Abra ham Lincoln died only forty eight years ago. Savannah Press:—A New York man who taught negroes by mail how to become Pullman porters made SIO,OOO in six months. He had the right tip at least. Atlanta Journal:—Japan is growling again, but Wilson will probably bring her round to the realization that he is something of a diplomat. Hawkinsville Dispatch-News: Atlanta and Savannah are both making a strong fight for a re gional bank. But granting other things to be equal, Atlanta has the best chance to get it because she has the enthusiastic support of Senator Hoke Smith, whom it is understood wields a powerful influence in governmental atfairs. Clinch Co. News:- It might be interesting to some of the hard time-howlers to know that 494 new banks were established in 11 Southern states last year. 24 of these are in Georgia. Not a bank has gone to the wall in Georgia in over six months, and there is more money in the South now than ever before. Does that look panicky? Waycross Herald:—News from the east is to the effect that Ja pan is not satisfied with the an swer the United States has made to it. That being true, might we inquire what Japan proposes to do about it? LaGrange Reporter:—We would recommend to every farm er that he get in every day of plowing that the weather and condition of the soil permits dur ing the next few weeks. Albany Herald: —Ex-President Taft is said to have thirty-five pairs of trousers. Think of the cloth it took to make them! No wonder the price of woolens has been high. Butts County Progress:—The attendance at the State Agricul tural College in Athens is the largest ever recorded. Which shows that there is all the time more interest being taken in scientific agriculture. Douglas County Sentinel:— Anyway, those Navajo Indians were not as bad as they might have been. They didn’t dance the tango. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOP—THURSDAY JAN 29 1 i Murderer Hanged In Dublin Jail. Dublin, Ga., Jan. 24.—Lewis Davis, a negro, died on the gal lows here this afternoon for mur dering his wife at her home near Brewton, this county, nine years ago. He confessed last night to a negro preacher, that he shot at his wife with the intention of killing her and did not kill her while shooting at some one else, as he had contended at first. The trap was sprung at 12:o4 p. m. and two minutes later physicians pronounced him dead. His neck was not. broken but death came by strangulation* Davis was calm and composed to the last and made no state ment to the few people whoweie allowed inside the jail to see the execution. He stated that he was perfectly ready to go and had made his peace with God. Davis killed his wife about nine years ago after they had been separated for some time.

The Chicago Record-Herald tells of this conversation of a couple of newly-weds: “My dear, you are very prec ious to me.” “I’m so glad, honey, that you still love me. Do you know, 1 have sometimes been afraid I might be a burden to you—that I was not worth all I have cost you.” “Never let such a thought as that bother you again, little girl. You are worth far more than you have ever cost me. You are worth your weight in strictly fresh eggs.” “There! Now you are exag gerating again, and you know how I hate exaggeration.” Sturdy Oak Has Fallen. In the death of Hon. Charles R. Pendleton, editor of the Ma con Telegraph, which occurred in that city on Saturday morning last, American journalism lost one of its strongest and brightest intellects, and Southern senti ment and Georgia citizenship their purest and best defender. Verily a great and sturdy oak has fallen in the forest, the influence of whose protecting boughs will live long after its body has been | absorbed by the earth from which jit came. —Eastman Times-Jour- I nal. - I •<§> li lL W if. -.MS | 9 fur Fi i —Wild F I*r i ~.. t. i> | C»ur %r :r.r !?• s ~-..uge 1 I vj.'Vld'.O; tev V #Tlv Price % r e £27.50 | / I f J • :4 “20 Gauge From Front Sight to J I See Your Dealer STEVENS 20 Gauge Repealer §1 |J.
