Mount Vernon, Ga*. Thursday Morning, April 2,1914.
Yes, Burns is satisfied with the
I’hagan case. Ihe question is, <
how many thousand did it take?
Taliaferro county colored farm
ers are organizing corn clubs.
They will beat fo’ day clubs all
to smash and are safe r.
From the political forecast, it
would seem that the Georgia pol-;
itician has something ahead of
him besides the digging of fish
bait.
Mixed in with the great wagon 1
trains of guano sacks, we oc
casionally see a sack of seed pea
nuts. Better stick to the three
p’s—peanuts peas and prosperity.
If Tl'lsop of old could perambu- 1
late through this country in this
day and time, he would pull out
all his hair when reading some
of the fables used by Georgia
politicians.
The boll weevil feedeth on the
young cotton bolls and they
wither and fall to the ground and j
decay. The politician feedeth on
the ignorance and prejudice of i
the voter and rideth into office
forthwith.
The son-of-a-gun with an axe
to grind will soon be packing his
grip to drop in on the Georgia
legislature arid put in his efforts
to clog all legislation that can
possibly become an uplift to the
whole people of the state.
People of Montgomery county
could more easily, become inter
ested in irrigation schemes than
drainage methods. But the
National Drainage Congress, to
meet in Savannah on April 22-25,
means much for South Georgia.
There is nothing altruistic or
poetic in the tap, tap, tap of the
guano distributor all over the
fields of Montgomery county to
day; but nothing on the spring
air is more convincing that, spring
has come. (Gentle Annie will
please excuse us.)
Montgomery County teachers
are getting down to things prac
tical. In the contest to be held
here on April Isth, the girls are
to enter the lists for cooking
bread, bacon, rice, hominy and
biscuit, to say nothing of making
aprons, dresses and shirts and
darning socks.
The first annual convention of
the County Commissioners ofj
Georgia, to be held in Atlanta on |
the 15th and lfith of this month, j
promises to be an interesting and I
profitable occasion profitable
alike to the members and the
state. Nothing like co-operation
for finding out what is best for
all the counties in the state.
If you want to exercise the
right of suffrage in the next pri
mary, you must register before
the list closes on the 7th. Only
five more days, and one of these
the Sabbath, in which you ma>
qualify as a voter to express
your choice in the next election.
Got ready to exercise the right
of choice between candidates and
principles.
Give us education, great ship
loads of it. Ignorance is not
bliss in this country, it is blister.
The man who would see Mont
gomery county prosper and spread
out like a green bay tree, in edu
cation, religion, social better
ment and progress towards the
best in life, meets with the
blighting effect of narrow-mind
ed superstition and dogged in
difference at every turn of the
road.

Clinch Co. News:—The suf
fragettes are championing the |
'cause of Leo Frank. But then, i
vv( suppose they have as much
j right to as the Atlanta preach
ers. Barrels of money are being j
I deposited in Atlanta banks to
; help the Jew’s case.
Cordele Dispatch: —We must
build uj» hope at every point and
one of the best ways to establish
confidence and give greater hope,
f >r law, order, prosperity moral
ity and happiness of our people!
is to see that the very best men |
are put in office.
Darien Gazette: —Just about
the time you feel confident that
the rascal is on the way to the
jope or the penitentiary, why old
Technicality comes to the front
and saves him. How long, oh,
how long, is this thing to con
; tinue?
Americas Times-Recorder:—
According to a modernist in art
pay colors bring joy to the home;
perhaps she’s never seen the old
man try to get into one of those
red flannel undershirts after the
second washing.
Pembroke Enterprise;—Burns
ha solved the Phagan mystery
at least six times since his ar
rival in Atlanta. We have de
c: led that the case really is sur
rounded with mystery.
Atlanta Journal: Miss Geral
dine Farrar has been offered $75,-
000 to sing ten weeks in Vaude
ville, and, income taxor no in
come tax, we believe we would
be tempted to accept.
I ,yons Progress:—Gov. Slaton’s
iohn Lind attitude anent the sen
atorial situation is perplexing to
his friends and worrisome to his j
enemies who are pleading fori
peace.
Greensboro Herald-Journal:—
Three million dollars a day to run
the government and Sunday not
omitted. If somebody don’t
head us off where on earth will
we land?
Valdosta Times:—Another evi-j
deuce today of the efficiency of
our fire department. The fires!
that have the nerve to start getj
scared and go out as soon as the
bell rings. They know that there
is no hope in Valdosta.
Perry Home-Journal:—Hon. T. |
JS. Felder claims to be a south
, Georgia candidate, and thous
ands of Georgians throughout the
stale cordially concede the claim.
When he officially becomes a
member of the U. S. Senate, he
will be Senator Felder, from the
entire state of Georgia.
Monroe Advertiser:—Forsyth
has merchants who advertise in
their home paper every week in
' the year, and if you’ll stop and
reflect you’ll find that these are
the merchants who are prosper

this, then, for those who do not
believe that it pays to advertise.
Just try it and see.

Fern, hay and oats are expected;

HUSBAND RESCUED
DESPAIRING WIFE
After Four Years of Discouraging
Conditions, Mrs. Bullock Gave
Up in Despair. Husband
Came to Rescue.
Catron, Ky.—ln an interesting letter
from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock
writes as follows: “1 suffered for four
years, with womanly troubles, and during
this time, I could only sit up for a little
while, and could not walk anywhere at
all. At times, 1 would have severe pains
in my left side.
The doctor was called in, and his treat
ment relieved me for a while, but 1 was
soon confined to my bed again. After
that, nothing seemed to do me any good.
Come, Dollar!
1 had gotten so weak I could not stand,
and I gave up in despair.
At last, my husband got me a bottle of
Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and 1 com
menced taking it. From the very first
dose, I could tell it was helping me. I
can now walk two miles without its
tiring me, and am doing all my work.”
If you are all run down from womanly
troubles, don’t give up in despair. Try
- Cardui, the woman’s tonic. It has helped
, more than a million women, in its 50
[ years of continuous success, and should
i surely help you, too. Your druggist has
sold Cardui for years. He knows what
it will do. Ask him. He will recom
; mend it Begin taking Cardui today.
