Mount Vernon, Ga.. Thursday Morning, Feb. 18, 1915.
With a few more days of sun
shine, Georgia is liable to have
its face terribly scratched.
A mass meeting held ut Gallup,
N. M., last week ordered all ne
otoes to leave the town. Put
them in a gallop, so to speak.
liradstreet's Agency says we
r .• going to reduce our cotton
acreage cot. id> rably, and Brad
ht.reet’s itici all.\ keeps a keen
eye on everything.
Zapata’s forces have destroyed
the waterworks in Mexico City,
but they can drink pulque and
continue their bushwhacking un
til watermelon time.
The fellow who sold his cotton
seed for sl4 per ton, now that
they are bringing over S3O, ought
to get so thoroughly disgusted
with the cotton business as to
plant corn instead.
After all, we are much like a
drove of sheep. When oneshoep
jumps a log the balance of the
(lock want t<> follow him. Every
body in Georgia is singing the
praises of Moultrie’s packing
house.
ll you an not acquainted with
Miss Nancq Hall you surely an
on qwaking terms with Mr. Buck
Yam The; are both destined to
cut quite a figure in this little di
vei attention game now on the
hoards.
The record was broken last
v\erk at Newport News, Va.,
when eight vessels cleared with
l-.otto hor.es for England and
Franco. At this rate the auto
mobile manufacturers have noth
ing on horse raisers.
J. S. Shingler of Turner coun
ty cured Ma.OOO pounds of meat
this winter. He spent a few dol
lars for a brick and cement re
frigerator, w hich w as far less ex
-1 ensive than hauling spoiled meat
out into the woods.
Hog cholera has already set in
its spring ravages. Good time
for our farmers to make a test of
the serum cure. It is stated by
expert authority that 7,000,000
lags w ere lost by cholera in 1913.
I tetter to use the serum before
the hog is too far gone.
Hon. John T. Hoifeuillet, who

that with Hoifeuillet and Jot' Hill
Hall both out the thing couldn’t
be run at all.
With all ti.e cold weather we;
have had this winter, there are I

Savannah Press: —Belvidere,
N. J., is going to trying to feed
its prisoners for fifteen cents a
day. Evidently wishes to dis
courage people from going to
jail.
Dublin Courier-Herald:
Wouldn’t it be a good idea for
the Commissioners of Laurens
county to advertise for bids on
the foodstuffs and supplies they
have to buy for the use of the
county and let the contract to
Laurens county farmers or deal
ers? This plan is suggested by
President Haden of the Georgia
State Chamber of Commerce.
Monroe Advertiser: —’Tis said
there are 92,000,000 microbes on
every paper dollar. But they
can’t hang on to the smooth sides
of a much worn nickle, we’ru
j safe.
Atlanta Georgian: Georgia
has nothing much on Nevada in
the matter of divorce laws. All
one has do in either state is to
ask for the divorce wanted, and
then sit around and wait awhile
i —in Nevada, six months; in
■ Georgia, twelve.
Macon News:- The old fash
* ioned man who used to burn the
midnight oil over his accounts
now has a son who stays up with
the early morning electric lights
to burn the old man’s money.
Hartwell Sun:—A man living
in the state of Washington, sold
his wheat crop for something
over two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars the other day!
Wanted Some wheat to sow, at
once.
Pembroke Enterprise: We ad
vise the people of Bryan county
to raise hogs, and raise good ones.
Start with any breed you fancy,
but get good stock, and get a fly
ing start. Read farm papers,
take an interest in your pigs,
and above all, give the boy a
i pig and let him join a “pig club.”
* Then he will able to teach you to
feed properly if you don’t al
ready know how.
1 Lyons Progress:—Arizona is
having a hard time of it with a
session of the legislature and an
epidemic of smallpox on its hands
at the same time. It is hard to
tell which of the two is the worst.
Darien Gazette: —Every once
in a while we like to say a good
word about the corn boys because
they deserve all the praise that
can be bestowed upon them. And
besides, they should be encour
aged.

patrons of restaurants must bring
their bread with them, which in
itself is a significant war bulle

way use corn bread, Georgia
ground and Georgia made.
Albany Herald: —One o f the
good results certain to grow out
jof the changed agricultural con-;
ditions in the South, brought
about by the war in Europe, will

have made inquiry that the oat
acreage will be increased fully 100
per cent over 1914.
Butts County Progress:—The
Progress insists that this county

-5 ceived from the use of Thedford’s Black-Draught,” writes SI
Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky.
“It certainly has no equal for la grippe, bad colds,
5 liver and stomach troubles. 1 firmly believe Black-Draught jr
saved my little girl’s life. When she had the measles, , r S
they went in on her, but one good dose of Thedford’s
T* Black-Draught made them break out, and she has had no ®
j more trouble. 1 shall never be without

reliable, gentle and valuable remedy. G
