Mount Vernon. Ga.. Thursday Morning, Feb. 25, 1915.
Before you can scarcely realize
that winter is gone, somebody
will be telling us what great
times await the interior hoosiers
in the salt water washings at
Tybee.
The Perry Home Journal
preaches a sermon in three lines
when it says: “Georgia products
for Georgia people will inevitably
promote health, happiness and
prosperity."
Every mail brings the refresh
ing information that prosperity
is right at the door. It really
seems that the only trouble is to
find a fellow who will rush up
and kick down the door.
The farmers of this section may
be sawing wood. Certain it is
that they are not talking mules
and cotton. The guano men have
figuratively turned to clams.
Hog and hominy is surely being
forced to the front.
As evidence of the homage
paid to greatness, there are
thousands of good people in this
country whose heads might be
cut oil and not furnish half the
copy for newspapers as has the
sawing off us Sarah Bernhardt’s
leg.
Kvory enterprise that has a
regular pay day is a help to the
community, whether one dollar
or ten thousand dollars is paid
out. The town or city without
such enterprises does not grow.
It pays to foster the small fac
tory.
Some writer is laboring to
prove that Germany will be big
ger and better when the war is
over. A lot of folks on this side
have the idea that all this late
rumpus is kicked up because
Germany is already too big for its
breeches.
We still have great faith in
President Wilson’s policy of keep
ing cool. Our ships go into the
vvai zone with a full understand
ing that the waters are planted
in mines. If one is blown to
atoms occasionally, the adminis
tration cannot be blamed.
The Atlanta Constitution of
Sunday publishes a story of the!
active operation of gold mines*
around Dahloncga. We have no
gold mines in South Georgia,
but the clearances from our pota
to banks about a year from now
will show some fine figufers.
The great honor paid to the
memory of Washington this
week speaks well for the patriot
ism of our people. But it is
quite evident that George had
no such task, as that which falls
to the lot of one who does the
fathering act for us in these
perilous times.
It is a fact noted by every one
that hump cotton crops follow
early and bumper starts by our
farmers in the spring. We are
I . hind over a month in prepara
tion, and the cotton crop this
j ear must b»> small. Nature of !
ten does for i:s what we refuse
to do for ourselves.
It is claimed that winter rains
and snows have put the soil of!
North Carolina in such tine con
dition that the farmers can dis-
I nse with commercial fertilizers!
that have been costing them sls
per acre. We have had the rain
if we are short the snow, but
every ton of the stutT not used
this season will lx* that much the
farmer w ill not be* pressed for
next fall. 1

E Gleanings From J
► Wisdom’s Field. J
£ *
•AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Atlanta Georgian: —Mere learn
ing is far from wisdom. It does
not necessarily indicate ability.
And it is ability that counts in
the fight for existence that every
human being ought to make.
You can stuff a boy with Latin
and Greek in a college—he can
take all the prizes for languages
and still be a cumberer of the
earth when his course is finished.
Macon News:—lf the Kaiser’s
army continues to take prisoners
at the rate of sixty-four thous
and a battle, it will be necessary
for some of the Germans back
home to move out of the country
and give the Russians room.
Hawkinsville I)ispatch-News:—
Supply merchants say there is
very little demand for meat, corn,
oats and hay, and they regard
this as an indication that the far
mers raised a great deal more of
these things last year than they
have for the past seyeral years.
Lyons Progress: —The papers
daily chronicle the arrival of
registered beef type bulls for
farmers all over Georgia. Thus,
Georgia marches on towards
progress as a result of war and
low cotton.
Savannah Press: —One of the
evil results of fame is found in
the fact that a fellow congress
man is writing poetry about Char
ley Crisp of Georgia.
Greensboro Herald-Journal:
Woodrow had better let the con
gressmen have a little time out
for patching purposes. A great
deal of explaining is to be made.
Monroe Advertiser: --Our
young friend, Lucretia, can’t un
derstand why it is that in this
country they hang men for kill
ing other men. and yet, in Ger
many they shoot men if they are
not willing to go out and murder
other men.
Darien Gazette:—There are a
lot of suckers in this country and
it looks as if they were never hap
pier than when being deceived by
the small politicians.
Valdosta Times:—lf the money
that is spent every year in Geor
gia for patch-work on the public
roads were put in permanent
highways, it wouldn’t be many
years before Georgia would have
roads that would last for ages.
Dublin Courier-Herald:—There
are lots of folks now who will
tell you, suice flour has gone up
so high, that they always did
like that good, old, substantial
corn bread, anyhow.
Hartwell Sun:—We don’t mean
anything by it. but you know a
few decent buiials are a good
thing for any town;especially so,
when you want some municipal
improvements.
Savannah News:—lt will not
be surprising if it is found that
A. D. Oliver, the “banker of Cli
max,” left no estate. His princi
pal assets, among which were
his tongue and his shrewd brain,
are worth nothing now.
Atlanta Constitution: — And
mmy eloquent politic ; ans will
celebrate Washington’s birthday,
unsuspected of having little
hatchets up their sleeves.
Moultrie Observer:—A man
does not have to quit cotton to
raise hogs. The Colquitt county
farmer who has sold the largest
number of hogs this season made
two hundred and fifty bales of
cotton last year.
THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY KKB .5 1.15.
How the Game Law
Works out in Texas.
I would like to see every shot
gun taxed so high that no one
, could use them. I have my land
all fenced and posted, but hun
ters go over the fence wherever
they they feel like it. I have had
a fine steer badly shot, and I
think these hunters are a nui
sance. Birds of all kinds are
friends of the farmers, as they
destroy worlds of insects, hut the
town hunter cares nothing about
that. —E. It. Taylor, Harris Co.,

saved my little girl’s life. When she had the me .odes,
they went in on her, but one good dose of Thedford’s ]
Black-Draught made them break out, and she has had no
more trouble. 1 shall never be without
