Mount Vernon, Ga.. Thursday Morning, March, 11, 1915.
rublicity is a Rood thing, but
some folks don’t relish it.
The corn club boys are being
retarded in their work by the
continued cold weather. Hut you
need not give them out. The
corn will be forthcoming.
According to our exchanges the
boll weevil and the split log drag
are still coming. Our humble
opinion is that each will serve a
good purpose when it arrives.
With all due respect for our
new reserve banks, the real mas
ter of the situation is the man
with a smoke house full of meat
and several banks of old red
yams.
Stealing automobiles seems to
be as popular a pastime in our
neighboring town of Lyons as
stealing horses and cattle from
United States ranch owners in
Mexico.
South Georgia was in dead
earnest about that new federal
judgship. Judge W. W. Lambdin,
who was appointed to the place,
having been endorsed by over
two thousand people.
Substituting the electric chair
for the gallows in Georgia will
not make exeeutions popular.
Technicalities in our criminal
laws will continue to turn loose
criminals as long as they can
raise a little money.
If all the farm demonstrators,
agricultural exports, agricultural
exhibition trains and farm doc
tors would concentrate their
forces on the one idea of perma
nent soil fertility for a year we
would see the old machine get up
out of the ruts. It will never
come in this country without live
stock farming.
Now that tin* federal judgship
bill has passed and South Georgia
has a real federal judge in the
person of Judge W. W. Lambdin
of Waycross, we suppose those
who have clamored all these
years for one will be satisfied —
provided he can be induced to
live in Waycross, Valdosta and
Savannah at tin* same time.
It is always too late to lock up
a maniac after he has killed a
number of people. The awful
tragedy in Brunswick on Satur
day, in which seven people lost
their lives, with many others se
riously wounded, might have
been prevented if Phillips had
been jailed as soon as he began
to threaten the lives of citizens.
Savannah is about to secure
tlu> establishment of a large su
gar refinery, and all South Geor
gia should be proud of the fact.
There is enough land lying un
cleared and undrained in the
counties of Southeast Georgia
alone, which, if planted in sugar
cane, is capable of supplying the
raw material for running the re
finery the year round. And the
refinery will furnish a market for
a crop that will pay better than
cotton every year.
The IjiGrange Reporter is one
Georgia newspaper that is literal
ly living on lie fat of the land.
Just to make the unfortunate re
mainder of the gang hungry, the
Reporter publishes the list of
products received on subscrip
tion as, hens, turkeys, eggs, I
butter, hams, peas, apples, sweet
potatoes, artichokes, meal, peas,
hay. sausage, canned tomatoes,
pickled cucumbers, pickled peach- 1
es, preserved blackberries, dried
peaches, dried apples, axe hand
les, etc. •

We believe in looking on the
bright side of things and while it
may not have helped the appeal,
or lack of appeal, to the olfactory
n Tves, our hat is off to the op
timist who referred to the pole
cats as “sachet kittens. " Mon
roe Advertiser.
Brunswick Banner: Certain
obliging “experts" are charging
the high cost of flour to the war.
Certainly- of course—just so!
And this poor old war will be
scape-goat for every piece of
speculative skulduggery for the
next fifty years to come.
Perry Home Journal:—lf Geor
gia farmers throughout Georgia
act as those of Houston county
talk, the aggregate sales of guano
in the state will show more than
fifty per cent decrease this year.
Hartwell Sun: —A healine says
“W’oman’s Business is Man-Rais
ing.” They usually are pretty
adept in the art around here, es
pecially when the hubby comes
in about ’steen o'clock p. m., and
smelling like a sour apple.
Pembroke Enterprise:—The old
saying that the South is the home
of the “razor back" hog is not
true at all. The southern pork
raisers are getting into the habit
of grading up and we are now
raising hogs that will compare
very favorably with the western
states. Right here in Bryan
county we have some as fine hogs
as will be found in the country.
Adel News:—lf we are going
into the ship owning business it
appears to us that we ought to
build ships rather than buy
second hand vessels. We ought
to use material produced in
America and give American
working men the construction of
them. liOts of idle men would be
glad to get a job of any kind
now.
Nashville Herald:—The allied
fleet is smashing its way through
the Dardanelles to Constanti
nople. Poor old Turkey should
have staid out of this war.
| Laurens Citizen: President
Wilson has been signing appro
priation bills this week, the total
amount of which reached about
a billion dollars. It takes some
capital for Uncle Sam to do busi
ness on, as you will observe.
Macon Telegraph: —And while
this mess in Europe is going on
and nobody paying much atten
tion to the far East, Japan has
China in a lemon squeezer, and
is squeezing.
Greensboro Herald-Journal: —
Two women have started the
style of wearing stenciled coats,
and if these war-times stay with
us the men will have to stencil
pictures of clothes on themselves
or travel in barrels.
Darien Gazette: —Georgia food
stuflfs are going to be worth some
thing next fall and now is the
time to prepare for a good har
vest. The man who understands
the business should not remain
idle long.
Lyons Progress:—As a rule,
the class of people who are al
ways criticising the local news
paper are those that are the
slowest to pay for it and thus
help to make it what it should be.
Valdosta Times:— Another
South Georgia hog has been sold
in Illinois for $175. If those Illin
ois farmers keep on importing
blooded stock from South Geor
gia. they will get up a reputation
as a stock raising section before
long.

And For Three Summer* Mrs. Vin
cent Was Unable to Attend to
Any of Her Housework.
Pleasant Hill, N. C.—“l suffered for
three summers,” writes Mrs. Walter
Vincent, of this town, "and the third and
last time, was my worst.
1 had dreadful nervous headaches and
prostration, and was scarcely able to
walk about Could not do any of my
housework.
I also had dreadful pains in my back
and sides and when one of those weak,
sinking spells would come on me, 1
would have to give up and lie down,
until it wore off.
I was certainly in a dreadful state of
health, when I finally decided to try

Half Your Living
Without Money Cost
A right or wrong start In 1915 will
make or break most farmers in the
Cotton States. We are all facing a
crisis on cotton. Cotton credit is up
set. Tlie supply merchant cannot ad
vance supplies on 1915 cotton. You
must do your best to produce on your
own acres the food and grain supplies
that have made up most of your store
debt in the past.
A good piece of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay half your living It will
save you more money than you made
on the best five acres of cotton you
ever grew! But it must be a real
garden, and not the mere one-plant
ing patch in the spring and fan.
Hastings’ 1915 Seed Book tells all
about the right kind of a money-sav
ing garden and the vegetables to put
in it. It tells about the field crops
as well and shows you the clear road
to real farm prosperity, comfort and
independence. IT'S FREE. Send for
it today to H. G. HASTINGS & CO.,

Cardui is purely vegetable and gentle
acting. Its ingredients have a mild, tonic
effect, on the womanly constitution.
Cardui makes for increased strength,
improves the appetite, tones up the ner
vous system, and helps to make pale,
sallow cheeks, fresh and rosy.
Cardui has helped more than a million
weak women, during the past 50 years.
It will surely do for you. what it has
done for them. Try Cardui today.
