dive the European war credit
f >r being the greatest of all farm
demonstrators.
It is to be regretted that every
teacher in Montgomery county
cannot attend every meeting of
tl. • monthly meetings held here.
A tociafion for mutual benefit is
a great uplift.
With 200 hoys in the corn club
and a packing plant that is at
tracting ..ttention all over the
South, Colquitt county is putting
on some airs, and getting the
biggest slice of advertising now
going.
An eloquent Savannah minister
took for his subject Sunday night
“From the Hog Pen to the Man
sion.” Hundreds of Georgia
people are busy getting the hog
ready to take the trip next winter
at about fifteen cents per pound.
Lincoln Heat-hoy, aviator, giv
ing an exhibition flight at the
Panama-Pacific exposition on
Sunday, fell 7,000 feet to his
death in San Francisco Hay. He
had boasted before that twenty
million people had seen him (ly.
Such is fame.
In the past few weeks the pa
pers have chronicled the death
of many of Georgia’s saintly old
women, ranging in age from 70
to 90 years. The records do not
show that a single one of them
ever shufik-d a deck of cards or
kicked up her heels in a tango or
turkey-trot.
Governor-elect Harris will at
tend the Confederate reunion in
Richmond, Va., in June and sev
eral veterans will go along with
his party. The old boys will
doubtless have a grand time, and
the old s'tigan of the troublous
days, “On to Richmond,” will be
brought vividly back to memory.
When Congress and the Geor
gia legislature do their best for
the farmer be will still find that
he must depend upon his own
Lain and muscle for paying re
sults. There are thousands of
men in this country who do not
succeed because they spend more
thought on avocations not their
own.
A Chinese maid named Yooh
N’goo Tsoheng Wu, known in
plain English as "Lady of the
Moon,” and Timothy Ting Fang
Lew. probably meaning the
“Gentleman from Mars,” both
having originally resided in and
around Atlanta, were married in
New York recently. It is but
reasonable to suppose that the
sun ami seven stars will be rep
resented I ‘er in the family.
We publish from time to time
suggestions as to saving meat,
because we know this is a matter]
of great importance. With all
the cold weather of the past win
ter. considerable meat spoiled in;
this section. When a few dollars!
spent for material to construct a
farm refrigerator and buy a block j
or two of ice would prevent this >
great loss, it really looks like our
people would see the economy of 1
being independent of changes in
the temperature.
•
A far greater amount of vege
tables. that annually go to waste
in this country, would be put up
for home use if it were not for
the idea that eur people have that
the process is one of mystery and
very expensive. As a matter of
fact the canning process is a very
simple one, and canning outfits
may bo had for almost nothing.
You should write the state de
partment of Agriculture. Atlanta,
or the federal department at
Washington for free bulletins on
canning. i

► Gleanings From 3
£ Wisdom’s Field. 3
Hrunswick lianner: —Needn’t
be chuckling just because Con
gress has adjourned. We will
soon have the state legislature.
Lyons Progress:—We have of
ten wondered why some fertilizer
factory in Georgia has not bought
that stretch of sand ridge on the
least side of the Ohoopee river.
There’s enough sand there to run
any featilizer factory in Georgia
until Gabriel blows his horn.
Atlanta Journal:—Even the
Republicans have to admit that
the present administration is the
best that could be on the iob just
now.
Pembroke Enterprise:— See
here, Mr. Farmer, keep cotton
out of the ground this year.
Plant something you can eat and
he sure to have hogs to make
your meat and lard. This is on
ly advice, but sometimes it pays
to take advice.
Valdosta Times: —There will
come a time when the nation that
goes to war will be arrested for
disorderly conduct by the inter
national police.
Adel News:—Today it is said
the allies are winning “on land
and sea.” But tomorrow the
dispatches may say that Germany
and Austria are winning on
“earth and in the sky.”
Savannah Press:—The chief of
stall' of the army has left Wash
ington to go to Utah to talk to
the unfriendly Indians. He leaves
the headquarters of the pie hun
ters to talk to the head of the
Piutes.
Darien Gazette:—An effort is
being made in the legislature to
bring on the inauguration of the
governor soon after his election.
This matter, of course, will have
to be endorsed by the small poli
ticians.
Laurens Citizen:-The demo
crats are only following a pre
cident inaugurated by the re
publicans in appropriating a
billion dollars each year. It is
therefore unbecoming the repub
licans to kick about it.
Claxton Enterprise:—Now that
the farmers of the county have
organized a farmers’ club, let us
folks of Claxton get together and
organize a board of trade.
Atlanta Constitution:—Mr. Mc-
Adoo’s appendix has been re
moved. Some of his admirers
claim he performed the same op
eration on Wall street when he
engineered the new currency
system.
Swainsboro Forest-B 1a d e:—
More politics are being talked
around town than you can shake
a stick at. If all run who are
talking about it there will be a
crowd in the running. Let the
good work go on.
Tattnall Journal:—There are
more members in the pig club of
Tattnall county this year than
ever before. All are buying reg
istered stock and it would ap
pear that an era of live-stock
raising is about to dawn for our
people.
Savannah News;—Some per
sons are in the habit of seeing
politics in everything Secretary
McAdoo does. Will they think '
he had his appendix removed;
merely to catch the vote of that
big army of Americans who have
lost their appendices?
Greensboro Herald-Journal:—;
Love thy neighbor as thy self,
but pick your neighbor—and be
isure she isn’t a widow.

vices from this place, Mr. A. J. Hughes
writes as follows: “1 was down with
stomach trouble for five (5) years, and
would have sick headache so bad, at
times, that I thought surely 1 would die.
1 tried different treatments, but they
did not seem to do me any good.
I got so bad, I could not eat or sleep,
and all my friends, except one, thought I
would die. He advised me to try
Tbediord's Black-Draught, and quit

any confidence in it.
I have now been taking Black-Draught
for three months, and it has cured me—
haven't had those awful sick headaches
since I began using it.
I am so thankful for what Black-
Draught has done for me.’’
Thedford’s Black-Draught has been
found a very valuable medicine for de
rangements of the stomach and liver. It
is composed of pure, vegetable herbs,
contains no dangerous ingredients, and
acts gently, yet surely. It can be freely
used by young and old, and should be
kept in every family chest
