Talks up the Town.
Editor Monitor:
1 appreciate the honor of call
ing Mt. Vernon my home. I was
on a train a few days ago and j
overheard this remark: "Mt. Ver
non is one of the best towns I ev- !
er-knew. You can go thereat
any time and every one seems to I
1)0 attending to his own affairs.”'
Every one that has ever had a
compliment fully realizes how I
felt so proud of my town.
Yes, he was right, this is a
good town, and every one attends
strictly to his own affairs, and
then, too, we have so many ad
vantages here to be proud of.
We have the best preparatory
school in the South. Three nice
churches, large, well behaved
and very attentive congregations.
Another and the best of all is the
people. You know the church,
town and everything else depend
on the people; and we sure can
boast on our local people.
We must always bear in mind
what it takes to make a good
town. It is education, refinement,
culture, religion, and law-abiding
citizens, and we sure have that
mixture here; and there is noth
ing to keep it from living up to
the reputation it bears far and
near, and that is "Mt. Vernon is
tar above the average town.”
We so often hear this remark and
we certainly must appreciate it.
They are not a people to make a
great demonstration over any
thing, being of Scotch descent,
that is not their way, but when
you sound them they are true
blue to the core. They have been
tried and are not found wanting.
In time of need and distress their
sympathy and help tire freely
given. We hope to accomplish
some good while here, and live
not our lives in vain, but
leave our footprints on the sands
of Mt. Vernon, and may the sweet
fragrance of a Christian life, full
of loving deeds for the Master,
cling close to the hearts of Mt.
Vernon people, and when our
work on earth is done, and we
reach the home not made with
hands, may we bo able to say,
"Lord. I am glad you let me
live, work and die among those
good people in dear old Mt. Ver
non." Resident.

Resolutions of Respect
On Death of Prof. Bacon.
(Passed by Orianna High
School Board and forwarded by
L. 0. Moseley.)
In a recent meeting of the
Board of Education of the Ori
anna High School, the following
resolutions were passed upon the
death of Prof. E. D. Bacon,
principal of the school:
Inasmuch as that grim monster,
death, has taken from our midst,
our dear friend and co-worker in
the interest of education, in the
person of Edmund David Bacon,
whose devotion to his duty, and
his friends endeared him to all,
be it therefore resolved:
Ist, That we bow in humble
i submission to the dispensation of
Divine Providence, and say as a
I school board of the Orianna High
School, of which he was our be
loved Principal.
"Lord thy will be done.”
2d, That we as a school board
and as individuals, ever cherish
his memory, and imitate his ex
ample of untiring energy and love
of all educational, and Christian
works, always lending a helping
hand and preferring others to
himself.
Jd. That we extend to his be
reaved family our most heartfelt
sympathy in this their great
sorrow, and pray God to lighten
their heavy burden, and impress
upon the Biblical truth: "He
doeth all things well for them
that love Him.”
4th, That a copy of this be re
corded in the minutes, sent to
the Dublin Courier-Herald, Mont
gomery Monitor and Americus
Times-Recorder, with a request
that they be published, also that
a copy be sent to the bereaved
family of the deceased.

It Paid Him to Marry.
The superintendent of a big
plant at Chatham, N. Y., had
been told to lay off all unmarried
men in order to reduce expenses.
Fred S. Wilber was not married,
but he intended to be very soon.
The date had been set, but it was
later than the date set for the
unmarried employes at the plant
to lose their jobs. So Wilber hun
ted up his bride-to-be and they
hunted up a parson and were wed.
Mrs. Wilbur presumably is a
"peace bride” whose wedding
at short notice may lie compart'd
to those of the "war brides” of

Recently a thing that was

make some drop forged steel i
shells for the British government. )
It was a fat job, worth about j
$450,000.
And the company turned it :
down!
"We are looking for business,” .
said Charles E. Bryson, president *
of the company, "but we don’t j
desire to make money from in- j
struments that are designed to j
slaughter people.”
As a practical peacemaker Mr. ;
Bryson sets a good example. War
has always been most encouraged
