Mount Vernon, Ga.. Thursday Morning, July 8, 1016.
Gov. Harris says we must keep
sober. And we must.
From the trenches the cry goes
up, “On to Eastman!”
The peavine hay season is al
most upon us. Don’t neglect the
South’s great forage crop.
The submarine part of the Eu
ropean war seems to be the only
real live proposition about it.
Some good measures have been
proposed in the legislature, hut
Ihe annual choking of foolish
thorns and thistles will prevent
the passage of many of them.
The grandest sight in Georgia
today is that of thousands of
acres of green cornfields waving
in the sunlight, a harbinger of
better times arid agricultural in
dependence.
We think the <leneral Assembly
now in session is made up of a
lot of good fellows. But the old
game of “you tickle me and I’ll
tickle you” will he just ns popu
lar as in preceding sessions.
That is a good one Editor
Moore of the Pembroke Enter
prise gets olf on old Montgomery
as the “shoe string county.” We
propose to bo tied in a double
how knot before any more cut
ting is done.
The most remarkable food
, plant grown on Georgia soil is
the sweet potato. An armful of
vini s, a three foot stick and a
little patch of ground will pro
duce a life sustaining crop at less
expense than any combination
known to agriculture.
Already the belligerent nations
of Europe are figuring on the
next winter campaign. Our peo
ple had just as well get ready
lor living at home on this side
the water. More wheat, less cot
ton; more feed, more cattle and
more prosperous farmers.
We look forward to the meet
ing of the Georgia Weekly Press
Association at Eastman on Mon
day evening next with the
brightest anticipations of meet
ingold friends again. Eastman
and Mcßae (side trip) will be on
their p’s and q’s, and everybody
will be happy.
The attempt lust Saturday to
assassinate ,1. P. Morgan, Jr., of
New York, calls to mind the fact
that anarchistic maniacs always
make their attempts on the rich
or those high up in office. Along
with their insanity the fact shows
up that envy and greed are at the
bottom of their madness.
We hope tin agitation of the
jury commissioners matter in the
General Assembly will result in
some needed reform along that
line. If the amount of trickery
and political scheming practiced
along that line in Georgia could
be brought out into the light of
day it would surprise old Diogenes
sti he would singe his hair and
beard both off in his excitement.
The people of old Montgomery
county have certainly hail to
fight for the life of the county.
First Toombs took a big slice,
then Wheeler county was made
out of the western side. These
two counties left Montgomery
but a narrow strip almost like a
shoestring. Now a proposition
is up to cut off the north end. If
ibis goes through, Montgomery
county might as well be wiped
off the map. Wo hardly think,
however, that the legislature will
consent to this move. —Pembroke

Darien Gazette: The solons
are going to knock out the near
beer saloons in Georgia. There is
no such thing as near beer. It’s
the real stuff whiskey and beer
that is sold in Georgia. Let’s
1 cull things by their right names.
Hazlehurst Enterprise: If we
I were a great manufacturing cen
ter and had innumerable enter
prises we could boast and brag of
! what we had, (then we’d need
more) hut, as it is, we haven’t
1 so much to brag or tell the world
that we have, except a delightful
climate, good water and a heal
thy town; and our experience
alone is that we subsist, but that
we must have some of the sub
stantial things of life along with
them.
Clinch County News: On the
first working day of the Legisla
ture, Thursday, 87 bills were in
troduced. If this rate was con
tinued for the fifty days there
would be 4,850 bills. It is to be
hoped that not more than 1 per
cent will pass.
Valdosta Times:—State School
Superintendent M. L. Brittain
declines to accept the position at
the head of Atlanta’s schools. If
that means he is to retain his
present position the state isto be
congratulated.
Savannah News: Three more
Norwegian ships have been sent
to the bottom by German subma
rines. Norway is not at. war
with Germany, but she is being
treated on the seas pretty much
as if she were. Her patience is
remarkable.
Lyons Progress:—The Walton
Tribune and other North Georgia
papers are just now reporting the
arrival of the “first cotton bloom”
of the season. This seems strange
to a fellow down here in God’s
country where the cotton bolls
are half grown.
Claxton Enterprise:—From ru
mors that are circulating about,
it seems that Congressman Chas.
G. Edwards will have some oppo
sition in his next race. If we re
member correctly, he has had
spposition before, but he is still
our congressman.
Brunswick Banner: A rural
exchange records the interesting
fact two of its young people were
“joined in holy deadlock.” Was
it a tie or a draw?
Atlanta Journal: Tho Georgia
farmer intends this year to eat
two grains of home-raised wheat
where last year he ate but one
; or none at all.
Greensboro Herald-Journal: -
If Old Man Prosperity don’t hur

Savannah Press: —lt is now
said Germany is to send us a

mood for bargaining.

Telfair Enterprise: We trust
the local merchants will have
their places of business decorated
for the reception of the state
weekly press editors. A little

I It Always Helps M
says Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky., fn £2l
writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman’s
tonic. She says further: “Before I began to use
Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, I
thought the pain would kill me. I was hardly able kg*
to do any of iny housework. After taking three bottles
of Cardui, l began to feel like a new woman. I soon ET,
gained 35 pounds, and now, Ido all my housework, |§S
as well as run a big water mill.
1 wish every suffering woman would give
The Woman’s Tonic b
a trial. I still use Cardui when I feel a little bad,
and it always does me good.” kCM
Headache, backache, side ache, nervousness, p
tired, worn-out feelings, etc., are sure signs of woman
ly trouble. Signs that you need Cardui, the woman’s pHi
tonic. You cannot make a mistake in trying Cardui
for your trouble. It has been helping weak, ailing
women for more than fifty years.
