Mount Vernon. Ga.. Thursday Morning, July 22, 1915.
We are not hearing much from
the corn club boys. Hope their
prize acres are better this year (
than ever.
Don’t be discouraged, Cousin
.Jack. The war will end in a few
years, and we will all get rich as
quick as Wallingford.
There is corn and corn and
corn all over Montgomery county
not the kind you carry in jugs
and the bacon is coming along
to use with it.
The Weekly Press Association
meeting is over, and Kastman,
Mcßae and Brunswick have more
than measured up to the estimate
made of their hospitality.
Don’t let the sowing season
come before you arrange for
enough seed wheat to plant twice
as much as you did last fall. You
can raise a barrel of Hour easier
than you can make cotton to buy
it
The tax equalization is standing
like a stone wall against the on
slaughts made on it in the legis
lature. All of the people after a
while will learn that its purpose
is to reduce the burdens of taxa
tion instead of increasing them.
As long as human nature is
human nature, it will he impossi
ble for the Georgia legislature to
enact many general laws that
will benefit the whole people.
Too much scheming to legislate
money into somebody’s pocket.
Thaw’s money has at last set
him free. If Leo M. Frank and
Harry K. Thaw had been poor
men and without friends who
had money they would have been
in their graves so long that the
incidents would almost have been
forgotten.
Just can’t please the people of
this old world. A lot of cranks
who were clamoring for Slaton
to la* lynched a few days ago for
commuting Frank’s sentence are
wondering now if Frank is really
not innocent because he got his
throat cut.
If "seeing is believing,” the
Georgia Chamber of Commerce
is doing a grand work in building
a motion picture film five thous
and feet long to illustrate Geor
gia and its wonderful resources.
It is a stupendous piece of adver
tising of a great state.
The Georgia Bankers’ Associa
tion declared against strong
drink, the Georgia Weekly Press
Association will drink nothing
but Jay Bird Springs water here
after, ami it’s just one wave of
temperance after another sweep-;
ing over the old state.
The Montgomery county farm
er whose barns and storehouses
are full of feed and fat cattle and
hogs when frost comes need not
not worry so much about when
the war will end. In fact, if the
war teaches our people, so they
will stay taught, the important
lesson of living at home, it will
prove a blessing to the South.
The Montgomery Monitor says
The Advertiser is "one of the
Ivst newspapers of Midtile Geor
gia.” Coining from so excellent j
a source, we prize the commen
dation ail the more highly. Bro
ther Folsom is generous with his
flowers and we are grateful.
Georgia has larger weekly papers,
but there’s none that is better,
typographically or edited on a I
higher plane than the always
excellent Montgomery Monitor, j
-—Monroe Advertiser. •

Nashville Herald:—Seems to
be a sure thing that Senator Tom
Hardwick is to have opposition.
Tom Watson wants to try him,
and Little Joe Brown wouldn’t
require much coaxing.
Savannah News:—A grasshop
per can jump sixty-three times
his own length. The Russian
armies have not yet attained so
great a speed, but they’re im
proving right along.
Hazlehurst Enterprise: Secre
tary Lansing is measuring up to
the requirements of his office
satisfactorily, and is not seeking
nor asking for a peace medal ei
ther.
Dublin Courier-Herald: —It is
the custom to ridicule the Geor
gia legislature. This is wrong.
Disregard for our laws is the in
evitable result. A man is largely
what his fellows believe him to
be. An organization is affected
1 by the same faith.

Valdosta Times: Judge Lank
ford is going to run against Con
gressman Walker, and Judge
Somebodyelse is going to run
against Judge Lankford. So, there
will be life in the old land next
, year, if not before then.
Atlanta Constitution:— Most
• surprising feature of the Thaw
case is that after nine years of
lawyers and alienists Thaw had
the *35,000 bond price.
I Pembroke Enterprise:- If Har
ry Thaw is sane after undergoing
• the humiliation that has been
1 heaped upon him for the past
' eight years he certainly ought to
1 be turned loose so that he can
spend the rest of his life in peace.
Brunswick Banner:—The av
erage fellow who had planned
| nothing short of a trip to Cali
fornia feels by this time that he
will be exceedingly fortunate if
he gets a day off to go fishing.
i Hartwell Sun: —Don’t think
that because you are riding in an
auto you are entititled to the

Claxton Enterprise:— Unless
they get some of the scenes from
Evans County, that moving pic
ture the Georgia Chamber of
Commerce is making of the
State’s resources will not be
complete.
Macon Telegraph:—Captain of
the submarine which sunk the]
steamer Nebraskan says he was ,
not aiming at the American flag. |
All he wanted was to hit the j

Monroe Advertister:—The peo

ing at home. More wheat was
raised in Monroe county, and
more farmers are using home
ground Hour than in years. It's ,
just naturally better anyhow.
Adel News: The tax equaliza
tion law will stand, according to
latest reports. The law may not
l*e perfect, hut it has meant a
good deal to the state already.
Lyons Progress: Despite the
work of the calamity howler and
the chronic knocker, the Toombs ;
County Fair to be held at Lyons |

The people of Lyons and the
