Mount Vernon, (la.. Thursday Morning Auk. 26, 1915.
If breaking out of the Georgia
suite prison were as easy as
breaking.in it would soon be a,
lonesome place.
Some enthusiast has lost pa
tience and says England can’t
head a calf in a narrow lane.
Her boats are heading German
torpedoes ail right at the rate of
several a week.
We have no county fair to in
vite you to, but Dublin and Ly
ons and other progressive places
will entertain this fall, and you
will also profit by a visit to the
slate fair in Macon.
A merchant-farmer told us a
few days ago that he would make
more forage this year from a
single acre of beans and corn
t han many one-horse farms make
in a year. And he can prove it.
If Uncle Nat can’t fix the
blame for the Frank lynching, we
respectfully suggest that he turn
it over to the whiskey crowd and
the rules committee of the legis
lature at the extraordinary ses
sion. . They can fix anything.
Os course Governor Harris will
investigate the Frank lynching,
and all the newspapers, from the
big dailies down to the little
weeklies, will denounce mob law
in Georgia. And the whole mess
will not be worth two spoons
ful of fourth grade guano.
And Germany has destroyed
another ship with a few unsus
pecting Americans on board. The
hard-headed galoots will con
tinue their “unfriendly acts’’ un
til Mr. Wilson will absolutely be
compelled to take his pen in hand
and write them another note.
We are learning more and
more us the war progresses.
When the Steamer Arabic was
torpedoed Thursday morning
they had the life boats all hang
ing out ready. Wewill soon learn
to take along our coffins and
shrouds when we go calling over
in Europe.
Who lynched Frank? Governor
Harris is offering several hun
dred dollars for the information.
Hut it will never cost the tax
payers of Georgia a red cent to
find out who lynched law and or
der and the right of trial by jury
in this dear hut muchly maligned
old state. Every body knows.
Just keep quiet, Mr. Whooper.
If things are not as lively in
Georgia just now as you would
like, just wait until the cam
paign is on next year with all
county offices to he filled for four
years and the Georgia legisla
lature yets to oscillating and vac
cinating once more. You’ll be
satisfied.
Billie Bryan’s fog horn has
been drowned in the noise out
West by Jack Slaton and Jim
Woodward. The mouthings of
this precious pair are doing about
the same class of advertising for
Georgia as the Federation of
Negro Woman’s Clubs up around
Chicago, but more far-reaching
in its effects.
We are under obligations to
Commissioner Charles L. Davis
for a copy of his fourth report of
the Department of Game and
Fish. Outside of a few old rusty
carp in the Oconee river, and a
small crop of jay birds that we
manage to keep replenished from
the main aviary at Jay Bird
Springs, Montgomery county is
not much interested in the game
laws.

Jones County News: - They
say all things come to him that
waits, and we would like to think
it is true. But truth to tell, we’ve
been waiting a dickens of a long
time for some of those subscrip
tion dollars due us, and they are
not here yet.
Cordele Dispatch: —All those
outlaws in Mexico will turn upon
the United States, as soon as we
undertake to stop their outlawry.
The best thing is to let them de
stroy themselves.
Macon News: Just as was ex
pected, the prison commission
issues a statement exonerating
everybody at the state farm.
Adel News:— We need a heal
thy public sentiment against
mob violence in Georgia. This
state has suffered much on ac
count of it. Nine lynchings in
eight months is an awful record.
Valdosta Times: —A German
secret agent who was arrested
in Florida claimed to be a bee
culturist. He was probably lay
ing plans to raise a crop of bum
ble bees with which to sting Un
cle Sam.
Monroe Advertiser:— Comes
now a fellow who says that Hen
ry Ford is going to paint his au
tomobiles yellow, so’s he can sell
’em in hunches like bananas.
Perry Home Journal: — The
1915 Georgia legislature has with
much emphasis demonstrated
that there should be provision
whereby each county in the state
: could attend to its own affairs,
and not over burden the legisla
ture with local legislation. The
Superior Court judges and the
people are fully competent to de
cide all such questions.
Savannah Press:—The report
that Noah was to blame for the
fall of man has become generally
circulated too late to hurt the
reputation of the old navigator.
Dawson News:— The ho m e
merchant knows you, is your
friend, and wants you to succeed.
The mail order man doesn’t know
you, doesn’t care a rap about
you. and never wants to see any
thing but your money.
Hartwell Sun: And yet people
just keep on trying to knock
trains off the tracks wth their
; Fords, while the killing goes
merrily on.
Claxton Enterprise: Cotton
has been declared contraband by
the fighting nations. Now watch
the speculators try to use that as
a weapon to boat the price down
as low as possible.
Macon Telegraph: Most of the
advice Georgia is getting on how
to conduct her own affairs comes
i from a bunch of newspaper wri
ters not exactly noted for suc
cessfully conducting their own.
Valdosta Times: —China has re
fused to let the Standard Oil
[Company exploit the oil fields of
that country, which shows that
China is waking up.
Darien Gazette: Here is hop
ing that when they do get at it
again they will settle that prohi
bition question for good and for
ever. So far as we are personally
concerned the law can be made
as drastic as the most drastic ad
vocate could wish for. Water is
good enough for us.
Lyons Progress: The authori
ties having in charge the uphold
ing of the dignity of the law say
the Frank lynching will be
thoroughly investigated. And
that will be all there will be to it.
Monticello News: Four hun
dred Americans are said to bo
{Starving down in Mexico. We
' are sorry, but seems to us they
have had plenty time in which to
(withdraw themselves from the
i disturbed and warriven republic.

Mare Nurses Calf
In Motherly Manner.
Mr. R. A. O’Neal, of Union
Point, was in the city Wednes
day and told us of an unusual oc
currence on his place. July
he had a mare to be severly
burned. Before the animal was
entirely well she commenced giv- j
ing milk and has continued the
emission of milk to this time.
Recently a calf was placed in the
pasture with the mare and the
latter has mothered the calf just
as if it was her own off-spring.
The horse shows great affection
for the calf.—Greensboro-Herald
Journal.
Ticks Exact Heavy Toll.
The people of the South are
giving a great deal more atten-j
tion each year to getting rid of
the cattle tick. To show how ex
tremely important to keep fight
ing this pest until all the states
are tick free, it will be interest
ing to note the prices received in
tick free state and the prices re
ceived in tick infested states.
In Alabama and Mississippi,
the average price for beef on the
hoof was, on Jan. 1, 1915, only 4
cents a pound. In Connecticut it
was a little over H cents, and in j
no tick free state was it as low
as 5 cents. The average price of
beef cattle oyer two years old
was S2O in Alabama, and $22 in
Mississippi. It was $64 in Wy
oming, and S6O in Montana. Ver
mont, with an average of $39,
was the only tick free state in
which the price was below S4O.
In North Carolina, South Caroli
na, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana
and Arkansas, all more or less
tick infestested, the average price
was below S3O. —Soutern Farm

And For Three Summers Mrs. Vin

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 ot my
housework.
1 also had dreadful pains in my back
and sides and when one of those weak,
sinking spells would come on me, 1

I was certainly in a dreadful state of
health, when 1 finally decided to try

“I’ll be mighty glad when my
boy Josh gets back home,’’ said
Farmer Corntossel, according to
the Baltimore Sun.
“You need him around the
farm?’’
“I should say so. ”
“Is he such a wonderful work

“I wouldn’t think of askin’
Josh to work.”
“Then why do you need him?”
“The hired man’s puttin’ on so
much airs there ain’t hardly no

person that ever come around
here that can beat him Dlayin’
checkers.”
