Mount Vernon, Ga.. Thursday Morning, Sept. 30, 1915.
And now England proposes to
reproduce the war in the trenches
in moving pictures. Strikes us
that we would prefer the movies
every time to the real thing.
The most far-reaching and
profitable results to be expected
from live stock raising will be
t he permanent enrichment of our
soils. Commercial fertilizers will
never do it.
Don’t let the little spurt in the
price of cotton turn your head
away from that field of wheat
you purposed sowing this fall.
It will take more than 15 cents
cotton to pay for Hour next sum
mer at $lO per barrel.
Montgomery county people
have not gone wild over the na
tional highway, hut are having
built a highway from the south
end to the north end of the county
that will compare favorably with
anybody’s highway.
If the cotton market had open
ed at 15 cents and then dropped
down to 11 cents a howl would be
going up that might he hoard all
tin 1 way to Wall street. But the
tendency is upward, and we are
all happy.
Our county did not secure the
services of a farm demonstrator
tins year, but there is quite a
noticeable improvement in meth
ods on the farms, and improved
live stock is coming in for a big
share of our progress.
It is a rare thing, for Mont
gomery superior court to draw
near without a murder or two
to add to the trial expenses. A
rigid enforcement of our criminal
laws might cut down the average
in this line.
Governor Harris has wisely
heard the call of those who fight
against liquor, and in spite of the
bugbears raised by the advocates
of the accursed traffic, has inclu
ded the prohibition hills in his call
for the extra session of the legis
lature.
The Monitor would be glad to
publish at once notes on the ex
perience of those of our farmers
who planted wheat last season.
Such might prove of great benefit
to all who contemplate sowing
this fall. And that ought to in
clude every farm.
If you don’t see Georgia illus
trated in the movies you can at
tend tin* state fair in Macon and
see the real evidence of the prog
ress of the great state in agricul
ture and live stock raising,
besides wonderful living pictures
in every line of endeavor.
The annual trade review of the!
Savannah News for this season
was fully up to the standard of
that reliable daily, which is say-1
ing a great deal for the publics- j
tion. This annual illustration of
the Commerce of Georgia’s chief
seaport is always complete and
highly interesting.
If the extra session of the legis
lature is forced into the work
that Ixxly failed to do at the regu
lar session by the tactics of politi
cal sharks, Georgia is able to pay
for it; and some of the methods
that prevent any legislation may
he wiped < u! to the benefit of the
piN>ple who pay the expenses.
Mowers and rakes are abroad
in the land, and, like Maud Mul
ler, are ready to “rake the mea
dows brown with hay,” and we
expect the largest hay crop this
season ever put up in Georgia.
And it’s not a far cry from boun
tiful feed supplies to more ami
hotter live stock and the sure
prosperity it brings.

Hawkinsvile Dispatch-News:—
South Carolina went dry by a
vote of more than two to one in
the recent prohibition election.
And Georgia will come mighty
near doing the same thing if she
has to vote on the question.
Valdosta Times: The proposi
tion to send Col. Bryan to Europe
as a dove of peace seems to be
confined to a small crowd in this
country. The Europeans have
not indicated any special desire
for Mr. Bryan to come there yet.
Macon News:—The expulsion
of Ambassador Dumha and the
warning to other diplomatic and
consular agents is merely a no
tice to the Europeans to do their
fighting on the other side of the
ocean and let us alone.
Vidalia Advance:—We trust
Toombs county will plant largely
of small grain this fall. This is
an ideal oat county and wheat
does extremely well. Let Toombs
county farmers go in to make a
living at home. If we will do so,
prosperity will come to stay.
Jones Co. News: —lt is a novel
and pleasing sight to see the
top-covered school wagon from
the James neighborhood as it
passes every morning loaded
with something like twenty hap
py children on their way to
school. Our school is full to over
flowing-having the largest at
tendance of its history.
Claxton Enterprise:—The news
papers over the country are in
sisting that the warring nations
of Europe are in a state of bank
ruptcy. Mighty active over there
for bankrupts.
Savannah Press:—Mr. Hearst
doesn’t approve of lending money
to the foreigners. This is Mr.
Hearst, s usual position with any
thing he did not suggest first.
Monticello News:—Bryan is
done with Washington as a resi
dence place, says a headline.
Likewise Washington is done with
Bryan as a resident, we are sure.
Lyons Progress: —ls some towns
had more funerals out of certain
material they would get rid of a
heavy load and thus place them
selves in a position to move for
ward.
Monroe Advertiser:- Hope they
will not make the short skirts
any shorter this winter! ‘Twould
be altogether cruel to make the
poor boys stand on the street
corners during the anticipated
cold weather. Almost heartless,
we might add.
Hartwell Sun:—Some scientific
nut says kissing is a sign of in
sanity. Ixits of crazy folks in
this worl{), aren’t there?
Clinch Co. News:—Ward Cor
nelius phoned the News office
Thursday that he had just killed
a large rattlesnake up in the
grapevine at Mr. J. B. Cornelius’
home three miles from town.
The snake had eight rattles, and
when killed was helping himself
o the grapes.
Dublin Courier-Herald: —When
ankle watches get to be worn
generally, the men are going to
throw away their time pieces and
depend on the damsels they meet
for the correct time.
Greensboro Herald-Journal:
The payment of small debts
should receive prompt attention. j
When a dollar starts on the
rounds it can do lots of good in
the settlement of accounts and
all who are concerned feel better
1 when they discharge this duty.
THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30. 1915
Alligator Attacks Mule.
Driven by Preacher.
An unusual alligator story has
just reached Valdosta from Ba
ker county, vouched for by sev
eral farmers who came here to
trade and sell their cotton. It is
to the effect that a monster alli
gator attacked a mule while the
latter, hitched to a preacher’s
buggy, was crossing a pond in
theChickasawhatchee creek. The
mule suddenly fell over on its
side, and the preacher, upon in
vestigation, found that the alliga
tor had one of the mule’s forelegs
in his great jaws. Fortunately,
the preacher had an ax in his
buggy, and with this he killed
the alligator. On frequent oc
casions alligators in the streams
of this section have been known
to catch pigs, young calves, cub
bears and other small animals,
but this is the first story of a mule
being attacked by one.—Valdosta
Times.
Negro Boy Hanged
For Criminal Assault.
Jacksod, Ga., Sept. 24. —Joe
Persons, a negro boy of from 12
to 14 years old, was hanged in
the jail yard here today for as
saulting an 8-year-old white girl
near here last June. To the half
hundred persons around the
scaffold the boy admitted he com
mitted the crime and stoically an
nounced he was ready to die.
Although he weighed only 75
pounds his neck was broken by
the fall. Officers did not attach
weights to Persons as had been
suggested to them as possibly
necessary to successfully execute
him.
Six Per Cent
Money to Loan.

ty-five Thousand Dollars that
they are willing to loan in Mont
gomery County during the sum
mer months on improved farm
lands at ti per cent interest. Now

interest on the amount paid if
desired. If you are going to need

kad For Three Summers Mrs. Vin

Any of Her Housework.
Pleasant HHI, N. C.—“l suffered for
three summers," writes Mrs. Walter
Vincent, ol this town, “and the third and
last time, was my worst.
I had dreadful nervous headaches and
prostration, and was scarcely able to
walk abouL Could not do any of my
housework.
I also had dreadful pains in my back
and sides and when one of those weak,
sinking spells would come on me, 1

He was traveling in the South
and had to put up overnight at a
second-rate hotel in Western
Georgia, relates Argonaut. He
said to the clerk when he enter
ed: “Where shall I autograph?”
“Autograph?” said the clerk.
“Yes; sign my name, you
know.
“Oh, right here.”
As he was signing his name in
the register in came three fellows
immediately recognizable as
Georgia “crackers.” One of
them advanced to the desk.
“Will you autograph?” asked
the clerk, his face aglow with
the pleasure that comes from the
consciousness of intellectual su
periority.
“Certainly,” said the “crack
er,” his face no less radiant than
that of the clerk; (< mine’s rye.”
