Just as we expected, a cousin;
of Mrs. Galt, fiance of President j
Wilson, has shown up in Atlanta.
Got to get up long before day to|
got ahead of Atlanta.
We are proud to join the week
ly press in congratulations to
Editor A. C. Sweat of the Nash
ville Herald on his nomination for
postmaster at Nashville.
A live stock club that would
bring a lot of imnroved breeds of
cuttle and hogs to Montgomery
county would do more for our
people than all the politicians
have ever done.
Perhaps the recognition of the
Carranza faction in Mexico by
the United States and the South
American countries was carrying
out the idea of "the survival of
the fittest”—fighter.
We are told that the wedding
of President Wilson will shatter
all records for weddings in the
White House. Go right on with
your shattering, Woodrow, you’re
a man after our own heart.
Congressman Hughes is to be
among his loyal friends in Toombs
county today at their county fair.
The people of Toombs are pro
gressive, and stand by a good
man when they know him as
they do Hon. Dudley M. Hughes.
The Georgia State Fair in Ma
con, Oct. 2G to Nov. 5, promises
to be one of tbe best in the his
tory of the State Agricultural
Society. We hope every Mont
gomery county farmer can spend
at least one day within the gates.
It will pay you.
The war and the weevil and
every other evil have utterly
failed to balk the onward march
of this country to prosperity.
With Woodrow Wilson again in
the presidential chair, even
greater strides may be safely
predicted for the next four years.
Since Congressman Dudley M.
Hughes so effectively wiped up
with the ex Honorable Clements
last year there is no talk now of
opposition to the Danville states
man. As far as Toombs county
is concerned Dudley M. Hughes
w ill stay in Congress as long as
he wants to. Lyons Progress.
We have always contended
that our peope did not know the
real value of cotton seed. Foreign
countries have for years been
paying the freight across the
ocean on them and use them at a
fine profit. At S4O per ton. this
b\ product. formerly thrown
away, is now coming into its
own ami bringing millions into
the South.
"Safety First” is not only a
sensible slogan for the railroads,
but should U the motto of every
planter who sows a seed this fall
and next spring. This year has
shown unmistakably that bread
raised at home is cheaper and
better than any that cotton money
can buy. Get your oats in now
and have the wheat land ready
for a good crop.
The real progressive men at
this time are those who are lend
ing their efforts to the introduc-,
tion of improved breeds of cattle
and hogs. They are hastening
the day of independence and
prosperity for our farmers. The
old regime of buying guano to
make cotton to buy guano to
make more cotton must go. and
the sooner the better. Live stock
will permanently enrich the soil
and free us from the all cotton
mania.

Springfield Herald:—lf there
was no demand for the blind- i
tiger liquor why there would be
no liquor of that kind in Georgia.
Hit the consumer as well as the
seller and the law will have some
effect.
Savannah News: —At the pre
sent price of cotton lots of folks
are sorry they didn’t join that
famous movement to "Buy-a-
Bale” at ten cents a pound. And
if the price goe9 much higher
their regret will climb, too. Their
hindsight is much better than
their foresight.
Vidalia Advance: Germany
announces that she will quit kill
ing Americans with submarines.
England has well-nigh destroyed
the submarines of Germany and
the latter sees the inevitable.
Claxton Enterprise: The ideal
town is one in which everybody
is working for the up-build of the
town, nobody knocking every
body optimistic, and all looking
out for the good of the other per
son as well as themselves.
Adel News:—Just as we were
hoping that the war would end,
two or three more nations are
about to enter the contest. A
little more and most of the world
will be involved.
Pembroke Enterprise:- Cotton
for January delivery is selling
around twelve cents. What a
change twelve months have
wrought. It was the act of the
farmer that brought about this
and not a fool law. The farmer
don’t need law if he will use good
common judgment.
Perry Home Journal:—Editorial
advice should not be considered
offensive by the people advised,
if the said advice is good and
practical.
Greensboro Herald-Journal:
A subscriber asked us the other
day why there hadn’t been more
pig clubs started in this county.
That’s easy. There has been
too many hogs to give the pigs
a chance.
Macon Telegraph: The
Thomas ville Times-Enterprisc
■says: "Kill your dog and raise a
hog with what he eats.” But as
we haven’t a dog and on top o'
that haven’t a hog, we’ell pass it
up.
Mon roe Ad vert iser:—Fun ny,
isn’t it. that there are so many
people in this land of the brave
and home of the free who can
always run the other fellow’s
business better than they can
their own?
Lee Co. Journal:—What good
does your cotton money do you if
you already owe it for corn, meat,
hay and fertilizers? Don’t ever
again be fooled into an all-cotton
program, regardless of how high
prices may go.
Savannah Press:—A naturalist
lias predicted a winter of unusual j
severity for Europe. We imagine
i is going to rain shot and shell
over there.
Atlanta Journal: Colonel House
will probably see to to it that the
president doesn’t forgot the li
cense and ring and such things.
Lyons Progress:- One talk by
Prof. A. M. Soule, head of th<
State Agricultural College is
worth more than all the speeches
that all the politicians can make
from now until Judgment Day.
Dublin Courier-Herald: —ls you
miss the Twelfth District Fair,
you owe apologies to >our ,os
terity.

Live Stock Helps
To Buy a Farm.
When Lige Hensley was mar
ried 12 years ago, the young cou
ple made a resolution to own a
home of their own. They bought
a hog and a few hens, and from
these made their first SI(XJ, which
they invested in land. All sur
plus money went on land, which
they would sell the first oppor
tunity they were offered a fair!
profit. In this way, and by rais-;
ing stock, keeping cows, chickens j
and hogs, they soon had enough
money to make a fair payment
on the place on which they had
set their hearts. This place was
a fertile mountain farm, for,
which the owner asked 12800.
Mr. Hensley could only pay -+l2fJO
down, but he had no trouble in
arranging for the balance.
Last year was his first year on
the new farm, and he raised be
tween 1100 and 1200 bushels of
corn on 25 acres of ground, w'hich
is an extra good record for this
part of the state. It cost him
only a little over 10 cents a bushel
i to grow this crop of corn.
He has a good apple orchard,
from which he sold 300 bushels
of apples last year. He raised a
good crop of sweet potatoes, but
: kept the most of them for home
use. He raised all kinds of veg
! etables for home use, and sold
j something like *lO worth. They
: sold SBO worth of turkeys last
year, and sold five head of hogs,
for which they received $9(3.75.
Blue grass, orchard grass and
clover are the main pasture crops
on this farm. The owner sowed
21 bushels of wheat last year,
and in the spring sweet clover
was sown in the wheat. For
grazing crops for hogs, he sows
oats and rape combined, claim
ing it to be ahead of anything he
ever tried. Twenty-one head of
cattle, 12 of hogs, and three
horses were kept on this farm ail
last winter, and the first of March
the crib contained about 450
bushels of corn; 500 bushels of
corn was sold, for which he re
ceived s3l7.2s—Adda C. Hall in

White House Weddings
Are Breaking Record.
Washington, Oct. 8. — All rec
ords for weddings during one ad
ministration at the White House
have been scattered by the pre
sent one. The wedding of Pres
ident Wilson and Mrs. Norman
Galt will be the third to take
place since he was elected. The
others were:
Jessie Woodrow Wilson, daugh
ter of President Wilson, to Fran
cis Bowes Sayre, in 1913.
Eleanor Randolph Wilson, the
daughter of President Wilson, to I
William Gibbs McAdo, Secretary I
of the Treasury, in 1914.
Previously the record had been
two weddings in one administra
tion, established when James
Madison was President.
% Saved Girl’s Lite S
“I want to tell you what wonderful benefit I have re- ®
J ceived from the use of Thedford’s Black-Draught,” writes 1
J Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky. j®
“It certainly has no equal for la grippe, bad colds, 1
2 liver and stomach troubles. I firmly believe Black-Draught 1
g saved my little girl’s life. When she had the measles,
J they went in on her, but one good dose of Thedford’s
2 Black-Draught made them break out, and she has had no 1
more trouble. I shall never be without
BLack-draughT
J In my home.” For constipation, indigestion, headache, dizzi- J
ness, malaria, chills and fever, biliousness, and all similar
£ ailments, Thedford's Black-Draught has proved itself a safe, J
