Pindar boilings are still quite popular in South Georgia, hut the indications are that boll wee vil parties will soon be all the; rage. Get ready to attend the state' lair in Macon next w'eek. Its' wonderful exhibits will stimu-j late every attendant to greater endeavor and more lofty ideals) in agriculture and the live stock industry. There are millions of rnen and money in Germany and other warring countries still waiting to be sacrificed. As long as these last, it would be wise for our people to plan to live independ ent of any nation or people. Oats, oats and more oats should be the October and November slogan. No expense except sow. ing and reaping, and the land left ready for a profitable sum mer crop. Nothing to beat it in the South, not even excepting alfalfa. In the death of its managing editor, George A. Gregory Friday night, following so soon the death of Editor E. M. Hancock, the Savannah News has been peculiarly unfortunate. The passing of these worthy men is a distinct loss also to Southern journalism. The Twelfth District Fair in Dublin, to come on immediately after the state fair, should appeal to every farmer in the district. Dublin will make it worth while for you to spend at least one day til the fair. Laurens county alone can get up an exhibit well worth seeing, Toombs county people are to lie congratulated upon the great success of their agricultural fair held in Lyons last week. Thous ands of dollars will be added to tlx* value of Toombs county farms and faun animals by the impetus given to improved methods and more intelligently directed ef forts. No county fair ever failed to do good to the county in which it was held. We are eagerly awaiting the day when we can print the por trait of the Montgomery county man who will rise up and organ ize his fellow citizens in a com pact to do something practical for their own good. Improved cattle and hogs could be placed in every district for the purpose of grading up the live stock, and would add thousands to farm values—all by a little intelligent co-operation. The effort to organize here this week a camp of the Sons of Confederate Veterans and a chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy is highly commend able. On patriotic lines, there has always been a woeful lack of sentiment in this country. The memories of those who sleep "on fame’s eternal camping ground" can only he perpetuated by these societies, and that spirit which pays tribute to the sacred dead always exalts the living. — Before cold weather sets in. the intermittent kind we have in South Georgia, our farmers ought to figure on a refrigerator for saving meat. With all the cold spells of last winter, a lot of people in this section lost meat. At the cost of a few dollars, any carpenter can construct an ice box that would keep all the meat raised on any farm. And a few hk>cks of ice cost far less than a wagon load of hams and should ers we frequently see carted olf into the woods. TT?rYYY»YY»TVYY»mYYm» • £ Gleanings From t Wisdom’s Field. 5 ► 4 •AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Valdosta Times: —Of course, the South needs more cotton mills, hut the South needs hard-wood factories, automobile factories, car factories and big concerns of that sort. We have to send to New York, Chicago, Detroit and Buffalo for too many things that could be made in the South. Atlanta Journal: -In the mar ket General Advance is still tak ing the trenches from General Liquidation. Nashville Herald: County of ficers are to be elected for four years hereafter, and many of the newspapers in Georgia are an nouncing that the announcement fee will be ten dollars instead of five. Savannah Press: Between Dick Grubb trying to keep down First congressional district politicial discussion and Sills of Metter and Moore of Springfield trying to start it up, the old country is having some time. Lyons Progress: Waycross voters put in a good days work last Saturday even if they did vote down some necessary char ter amendments. They defeated a crazy suffrage proposal, which act was worth the days work. Dublin Courier-Herald: —Lau- rens county farmers are planning to plant large quantities of grain this fail. They realize the nec essity of diversifying, now that the boll weevil is in Georgia. No more all-cotton crops for the far mers of this county. Jones Co. News:—The man who has health, happiness and a clear conscience is twice as rich as the fellow with a million and a bum stomach. Macon Telegraph:—The papers having printed pictures of Mrs. Galt at every ago from one year on up to the present time, it is now up to some enterprising managing editor to print one of how she’s going to look in 1917. Adel News:—Coca Cola has built more sky scrapers than any one article in the country, at least Mr. Asa Candler is said to own more of them than any one man. But he has put lots of his money into many other good causes, besides building struc tures, that will be monuments to his memory. Butler Herald:—A farmer resi dent of Gritlin has been arrested for shipping whiskey in coffins. This seems to carry out Barnes ville’s contention that Griffin is full of dead ones. Springfield Herald:—The Herald would like to see a general coun ty movement in Effingham to se cure some of the people that are hunting new homes. If the peo ple in all sections of the county will come together and make a united effort, we can make Ef fingham county one of the pro gressive counties in the state. Monroe Advertiser:—This is a charitable world after all, some people to the contrary notwith standing. Nearly all the fairs in Georgia are to have “Press Day,” where the poor country editors are to be entertained, just like real folks. All glory to the phi lanthropist, who first had this generous impulse. Hartwell Sun: —Walking up the street the other day and saw a sign which read: "Wanted Girls to sow buttons on the sec ond floor.” Guess the second tloor must be loose somewhere. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1915 Stuffed Whiskey Order And Gets Nabbed. Valdosta, Ga., Oct. 15. — Depu ty United States Marshal Robt. L. Thomas has gone to Wayne county to arrest Dommie E. Highsmith on the charge of ab stracting a letter from the mail box at Nahunta, Ga. It is charg ed that Highsmith opened an order for whiskey, which had been mailed by a resident of Na , hunta to a Jacksonville firm, and added a postscript to the letter, j ordering a quart sent to a ficti tious address. The interference was discovered when the Nahun ta citizen received a statement from the whisky house in which he was charged with more whis ky than he had received. Highsmith will be held pending his trial in the United States Court here. Cotton Seed Sell For SSO a Ton. Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 14. Cotton seed for the first time in Alabama’s history sold for SSO a ton. This price w'as offered and paid by several concerns, but prospects for further record prices kept most of the planters from offering their seed. New uses of seed for war purposes, better export prices and more ex tended use of cotton seed pro ducts in the north are assigned as the reason for the advance. A Telephonic Trouble. A new servant girl was at first very much mystified by the tele phone, of which she had had no previous experience. However, after much careful observance, she concluded that she was fully qualified to act, and was ready when the next ring came. “Hallo!” came from the re ceiver. “Hallo!” answered the girl. “Who is this?” asked the voice. “I don’t know,” replied the maid, “I can’t see you!” She’d Heard That Before. Annanias went home to Sap phira the other day, after having lost heavily through some shady venture, and he was feeling very penitent and repentant, says the Kansas City Star. “Sapphira,” he said, “I'm go ing to reform. Pitch in, fix up the house, buy shoes and clothes for the children and get yourself just about everything you want to dress up like a perfect lady.” But Sapphira just smiled wea rily, “Go on.” she talk like a police commissioner.” Jury List.
