Mount Vernon, Ga., Thursday Morning, Oct. 21, 1915.
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.

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.

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.”
