Civic pride demands that the cows should be taken ofT our streets. Election next Saturday. You can bank on beans because they give double dividends—soil fertility and the finest stock feed. The old story about lawyers picking fat geese* is being exem plified in the Jim Smith wrangle. Come to think of it, what’s the need of Villa having any It gs at all so long as his mustang pony j has four good ones? Let us hope that President Wilson’s second term will not be so turbulent as the present one. lie deserves four years ol rest. South Georgia is not adding any inducements to its attractive ness for home seekers by the va rious deadly knife and pistol duels of a few of its lawless citizens. We have no peanut oil mills in Montgomery county, hut our peo ple understand perfectly the process of getting the oil by the hog-rooting plan. A ‘ |l the in dustry pays immensely. If you thought yourself a little j too previous about leaving oil j your winter underwear wlnle tie frost was pinching the beans and potatoes Monday morning, don’t worry, you will strike it right ; about August. The auto-mortuary report for last week was about up to the average. High priced gasoline will not prevent the things from killing folks, notwithstanding the prevailing idea that they are made to play with. That hoy out behind the cy press pond or creek may be a leader of men. Give him a chance. Bring him to the county school contest here on the 2Sth inst., and, at least, let him got an idea of what the other boys are doing. News item states that a cotton exchange is about tube organized at Rotterdam to make Holland independent of the German and Liverpool cotton exchanges. It is quite probable that these Dutchmen have not heard about the boll weevil, and that we are planting thousands of acres of velvet beans. Now that the Western X- At lantic railroad commission has secured from the Interstate Com merce Commission the serv ices of an expert, it would be a fine thing for the taxpayers of the state if said expert would give us some facts, in plain figures, as to wha* the state is really get ting out of the road. If you do not think that the prohibitionists have power that will assert itseif in the next ses sion of the Georgia legislature, keep your eye on a few fellows who voted with the whiskey ele ment as long : s they th night it would profit them to do so, hi u see them try to crawl on the wa ter wagon tog t tin ir pet scheme s through at the approaching se> sion. The state is deing a gr at work along agricultural ..ml the people appreciate it. But all the efforts of state and national ex perts could not be centered in a more important matter than that of soil fertility. The vv hole ques tion of prosperity for our people goes back to that one problem. We suggest that Montgomery county people keep in mind cows and velvet beans. rrrrrrrrrrrrrrwrvrrtrrrrw • ► . , 2 ► Gleanings From < l Wisdom’s Field. 3 ► *! °AAAAAAIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA We are of the opinion that the ; average corn club boy will never 1 deteriorate into a peanut politi-1 cian but will grow up to be a successful farmer or even some thing better.—Darien Gazette. I f the price of print paper keeps soaring, some ot us editors are going to he compelled to get out and put into actual practice some of that advice we have been giv ing the farmers,—Laurens Citi : zen. We take it that these fellows who are always sighing for a life in the country never tried turning a grindstone for a husky agriculturist who believed in hearing down with all his might when sharpening his axe. —Macon Ttdegranh. There’s one thing certain, when you lose time, its gone; you can never catch up with it. You can regain lost wealth by economy; lost knowledge by study; lost | health by careful living but Old Father Time waits for no man. — i Greensboro Herald-Journal. Let’s make Mcßae a clean j town. It can be made one of the ! most beautiful towns in this sec tion if all the property owners will go to a little trouble and ex pense. The cost of this “renova tion” will not be near so great as the enhancement of the property value. Telfair Enterprise. Villa may be a long time get ting what is coming to him, but Uncle Sam usually gets them when he starts, In the mean time, he makes it very uncom fortable for thq fugitives while he is looking for them. —Valdosta ■ Times. If gasoline goes to fifty cents ! a gallon as some say it will, we will have to offer our old gasoline ! engine for junk and go back to muscle power. Can’t print a dollar paper with fifty cents gas [olene especially on whitepaper that cost 5 cents a pound.—Pem broke Eenterprise. Georgia eclipsed all the states in the union on its farm products last year. It was Georgia’s first year in diversification. What CAN we do when we really get all of our farmers interested in diversification? Walker County Messenger. As time passes the thinking people of Georgia who have no political ax to grind become more and more convinced that the proper thing to do with the state railroad is to sell it. The state road is a valuable asset for the politicians to play with but a; poor investment for the state.— j Lyons Progress. A recruiting officer of Columbus says that a man led man’s place is at home, and that he should i o: be forced to join the army. That has been our opinion over s e the w. r started. Hawkins \ i o' Dispat ’h News.
