The old story about lawyers

Let us hope that President

South Georgia is not adding
any inducements to its attractive

We have no peanut oil mills in
Montgomery county, hut our peo

News item states that a cotton
exchange is about tube organized
at Rotterdam to make Holland
independent of the German and

velvet beans.
Now that the Western X- At
lantic railroad commission has

If you do not think that the

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

goes back to that one problem.
We suggest that Montgomery
county people keep in mind cows
and velvet beans.
