Thursday Morning, Apr. 20, 1916. If Mr. Edison had ever attend ed a meeting of the Montgomery County Singing Convention he would not he down in Florida catching the songs of the mock ing birds for his phonograph rec ords. The very latest mention for gubernatorial honors is Judge Fite of the Cherokee circuit. They have got this mentioning business down to where we will never be surprised at anything or any proposition any more. We are in receipt of the first issueof the Maysville Enterprise, a weekly paper. The Enterprise is a neatly printed and tastily made up paper of eight pages, all home print, and we wish the new venture the success it de serves. Reports show that more than 20,000 boys and girls of Georgia have enlisted in the work of the corn, canning, pig, poultry and four-crop clubs for 1916. The first line of defense against the boll weevil invasion. —Savannah News. It is very gratifying to note that the live stock business is already taking deep root in Mont gomery county. Several carloads of hogs and some cattle have been shipped from the county recently and the money they brought comes in a good time. At the fifty-first annual con vention of the Georgia Educa tional Association to meet in Ma con today many of Georgia’s most noted educators will be gathered. Illiteracy will be vigorously at tacked, and the influence of the convention will soon be felt all over the state. As Judge Dick Russell is soon to resign his place on the bench of the Court of Appeals and en ter politics again, it is now in order for some of his friends to call the roll and give a list of Judge Russell’s children and tell how many lie has dependent on him for support. The meeting of Georgia’s edu cators in Macon today is a big thing, but Montgomery county people will derive more direct benefit from the county school contest here on the 2Sth inst., provided they enter heartily in to the work and see that every pupil in the county takes part in it. It is said that more than twenty bankers left Atlanta Sunday night to discuss at the group meetings of tin* banks the subject of farm credits. If half as large a com pany could meet the farmers and tell them how to manage in a way that they would not need loans from the banks a far great er amount of good might be ac complished. It is given out that tin* boys over in the old Eleventh District are determined to have a scrap over the congressional race. In the new Twelfth everything points to the re-election of Hon. Dud Hughes without so much as a small patch of dust being kicked up. Our people know a good thing when they see it. The Rethesda Orphanage, near Savannah, founded by George Whitfield, will celebrate its one hundred and seventy-sixth anni versary on Tuesday next. It is impossible to estimate the good work done by this grand old in stitution, kept up by the Union Society, which will celebrate its one hundred and sixty-sixth anniversary on the same date.

The time to do things is now. Procrastination is the thief of time and the devil’s mainstay. Valdosta Times. The foreign demand for stee] to make war material is so great, and the price so high that ham mers, hatchets and other carpen ter tools are becoming scarce in the wholesale markets of the United States.—Perry Home Journal. The Rome Tribune-Herald says, according to the Macon News, that the Georgia watermelon is going to be improved. Having recently been elected watermelon tester of Jasper county the above information is exceedingly juicy news to us. We are ready for any test that may come before us. Monticello News. Our old friend, Joe Smith, head of the Mormon church, says he is disgusted with prevailing fash ions for women. We don’t know how many wives Joe has but. from what he says we suspect that, the bill collector for the millinery store has just been around to see him. Lyons Prog ress. We all want peace, hut Senator Sutherland, of Utah, was emi nently correct when he said: “A nation, when all other means fail, that will not resent flagrant and illegal attack upon the lives of its own citizens is only less detestable than a man who will not fight for his wife and chil dren.” Dawson News. One time in the eleventh hour man received just as much as the man who began early. If you think this would be true in your lease there is plenty of time for | you to announce for a county suffice yet. —Walker County Mes senger. The vagrants, big and small, are the great menaces to a com munity. When a man is busy doing honest work he will not find much time to hatch up devil ment. Vagrancy is a curse and no vagrant should be allowed in any community. There is law enough to put the fixings on the vagrant. Darien Gazette. Today there are twelve states where women can vote for presi dent of the United States. At the last presidential election there were only six. This would seem to answer the question, ‘‘ls wo man suffrage coming or going?” —Butler Herald. Just about the time we get the coal bill paid and feeling square with the world we have to get to figuring on where we can raise the money to pay the ice man. Life’s just one bill after another. Hartwell Sun. And so the ladies, God bless them, are going t o wear skirts this spring that will touch the ground. We could never under stand why the high cost of living made the skirts as high as they have been. - - Greensboro Herald- Journal. A statement publised in the daily press a few days ago to the effect that more fertilizer tags had been sold this year than last is hard to believe. It is estima ted that the fertilizer sales here is only about 40 per cent of last year’s sales, and it is about the same all over South Georgia.— Rochelle New Era.
