Mount Vernon, Ga.. 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.

Valdosta has a fine chance to
solve the town-hall auditorium

The foreign demand for stee]
to make war material is so great,
and the price so high that ham

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

Our old friend, Joe Smith, head

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

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

Just about the time we get the
coal bill paid and feeling square

And so the ladies, God bless

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.—
