Thu • hy Morning, May 11, 1916. We hope Montgomery count \ farmers will plan to enter exhil - ts at the Twelfth District Fair in Dublin next fall. The announcement of General Meldrim as a candidate for Con- j gross from the First District puts a strong man in the race. In deference to the expressed wish of the Savannah Press we decline positively to mention any stuff they dig up in the alleys. Georgia has selected a good team for the St. Louis conven tion, but the boys will have very little to do except to join iri the great shout for Woodrow Wilson when they get there. The subject of preparedness against the boll weevil has about passed the argumentative stage, j You are doubtless planting pea nuts to feed the pigs and velvet | beans to feed the cows. j The “development edition” of the Citizen, sent out last Friday, was a splendid paper; and reflects the spirit of Dublin and Laurens county that has made thut section one of the best in the state. There are thousands of homes and farms in Georgia, and many in Montgomery county, whose owners are quite able to install small irrigation plants that would insure a supply of vegetables every year, regardless of spring drouths that occur so regularly in these late years. The Wrightsville Headlight, recently purchased by Mr. C, D. Rountree, who has disposed of his interest in the Swainsborol Forert-Blade, already begins to j show the marks of a skilled hand; and Johnson county will continue to have a first class paper undt i his man: rement. There is st ; ll m ,e hope fo] real culture in Georgia. Down Boston in this state, where t: .people know far more of the del ioate flavor of yellow yams ai . ■ home-made ham gravy than tln\\ do of baked beans, the> describe an auto wreck as “a Ford car overturned,” instead of saying' the "rickety hiekety turned tur tle.” It is feared that the corn club boys of this county will be great ly handicapped by the long drouth, which has continued well into the third month; and it real ly seems that some of them could rot get the crops started off in time to insure big yields. But we ho. iho bo\s will not beconn discouraged, for they are the hope of this country. The Atlanta Georgian publishes under a big h aniline the state nient that the Kaiser was the soleauthorof Germany’s last note to the United States. It is quite evident that this note and its predecessors are the work of some genius who can take his own time about writing, and can write as much without saying anything as any man they have on that side. Some folks saw a lot of harmo ny in the state convention in Ma con last week, while others saw the ghosts of a hundred dead cut and dried schemes stalking around on the edges. Perhaps their per spective was tinkered with after the manner of a fellow in South Georgia who bought a lot of green spectacles for his mules to ' make them think they were i feasting on green pastures while I he fed them on dry shucks. ■ t Gloanings From J t Wisdom’s Field. 5 ► 4 * AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA The bread makers from two or three states are meeting in Macon ♦his week.
