Mount Vernon, Ga.. Thursday Morning, Oct. 19, 1916.
Those who made hay under the
August and September suns
should not allow it to mold under
the October sun. Uuse the hay
press before the fall rains.
Every auto manufacturer claims
the greatest mileage per gallon,
hut John I). has the satisfaction
of measuring it out to all of them.
The contest is too universal to be
exciting.
And now comes the sad and
stunning increase in the price of
shoes just at the approach of
winter, and in full knowledge
that they are not all made in
(iermany, either.
The European war is not an ill
wind to the hundreds of almost
obsolete sailing vessels which the
demands of commerce have
brought forth. During the past
week Savannah has enjoyed calls
from a number of the old-timers.
Baseball, the great national
curse, has about closed up shop
for tin; season, and the football
craze is now demoralizing the
scholastic work of the average
college. Strange that our edu
cational institutions cannot exist,
(so it is-said) without these far
cical appendages.
Dovers of the festive or the
material have every opportunity
in a continuous round of fairs to
indulge the taste. Doubtful if
any state in the union will have
more county fairs this fall than
Georgia, and as a result Georgia
people will have received a great
agricultural, educational and com
mercial uplift. No other school
of learning or inspiration com
pares to the fair.
A dollar invested in the county
paper will bring greater returns
than any deal we know of. The
man who does not provide his
family with this necessity is un
patriotic. Patriotism, likecharity,
should begin at home. Deprive
your boy of a knowledge of home
affairs and you have robbed him
of that manly grasp of national
questions belonging to the man of
more mature years.
Well enough that Uncle Sam’s
soldier boys will be given an
opportunity of camping on the
border. Every regularly enlisted
man should be given this oppor
tunity, especially those who have
boon penned up in mobilization
camps during the entire summer.
To see a regiment on review is
but to reflect that the footfall of
a nation’s soldiery is but a pul
sation of its national life.
It is hoped that Montgomery
county ( dieials are ready to co- j
operate with the state highway ;
commission in the matter of road j
building and improvement. This
county has smiie good roads, but j
they must be better. The ad
vanced age demands it. May the
time be not far distant when
every county in Georgia will have i
a perfect system of highways, j
No greater civic asset to any;
community.
Do not w ait too late to lend a
dollar to the Wilson campaign
fund. Every citizen, besides
having a patriotic interest in
President Wilson’s re-election, j
should be proud to add his mite
toward the financial end of the
political drama. The satisfac
tion of having aided the most
praiseworthy administration of
the age is worth more than the j
amount you contribute. Or, af
ter another glorious victory is
achieved by the Democratic
party, do not be too loud in prais- ,
ing the work “we" did. <

Georgia State
t Press Expressions.
There are nearly 50,000 automo
biles in Georgia. No wonder so
many of us are wondering where
we are to get a fall suit of clothes.
—Savannah News.
An inconspicious sentence in a
recent newspaper editorial con
cerning the capital removal prop
osition, suggested that there
might be a north Georgia and a
South Georgia in reality within
the very near future. Stranger
things have been brought about,
but this writer is opposed to any
new territorial division in Geor
gia. Our state is the best in the
South, and thus it would not be
better with any new division.—
Perry Home Journal.
It is estimated by persons who
are competent to judge, that ten
thousand acres planted to wheat
in will yield sufficient
Hour to feed the county. The
estimate is based on a yield of ten
bushels per acre and 38,(HX) in
habitants. There ought not to be
a single barrel of flour shipped
into Laurens county after next
June, when the wheat crop will
be gathered.— Citizen.
How do you spend your Sun
days? Do you spend them in such
a manner that when Monday
morning comes, you feel refresh
ed, more kindly toward your fel
lows, you feel as if you had much
to do in the world, or do you come
to the beginning of the work
time tired and without vision?—
Walker Co. Messenger.
The fellow that takes the paper
five years without paying for it
and kicks on something he sees
in it reminds us of that devout
Christian (ahem) who roasts the
preacher every Sunday for some
thing he said—and hasn’t paid
one red brownie to support him
in ten years! Hartwell Sun.
The full effect of the boll weevil
will not be felt in this county for
at least three years. In certain
sections of Alabama and Mississ
ippi, however, the farmers tried
to plant everything in cotton this
year for they thought it was their
last opportunity before the Mexi
can pest took charge. Their crop
is a complete failure. The only
successful way to beat the boll
weevil is to plant food crops.
Dublin Courier-Herald.
The Macon Telegraph ought to
have known that there was some
thing wrong with the report that
came to it from Atlanta regard
ing the intention of Governor
Harris to make speeches against
Hugh Dorsey in the Dorsey coun
ties, or it ought to have had the
report verified before following
it up with a foolish editorial at
tacking Dorsey the next day.—
Valdosta Times.
There must be some inaccuracy
in the reports from Mexico that
we have been reading. For years
it has been stated that the coun
try was devastated and swept
clean of everything movable, and
now the announcement is made
that certain parties have been
arrested for smuggling cattle
from Mexico into the United
States.—Macon News.
Were you ever envious of the
fellow who was doing all he could
to further the best interest of the
grand old commonwealth? Don’t
all speak at once. —Millen News.
And now it turns out that
Governor Harris is not going to
stump the state against Gover
nor-Elect Dorsey. That’d be our
idea of a pretty good thing not
to do. —Nashville Herald.
