Entered at the I'oßtofflce in Mt. Vernon. Ga. as Second-Class Mail Matter.
H. B. FOLSOM. Editor and Owner. Si a Year, in Advance.
advertiiM raentn must invariably bfep&id ia advance, at the rate, and aa the law
direct#; and inn*! be in hand not later than Wednesday morning of the first week of insertion
Mount Vernon, Ga.. Thursday Morning, Oct. 26, 1916.
The palm beach and the Pana
ma are no longer in evidence in
this clime, and there is a marked
difference in the cost of a winter
wardrobe.
Deploring warfare as he may,
the Southern farmer cannot pre
vent his cotton being manufac
tured into explosives. It is the
price that interests him most.
Everybody bragging about the
prosperous times makes the coun
try editor lonesome. Hut it is
said that every dog has his day,
therefore we shall maintain hope.
The demand for cotton seed
oil may be interfered with by the
boll weevil, but peanut oil will
doubtless serve a large field.
This modest crop is worth mil
lions.
The allies say they have the
Germans down and the Teutonic
powers claim the topmost posi
tion in the fray, and thus it goes.
The result can be told only by
the end.
And now congress may be ask
ed to take steps to prevent the
increase in the cost of food. In
cidently the craze for high living
may come in for summary con
sideration if not treatment.
Like many necessities, good
roads are costly, but the county
or section without them is far in
the background. The day of
plodding through a sandbed or a
boghole is past. Even the most
skeptical mind approves modern
road improvement.
More than one Georgia weekly
has in the past few weeks neg
lected its editorial column while
boosting a county fair. This is
permissible; let the fairs come in
for first consideration. To the
country editors is due very large
ly the credit for pushing such
worthy enterprises.
Montgomery county citizens
who attended the Twelfth Dis
trict Fair at Dublin this week
cannot but see the advantage of
this county making an exhibit,
even if it will not put on an an
nual county fair. Naturally this
is a favored section, yet our peo
ple are blind to their opportuni
ties.
A credit to Congressman
Hughes that he did not accept
the appointment of commissioner
of Agriculture to till the unex
pired term of Commissioner
Price. He was once president of
the Georgia Agricultural Society
and is still in thorough sympathy
with the cause of agriculture, to
which he has given some of the
best years of his life. It is his
purpose to continue in congress
until the expiration of his term,
that he may be of further service
to his district and nation, being
a strong advocate of several
pieces of progressive legislation
which he hopes to see enacted
before the close of his term.
Practically every newspaper in
Georgia is raising funds for the
Wilson campaign. Thus far The
Monitor subscribers have done
but little. Ix*t the list be in
creased at once. No large
amounts an 1 asked. Every pa
triotic Democrat should appre
ciate the opportunity of con
tributing toward the success of
the Wilson administration. As
we have stated, these funds are
not for Mr. Wilson’s personal
benefit, but to help defray the
enormous expense of a national
campaign. Without a well-back
ed campaign, victory is uncer
tain; without Democratic victory, j
prosperity and national honor i
may suffer. •

President Wilson announces
for the first time that he feels
confident of being elected. Our
president is a man who weighs
everything carefully and imper
sonally before he speaks. His
statement means something.—
Dublin Courier-Herald.
The reason more people haven’t
mortgaged their homes for auto
mobile money is because they
didn’t possess the homes is right.
Heard me?—Wrightsville Head
light.
The Methodist church will
probably withstand the assaults
of the Macon Telegraph. That
church’s power and influence
throughout the world is sufficient
answer to the puerile attacks of
those who would crush it. The
Telegraph is to be pitied rather
than censured for its unfortunate
utterances.—Adel News.
Country newspapers are al
ready in “the middle of a bad
fix” with regard to the high
price of blank paper, and we do
not know what will become of
them if the above item sHbuld
prove true. Blank paper has ad
vanced one hundred per cent,
within the last six months, and
such an advance as is looked for
in 1917 will sound a death knell
to hundreds of struggling publi
cations throughout the country.

It kinder looks as if Mr. 801 l
Weevil is destined to meet with
strong opposition in Laurens.
Our farmers are already begin
ning to sow grain and lay plans
for diversified farming on a
larger scaje than ever before.
Laurens Citizens.
Down in Decatur county,
where the boll weevil is busy,
the farmers have shipped to the
packing houses, besides supply
ing the home market, a total of
eighty thousand dollars worth of
meat. Where the farmers are
doing this way there need be no
fear of starvation on account of
the appetite of the boll weevil. —
Lyons Progress.
Somebody told us the other
day that this paper wasn’t as
good as the one published in a
larger city. That may be, but
nevertheless the same erstwhile
skinflint has been begging ad
vertising ever since we started
business. Valdosta Times.
Senator Hoke Smith comes in
for a good deal of praise in the
new Democratic hand book re
cently issued for the part he has
taken in achieving the splendid
legislative record of the party.
Among the measures mentioned
in the hand book is the Agricul
tural College Extension Act, an
Act providing for a market di
vision of the department of agri
culture, both of which were
drawn by Senator Smith and are
of benefit to the farmer. —Spring
field Herald.
Thomas Jefferson said that the
chosen people of God are the peo
ple who till the soil and do their
work well. With everything the
farmer raises bringing sky-high
prices, it does kinder look like he
might be the specially favored
one.—Vidalia Advance.
Mr. Farmer, don’t overlook
your fall wheat crop. The pres
ent high prices of cotton may
cause you to forget that flour is
also rising in price. You may
well expect everything else to
keep pace with cotton in its up
ward tendency.—Telfair Enter-1

to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles £2B
