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. • ffYYTYTTTYfYfVffffYffffff• £ Georgia State < £ 4 > Press Expressions. J t 4 • AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUA 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. - Monticello News. 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 prise. 1 THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, OCT 20. 1916. Sheriff Sale. Georgia—Montgomery County.
