Ga.. Thursday Morning, Nov. 2, 1916. Mexican bandits, like prairie dogs, are difficult to exterminate. Hut little time to hold another massmeeting before the general election November 7th. It does not add anything to the fruitful qualities of apolitical egg to pronounce it a chick before the shell is cracked. Good fortune smiles on those who help themselves; the devil winks at those who will not bet ter themselves or accept aid from others. The selfish individual does not realize how much he misses while closed up in his little shell. Ti e big old world rolls on and the egotist does not hour the click of progress or the tramp of success. The tax man is again abroad in the land. The obligation of tax paying is the most difficult in the realm of citizenship, and a duty which even the most patriotic citizen enters into with a certain degree of reserved ness. Most of the criticisms offered by the Republican party seem to be of the balloon type easily punctured by truth and enlight enment. Teddy is credited with doing more than his share, and he is a worker in whatever field employed. Already those |'regressivecoun ties which have held county fairs are planning to enter more large ly into the enterprise for 1917. All of the counties surrounding Montgomery have had very suc cessful county shows. Fairs to the right of her, fairs to the left of her, but Montgomery is still unmoved a wretched example of civic stupidity. If you fail to go to the polls Tuesday and cast a vote for Wil son you have done an injustice to the South and to the Democratic party. If you fail to do this, you have, in a manner, deducted just that much from the “solid South." Again, in failing to vote the Democratic ticket, you substantiate the Yankee charge that the South is fickle and un stable. Do not shun a duty. Virginia’s prohibition law went into effect yesterday, and, like the plan adopted in Georgia just before the advent of prohibition, thousands of gallons have been stored away for future use. Pro hibition is a success in Georgia, regardless of opinions to the con trary. Thousands drink liquor, of course, just as men pursue other crimes, but the cause of prohibition is in the ascendency. | A pure blooded hog or cow is an asset to any farm, however small. During the past few years much interest has been manifest ed in stockraising in Montgomery county. The dipping vat is a I great aid to stockraising. In telligent cattlemen are agreed that it is a matter of feeding the cattle and securing results or: feeding the ticks and losing the cattle or the profits therefrom. Glynn county is going in heavi ly on satsuma oranges. Glynn county bears the distinction of having once had in its bounds a town (Frederica) whose streets were planted with rows of orange trees. And there once existed on St. Simons Island the largest oliye grove ever known in the South. Certain early citizens of this old county ranked as the foremost agriculturists in the I South, and it is hoped that the | orange and the olive will again blend their fragrant verdue with the marshes of Glynn.

There is very little of the educational in look ing at one of nature’s slip-ups and a trip through the average freak tents will give even an in toxicated man the blues. People attend the fair largely to be en tertained and amused and clean fun and the inspiration of a happy crowd are worth hours to exag gerated lectures on the mistakes of nature. — Dublin Courier-Her ald. John Hull believes that a coun try not engaged in the war should maintain strict neutrality, that is, if it can not be induced to be par tial to the said John Bull. — Springfield Herald. In creating a demand for an article neatness has lots to do with fixing a price at which it will sell. If properly prepared and put up neatly there is no reason why every gallon of cane syrup produced in South Georgia this year should not bring a dollar. One of the great troubles of the past is that our people have not given proper at tention to neatness in preparing syrup and other articles of that character for the city market.— Lyons Progress. Should the cost of living climb much higher it is a cinch that some newspaper men are going to have to take a mighty long siege of fasting. Wrightsville Headlight. Some auto drivers should not be allowed to own a car that will run faster than 15 miles an hour. Every day records terrible acci dents due to “speeding” of auto mobiles.—Monticello News. If the price of shoes continues to rise it would seem that in a short while it will be profitable to raise cattle for the hide alone. , There also seems to be a scarcity in beef cattle and it is a golden opportunity to start to raising cattle in this country.—Cochran Journal. Cotton seed was bringing sixty dollars a ton this week in the country and some say the top of the market has not yet been reached. Just think cotton seed at 3 cents a pound and only a few years ago they were con sidered almost worthless.—Bryan Enterprise. With packing plants going up all over the state the raising of cattle and hogs is going to receive a great impetus in this section of Georgia, and this will.mean great prosperity for the farmers. —Vi dalia Advance. You just can’t keep a good thing down—just now anyway. | Cotton continues to go up.— Da rien Gazette. The time is fast coming when ground peas will be in the first rank of farm products in Georgia. Perry Home Journal. We verily believe that the com ing of the boll weevil is going to spell prosperity for the farmers of this county. It is going to force them to diversify, and di versification is a synonym for prosperity, it matters not where it is practiced.—Butler Herald. In two weeks two Macon banks have sold out. Selling banks seems to be a pretty good busi ness just now, and we’re really very sorry that we haven’t got one to sell.—Swainsboro Forest- I Blade. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, NOV 2, 1916.
