Mount Vernon. 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.

If we had our way there would
never be another “freak" shown
at a fair in Dublin. 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.
