THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, AUGUST ‘J, 1917.
New Mail Carrier
Mt. Vernon Route.
After a service of many years
as carrier of Route No. 1 and
Route No. 2, Mt. Vernon, and
since these routes have been com
bined, Mr. J. L. Adams has re
tired from the service. He has
been a faithful and untiring work
er, and his many friends regret
to see his retirement.
Mr. C. B. Cummings, for j
many years with Mcßae Bros. &
McLemore, succeeds Mr. Adams,
and yesterday entered on his new
duties. Mr. Cummings is a train
ed business man, of very genteel
bearing, and no doubt will make
a successful carrier.
The Absence of the
Editor is Understood.
For many years the editor of
The Montgomery Monitor has
been forced to spend his summers
in Atlanta appealing to the mem
bers of the general assembly to
spare Montgomery county from
further division. During his ab
sence, the county paper has not
measured up to the standard us
ually maintained. News and ed
itorial matter have been lacking,
and almost every phase of the
business neglected, to the utter
loss of the paper and the incon
venience to many of its patrons.
However, it is felt that the ma
jority of its patrons are willing
to overlook its shortcomings while
it is engaged in a desperate effort
to save the county from ruination.
No censure comes from any one
except the benefit seekers, and
this class of growlers has existed
from time immemorial; they will
continue to growl when met with
honest and fearless opposition, or
when their questionable schemes
are brought to light.

grand and petit jury drawn for

FARM LOANS.
Our present business was es
tablished by our predecessors in
1882, thirty-five years ago, and
we are today doing business with
the same people as at the begin
ning. Our records will show that
during the past twenty years,
there has not been a day when
we have not had approved loans
in process of being closed, and
there has not been a day during
that time when business of the
right sort was delayed for lack of
funds. The explanation of this
: record is that from the beginning,
and without variation, our busi
ness has been characterized by
efficiency, good faith, and clean
methods. No investor has ever
claimed that we had knowingly
sacrificed his interests to our own.
and no borrower has ever claim
ed justly that we had misled him
with false promises or worked
any hurt to him for our own pro
fit. Our methods having been
perfected by years of experience;
all applicants can learn without
delay whether we can or cannot
accommodate them. The dis
patch with which we dispose of
business, favorably or unfavor
ably, is unsurpassed if equaled
by any people in our line. Our
rates are reasonable and all con
ditions favorable to borrowers.
Our supply of money is abundant
and seemingly inexhaustible. If
, interested, call on or communi
cate with
