Mount Vernon, Ga.. Thursday Morning, March 27, 1919. To the credit of Georgia, many counties are taking steps toward permanent road building. Recent high water will no doubt bring profitable fishing, even if it becomes necessary to accustom the fish to a modified form of bait. The past week of sunshine has added greatly to the crop pros pect. In fact, spring sunshine contribute# to almost any pros pect. The Johnson County News gives lengthy views on why peo ple do not go to church. Pretty tough problem for a new paper to handle. Advance the time a few more hours, and some of these habitual sleepers will be getting up in time for breakfast. The change, how ever, would probably not inter fere with the evening meal, whatever the clock may indicate. Wide awake and patriotic Americans will be ready for the Fifth Liberty Loan, beginning April 21. The growlers and grouchers are already sounding a note of warning that the war is over, yet few of them can lay claim to any material effort to ward bringing about victory. Evans county will hold a bond election April 19 with a view of raising funds for the erection of a court house and jail and for road purposes. The money spent in purchasing the average new county would build two or three respectable court houses and many miles of good roads, with a jail thrown in for good measure. The chautauqua may increase the community spirit, but its ef fect is too temporary. The high ly paid adviser may earn his compensation, but it remains for the people of a community to pro mote measures for the real prog ress of a town or section. Paid lecturers and entertainers fur nish commendable suggestions, and after a season their auditors are ready for the routine. Again the question: Why not a South Georgian for governor? Repetion of the question does not gain anything for South Georgia. South Georgia, as a whole does not care for the honor, otherwise she could have enjoyed it a feu times during the past eighty or more years. In recent years South Georgia has had opportu nity of supporting a South Geor gian for the governorship. Did Bhedoit? No. After all it appears that the peace conference may be forced to adopt strenuous measures for calming the spirits of some of the European nations. Rivers of blood and the lives of millions of men do not seem to have been convincing enough. If Germany is at the root of recent troubles, and indications point to a Hunnish undercurrent, it again emphasizes the idea that this nation should have been wiped olf the map while the mopping was in order. Now and then you find a man who appreciates his county pa per, but that does not seem to affect the other ninety-nine per cent. Os late many of the coun try weeklies of the state have been taking the ungrateful public to task about this matter, but the result is about equal with that obtained by sprinkling a greased goose with water. If the average newspaoer man would adopt some plan by which he could prevent the public from robbing him, he would gain more appreciation, and at least enough support to call a living. ? rYTYYYYYYfYTYY? ▼TVf’TTTT* • > Georgia State 2 t Press Expressions. J •AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA* The very important problem of securing better roads is furnish ing food for thought among the people of Monroe county. We are heartily in favor of wise and progressive action along this line. What such action involves and what will be the results should be thoroughly understood by the citizens, and in several of the editorials which follow we are venturing to express our opinions in regard to some phases of the subject.—Monroe Advertiser. Whv is it, a careless seven year old kid can drop a half burned match in an alley and burn up all the barns in a block, while an able bodied man has to use up a whole box of matches to get a wood fire started in a heater that has enough draft to draw all the fur ture up the stove pipe?- Nash ville Herald. Every temptation resisted, every noble aspiration encourag ed, every sinful inclination re pressed, every bitter word with held adds its little item to the impetus ol that great momentum which is bearing us and all hu manity onward toward a richer life, a higher character and a nobler destiny.—Butler Herald. We understand that an election will soon be called for the pur pose of voting on bonds for the erection of a court house and jail. We are heartily in favor of bonds and think the majority of the vo ters are of the same mind. So perton News. The business house which is forced to depend on the railroads for shipments of materials or stocks is engaged in a game of chance, with the chances pre dominating in favor of getting nothing when it is needed. All that is necessary to make a vio lent and uncompromising oppo nent of government ownership and operation of railroads is to try one shipment over them for any distance. An ox and cart are far more rapid and certain means of transportation.—Metter Ad vertiser. The various and sundry govern ment bureaus and agencies seem to think that the country news paper is operated without cost for their sole benefit. They even go so far as to ask the country newspapers to publish matter concerning their public sales of livestock while at the same time they pay the dailies for large dis play advertisements. That's some gall, all right.- Lyons Progress. The Enterprise again warns the city authorities against the speeding of youngsters driving automobiles in the city limits. On certain streets thirty miles per hour is no unusual rate. Very small children playing on side walks are liable to be out in the street when these reckless drivers come by and unless it is stopped it is only a matter of time when some one will bo seriously hurt. —Telfair Enterprise.
