Mount Vernon, Ga.. Thursday Morning, August 21, 1919. No use in beating the tambou rine and yelling \frolf. This ani mal is yet in the tall timber. About as difficult to adjust the peace terms as to bring about a cessation of hostilities, including the licking of the Germans. Anything for a change in busi ness. The employes seem about ready ttf take the railroads out of the hands of the government, re lieving the owners of this deli cate task. The greatest asset to any coun try-good roads. Public funds, by whatever process raised, can not be spent for greater and more lasting good. Progress can travel on nothing but good roads. No, growlers are not popular; j but the grand trouble is this; There are not sufficient optimists to hist the tune above that of the kickers. Gents, pitch her a little above G and sing on, and let all join in the chorus. “ It is safe to say no great num ber of ex-soldiers placed orders the first three days of this week • for any of Uncle Sam’s canned rations, or anything else calcu lated to have come from a gov ernment storehouse. The bill of fare offered them was too con stant during the war. The high cost of existing has held the boards for the past year or more, and will still be a stand by, but Georgians, under the new time effective after the 21st, will be provided with a new theme for discussion and to which they will be called on to adjust themselves. Anything for a change—even our Waterburys will enjoy it. the potter’s field be the resting place of the man too in dolent to earn his daily bread Never has the world offered such manifold opportunities to the man willing to work. In fact, the man who is not willing to work can scarcely find sufficient excuse to clothe his indifference toward labor. This class of cat tie should be allowed to perish. Many farmers have blamed the newspapers for extending too much advice, under the heading by them termed "newspaper farming." But sufficeth it to say, it is no longer necessary for any country paper to say boll weevil. Even though a man has 1 never plowed a furrow, he is suf ficiently acquainted with the sub ject to realize that a change is necessary for the well-being of the country. The farmer as sumes that the newspaper man can live without subscribers, and likewise the newspaper man may well tell the farmer that he can live without boll weevils. In this case, who wins? Well the newspaper. The recent session of the grand jury recommended the employ ment of a county farm demonstra tor for Montgomery county. For years we have advocated such, and still believe that any pro gressive Georgia county can as ford a competent man. Next year will doubtless be a critical period in the farming industry of Georgia. As a result of the rav ages of the boll weevil, it is quite probably that diversified forms of agriculture will be practiced as never before, and skilled advice on certain crops adapted to this section may be acceptable to the average farmer. Let the demon strator be employed —not a quack or a sport fiend, but a skilled ad- j viser, capable of producing prac tical results, and a man in whom the farmers can place confidence. »YYYYYYfYYYfTYfY»Y»YTYTTf• ► < ► Georgia State ◄ ► < t Press Expressions. ◄ * 3 • AAA A AAAAAAA A A AAAAAAAAAAAA ’ Just how Uncle Sam and Pres-; ident Wilson are going to force! all food prices back to normal we | do not know. But it should be done must be done—if the fu-! tur*' of this country is not to be seriously menaced. Nashville Herald. Mention has been made of thej fact that present day drugstores carry in stock a varied line rang ing from sandwiches to instru ments of music while drugs are handled as accessories. Uncle Sam, not to be outdone, is bent upon making bankers and grocery clerks or postal employes as no small part of the work of the postoffice will be taken up with government securities and bacon. Monroe Advertiser. Sooner or later the United States government has got to boss the unions or give them the I government. We are not criti cising the demand of the railroad brotherhoods; there may be much justice in them, but the threats contained make the demand more than an ordinary dispute between laborers and capitalists.—Butler i Herald. A man who has lived with his wife for forty years, remarked that there had only been one time when they had agreed. This was when the house caught on fire and they agreed that the best thing for them to do was to get out as qucikly as possible. We are acquainted with some women who are so confounded contrary till they had rather get considerably scorched than to agree with their husband even long enough to get out of the lire. Swains boro Forest-Blade. All the towns and every part! of Cook countv are prospering. 1 New buildings are going up all around and new people are mov ing in from different parts of the State. The ring of the saw and hammer makes mighty good music. —Adel News. It is remarkable that the Geor gia legislature can hold a fifty-day session every year and fail to. make so many much needed re forms in existing laws. A case in point is one which came to notice here this week, involving the labor contract, law. Under existing statutes a farm hand may obtain from his employer, money in any amount on any pretext, and then walk away ! without fear of punishment in a criminal court. This is fine pro tection —for the dishonestly in clined. Metter Advertiser. The great increase of tax re turns all over the state would in dicate that there had been pro gress and prosperity in spite of war taxes and philanthropic ex penditures in connection with the j war. Honest tax returns would solve the state’s lack of funds to pay all its obligations promptly.— Marietta Journal. If Georgia gets a system of good roads it seems to be the idea of the members of the Gen eral Assembly that the auto own- > ers will have to pay for them. A tax on gasolene and a tax on cars is to do the w’ork, but we are willing just so we get the system of good roads. Springfield Her ald. What makes a woman want to juggle the furniture around the house about once a month, and put one piece where another piece was? It is very disheartening to come home late and try to go to bed on the chiffonier. Easman Times-Journal. I THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, AUGUST 21, 1910. For Sale.
