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.

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.

All the towns and every part!

New buildings are going up all

ing in from different parts of the

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

What makes a woman want to
