A BOON TO
STOCK INDUSTRY
County Secures Expert for
Cholera Treatment—
Dipping.
After considerable delay, on
account of not receiving the
necessary chemicals, cattle dip
ping began in Montgomery county
last week, as shown by the sched
ule published in the county paper.
These dates began with the Ist
and run through the 17th, cover
ing all vats in the county. These
dates will be followed each four
teen days throughout the dipping
season, and stock raisers are
urged to keep in mind the dates
for the respective vats. Thus,
if dip Ding occurred on the 3d,
the next date for that point will
be the 17th and so on.
Dipping at the Mt. Vernon vat
was to have been held March 31,
but on account of the rain, had
to be carried over to the Ist.
This, however, does not change
the original date for this place,
and the next date for Mt. Ver
non will be April 14th, and not
the 15th. In other words, the
dates are to be computed from
the original dates as given by Dr.
Stoker in the last issue of The
Monitor, unless otherwise chang
ed by him.
Dr. Peter F. Bahnsen, state
veterinarian, spent Tuesday in
Mt. Vernon in conference with
Board of Commissioners of Roads
and Revenues.
As a result of plans made by
the Department, Montgomery and
Toombs will have the services of
an expert for the administration
of hog cholera serum, and his
assignment to this territory will
be made at once.
Thus the farmers and stock
raisers of this section will be able
to have hogs treated on short
notice. The cost of the serum
will necessarily be borne by the
owner of the stock, as usual, but
the services of the expert will be
furnished by the Federal and
State departments.
Commencement Exercises

On Thursday evening, April
22nd, at 7:30 there will be a pro

Then on Friday evening at 7:30
o’clock there will be the closing
program rendered by the young
people of the community. Every
body invited to come and bring
some one with you.

Principal.

New Stretch
Public Road .
The county road force, under
the supervision of Supt. C. F.
Ferrell has recently completed a
magnificent piece of public road
in the southeastern part of the
county, running from Alston to
Petros at the Toombs county line.
This entire stretch of road has
been widened, bridged and put
in first-class shape, and will be
a great benefit to the citizens of
that section of the county. From
Alston this road runs to Uvalda
and on to the ferry on the Al
tamaha river.
As The Monitor took occasion
to remark some weeks ago, it is
considered by many travelers that
Montgomery county has the best
system of public roads in South
Georgia, and it is hoped the work
can be advanced to even higher
standards of perfection. In this
part of the state the natural in
gredients, clay and sand, are
well balanced for road construc
tion.

HOLD PRIMARY
ON APRIL 20
Volunteers May Hold Pref
erential Primary in
Montgomery.
In this issue will be seen a call
from Chairman Hutcheson of the
County j Democratic Executive
Committee asking the members
of the committee to meet onfthe
13th for the purpose of making
plans for holding the Preferen
tial Primary in.this county on the
20th inst.
Until quite recently interest in
| the Presidential primary has lag
i ged, and in many counties it was
doubtful if it would be held. In
other counties volunteers have
(expressed their determination to
! hold in their respective counties.
There being no appropriation
for defraying the expenses inci
dent to holding such an election,
it was hoped that enough men
would volunteer their services in
Montgomery county—arid this
will doubtless be done.
The candidates for the presi
dential nomination in Georgia
are Tom Watson, Hoke Smith, of
Georgia, and U. S. Attorney Gen
eral A. Mitchell Palmer of Penn
sylvania.
Under a possible agreement
between the three candidates,
t ey will defray the expenses of
holding the election throughout
the state. This, however, is in
consistent to demand, and it is
quite possible that in the majori
ty of counties sufficient volun
teers, chosen from among the
supporters of the several candi
dates, will hold the election with
out charge.
FOR CONGRESS.
To the People of the 12th Con
gressional District:
I am a candidate for Congress
from the 12th Congressional Dis
trict of Georgia, under such rules
and regulations as our party may
prescribe in the Democratic Pri
mary to be held Sept. 8, 1920.
Membership in Congress is a post
of honor and service. In a period
of transition and disturbance its
importance cannot be over esti
mated. The efficient and prompt
adjustment of the problems of
the nations is very vital to the
general welfare. Believing in
the old “Democratic Principles"
of economy and faithful service,
I respectfully solicity your sup
port. Roscoe Peacock.
