Mount Vernon, Ga.. Thursday Morning, December 30, 1920.
When, 0 When, will this holi- j
day spirit wear off? In order to
make our wail understood, we
refer to the loafing spirit, and
not that variety being transported
in fruit jars.
The Chicago woman who is
putting on a campaign against
the cigarette, begins with Presi
dent-elect Harding, who is a pa
tron of the habit. She evidently
believes at beginning at the top
round.
The fact that there is in hand
enough unspunned cotton to last
the world two years should make
some impression on the farmer
who is not yet convinced that it
is unprofitable to grow too much
of the staple another year.
There will be held in Atlanta
February 8 and 9 a grand suffrage
conclave. Do not know whether
the ladies are making arrange
ments for 1922 or 1924. Suffice
it to say that the ways and means
committees will carry full mem
bership. '

President Wilson celebrated
his sixty-fourth birthday Tues
day. For the past half a dozen
years his life has been fraught
with more responsibilities and
perplexities of a national nature
than have ever fallen to the lot
of any man.
The new year will not bring
anything better, unless you go
out after it. This idea that good
things come to men who wait is
a snare and a delusion. Be up
and doing, with a heart for any
t isk. It is diligence that moves
obstacles and gets a man some
where in life and achievement.
The anniversary number of the
Christian Index is a most credit
able number. It is a centennial
issue, and covers the work of the
Baptist church in Georgia for the
past hundred years or more. The
Index is the organ of that de
nomination in Georgia and is
owned by the church. No mem
ber of the Baptist church should
be without a copy of the special
number of the Index.
Road and bridge building in the
Twelfth district is being pushed
uteadily, and within another year
facilities for rapid and comfort
able travel in this section of the
state will be up to the most pro
gressive standard. For the work
completed and under way a mil
lion and a-half dollars will be
spent. The federal government
is paying half of the cost of con
struction.
The holiday season has not
been without its round of acci
dents and fatalities, most of them
of the preventable kind guns
that were thought to have been
unloaded, automobiles that were
thought to be self steering, liquor
that was thought* to be harmless,
and fire that was supposed to
burn without producing pain and
death. All this may be included
in the fatalities of life, but the
idea of precaution is still feebly
existing.
The Duroc Jersey sale by Rich- j
mond & McArthur January 7th
will be the largest ever held in ;
this section. This sale of thor
oughbred hogs should prove an j
inspiration to the farmers and
stockraisers. Something like $20,-
000 worth of high-grade stock
offered in a sale was never before
heard of in Montgomery county, |
and the success of this stock farm ;
is a tribute to the foresight and j
energy of the promoters. Stock j
from this farm has gone to every I
part of the United States. 1
