THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR, MT. VERNON, GEORGIA.
Cotton Ginned in County
Prior to October 18th.
Report on the amount of cot
ton ginned in Montgomery coun
ty prior to October 18, as sup
plied by Collector of Statistics
W. C Langford, from thejDe
partment of Commerce, shows a
total of 6296 bales, as against
3070 bales ginned to the same
date of last year.

ginning was not interfered with
by unfavorable weather, and to
date the crop is practically out in
this county and section.
Makes Plea to Save
Old Houston County.
In their efforts to prevent the
division of Houston county, in
which the proposed Peach coun
ty would take more of the old
county than it leaves, and vastly
more of its wealth, the citizens
of Perry, joined by the citizens
of Macon county and other sym
pathizers in the adjoining coun
ties, have sent out quite a lot of
literature in which they ask their
friends to vote against the ratifi
cation of the new county.
Quite a lot of the literature
setting forth the facts in the
case, as sent to this county
from Perry, bears the name of a
former citizen of Montgomery
county, Mrs. J. W- Uhels, re
membered by many Montgomery
county friends as Mrs. W. H.
McQueen. She is very pleasant
ly located in Houston county, a
few miles south of Perry, where
they have considerable interests.
Her children, two sons and a
daughter, have their interests
well and profitably invested in
rich farm lands near Perry.
Mrs. Uhels having seen much
of the new county trouble before
leaving Montgomery county, asks
that her Montgomery county
friends will vote against the di
vision of Houston county, that
their property may not be sub
jected to higher taxation as a re
sult of having the greater and
better part of that county taken
away. They will appreciate the
efforts of their friends and ac
quaintances in this county to aid
them in the fight to retain the
county and preserve their prop
erty values.
OFFER MARK TWAIN REFUSED
Nothing Sadder, He la Reported to
Have Said, Than Editorship of
Humoroua Periodical.
About that time my wife helped me
put another temptation behind me.
Tide was an offer of sixteen thousand
dollars a year, for five years, to let
my name be used aa editor of a hu
inoroua periodical.
1 praise her for furnishing her help
In resisting that temptation, for It la
her due. There waa no temptation
about It, hi fact, but she would huve
offered her help Juat the auine If there
had been one. 1 can conceive of many
wild and extravagant things when my
Imagination la tu good repair, but I
can coucelve of nothing quite ao wild
and extravagant aa the Idea of my ac
cepting the editorship of a humoroua
periodical.
I should regard that aa the saddest
of all occupations. If I should under
take It 1 should have to add to It the
occupation of undertaker, to relieve
It lu some degree of Its cheerlessness.
—From "Unpublished Uhapters from
the Autobiography of Mark Twain" In
Harper's Magazine.
Where Long' Necke Are Stylish.
In Burma, among the Karens, a
long neck Is the ambition of every
woman Her mother starts thinking
about this when her daughter is h
baby, aud starts to accomplish this
awau-ltke effect when the tots are
scarcely able to walk.
, The method employed la a aeries
of heavy brass rings, which are as
thick as your little finger. These are
put around the child’s neck, aud as
she grows, more rings are added, thus
forcing her neck to lengthen out.
More rings are added year after year
as the girl grows Into womanhood.
Twenty-one of these colla la the aver
age worn, although SB have been
achieved.
The 21-rlng-collared woman is
thought beautiful, hut the '.IS-rlnged
lady la considered a raving beauty
under the Karens of Burma.
