Two things to drive away care
—the bird season is open, and
Andy Gump was recently nomi
nated for congress, with the
prospect of taking his seat after
the called session.
Morbidity and bosh! What
place has a picture of Ex-Kaiser
Bill or his newly-married wife,
accompanied by a society-tinged
writeup, on the pages of an
American daily. Let this wretch
sink into oblivion, even if he saw
fit to marry again. The wor d
gains nothing from the acts of
this banished man of blood, and
Americans should find no time
for observing his acts, of what- j
ever nature.
Area considered, Montgorm ry !
county contains more valuable
farming land than any county in
South Georgia. Varied soii i'-Ti
a great extent responsible for
this outstanding value. Many
farms in the county contain soils j
adapted to anything that can he
grown in this section. This is
the opinion of those who are fa
miliar with the natural resourcesj
of the county, and who have had
occasion to compare it with the
farm lands of other parts of
Georgia and of other Southern
states. But the day of intensive
cultivation and diversification has
not yet dawned on this county, i
It is approaching, however.
Senator Newberry of Michigan, I
reputed to have bought his seat
in the U. S. Senate, tenders his
resignation and will ldavo that
august body at once. 11s rode in
on a flood-tide of vice and cor
ruption, and doubtless the Sen
ate will take no cognizance of his;
departure, He was an Achan of
the Republican camp, and his
four-year service reflected no
credit on himself or his party
in fact, the presence of such a
reprobate in national councils
was nothing for the United Sta
tes to he proud of. Michigan
would have done herself proud
by sending Henry Ford to the |
Senate instead of this man who
evidently robbed Ford of the
honor to which lie was entitled.
What’s in a name? This ques
tion is age-old, and doubtless will
never grow into disuse. If no i
regard is had for derivation, sig
nificance or application, one name
may be as well as another for or- J
dinary use, but ordinarily proper
names, at least, have a meaning.
Up jumps one of the big Georgia
dailies and intimates that a cer
tain little town in Georgia bears
an Indian name, when, as a mat
ter of fact and common knowl-j
edge, the name is distinctly.tier- 1
man, and accepted as such by
the citizens of that town. This
recalls to our mind that several
years ago a writer in another
Georgia daily very pleasantly
commented on the name of a vil
lage just six miles removed from
the town bearing the German
name, avowing that it was purely ]
an Indian name, when as a mat
ter of fact the name grew out of
a baby’s effort to call the name
of an older brother. The child
ish prattle became a name and
the family owning the little vil
lege bestowed the baby-made
name on it —no more Indian in
form than it is Eg> ptian or Greek.
These errors arose through men
talking about matters of which
they knew nothing, and as far as
we are concerned their mistake
is pardonable—but just why they
should both light on this particu
lar section to pick out Indian
names which do not exist and
have never existed, we will doubt
less never know.
The jury trying the Ex-Gover-
Catts case was ready to return
i its verdict in just nine minutes.
Could not have reached a decis
ion in a more unique period of
time. Members of the feline
tribe are said to have nine lives,
and while Sidney J. in the Di
vino order of things has only one,
it has been filled to overflowing
with ups and downs. He must
be what some of the boys would
term a rounder.

There are various reasons for
the hearty observance of Thanks
giving in this country this year,
i America has made wonderful
progress since January 1 and in
a business way is more stabilized
than in several years. Then, too,
are the greater blessings; life it
self, and the spiritual privileges
accorded to man, alone, of all
created beings. —lndustrial In

Once upon a time the office
sought the man. But now, we

A few of the little weekly pa
pers of Georgia are trying now
to ride to fame on picking up the
tactics of the Columbia Sentinel.
They are trying to get on the
same style with the hopes that
they may some day be recognized
is the power that the Sentinel
has been during Mr. Watson’s
control of it, but they’ll never do
it. It takes more than a desire
to do things of this kind—it takes
brains. We said “little” papers
in the outset because we believe
that any paper is a “little” paper
which has not the guts to be the
father of its own opinion without
the aid of having to copy from
someone else.—Swainsboro For
