WHERE BLOOD TELLS.
A dispatch from Moutrie tells of the sale there
last week of a carload of steers which brought nine
cents per pound, as against three cents per pounc
paid for native steers from the ranges. The ani
mals sold were three-quarter Hereford, were grass
raised and grass fattened, but were finished lor a
few weeks on dry feed. They were shipped, we are
told, from a farm that had experimented in cross
breeding pure Hereford bulls with native cows.
The average weight of the steers in the car was
1000 pounds, and the average price per head was
$95.40. They were three years old.
Contrast the price received for these steers
with the $lB that cattle men generally get for na
tive steers three years old and weighing about 600
pounds, and the lesson of how blood tells in cattle
breeding is brought forcibly home. With the erad
ication of the cattle tick in South Georgia, cattle
men, by crossing pure-bred bulls with native cows,
can triple their income at little additional expense.

LOOKING PROSPEROUS.
The Montgomery Monitor came to us last week
bright and newsy in its six pages of home print,
and having a prosperous and successful appearance
from the amount of local advertising carried in its
columns.
Announcement is made by Editor H. B. Fol
som that he has leased the paper to Messrs. Her
man Mcßride and Charley Abt, two young men of
Mt. Vernon, trained in the printing craft under the
tutelage of Mr. Folsom. Mr. Folsom will be as
sociated with them and will do general editorial
work for the paper.
The combination ought to be a winning one
and if the business men of Mt. Vernon continue
to give their home paper the fine patronage to
which it is entitled and toward which end they have
made such an auspicious start, we expect to see the
Monitor one of the best weeklies in this section of
the state. >

HUMILIATING.
It must be rather humiliating to live in a-city
where a lot of work is being turned off for the fu
ture prosperity of the city and not be able to say:
“I had a share in the accomplishment of that.”
A man’s first duty is to his family and to his
business. But the really successful business man
is one who is capable enough to attend to his own
business and then have some capacity left over for
public affairs. The man who can see no farther
into the future than the direct returns from strict
attendance upon his own business, can not see far
enough to visualize the time when events will have
swept beyond his own business.
A man’s business is affected by every financial
event that occurs in the city. He must study in
ter-relations. He must do his part in making ev
erything prosper, if he wishes to get the full pros
perity for his own business.
It must be humiliating to have no share in the
work for general prosperity; humiliating because it
is a confesson of narrowness of outlook, of lazi
ness of character, of indolence in thought, and of
an indifference that amounts to business suicide.
Unfortunately the humiliation can not he kept
secret. The workers in a city are well known.—

NO MOVE CONTEMPLATED.
The Advance carried last week a story from the
Douglas Enterprise with reference to the possibility
of the removal of the general offices of the Georgia
& Florida Railway from Augusta, this paper stating
that the offices were to be moved and that the
choice of location lay between Douglas and Val
dosta .
A quiet investigation of this rumor has been
made by members of the Vidalia Kiwanis Club and
they are informed that no move is contemplated by
the G. & F. management; further that the lease
on the present quarters occupied by the offices in
Augusta has one more year to run, and while it is
impossible to say what next year might bring
forth, the offices will not be moved while the lease
is in force.
If the time ever comes when the management
of the road considers a change of location, Vklalia
expects to make a strong pull to land these general
offices for this city, but there seems to be no like
lihood of any change for the next twelve months.

GO AFTER THEM, CHIEF.
Despite the city ordinances againsnt the sweep
ing of waste paper and litter upon the streets, a
number of business firms continue to sweep waste
paper out on the streets in front of their places of
business, and vet more sweep the waste out on the
back alleys without making any effort to provide a
receptacle for their trash and waste.
The result is that the streets and alleys in the
business section of the city present anything but a
sightly appearance.
Here is some fine work for Chief Mallard to
do and we want to see him go after these offend
ers. As long as such an ordinance is among the
ordinances of the town it ought to be enforced, and
if one or two cases were made against offenders
this practice would quickly come to an end. May
or Jackson could start with small fine*, for a small
fine would be sufficient to convince the offending
business firms that it would pay them to have a re
ceptacle in the rear of their stores for litter and
waste paper.
We hope our city authorities will try enforcing
this ordinance referred to and see if in one week’s
time it does not result in a great improvement in
the appearance of the business section of .our city.

BUILDING PROSPERITY.
Turner county has been much in the limelight
the past year, because they were one of the first
counties in South Georgia to realize that the dairy
cow offered the best means to agricultural prosper
ity. Not only are they growing hogs, cattle and
poultry, producing cream and making progress in
other lines, but they are unusually well organized
for co-operative effort along educational lines. Re
cently they formulated a program for the one-horse
farm and for the county as a whole to be followed
next year. These programs are of special interest
to every farmer and they are given below;*
One horse farm unit—Three to six producing
cows, pure bred recommended; two to three good
sows, pure bred recommended; twenty to forty
brood hens, pure bred recommended; 10 acres in
corn, velvet beans and N. C. peanuts; 5 acres in
oats, followed with peas or other hay crop; 4 acres
in wheat, followed with Spanish peanuts; 5 acres
in Spanish peanuts, or watermelons, or divided with
tobacco; 3 acres in sweet potatoes and cane ; 4 acres
in cotton, followed early with grain; 12 acres in
permanent carpet grass, Dallis grass and lespedeza.
Turner county’s objectives for year 1923—In
crease in cream production to 100,000 pounds per
month, increase in hog production to 15 cars per
month; increase in poultry production to 2 cars per
month ; increase in acreage to 25 per cent over 1922 ;
increase in membership Calf Club to 100 members ;
increase in membership Pig Club to 250 members ;
increase in Girls Canning Club 150 members; in
crease in Girls Poultry Club to 200 members; in
crease in membership to Farm Bureau to 800 mem
bers ; increase in Boards of Trade to 100 per cent;
permanent pastures on every farm ; 200 new farm
families during 1923.

NEIGHBORS WERE
ASTONISHED HI
CHANGE IH HER
“I had lost nearly all faith in medi
cines, but I am thankful a thousand
times over that I ever believed in
Tanlac strong enough to try it,” re
cently said Mrs. Martha Baker, 508
East Sixth Street, Gastonia, N. C.
“My daughter thinks I might not be
here now if I had not used Tanlac,
and no doubt she is right, for I was
failing pretty fast. The lightest kind
of food hurt me and many times I
could not retain anything 1 would
eat. I was also fearfully nervous,
couldh’t sleep, and got up mornings
completely worn out.
"After I go Tanlac I improved so
rapidly that my neighbors were as
tonished and wanted to know what I
was doing for myself. I am just like
a new person now and I know at
least a dozen people who have taken
Tanlac and got well on account of
what it did for me.”
Tanlac is sold by all good drug-
gists.
A TONIC
Grove’s Tasteless chill Tonic restores
Energy and Vitality by Purifying and
Enriching the Blood. When you feel its
strengthening, invigorating effect, see how
it brings color to the cheeks and how
it improves the appetite, you will then
appreciate its true tonic value.
Grove's Tasteless* chill Tonic is simply
Iron and Quinine suspended in syrup. So
pleasant even children like it. The blood
npeds QUININE to Purify it and IRON to

A VIDALIA MAN’S EXPERIENCE.
Can you doubt the evidence of this
Vidalia citizen?
You can verify Vidalia endorsement.
Read this:
A. F. Sawyer, 104 First street, Vi
dalia, says: “Some years ago I had
an attack of kidney trouble. My back
was very lame and sore and my kid
neys were weak and irregular in ac
tion. I heard of Doan’s Kidney Pills
land got a supply and when I had fin
ished taking them I was entirely
cured of this trouble. I haev used
Doan’s’ on a few occasions since as
a preventive and have alwys receiv
ed the same fine results. Doan’s
surely are reliable.
Price 60c at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that !
