A 1915 editorial argues the city must make school system reform the top priority. It warns of overcrowded high schools, aging firetraps, and unsafe conditions if expansion is not funded by September, urging council to safeguard public health and address the schools first.
The Constitution reports three Milledgeville firms secured the year’s beef contract for the state sanitarium at Milledgeville. Price is 90 cents per pound, with about 1500 pounds of beef per year. Contractors aim to source locally from Baldwin County, aligning with a broader shift from cotton to beef production in Georgia.
State Farm could supply enough beef to feed a small city within the sanitarium and potentially earn a slight profit. A statewide push would promote home livestock, with bulletins on progress and lessons, as Georgia leverages long feeding seasons and rich soil. Milledgeville hosts a farm demonstration plant to showcase profits and entice farmers to follow the example.
A local contractor's advertisement in The Constitution urges immediate building and repairs under a waiting schedule to aid artisans and stimulate jobs. The piece argues that cheaper materials and abundant labor create a prime investment, benefiting both workers and builders, with winter hardships noted for the urban unemployed. It links national events and weather to a broader call for proactive construction.
A poetic passage evokes Georgia and the Land of Plenty with imagery of storms, dawn, and hopeful mornings. It contrasts darkness and winter with a promised May, Thanksgiving joy, and harbor lights, inviting readers to a welcoming future in unclouded morning glory.
Editor proclaims golden November days for hunting and shooting a hunter or guide with buckshot in thick underbrush. Rousing call to break from office chairs and chase freedom with gun and beltful shells. Be'er Varkey line warns of traitors and hunger for reform. Temperance sermon quotes and moonshine line conclude troubled speech.
A collage of quotes and quips from editorials and columns. Humor, social observation, and rural tidbits mix with jokes about politeness, weather, and the value of money. Notable lines reference the Clinton Tribune on virtue and the Kansas City Star’s Down-and-Out list, alongside brief notes from The minence Current Ware and local ink Saturday chatter.
The Holland Letter analyzes London's chancellor Lloyd George projected two year war loan, noting it may mirror Civil War borrowing in scale while boosting American business. It cites rising U S exports, payroll demands, and large foreign credits as signs of revived activity, with New York shipments to Europe up significantly in October and mid November. Exports from New York to Europe show strong gains, while trade with Germany and Austria diminishes. The piece suggests American industry will be stimulated by wartime purchases and predicts a broad domestic revival by January.
A narrator speaks of a pessimistic relative Mr Skeptic who drains morale with rent due next Monday. Despite labor and plans to save, doubt lingers, souring mood on the eve of payment as workers vow to persist through weariness and pressure.
Miss Jessie Muse, principal, warns 600 additional students will be turned away next September unless a new building is added. The Girls High School capacity is 300, yet 725 are enrolled with 80 seniors leaving and 115 dropping out early. About 841 seventh and eighth graders seek admission yearly, but space won’t exist for many. Heating is inadequate despite fourteen furnaces, disrupting classes including a 120 girl music class split across rooms.
A compendium of war era anecdotes includes a mother’s longing for her soldier son and an angel’s five minute glimpse. Reports describe trench shelters named like hotels, road barricades, and nocturnal enemy activity. Also chronicled are transcontinental railroad milestones, theft training in India, and Alaska’s mineral values through 1919.
An opinion piece critiques American trade zeal during wartime, arguing editors boastful of market gains mock human suffering. It warns invective toward enemies harms U S standing abroad and urges restrained, humane commerce rather than wartime grab, emphasizing quiet exports over prize-won spoils.
The Atlanta Georgian and The Constitution demand urgent action to provide adequate high school facilities for Boys and Girls high schools as enrollment climbs. Delays risk hundreds of pupils being turned away next September, prompting calls for timely, decisive measures to protect the city’s public school system.
