Tke Goins In Monroe.
Monkok County, Ga.
July 0, 1908.
I fiivd this, the southern part of
itlie county, worse torn lip by rains
or cloudbursts than any country
/ have over noticed. Pretty and
VaUnlike creek bottom lands are
now covered with great piles of
debris, lakes arid large banks of
sand-wuiued beyond reclaim
for farming purposes, The up¬
lands have roads washed up and
down Hie hillsides. Terraces and
ffiUfioa were worthless. While
lire roots of dead stalks of cotton
and corn lie exposed to view on
tire hills, in the lower places sand
aud soil are banked up two feet
high, cohering the little cotton
cniflpletejly, o.nd leaving only the
tops of eorp sticking out. In cases
of backwater corn ten feet high
was completely submerged. The
stalksaro now standing perfectly
erect, with stingy looking tassels
and without a blade ,o,r shoot.
Anyone can., with impunity, walk
through such corn without ,the
least fear of harm : it will neyer
slioot. I doubt if it is even load-,
od. Some of thiseorn reminds me
of a fellow who has had typhoid
fever aud his hairall dropped out.
Roads are almost impassabb on
account of ruts, gullies and holes
made by the weather man’s ex¬
cess of tailing juice. I find no
Wind. That abominable bother-
ntion was washed off to some oth-
er part of the world.
Peaches and apples are scarce,
but pears, figs and grapes are plen¬
tiful. After depriving a peach of
its Scotch-American outer coat,
preparatory for tho palate, if lias
to be carefully dissected lest you
tangle up with some of the lazy,
careless, indifferent-looking Lilli¬
putian inhabitants.
Crops outside of this deluged
section look about like those of
Jones county. Some are clean and
looking well, others clean but
small, others still are severely
mixed up with grass and weeds.
In deiqu-rate cases I find some
crops turned out to graze.
1 find tiie flea crop simply c-plu-
ribus uiiuin. They torture human¬
ity da}’and night. After diligent
effort to make a leopard of you,
,to spots, while you give them a
z;ub now and then in order to hur¬
ry tin-in up, they proceed to crawl
in a very careful manner
.Lq count the spots, while you wish
yOff liad the job so it could be
completed with less ceremony.
I (ipd a real joke floating around
like this; A man hard of hearing
aud having to use an car tube had
a misunderstanding with a man
who could hear all right. During
the quarrel the ear tube bad to be
used, which brought the two ver¬
bal pugilists into close proximity
to each other. After the quarrel
had readied a very white heat
the two men had advertised them¬
selves well before the public by
the Btorm of sulphuric sparks
floating around in the air abov-
tliem, the one who could hear well
called tiie other a liar, whereupon
the car trumpet man knocked the
otlur flat ou the ground by a blow
with his fist. The stars that the
man on the ground saw convinced
him that it must be night, so he
very uncerimoniously made tracks
for home, Since then the man
who was knocked down cannot by
any sort of persuasion be induced
to blow a horn, bugle, trumpet or
auy kind of Christinas tin horn
for fear some one at the other end
will kirck him down.
Social things are on a boom
over here, but the boom comes at
night, the boys having to work
during the day. Two or three par¬
ties per week is tiie regular order.
Boys aud girls returning from
school for their summer vacation,
a lot of visiting gilds, with two or
tlirse young doctors and lawyers
pjakee ary town boom socially.

I wonder how many readers
of Thus News ever asked them-
selves the question : What is suc¬
cess? Those young men who
are spending their time and ener¬
gy in an effort to make meney,
often discouraged because of seem¬
ing failures and losses; those
young girls who are looking higher
and vainly longing for something
great to do, have you ever thought
what it really means to be suc¬
cessful? Reading one of Mr. Pen¬
dleton’s editorials brought the
subject before my mind and s-t
me to thinking along this line.
He says that to be successful, we
must pleasure up to the standard
of duty iu the smaller affairs cf
life. Jf jve do this we are sure to
be ready to meet the greater
t hings when they come to us. lie
was speaking of Mr. Broughton’s
distinction ffetween “character 1 J
and “an ordinary good name.”
Mr. Pendleton .says that nothing
short of character,cgn give an or¬
dinary good name and nothing
short of duty faithfully perform¬
ed can establish character, even
of the ordinary sort.; and duty
faithfully performed,is the crown¬
ing fulfillment of civil aixj moral
obligations among men. It is
more than that: duly faith¬
fully performed is tho full meas¬
ure of religious duty to God. It
seems to me that if we meet every
civil and inoral ohligateon to man
and religious duty to Cod
we may surely consider our iivps
“successful.’’ And so it is not
necessary that we should amass a
fortune, that we should be known
as Raders in tho business wor'd
or that we should accomplish
Ift’
'
are not faithful ip the smaller
things we cannot expect to make
a success in th,3 greater ones.
And so I would sav to the ambi-
«« with
thing above you, 9° w<dh
all your might, whatever comes
b f you ( j ay by ' day, keeping
'
yoqr eves ever forward and up-
ward, iRid the greater things will

It i3 not my purpose to censure
any individual, but for the inter¬
est of the county I would like to
sav that our county fathers are
entirely too careless with this
thing they cal! small pox. It is an
everyday occurrence to see a case
walking our public thoroughfares
and among crowds of people. I
think they should be quarantined
and made to stay at borne until
they are entirely well and so pro¬
nounced by a practicing physi¬
cian, If these precautions are not
taken at once the disease will soon
be in every home in tho county.
Tliore are now in our community
fifteen or twenty cases. I have
( | heard it said by some
people that if the disease gets 111 -
to their homes they will enter
«“ !t against tho c.uuty
it cannot be mude to pay for tl.is
carelessness. Yours truly,
