LOCAL ITEMS. . —Watermelons aro getting ripe. —Cloudy and threatening rain to-day. —Come to the celebration Saturday week. —Col. Charles D. I,oud left on Tuesday for a tiip of several days’ duration to Darien. vitit to Wilcox county. He will be absent for sevaral days. The wife of P. tor Clifton, just over the line in Tatuall Co., died on Saturday last. Wc learn that fever of some kind, was the cause of her death. Lsir. F.H. Solomons, withl. Epstein A- Dro., Savannah, Dry Goods Ac., was drumming our town yesterday. ‘ '' —Mrs. Galbrcath. a very aged widow lady, in Iha western part of the county, across the riv er, is quite sicH. We saw a nalligntor Jn the ’Gater Cave at • JUMillau's mill last Saturdav. A youth shot * ft With a pistol, and it “sunk to rise no more.” —We are under obligations to Mrs. W. J- MoDongald for a mess of fine large tomatoes for dinner Monday, the first r'pe ones we have seen. Also for other vegetables. _ Mr. J, W. Morrison of this place las a hen that stands upon the fence and crows. If she was a woman, now', she would wear thebr,veches and want to vote, like Susan It. Anthony? —Wiley Thigpen of this place was up before Justice Mclntyre on Monday, charged with whipping his wife. He was bound over in a bond of one hundred dollars, to answer the charge, at the next superior court. We have a few more Baptist Hymn Books on hand which we will sell cheap. Just the thing otir Baptist friends ought to have, compiled by an eminent Baptist Minister for his own As sociation, and printed by us for him, —Wo are reliably informed that Mr. M. B. Ad ams, near Bill, in this county, has corn that measuras ll 1 /, feet to the silks. He will make fifty bushels to the acre he thinks, and if so, we apprehend he can take the premium as the best farmer ir. this part of the state. 1 —A cool wave from the coast struck us on Saturday evening, and it has not been so un mercifully hot since. Monday morning it was raining in torrents, and the wind blew a storm from the east and south-east. We hear that considerable damage was done to the corn crop by the wind. Mr. David Higgs says his crop is about ruined. —We dreamed last night that Blisses Della Mcßae and Agnes Adams would like to visit this office and see something of the mysteries of printing, but are afraid we would put their names in the paper. Oh, no! we wouldn’t do snob a thing! Come on, girls, don’t be coy. - i-- — ,-r pome day that isn’t —On the day of our next issue our postal re. lations to the world will have considerably improved. The new daily route from Lumber City will go into operation, and we will have a money order department at the office at this place. Both these things are improvements of great magnitude to our citizens, and arc ev idences of our progress and prosperity as a people. Good Templar's Entertainment.— The Good Templar’s at this place have deter mined to give another of their interesting public entertainments on the night of the 3rd of July. From what the public has already seen of this I .edge iu the way of an entertain ment, we cannot hesitate to assure them of a good audience, and that audience of a good en tertainment. —We are requested to state that Rev. Jos. M. Smith will preach at this place on the 3rd Saturday in July; and on the next day will meet v with the brethren and sisters to constiute a church. If he meets with sufficient encour agement, the services may be protracted for several days. On Saturday night before the 2nd Snndav will commence a meetir-jof several davs duration at Wax Hill* And on the 4th Sunday will commence a protracted meeting at Geth*emane. —I: n> very desirable to tv.: ark that the Sunday School celebration at tins place on the 3rd of Jnly is a county cclolnation, i ‘ o Mt. Vernon affair. It belongs pu t i ■ much to tie members of the county Schools a*, it docs to those of the town. Ii is to lie a i iciiic, or cas ket dinner, and it is important that tin- ie «- ture should not be overlooked by our pcoph Big baskets and plenty of 'em should be the prevailing idea. We all wish to nrakt if a sue cess, and all should work with that eml in v\w. Everybody is invited. C I'; S. And don’t forget the bs-ket.-. COIUIESPiiN DEN CE. From Spring Hill. June 21st 1886, The funeral sermon of Mrs. Sarah E. Mcßae was preached at this place yes terday, by Rev. J. E. Seated. We heard that Charlie and Kenneth EeLeunen had ripe watermelons on the twentieth. It began raining this morning. This will be bad for the melon crop. . liev. C. C. Hines preached at Towns yesterday afternoon. By tho way, a certain young gentleman of Towns, who has been visiting our village quite often, was looking very dejected yesterday, and drovo about aimlessly, as ho said, to drive away his disappointment. L. G. Fortm r Scraps. “I wish it would quit raining so I could finish plowing,” is heard ou every side. Messers. Jackson, Elder & Co. wont through town this morning, en route to Allentown, with their steam engine and saw. They have boen sawing for tho Messrs. Gillis. Mr. Marcus, of Augusta, who is an un cle of Mrs. Morris Dawson, is visiting Mr. and Mrs. Dawson, and expects to remain with them some time if tho country air benefits bis feeble health. Sheriff Mixon, of Johnson county, came down and arrested a negro who was in the employ of Mr. A. J. Gill'.s, last Saturday, supposing him to have escaped from the chniu-gaug. It is not believed by the people here that he is the right man. I don’t think udv ono can c. mplaiu of the hot weather, now. Mrs. E. Ricks has bt-eu wishing she eonhl go to some cold climate, for her health. Slio now thinks the climate of tho “great city" of Fortner, is cold enough. One young man says he thinks it frosted Saturday night. Guess he went to soo his gir! and got tho “cold shoulder" turn ! to him, atid of course it chide! him to the heart. Ail the railroad crew passed through town to-day, cu route to their work, which is a few miles from hero. Some lawyers came through on Saturday, tak ing deeds to the right of way, but bad to Stop at Mr. Thigpen’s till the survey ors got further, as most of them l;a l been sick, and bad made poor arced. Sohap. —— From Red BluIF. We were sorvy to hear that the work on the new railroad had been suspended, and we hope the troublewill be adjusted in a few days, and the work completed. There is nothing of so much interest to the farmers and people gen rally in this county as that road. It will place on the market some of the finest limber in Georgia. It will enhance the value of lands, and give the farmers a market for all they can raise, and thus pro mote tho growth and prosperity of the county, and of almost every industry, and the people would be sorry to hear that tho railroad had failed. Capt. James A. Riddle, of Me. A i-rnon, spent Sunday with friends at the Rlufl. We are always glad to s<e the Capt. Ho is a clever whole-souled gentleman, aud always ready to encourage and fos ter any enterprise. Mr. Smith and Mr. Culver have dis covered a new remedy for bedbugs, to wit: Saturate the bedslead well with kerosene oil I thou set tbeoilon fire*, ami and carry the bedstead to tho slab pit; throw it in and mend up the fire. This is the remedy that they tried, and now they sleep in peace and quiet on the floor. The Monitor has many warm friends at Red Bluff, and none better than the colored boys at the mill, who are alwajs glad to see the paper come, and the rert of our colored friends, as well as the whites, should follow their example, and thus make themselves acquainted wit! what is going on in the county, and fos ter home industry, which is the daty of every citizen of the county. B. &C. The Hon and the Hornets. One day a hen was scratching in a flower bed to get some food for herself and her little chickens, but as bbe did not find fodder right away she became enraged and spit on her h.-:;ds, and then tore up the earth like a cyclone. It so chanced that much of the dirt foil on a neighboring hornet’s nest, and in about two seconds the Ben was notified ■> vamoose which, she gladly did at a 2:‘ gait, and when she got where she could catch her breath she was heard to re mark that she didu’t know it wa loaded.
