AGAINST RUNNING I
SUNDAY EXCURSIONS.
Editor Monitor: The Seaboard :
Ail Line Railway, in running a
Sunday excursion between Savan- (
nub nnd Helena, is breaking the
State, ns well as the Divine Law', ,
in more than one particular.
First, the mere act itself of op
erating an excursion tram on
Sunday is contrary to state luw. '
The road is trying, so far success
fully, to dodge the law with the,
plea that they only give a cheap
rate on Sunday for a regularly
scheduled train; when, in fact,
the tram leaves Savannah on Sun
days two hours luter than sched
ule time.
Second, the danger to which the
regular passengers arc subjected
is incalculable. The casualties for
dune, if I remember right., were j
three. Drunk and shooting in*
crowded cars < the wonder is that
there were not considerably more.
On the night of July Ist, a Mr.
O’Quinn cf Olennville, under the
influence of the liquor, which
anyone knows con he bought from
almost every saloon in Savannah
on Sunday, began firing Ins pistol
in the roar coach, and was carried ;
by officers to the Imggago car for
safe keeping. He walked out the
bggago car door, the tram running
at full speed; when the train
backed to where was, In* wns not
only dead, but mangled almost
beyond recognition.
Third, 1 merely mention the
tendency, m a certain sense, to
corrupt, the morals of tho people.
The class of people, for the most
part, who ride these Sunday trains
are those who have dim scruples,
it any, in regard to Subbath
breaking. This, in a measure,
accounts for the repeated “rough
house’’ scenes witnessed on these
trains.
If the railroad would give the
same rate on a certain week day,
the excursion business would bo
just as paying to them, (if not to
the saloons,) and they would thus
furnish excursion trains to pas
sengers of u class they should be
eager to accommodate.
In the name of humanity, and 1
in the name of God, something
must be done. Let me suggest
that the good people in tho sever
al counties between Helena and
Savannah, through which the S.
A. L. runs, go betore their grand
juries and get true bills against
the railroads for violatingthe law.
There will not he found an intel
ligent jury in any of them that
will not sustain it.
Public sentiment has been, and 1
is being, aroused, and unless the
railroad takes warning, the penal
ties will be hem v, Respectfully,

OUT KICKINGEST HOSS.
Henry McLain, colored, is a
generous hearted individual. On
Tuesday last Henry furnished free
entertainment about half a day to
Mt. Vernon and all tho atten
dants at city court. In fact, I
Henry’s performing horse was
such an attraction us to almost
parnlize business and adjourn ;
the court.
Kicking high, kicking low, up
and down and all around at one
time, seems to be a favorite sport
with Henry’s horse. After tiring
out all the boss doctors and old
time prognosticators, the animal j
was led otf, and is now ruminat
ing how many saddle blankets
she can keep up in the air at one
time.
TEN DOLLARS REWARD.
I will pay $lO for return of my
shepherd dog, or proof to convict
any one of killing or stealing him.

| BEATS THEM ALL.
When country papers in this
! state were crowing over 8 pound'
'turnips last, full we got them up
i to 17 |>ounds; and when they have
j boasted of 50 pound watermelons, j
!we showed up Montgomery ,
! melons as large as 98 pounds.
But it remained for Mr. Jim A.
j Barlow of Montgomery to surpass j
| any thing in Georgia on musk
I melons. He brought us one on
I Tuesday that weighed 85 pounds,
| and a string passed around it
lengthways measured 50j inches, i
and the circumference m the mid-1
die was 85} inches.
if you notice a jieeuliar golden j
tinge in the face o" the Monitor ]
j force, and see our neighbors look
; mg sallow, you needn’t conclude
that we are turning to salmons.
PAINLESS DENTISTRY,
1 have recently secured a Sys
temic Treatment and methods of
Rainless Dentistry. Systemic Treat
ment is the Foundation for alj
Rainless Dental work. By this
1 method of treatment I will be en
abled to work for patients in a
weak condition or troubled with
nervous debility, or heart, trouble.
Try this wonderful new treat
ment when having dental work
done.. It. saves you pain, and the
work of taking out live nerves is
not felt.

A WONDERFUL ANIMAL,
The hog is a wonderful animal
i when you come to sum him all up
land is one of the fixed institu
tions of this country. Seme one
| once wittily described him as a
' manufacturer of hams, lard, hair
| brushes, head cheese, tooth brush
es, glue, buttons, fertilizer, fats,
I bacon, knife handles, whistles,
i soaps, sauce, sausage and satisfac
i tion.
Asa condenser, he beats the'
finest steam machinery. He will!
j put ten bushels of corn into less
I space than a bushel measure.
I Corn loaned to a hog is cash at a
good investment, safe and at a!
. large interest, He does what the 1
j ancient alchemists never snccced
ied in doing, by converting corn
! into coin, and thus discovering
the philospher’s stone.
