A Freckled Cupid
By Wilbur D. Noshit
It Is not written In books of fato
that the Fourth of July Is any day to j
propose to a klrl.
Christmas day, ThankuKivlhk day,;
New Years .day, or any other day will I
do, but the Fourth Is not romantic; !
It Is patriotic. On that day a man is 1
supposed to love hlsjiintlve land. Ho
Is to listen to speeches, or make Mtotn, :
about the Indivisibility of our country.
He Is to watclf the fireworks—where j
they are permitted —and not do liny j
sparking on his own account.
livery day Is Fourth of July to some
men. They have made up their minds
that they hope to marry a certain girl,
but when It comes to stating their de
cision tho tongue cleuves to the roof
of tho mouth and the right arm seems j
to have lost its cunning.
Jim Hicks was such a man. When
love making was concerned, all days
were the Fourth for him. Otherwise
his name would have been Arniaml
lVeoureey. As It was. lie was just
what you would expect of a man of
that name.
Jim hud been “keeping company”
ofT and on with I.uella Miller for a
matter of time years. This guaran
teed him a certain standing as her
"beau," but what woman wants to go
on forever that way?
On Luella's mini! was the one lm- .
portant thought which rests upon the |
mind of every woman when she lias
found tho right man That was to
make Jim pro pi)**'- The romantic no
tion that a woman In love is a coy, |
blushing thing, timorous, trembling, '
afraid of the groat masculine creature. !
may be justified in some eases. But
with the l.uellas and Jims of this
world It does not obtain. I.uelln had
exhibited to Jim her deftness as a
cook; she had acquainted him with
her cleverness as a nccdlcworkcr, she
. ad demonstrated over and over that
she would make an Ideal wife.
Hut Jim hadn't proposed.
Consequently, on the Fourth, when
I. saw Henry Nelson, the bad boy
of the village, with a huge cannon
cracker he had kept secreted slnco
last year, and which he proposed to
explode somewhere during the day or
•venlng. she made war plans
“Henry,” she said, “don't you know
It’s against the law to have such a
firecracker?”
“Aw,” Henry muttered. “I don’t
know."
“Well, It Is, And If the marshal
finds it out he will put you in the
lockup as an example.”
“Aw! Somebody’s always makln’ a
example o’ me. 1 s’pose you're goln'
to go an' blab on me now."
"1 won’t, if you'll do something for
me —and It will be a whole lot of
fun for you. Henry.”
Miss May Burke, who has been
visiting her sister, Mrs. E. M.
Rack ley for some time, has re
turned to Atlanta.
Mrs. J. W. Morrison returned
Monday night from Macon, her
sad mission there being the
death of her sister, Miss Addie

Miss Rita Mat; Outler spent last
week in Cordele, the guest of
her brothers, L. T. & L. C. Out
ler.
Miss M. E. McNatt left last
week fur Atlanta and other North
Georgia points, where she will
spend several weeks.
At this writing I)r. I). B. Sum
erford is on the sick list, hut we
hope for his speedy recovery.
Quite a large number from
Ailcy attended the Sunday School
at Stuckey on Sunday.
Miss Lucile Patton of Lakeland,
Fla., siient last week in Ailey
with Mrs. M. O. Outler.
Mr. 11. W. Evans, the popular
l assistant cashier of The Mont-
Igomery County Bank, spent last
Friday in Mcßae on business.
The Misses Stewart and Mc-
Millan of Helena were guests of
Miss Maggie Peterson last week.
Miss Oppie Lee Fuqua is at
home for the summer after at-
I tending school at Milledgeville.
Mr. John O. McArthur of Long
Pond spent Sunday here with
home folks.
Mr. T. J. Thaxton the Coca-
Cola man of Vidalia was trans
acting busines here Monday.
I "Wot?”
‘‘Don’t you want to play a good Joko
on Jim Hicks?”
“Awl He’s your feller."
"Well, anyhow, Henry, I’ll tell you
how to play a good Joke on him, and
I’ll help you to do It. You come up
by our house this evening, and Jim
will lie there. I’ll get him to stand
at the gate and talk to me. and you
slip up and set off your big firecracker
i right behind him. That'll scare him
half to death, and will bo Just lots of
j fun for you.”
"Awl Wot d’ye want to scare him
fer?”
“Well, you know how big nnd strong
he is, nnd how brave he acts. Let's
see If wo can’t got a good one on him,
Henry.”
“Aw! I wns goln’ to shoot this off
liehlnd tho school teacher.”
Hut at last Luella mnnaged to con
vince Henry that he could have more
fun with the cannon cracker by ex
ploding It behind Jim than If he set
It off anywhere else.
Jim never has understood why Lu
ella was waiting at the gate for him
that evening, nor why she kept him
standing there, talking of the weather
and the crowd down town and this,
that, and everything. It had always
been her custom to greet him at the
front door, nnd to express surprise at
seeing him. This Is one of tho enjoy
able fictions of courtship.
"I think It Is so lovely when the
stars come out as they are coming out
tonight, don't you?” Luella wus asking
Jim.
I Hang!!
, Luella shrieked and fainted dead
i away, apparently, but she fainted
toward Jim in such a manner that the i
gate swung open and she reposed
limply against his manly bosom.
Under the circumstances, there was
but one thing Jim could do, and that
was to keep her from falling to the ,
ground. This is best accomplished In 1
the case of a fainting lady by placing j
your arms about her and allowing her
head to rest on your shoulder. Tills
comes natural to most men. What
else Jim did. and what hs said to
Luella to calm her fears nnd to re
vive her to consciousness may only be
conjectured.
Hfrnrv Nelson, however, kept up a
derisive series of yells nnd howls of j
laughter, and Luella at last opened |
her eyes and asked dreamily:
“Where am I?”
Henry shouted: “Aw! He was a
huggin’ you, an’ he kissed you!”
Then llenrj turned and fled, Jim
shaking a fist after him.
■'Luella," Jim said, "I—l'm ashamed
—but Henry told the truth When you
fainted In my arms i just couldn’t
help klssiti’ you.”
“Why, Jim!”
“An now he'll tell tt all over town,
an’ 1 don’t want to have people talkin'
about you without good reason, so —
so—hadn’t we better have 'em say
we're engaged?”
And then It looked as though Lu
ella had fainted ull over again.
THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR-THURSDAV, JULY 4, 1912.
S. S. CONVENTION AT
STICKEY BIG SUCCESS
Next Convention to be Held
at Higgston One
Year Hence.
The Sunday School Convention
of The Daniell Association at
Stuckey last Friday, Saturday
and Sunday, June 28, 29 and 30,
was a signal success.
From the very beginning the
attendance was good; and in
terest in the discussion of the
various subjects never deminish
ed, hut seemed to increase right
on up to the very last.
The congregations were so
large on Saturday and Sunday
that the seating capacity of the
large house was taxed to its ut
most to accomodate the people.
The subjects selected by the
Programme Committee were of
vital importance to every Sunday
school, and their discussion was
of the highest order.
After the introductory sermon,
at 11 o’clock Friday morning, the
convention was called to order
by former president, M. E.
Burns. Messengers were en
rolled, and the convention was
organized by the election of M.
E. Burns president, L. M. Jessup
vice-president and J. D. Rabun
secretary.
The preaching was done by J.
D. Rabun, Friday at 11 o’clock,
J. A. Poole, Friday night, Dr. J.
C. Brewton, Saturday, and Dr.
P. A. Jessup, of Cordele, Sun
day.
Rev. J. A. Poole’s sermon Fri
day night on Things That Are
Worthy of Being Conserved Must
Be Conserved At Personal sacri
fice was a gem.
Dr. J. C. Brewton’s sermon on
Christ The Bread of Life was up
to his usual standard, and was j
enjoyed by all.
The sweetest service, perhaps,
of the convention was Sunday at
11 o’clock when Dr. P. A. Jessup
gave his Bible reading on Home
Religion.
An Epitome of The Lessons for
The Past Quarter, by Rev. O. 0.
Williams, Sunday afternoon, was
equal in every respect to any of
the discourses that had preceed
ed.
Rev. N. S. Hamic, the new
pastor of Lyons, was present,
and made a great “hit” with the
brethern. Bro. Hamic came to
his new work at Lyons only about
ten days before the convention,
and was not, therefore, assigned !
any subject by the Programme
Committee, but when called up
on by the convention to take the
places of brethern who were notj
present, he responded with such
impromptu speeches as to show
his familiarity with every sub
ject of interest in the kingdom of
God.
Resolutions were passed de-!
ploring the fact that many of j
our churches and Sunday schools
have poor music and unsound
songs, and recomending that a
committee be appointed consist
ing of J. D. Rabun, J. A. Poole,!
M. L. Stephens, M. E. Burns |
and Mrs. L. M. Jessup to get
sample copies of all the song
books pulished by our S. S.
Board, at Nashville, Tenn., and
recomend, at our next conven-j
tion, the best book for general
use.
Resolutions were passed ex
pressing regret at the agaitation
of the removal of Mercer Uni
versity from Macon, and calling
upon the Baptists of Georgia to
go to Moultrie next November
prepared to settle this question
for all time.
The next convention will be
j held with Higgston church, be
ginning on Friday before, and
j running through, the sth. Sun
jda.v in June, 1913.
The people of Stuckey, both
Methodist and Baptist, “spread”
themselves in the way of enteir
tainment. Friday and Saturday!
dinner was served on the ground,
land though the crowds were j
I large, there was ample provis
ions. and that of the very best,
for the feeding of twice the num
ber of people present. They were
willing to do everything they
- could for our enjoyment.

In Memoriam.
Sister Mary Susan Dixon was
born March 13, 1861, and died
March 20, 1912, being 51 years
and 7 days of age. She leaves a
son and two daughters to mourn
her departure. His work on this
earth is done and God has taken
her home.
“We have lost our darling sis
ter; she has bid us all adieu. She
has gone to live in heaven, and
her form is lost to view. 0, that
dear one, how we loved her —0
how hard to give her up; but an
angel came down for her and
removed her from our flock.
“Thy gentle voice is hushed;
thy warm, true hear is still, and
on thy lovely and innocent brow
is resting death’s cold chill. Thy
hands are clasped upon thy
breast; we have missed thy holy
face, and in our aching hearts we
know our sister is at rest.”

For Judge SuDerior Court:
Col. E. D. Graham, Solicitor-General of the
Oconee Circuit, announces that he has defl
nilely concluded to stand as a candidate for
office ot Judge at next State Primary Election
which will he held it: .August.
Uelerring to the matter, 001. Graham said:
“Yes, I am a candidate for Judge of this Ju
dicial Circuit; aud; aed in this connection it
is proper for tne to say that I (lid not make up
my mind to become a candidate without con
siderable reluctance. First, because of my
feeling of friendship for others, who probably
wish to hold the ottice, and secondly, because
of the grave responsibilities of the office and
and the onerous labor involved in an efficient
and ini! artial discharge ot the duties of Judge.
“Further I with to say to tne people of the
Circuit that my candidacy is not horn of a de
sire to hold office as a political job. My view
is that the office of Judge of the .Superior
Courts should he lifted above politics. That
mi one should seek or hold the position as a
a mere political office, and no one, without
satisfactory reasons, should decline lo comply
with the wishes of a majority of the people,
when they signify their desire that he serve
them in such capacity.
“My disinclination to stand as a candidate
for the office has been overcome by the insist
ence of large numbers of the people from all
parts of the circuit. These solicitations, coin
ing unsought, have been so general and per
sistent, I have been driven to the conclusion
that it is my duty to publicly aimbuneo my
candidacy for the position. Heretofore, when
1 asked for political favors, the people treated
me kiadlv aim generously. Now that they are
calling on me to serve them, I cannot refuse
to respond.” Telfair Enterprise.
For County Treasurer:
To the Voters of Montgomery County:
Having received a sufficient number of votes
in the recent primary for the office of County
Treasurer to he one of the two to run the race
over I hereby announce myself a candidate
for said office subject to the second primary.
I wish to thank ail of my friends for their
assistance in the iirst race and will appreciate
anything done for me in the coming race.
If elected I will perform the duties of the
office to the best id my ability and will he in
position to pay all county orders, Wihon funds
are available, at all times without discount, at
the court house.
In conclusion I desire to state that if I am
elected to this office I will not he under obli
gations to deposit the county’s money with
any particular banks as 1 have made no prom
ises to any one, but. will do what I consider
best for the voters of the county.
Again thanking you for past favors and hop
ing to receive your assistance in the coming
