~ Mr. Albert Tyler, a highly es
tzemed citizen, died at his home
in this place last Friday night of
‘}'l‘yphoid fever after an illness of
about three weeks. Mr. Tyler

‘many friends during the time, all

citizen. He was thirty seven
years of age ard his death comning
as it did in the prime of manhood
makes it indeed sad.

brother, Mr. Charles Tyler, of
Broxton, Ga., and one sister, Mrs.
Faulkner, of this county.
The remains were carried Sat
urday to his country home and
were placed in the family section

THE MONTICELLO NEWS, FRIDAY, OCTOBER g, 1903.
Contractor T, J. Nichols .
And His Work.
During August, one year ago,
Mr. and Mrs, Thomas J. Nichols,
of Atlanta, moved to our town.
Mr. Nichols had a contract with
the Benton Supply Company to
build a three story brick depart
ment store, With Mr. Nichols al
so came some twenty workmen and
immediately the work began,
This store is one of the hand
somest in Georgia—facing two
streets. Plate glassand white brick
adorn the front, making a pretty
combination
After completing this building
Mr. Nichols contracted with Dr.,
Chas, D. Jordan to remodel his
drug store. After enlarging the
budding Mr, Nichols displayed his
ability as an architect by finishing
the interior in a handsome style.
The office, cabinets, shelving, etc.,
being finished in oak., The floor
is lain in tiling, with pretty de
signs, Large folding doors make
a handsome front. The front of
the prescription office is a solid
mirror; also one is placed over the
cigar case. Mr. Jordan's labora
tory is one of the best in the state.
~ Before this work was finished
'Mr. Nichols had raised the stock
for the Monticello Hotel. Very
[soon the material was placed and
‘work started on the hotel, This
building is three stories high, has
twenty looms, and several offices,
including the post office. This
was one of Monticello's greatest
needs -and Mr. Nichols deserves
much credit for this pretty struc-‘
ture.
At the same time Mr. Nichols
was building two dwellings in our
town—a two story home for Mr,
H. C. Hill and a one story house
for Col. Greene Johnson. These
dwellings when completed will be‘
among the prettiest in Monticello.
More recently he has contracted
with Mr, George Davis for a one‘
story dwelling to be erected at:
once. |
} He also has enlarged the stores
occupied by Reuben Jordan, Dur
wood Pye and Sam Cohen. Be.
sides building a large seed ware
house for the Monticello Cotton
Oil Co. ,
Mr. and Mrs. Nichols have made
'many friends since coming here.
Our people are indebted to Mr.
‘Nichols for his successful efforts
in building up Monticello. |

A Birthday Fete.
Master Addison Glover enter
tained his young friends on the
afternoon of fifth October at the
home of Mrs. [. H. Glover, in
honor of his tenth birthday.
A happy band of boys and girls
gathered upon the lawn and the
‘bright October sunshine never yet
ts’hone upon a lovlier or more joy
ous group of play fellows.
} The festivities began with pin.
ning on the donkey's tail, each
attempt being greeted with many
‘demonstrations of delight. Miss
Fay Hutchinson was the fortunate
‘winner of the prize tho' Miss Dessa
Jones made a close second. The
booby-—a jews-harp—was award
€d 1o Master Reuben Coile, and
proved quite popular, several
young gents essaying their skill
upon it with varying degrees of
success, g
After an interval of play they
were summoned to the dining
room where a table spread with
dainties had been provided for
them-the central ornament being
a large decorated cake crowned
with ten lighted candles, red and
blue, each set in a pretty calyx of
red and blue. Ten of the guests
were selected, each to blow out a
candle and make a wish for their
youthful host. It was sweet to
hear them wishing him long life,
prosperity and happiness, with a
gravity befitting their elders. He
responded gracefully, thanking
them for their kind wishes and al
so for the pretty gifts they had
bestowed upon himi in honor of
the day. :
After partaking of the dainties
they . betook themselves to.the
lawn and engaged in the time
honored game of ‘‘many, many
stars”. The game .proceeded
with great zest, tho' some of the
misses took determined measures
to prevent the young gents from
exercising their privilege under
the rules of .the game. One
spirited little blonde seized a base
ball bat and successfully held the
adventurous youths at bay, much
to the amusement of the grown
ups who were looking on.
Soon the lengthening shadows
began to fall and the joyous
group fluttered gaily away like so
many butterflies.
Addison will long remember
his tenth birthday. - May the fu
ture hold for him many re-unions
as sweet and joyous.

HABI'TS IN THE CHILD,
The following is taken from a paper on
Habits znd Will by Mis, Theodore W,
Birney in the Delineator for Soptember:
“I'he habits of reverence, gentleness,
courtesy, honesty, courage and patience
like the opposites are absorbed by the
child from those with whom he is most
closely associated, It is in these atbri
butes that an ounce of example out
weighs a ton of precept, 1t is a ¢harm
ing custom to lose no opportunity either
in reading fiction or the circumstances
attending on everyday living to express
“an enthusiastic appreciation of the good
‘ the noble, beautiful and true, but valu
able beyond and above all discussion of
these virtues is, *“I'o be as nearly as we
ean what we wish our children to be,'"’
