Fellows, this is April;
Shy she is and sweet;
Blossoms in her tresses,
Liiies at her feet.
See her toss the glory
Of her golden curls!
Hear her sing the story
Of the springtime to the girls!
Dreams and gleams in ail the land;
Daises in the dew,—
Violets and your sweetheart’s hand
To pin ’em on for you.
Sheriff Davis is happy—no jail birds.
A fish, a fish! Our “hell box” for a
fish!

Mr. John Ward, of Edison, was in
town Tuesday, and we found out that he
bolieves in friendship, charity and be-
nevolence. May this clever young man
suoieed in life.
Monday night’s threatening weatlur

pits and other places of refuge. Al¬
though there was much high wind,

These Teachers of Oars
Last Saturday being regular Institute
day, the teachers of Calhoun raet in the
office of the School Commissioners ai
the Court House.
Present, Professors Short, Pettis and
Edwards, and Mesdames Rice, L. W.
Dozier and Miss Kagan.
President Edwards called the meeting
to order at 10.30 a. m. Morning exer
ciaes were opened with prayer by Judge
J. J. Beet, At roll call by the Secre¬
tary each teacher responded to their
names with a quotation from a favorite
author.
Ou motion, Professor McLendon and
Miss Blanche Kagan were elected mem¬
bers of the Institute.
The morning exercises, as per pro-
gramme, were very interesting and in¬
structive and highly enjoyed by teach¬
ers and visitors.
At 12 o’clock a recess for dinner was
announced. Professor Edwards, Mrs.
J. N. Rogers, of Saudersville, Mrs. Cora
Price and ye scribe were invited by Mrs.
Dozier to dinner. At this good lady’s
hospitable home we enjoved several
minutes in pleasant conversation before
being summoned to the dining room.
We are not going to attempt to describe
bountiful and tempting repast spread
before us, but just add that everything
you could imagine good for the inner
mau was put upon our plates by Miss
Nettie Dozier’s fair hands, prepared by
her and her mother. (Dou’t talk to us
about teaching young ladies to cook at
school; it won’t go.) Paul and I ate
until we became ashamed aud beat a
hasty retreat, but left Professor Edwards
still holding the tort. John, was it the
good dinner or the girls?
At 2 o’clock the Institute re-convened
for the Round Table exercises. A large
number of visitors were present to hear
the many serious as well as funny ques¬
tions asked and discussed.
Among the questions the following
was read out: “Why do people say that
a red sunset is a sign of fair weather?”
No logical reason was given except that
the saying originated from the Bible,
and a year’s subscription to the Monitor
was offered to any teacher or scholar
sending in the exact passage. Mr.
Ralph H. Johnson sent in the following,
and ho being the first to answer, we
have placed his name upon our mailing
list. Here is the quotation:
“He answered and said unto them,
when it is evening, ye say, it will be
fair weather, for the sky is red; and, in
the morning, it will be foul weather to-
day, for the sky is red and low’ring. O,
ye hypocrites; Lut ye can discern the face of
> can ye not discern the
signs of the times? —St. Matthew; 16th
Chapter, Second and Third Verses.
The Monitor would be glad to give a
more detailed account of the meeting,
but lack of space forbids. No teacher,
pupil or patron should miss attending
the Institute, for a day could not be
more pleasantly or profitably spent.
The Monitor earnestly begs that no
teacher of Calhoun will be tardy enough
to miss the next meeting.
Following is the programme for May:

Roll call and responses by quotations

by his side through tho battles of life, re-

Mr - Clowo1 ' when his man Y kicked and
friends began to gather around him SuH-

his guests were surprised at tho feast set
before them. Tho first bell was sounded
at 10, and from 10 until 2 o’clock the birth-
day dinner of this good old man was on-
joyed by about 45 or 50 relatives and
friends. The hungry looking editor of this
paper wasn’t there, but from a lucky
friend wo learned that a more pleasant
gathering never assembled.

County Commissioners Court.
County Commissioners J. J. Ragan,
Henry Turner and Johu M. Wooten held
their regular monthly court Tuesday.
Several minor items were discussed and
passed upon.
The board worked hard and impar¬
tially, doing all in its power to give
justice to all, at the same time keeping
the interest of the county in sight.
The bridge accounts consumed most
of the long session, and all bridges that
have been replaced were accepted and
the contractors’ bills ordered paid ex¬
cept the one across Kotehaway creek at
Monroe's mill. The board claimed that
Mr. Thornton did not replace this
bridge according to contract, and passed
account ($62.90) until next month’s ses-i
sion.
A great deal of comment on the
bridges was indulged in by people around
the Court House Wednesday, but the
stern fact remains that it will cost the
county a good round sum to replace our
bridges.
The board passed upon and ordered
paid various accounts amounting to
$493.72, with three more bridges to hear
from, at an estimated cost of $250.
The county will be compelled to bor¬
row some money to meet bridge obliga-
tions.
The Monitor is certain that our com¬
missioners have done all in their power
to save the tax payers every cent possi-
ble, and secure the best work obtainable.
We ought not to kick at the inevitable,
but have confidence in the ability of the
powers that be, and be content with that
which Providence puts upon us.

tive person take them, they are so effec¬
tive that the most obstinate cases of con¬

little pills. S. T. Clayton, Morgan, P.

district, had all of his meat stolen by some

Mr. Jack Kiley, our good hearted
marshal, is in'very feeble health, much
to the regret of his many friends. Mr.
Palm Richardson is doing the “grand

that talk enough?
Torturing, itching, scalv skin eruptions,
burns and scalds aro soothed at once and
promptly healed by DeWitt’s Witch
Hazel Salve, the best known euro for
piles. S. T. Clayton, Morgan; P. E. Boyd,
Leary; Henry Turner, Edison.
The streams about here are still in a
swollen condition and bridges are not
yet safe. It is hoped, however, that
further damage will not occur to these
necessary structures.
E. E. Turner of Compton, Mo., writes
us that after suffering from piles for sev¬
enteen years he completely cured them
by using three boxes of DeWitt’s Wieth
Hazel salve. It cures eczema arid severe
skin diseases. 8. T. Clayton, Morgan;
