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! See notice elsewhere of County Coni' missioner J. J. Beck to teachers. Miss Mamie Brooks, a sweet little belle of Americus, is visiting Mrs. J. N. Dauiell. _ Judge J. J.

C. MoMurria, two of Arlington’s clever citizens, were at¬ tending to business at the county site Monday, _____ Mrs. E. P. and Miss Jessie Parkins, of Dickey, caused our merchants to smile this week.

Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Emmerman, of Dawson, and Mr, nod Mr, W. Cunningham, of Leary, were the guests of Miss Nettie Dozier Sunday. Mr. Paul Dozier has placed his order f#r a bill of lumber, and ere long we will hear the saw and hammer working on his new home. Yet some people say Morgan doesn’t grow. Dr. J. B. George returned home Saturday from a visit to Florida. He went to the Land of Flowers several days ago for his health, aud returns much improved._ 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 caused many people to think of storm pits and other places of refuge. Al¬ though there was much high wind, thunder and lightning, no serious dam¬ age resulted. Despite tho very bad weather Sabbath School was held at the Baptist church „ Sunday , . aud - afternoon, . being . . morning conducted by Superintendent Jeff New- ton. Mr. Si McGuirt conducted lUe evening services. Rev. F. McCullough did not fill his regular monthly appoint- jnent. Dr. J, N.

Professor Short aud the “big folks” ran away through the rain Thursday and enjoyed a picnic, but “little folks” had a better time at candy pulling Thursday evening in be nny home of our childrens friends, prattle and rollicking of about those who love them is one of sweetest diversions of a busy life. 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: proorammb. Opening exercises. Roll call and responses by quotations from some author. Primary Geography—By Mrs. Rice— and discussion. History—By Professor C, L. Fitz¬ patrick—and Pestalotzza—When discussion.

Sun- r -* a 7’ April 4th, was his birthday, Uncle Billie had forgotten all about it, but his loving companion, who has bravely stood by his side through tho battles of life, re- membered the day. It was a surprise to Mr - Clowo1 ' when his man Y kicked and friends began to gather around him SuH- day mor ling and congratulate him; and 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.

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. They are so small that the most sensi¬ tive person take them, they are so effec¬ tive that the most obstinate cases of con¬ stipation, headach aud torpid liver yield to them That is why DeWitt’s Little Early Kisers are known as the famous little pills. S. T. Clayton, Morgan, P. E. Boyd, Leary; Heury Turner, Edison. Mr.--Kuighton, of the Bullnock district, had all of his meat stolen by some sneaking sun-of-a-gun one night recently. A sheep-killing, egg-suoking dog and a chicken and moat thieving man should not bo allowed to exist on the face of God’s groen earth.__ Many cases of “Grippe” have lately been cured by Oue Minute Cough Cure. This the preparation of this seems diseas. especially It acts adapted quickly to cure thus preventing serious complications and bad effects in which this disease often leaves the patient. S. T.

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 act” during the marshal’s illness.

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; P. E. Boyd, Loary; Henry Turner, Edi¬ son.
