Mrs. Dallas Kemp was shopping in
town one day this week.
We can enjoy our berries , . this , . sea-
son better than ever, for Clayton will
furnish tis a beautitul berry set or
cut glass very cheap.
Mr. George Eubanks has a blooded
animal at Clayton’s stables. People
wishing to raise fine mules should see
him.
_
The merchants of Morgan are doing a
pretty fair cash trade, notwithstanding
the tightness of things iu general. Guess
it’s the pretty goods and great bargains.
Mr. S. M. Lash is now handling
the Excelsor Safety Burner. Fits
any lamp. Beautiful gas light in your
own home. Try one- Nonexplosive
oils furnished at 20cts. per gallon.
It is funny, but nevertheless true, that
When the sap begins to rise and the trees
to put forth their beautiful verdure,
spring fights crop out as plentiful as the
honej’suckle and wild jessamine.
Judge A. I. Monroe and Mr. R. M.
Smith went over to the Joiner pond
Tuesday, and with hook and line caught
twenty-five bream, the lot weighing
twenty pounds.
Beautiful assortment of decorated
Porcelain ware at
CLAA'TON’S.
John Harrison and Walter AVilson fell
out and went at each other out on the
Tinsley placo Monday. The former
banged the latter in the face with a pair
of metal knucks.
From reports, by next Sunday, all the
bridges in the county will be repaired,
and then—well, won’t the boys and girls
have a jolly time visiting. We wish we
could be with you all and enjoy the
pleasures of springtime. But our time
is like our “caps” and space—limited.
large Friends, I have just received a
quantity of imitation cutglass
ware—can’t tell it from the genuine
article—which you can have at “cut'"'
prices. S. T. Clayton.
Mr. S. M. Lasli now has tho exclusive
right to sell the celebrated “Excelsior”
Safety Burner. This burner is quite a
convenience in its way, and either gaso¬
line or non explosive oil can bo used,
snaking a soft and bright light. See ad.
Gapt. T. J. Tinsley went up to Cuth-
bert Saturday and returned Tuesday
mght. He stayed over his allotted time,
and Dr. Briscoe become very uneasy, for
fear Mr. Tinsley had found something
prettier than he is.
When are we going to hoar something
favorable from that new school house
and artesian well? The Monitor will
start the subscription with-. Say,
how much do you want?
Our correspondents will please bear in
mind that our space is limited, and un¬
less you have good live news to write,
please do not fill up your space With un
interesting matter. Save your time and
stationery for something good. We
hope you will not misjudge us in this,
but see the point intended.
Yon will never regret it if you
purchase from Clayton a ?et’"of that
beautifully of decorated Porcelain ware,
or a set his handsome cut glass.
No trouble to look at and price these
waies.

Shades of all the thornas eats! Did
anyone ever hear of a dog eating kit¬
tens? If you never did, we wish to in¬
form you that this town has a pointer
dog with a keen appetite for cats. Last
Sunday afternoon a pointer dog entered
the kitchen of Dr. J. B. George and de¬
voured two kitteus in a few minutes. Is
he a good or a naughty dog?
A. I. McMurria & Son, the Arlington
firm which wbb closed up by its creditors
recently, will not open up for business
soon. The court has appointed Mr. T.
B. McDowell ns receiver, and he has
taken possession. A. G. McMurria wa;
wudff’^pirty defendant. The many
friends of these clover gentlemen regret
vory much the misfortunes that have be¬
fallen them, but “behind every dark
cloud there is a silver lining.”

Mr. J. B. Steadham, Calhoun’s Tax
Receiver, put in the first day of his pub¬
lished dates in Morgan Monday, He
did but little in the way of receiving tax
returns. The Monitor has been inform¬
ed by several citizens that there is a
tendency among a great many people in
the county to give • in their taxes far
under the real value of their property.
This is all wrong. If the people will
give in their taxes at what they value
thoir property, and nothing less, they
will bave no more taxes to pay than they
wou'd by “cutting corners,” and the
outside world would soon see that Cal¬
houn county is not poverty struck, nor
her citizens paupers. Let’s make just
returns.
_
Dr. AV. R. Terry, of Leary, and Miss
Lizzie Crittenden, of Shellman, were
united in the holy bonds of matrimony
at the homo of the bride yesterday.
They left on the up train for New York,
where a honeymoon of several weeks
will be spent. To the genial Doctor and
the dear girl who has taken him “for
better or for worse” through life the
Monitor extends congratulations, and
wishes that life may prove better for
them day by day.
Judge J. J. Ragan brought to the
Monitor office, the other day, a string
of rattles taken from the tail of a rattle¬
snake killed by Mr. William Strickland
in the upper part of the comity. The
rattles number 21 and a button, and if
tho old-time theoiy of one rattle for each
year be true, his snakesliip had just
reached the voting age. Uncle Jack,
you need not bring any snakes, the rat¬
tles produced the desired effect.
AVe received an interesting communi¬
cation from “Alex Eugas,” at Bob John¬
son’s fish pond, near Shellman, but as
the items were intended for last week
the most interesting features of the let¬
ter are stale for this issue. The editor
acknowledges the invitation to attend
the annual picnic at Cordray’s, and will
bo on baud if possible. We appreciate
the interest you take in the paper, gen¬
tlemen, so write again.
Mr. C, R. Ivey, of near Williamsburg,
paid Morgan a business trip Saturday.
He informed tlie writer that his beauti¬
ful and would have-been profitable fish
pond—just below the Still pond—was
totally wrecked by the flood.
Tom Cordray, of the famous Oordray
mill, called to the writer Saturday and
said; “When you people of Morgan
want good water-ground meal send out
to me and you can get all you want at 60
cents per bushel.
This week’s beautiful weather has been
a blessing to the farmers, and has about

About now, and a little later on, is
the season for mad dogs. People
should be cautious, as the life of one
human is worth more than all the
dogs together. Read the following
special to the Constitution from
Gordon, Ga: “The 7-yeat-old son
of Joseph Bloodworth, of Ivey diss
trict, this county, died Monday of
hydrophobia. The child was bitten
by a mad dog five or six weeks ago
while returning home from school.
He began to show symptoms of the
rabies last Wednesday and gradually
grew worse until the end came. Jack
Gooden, of near Stevens Pottery,
was bitten the same day by the same
dog and is dying of hydrophobia.
The dog bit several hogs, a goose
and an ox, all of which have died of
hydrophobia.”
“WHALE,”
The registered Kentucky blooded
jack, is now at Claytou's stables,
Morgan, Ga, for the season for the
accommodation of all those wishing
to raise mules. Every case guaran¬
teed. Terms made known on ap
plication. G. W. Eubanks.
Fair Weather.
Following are a few of Frank Stan¬
ton’s “signs of fair weather”;
“We have bad no rain in twenty-four
hours. Pa has hitched the mule up, an’
is swearin’ at him once more. It does
seem like spring is come.
“The lizards is all come out, an’ the
alligators is sunnin’ theirselves. This is
a shore sign of fair weather, if it don’t
rain before morning.
“Ma couldn’t buy my Easter hat yes¬
terday, because the whole town went
fishin’, an' didn’t have time to soli any¬
thing,”
