THESMILEOFA LITTLE CHILD,
There is nothing more pure In Heaven
And nothing on earth more mild,
More full of the light that is divine
Than the smije of a little child.
The sinless Ups, half parted
With breath as sweet as the air,
And the light that seems so glad to shine
In the gold of the sunny hair.
Oh, little one, smile and bless me,
For somehow—I know not why—
I feel In my soul when children smile
That angels are passing by.
I feel that the gates of Heaven
Are nearer than I knew;
That the light of the hope of that sweeter
world,
Like the dawn is breaking through.
—Anonymous.

Mr. G. W. Mills, of Washington conn-
ty, Ga. , visited his brother, F. M. Mills,
of this county, this week.
The lumber for Paul Dozier’s new
house is being placed upon the ground,
and Paul is wearing overalls. Go it, old
man, everything is fair in love aud war.

If anyone wishes to see a good repre-
Dentation of Sol Smith Russell in his
great “ P play “Our ‘ Poor Relations,” get
'
Lucius . Knight . to relate his potato story,
Sheriff W. C. Bynum, of Randolph,
spent Tuesday night with Sheriff Davis.
Look out,' boys; when these fellows
hold close communion something is up.
Professor Short and Mrs. Dozier don’t
say much, but they have something good
“behind the scenes” for the patrons and
friends of our high school. You will get
aa “invite” about the last of May.
J. P. Knighton, a good citizen of
Randolph, was in town day before yes¬
terday, and told us that he liked our lit¬
tle paper. It will be a weekly visitor to
his home hereafter.
Prof. C. F. McLendon and sister, of
Hodnett’s Station, were in town this
week, the guests of our accomplished
music teacher, Miss Claude Sandlin.
Prof. McLendon is one of Georgia’s ris-
Mjg instructors.
Judge A. I. Monroe has ordered a
large quantity of “masog,” and you can
bet his friends will eat fish, as they will
just fairly jump into the boat. The
Monitor recommends this excellent bait
to all fishermen.
George Colley, Sheriff Davis, L. D.
Monroe and Rube Smith yanked 25 fine
trout out of the Joiner pond Tuesday.
“Just say that we say them, they will
know the rest; just say that we love them
as we did long, long ago.” O, pshaw.
We met Uncle Moses Timmons Satur¬
day and renewed our acquaintance of
the early 70’s. It gives ns much pleas¬
ure to meet such good, old-time friends,
after our wanderings, and hear them
speak of the times that will never come
again.
To Mr. and Mrs. G. D. Ragan, of the
Edison district, the Monitor extends
sympathy in the loss of their little dar¬
ling. Herman, their 15-months-old son,
died last Sunday morning at 11 o’clock,
and was buried in the family cemetery
at 11 a. m. Monday.
Our correspondents are continually
placing before our eyes paragraphs re¬
ferring to some good dinner, supper or
something else just as tempting. Why
is this tbusness? What have we done to
merit such inhuman punishment? As
quick as our eyes scan such notices we
are almost convinced that we are a ven¬
triloquist. Anyway, our stomach giveB
vent to its sensibilities in heart rending
groans. Rut such is the irony of fate.
A Monitor man stepped into Clayton’s
store Tuesday and was completely dazed
by tho magnificent display of crockery
and glassware. It is beautiful, ladies ;
we can’t describe it, but would advise
everybody to go and see it—it will sell
itself. The object of our visit was to
y eggs. Mr. Clayton said be could
not get eggs enough to supply bis cub-
turners, and would buy all he could get.
It is more trouble for this firm to keep
goods than it is to sell them.
•‘Squiblets.”
I told the girl I loved her,
But of money 1 hadn’t a “git,”
And when I asked her to marry me
She calmly answered “nit!”
—Selma Davis in Despair.
’Skeeter bite you, hun?
Wednesday’s weather was fine for kites.
Spring turnips are rolling in, to the de¬
light of a select few.
It seems as it “Wick” just can’t lose his
nickle with a hole in it.
Messrs. Tom and Frank Dunn were
in town one day this week.
Mr. John Rossee, of Americus, visited
the family of Mr. J. N. Daniell this week.
Mrs, J. J. Beck and daughter, Mrs. J.
N. Rogers, and children, are visiting in
Dawson.
Ed Thigpen, of Arlington, spot last
Sunday here very pleasantly. Come over
again, Eddie.
Miss Pet Cartledge is again at homo,
much to the delight of her many friends
and admirers.
Messrs. J. O. Peavy and James Nash,
of Randolph, visited relativesand friends
here last week.
Dr. Briscoe has been suffering for the
past lew days from a terrible “stone
bruise” on one of his knoos.
Our town has been for the past ten
days as dry as our “chief.” Beautiful
weather, and everybody at work.
A certain venerable M. D. paid in ad¬
vance for two copies of this paper for 12
months. Such men are as “scace” as
hen teeth.
If the paper gave a full report of all the
dances, socials and frolics of all sorts in
and around Morgan we would have to get
out an extra every week.
Our devil says he can milk a cow. He
will have a trial shortly as Dr. George
has given us the cow. A cow and a
devil!—ain’t we getting there?
Mr. Jim Monroe lias returned home,
after spending some time with relatives
and friends in our town. “Como again,
Jim; we are always glad to seeyou.”
Jeff Newton has a patent on driving a
balky horse, He fills his buggy with
small rocks and pelts his horse when he
stops. The plan Is novel but very ef¬
fective.
Mr. Charlie Weaver, a prosperous farm¬
er, a handsome young man and a leading
citizen of the Cordiay mill neighborhood,
shook hands with his many” friends in
Morgan Tuesday,
Just before going to press we were in-
formed by a person of undoubted ve¬
racity that Mr. Jim Plowden, of Dickey,
would attend to business (?) here either
Saturday or Sunday.

Our friend, Lucius Knight, was In town
Saturday afternoon, and while a crowd of
tax payers were seated on tho Court
verandah engaged in pleasant con¬
friend Lucius walked up and
he wished to express his opinion
the way Bob Colson and Green had
him in the chicken transaction.
was given a hearing, and things began
get hot for Colson and Green under the
severe reprimand of friend Lucius. Ho
if Colson was the author of the state¬
that he did not make fair returns
those chickens he was liable to
libel, and that he was advised by a “pro¬
gentleman” that he had a good
against tho Monitor for damages.
A certain gentleman, sitting hard by,
who had kept quiet, said:
“Now, gentlemen, this misunderstand¬
ing can be settled without a difficulty, so
please drop it ”
Lucius Knight can’t see but he can
hear, and in reply to the above he said:
“Say, George, a nice hog jole will settle
everything.”
Mr, Colson smiled, the Monitor grin¬
ned, and everybody laughed; tho peaco
maker’s feathers fell, and all were soon
In a good humor.
The jole called for somethiug else—in
the shape of peas—(with no selvage).
Our poor, blind friend got tho pras,
and, no doubt, the pork; and now Lucius
says he is at peaco with all mankind, but
will raise no more chickens on shares.

There seems to be a desire on the part
of some of our correspondents to give
some firm in their respective towns
local notices through their columns—as
for instance: “Mr. So-and-so lias just
received a pretty stock of goods. Those
desiring bargains will do well to call on
him.” As we understand it, such a no¬
tice is nothing more or less than an ad¬
vertisement for any business man whose
name is so used, and as such we cannot
publish like mention gratis. Supposing
our correspondents intend such para-
graphs as news without being awaro'tlmt
they are giving free advertisements, we
respectfully request them to omit, here¬
after, any local relating to a firm’s nice
line of goods unless paid for.

Our Sabbath school with its ranch
loved superintendents, Messrs. R. T.
Shermon and George Pullen, crossed the
creek on the “McKinley” and went over
to Patmos to preaching, where we heard
a good sermon by Rev. Mr. Wiley. All
enjoyed it very much.
Judge Cartledge, Colonel Dozier and
clever Joe Denied, of Morgan, were here
Saturday.
There are two men living near here,
who were born and reared in Baker, who
never shot at a deer or squirrel. One of
them keeps a breech loader to shoot dogs
with, and to loan to his neighbors.
That justice court sat on the same logs,
under the same trees, last Saturday.
When the logs are moved wonder if they
will sit on the fence?
Sometime in the distant future we
may have a bridge, and, oh, how impa¬
tiently we are waiting for it. We can
but feel a little ashamed when we hear
of our sister counties with their bridges
all replaoed and none across our beauti¬
ful stream, the Itchaway-Notchaway.
What can he the matter?
Mrs. Claude Barbie aud little Pauliue
of Ashbuvn arc visiting the family of Dr.
T. M. Pullen this week.
Do yon know just how the Joiner
pond—the brag fish pond near Mor¬
gan—got its name? Well, here is the
story: About forty or forty-five years
ago, a number of gentlemen visited this
pond for a fishing frolic. The legend
goes that after they wearied of fishing
they decided to bathe. While in swim¬
ming some of the most lively would
swim out a good distance and then “pull
for the shore” yelling “’gator! ’gator!”
A Mr. J oincr was one of the number,
aud while on one, of these frolicking
swims a huge alligator seized him by the
calf of the leg sure enough. Joiner
fought to keep his head above water and
yelled ’gator! ’gator!! in earnest, but the
boys thought he was joking until they
saw him sink. With a rush several went
to the rescue, got hold of Joiner and
pulled him and the reptile both from
the water, the ’gator holding on to his
victim like grim death. The alligator
was killed, but Joiner suffered the loss
of the entire muscle of his leg between
the knee and ankle. Thus it is called
the Joiner pond.
Everybody Says So.

The writer, in company with County
School Commissioner J. J. Beck, visited
New Light and Rest for the Pilgrim
schools last Tuesday. The Commission¬
er is required to visit each school (about
thirty-five in all) in tho county once
during tho scholastic year, and twice if
necessary. He reports the schools visit¬
ed in fairly good condition. On our re¬
turn trip we visited Mr. Tom Cordray,
proprietor of the Cordray mill. Hero
the writer saw for the first time one of
the best pieces of mil! property in Geor¬
gia. We spent a short time very pleas¬
antly with Mr. and Mrs. Cordray, and
thon the Judge, Frank aud tho Monitor
started back to Morgan, the site of one
of the best counties in the State.
Drs. Eagan and George performed an
operation one day last week that reflects
credit upon their surgical skill. Alex
Cooper, a colored laborer on Col. T. J.
Dunn’s plantation, is a hard working
man, but suffers some of the misfortunes
human nature is heir to. Hii wife has
suffered for some time with cancer of tho
breast, and in order to prolong her life
the left Vireast was removed. She un¬
derwent tiie operation splendidly, aud is
fast recovering from the effects of tho
terrible ordeal.
To give an idea as to how swift the
current was in Notchaway creek during
tne recent frosliot, the following fact is
related: Just below Millford was situ¬
ated Barnett’s mill. The mill house,
dam and everything was carried away,
and the mill rocks (wi ighing 2,500
pounds) were washed four or five hun¬
dred yards down stream and landed upon
the banks of the creek.
Mr, Tom Elder was called to Baker
county Sunday to attend the bedside of
his father-in-law, Mr. J. E. Bridges, who
is gradually sinking with consumption.
Mrs. Elder will visit her father the latter
part of this week, aud will stay with lum
until the end comes.
Don’t allow the lungs to bo impaired
by the continuous irritation of a cough.
It is eas'er to prevent consumption than
to cure it. One Minute Cough Cure
taken early will ward off any fatal lung
trouble. Mrs. S. T. Clayton, Morgau;
I’. E. Boyd, Leary; Henry Turner, Edi¬
son.
Mr. Green Wiseman, so the Monitor
learns, is again postmaster at Arlington.
