Some of the boys had lots of fun chas¬
ing a “miss molly cotton-tail” across the
square Wednesday morning.
It is understood that anyone can cross
Joiner pond in safety now, as Mayor
Cartledge and Col. L. D. Monroe put in
several “dams” there one day last week.
Mrs, J. N, Rogers and Mrs. J. J. Reck
returned Sunday from a pleasant visit of
severs' days to relatives and frieiids at
Dawson,
Mr. Dan Stewart, a man of whom
Randolph county should feel proud of
and always highly honor, was in Morgan
Tuesday.
It is a fact that Morgan is an exceed¬
ingly healthy place, but during this hot,
dry weather it would not be amiss to
clean up our premises and scatter a little
lime in a judicious manner.
Five beautiful window shades have
been placed over the windows of the
grand jury room at the ccourt house. A
few people seem to enjoy living and
spending for the pleasure of others.
A,delegation of Arlington’s handsome
young men. Messrs. R, O. Nixon, W. B.
Taylor and Colonel Wood, escorted
Judge Cooke Monday. They didn’t
come over to “court,” however, did you,
Ben?
People had better keep a sharp look-
©ut for poisonous reptiles. A pointer
bayed a huge rattlesnake within 200 yards
of Mr. Alex Arnold’s residence Sunday
morning, and Charlie Arnold killed the
thing.
Our County School Commission is now
paying the teachers their first quarter’s
salary. They leave his effice with a
smile and seem to be happy. Wo know
we would feel jolly with just two or
three silver wheels jingling in our
patched pants pockets.
Rook out for a change in E. P. Par¬
kins’s advertisement next week. Mr.
Parkins paid ns a pleasant visit Tuesday,
and said he would have something inter¬
esting to say to you in the next issue.
Our section would be lots better off if
it had more men like Jene Parkins.
The boys of Morgan High School are
strictly in it when it comes to base ball.
Those of the age of twelve and fifteen
have organized a “nine,” and arc known
by the Micky name of the Morgan Glues.
They say they can clean up anything in
tbe county of their size.
Marshal Jack Riley told the boys last
week that the streets of Morgan needed
work and needed it badly. Monday morn¬
ing a force met him on “the” corner
with hoc and spade and went at it, put¬
ting in three days of good work. A few
of “the boys” decided that $1.50 cash
was cheaper than wielding the shovel,
and antied up.
The Monitor is requested by its Edi¬
son friends to say that on Wednesday,
May 5tli, the annual picnic will be given
at A. J. Bell’s mill. Now, gentle reader,
if you want to have a good time, attend.
The price—a well filled basket—is insig¬
nificant when compared to the . pleasure
yon will enjoy. This sheet happens to
know some of the good people of that
neighborhood, and can vouch for the
royal time you will have. Crowds, among
whom will be mingled some of your
friends, sweethearts, cousins and aunties,
will be there, weather permitting, from
BInflton, Fort Gains, Blakely, Arlington,
Morgan, Cuthbert, Coleman and entire
snrronn ding district country. old The people of the
Fourth of Calhoun never do
anything by halves. Lets all go and
meet, our old friends and make new ones.

The lightning-bug Is brilHant,
But he hasn’t any mind;
He blunders through existence,
With a headlight on behind.
Some people might think the
is original but it isn’t. However
something just as good:
The june-bug has golden wings,
Llghtnin’ bug a flame;
The little tick has no wings at all,
But gets there all the same.
I ate fish Thursday morning.
Yes, darling, ’skeeter bits bun and the
baby, too!
The devil has left us; we haven’t got
our cow yet, and we ain’t in it.
I like to be accommodating, bnt don’t
propose to quit the earth and climb a
tree just to oblige a few people.
The pastures of onr Green-Fiehls are
not as verdant as of yore, and some of
the girls or Morgan are weeping.
Look out, Hub, Dr. Frank Griffin was
in town Wednesday, trimmed up in good
shape and on the look out for pretty
girls.
An exchange says Turkey will be
cooked in Greece. If they are that
grease will not be fit to cook J. Sand-

I put alt grammarians on fair notice
that the scribbler of these items never

REPORTED BY WILD ROSE.
We were honored a few days ago
a visit from our county school
Judge Beck, and tbe
chief. Those affable gen¬
arc ever welcome to visit our
but sometime in the future,
they receive an in vitaiion to be
on a certain day, we hope
may accept, and that thoir visit
prove more enjoyable than the
as (. one.
Miss Belle Bass of Randolph is
her cousin, Mrs. Brazwell, to
delight of her many friends here.
Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Beard visited
in Baker county last week.
Mrs. Althea Stewart is on a visit
her mother, who is prostrated with
dread disease, typhoid fever; and
w hilo her friends hope that she may
be restored to health, some seem
of her recovery.

Mr. J. T. Stewart is quite sick, at
writing, but we hope that ere
many days shall pass he may be well
Mr. J. O. McGuirt visited at Dover
On last Saturday morning a merry
band of pleasure seekers hied them-
away to that famous old picnic re¬
sort, Cordray, where they spent a
day so pleasantly that language can
not express the felicity experienced
by those who were so fortunate as to
attend. A visit to the place affords
untold enjoyment, and when ones
are there to share the pleas¬
ures, it is rendered more enjoyable
it could be otherwise. There
were several young tolks from near
Bethel chaperoned by Mrs. >3. II.
Grubbs, which added considerable to
the pleasure of some of our young
people here. Another party from
the Fourth district, with our Folks
band, completed the crowd, and a
more pleasant time could not be ex-
than that long-to-be re¬
membered day afforded.
Mrs. I. W. Rice visited relatives
at Williamsburg last Sunday.
I wonder what young lady it was
who refused to take a“dam” strollwith
one of our most popular young men
last Saturday afternoon. She had
just arrived and I suppose she was
fatigued.

Can You? I think So.
Following is the way a beautiful
reader of the Monitor sizes things
up.
Every man ought to pay his debts,
if he can; every man ought to help
his neighbor, if he can; every man
and woman ought to got married, if
they can; every man should please
his wife, if he can, and every wife
should sometimes hold her tounge, if
she can; every man should take his
county paper, if he can, and he CAN.

_Hyacinth.
A white woman is in the Calhoun
county jail. Just how long she will stay
there no one knows, as her case is some¬
what a peculiar one. Some time ago
Miss Queen Durance, one of the belts of
the “Nation,” traded her old machine
for a new Singer machine, paying some
cash, and promising to pay a certain
amount of rent per month, so the story
goes, for so many months, for the differ¬
ence in the value of machines. She says
the company cheated her, and refused to
complete payments. The agent went out
to repossess Miss Queen’s new sewing-
machine but could not find it, nor would
site tell where it was, claiming that it
had been stolen from ilie verandah of
the house during her absence. Now the
company has began bail and trover pro¬
ceedings against her. She either could
not or would not give bond, $120, and
w,ent to jail Tuesday. Jut how the case
will terminate no one knows, but it will
be watch with interest.

County Court convened Monday for
the first time in two months, March term
having been postponed on account of the
flood. Judge Cook presided in his usual
learned and impartial manner. No civil
business, aud only five criminal cases
were called, four of which demanded in-
ditments. Abe Henderson shot John¬
son Boyd’s cow, for which offense the
State said he must pay $20 or go to the
gang for six months, Abe antied up.
Messrs. Jamess Keel, T. E. Cheney
and W. B. Jciner, the committee ap¬
pointed from our last grand jury to in¬
vestigate the books of the various county
officers, were busy at work Monday and
Tuesday at the court house. They did
