Is there a person in Morgan who will
not help Professor Short “on to glory”
and success with his school exhibition?
We don’t think so.
A couple of ladies spoke to me while
on my way homo Tuesday evening and
eaid, “we have been to Leary!” I could
not exactly make them out, but they
were as pretty as Mrs. Joe Daniel and
Miss Net Dozier.
Dr. W. D. Cheney held a kind of fam¬
ily reunion Sunday. Mr. C. M., his
little son, Hugh, and Frank Cheneny of
Shellmau, and Mr. Pomp Cheney and
family all came down and dined with the
Doctor. Mr. and Mrs. Cliff Cheney re¬
ceived the company.
It is not an easy matter to “lattle”
our county commissioners. They know
their business. This is not intended for
flattery, for they kicked a little on pay¬

Don’t allow the lungs to be impaired

P. E. Boyd, Leary; Henry Turner, Edi¬

Widower L. D, Monroe made a propo¬
sition to an official widower on Tuesday
last—that they come out in opposition
to the handsome M. D. of Leary by
turning out their side bangs, as they, too,
sport new horses and buggies. Go it,
old boys, and may tho Lord be with you.
Rev. Frank McCullough preached two
good sermons at the Methodist church
Sunday morning and evening. That man
will not always fill small appointments.
He says an Epworth League will be or¬
ganized on his next visit. Let’s all help
him.__
I think every man and woman in our
fair land should be shown the courtesy
due them. I am not a lawyer, but have
a great deal of respect for them, and I
think when a witness is being examined
in any court the solicitor or attorney in¬
terrogating said witness should leaye his
seat aud respectfully stand before judge,
jury and witness. Am I wrong?
Last Saturday afternoon Mr. A. J.
Keel whispered to the writer and said,
“if you want to have a good time, come
out in our neighborhood to morrow.”
In company with Miss Leone Green, be¬
hind a spanking team from Clayton’s
stables, I drove westward, and was soon
halted by Mr. John W. Keel and asked
to get out. We did so, and spent the
day at this happy little home, where he
and his good wife highly entertained us.
I am not going to say anything about
that excellent dinner, for it was too good
to talk about, but will say that we never
spent a happier day among a more clever
and hospitable lot of people in our lives.

All men must wonder, if it all
They know what courtship bliss Is,
How sweathearts’ mouths can be so small
Yet hold so many kisses
—Prof Short in The Wonder.
Bet you are afraid to ask Bob Colson
who borrowed his rake one day last week,
and why the fellow refused to return it.
J |If a man keeps both eyes and both
hands faithful to his own business, ho
knows little about his neighbor’s affairs.
Teacher—Picket, if yon gave little
Dickey nine sticks of candy and took
away seven, what would that make?
Picket—It would make him yell.
I dont believe the girls use powder to
make them white. They wouldn’t do
anything like that. They use powder to
make them “go off.”
One of my yo"«g lady friends says.she
has a beau who always says a good thing
every time he visits her. That good
thing is “good night.”

I feel better this week. A friend of
mine from the country told me that the
prospects were good for blackberries,
plums, persimmons aud ’possoms. Now,
jif this be true, I don’t care a cuss if you
I never pay up.
One of my bosom friends “asked
his best girl to define the words print
and publish; and she said the following
was a good illustration: ‘You may print
a kiss upon my cheek, but yon must not
publish it.’ Ho immediately locked her
fair form in his arms and went to press.”
When our friends visit us at our office
and find us absent, please step over to
' the post office; if I not there stop at
am
the bank or court house ; then if you
don’t fin d me, sit down and wait as I have
to do if you don’t'eare to come out to my
mansion, where you are always welcome
(I mean this), for I am sure to be tilling
my garden soil. I am determined to al¬
ways be raising something.
“One day last week whi'esadand drea¬
ry, as I wended weak and weary across
the unswept office floor, f heard, heard
at first a gentle tapping, then it became
an earnest rapping at our sanctum door.
‘Come in,’ I said, while yet I wondered,
and in silence still I wondered what for
me could be in store. Then, the door
knob gently turning, in he walks—my
cheek was burning, as I thought of crim¬
son gore. ‘Are yon the man who does
the writing?’ Then I thought there’s no
sign of fighting as I looked him o’er and
o’er. ‘Sir, I am,’ I meekly told him, if
he tried to beat me sore. ‘Then you’ll
give me credit opposite that little debit
of a dollar more. I like your paper and
will take it, as long as yon strive to make
it as it has been heretofore.’ I jumped,
he dodged; thus I missed him or I surely
would have kissed him, no matter if the
boys did roar. So seldom treated in this
manner, I was inclined to sing liozanna!
Only this and nothing more.”
Everybody Says So.

Teachers Meet.
In the grand j ury room at the court
house Saturday morning several citi¬
zens deeply interested in tho educa¬
tion of our children, met the teachers
of the the county to enjoy the pro¬
gramme the Institute for the day.
Owing to the absence of President
Edwards, onmontion of Mrs. Dozier,
vice president, J udge Beck was re¬
quested to conduct the exercises.
The business of thejday began with
an impressive invocation byProfessor
Short. The morning’s programme
was then taken up with earnestness
and zeal.
The Round Table exercises in the
afternoon brought out some warm
discussion. Uniformity of text books
was not favored by a single teacher,
and a committee was appointed to
draw up resolutions condemning the
movement.
The day was pleasantly and profit¬
ably, spent, and those citizens who
fail to attend these meetings always
miss something good.
One young teacher was so busy
“taking notes” that he did not hear
the question asked him by the chair,
but when he gathered his thoughts
he “highly entertained” the audience.
Miss Claude you are somewhat of a
hypnotist, isn’t she Professor Me.
The digressions on history was
good, some startling facts being
brought out,

Silvertou Items.
Mr. Editor: As we were so nuccesshil
with our items last week, we muster up
courage to come again. Your scribe be
came somewhat nervous when his locals
reached the wastebasket
I have reasons to believe that the ques¬
tion has been asked by your readers,
“Where is.Silverton?” I will tell you—it
is In the southeastern part ot Randolph
county, bounded on the east by Notcha-
way creek and on the south by Calhoun
county; located about six miles north of
Morgan (the healthiest town in this sec¬
tion) near Coidray’s mills, one of tho most
famous pleasure-seeking places hereabout.
It is the garden spot of Georgia—a farm¬
er’s paradice. If you are disposed to dis¬
believe what I say, come to see us, and
you will find it as tho Queen of Sheba said
when she visited Solomon, “the half has
never yet boon told!” If you want to feel
at home, como to Silverton. We have-
some of the most hospitable peoplo to be
found anywhere; we have had and can
have one of the largest schools in the
county; you can not find a bettev fruit
growing section, especially blackberries,
huckleberries, persimmons, watermelons,
etc. Our orchard fruit is famous, produc¬
ing all varieties grown in the temperate
zone. We candidly invite you and your
readers to come to see us, and we will en¬
deavor to make your stay among us pleas¬
ant. We have two churches in Randolph
and one in Calhoun, namely, New Pros¬
pect, Bethlehem ard Elam. Prospect and
Bethlehem both have fine Sunday schools,
and preaching every Sunday.
Quarterly meeting will be hold at New
Prospect next Saturday Everybody Is
invited to attend. ;
Mr. and Mrs. Pan Newkirk from Shell-
man visited Mr. Joe Knighton and family

Mr. William Smith has returned from

Morgan High School will close the first
week in Juno (the exact date is not yet
determined) with exercises for two nights.
A small admission fee will be charged,
the entire proceeds to go for the benefit
of the school house. The Monitor as¬
sures you that a nice and interesting pro¬
gramme will be arranged, which w ill be
well worth the fee); but remember you
will not be investing in an exhibition
but a school lions® which Morgan needs
very much. Let every patron attend,
also persuade every body else yon can to
come, thereby give encouragement to
the town council in their efforts for
a new house.
Many cases of “Grippe” have lately
been cured by One Minute Cough Cure.
This preparation seems especially adapted
to the cure of this diseas. It acts quickly
thus preventing serious complications
and bad effects in which this disease
often leaves the patient. 8. T. Clayton,
Morgan; Edison. P. E. Boyd, LearyHenry
Turner,
Messrs John Johnson and Jim Murphy
cut a bee tree a few days ago, about four
miles above Cordray’s mills. The bees,
of the yellow rariety, had made their
home in the hollow of a large wateroak,
and when the tree was felled a quantity
of fine wild honey was taken from it.
But here is the tunny part of the story.
Mr. Johnson, knowing a good thing,
wanted those bees. He had no beegum
at hand, but necessity is the mother of
invention. He began to hive them in a
crocus sack, but the sack could not ac¬
commodate all of bis prize, so ho snatched
off his underpants, tied up the legs, put
the balance of the lioneymakers in them
and took up a triumphant march home¬
ward. The little busy bees are now
safely quartered in a nice new home.
To School Teachers.
The next general examination of ap¬
plicants held for Teacher’s License will be
at the Court House at Morgan, Ga..
on the last Saturday in May.
Questions will be propounded ou the
following topics:
1. Outlines of Methods for Georgia
Teachers.
2. Parkers’ Talks on Teaching.
3. Page’s Theory and Practice.
4. W lute’s School Management.
Examination will commence promptly
at 9 o’clock a. m.
No other examination for the year.
J. J. Buck,
County School Commissioner.
Clever W. M, Kersh, representing that
good old paper, tho Macon Tolograph,
was hustling in Morgan Monday. He
told mo that the Monitor deserve better
treatment at the hands of the powers that
be than it is receiving.
At the Court House.
On last Monday Judge A. 1, Mon¬
roe held bi3 regular monthly court of
ordinary. Very little business came
up for transaction. The Judge quali¬
fied James M. Wooten as guardian of
Sallio Wooten, and Dr. J. B George
as the guardian of Irene Wooten.
The bonds were fixed at $1,000.
Mr. John M. Wooten applied for
the guardianship of Estelle Wooten,
but was unable to attend court to bo
qualified.
The board of county commission¬
ers met Tuesday and transacted the
usual amount of routine business,
auditing accounts to tho amount of
$499. 1
