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¬ ing this paper a $2 account Tuesday. Calhoun’s funds is in good hands. Don’t allow the lungs to be impaired by the continuous irritation of a cough. It is eas’er to One prevent consumption than to cure it. Minute Cough Cure taken early will ward off any fatal lung trouble. Mrs. 8. T. Clayton, Morgan; P. E. Boyd, Leary; Henry Turner, Edi¬ son. 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. Torturing, itching, scaly skin eruptions, burns and scalds are soothed at once and promptly healed by DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve, the best known cure for piles. S. T. Clayton, Turner, Morgan; P. E.

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.” The man who gave our editor a good dinner, fed the horse he borrowed, gave him an armful of fine turnips, aud then paid him a year’s subscription in hard cash should be_ supported Cfor ongress. 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. Cascarets Candy Cathartic, the most won¬ derful medical discovery of the age, gently pleas¬ ant and refreshing to the taste, act and positively on kidneys, liver and bowels, cleansing the entire system, dispel, colds, cure headache, fever, habitual constipation and biliousness.

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, PROGRAMME FOR JUNE. Opening exercises. Roll call and responses from favor¬ ite author. Higher Geography —By Professor Edwards—and discussion. and Orthography—By discussion. W. M. Pettis— Short—and History Continued—By Prof.W.S. discussion. Recess at suitable hour for dinner. General discussion of White’s School Management, and Round Table exercises in the afternoon. 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 Sunday.

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 S.T.
