Mrs. Collier and children of near Do¬ ver visited relatives in Morgan Saturday and Sunday. A few ticks and mosquitoes aro wanted by the editor to take with him when he goes fishing just to make things feel nat- nral like. Mr. Cliff Cheney lost 71 panels of fen¬ cing by fire Tuesday night. In burning off a piece of woods fire caught to the fence. Morgan has more sorry fishermen than any town to its size in the State, They say they catch ’em, but they can’t prove it by the devil or the printer. Quite a good rain, accompanied by some wind, visited ns Wednesday. The shower was enjoyed, but the wind made us feel sorter skittish. A few days ago Mr, G. B. Worsham killed a hawk which measured 4 feet 2 inches from tip to tip. Either one of its feet was as large as a lady’s hand. Tinsey & Co. have a complete line of straw hats at rock-bottom prices. The Ordinary issued the following marriage license /Saturday: Jim Green to Mary Preston, Edwin Pitts to Emma Martin. All colored. Rov. 51r. Hadden, pastor of New Light church, a young Freewill Baptist preach er of no mean ability, preached an excellent sermon at the Methodist church Sunday night. ______ Tho Monitor is requested to announce that there will be a May Day picnic given on the Methodist church grounds at anticipated. LeaYy Friday, May 21. A good time is “O, my, no Jnlia, I never pay any at¬ tention to those circulars sent out by the city milliners. Mrs. George Colley suits me, and her prices for everything in the millinery line is so reasonable.” Ordinary Monroe says ho is going to make arrangements for about four half- rate marriage license for the accommo¬ dation of the fellows who have their own consent but can’t persuade anyone else to think as they do. ' If you see the flicker of a lamp through the window of the Eider building late at night please don’t think there’s some dark mystery hidden behind the locked doors, It is only your printer at work while you sleep and your crops are growing. Mr. S. T. Clayton says advertising pays better in dull times than in the busy season. He has jnst received a full line of straw hats which he places on the market at liardtimes prices. Young men, if you wish a stylish straw hat, go quick. Our devil says he picked cotton last year, but this season he found a black spot on the ground and expects to help the Monitor give its friends something refreshing in tho way of news after their week’s work is over and they gather around the family fireside. Mrs. J. N. Rogers, and children, return, ed to her home in Sandersville, Sunday, after a pleasant visit of sevral weeks to her relatives and many friends in Morgan and this entile section. Her father, Judge J. J. Beck, accompanied her as far as Macon. Judge D. L. Fergusou, postmaster at Shellman, fell dead at the plow early last Wednesday morning. lie had car¬ ried a laborer breakfast, and thought ho would run one or two furrows when death overtook him. iralysis of the heart was the cause.

Composed, Compiled, Ser up and Otlier- w -se Arranged by Fitzdoodle. John S. “wrote her a poem, Rhythmic and sweet, And laid it, tremblingly, Down at her feet. It made her so happy bhe did not knew Just what to do, and She told him so. Then he broke it to her gently, That he would be delighted If she’d lend him half a dollar To have it copyrighted.” Guess who bought a beautiful little lamb (not Mary’s) a few days ago, and for what purpose? I had rather rub my hand over the back of a gentle bull than to grip the hand of a fool. Professor Short and Charlie Weaver has a lot of good rope for sale at a bar¬ gain; but just where they got it is a mys¬ tery. In every family’s closet there is a skele¬ ton, so we have heard, and sometimes ours cuts such antics that we are afraid our neighbors will hear it. Our editor says he will give $100,000 for a good spring poem, as he has not read one yet. We have plenty of spring ticks, mosquitoes, etc., thank you. “Mama, teacher told us to say a text when we dropped our pennies into the plate.” “Well, what did you say?” “I said that one of papa's—‘Put up or shut up.’ ” L want to keep on the good side of Y our wife tell her to take all the change she finds in yonr clothes when she searches for the letter you failed to mail, or the one from—her rival. Borne of the boys say that Parham Richardson actually embaced the photo of a beautiful young lady “on the eve” of his departure for Cuthbert. What next. The greatest drawback to doing away with the switch in our schools is that pad¬ dles do not grow on trees, and shingles are too costly for the teachers to always keep a bucli on hand. An exchange says newspaper men are warned against a new $100 bill which has recently made its appearance, and is said to be so clever that it recently passed through the Treasury several times be¬ fore it was detected. Our editor says he nev er handles such small change, conse¬ quently is not the least bit worried. ff yon don’t believe that Hub Davis is getting ready for Superior Court and all other kindjof courting, just|notice the job Richardson, the tonsorial artist, put up for him. Some people believe in fighting the devil with fire. Where is Heaven?” excitedly inquires a South Georgia editor. What do you want to know that for? South Georgia had better read up on sheol.—Ex. Yes, and some of our North Georgia editors had better attend night school and read up on the Keely cure if the wish to keep out of the asylum. The editor of one of our neighboring exchanges picked up one of his metripoli- tau exchanges (for which he is running a double coluin add free) and read:“ The charming soubrette, Evea Hollis Whop¬ per, has just purchased a new bull dog.” “It’s dura fnnuy,” lie said to himself and the office eat, “that these here cit 3 ’ papers publish such stuff and then make fun of me for chroniclin’ the fact that Squire Jim Brown’s cow had a calf.” Don't Tobacco Spit and Smoko Yonr Lifo Away.

Sterling Kemedy Co., Chicago or New York. Williamsburg Whitlings, Wimjahsbubg, Ga., May 6. Mr. M. W. Cox and Dr. Lee Cheney wore in town one day last week buying beef cattle. One vicious brute gored Mr. Cox just over the left eye, inflicting a painful but not serious wound. Mr. F. O. Cox, our popular saw mill mail, visited Morgan last Saturday and Sunday. Hustling Joe Daniell gets here before day these mornings, If I possessed Joe’s energy, I itzdoodle’s brilliant mental equipment and Andrew Carnegie’s money I would not be writing items for a coun¬ try paper. [That’s the way Joe and I got our start, and you see where we are “at.”—F itz.] Miss Annie Perry visited her grand¬ mother near Damascus Sunday. Charles Carver came after his mail Wednesday evening. Strange the nearest way to any giyen point is via Mr. Perry’s to Charlie. Will Riley of Arlington was in tho city and vicinity Mouday hunting up'guano notes for the ever popular and prosper¬ ous Arlington Oil and Fertilizer Co. George Cole, Captain Boyd’s worthy representative here, arrived from Mor¬ gan on time Sunday p. m. in order to al¬ low the west bound passenger train pass. The cake walk at the handsomely ap¬ pointed residence of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Wallace (col.), corner of Cotton Patch street and Cornfield avenue, Saturday night, was not the howling success antic¬ ipated. At an early stage of the game one of the young aud highly colored gentlemen guest, with a confused idea of the rules of the contest, walked off with the cake under the left wing of his duster. “Razzers” and refreshments served later. Nimrod. A beutiful little flower story is in circulation, but we won’t say any- thing about it—you know. ?• OltiS liWilS. REPORTED BY WILD BOSE. Miss Mattie Stanley, an accomplish¬ ed young lady from Salem, spent last Saturday and Sunday with her friend MissEula Ragan. Mrs. J. T. Stewart spent part of last week with relatives and friends at Shelltnan. Mr. Odell Edwards, one of Lod- rick’s most popular young men, was smiling on some of our fair ones last Sunday. Miss Kate Avera of Dickey visited her friend, Miss Ellie MaQ-uirt, last week returning home Sunday after¬ noon. Noah Lee Mathis with his charm¬ ing cousin, Miss Eula Glower of Dickey, came to preaching last Sun¬ day and dined with Miss Neva Stew- art. W. I. Quick, accompanied by Miss Mamie Davidson of Redbone, at¬ tended preaching here last Sunday, and spent the remaining portion of the day at tho hospitable homo of Mr. Jack Eagan. Miss Dosia Gilder and her brother Sam, visited thou sistor, Mrs. Althae Stewart last Sunday. A number of Folksites attended preaching at Morgan last Sunday night. Mr. and Mrs. Sellars visited rela¬ tives at Morgan last Sunday. I wonder what young lady thinks Dennis so remakably handsome. Don’t let such an expression make you vain Dennis; just stow it away in your mental vocabulary for future reference. Cotton chopping is the order of the day, to the great disparagement of all the county schools. A certain young man thinks it would afford him intense delight to Cull a pretty flower that blooms in our vale.

Holbrook Normal College, Knoxville, Tenri., offers to any young man or lady of Calhoun county, standing satisfactory examination, board, literary tuition, elo¬ cution and vocal music in this first-class institution for ono year, beginning Sep¬ tember, 1897, for the small sum of $125 in five equal installments, to-wit: $25 on entering said school and same amount ev¬ ery eighth month. This is a golden oppor¬ tunity for some young man or lady in our county to get a year’s training in ono of the best normal colleges in the south. The conditions are, first: The applicant must not bo less than sixteen years of age; second: Must present to the commissioner before beginning the examination, signed by his or her pastor or toacher, a certifi. cate of good moral character; third: Must declare that the examinotion is taken in good faith and if successful the candidate will enter the college at the beginning of tho fail term in September, 1897, unless prevented by unforeseen providential causes. Clerk Jim Ragan was so unfortunate as to get hold of Marshal Riley’s com- plaint—carbuncles. Jack has not been able to sit down or stand up for tho past three weeks, while Jim has been so proud for the past several days he could not bow his head in how d’ye to you. Professor Short and his pupils are go¬ ing to give us a good exhibition. Good theatrical and musical talent is the natu¬ ral gift of seme of the scholars aad they will give you a good entertainment for two nights. The price of admission for one or both nights will ho only 25 cents, and the entire proceeds will go to the new school building. Let’s give them a rousing reception both nights. Mr. E. P.
