Frank Cheney says Shellman is a fine
little city, but be is obliged to visit us
now and then. Ho and Mr. Sandlin
were here Sunday.
A popular young lady of Morgan, who
is very fond of music, will entertain com¬
pany from Cnthbert Sunday “if it
doesn’t rain.”
Can not same thrifty farmer butcher a
fat beef and bring it to town? Fresh
meat does not agree with me, but then I
like to see my neighbors enjoy life.
Professor Short informs the Monitor
that his school is progressing nicely with
the commencement programme, and that
he is receiving the proper encouragement.
It is learned that Mr. W. T. Morgan
has been awarded the contract to rebuild
every bridgo in Baker county which
was washed away by the recent flood.
Messrs. Paul Dozier S. T. Clayton and

some now lodge room Saturday night aud
did some excellent work.
Judge J. J. Beck, our county school
commissioner, accompanied by Mrs.
Beck, visited three of his schools
Tuesday, riding about thirty miles. He

Last Monday a small dry weather
cyclone struck an outhouse on Mr. Win,
Goff’s place a few miles west of here, and
tore off the plank roof which was fastened
on with 10 penny nails.
I heard a young lady say, Tuesday
evening, that soda water was more de-
licious when a widower carried it across
the square than at any other time. She
was sitting on the court house verandah
when she said it, too.
Rev. Z. T. Weaver, pastor of the Bap¬
tist church, excelled himself Sunday
night, we think. He seldom preaches a
sorry sermon, but the one he delivered
on this occasion was simply grand. His
text was the 1st verse of the second chap¬
ter of 1st John.
A large number of our friends from
Leary, Williamsburg, Dickey, Folks,
Edison, Shellman and Dawson visited
Morgan Saturday and Sunday and not
an ugly face was seen upon our streets or
the least bit of misbehavior noticed.
Morgan’s citizens are courteous and kind,
and her visitors are numerous each week.
Last Saturday was Mr. J. S. Riley’s
forty-seventh birthday, and on Sunday

“He stood on the bridge at midnight,
And the way he swore was a sin,
Yet do not condemn him lightly,
Twas the bridge of his violin. ”

Ice-cold Soda at Tinsley’s. Try
a glass.
Our devil says that soda at Tinsleys is
“out of sight.”
The hoys say a new attorney is prac¬

field about it.
Most of Morgan’s young men are moral,
thrifty, go-ahead fellows, and the Moni¬
tor wishes them well.
Everything was so still you could have
heard a “gumdrop”at the Baptist church
Sunday morning when a certain good-
looking M. D. walked in.
Mr. S. T. Clayton is a yonng but suc¬
cessful farmer. If fair dealing, pluck
and energy counts Tom will succeed in
all of his undertakings.
The boys are now puzzled about that
cakewalk business—they are anxious to
know whether it was Cox or Hudgins
who walked oil with the cake.
We’ve got a cow, and she’s as hungry
looking as our editor and about as thin
as Judge Monroe’s Spider. But she’s a
daisy, and is picking up nicely, thank you.
It’s a good thing that the .doctors of
Morgan are rich men, for the health of
the community is generally so good that
the practice they do wouldn’t keep up a
Chinaman,
The disgruntled may grunt and the
kickers may kick, but Morgan is bound
to grow. The Monitor knows of sev-
eral substantial improvements to be
started up soon.
Our editor says he wants a good corre¬
spondent for the Monitor at Shellman
as the paper is well patronized by the
good people of that thriving little city,
and are entitled to a column a week of
p ve j oca [ news.
“Here’s a piece of very bad news for
the boys and girls. An Ohio physician
has declared that 'kissing is ^n unhealthy
habit, and constitutes a menance to tho
public health.’ And just think—young
folks WILL kiss each other ; and the
older they get the worse they aro at it!
“I suppose yon are sticking to your
Carter Tate,” said a merchant to a North
Georgia larrner last Saturday. “No,
sir,” was the quiet reply. “I am stick¬
ing to my tater cart. You see Carter
Tate is well enough, but iny tater cart
helps me to make a living.”—Ex.
It is surprising what a “wee bit of a
thing” can accomplish. Sick headache,
constipation, dyspepsia, sour stomach,
dizziness, are quickly- banished by De-

My better half and my heiress went
fishing. They fed away to the roaches
about 5 pounds of fine eehvorms, broke
a whole nickel’s worth of hooks, but not
even a “stumpknocker” did they bring
home! I am seriously thinking of
changing my wiLl aud suing fora divorce
unless they will agree to pick blackber¬
ries.
The yonng people of the Blakely Band
and Dramatic Company were treated
somewhat roughly while giving a per¬
formance at Arlington Tuesday night of
last week by a crowd of toughs of that
town. Come over to Morgan, boys, with
your band and show. You will get an
appreciative audience and courteous
treatment.
I guess I can keep cool and let my hair
grow this summer if my popularity con¬
tinues. Truman Tinsley and Joe Dan-
iell is running fine soda founts, and Mrs.
Mattie Thornton furnishes ice cream al-
most too good for a printer to eat (you
know it is par excellence). Hope our
editor will be complimented with season
tickets, as I can go to Tom Thornton for
my ice cold beer.
Gee whiz! but wasn’t that a disap¬
pointed congregation Sunday? Some
people know exactly how to play upon
the sympathies of the inquisitive. Madam
Rumor had given it out that a certain
very popular young couple would be
married at the church immediately after
the morning services. Both the reported
bride and groom were there, but they
would not get married just for spite.
Never mind, it’s never too late to do
good,
“How can I interest rich people and
draw them to my ciiurch?”jiskecl a min-
ls ter recently. “Preach against indis-
criminate giving,” replied a cynical look¬
ing man. Harp upon the idea that chari¬
ty begins at home. Take this line and
every old Sliylock in town will go to
your church aud siug your praises.”
“Are you in earnest, brother?” “Yep.”
A certain venerable doctor of Morgan
has a fine pet pig that he calls Tom.
Tom’s hair grew so long that he suffered
a great deal with heat (or mange), and
a good friend,of the doctor’s caught the
pig and sheared him. At night the doc¬
tor called Tom for his supper, up he
came and whack! bimi! biff!!! “Sewy”
whackll “Sewy Sir, You are not Tom!”
Now the boys say the doctor came near
killing his own pig before he caught on.
Poor Tom would come every time he
was called.

Your scribe attended chinch at Elam
Sunday, and heard a very tin:: discourse
by rhe pastor, Rev. J. TV. Sauls. His
greatest theme was the importance of
obtaining divine wisdom, and that young
people strive earnestly to obtain this
wisdom. May God impress this subject
upon the minds of all that heard, for wis¬
dom is the foundation to godliness.
Mr. Peter Barentine died at his home
near Bethel last Sunday, and liis remains
were laid to rest at New Prospect church.
Mr. Baratine was one of Randolph’s
oldest citizens, and one of our former
neighbors. His family and relatives have
our heartfelt sympathy in their bereave¬
ment.
Mr. Grant and wife from New Albany
attended preaching at Elam Sunday.
Miss Stella Stevens is spending a while
in Edison teaching for her brother, Prof.
Hump, who is on a visit to home folks.
The groundpea shelling at the home of
Mr. Bryant Linch last Saturday night
was greatly enjoyed by all, and the young
folks hope to arrange another in the near
future.
Willie Johnson has become the best
“whacker” on Music street. It is said
that he has been chopping on ten acres
of ground for two months, and is not
half done yet. Will says he will “layby”
about the 4th of July if lie progresses in
the future as well as in the past.
Ini am sorry to learn that Mrs. TV. N.
Smith is sick.
Mr. J. L. Knighton is nearly through
bedding up corn land. John is a fast

C. P. Smith made a flying trip to
Dawson Sunday. [Didn’t know Silver-
ton owned a flying machine.—F itz.]
The picnic at William’s mill last Sat¬
urday was a grand success in every de¬
tail, and especially the dance, which was
conducted by the church. I am sorry
our young people have no more discre¬
tion.
Messrs. K. M. Stevens and John Johns

widow came down.

Pardoned.
Mr. J. B. Duke, who, it will be re¬
membered, moved to Texas some
years ago, was pardoned by the Gov¬
ernor of that State from a five years
sentence to the penitentiary.
Last year one of Duke’s neighbors
borrowed his gun for several days at
a time, and while the gun was in his
posssesion at one time ho became in¬
volved in a difficulty with a man and
killed him with Duke’s gun. There
being no eyewitness to tVie tragedy,
and Duke’s gun be ; ng found by tho
side of tho dead man, Duke was ar¬
rested, tried and sentenced to five
years.
Mr. B. II. Johnson of Dickey, this
county, was notified of his uncle’s
trouble, and at once circulated a pe¬
tition to the Governor of Texas which
was signed by quite a number of our
citizens who knew Mr. Duke to be a
law abiding man. The petition was
sent to Penola county, Texas, and
was there signed by asufficient num¬
ber to secure Duke’s pardon after
having served three months. He
was released on the 6th inst.
