Try tlie new Soda Fountain at Tinsley’s Large congregations attend divine vices at our churches Sunday. The gardens around town are booming. So is the price of meat! Mr. C, W. Hudgins, Williamsburg’s popular depot agent, was in town Tues¬ day. Mr. S. J. Itiley lost a fine mule last week. He bought it one day and it died the next. Mrs. Dr. Roberts, accompanied by Miss Willie Rodgers, visited home folks this week. The many friends of Mrs. J. N. Rogers will be glad to know that she reached home safely. Mr. Tom Elder, Clayton’s popular sales¬ man, is justly proud of a handsome and convenient thread case. You should go see it. _ Dr. J, N. Isler has located at Meiggs, Ga.,a thriving little city between Albany and Thomasville. Success to you Doctor. Mr. A. W. (Buck) Hawk, who has made Dothan, Ala., his home for some months, is at home for a few weeks. Mrs. S. E, Laws is offering a valuable piece of property for sale. Look under the head of new advertisements for the notice. _____ 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 Dr. J. B. George visited Albany Tues¬ day. Say, boys, you bad batter “get onto” the schedule. The members of Reuben Jones Lodge No. 388, F, and A. M., met in their hand¬ 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 spent about an hour with each school. 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 liis family honored him with a sumpt- nous dinner, consisting of all the sub, stantials and delicacies of the seasoD. Among the prominent guests at the spread were Re*. Z. T, Weaver and w.fp of Shellman, L. H. Davis and Misses Gin- Dozier and Mamie McDaniel.

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¬ ticing at onr local bar. Ask Lum Mans¬ 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- Mitt’s Little Early Risers. Small pill, safe pill, best pill, S. T. Clayton, Mor¬ gan; P. E. Boyd, Leary. Henry Turner, Edison. 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. A Sure Thing: for Yon.

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 farmer. 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 visit at Mr. Jordan’s very often since the widow came down. J. T. Johns made^a short trip to Be¬ nevolence Monday. “Plow Handles” visited Col. Britt’s Sunday afternoon. Messis. C. H. Barfield and A. P. Ste¬ vens called on their best girls Sunday.

Sterling Remedy Co.,Chicago or New York. 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.
