Little Charlie, the infant son of Mr.
and Mrs. G. A. Dozier, died with
gestiou of the brain last Saturday
at the home of his grandparents, Mr.
and Mrs. Geo. H. Dozier, in Morgan.
The little fellow was a bright, lovely boy,
and the object of intense devotion from
his family. The saddest feature of his
death was the fact that his father,
out on the road, did not reach homo
until after his burial. There is no sadder
experience in a family than when a little
white casket is born from the door and
little empty crib is set aside. May
comfort these bereaved ones, and
them faith to look forward to that
tal home where loved ones never part.

“When your best girl up and tells you,
That you are a ‘heartless man;’
That she wishes to forget you,
;. But, ‘ah, that she never can,’
Then, dear boy, get up and scamper—•
Pray for wings to cleave the wind,
For ’tis certain that she’s scheming
From the wet, to take you in."
I went to a picnic Friday; I am not
hungry this week, and don’t feel much
like writing.
Dr. George says the appearance now
foretells starvation. If things and crops
do he doesn’t, I wish our editor was as
fat as he is.
The boys say Selma Davis is actually
at work this year. Just why this bit of
information was given me, I can’t tell;
but I guess the bells will ring in the fall,
'5”o' This is a true picture of Professor
I Short when he saw his best girl out
— riding with Dr. G. For the lack
of spaee’the I drew young this. lady’s picture is omit¬

I yelled at Col. L. D. Monroe, who
was delayed at court Monday to come in
and take dinner,and the reply was: “My
son, hold on to what grub you’ve got and
get all you can.”
I have been trying my level best to
find out what was in that crocus sack
Jim Monroe brought out ef the creek
swamp about dark a few evenings ago,
but the mystery still remains.
Joe Daniell passed through Williams¬
burg Wednesday morning and learned that
Nimrod” attended a cakewalk Saturday
night and became foundered. I suppose
this is Nim’s excuse for not writing this
week.
A couple married in Americas the
other day who had never seen each other
before. I am not surprised that the re-
porter who wrote up the marriage felt
called upon to say the groom lived in
Milledgeville.
Col. Holmes Powell, the man who
taught us our alphabet, was in town Mon¬
day, attending county court. Mr. Pow¬

useful life.

Mr. Shepard was in town Mondav.
He called on me and did his level best
to sell or swap me a nice, juicy country
ham of his own raising, but, alas! I had
no cash or any thing to give him in ex¬
change. I told our editor about it, think¬
ing maybe he would negotiate for the
ham but he said I was a fool; that we
should be satisfied with “sow belly, ” corn
bread and tn mips. Just think of it!
We are sorry that several interesting
communications reached tho office too late
for publication. If we could publish all
the good articles and kind woids handed
in we would be glad, hut when we reach
our limit we must go to press. Our editor
is realy developing a fine case of the “big
head” anyway because of the growing
popularity of the paper and connty. Every¬
body in the county whoops up the paper
except the officers, but our editor says
they will crawl on the tail end of the band
wagon.
All the dinner that I ate Sunday was
a couple of ripe peaches gathered from
the trees of our landlord, Mr. O’iflf Che¬
ney. My heiress visited neighbors fov
dinner, I sat on the fence and ate the
peaches, whistling “Farther on but how
much farther?” while the old lady rattled
the dishes, ate a pickle and settled down
to reading the last issue of the Monitor
as if she imagined she had dined at the
Thornton House and was reading the
Penny Press.
We have refrained from telling
our chicken story for some time, but
now here it is, for some of the Geor¬
gia weeklies are trying to make
capital out of chicken yarns instead
of their papers. The story goes this
way: About three weeks ago Mrs.
Fitzdoodle discovered a hen that was
anxious to set (eggs, not type), so
she put 15 brandnew store bought
eggs under Mrs, Hen. The hen
hatched about as many chickens as
our devil gets up sticks of typo per
day—two—and then quit her their nest
(as most of females do when
nests are well feathered). We hap¬
pened to have a little pet rooster,
wbieh is also an orphan about three
months old. This little rooster—a
fullblood dunghill—is now carrying
the two little chickens. If you don’t
believe our story como down audsee
for youiself, it’s a fact.

LEARY
And a Large Number of
Enjoy Her Hospitality.]
Did you ever enjoy the hospitaiity
of the Leary people? Did you ever go
a community, the entire population
which closed the doors of their
houses and almost suspended all
pursuits in order to make you feel
come and take a step aside from the
and troublesome path of life and
enjoy one day—for the one day help you
sip from the bitter gourd of
ment and flclilenes the pure nectar of
piness? If you never did then, dear reader,
you missed a golden link in the
ehain of life by not attending the
school celebration held at the
church grounds, Leary, Ga,. last Friday,
given under the auspices of the good peo¬
ple of that town.
The entire population of Morgan received
an invitation through our beloved friend
and pastor, Rev. Frank McCullough, to
be present. Several of our citizens availed
themselves of the opportunity to have a
good day, and we were not disappointed
in the least, I arrived in Leary about 9
a. m., and found upon her clean and well-
kept streets, and in tlxe stores, many fa¬
miliar faces. Our “claybank” was
housed in the stables of clover Press Ad¬
dison and the “devil” (I always carry him
with me now) and myself started out to see
Leary.
We were troatad nice down town, but,
oh my, when we reaehod tho picknic
grounds!
An inspection of the dinner table was
of course first in order, and when we were
satisfied that it would be long and wide
enough; we marched into the church, and
for about an hour and a-half listened to
the rendition of the best arranged“pro-
gramtne ever gotten up for a Sunday
school celebration.
The efforts of the choir, composed
good talent, should be especially com¬
mended. If Professor Covington should
make a thousand efforts he could not ex¬
cel himself in his addross, and if the good
ladies of Leary and vicinity were to cook
and prepare from now until tho end of
time, they could not got up a bolter menu.
Every face wore a happy smile; every citi¬
zen of Leary gave you a hearty shake of
the hand, whether stranger or acquaint¬
ance; tlie exercises at tho church wore
beautiful and appropriate; a printer and
his devil were never treated kinder; every
body want home happy, and we all can
earnestly say may God continue to bless
Leary and her kindhearted people.
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,
