Messrs. Dr. Terry and Tom Jordan, of Leary faced Judge Cooke Monday. Nothing serious, however; just came over to be with thc'.bcys.

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. They are so small that the most tive person take them, they are so tive that the most obstinate cases of con¬ stipation, headach and torpid liver to them. That is why DeWitt’s Early Bisers are known as the little pills. S. T. Clayton, Morgan, P. E. Boyd, Leary; Henry Turner, Edison. And still another fire! On last night between 8 and 9 o’clock, the of William Patterson, on the James Keel plantation one mile from Leary, fire and burned to the ground. son and his wife had gone to leaving their two children, a boy of and girt of eight years of age. and child who was spending the night them, asleep in the house. From cause unknown the house was set on the roof of which was falling in the children awoke. The older ran fromjthe house, but tho little girl membered her brother and rushed into the burning building, caught m„. mo. b,a. .<« ..a out. He was terribly burned and Monday night, although Dr. Terry all in his power to save him. in the way of household goods, feed and farm supplies was burned, the Monitor learns, and this good liquid receive assistance if he calls for SQXJIBLETS- Composed, Compiled, Set up awd Other¬ wise Arranged by Fitzdoodle. “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¬ ted. 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¬ ell has made the good old town of Blakely his home very near all of his long and useful life. “Yoh can’t alius tell whah to put de credit by lookin’ at de surface,” said Uncle Eben. “De cork on de fisliiu’ line dances aronn an’ ’tracts a heap o’ ’tention. But it’s de hook dat’s doin’ de business. 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.

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.
