All . i, boys , like to have fun <• ., r L i know, for t
_ I was once a , boy myself, if I T am a tool , ,
rvow, bat I always had respect for my
mother and the Sabbath day. A hint tc
the wise is sufficient.
Our editor says he is thinking seri¬
ously of changing the name of this sheet
to the “Morgan Callionn County
Georgia Monitor,” just to let some peo¬
ple know where the paper is published
“at,”
Our devil says Morgan’s public square
was one of the pre tteiest spots on earth
until the old court house was burned
and killed most of the beautiful oaks.
Our editor told him he must remember
all things grow bettor; if uglier, in old
age.
Miss Fitzdoodle says slic learr.s that
some of the “bloods” about town intend
to have some fun of the “tin can” variety
with her pet dogs as star actors. If you
do, boys, all I have to say is that God
may be with you ’till we meet again.
You may preach about advertising not
panning out well, but I have proof that
it does. A few days ago this little sheet
said that our friends wanted some nice
stallfed beef, and they got it. Mr. Kea¬
ton read the squib and brought in the
beef.
I went to a dance Monday night, but
the dance didn’t dance. I asked 102
young ladies to “sashae” with me the
first set, but they all had previous
engagements. I told one—I think the
last and prettiest one I asked—that I
wanted to see her on the floor, and she
very politely told me that, she would use
her own pleasure. I left immediately
and Mrs. Fitz. can’taccuse me of flirting.
I am really sorry for our editor. All
the schools are closing and onr efficient
and greatly appreciated staff of corre¬
spondents, which, by the way, is mostly
teachers, are all on their vacation, and
just how he is going to “fill up” the
Monitor with live news in thair absence
is a mystery to the force. But right
here I wish to say that our editor is a
man of many rescources, and that if our
correspondents and friends wish to read
the news from old Calhoun let us know
their post offices—we don’t need any cash.
The boys around the court house are
getting uneasy about Sheriff Davis.
Last Monday, thinking it was the regu¬
lar day, he went ahead and opened
Ordinary’s court. Judge Monroe was
not in the court house at the time, but
the diligent Sheriff hunted him up and in¬
formed him that court was opened. The
Judge says “Well, ding it. you had
better go and close the thing, because I
don’t propose to hold an eight days
sessionl Didn’t you know this was
Monday, tho 31st of May, and not the
first Monday in June. Mr. Davis
returned to the court house, promptly
closed court, hooked up his horse and
buggy and left town.
,, Mr. G. A. Rice exhibited a sample
turnips . of . „ the Flat U “tch vane.y in town
a ur ay. e says e n ■’ u
which the sample is an average. The
measured ■j nr 27 , j__| inches • •

Mr. T. D. Elder honored the Monitor

andria peaches Monday. May Tom in

reception we gave to those peaches.

GAY OLD MORGAN.
A Week of Pleasure and Jolly
Good Fellowship,
In which ohr .f'itisens Hhli Their Many
V.sitiftg Friends Participate.
Just how to do justice to the many
social features of the week* not, consid¬
ering Morgan’s High School commence¬
ment, lias been puzzling the Monitor
for the entire week ; but here goes for
ihe best which out limited knowledge
and outfit will admit of.
We do not propose to attempt to give
the names of our visitors, for they were
too numerous, but will*j ust say that every
house in Morgan was thrown open and
entertained from two to six guests.
The fun started in earnest Tuesday
night at the court house. The Monitor
j Ja) j „j ven p 0 ut that Professor Short
-»* «*«*• <«•*«•*. -
that it was for a good cause; which state-
ment brought the crowd. Onr litlle
little professor worked hard, but lie
never would have reached the piuicle of
success but for the untiring efforts of his
assistants, Mrs. L. NY. Dozier and Miss
Claude Sandlin. Of course his pupils
did a little to help out. So, when the
0ln .) a j n was drawn Tuesday night, dis-
Paying an almost professional . . stage in
appearance as to scenery, etc., Prof. NY.
S. Short, principal of the Morgan High
School stepped forward and in behalf of
the new college building, the town of
Morgan and the welfare of her citizens
bid the FULL HOUSE welcome, and
extended thanks for their attendance.
The Monitor tried its level best to
secure for publication a full programme
but failed, consequently we can only say
that the boys and girls tkod the hoards
just as if they had been reared upon
the stage, NVe would be more than glad
to favorably criiticize the efforts of each
; scholar, for each certainly deserves
one
especial praise. Tuesday night the
principal features of tho programme
were the “Shaking ° Quakers.” J “Gertie’s
vindication and “Jnmdo Jum, m
which the primary and advanced pupils
did well. Litlle Bichard Davis led tho
Quakers, while Miss Lilta Hawke made
a splendid much abused Gertie. The
music furnished by Judge Monroe, Pro¬
fessor Lawson and^Mr. J. 0. Davis was
“out of sight” but in hearing distance,
and was certainly appreciated.
The programme for NVednesday night
was even better, if possible, than Tuesday
night, and a packed house encored the
actors almost to distraction. NVhen
Professor Lawson’s band struck up
“Dixie” somebody in the rear of the
room yelled like a Commanchee Indian;
and it was whispered around that the
yell of “patriotism” came from a printer
backed up by Joe Daniel.
NVednesday night the smaller pupils,
encouraged by their kind reception
the night before, exhibited unusual tal-
ent in thereuditiouof their various parts,
while Stewart Cartledge, Sim Eubanks,
W alter Beck, John Mathis, Arden Daniel,
Albert (a) Monroe, Samuel Lash and
NVillBenton; Misses Iris Eagan, Ella
Riley, Mattie Collier, Misses Claude and
Minnie Eubanks and Lilia Hawke, read
their lines in the splendid plays in a truly
professional manner, dispensing with the
services of a promptor.
The leading juvenile characters were
splendidly impersonated by Masters John
Bagau, Lum McGuirt, Pickett Riley,
Frank and Cooper Dozier; Misses Jeddie
Beck, Ionia Thornton, Lula Hawke,
Mamie Arnold, May Hawke, Serna and
Ruse Cartledge and Fannie Dozier. (Our
devil says if any of your name are omited
you must tackle him, not tho editor.)
Of course every one who did anything
to promote the success of the enterprise
should feel that they have the sincere
thanks of the toiacbers rnd pupils.
The receipts netted $35.25,
We vote for a feather in his cap for
Mr. E. P. Richardson, who so kindly
carried we all NVednesday night to the
crowded i.uuse and so efficiently waited
on and served the ladies and children.

The sociable given by Mrs. G. NV.
Colley Monday night in honor of her
visiting relatives, Misses Jessie and
Bennie Brimberry of Albany, proved
to be the happiest occasion of the week.
The young people turned out en masse
to welcome the accomplished young
ladies and at 9o’clock Monday evening
the parlor and reception rooms of the
Colley home were filled with the beaux
and belles of chivalrous old Morgan.
Music and pleasant tete-atetes were

The Examination.

school commissioner, Judge

of our county, which plan, by
way, has been adopted by
commissioners of the State,
Interested, I wanted to witness the
complicated and tedious mode of
general examination.
We found thirty-eight

their brains about, seeking
answers, to some sixty

A glance at them suggested
