On last Thursday night while Mr.
E. Harvin of Dickey was attending
rehearsal at the academy some one
tered his house presumably for the
pose of robbery. In groping about
rooms the would be robber struck
caught hold of Mr. Harvin’s little
tes’s foot who was asleep in bed,
ing her. Two young ladies were
ing the night with the Harvins,
when the little girl was disturbed
cried out. Her cries aroused the
hold, and the intruder made good
escape through a window. Some
it wae an attempt ata more serious
than robbery.

A certain Buck is seriously thinking
of resuming his abode in Alabama owing
to peculiar and trying circumstances
over which he has no control. Even

I heard a friend of mine who sports a
sandy moustache and a wide brimmed
summer bat, bemoaning his lot thusly a
few days ago,
“She shares things with hor husband, tho’
He seems to take it ill;
She has a bird’s wing on her hat,
And lets him have the bill.”
“Permit me to die at your feet, dar¬

“The trouble of today is that our

rather tell a smutty tale than relate the

At our house we have a pet calf, three
pet chickens, two pet guineas and a

room. We are fond of pets and would

Dear friend, did you ever try the
following scheme? If you never did, just
try it one time and y.ou will rest sweetly
in your grave when you are finally laid
to rest: “Take a dollar bill and fold it
several times each way. Then unfold it
and you wil 1 find it increases. Keep the
increase but send the original bill to the
printer who put you on to the scheme.
Then take a silver dollar and drop it on
tho counter and notice the ring it makes.
Send the ring to your best girl and the
dollar to the printer, and all parties will
be happy.

DiCiiiil St iiOcL CLOSES
With Appropriate Exercises—
Programme Highly Enter¬
taining to Citizens and Visit
ors,
___
As per published programme. Prof. J.
S. Edwards, principal of the Dickey
High School, and his pupils, assisted by
the friends of the institution, proceeded
to entertain the patrons and a large au¬
dience of visitors at the academy last
Friday night in the rendition of a well
arranged and instructive programme.
The writer could hot attend, but from
persons present who are well up on such
matters the Monitok learns that Profes¬
sor Edwards’ school exhibition was a
success from start to finish, and that but
one thing prevented n perfect evening—
the threatening weather.
Afterja few well chosen remarks of
thanks by Prof. Edwards the exercises
were opened with “Te Deum,”—Quar¬
tette. Then came the plays, recitations,
dialogues, tableaux and vocal and instru¬
mental music, ail of which could not
have been excelled by many profession •
als. Mrs. W. E. Harvin and Miss Jessie
Parkins made a great hit in their whist¬
ling duet.
Professor Edwards in “Handy Andy’’
was simple immense, while W. E. Harvin
carried you back to “de good old days
ob befo’ do wall” in liis “Old Black Joe. ”
The wand drill, in which seventeen boys
and girls took part, was excellent, aiid
showed the master hand of their drill-
master.
The tableau, “Rock of Ages,” deeply
impressed the children and was especially
enjoyed by the old folks.
Hon. J. L. Boynton added much to
the evening’s entertainment by his happy
and humorous address of welcome m
behalf of Dickey and her school.
The pupils acquitted themselves ad¬
mirably in all their parts, and the affair
will be long remembered by them and
all present as one of the happiest occa¬
sions of a lifetime.
Professor Edwards and the school
should feel under many obligations to
Mrs. E. P. Parkins, a highly accompl¬
ished. and clever Washington, D, (J,,
lady, formerly.
In behalf of the Morgan visitors the
Monitor wishes to return thanks to the
good people of Dickey for the tunny
courtesies shown them. Our clever
school commissioner informs us that he
and his party actually enjoyed “reserved
seats.” May the pupils, teachers and
friends of the Dickey High School live
long and read the Monitor.

well. Watch our suburbs grow.
A few good citizens of Morgan, Wil¬
liamsburg and vicinity gave a picnic at
Blue Springs Tuesday. John Price says
he drove four miles out of the way to
avoid “Nimrod’s” company. However,
with II. B. tsler, wo “tracked” them up,
and arrived upon the ground just as din¬
ner was spread. We enjoyed one more
square meal since the “cake walk.”
After dinner, Mrs. Price informed us
that J. C. drove so far out of the way
because lie was ashamed to be seen driv¬
ing a mule hitched to a “one boss wag-
gin.”
I enjojed tho pleasure of a quarrel
with my best girl a few evenings since, a
luxury I fully appreciated.
While out driving one evening last
week Mr. T. \V. Tinsley and Miss Daisie
McMurria had quite an exciting experi
ence. They were driving slowly along
a shady road talking, (now we can't tell
you what they were inIking about be-
cause we wore not there) when suddenly
the horse shied aud leoking they were
astonished to see an alligator crossing
the road in front of them. Mr. Tinsley
flmnkly • aughted , . ■, and . bagged , , the game,
but he didn’t bring him back up town
in liis buggy for whoever heard of a
young lady-riding in the buggy with an
alligator.
Don’t neglect a cough because the
weather is pleasant; before the next storm
rolls around it may develop into a seri¬
