Frank McCullough preached of his able sermons to his at the Methodist church Sunday morn ing. He did not discourse at nigit Rev. John Martin, being in town, persuaded to till the Batist pnlpit day night. A fair congregation to and enjoyed his Christian talk. The young people of Morgan doubtedly enjoy pleasure and seek opportunity to gratify their whim; no town in the State can boast of cleverer set than our boys and girls. That’s right, have your fun while have a chance, for the perplexing of a cruel world will soon settle you, and the friends who now you will be eternally at rest Morgan is dull since ■week; the many merry faces of the ones attending school are sadly as we pass on our way to and from office; Jlie playground is deferted; joyous peals of laughter are heard ; hurrying of little feet to awswer the of the big bell wielded by the hand of beloved teacher; no bright faces to you with a pleasant “good morning" you hurry to your place of Yes, the little ones are missed, missed, because there are none to you of days the days that have gone happy of childhood. 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. SGiTjliSJLEiXS- Composed, Compiled, Set op ami Other¬ wise Arranged by Fitztloodie.

Scene—1 horn ton house: “Will yon love me when I’m gone?” “Yes, if for no other reason, I'll love you for going.” Tableau. A moonshiner who had six wives was I arrested recently. The United States Colnnlissiouer thought he had been pmi- 1 ished sufficiently, and , turned , . , him . , loose. The gentlemen who guy each other so unmercifully while, in friendly conver¬ sation at the Court house of afternoons s t 10U ](3 remember that many secret truths are hidden behind public jests. j If yon would speak to what cannot ! hear, turn not to stocks and stones, but j to men in the glow of passion or to j women under the spell of a pleasure. These tilings smite deaf. “A newspaper Writer speaks of ‘a let¬ ter unbecoming a gentleman, much less ] a Christian. ’ But we still think that what is unbecoming a gentleman, must be much more unbecoming a Christian.” 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 the cats are after him. 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¬ ling!” he gasped, as he looked for a real c j ean p] ace 011 the floor on which to rest * l[s hansomely-encased knee caps. •I could never forgive you, if ycu did, Frank dear,” she replied. “I could never bear to look at a corpse. It gives me the all overs. “The trouble of today is that our chureli members are so cold; so indiffer¬ ent to the salvation of souls. You’d rather tell a smutty tale than relate the ‘Story of the Gross;’ you’d rather regale scandal than talk about a lost soul’s sal¬ vation; rather talk of others faults than consider your own. ” At our house we have a pet calf, three pet chickens, two pet guineas and a couple of benchlegged fice dogs, all of them except the calf having the run of the honse, and I have been expecting the madame to install it in the spare room. We are fond of pets and would bo glad for some of our neighbors to send us in two or three raccoons and a pig or two. 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.

Collier, a gentleman of the old school type, and a man whose friendship is worth seeking, called on the Monitor Monday and said that ho had carried a dollar long enough which belonged to the paper. We got tho dollar, and here’s success to Uucle Joe. Not only piles of the very worst kind can be cured by DeV\itt s \\itch Hazel Salve, but eczema, scalds, burns, bruises, boils, ulcers, and all other skin troubles can be instantly relieved by the same remedy. Boyd, Mrs. S. T. Clayton, Morgan; P. E. Leary; Henry Turner, Edi¬ son. Profcssoi Short and a number of his scholars together with a good del¬ egation from Morgan attended Prof. L. F. Short’s school exhibi tion last Thursday night and report a good time and fine entertainmeut. Isn’t it funny that your friends wait until you get into trouble bef ore they offer you advice and then say, "I am sorry for you, but if you will just bear up it will make a mau of you.” Mrs. Dr. Briscoe who lias been in Cothbert with her grandchildren 1ms come home for the summer. 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.

Mr. and Mrs. Joe Daniell were in the city Tuesday. Mrs. N. L. Wade from near Damascus spent a few days this week with Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Perry. Mr. J. C. Price and lady visited Mof gan Sunday. Capt. P. E. Boyd was over Tuesday inspecting His crops. Clever H. B. later of Leary is super 1 intending the erection of the new build¬ ing on the Boyd place. Capt. P. E Boyd is having built at Ills plantation here a commodious stockade and a new and up to date ginneiv. Joe Daniell is building on hia plantation near here a big store, and is improving his already first class ginnery Joe is also contemplating boring an artesian 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¬ ous Cough difficulty beyond repair.
