The sonorous voice of the whistle of the Parkins machine works it Dickey Bounds business like throughout this section. Ordinary Monroe performed the cere¬ mony Tuesday in his office, that bound Ben Hamilton and Pinny Chester, colo¬ red, in the holy bonds of wedlock. The grand jury shoved over that little “excuse” at the back of the court house, That was right, but they should have becoffimended for a better arrangement lor the accommodation of the jurymeh. The Monitor is requested by Rev. G. T. Embry to say that the union meeting bf the First District Martin Association will con verSe at Live Oak church, BukeV county, Ga Friday before the fourth Sunday in August. Rev. W, A. McDon¬ ald will act as moderator. Misses Cleon e McLain and Lula Col- ley of Arlington, who visited friends and (relatives here the past several days, left tor home Monday. These beautiful girls are very popular in our town, and we know of two or three voung men devel¬ oping terrible cases of melancholy since their departure. Pofessors J. S. Edwards, W.M. Pettis and W. S. Short are now resting Oil their laurels. They are personal friends Of the Monitor, and we hope these talented yoiihg instructors will secure remunerative positions next term. Any school or college would do well to secure their services. Rev. Z. T. Weaver filled his regular monthly appointment at the Baptist church in this place Saturday, leaving for his home in Shellman Monday. He preached three eloquent sermons during his stay. He was accompanied by his sbn who has just returned from college. Rev. Mr. Weaver has a warm spot in the hearts of our people. Last Saturday evening a severe wind Visited the entire section east and west of Morgan. Some damage was done ih and about Albany and Arlington. It is reported that Judge H. C. Sheffield’s handsome new dwelling at Arlington received quite an amount of damage, aud that other buildings were shaken Up to some extent. The people of Morgan should feel thankful for their e cipe. _ Judge J. J. Beck went out to Dickey Tuesday evening, accompanied by Mr. L. H. Davis, to be present at the elec¬ tion of the beard of trustees for the Dickey academy. The Monitor is in¬ formed that the following influential gentlemen were chosen, viz; Seaborn Mansfield, J. L. Boynton, B. H. JohD- sOfl aud T. E. Plowden. Dickey’s school bnilding will at once receive an over¬ hauling and made more attractive and commodious, and when finished will be prettier than over. Col. L. D. Monroe, commander of Calhoun County Camp of Confederate Veterans, left home Sunday morning to attend the grand reunion at Nashville. Ho was accompanied by Capt. T. W. Hammond of Leary. Mr. Hammond will appear somewhat natural to the boys in gray as be left home with his Brm in a sling, his collar boBe having been broken a few days ago by a runa¬ way horse. May these clever old boys enjoy themselves and return to their families greatly benefited by mingling with the brave men of the sixties. Don’t you know they will listen to and tell some bloodcurdling yarns.

Don’t you know George Colley looked handsome in a bathing suit. Wonder if he brought it home with him. Oh. my, but those beautiful shanks. I have never willfully and maliciously purloined a neighbor’s property, but I would be tempted to go into a melon patch about now if there was one handy. I Wish the members of the last grand j’tiry would sell our editor meal and bacon as cheap in proportion As they expect him to print their general presentments. “Honesty is the best policy,” even if there were no hereafter. And yet, a good many people prosper prodigiously for a sea¬ son, who were never accused nor suspected of being honest. We Speak of our troubles; but there comes a time when silence falls on our lips, and friends say that wo are “getting over” them. Alas, no; there is added to our troubles this further Rouble—the finding that speech is useless, and lias no help lu it for us. A copy of the Argus was put into the cornerstone of the Tilton Methodist church this week, and will be unearthed a hun¬ dred or so years hence to prove what crude methods existed in 1897,—Dalton Argus.

W. Eubanks is a stirring and prosperous planter, always on the move. On this particular morning he and Roy were at least a-half a mile from the house, and while climbing a fence the little fellow fell and broke his left arm between the wrist and elbow. His father gathered him up in his arms and made haste to the house. By the time they reached the house Roy was suffering no doctor was close at hand, so Mr. Eubanks went to work to set and “splint” the broken limb, which he did in a skillful manner. Roy says his arm is now almost as good as new.
