Sheriff Davis left early last Friday
morning with four prisoners for the Mc¬
Rae camps. All the unfortunates were
colored—three men and a woman. There
were eight all told booked for the gang,
but the other four were “paid out” by
their white friends. The woman—Maudy
West—fell into the hands of a good Sa¬
maritan on the train Friday triorCirig in
the person of Mr. Daniel Mayer of
Albany, who needed a servant, and a
trade was soon made to satisfy the ends
of justice, whereupon Mandy was “sot
free” and accompanied her benefactor.
Daring the month of May last, when
all nature seemed to be doing its best to
appear joyous, Ballard Gipson decided
that he would return to the scenes of his
boyhood. Last Tuesday Sheriff Davis
heard that lie was out on tlio Neal creek
plantation and as Ballard is a noted
colored individual who was hired out to
the Greer State Convict Camp for a cer¬
tain period, and who left without saying
good-bye, the sheriff slipped out early
Wednesday morning and recaptured
him. He was sent up for earryiug con¬
cealed weapons and stabbing, and as
there is still another charge against him,
Ballard is liable to serve the State and
wear zebra-striped pants for years to
come. Sheriff Davis says Ballard was
frsy to capture, bat it was hot work to
met to trim,

hoW hot it was in our town the first part
of the week. Monday morning at 11
o’clock the thermometer at Tinsley’s arctic
Soda fount reached 106 degrees. Early
that morning Mrs. Eitz. requested me to
build a fire in the stove while ghe milked

on the coffee pot, struck a match and stuck
it at the stove and things got blazing hot

It is indeed surprising how quick some
things happen for the good before any
one is even awaro of the approaching
blessing. One day last week the Moni¬
tor heard it rumored that the Masons
were going to give a big “blowout” at
Morgan on June 2ith, but when a ro-
porter started out to investigate no
one knew anything about it. Thursday
morning, while running our good old
“Washington,” we noticed that quite a
crowd was gathering Oil the equre. Then
we thought of the Masons; and Ihoy
came, the whole membership of Reuben
Jones Lodge No. 38§, arid wimt a good
,
time generally they did have. A better
arranged or more delightful affair was
never brought about in Morgan. The
large table, built hollow-square fashion,
was loaded down with everything good
to eat. Our business kept us at the
office, but it didn’t keep us from enjoy¬
ing tho goods things of this life called
for by the inner man. Messrs. J. T.
Stewart and M. W. Bell and the good
ladies remembered the “little country
paper” by bringing to the office two big
dishes of all the good things printers are
not used to. Thanks, gentleinefi; may
you and yours live to enjoy many more
such days.
W r . B. Johnson, Newark, Ohio., says
“One Minute Cough Cure saved my only
chiid from dying by croup.” It has saved
thousands of others suffering from croup,
pneumonia, bronchitis and other serious
throat and lung troubles. S. T. Clayton,
Morgan; Edison. P. E. Boyd, Leary; Henry Turner,
Immediately under tho head of
“home news” will be found a notice
of importance to' all surviving mom-
bers of Company D, Calhoun Rifles.
Boys, your old captain, I). D. Peden,
is here and wishes to shake you by
the hand once more, so meet him in
Morgan on Monday next, lie now
resides in Texas, and tho boys living,
those who tramped with him through
the sixties, may never have a Chance
to meet again on earth. Most of you
live in easy reach of Morgan, and
should make a force march on the
Captain’s stronghold. Como, your
presence will bring joy to his heart,
and ho can return to his home in the
Star State better satisfied.
You will get something bettor than
“hardtack” among us.
Don’t neglect a cough because the
is pleasant; before the next storm
around it may develop into a seri-
ditficulty beyouil repair. One Min¬ !
Cough Cure is easy to take and will
what its name implies. Mrs.H.T. Clay- j
