Mrs. Cora Colley is at home again after spending several days very pleas¬ antly with relatives and friends in Bruns¬ wick.

Will is orie of Calhoun’s most prosperous planters. He has “laid by” his crop and will spend the next eight or ten days with relatives and friends in Pike and Crenshaw coun¬ ties, Ala. 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, SSQ.XJ X3LBXS- Composed, Compiled, Set tip and Otlicr- \v:sc Arranged Ly Fitzdoodl*?.

If tins week’s fiapeE is dull, don’t blame our editor, for I am sure that lie has been “strapped” all the week. So if the sheet proves uninteresting it is owing to the lack of “patriotism.” Our credit is n. g. at Joe Dauiell’s. Oh, my! but didn’t the editor, the devil, the roller boy, Mrs. Fitz. and I eat kid, and mutton and chicken and ham. and cake and pudding and—ah, well, every¬ thing else that was good but watermelon.

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 the cow. I stepped into the kitclieri, put on the coffee pot, struck a match and stuck it at the stove and things got blazing hot immediately without using a stick of wood. But this is nbt till, the fresh milked milk turned to clabber before the good lady could walk from the lot to the house. “Is it iiot enough for you?” Tenderly in the tomb we laid our darling, wife and I; Aiid,ok;r-the fresh mound swore to quit quati'eiiifg. aii-dj- wife From the sad scene we turned with a sigh, Yes, last Sunday was a sadUay with us.

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.
