A certain Morgan lady who keeps her

There are what we may call one story
Christians in intelligence and activity,
because the church has not rightly la¬
bored to “edify” them—that is, to build
them up. But as to those who affect to
be ten or twelve story Christians and
prate of perfection, the trouble is that
the church has not been faithful enough
to condemn them as unsafe, and to pull
them down.

The Meeting a Success.
The citizen's meeting, held Wed¬
nesday' evening at the request of the
town council looking to the better¬
ment of the school house, was a
success in every sense of the word
The meeting was called to order at
4 p. m., Mayor Cartledge acting as
temporary chairman. On motion S.
T. Clayton was elected chairman, T.
P. Green being requested to act as
secretary.
Things were somewhat slow at
the beginning, but finally the mer¬
cury in the thermometer of town
pride and good citizenship began to
rise, and you could readily see
sparks of determination flash here
and there.
After some consideration in a quiet
manner, motions and resolutions be¬
gan to pour in. Some wanted the
location changed aud build a school
house costing from $1,000 to $1,600
but finally a resolution was handed
in by a coolheaded, prominent citi¬
zen that brought the boys to taw.
Following is the resolution.
Resolved, that It Is the sense of the
citizens meeting that the repairs hereto¬
fore suggested aro necessary and ought
to be done at as early a day as practicable,
and that we, the citizens assembled, do
urge upon the council as school trustees
that they do proeeed by contract to build
or*4pair said school house as suggested:
and the citizens herein pledge their hearty
cooperation in the matter.
It was carried unanimously and
upon motion J. A. Thornton was
called in, and, after a little figuring,
the contract was let to him, pending
the ratification of the council, for a
school house according to the origi¬
nal plan to be located on the present
school house let.
A sufficient amount of money has
been guaranteed and by the 15th of
September pleted, Morgan will have com¬
out and out, a school house
worthy Now of the name.

Is it hot?
Aud what has become of “Plowhan-
dles” and “Old Sol.”
l’our scribe had a good rain on his
corn last Sunday, and prospects look
more like bread now.
?. Some of the young people from here
attended the sing at Dover Sunday.
They report a nice time and plenty of
dinner. Those Dover people will always
do the right thing.
Some of onr energetic farmers are fix-
ing up to tnke in the county fair to be
held at Cuthbert, commencing July 12.
Eacli of us should try to do onr part to
make the fair a success, but the question
to every onejarisos, “what shall I carry
at this season of the year?” We cannot
carry stock, for it is too hot, they would
suffocate on tho way ; and if we carry
farm truck it would shrivel up so it would
be no good by rhe time we could got it
there. So I think that people who live
as far from town as we do had better
abandon the idea of holding a fair at this
season of the year.
The young people of Loderick will
