Some people will be controlled by habit. Misses Cullie and’Wick Nelson of Me¬ ridian, MiHs., are visiting relatives and friends here. These pretty girls prove to be an oasis in the desert of Morgan’s bummer society events. Mr. C. M. Cheney, one of Morgan’s old boys, now a prosperous merchant of Shellmau, paid the Monitor a pleasant visit Tuesday and made our hand burn with a brand from Uncle Sam’s treasury. A certain Morgan lady who keeps her spare change any where from the sugar dish to the toothpick holder, chanced to deposit thirty cents in the coffee drawer under the coffee mill and the family partook of thirty cent coffee. Don’t thin your blood with sassafras or poison It with blue-mass, but aid Nature bv using DeWitt’s Little Early Risers, the famous little pills for constipation, bllllousness and stomach and liver troub¬ les. They are purely vegetable. S. T. Clayton, Morgan; P. E. Boyd, Leary; Ilemy Turner, Edison. Morgan is off the railroad, but she does the business all the same. Several “drummers” have told ns, within the past few weeks, that our town does the business of the section, and that they recognize Morgan as the metropolis of the country between the rivers. Mr. Cliff Grubbs and Miss Lillie Martin were united in the holy bonds of wedlock Tuesday morning. This prominent young couple of Randolph were married at the home of the bride’s father, Rev. John Martin. Full particulars could not be learned. At the blowing of the horn Saturday last at 3 p. m. a full attendance of Reu¬ ben Jones Lodge, No. 388, F. & A. M., met in their handsome temple. Several visitors were present, and no doubt a royal good time was engaged in, as the meeting lasted until near 6 o’clock. Sheriff Davis carried Ballard Gipson over to Albany Saturday and delivered him over to the authorities of the Greer convict camp. It will be remembered that Gipson is the Negro convict who escaped last May, and who Sheriff Davis picked np ont on the Neal Creek plan¬ tation one day last week. "They are dandies,” said Thos. Bowers ol writing the Crocket, Texas, Enterprise, while about DeWitt’s Little Early Risers, the famous little pills for sick headache and disorders of the Btomach and liver. 8. T. Clayton, Morgan; P. E. Boyd, Leary; Henry Turner, Edison. Rev. R. E. Wright of Phoenix, Ariz., will fill Rev. F. McCullough’s place while the latter is off on a six week’s vacation. Mr. Wright preached her® Sunday, morning and ovenitig, good sized congregations, and ® a fe™ rabl e impression on our wNle. He is a young man of abil¬ ity, and the MONITOR extends him a hearty welcome among us. SQTJIBLETS' Composed, Compiled, Set up ami wise Arranged by Fitzcloodle. it I May I print a kiss on your cheek?’ f She asked, nodded her sweet permission; So we went to press, and I rather guess I printed a large edition.” Some girls just won’t have their pic¬ tures “took,” will they sheriff? All jackasses do not have long ears, but they have unmistakable earmarks. That fellow took the old soldiers’ pic¬ tures Monday, and his gun didn’t snap either. Every “blow up” is not attended with fatal results. Almost any married man can tell you that. The devil swore off from eating water¬ melons monday. He says McDaniel wants to “chain him.” - Get uncle Tom Plowden to tell you that- yarn about Stonewall Jacksou, Yankee officer and the pictures. Will Harvin says: “The man who, after beginning to eat, is too lazy to is hardly ever too lazy to begin the eating.” Mary had a little wheel — C. B. Weaver was the seller; And everywhere that Mary went, She always met her feller. “What’s a Kiss?— Love’s artillery, im¬ mediately following the call to arms, likewise often pops the question and brings about an armed neutrality. ” A Cleveland woman has applied for a divorce on ,he gronnds that sbe de8il ' es to re-marry. She’s just a whit more honest than many others; that’s all. Don’t neglect a cough because the weather is pleasant; before the next storm rolls aronnd it may develop into a seri¬ ous difficulty beyond repair. Gne Min¬ ute Cough Cure is easy to take and will do whatits name implies. Mrs.S.T. Clay¬ ton, Morgan; Edison. P. E. Boyd, Leary; Henry Turner, I thank the Waycross Journal, one of the best papers in the state, for cele¬ brating my birthday, July 2, by getting out one of the prettiest trade editions that ever dropped into our sanctum. A beautiful old maid of Blakely started to visit friends in Morgan this week, but when 3he learned that the sheriff of Cal¬ houn was an ambitious widower she changed her mind and visited some friends by the name of Strickland at Edison. Me and Joe Daniell and Tom Thorn¬ ton and Charlie McDaniell and Mayor Cartledge and Judge Beck and Mrs. Mattie Thornton and the town Maishal “turned over” the town to the old sol¬ diers Monday. The awful effect of the hardtimes is awfuller than the most awfullest imagin¬ ing. Just think! The awful HARD TIMES have obliged the Shah of Persia to reduce his harem to sixty-two wives. The Shah ought to get even by coming out for free silver and mote wives. I tell you it makes feel aw ful had for people to make out like I am of more importance than most anyone else by showing me all kinds of little kindnesses. And sometimes people “take on” over me when they don’t mean it; but once in a while I strike a fellow who has enough grit in his “craw” to tell me the solid truth abont things in general. 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.

Cartledge paid a visit to their old friend, Mr. J. E. Bridges, Tuesday. While Mr. Bridges is very sick, he is still possessed of a great deal of vitality. The T.

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. has the Monitor a right to be proud?

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 meet at Williams Mill on Saturday be¬ fore the first and third Sundays to en¬ gage in the Social Friends Meeting. We cordially invite alt of our friends, who will be greatly benefited. Prayermeeting at Bethlehem church every Wednesday night. Mr. and Mrs. Kelley from near Daw¬ son visited Mrs. T. B.

Protracted meeting opened up at New Prospect church Sunday night, with a large congregation who heard an elo¬ quent sermon by the pastor, Rev. Mr. Ballard.
