Noticing the dispatches about Mrs. Della Johnson’s attompt at suicide in Now York a few days ago, wo would suggest that Southern girls could dio easier at homo. Tho Macon Telegraph is terribly down on the bimetalist, but, we’ll bet a gold dollar to a nickel that before the next presidential election it would rejoice over a bushel of 1C to-1 silver dollars. Ou July 9th the Dawson Dispatch, one of our best exchanges, mado its appearance after a collapse of sev¬ eral weeks. However, it springs up brighter than ever, and here’s to Wal¬ lace and J ester. The State printer of Kansas has abolished typesetting machines from tho State printing office, and tho ’ , typesetting ... there will bo done by , band —Ex. Tbe old way is tbe best way, anyway. Our Friday night dispatches told ns that Sidney Lascelles was in Savannah when last heard from; that it was probable ho had embarked for one of the islands of Florida without baggage. Look out for the sequel to Robinson Crusoo. It is about as useless for a South Georgia man to enter tho race for governor of the State as it is for a Southern man to try to bo elected president of the United States. But we will have to admit that, the brains of Georgia he iu the southern part of the State as well as tho brains of the Uuion lie in the South. Since our last issuo Senator Ishana G. Harris of Tennessee breathed his last and passed over the river to join those good brave men gene before. Senator Harris was born in February, 1818, and first becamo a member of Congress in 1849. Since that time be has been recognized by friends and foes as one of the leading states¬ men of the American republic. The Monitor wasn’t in it with the boys and girls of the weekly Press Convention at Cuthbort this week, but will state that a better place than Cuthbert could not have been selected. The clover poople of our sister town always treat strangers as if they were kinfolks. Nashville and the railroads did all in human power to make the excursion a pleas¬ ant and profitable trip and the weekly press of Georgia will surely giv e a strict account of itself. Just for tho sake of argument the following is dipped from an ox- change. How about it boys? Those Democrats who favor tho free coinage of silver at a ratio of 1C- to-1 need not feel bad a little bit when the Republicans and John Sherman Democrats twit them about it. l he lb to -1 ratio was established by an authority that man dare not dispute. Ezekiel XLV, 12 tells us: “And the shekel shall bo twenty getahs; twenty shekels, five and twenty shekels, fifteen shekels, shall be your menah. Now a gerali is 24 cents. 20 gerabs make one Shekel. •>0 cents in value, and the 20 shekels. 5 and 20 shekels, 15 shekels, or 60 shekels all told, at 50 cents each, $30, or of silver worth w ,rt.

The meeting is still going ori at this writing, and 1 don’t know how long it will continue, as the good spirit is striving with the people. Since the be¬ ginning of the services a good many visit¬ ors worshiped here. The patrons of our school met last Fri - day afternoon and elected Prof. W. M. -Jobneon as principal for another year. I feel that we have done well in securing Professor Johnson's services. Quite a sensation occurred in our midst on last Friday evening by the elopement of .Miss Bessie Bias with Mr. Ed Miller of Dawson. Miss Bessie is the daughter of Mr. John Bias, one of our most prosperous farmers, and Mr. Miller has done well in winning such a prise. I know but very little of Mr. .Milter, as ho was almost a tolal stranger in our community, but wf> hope lie will make her a good husband, as she was one of our most worthy young ladies. Wo wish them much success along life’s pathway. Mr. Walker and wife of near Shellraan spent Saturday with friends hero.

Professor Short and his competent assistant, Mrs. Dozier,, are seriously thinking of suing the town for dam¬ ages- [Now the Monitor is also likely to bo sued for damages for writing this up, but we aro expected to give the news week after week, news or no nows, and must abide by the eonse- quences.J Just before the close of school Hon. J. M. Griggs presented our teachers with a beautiful map of the United States—one of those hand some maps printed by one of the largest and best equipped printeries in the world, the Government print¬ ing office at Washington, D. C. After the splendid commencement exercises, which ,ve all enjoyed so much, the school building was de¬ serted, and the happy children went their different ways to enjoy vaca¬ tion. Mrs. Dozier and Professor Short, never thinking hut what their beautiful map was as safe as could bo, left it hanging in its proper place. But that map, it seems, was destined to destruction. We have heard of climbing goats, butting goats and William goats but, never heard of a geography goat before. However, there is one in Morgan. This peculiar species of goat belongs to Master Pickett Riley. Ho is very gentle and the children of Morgan have enjoyed many rides behind him. One day while mean¬ dering in search of more knowledge, as well as tobacco, cigar stumps, tin cups and other articles of food peculiar to a goat’s palate, Billy noticed the school house door stand¬ ing ajar, and in ho walked. After an inspection of the temple of learn¬ ing he spied the map. It was pretty, printed in so many different colors on such nice cloth. Billie thought it the nicest piece of paper ever de¬ voured by one of his tribe, so he quietly went at it, and wheu discov¬ ered, he had “d^vomed Mexico, drank the gulf dry and ran out with the United States iu his mouth.” As to whose fault it is that thp map has been destroyed, the .Mon¬ itor will not attempt to say, but it is hinted around that Billie is a Bovver goat and ate the map just to spite Hon. Jim Griggs and his constituents.

What Becomes of Ships Which Sink to the Bottom of the Sea. Wiiat becomes of the ship that sinks in midooean? If it is of wood, it tabes, iu the first place, considerable time for it to roach the bottom. In 100 or more fathoms of water a quarter of an hour will elapse before the ship reaches hot- tom. It sinks slowly, and, wheu the hot-i tom is reached, it falls gently into the’ soft, oozy bed, with no orasli or break- iug, Of course, if it is laden with pig iron or corresponding substances, or if it is an iron ship, it sinks rapidly and some- times strikes the bottom with such force as to smash iu pieces. Once sunken ship becomes the prey of the countless 1 inhabitants of tho ocoan ’ Thoy swarm over and through the great boat and make it their borne Be- sides this they cover ovory inch of the boat with a thick layer of lime This takes time, of course, and when one generation dies another continues the work, until finally the ship is so laden with . ,,, heavy , incrustations, ... corals, , sponges and barnacles that, if wood, the oreak- mg timbers fall apart and slowly but surely are absorbed iu the waste at the sea bottom. Iron vessels are demolished more quickly than those of „ wood, , which may last for centuries. The only metals that withstand the ohemicnl action of the waves are gold and platinum, and glass also seems unaffected. No matter how long gold may be hidden in tho ocean, it will always bo gold when recovered, and this fact explains the many roman- tic and adventurous searches after deu submarine treasures lost in ship- wrecks.—Exchange. --- j Don't U Tobacco Spit and Smoke tobacco Your using Life easily Away, ^nlw "' ant t0 SS iito airt vigor,’ i the wonder-worker, that makes weak men Over 4(10,000cured. t ?, Buy n No-To-Bac wofiay*- of druggist, under your guarautoe to cure, 50c or j it .00.

About six feet away from her, aerosf the aisle, was an empty seat, which ai the next station was filled by a man with a sample case. He was 50 years oi »ge or thereabout and was quite as dap- P eI harking as if he were 30 and still the knight to please every fair dame who se her soft eyes upon him The lady was young and pretty, ‘Witli perhaps a shade too much display id her makeup, but still one could hardly say that, for all is not geld that glitters in sucb C8S0R -<w words to that effect. When the man had sat down in the Y3CaEt seat and composed bimse lf for the journey before him, be began to look . t „„,with bl. enviroi.mento, and in the course of his visual wanderings bis eyes fell upon the young lady. He gave a slight start, as people do when they think they see sornebod y they know, and looked again, >p be ] ad y wasn’t looking, ’ of course. But she wasn’t asleep. Not in the slightest. After a minute or two or three or four of hesitating investigation the trav- , eling man, for it was he, arose and very ■ p 0 ]itely and deferentially approached the young Jsdy. It was done as if be had been praetic- in 8 that sort of thing ever since he had ! P ioked a P tb e first sample case. Either that or he was to the manner born. ,,, 1 beg your pardon,” , ,, he , said .. as she , turned from the window to meet him j ! with a half startled, fawnlike move- ment not altogether unusual on such occasions, "aren’t you Miss Morton of i | Philadelphia? ’ ^ ^ " “You don’t look like a man,” she re- plied with an insolent air, “who would try to work as old a racket as that on I ma £) 0 j ] 00 ]j g0 green as that?” his turn to gaze at her in U e 1 wonder <jn, tnut s an right, „ sbo laughed, : moving over to make room beside her, 1 « "and i I’ll forgive Yon know I you. am not Miss Morton of Philadelphia or any¬ where else, and so do I know it.

KILLING WOLVES. Some of the Methods Used to Get Rid of the Pests. Whole families of the animals are makes its home by getting on the side i .of a dirt gulch and burrowing straight ia ward until a safe distance from the surface is reached. There her young are born and raised to sturdy cub estate. When a cowboy locates a den in ^ bicb be belieTO « tbo “tire family to be gathered, a composite mass of cotton, saturated with damp flour sulphur and other noxious smelling substances, is thrust into the den and set on fire. The mouth of the hole is then filled with clay tamped down solidly, and the im¬ prisoned wolves are speedily suffocated within. In this way from 6 to 10 and 11 wolves, young and old, are wiped out at one stroke. Another effective method i3 to bore four or more holes in a flat piece of board and plug them up with beef fat soaked in strychnine. The odor of the fat attraots any wolves that may be in the vicinity, and they lick the fat vora¬ ciously until the leavening of poison does its work upon them and they drop dead. Very often as many as a dozen wolves are killed off by this process be¬ fore the fat in the holes is exhausted. Strychnine inclosed in capsules is also used. The capsule is thrust into a slit cut in a chunk of beef, and the wolf, bolting the meat whole, falls an easy victim. Steel traps, baited with raw beef, are also tried with fair success.— Denver Republican. Reading Women Organize.

A Confused Judge. An English lawyer who had a habit of dropping his h’s was one day prose- eating before Mr. Justice Lawrence a man for stealing, among other things, a halter. Constantly and consistently he spoke of “ ’alter,” and after an hour or so of this the judge summoned the clerk of assize and seriously asked him, “Is this the crown court?” “Yes, my lord, I believe so,” was the answer of the wondering official. “Thank you. I am relieved. I thought I had found my way into an ecclesiastical tribunal.” !
