Look out, boys.
Have you paid your subscription to
the school house fund?
Mr. Geo. A. Dozier spent several
days with home folks last week.
A “sharp” marshal and a Green paper.
Now can the croakers say that our town
is not growing?
Several young people from Morgan
attended a picnic at Boggy bridge yes-
ter day.
“Old Sol” was advertised for in these
columns last week, and he certainly
showed up in good shape Tuesday.
Jim that cantaloupe was “sho” fine, to
which the court house “rats” will attest.
Dr. L. D. Baggs, whose most pleasant
recollections are associated with pain
inflicted on other people's bicuspids,
incisors and molars, was in the city this
week.
Those beautiful and luscious peaches
that hang on a tree in Tom Elder’s front
yard are likely to lead the devil and the
editor from the straight ancl narrow path.
Tom Elder is a clever boy, and can
make beautiful jewelry, but before he
gets anymore free advertising he must
“poney” up one of those handsome gold
scarf pins.
Mr. John Embry visited homefolks
and friends this week. John is just as
good looking, clever and popular as ever
aud Albany should feel proud of his
citizenship.
Miss Inez Cheney, one of Shellman’s
belles, has been on a visit to relatives
and friends here for several days. She
accompanied Misses Eugene and Bailie,
and Mr. T. J. Tinsley to Outhbert Tues¬
day morning to take iu the fair.
Mrs. J. J. Beck will please accept the
thanks of the Monitor force for some of
the finest peaches seen in Morgan this
season. The appreciated gift consisted
of two varieties, the Alberta and tho
Chinese Cling, both of which were
most excellent.
Its is with regret that the Monitor is
called upon to state that Mrs. L. P. Ben¬
ton is very siek. She has been a long
and patient sufferer from a complication
of diseases, and her many friends pray
that she will soon be restored to' health
by the kind hands of an alwise Provi¬
dence.
Prof. Jas. E. Lawson, Wooten & Co.
including Walter Beck, bivouac at Blue
Springs this week. They wilt bs emi¬
nently successful in getting bites—
“mosquitoe bites”—and we hope and
trust that they will have such an amount
of good luck as will enable these young
men to fetch home to the old folks—
the editor of this paper is old folks—
some of the fisli (scales) after they have
bountifully feasted ou “speckled beau¬
ties”
____
2LTlie Monitor notes with pleasure that
Rev. Frank McCullough and Mr. George
Hammond of Leary are delegates in at¬
tendance upon the international session
of the Epworth League at Toronto,
Canada, this week. Quite a delegation
of Georgians are in attendance upon this
convention and none more consistent
or devoted to the cause of the Master
than the delegates from the county ot
Calhoun.
Last November William Tucker, a
Negro sneak thief of Arlington, was
turned over to the authorities of the
Greer convict camp to serve a sentence
of twelve months for shoplifting. Tucker
is at home now, owning to the fact that
he was mixed up in the electric storm
which struck Greer’s camp a few days
ago. Although a Negro convict, it was
commendable in tbe authorities to have
sent him heme after going through the
experience he did. Immediately after
lightning struck the building, so we
loam, the terriffc wind blew down part of
the building, some of the timbers strik¬
ing Tucker and breaking his arm. His
sentence would not have expired until
next November, bnt the authorities
thought it best to set him free. May his
experience forever hereafter cause Will
to be a good Negro and a law abiding
citizen.

“An editor’s life is not one of bliss;
Tf he says a good thing he gets a hiss;
Catching it ever on every side,
Nothing but woe and misery betide—
For Working for what? God only knows—
blessings, we reckon, when he turns
up Bis toes!
It is a rare trap which does not catch
the foot of the man that sets it.
Serpents hiss by nature; only deprava¬
tion of nature makes men hiss.
Dear friends, don’t do as I do, but do
as I tell you to do; do others or they will
do you.
Women are generous, liberal
and can’t give you too much—except when
measuring out the ice cream at a festival,
A man in Tyron gets drunk oil

tor who would swap Bis entire outfit for
that cow.

boyscall their belles'‘flames. They speak”

pared with a flame what is a mere
Some people say that our editor is a
regular Royal Arch Bengal Kicker. He
may be, but ho is not a mind reader,
consequently may kick out of season.
Tho devil wants to hire the ugliest
man in town to chase him out of town,
In an unguarded moment, the other day
at Tinsley’s he refused a drink of Cola-
cola.
Our editor says that if the Wayeross
Journal and the Dalton Argus were to sus-
pend the Monitor would have to fall back
upon its correspondents. Truth is mightier
than fiction.
You can not go through a course of
study after the fashion of a kangaroo by
enormous bounds. You must go over
the whole ground step by step; and the
steps must often be very short and very
slow ones.
There are dogs enough to do all need¬
ful barking. Why then should men bark
one at another, usurping the dog’s
tion, and taking the dog’s proverbial
“day” away from him?
Tho editor of the Morgan Monitor, al-
though Green, is getting up an interesting
little paper.—Wayeross Journal. Thanks,
but we all up this way know it. Come
again.
A fellow told me Monday that he had
written a good local item for the paper
but on second thought he tore It up,
because he thought he might make some¬
body mad. Send in your locals boys, and
I will stand to your back.
When a fellow gets back to old Georgia
he can but exclaim,
“One wish to my heart most dear,
One boon at Fortune’s hand I crave—
Fate made me date my being here,
Let fate make here my grave,”
A certain clever young man of Morgan
took dinner at a fashionable hotel in
Albany the other day for the first time In
his life. After he had dispatched all the
victuals m the little dishes in front of him
he called to the waiter and said, “well, I
have cleaned up all your samples, now
bring me my dinner!"
“Woman’s warm heart and gentle hand,
in God’s eternal plan,
Were formed to soften, soothe, refine, exalt
and comfort man,
And win from pleasure’s poisoned cup to
life’s pure fount above,
And rule him, as the angels rule, by deeds
of peace and love.”
“Mother, is that man crazy?” “No^
my child.” “Why, then, does he jump
around so frantically, yell so loud and
throw his hat into the air?” “My child,
that is Si Monroe; ho has just beaten
Stewart Cartledge a game of checkers.”
“Mother, do all checker players carry on
so when they win a game?” “Yes my
dear!”
A Methodist circuit rider says he was on
a tour of preaching, on one occasion, when
he stopped at a farmhouse to get lus din¬
ner. While eating, the lady of tho house
inquired his business, and he replied: “I
am hunting the lost sheep of Israel." She
left tho room, and in a few minutes re-
turned with her husbaud, when she said:
“This man is hunting some stray sheep,
and I’ll bet that old long wool ram that’s
been around here is his’n.” “No, sister
you don’t understand me. I am hunting °
sinners; those for whom Christ died.
“And is he dead?” she queried. “Y r es, „
replied the man of God, astonished at her
ignorance. “And buried, too, I reckon.”
“Oh, yes; long, long ago.” “There now,
old man, I told you we'd die in ignoraneo
for not taking a news paper.”—Ex. Yes,
the Monitor for instance.
