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.

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.

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.

He is now papering the walls, ancl when the building is completed it would make a creditable appearance in a much larger place. The first bale o£ this - voar ’ s cotton was skipped from here Wednesday by J. N. Daniell to New York by express, and Joe expects 25 cents per pound for it. Mr. Charles Jackson from near Wliit- ney was m town Sunday. We notice some of our farmers are gathering corn stalks. A “fine” crop of this article will be raised in this part of the country. Some one reports that a bear has taken up his abode in the Notchaway swamps ]nst east of Ilere ’ nlul is devastating the corn crops near the swamps.

[If yon happen to get Fitz., brother, you will strike something “game.”] Local Paragraphs. Our farmers are feeling much bet- ter since the rains. Our marshal wields a “razzer;” look out niggers! Jim Monre and Joe Daniell informs us that Tar river has actually burned. See tbe point? Mrs. Cora Colley and children spent Sunday in Arlington with friends. Professor Pettis and Judge Cart- ledge paid our sister town Arlington a visit Monday. Mr. S. N. McGuirt returned from Tif- ton last Friday. He brought with him several baskets of fine grapes, which were enjoyed by a fortunate few. Last Tuesday was regular legal sales day. The entire interest of the estate of M. W. Watkins in Washington county lands was sold to E.T May. Morgan’s young people enjoyed the protracted meeting at N ew Light this week. Qur thermometers took tumble Monday evening, and those who had them brought light comforts into use at night. The Monitor entertained several dignataries of tho town Tuesday afternoon. A melon cutting was the feature of the hour. To thoroughly appreciate our mail service between Morgan and Leary you should have seen the vehicle as it rolled in, Monday evening. Mrs, R. F. Colson visited relatives anc j f,.; GV1 ,] s a t Bronrvood last week She returned Saturday accompauied by her sister, Miss Leah Arnold, who will spend several days here. The beautiful cool moonlit even- ings have been greatly enjoyed by Morgan’s young people tnis week. Nature surely provides for the pleas- ure of her children, and very de¬ spondent must be the person who Joes not appreciate her caresses. Mr. J. B. Steadam, our clever tax re- ceiver, has the never dying gratitude and best wishes of -the Monitob force for tbe largest and finest watermelon brought to town this season. It was of the Pearson variety, and tipped tho beam at 784 ounces, Its flavor was exceptionolly dlicious. Don’t thin your blood with sassafras or poison it with blue-mass, but aid Nature by using DeWitt’s Little Early Risers, the famous little pills for constipation, billiousnoss and stomach and liver troub¬ les. They are purely vegetable. S. T. Clayton, Morgan ; P. E. Boyd, Leary; Homy Turner, Edison. Rev. Z. T. Weaver will fill his regular appointment here next Sat¬ urday.
