Prof. L. 8. Short left yesterday morn,

friends at Beunavista. The Monitor

it said stock law and an artesian well for
Morgan.
Mr. and Mrs. Dallas Kemp are exceed¬

of his experience a business man of long

Reuben Jones Lodge No. 388, F. k A.
is rapidly growing in membership. At the
meeting last Saturday night four candi¬
dates, worthy young men of our com¬
munity, linked their destiny with the
mysteries of this ancient order, a step
toward moral and Christian advancement
they never will have cause to regret.
Young men, you can’t dress in style
unless you see those shirts, latest styles
in checks aud stripes, with ties, collars
cuffs to match, at CcarroN’s.

Though, by no means so frlght’ning,
They are deadly as lightning.
Though one editor may be richer than

The devil did moie for us this week than

Mr. W. H. C. Cunningham shook hands
with me Sunday for the first time since—
court.
It tickles Jule Davis to death to see his
name in the paper; so says the boys at the
court house.
“I see snakes quite often, doctor. Must
I give up drinking?” “No; give up read¬

I have heard of all sorts of devils, but
never knew a devil to run from heat before.
Our devil is summering in the mountains

Our editor gave a fellow a complimen¬

During a thunderstorm lu Cordeie a

of the most unprejudiced expert.”
Young men, when attending church,
should tako a seat on the floor, if no
benches ate handy, instead of sitting down
on babies.
When you come to think of It, a man’s
enemies often do him as much good as
his friends. They are sometimes
more useful to him.
On Monday last I had tho pleasure of
shaking hands with friends I don't seo

Dr. Griffin.
Our pet goat devoured a dollar’s worth

If thore had’ been a “blue book” for
Nazareth in the year 39, no places would

And 1 wouldn’t mind that;
But she drives mo to grief

Mrs. Fitzdoodle. when a girl, was
dressed by her intimate friends as “Miss
Honey.” I don’t know whether she was
honey then or just a sweet girl, but she
has lots of honey in her composition now
for I have to buy about 20 pounds of tho
article every two weeks to supply her side
of the table.
Since a small boy I have heard the good
old country fiddlers play two popular airs,
“A Rocky Road to Milledgeville,” and
“Hell Broke Loose in Georgia.” From
the number of suicides, rapes, strikes,swin-
dies, murders, etc reported In the papers
one has cause to believo that hell has
broke loose not only In Georgia, but
throught the country.
A western exchange says: “The man
who wipes his nose on his sleeves, picks
his teeth with a fork, squirts tobacco juice
on the cook stove, rides to mill with corn
in one end of the sack and a stone in the
other, drives to market with hickory bark
lines, deposits his money in his last win¬
ter’s sock, insists o:r paying his taxes in
coon skins and wild honey, fastens one
galus with a wooden peg ai/<l wears, ’pos¬
sum pants, Is the same old rooster who has
no use for his home paper, and his brother
is the fellow who tries to do business in
town without advertising.
One of the boys at the court house
told the following yarn the other
“Away up on Lookout mountain, on the
smooth surface of a rook overhanging a
deep cavern an enthusiastic member of
a neighboring Y. M. C. A. painted the fol-
lowing that sinners might read and tako
warning,‘what shall I do to be saved?’|A
wicked medicine man came along and
painted uudor noath the bold letters of
warning, ‘Take Tut’s pills!” A wag of a
tourist, with paint and brush, finished up
the sign by adding, ‘And prepare to meet
thy God!’ ”
Mr. P. S. Barbre, who was a long and
pitient sufferer from consumption, died
at his homo a few miles oast of Morgan
last Saturday. His remains were buried
at Leary Saturday with Masonic honors.
To his companion, relatives and friends
the Monitor extends sympathy, To die
is easy, but to live a just life is hard, and
but few men reach the heighth of Chris¬
tian manhood exemplified by Mr. Barbre.
Sick headache can be quickly and com¬
pletely overcome by using those famous
little pills known as “DeWltt's Little
Early Riaeis.” S. T. Clayton, Morgan;
P. E. Boyd, Leary; Henry Turner, Edison.
The Monitor records the death of Mrs.
James P. Duncan with sorrow. She died
at her home Saturday afternoon. Mr.
Duncan, the section master at Walker
Station on the Albany and Columbia Ex¬
tension, is to-day grieving for his com-
panion, but God knows best, and the
men who suffer the loss of their nearest
and dearest ones should humbly submit
to His will. The remains of this good
lady were intered at Leary Sunday after¬
noon.

Mr. J. E. Bridges Passes Away.
The above will be sad news to his
many friends, and to the community
at large, for Mr. Bridges was known
throughout the State.
His death, which occurred at his
home near Milford, Baker county, at
5 o’clock Saturday morning, was
momentarily expected by his family
aud friends, yet a feeling of sorrow
pervaded the community when the
dread summons came.
Mr. Bridges’ life was sapped away
by that fatal disease consumption.
He realized that the disease was in¬
curable, aud from the first seemed to
be resigned to his fate, making all
earthly preparations in the way of
getting his business in shape and
bidding his friends good-bye.
Mr. Bridges was born in Upson
county, Ga., in 1835. For a number
of y ears he lived at Brooksville,
Randolph county. He died in his
sixty-second year, having spent a
ong and useful life.leaving a wife and
seven children. He was a prominent
member of the Missionary Baptist
church, his membership being at
Betlieny church Baker County at
his death.
The remains were followed to the
grave by the family connections, ac
compared by many friends. The
