Man's a vapor full of woes:
Starts a paper, and up he goes.
A “sell” of others may bring you to
cell.
Our paper should not be dry—-we
it down" every week.
We grieve most for those who are
dead, out yet dead to us.
Billy came in to see us one day this
week, but didn’t have long to tarry.
Our editor says he wishes he had been
born a millionaire Instead of a statesmen,
I get so hot these days that I often wish
I had bean born rich instead of good-
looking.
Age is the one only “Man of the Sea”
which no Sinbad has ever succeeded in
shaking from his shoulders.
Our barber can handle clippers on your
head as well as ho can nippers on your
wrist. Try him.
No one about here can catch fish out of
a muddy creek except Lum--, excuse
me, boys; I had forgotten it was two times
talk.
Our editor says lots of nice(?) things at
times, but if you want to hear his prettiest
little speech, just step in with a big melon
or a lot of nice poaches.
When you open your heart to let in a
sin, you cannot know but that this sin
shall look the door behind it and neyer go
out again.
The other side of this week’s paper is
better than this side—but we didn’t get it
up. However, when we sell our whiteoak
cotton baskets we will buy more type, a
little masog and do just as well.
Some people toll mo that when they
want their name in the paper they will pay
for it. Friends, I hate to say so. but if
we wait until that blessed moment rolls by
your friends Will never read your death
notice.
He who loves a true woman truly never
altogether loses hei. Death may tear her
outward.form away; but she shall have so
wrought what was best in her inner
nature into his, that he must needs part
with his very self (which is impossible)
to part with it.
One day this week little Jimmie was
riding out with his Uncle Judge. As they
drove by Clerk Jim Ragan’s com field
Uncle Judge said, “Hit’s a wonder the
squirrels* don’t take to this patch of corn.”
Says little Jimmie, “Why, Uncle Judge,
I didn’t know that squirrels would eat corn
stalks!”
Wednesday morning, seeing the Sheriff
in his buggy in front of the court house, I
inquired which way he was going, think-
ing he was after a murderer and that x
would get a regular Constitution sensation
to write up, But the only reply he made
me was to point skyward. Poor fellow, I
am doubtful about him ever getting there.
Our editor says that if the Waycross
Journal and the Dalton Argus were to
suspend the Monitor would have to fall
back upon its correspondents. Truth is
mightier thau fiction.—Morgan Monitor,
We’ll try to keep him going. Glad to be
able to help out a man who is Green.—
Waycross Journal. You have our thanks,
brother; but when I read your far-fetched
puns it makes me Sweat.

The reporters of this paper have about
come to the conclusion that the old
Knownothing party is reviving in and
around our town. If we ask tor news
no one knows anything, and if we hap¬
pen to run down a poor little item, just
as apt as not some one will a-sk us to sup¬
press it.
“They are dandies,” said Thos. Bowers
of the Crocket, Texas, Enterprise, while
writing about DeWitt’s Little Early
Risers, the famous little pills for sick
headache and disorders of the stomach
aud liver. S. T. Clayton, Morgan; P. E.

Young men, those beautiful and

Last Tuesday, while at his plantation,
Mr. J. N. Daniol hitched his mare so
that he might walk about the place. The
animal became frightened, broke loose,
dashed off aud considerably damaged his
buggy. Sequel: Never leave a gentle
horse hooked up to a good buggy.
“At the old fish trap!” was the coun¬
tersign passed along the “lines” Tuesday
afternoon, and on Wednesday morning
Col. L. D. Monroe, the veteran fisher¬
man, gave the order to fall in. At roll
call the following were in ranks, armed
with rod and reel, with one days rations
in their knap sacks, ready for the fray—a
good, old-fashioned fish fry; L. D. Mon¬
roe, commander; Captain, T. J. Tinsley;
Quartermaster, J. J. Monroe; “High
privates in the Rear Ranks,” Misses
Genie Tinsley, Florice Satterwight, Sal-
lie Tinsley and Inez Cheney. The party
no doubt highly enjoyed themselves in
the slaughter of the “scaly” enemy.
PAINT 8H0P.
I would most respectfully
nounce to the people of Morgan and
to the public in general that I am
ing, now prepared to do all kinds of paint¬
such as, carriages and other ve-
hieles, houses, furniture, signs etc.
You can find me at the old Clayton
stand opposite the court house. ‘Call
on me when needing work in my line,
and I can save you money.

Death of A Good Woman.
Buried in the grave, born on high—
Cherished on earth will bloom like a
Love flower,
immortal shall never die;
Heaven ble-ss thee in—the parting hour.
Again it is the sad duty of the Mos*
tou to chronicle the death of one of our
neighbors.
Last Friday morning at So’cloek, Mrs.
L. L. Benton, beloved wife of Mr. L. P.
Benton, breathed her last and her chris-
tian spirit winged its way back to the
great and good God who gave it. Mrs.
Benton died in her 38tli year.
Last week we reported that she was
slowly improving, and her friends were
in hopes of her recovery, but the Lord
willed it otherwise, and to-day Perry is
left alone with his nine motherless child-
ren. Oh, how sad!
Of course Mr. Benton and his family
have all the sympathy of loviug and
kind friends, but what is human sym-
peatliy in such a case?
Alone in God can consolation that
brings peace, contentment and forbear'
anee be found.
Mr. and Mrs, Benton resided just
north of Morgan end when Mrs. Benton
took her bed several weeks ago all that
medical skill and loving tender hands
could do to save her was done, but all to
no avail—Death claimed his own.
Her remains were intered in the cem¬
etery at Morgan, at 9 o’clock Saturday
morning. The funeral services were
conducted in the Baptist church, ltev.
Z. T. Weaver officiating.
Mrs, Benton was a Miss Saxton, and
came from one of the best families in the
county. She leaves five brothers and
four sisters, a husband and nine children
to mourn her loss.
“May God be with you ’till we meet
again.”

Contract Let.
The contract for the school house
has been let to Mr. J. A. Thornton
at $550, and Morgan will soon have
one of the prettiest school buildings
in Southwest Georgia.

It is Rumored in Leary
That Captain Boyd will return to the
springs in a few days; that the stock law
election will come off Monday, and that it
will be Nip and Tuck, but that Tuck is
more than likely to get there; that Mr.
Phil Whitaker is off to the springs; that
Phil Smith is convalescing; that a stray
goat was seen about Cunningham’s turpen-
time still one day this week; that Mr. and
Mrs. T. B. Jordan are visiting in Alabama,
Mr. Jordan taking a vacation for health’s
sake; that tho bar remains closed very
near all the time, now that Bud Cunning¬
ham, John Futch and Press Adison have
sworn off, and that Dr. Terry has a ter¬
rible case of “hippo,” owing to the absence
of Mrs. Terry.
Sick headache can be quickly and com¬
pletely overcome by using those famous
little pills known as “DeWitt’s Little
Early Kisers.” S. T. Clayton. Morgan;
P. E. Boyd, Leary; Henry Turnor, Edison.
The Monitor learns that considerable
changes will take place among the hustl¬
ing business men of our live sister town,
Arlington, on or about August 1st. It
is said that Bestwick & Toole will ocoupy
the large brick store recently erected by
Dr. McLain, and Nixon & Co. willjnove
into the building vacated by them. J.
S. Pratt will open np a stock of goods
in the Perry building, and I. Stein of
Blakely will occupy the Nixon & Co.
store. Ed Thigpen has purchased the
Collins saloon, and will take chargo at
once. Arlington and her go-ahead citi¬
zens have the best wishes and co-opera¬
tion of the Monitor.
Last Saturday night Dr. Kent Ragan
was driving in haste to see a patient.
Just above Morgan he met with an ac¬
cident. Mr. George Riley was driving
home-coming toward Morgan—when
their vehicles collided. No damago but
a hard fall for Dr. Ragan and a broken
shaft for his buggy. Both gentlemen
were fortunate in escaping serious injury.
Prof. W. M. Pettis and wife left yes-
terday morning for Jeffersonville, the
Professor's home town. This popular
young couple leaves many friends in this
community who regret to part with them,
a ud who hope the Professor will soon see
it to Ins interest to return.
T. J. Tinsley & Co. have been hauling
saw logs to their mill this week. Soon
the whiz of the saw and hum of the gin
will be hoard in onr midst.
C. C. McMurria of Arlington, a young
Knight of the Grip, was in town Tues¬
day.
Mr. J. A. Thornton pulled up his saw
mill at Pine Island and moved it up to
the Colley place a few miles east of Mor-
gas.
