See brick for sale advertisement. Mr. Tom Tiiornton now rides a bike. Woik on tbe new academy has pro¬ gressed nicely this week. Our beef market is a little off. Give us some more good steak, Bob. The friends of Mr. P. C. Mote will find him behind the couaters of Thorn¬ ton & Co. Miss Ella Riley spent a portion of last •week at Leary, the guest of her sister, Mrs. F. P. Griffin. Fine weather for cotton pickers, and the king of the Southern farm is being handled in a shocking manner. The writer and family return thanks to Dr. C. M. Cheney for several instal¬ ments of luscious peaches and pears. Mr. Adam Harper of the upper Fourth died of typhoid fever the latter part of last week. Particulars not learned. Dr. W. L. Davis of Albany, a leading physician of the State, spent Saturday night in town on professional business. Mr. J. D. Richardson of Benevalence. Randolph county, is in town, the guest of his brother and Mr, M. W. Bell. Tho patrons of New Light school could not do better than secure the ser¬ vices of Mrs. O. A. Rice for another term. Mrs. 8. T. Clayton’s health is gradu¬ ally improving, and her relatives and friends hope to sec her up and about in[a short while. “Monthly Rose” is the latest addition to our corps of correspondents, and we hope some kind friend will highly culti¬ vate this sturdy plant and make it bloom weekly. Mr. Tom Ragan »f Stewart county, accompanied by his daughter, Miss Fan¬ nie, and bis niece, Miss Lucy Waller, visited relatives and friends here since our last issue. The Monitor is indeed glad to learn (and so will everybody else in Morgan who has any business with the railroad) that Charlie Hudgins has recovered from his recent illness and is again Williams¬ burg’s clever depot agent. Messrs. Paul Dozier and Frank Duun will go up to Mars Hill tomorrow to help Camp Ground clean tip the Bluffton base ball team. Our Morgan boys can play good ball, so says the Shellmanites, and the Monitor expect Paul and I rank to get there. A Monitor man visited T. J. Tinsley & Go’s, mill Tuesday. He found all hands, superintended by the clever and hustling Truman, busy with gin and saw. The Munger system of ginning is oper¬ ated by this company, and they also saw lumber and grind corn to perfection. Mrs. Carrie Jones of Dawson, aunt of Mrs. S. T. Clayton, who has been on a •visit to her niece, returned home Tues¬ day. Mrs. Jones came down to be with her niece during her severe illness. She left Mrs. Clayton very much improved. Mrs. Joueajwas accompanied home by Mrs. Cora Price and daughter, little Miss Eunice, to spend several weeks. The ladies wore escorted by Messrs. E. P. Richardson and Walter Beck. Since our Christian-hearted and public spirited citizens put their shoulders to the wheel and made our cemeteries places of picturesque beauty, our young people, in couples, delight in an even¬ ing’s promonade to, through and from the last resting places of those who we knew and loved and those whom we never met during their pilgrimage on earth.' They love to stroll about and read the tender, loving lines cbisled in the marble headstone of some long buried stranger, or perhaps over a loved one over whose grave the flowers have but recently bloomed. In their visits to the solemn homes of our dead, may our young people be deeply impressed tho fact—the inevitable fact -that they > tot, must 4V-'J ■„ LwieUeie. i Composed, SQTTIBLETS- Compiled, Set up and Other¬ wise Arranged by Fitzdoodle. A thief can be watched, but a liar is a sliok duck. Joe Daniel wants to know if bananas grow on a plant, bush or a tree? If yon even borrow a pencil from Bud Cunningham he is bound to charge it up to you. Our editor says he hates a person who will call him across the street to gossip about a neighbor, in place of paying him a dollar for the paper or giving him legitimate item of news. The other day Marshal Richardson lost his bast girl’s ring. It is a plain gold ring with initial letters engraved in¬ side. Perhaps it is their engagement ring, and I think t-lie finder is real mean for not returning it. I think the county court should severely handle people for cruelty to animals. One-half of fines so collected goes to the bridge fund of the county nnd the other half to the county school fund, and cruel people should be made to considerably swell these much needed funds. • Press Adison, the popular liveryman at Leary delights in sending out spank- iug teams, but I notice Press generally sends someone else to drive Ids best, looking turnouts. I saw one pass through Morgan Sunday en route to Dickey, “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 and liver. S. T. Clayton, Morgan; P. E. Boyd, Leary; Henry Turner, Edison. Judge A. I. Monroe is the veteran story teller of the town, but his “latest ’ about tbe terrible Texas pony” is simply «... sight. Morgan Co,™,. Just persuade tho Judge to relate his goat story, which is a little later, and the Texas pony will reappear. After looking at the pictures of the wife and two little daughters of a Con¬ federate soldier killed at the battle of Gettysburg reproduced by the Atlanta Constitution, together with the sad facts connected with tbe resurrection of the! oldtime ambrotype, which facts must have appealed to the sympathy of all j who read them, Mrs. Fitzdoodle said the ! Constitution is the best paper on earth or anywhere else; that it may stretch its blanket at times but always gives the ! news. The reporter had tho pleasure of see- ing his first bananas growing this week in this section, grown by Mr. John lor, and looked both healthy and fine. Mr. Taylor also has a well so awfully crooked and twisting until the fell out—this is not a proverbial fact— and tbe water will strangle anyone to drink it.—Vada correspondent Camilla Clarion. Any Southwest Georgian can swallow a banana (story), for we all know that any fruit or vegetable can be grown in South Georgia, but when it comes to the well—well I will only add that some people especially should read the life of the “Father of his country.” As I was meditatively meandering my way homeward Monday afternoon I over- took a couple ot ladies. They were in an animated discussion, but I can’t say as to the particular subject. It might have been as to the new school house, or the , . fall , ,, dress , goods , , being mco . received , by onr merchants, or “Brownie’A” pun on Graham bread or bread whith grease in it, or the bicycle school, or 8i Monroe’s white bat, or, perhaps, the silly and stale jokes of Fitz. I didn’t wish to hear the delicious little secret just about, to bo re- latedby “The woman iu white,” so 1 cleared my throat, passed the cempli- ments of the day and passed on down tho laue while my fail* friends turned into the cemetery gate. I have bought largely of Fall Goods which are now arriving, and I will sell all summer millinavy goods at greatly reduced prices to make room. Call early. Mrs. E. M. Crittenden.

Teii1uble Accident.—I t is a terrible accident to be burned or scalded; but the pain and agony and the frightful disfig u.ments can be quickly overcume with- c *^^ S. ^ i. Clayton, Mor- pan; P. E. Boyd, Leary; Henry Turner, Edison, County Court Judego Cook’s court Monday presented somewhat of a “superior" appearance, in dignity and in the dispatch of business. Several cases were called and disposed of. The civil docket was the most Interest¬ ing, two cases on which caused consider¬ able legal fencing. The Piouev Guano Company vs. I. B. Manry, J. F. Boynton for the defense, 3. J. Beck lor plaintiff, seemed to put the Judge on his legal metal. After the battle the records read, “Judgment for the plaintiff.” Case will be appealed, so we understand, ! Some shrewd legal work was done by the attorneys representing both sides of this case. Mrs. R. E. Layton vs. T. B. Jordan, R, H. Powell & Son for plaintiff, J. J. Beck for defendant was disposed of in favor of defendant. This case will also be carried to the Superior Court J The criminal docket was soon disposed ot with but very littlo interest manifested, nnd oourt adjourned at 2.30 p. m. oourt notes. In attendance upon court we noticed Judge J. H. Laing of Dawson, (and after shaking hands was doubly glad tohavejinet him) Col. Holmes Powell of Blakely, Col. VV, D. Sheffield of Arlington, and Hon. J. Boynton ot Diekey. Jim S, Collins, one of Arlington’s pros- P erous business mejj, escorted the Judge. tvv0 alKi from comt ' Dr ‘ Te 5 ry ’ B,other Cunningham and clever Tom Jordan all seemed to bo very much interested in tho days proceedings, Mr. and Mrs. K. R. Layton attended to legal business at the court house Mon- day. In the absence of hie father, Mr. Selma Davis makes a very fine looking and atten- tive sheriff. Not only pilea o{ tbe very worst kuid can be cured by DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve, but eczema, scalds, burns, bruises, boi!s ’ nl eers, and all other skin troubles P, E.

Mr. Henry Fouche and his estiraa- ble wife, from Beuna Vista, visited relatives here this week, Miss Cullie Stewart spent last week with relatives in Randolph. Mr. and Mrs. R. E. McDaniel spent Sunday 'Gth their parents at Dittihiil. Quite a number of Folksites at- tended court at Morgan Monday. We had quite a batch ot news last week, but owing to tho rain failed to It off in time. I ( On Wednesday, 11th inst-, at 4.30 p- m., at tho residence of the bride’s ! unc,0 > Mr - J - Fouche, Miss Mattie Rice and Mr. “Bunk” Hawke were happily married, Rev, J. F. Iladdon officiating. The attendents were, Carev Hawke with Miss Sallio Had- A M , L Rice with Miss Willie Ed ' Johnson. We hope that thornless flowers may adorn the pathway of | this happy young couple, and as they ! journey on through life may they | only the glare see enough of the shadows to temper suu.

Recently a miuis- ^ el ' returned to tho Ordinary of this county the license of a couple he joined together. Judge Monroe recorded tbe document and promptly sent them to the happy couple, and in less than forty- eight hours the father of the groom and several friends called our Ordinary and demanded the law governing such action.

Sick headache can bo quickly and com- pletely overcome by using those famous little pills known as ‘ DeWitt’s Little Early P. Risers." S. T. Clayton, Morgan; E. Boyd, Leary; Henry Turner, Edison. Judge J. J. Beck went down to Blakely yesterday on business connected with the McMurria caso . lt lg now believed by their friends and counsel that a. I. Me- Murrla & Son will soon settle their finan¬ cial troubles and resume business. Some for ten, some for twenty and some for thirty years have suffered from piles ond then have been quickly and perma¬ nently Hazel cured by using DeWitt’s Witch Salve, tho great remedy for piles and all forms of skin diseases. 8.
