Tho bicycle school across the way Is flourishing. Can’t you say or do something for the ai tesian well? Thouglien up your backs, boys, unless you mean to study. Mr. R. W. Jones of Dawson visited friends in Morgan this week. Mr. J. M. Willis and wife went down to Blakely Wednesday. September is here, and so is the Moni¬ tor, a dull summer notwithstanding. Mrs. D. B. Jay, of Fitzgerald, is visit¬ ing her brother and sister, Mr. and Mrs. S. T. Clayton. In her abscenea, Mrs. G. W. Colley left her millinery business in the oomp e- tent hands of Mis* Nettie Dozier. Miss Claudia Banderlin informs the Mon. itor that her music school will open hero Monday, September 13th. Air. and Mrs. Geo. A. Dozier loft Mon- d ay for C'ordele; which place they will make their home for some time. S. T. Clayton has just put in a pair of the celebrated Robidaux Cotton Seales, which are endorsed by all cotton buyers. A new store will throw open its doors in a little town “off the railroad” in a few days. Watch Clay—, no Morgan. The Dozier residence is completed, and is now undergoing the painting pro¬ cess under the supervision of onr up-to- date painters. Professor Short is justly proud of tho new school house. He lias around it like “Grant lay around Riokmond” and watches its construction. Why is W. O. B. so terribly afflicted with the blues. Has. R. W. J. got the inside track on him? It seems that he has, all rumors notwithstanding. Professor Short can run a straight line as well as he can wield a straight swith. Surveying will soon be through with and school will open. Sick headache can be quickly and com¬ pletely overcome by using those famous little pills known as "DeWitt’s Little Early Risors.” S. T. Clayton, Morgan; P. E. Boyd, Loary; Henry Turner, Edison. If your friend or visitor’s name does not not appear in these columns don’t give us the cold shoulder, for the editor has troubles enough of his own. Send the parper the names of your visitors. Mrs. Cora Colley boarded the train at Leary Tuesday morning for Nashville. After visiting the‘exposition, she will go on to Louisville, where she will buy her stock of fall and winter milinery goods. “They aro 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. Mr. S. T. Clayton informs us that he will leave in a few days for the marts of trade in the interest of his customers. He says he will “startle the natives” this fall by selling them goods for the cash cheaper than New York prices with the freight pai d. We are under many obligations to Mr, R. W. Jones, of Dawson, for assisting ns .this week. Ho does not follow print¬ ing as a trade, but is a quick, snappy hand at the case, nevertheless. Rufus is a remarkably bright young man, and his assistance, coming at such an oppor¬ tune time, was doubly appreciated. The writer spent three years in Wash¬ ington City, Baltimore, and other large cities, and bought about sixteen tons of dry goods, dross goods, groceries, etc., more or less, and we know that we paid •Jie.samo prices there as we do in Mor¬ gan. Come to liqrgan and got the worth of your hard esmed cash. Even our lawyers, soma of the best in the State, will divide profits with you, SQTJIBLETS- Composed, Compiled, Set up ami Other¬ wise Arranged by Fitsduodle. “There is no rose without a thorn, No joy without a sorrow: The pants that creases now adorn Will be baggy-kneed tomorrow.” Any man can dress like George Wash¬ ington, but very few not. like him. An exchange says the wife who is not a mother is like a flower without per* furuo. The various countries of the world now use 18,400 different kinds of postage stamps. In South Africa they have wood that will not burn. What we need in Morgan is ice that will not melt. The summer girl may bo described ss a rosy peach ou the ocean beach, beside an ocean swell. Adam—Hurry up, can’t you? We’ve got to get out of the garden before sun¬ down. Eve—Yes, Adam, dear! Are my leaves on straight? Mrs. Fitzdoodle says the person is right who said “women s are indeed weak creatures, for sometimes one even falls in love with a cigarette smoaker. ” The Gainesville sun offers two cents apiece for rats, delivered at its office. This Melican man talkee muchee like Chineman. “Dear ant jane,” wrote little Benny Jimpkins to Ids father’s sister, “it thot I wood rite and tell yo that ma has got a baby, liopin these few lines will fin you the same, ynre nefyoti bennie.” A boys composition on parents. “Pa¬ rents are things whioli boys have to look after them. Most girls have parents. Parents consist of pas and mas. Pas talk a good deal about what they are going to do, but mostly it’s mas that make you mind. A little fellow, who had his wits him when the contribution plate was passed at church, administered‘a rebuke to his mother, who on the way home was finding fault with the sermon. mother,” he said innocently, “what could you expect for a cent?” The late Henry Grady had the utmost contempt for oroakers. Grady ua to say that the frog, the greatest croaker on earth, was also the biggest fool on earth; that he would sit on the side of a pond croaking until a rain came up and then jamp into the water to keep from getting wet. Let us hope mat there is no in Morgan who could be compared to a frog, but let’s all pull for the tesian well. I heard a gentleman say the other day that his wife would go through a keyhole, if such a thing was possible, in order to secure a copy of the Monitor each week. Now, said gentleman is a prosperous farmer-will sell at least seventy-five bales of cotton this season-and yet his name is not on our subscription books. Shades of Bon Franklin! am t this en- couragement with a vim for a fellow to work hard to give the people of the town and county a good paper. And there are others. Onr editor says that the good lady ought to sue that man for a divorce, and $5,000 alimony. Last Saturday the “chief cook and bottle-washer” of this sheet “hiked” himself off to Arlington, that he might get acquainted with her clever people and see how the “land lay” since our last visit, and since so many important changes were made in the way of build¬ ing and moving. We found Nison & Oo. in new quarters, and hustling aa usual: Bostick & Toole in their hand¬ some double brick store; W. D. Oowdry one of the straightest merchants on'earth at his same old stand; Y, W. Fudge still holding the fort; Ed Thigpen be¬ hind the counters of one of the finest sa¬ loons of the State; the Courier man out; the Arlington Oil & Fertilizer Go’s, gins running at full speed and the little city on a general boom. S. G, Collins doing a good business; J. 8. Cotiins gave us a warm hand shake. I. Stine & Bro. is a new firm -a Jew firm—and will bring good luck to the town. J. F. Mc¬ Cullough’s gracery store is the place to get a cool drink of soda, something good to eat, or—just step behind the curtain and get the best shave you ever had in your life. J, S. Cowart & Bro. are among the leading merchants of the town and will treat you right. Vaughn, the artist is there yet making pictures. This clever gentloman got a perfect negative of the recent eclipse of the sun, and the picture is a wonder in the photographers’ line. The Horsley house is as popular as ever, Arlington is a good town, full of clever people. Success to you all. Don’t neglect a cough because the weather is pleasant; before develop the next storm rolls around it may into a seri¬ ous difficulty beyond repair. One Min¬ ute Cough Cure is easy to take and will do what its name implies. Mrs.H.T. Clay- ton, Morgan; P. E. Boyd, Leary; Henry Turner, Edison. From Our Neighbor, Leary. Mr. It. A. Melone of Albany was In our burg this week. Mias Amorette Burge returned home Monday, after spending a few weeks In Leary, the guest of Mrs. Cunningham. Col. C. L. Sibley came down en route to Morgan, whore he will rest for some time. Mr. T. It. Hammond spent last Sunday in Milford. Chills and fever have let our good peo¬ ple rest this week.

Bob Minis was in town this week. Mr. B. H- Askew, Milford’s leading morchant, was in our burg Monday. Cotton is hi full force. Our merchants expect a good trade for the next thirty or 6ixly days. Our town has one new business house, which was opened up recently, and we learn that there will be another soon. There Is always room for one more, and a better place for business can’t be found. Mrs. N. B. Johnson is at homo again, after spending several weeks with her hus¬ band in Macon. We all welcome her ro- turn, but regret to learn that she has been very ill in Macon. Mr. John Thomas Rosses of Amerlcus is visiting Mr. T.W.Hammondjand family. I learn that the young man will make his future home here. Miss Annie Catervilie, after spending some time with friends near Arlington, returned home this week. There has been some ’possom hunting already, notwithstanding the poor crop of sugar cane. [Must correct you, brother; it’s ’possom and potatoes, not cano.] Mr. P. I. McDaniel with Miss Sarah Hammond, Mr. B. H. Islor with Miss Pearl Grigsby, paid Morgan.friends a visit last Sunday.
