September failures have thus far been
extremely light. The liabilities of fail-
ing manufacturers, according to Dun’s
Review, during the first two weeks of
September, amounted to only $904,178,
against $4,246,14.8 in the corresponding
weeks of last year.
Some men make their hearts refriger¬
ators, as it were; and no warmth of love
around them takes away the inward
chill, and that chill, little by little, takes
all the warmth out of their own love.
Oh, if these soul-refrigerators might
only and always be seen and shunned,
before we form alliance with them!
This whole pitiful business of trying to
make things that are unequal in nature
and commerce equal by law, and of
giving encouragement to politicians to
rant about it, when the known result is
to delude large numbers of people, put
the currency in peril and paralyze busi¬
ness, should receive no countenance
from persons of intelligence and respon¬
sibility.—Exchange.
A certain young lady of Morgan told
me that she knew a certain young man,
not a 1,000 miles from Morgan, who,
when retiring at night, would place
matches and lamp on a table near the
bed, place his heavy walking cane and a
double-barrel shot gun on the other side
and put his revolver under his pillow.
Nothing was said about how tight tbe
windows and door were fastened.
Experience Account Is again turned to
and another entry made by several of
Morgan’s merchants and a few private
citizens were also “touched” by a “slick
duck” who has just made his departure
“by the light of the moon.” It will bo
remembered by nearly all of Morgan peo¬
ple that J. L. Willis, the painter, who
came here several weeks ago and formed
a copartnership with Mr. N. L. Mathis,
and advertised and boomed his busi¬
ness, and has been doing odd jobs ever
since he came. He secured board with
Miss Sallie Riley, and, when ho left, he
owed for two month’s board. Willis
seemed to be a “slick artist” all round
as he bought a bicycle from Marshal
Richardson and gave a mortgage on it as
security, and before his departure he sold
the wheel and now there is a warrant
against him for cheating ancl swindling.
When last seen he was headed toward
Dawson.
County Court.
Our county court met Monday morn¬
ing, Judge Keel presiding for the first
time, but from the quick way in which
the business was transacted you would
have thought he was a veteran.
The case of the State vs. Ed Andrews
charged with a fondness for a pistol was
found not guilty.
Case of Edmond Brown, assault and
battery, was settled by the court. He
had whipped one of his children most
too hard.
Goodson and his sister charged with
an assault and battery on J. M. Gore
was found guilty and given $5 and costs
or six months on the chain gang, the
former being paid by Mr. C. J. Davis.
Aster the business of the court was
over Judge Keel commenced to inves i
gate as to costs collected and how much
should be charged in each case, saying
that he had not beard a case tried in full
for ten years and he wanted to lamilliar-
izo himself with the cost question, a
source of much trouble and a great deal
of talk. We hope that Judge Keel will
hold out as he began and you will hear
no more trouble about the courts.
Take Notice.

Mrs, J. F. Jones, at Milford, Ga., ask-
