Don’t “chew the rag” with your girl;
chew Iloney Cream candy.
Owing to the illness of Judge J. J.
Ragan and the death of Mr. Henry Tur¬
ner’s brother, there was no regular meet¬
ing of the Board of County Commission¬
ers last Tuesday,
Miss Claudia Sanderiin, our popular
music teacher, was badly disappointed
in not securing the upper hall of the
Academy for her mns'c room. How¬
ever, she has secured the large front
parlor of Mrs. R. M. Smith’s residence,
near the post office, which is just as
convenient. Her piano was moved in
Tuesday, and she will have the use of
Mrs. Smith's organ for those who wish
to practice on an organ. In fact, it will
be a tipical music room when Miss
Claudia “gets things going.”
A good citizen is at rest. The writer
is deeply grieved to be forced to write
about the death of any one, and at snch
times honestly feels os if it would bo
better to give up his life to save that of
a good, true man or woman, if snch a
thing was possible and the will of God.
We feel at times as if we were of but
little consequence in this world and
would do mankind a favor by getting
out of it, or giving our unw orthy life
for that of a good one. One week ago
last Tuesday Mr. W. U. Turner came
into our office and handed the writer a
dollar for the Monitob for one year,
and spoke words of encouragement for
tho paper. Last Tuesday morning this
good, true, honest gentlemen lay a
corpse at his home, surrounded by his
wife, family and friends. Mr. Turner
was a man whom anyone would have
been proud of his acquaintance, and in
his death the county loses one of her
best citizens. As to his family connect
tions the community is well acquainted.
So it is useless for the Monitob to eulo¬
gize upon his merits, but suffice it to
say that William Turner is dead, and
the entire county mourns with his im¬
mediate family. His remains were in¬
terred at Salem church, this county,
Wednesday at noon.
Honey Cream is the best candy made;
yes it is. It chews, too; it do.
Mr. Truman Tinsley recommends the
following receipt to his friends. He
siiys they can rely upon both its efficacy
and deliciousness:
“People will kiss. Yet not one in a
hundred knows how to extract bliss
from lovely lips, any more than they
know how to make diamonds from char¬
coal. And yet it is easy, at least for
some. First, know whom you are going
to kiss. Don’t make a mistake, although
a mistake may bo good. Don’t jump
like a trout for a fly, and smack a
woman on the neck, or the ear, or the
corner of her forehead, or the end of her
nose. The gentleman should be a little
the taller. Ho should have a good face,
a kind eye, and amoulk full of expres¬
sion. Don’t kiss everybody. Don’t sit
down to it. Stand up. Need not be
anxious about getting in a crowd. Two
persons are plenty to corner and catch a
kiss; more persons would spoil the sport.
Take the left hand of the lady in your
right; let your hat go to—any place out
of the way; throw tho left hand gently
over the shoulder of the lady, and let it
fall down the right side. Do not be in
a hurry; draw her gently, lovingly to
your heart. Her head will fall gently on
your shoulder and a handsome shoulder-
strap it makes. Do not be in a hurry.
Her left hand is in yonr right; let there
be an impression to that, not like the
gripe of a vise, but a gentle clasp, full
of electricity, thought, and respect. Do
not be in a hurry. Her head lies care¬
lessly on your shoulder. You are heart
to heart. Look down into her half-
closed eyes. Gently, but manfully,
press her to your bosom. Stand firm
Be brave, but don’t bo in a hurry, Her
lips arc almost open. Lean slightly for-
ward with your head, not the body,
Take good aim; the lips meet; the eyes
close, the heart opens; the soul rides the
storms, troubles, and sorrows of life
(don’t be in a hurry;) heaven opens bo-
fore you: the world shoots under your
feet as a meteor flashes across the even-
ing sky (don’t be afraid,) tho heart for-
gets its bitterness, and the art of kissing
is learnt! • No tuss, no noise, no flutter
and squirming like hook-impaled worms,
Kissing don’t hurt, nor does it require
an act of Congress to make it legal.”
Boys, all girls like candy. If you
don’t believe it, ask them. You could
act please them better than to get a
pound of Thomas’ Honey Cream caudy

Willis Returns.
Our readers are familliar with the
circumstances we published last
week about the sudden departure of
one James L. Willis, and that he
left owing numerous debts he had
contracted during his residence here,
and also about a warrant being
sworn out for him for cheating and
swindling We by Marshal Richardson.
will not go into details to state
the matter over again, as we presume
the But public is familliar with the case.
we are glad that it is our duty
to proclaim the young man’s inno¬
cence in this week’s issue.
Willis went to his home in Barncs-
ville and there was placed under ar¬
rest on tho warrant sworn out by
Richardson, but he at once gave
bond and was released. On last
Monday Marshal Richardson went
up to Barnesville after Willis and
brought him back and had tho trial
before Comity Judge Keel in which
he came clear. Willis was tried ou
a new warrant for misdemeanor as
it was found that ho had committed
no such crime as cheating and swind¬
ling, He and came clear as above stated.
has now settled all of his unpaid
accounts, which was plain that his
intentions were honest.
We are glad it is our duty to make
tins correction, which we cheerfully
do, for it is not our policy to put iti a
“kick” when one is on the down
grade.___
Honey Cream candy is made out of
pure granulated sugar, honey and sweet
milk. No adulterations in it at all.
One day last.week our town marshal,
E. P. Richardson, was met on the square
by a Negro who said: “Mr. Rich,, if you
will give mo a dime I will tell you where
you can kill a fox squirrel—I. just now
treed him.” Our marshal said all o. k ,
got his gun and piloted by the darkey,
started out toward Dickey. The tree
upon a limb of which a man was budged
by a lynching bco last fall, was soon
reached and the old man pointed out
the squirrel. The marshal fired, luit
missed, and in a serious manner turned
to the darkey ’ and
said: “That ain’t
no squirrel, its a hant.” The old negro
at once had business somewhere olse.
The marshal fired again; got tho anim 1
and saved his ten cents. Borne people
know how to work the combination.
Mrs. A. J. Dixon, of Leary, attended
divine services at our Methodist church,
Sunday.
