When a tree leaves where does it go?
When a man is prosperous his friends
see him afar off; but when he gets short
his friends get short-sighted.
The woman who can look at a hole in

“An off-year in politics is now of little
use; (here are always some to stir the
devil if we will play the goose,”
It lias been suggested that the autumn

standing around with bare limbs.
Our editor says the word “flee,”—a
flee dog—is not in the dictionary, Will
some kind brother inform me as to the
origin of the word.
While strolling along a public higli-
way last Sunday I came to a big gate at
the end of a short lane. On the gate
post was nailed: “No tresspassing on
these premises. ” Looking over the
fence 1 saw a large persimmon tree
ladened with luscious fruit. But, alas!
a poor country editor is not allowed
even the privileges of the forest to satis¬
fy his hunger.
We are under obligations to Editor
Green, of the Morgan Monitor for a
copy of hia paper. Bro. Green gets out
a clean, newsy sheet and has a corps of
vigilant and wide awake correspondents
which is evidence that the Monitor has
a wide circulation.—Benevolence cor-
respondent Liberal-Enterprise.
Thanks, Brother, me and the editor,
with the inteligent assistance of our
correspondents, are doing the best we
can.
Just three weeks from to day the
Bethel Association convenes with Reho-
heth church, about one and a half miles
from Shellmau. This is one of the first
churches we ever heard of and strange
to say, that although we have resided
within the bounds of the church, yot we
have never made her a i isit, and as we
are one of the representatives from Be¬
nevolence, we think we will attend the
session of the Association if not hin¬
dered.—Benevolence correspondent Lib¬
eral-Enterprise, Oct. 8. Go by all
means, which yon should have done
long ago.
Once more the wages of sin has been
paid with death. A wayward career has
found the logical end, and there is
“One more unfortunate,
Rashly Weary of breath,
Gone importunate,
to her death.”
If the error would profit by experi . no.-
the lesson afforded hero would regenev-
ate the world and every Magdalen fall
at the feet of the Savior. Hie flower of
womanhood would never wither again
under the feverish breath of sin; but
human perversity is strong, We can
only hope that the force of example,
the inevitable end of wrong-doing, may
not ba entirely in vain.—Angnsta Her¬
ald.
Small precautions ofton prevont great
mischiefs. DeWitt’s Little Early Risers
are very small pills In size, but are most
effectivo In preventing the most serious
forms of liver and lung troubles. They
cure constipation and headache and regu¬
late the bowels. Mrs. S. T. Clayton, Mor¬
gan; P. E, Boyd, Leary; Henry Turner,
Edison.
Joe Madison, a worthy, hard-working
Negro mau, a cropper of Mr. Frank
Cheney, went coon hunting about 2
o’clock Wednesday morning. He was
accompanied by his two little boys, and
the dogs soon “treed” a coon in the
swamp just back of tho Sibley place and
about a mile from Joe’s home, Joe
soon felled the tree, and during the ex¬
citement the father missed one of his
boys—John—a lad of twelve years. He
called to him several times, and then
began to search for him. The old
father fonud his boy ernshed to death
under tho trunk of the tree. What a
sad ending of a smart hoy. The parents
has the syampathy of the Monitor in
their deep grief.
The Monitor was missinioraed last
week as to tho death of Mr. Earnest
Peavy, of Randolph county, and this
paper, together with hri many friends,
arc thankful to God that ho is yet alive,
or was last W ednesday night. His con-
dition is very critical indeed, and it is
very doubtful that ho can survive many
days longer, and his relatives and friends
cau only trust on the will of his Maker.
Mr. David Goff died at 1 o’clock Sat¬
urday afternoon at his home oa the Ri¬
ley place a few miles above Morgan.
From what could be learned Dr. Goff
died from an attack of billious colic.
Ho was a good physician and an upright
citizen and will be greatly missed' by
the community in which he resided.
Prof. O. F. McLendon paid our office
a call Tuesday and informed the Moni¬
tor that the New High School will be
opened next Monday, Oct. 18th. Pat¬
rons should take notice and send in their
children the first day.
WANTED—500 Arbucklo coffee sig¬
natures by Cooper Dozier.
Colonel and J. L. Boynton, of Dickey
were in Morgan Wednesday. Mrs,
Boynton came to our town to do some
shopping, and no doubt is justly proud
of her beautiful span of blacks.
I believe that if our editor’s many
friends knew how sadly in need of money
our editor is, and how hungry he is,
they would come to his rescue. But he
just won’t dun people.
