Si McGuirt says things are getting lively around Morgan—that a poor Ne¬ gro is killed every week, and that the New Light church turns out a member every conference. The following personals are from Tuesday morning’s Albany Herald; Mr. W. C. Thomas, of Morgan, spent yesterday in Albany shaking hands friends. Judge J. J.

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 a newspaper without wondering what was cut out is yet to bo born. “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 leaves turn red because of the trees 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.
