The smokehouse of Mr. G. M. Davis was robbed Tuesday night of six hams, a jar of lard and a side of meat. Certainly you don’t want to suffer with dyspepsia, constipation, sick headache, sallow skin and loss of appetite. You have never tried DeWitt’s Little Early Risers for these complaints or you would have been cured. They aro small pills but great regulators. Mrs. S. T. Clayton, Morgan, P. E. Boyd, Leary; Henry Tur- uer, Edison. The editor lost a bundle of cloth Tuesday night. The finder should give it to him, for he has not a rag to spare. Little Miss Willa, daughter of Mr. 1. A.

Mr, Weaver hit some of the hard eases of Morgan a pretty good rap in his Sunday morning s sermon. Mr. Bob, Colson was compelled to bang out some of his best clothing for an airing Tuesday .morning. On the road from Williamsburg to Morgan Monday night he ran up with some per fume of the pole cat variety, hence the airing. It is all a mistake about our editor being dead from tiic effects of a “cracked skulL”—he was too hard headed. It is dangerous for a piece of hard wood to come violently in contact with said head for fear of injuring tire wood and wielder. Small precautions often prevent great mischiefs. DeWitt’s Little Early Risers are very small pills in si ;e, but are most effective 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; 1 leery Turner, Edison. 1 Went to Leary. Last Saturday morning the writer was asked by Mr. Tom Plowden, our clever county treasurer, to take a seat in his buggy for a visit to Leary. On our way we talked stock law, county politics and a heaps of things too numerous to meutiou. At Leary Mr. Plowden dropped, me and I sailed in to see my friends and hustle for Calhoun’s paper. I called on Dr. Terry and learned that on last Friday Charlie Anthony, a colored youth, accidently shot a little Negro girl through the shoulder. The wound was dressed by Dr. Terry, and is not considered dangerous. Said accident happened on Boyd’s Holt place. I went in to see Captain Boyd. You know he is always busy, but never fails to spare a moment to his guests, lie told me that he had just lost one of his fine matched gray horses, but ho took consolation in the fact that the Morgan district had cauied the stock law by a safe ma¬ jority. After buying two pair of shoes on credit from one of the Cap¬ tain’s clever and wide awake clerks, I hunted up Dr. Griffin and began negotiations for * linnet'. Doe knew I was “strapped’ and made me feel good by saying “.lie Griffin house always finds it a pleasure in giving a newspaper mau a square meal, .es¬ pecially our county editor.” So at I lie proper hour, in company with Dr. Griffin, I was soon seated at the table. After partaking of all the breads, meats and delicacies of the season that within my power lay, I was shorn around the premises. The Griffin House is o .e of the most popular hosieries in South Georgia, and upon the pages of its register can be read the names of people from ail quarters of the globe. Mr. Dolph Hammond had just re- turned'from Macon and could not talk advertising for telling me about the carnival. Clever Sid Keel wanted to pay me for an advertised letter list, but I ins formed him that our editor never took money from a postmaster. l T ou alTknow that Tom Jordan had to mix me up one of his favorite bev¬ erages, for he said I could not “navi¬ gate” without it. Mr. A. J. Dixon and his clover clerks were hustling for the niekles and dimes, while Mrs. Dixon was her millinery business. The Leary people like the Moni¬ tor and love our editor, but they just won’t advertise. Fit/,doodle. Yellow Fever Prevented. There is only one sure way of provont- ing yellow fever Destroy the germs of the disease by using Casearets, Candy Cathartic, and keep the system clean by continuing their use. The tried and test¬ ed safeguard against yellow fever is to place your faith in Casearels. lOe, 25c, •50c, ail druggists. Council Meets. From Mayor L. G. Oartlege we learn that at a council meeting hold last Friday preparations were made for the bill or¬ ganizing a dispensary in Morgan, and Col. J. J. Bock, G. W. Colly and T. W. Tinsley to be named as tho hoard of commissioners to organize and start the enterprise, they to select and employ a clerk, and to be empowered to elect their own successor. This is a movement that the Monitor, together with almost the unanimous voice of our citizens, wish to sec carried through—a well regulated town dispen¬ sary put into operation as soon as pos¬ sible. Orders were passed to payJ.A. Thornton $250 on the school house con- tract.the new house having been accepted by the building committee, and to pay for the painting of the house, a sum of thirty dollars. Our conucilmcn arc working harmoui- onsly for the improvement of the the town, this years work Indy demonstrat- ing the fact.
