Small precautions often prevent great
mischiefs. DoWitt’s Little Early Risers
are very small pills in size, but are most

but great regulators. Mrs. b. 1. Clayton,
Morgan, P. E. Boyd, Leary; Henry Tur¬

—Said little Willie Reese one day,
“I think it would be cute
To hide this chesnut bur uwny
In mamma’s Sunday boots.”
His mamma found it with her heels,
And little Willie Reese
Cannot sit down, but eats Ins meals
Off the mantlepiece.

advertisement of C. M. Cheney, of Shell-
man, in this week’s paper.
—Rend Mr. S. N. McGnirt's adver¬
tisement. He has made several changes
and you will profit by reading it.
—A letter from the Misses Nelson,
who left here last week for Meridian.
Miss., announces their safe arrival at
home.
—Squirrel hunting without a dog is
not as profitable now as it was one
month ago. Acorns have about all
fallen on the ground.
—Rev. Z. T. Weaver, pastor, preached
two able sermons at the Baptist church
last Sunday. The weather being per¬
fect a large congregation,was present.
—Teachers of the county, bear in
mind the meeting of the Teachers’ As¬
sociation at. the court bouse to-morrow
(Saturday.) It is hoped that all of them
will be present.
—A sweet, demure little Morgan
beauty says she thinks every girl should
cultivate one Lordly attribute—that of
loving a cheerful giver. Especially
about Christmas time.
—Dancing is said to be the "poetry
of motion.” How about the girl who
waltzes like a cow, and goes through the
square dance like a horse paw ing for a
soft spot in the floor of his stall.
—Mr. P. C. Mote captured the prize
last week when he brought to town the
largest cat-fish seen in this section in

—A party of four couples went out to

—Why can’t we have a debating so¬
ciety in Morgan? Such an organization
would be both instructive and amusing
to our young people, besides bringing
out the latent logic and eloquence which
abounds, we are sure, in the omniums of
the young men of this town. As the
poet sublimely puts it:
Full many a “Jim” is born to blush unseen
And eloquence waste upon the desertah;
Because we have no “Demosthenean”
In which he’d gladly rip and tear.
We understand such a thing was in
existence here at one time, and why
can’t we have it again. Get a move on
yourselves, young men, and let's have
some fun.
—Young people, liow about an enter¬
tainment in Morgan Christmas or near
that date? Morgan has good talent and
no doubt she could put up a creditable
appearance, A small admission fee
could be charged and the proceeds, above
expenses, could go towards paying off
the debt of our school house. That
would be a good work and we feel sure
there is not anyone in Morgan who
would refuse to take part or aid in mak¬
ing the entertainment a success. Sev¬
eral of our young men have been dis¬
cussing the matter, and if anything is to
be done, it is time they were making a
move of some kind. Christmas is far
off (less than one mouth.) Suppose
those who feel interested in the matter
are willing to aid the workers, meet
urd!y Mght at in S 8 or ,0 8 a o 0 ’clX b «nd

On last Sunday morning at 10 o’clock
at the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. S.
W. Maury, near Bethel, there occurred
a happy marriage, M r. Cephus Ragan
#nd Miss Mary Manry being the con¬
tracting parties, Rev. Mr. Benson
spoke the words that united the happy
couple together. After the marriage the
bride and groom went to church and
from there they went to the home of
Mr. Ragan’s father where a sumptuous
dinner was served. The Monitor ex¬
tends congratulations.
The Albany Pennv Press does the
neatest and best job work of any

—Married, at the home of the bride’s
parents, near Edison last Wednesday,
Mr. J. S. Eubanks, son of Mr. Columbus
Eubanks, near Edison, to Miss Lillie
Strickland. The contracting parties are
very popular throughout the country
and they have the best wishes of their
many friends.

the shield, thirteen horizontal stripes,
thirteen arrowheads and thirteen
letters in the words "quarter dollar.”
