She happened to stop in to see the editor and devil, not long ago, when she accidentally our towel; yes, it actually was a towel. It was just getting in shape to be called a genuine printer’s towel, one of those kind that will “oreak” when held in the open air and given a light lick with the hand or a stick. The little girl in ques¬ tion returned tho next day with a “limber” towel and said on present¬ ing it to the editor: “Here, Mr. Editor, is a towel I got mama to send you. I will take your other oue and send it to wash.” How thoughtful; how kind. Would that, there were more such thoughtful people in this world. If such was the ca.se, there might be some chance for the country editor. THE CHILDREN'S - ■ DEPARTMENT. [At the suggestion of several eiti- nous of Morgan, the Monitor has (lo¬ eided to give two columns under heading to tho children of Calhoun coml, T> a >ul more especially to school children. All tho little ohil- dren are invited to write us a for this department every week, and they have the liberty of making it as long as they want] Dickey School News. Dear Monitor, Since you have permitted a ; in your paper, to he devoted schools of the county, we shall tempt to tell something about school. It opened Jan. 3, with Mr. R. H. Shell as teacher. We have twenty-seven and the prospect of more in the near future. We have one hoarding student, Master Clyde Davis, Hopeful. All the pupils and speak highly of our teacher. schoolL-Hise is near the church, it nicely furnished with desks, benches and a nice heater, and is surrounded by a beautiful grove. We can speak highly of our There » not one of them t! at or chews tobacco What other school can say that: Wo have stu- dious mid industrious pupils, w * 1Qn recess comes they are - ol ’ P^J’5 then when the bell rings l hey are ready for boo 1 , and about what they havo been play- in S- Oue.of the games that we are fond of is “steak g sticks.” 4 s this is o' b-st « must close L wis. .tor the ? \ Sin Overly, Stodj S'. From One of the .CoMRcfltnen. Apologies are not always rcoeived, but explanations are always in order and are received by all sensible pooplo, If a man who is a member of the church gets drunk or dances and sneak up to conference to make an apology, it should not be received, for no Christian wilt either get drunk, waltz or dance. 1 kayen’t any confidence in any man or any man’s religion, who gets drunk, dances or give dances at their houses. One is us good as she other, and no man or woman who engages in any of these works 1ms ' Christian influence aDd no they have no business in church. I wish to make no apology iu regard to myself, but X do wish to give an explanation. I am now one of the Morgan town cotincilmen. I lefjrn that there are somt who think that the reason I got on was that I was in favor of whiskey. I wish to tell those laboring under that belief that it is a mistake. I am not in favor of whiskey in any way, shape, form or fashion. Morgan now has her dispen¬ sary, but I had nothing to do with tho way whiskey was sold before and I have nothing to do with the dispensary, for X feel liko X have some Christian influ¬ ence aud I had rather have this than all the whiskey in the world. X have looked into (ho law about tho dispeusary. I find that tho town council has no power whatever over the dispensary. I told Dr. Ragan, tho mayor, before we ever met that if the town council bad the power to put tho tax so giiigh that they could not sell it, and would refuse to do if, X would not servo on the council. So 1 bog yon to never think that I am so low iu religion that I will have anything to do wilh whiskey in any way. I do not want any namo or money that whiskey can make for mo. I have no respect, no allowance, no room and no words for a drunkard. I will ask them to stay out of my house while drunk or drinking. I hope the explanation is satisfactory. I am, Yours respectfully. 8. N. MoGcxbt. The boys say John Patch's “sweat” box is “out’n sight.” PROFESSIONAL cards. J. J. BE( K, AW3M27 AITS COSntUQR A? LAW, jvtOR.Gi-A.isr, a-A.

From a Little Si i Norton Miss, .1 see you have opened your columns for us younger peoplo to write, which 1 think is very nice and kind in you and hope that it will prove 1 interesting as well as improving to young writers. I saw- some nice letters in last week’s paper from some of my 1 'friends near New Light. 1 was very glad to hear from them, and decided that I would write, hoping that my letter will not find its way to the waste basket. I am a little girl, thirteen years old, living at Silver- ton. My father takes the MoNrion. I liko to read it very much, myself. We have a country neighborhood and have a fine school, taught by Prof. Johnson as principal, and Miss Jennie Smith as assistant. Our school enrolls about seventy-five pupils. Our average attend¬ ance is about forty-five. 1 think I am learning very fast, We have four churches. So you 6ce wo can attend church every Sunday. We have Sab¬ bath school at Bethlehem almost all the time, but are not having any now, ns it has been so very cold siuco Christmas, but we intend starting again soon. There is also a literary society which meets at Mr. Joe Knighton’s every Wednesday lfight, which I think is very elevating. 1 enjoy attending the so* ciety, as we always have such a nice time. We have prayermeeting on Sat¬ urday and Sunday nights ut tho neigh¬ bor’s residence. I will close for this time with very best wishes for ll,e Monitoii and its renders.
