The Monitor extends to
the bereaved relatives and friends its
heartfelt sympathy.
The MONITOR has one friend in
Morgan in tho person of a little girl
of our town. 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.

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.

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. I am, Your friend,
Matiik Johnson.

We received letters for tho - Childrens
Department from Misses Ettio Paul,

gret that it was impossible to get them
in this week’s paper. Our readers can
look for them in next week’s paper.
They ate very interesting.
Don’t Liko Slitttg,
There is a certain youth in Morgan
who thinks girls should stop using slang.
To a Monitoii scribe last Sunday be
expressed himself on the matter as fol¬

“Just so. I’ll just bo dog if I don’t

pizen. It just everlastiuTy gets away
with mo; darned if it don’t. About every
other girl you meet is up to that racket,
and tliey’li sing out. ‘Hello!’ and ‘What,
are you givin’ us?' just as any kid. Thun
they arc so dog gouod reckless. Don’t

enough for mo, by George!”
