How plainly- we see changes
written on all earthly things. We
r< &d it in the fading flower,-the
falling leaves, beautiful faces, and in
the changing sky. We hear it in
the sighing breeze, and in the mur¬
muring waves. Nature proclaims it
in every page of her unfoldings and
it is written upon every heart. The
eye naturallv wearies of monotony,
the mind tires of sameness and the
imagination is ever calling for some**
thing new, It matters not how
beautiful the scenery may be upon
which the eye is feasting or how
entrancing the sounds that fall upon
the ear, after a time, the one grows
weary of beauty, the oth«r of mel¬
ody, and hails with pleasure a change.
Yet there are some things we
wish to remain the same. The
friendship we form along life’s jour¬
ney we would have true and lasting
an^l the love which comes into our
hearts aud encircles them with a
brightness which outside surroun-
dings can never dim—this wo wish
unchangeable.

Dear Monitor: —
Will you please allow me a short
space in your most valuable paper to
write to my Morgan friends, as 1
once lived there and set my first
type' in the Monitor office? I have
many dear fronds in Morgan whom
I love and to whom I promised to
write, but have never dono so.
They will have to excuse me, not
from negligence or forgetfulness of
them, but because I do not have
much time to write letters.
We receivo the MONITOR every
week, and it is a welcome visitor,
one that is appreciated very much.
When your paper arrives, I do
know whero to commence reading,
as it contains so much interesting
news.
1 was eleven years old on tho 10th
of September, 1897, I left Morgan
on the first day of October, 1S9G,
and hope some day to go back to
my old home, and see jour new
school house. But am prouder
tile fact that you still retain
same teachers who were in charge
your training camp when I
school there. Y ou are to be
gratulated upon having two
good teachers. There is Prof.
who knows just how to preside
a school room and win the love
respect of his pupils. In
there’s nothing Short about him
Hiis name, and with the .ddition
11 two letters it could be inritli-rihort-tt’t
Then there is Mrs i toZu r—
j'how .1 five her -who’is gifted in the
art of teaching and trainin
,
minds, and who seems to have a
motherly love for all her pupils.
No wonder the children love her.
Wo have a very lino school here,
with something over 200 pupils,
My little sister, Gertrude, is going,
but I am not. I work in the Thom¬
aston Times office, and can set two
galleys of type in a day. I do nearly
all the work on the paper, as it takes
papa nearly all of his time to do job
work and change advertisements.
1 go to Sunday school at the
Baptist church. Our Sabbath school
has a recitation from the Bible every
Sunday, and tho class making the
best recitation is awarded a banner,
My class had it last Sunday, and has
it for next Sunday,
I would be exceedingly glad to
have some of my Morgan friends to
visit me. Fearing I have already
taken to much space, I will close
with much love and best wishes to
all. Emma Rogers.
Dear Monitor:—
I am a little girl who would like to
join your band of nice writers. I go to
school at New Light. I like to go very
much. I study geography, reading,
spelling and arithmetic. I enjoy going
to Sunday school, too. We have no
Sunday school now, it being so cold
forced us to cutl it in. I will close with
best wishes for tho Monitor. I am,
Your friend,
Susie Rea Bbazelle.
Dear Monitor,
Seeing so many nice letters from our
school ia your last issue, I’ve concluded
I would write. I will tell you how wo
spend onr recess at school, we play
different games, such as Old Hundred,
poison and sugar lump, of which we
derive much genuine pleasure from. I
love to go to school, we have a nico and
good teacher, and all of us like him. I
wonder what those young ladies had to
tell Prof. Monday? It was very interest¬
ing judging from appearance. I will
close for this time for four it will find
its way to tho waste basket.

I like to go to school very much. Papa
takes the Monitor and I enjoy reading
it, I think I will like it much better
when I see our letters in print, I live
three miles from Morgan, I like to live
in the country, for I have so many more
privileges than I would if I lived in
town.
I will close for this ^ime with best
wishes for the dear old Monitor.
Your Friend,

Dear Monitor.
As you have concluded to give us
little folks space to write, I thought I
would write a short letter to the dear
old Monito*. I am a girl twelve years
old aud am going to school to Mr. C. F.
McLendon. Istudy geography, reading,
arithmetic, writing and spoiling. I like
going to school very much. I spent
Christmas with my cousin, Berta John¬
son, I enjoyed myself very much. A
largo crowd ot young pupils went sere¬
nading the other night. They report a
very nico time, The other day papa
killed a large owl which measured from
one tip of his wing to tho other three
tout mnl i*ii inches. Papa is spending a
few days with his uncle, Jim French,
in Stewart County. I will close with
