Thought is one of the counterparts ,f our nature, given to us by a divine r. And what a gift! Instead g continually solicited by the o and irritation of the mind can retain within d expatiate in the cold and walks of contemplation, our heart aches and your re weary of traveling the path of life, then you can sit ad, closing your eyes, send pi rit back to the days of early ood. Who can measure the ce or determine the effects of anted thought? What is its ijt Whero is its termination? can tell its evils or recount its ni. The printed thought will dh'; the appeals of the orator a temporary impression behind mto forgetfulness, but the ltiment returns again to nfluenc upon the human J.

Truth is the our essence of principle, integrity and independence, and every man needs Honesty rises above fortune and above kings. Honesty is great¬ ness itself; dishonesty never made man great and never will. The people of this vicinity has or¬ ganized a sing at New Light church. They meet every Sunday afternoon, Everybody is invited to take part So lets all turn out and make the sing a success, for nothing is more elevating and beautify ing to a church than good singing, •School is on the increase. 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. A man who is always talking about his broad views, is usually narrower than anybody else. Dear Monitor:— Will you admit another little boy in your bappy band of children writers? j am a little boy eight j>ears old. I am going to school. I like to go very much, I study reading, writing, spelling aud primary numbers, all of which I am very fond of. Our teacher, Prof. McLendon, is a very nico young man. As this is my first letter I will close with best wishes to the Monitor and its readers. I am, Your friend, Pearl Paul, Local Laconics. Get in the push and subscribe the Monitor. * Morgan has been flooded with drummers this week. See the administrator’s sale of J. E. Bridges, in another column. See the wanted advertisement Mr. T. S. Ilart in this week’s paper. Valdosta now has a daily papar, the Daily Gazette, edited by T. .Pruett. _______ A tnan who is always how good his wife is to him, seldom good to her. About the strangest thing we seen this week was Stewart ledge in a fast walk. Nothing makes us feel quite foolish as to volunteer information and then find it is not wanted. If we follow all the advice givon us, we would'either land in jail or the insane asylum in two weeks. We wonder why a hammer ing a nail on Sunday always |" ueh louder than on week days. We understand that Dr. Islor, Meigs, Ga., is soon to locate in gan. lie has a hearty welcome our midst. Our devil says that if you ahead of this scribe you have got get a “clog trot” on you before light, That’s no joke. When ordering your changed always give your former well as your new postoffi.ee. scribers failing to do this causes no little trouble. Beasley, an old hg, is now editor a upl'iei or ot the Boston, ia ,) J nal. May your jeans always filled with plenty of “rocks.” Read over our Children’s Depart¬ ment, there is lots of good in them. Tho big folks are not tho only ones who can write. Tho little folks are some pumpkins themselves. Wo acknowledge receipt of an invitation from Mr. and Mrs. Jno. Ward, of Edison, to bo present at tho celebration of their wo@d wedding, which event will occur next Fridav evening at 0 o’clock, ' Feb, 4th. We now hustle out on Thursday afternoon all the mail going west. Hence Leary, Millford, Boggards’ Mill, Mimsville, Williamsburg, Ar¬ lington, Jeff, Edison, Blakely, Hil¬ ton Station, Pondtown, Damascus and Columbia all get their Monitor one day earlier than heretofore. The Camilla Clarion has been pur¬ chased by a stock company, com¬ posed of the business men of Ca¬ milla, and it will now be edited by John T. Hearn, editor of the South Georgia Home, at Moigg3, who will edit both papers. We wish the Clarion much success under its new managements. A country printing office in Ken¬ tucky opens the day’s work with prayer, which leads a South Georgi; l brotheren to loudly commend this rare exception to the rule, as from timo immetnoril it has been tho custom of country newspaper offices to be opened by the “devil” and closed by the sheriff.” “A man in Birmingham has got¬ ten himself into trouble by marrys mg two wives,” says an exchange. “That’s nothing remarkable,” says an old widower. “So many men get themselves into trouble by marrying ono, that when a man marries two, it would bo most remarkable if ho didn’t get into trouble,” The Candidate will soon bo among us, squeezing the men’s hands, j kissing the babies, and hugging the ! women—but, hold on! L don’t | to give the candidates away to I wives, and will say that all 1. candi- i dates don’t bug the women, 1 i a!l good wo " 1 ” 11 can,lot candidates ho Uuggfed.

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 am your friend Minnie haul The CrosontOil Company, of Min¬ neapolis, wants a bright young man. 1 Soo their ud. Dear Monitor: — Seeing bo many nice letters from dif¬ ferent little girls, and not seeing any from the boys, I’ve concluded to write a little letter to lead tlio boys off. I am a little boy, ten years of sgo, go to school to Prof. McLendon. I enjoy going to school very ranch. W© have a very uico school, and are trying to do a great work. Boys, don’t keep too quiet, for the girls are beating ns.

He is a good teacher, and is good ami kind to every one of us, I have a nice time at school playing “Old Hundred.” Prof. McLendon opens his school every morning with prayer. One of my little school mates. Pearl Paul, spent tho night with me last night. Ho and I had a nice time setting traps, and wo wont rabbit hunting yesterday evening after wo came from school and caught one. My lit tle sister and I have a great timo every afternoon hunting rabbits with my dog. I have one married sister living in Hilton. I spent Christmas with her and had a nice time. I wish I could go again. I wilt close for fear this will reach the waste basket, with best wishes to the Monitor. Dannie Dkinkwateu, Dear Monitor:— If you will allow mo space in your valuable paper! will write a short letter. 1. am going to school at Now Light to Prof. McLendon, he is a good teacher. 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, Emma Hawke. Dear Monitor.
