Mr. Ed. you ought to have been there to face me. You would have had one square bate of o’possum, for he weighed 10 lbs. Edison, Ga. Feb. 1st, 1898. Dear Editor:— Brutio in his communicator! to your paper, requests some one to de¬ fine the word “acceptable.” The word is of Latin origin. It is com¬ pounded of the preposition “a” or “ad” (to) and capio (to take.) “Ac¬ ceptable” is an adjective, and means: 1st, that may be received with pleasure; hence pleasing to a receiv¬ er; gratifying; as an acceptable present. 2nd. Agreeable or pleas¬ ing in person; as a man makes him¬ self acceptable by his services or civilities. Piiilo. A Mississippi girl describes her first visit to a city in the following raphsody: “Oh, I had such perfectly beauti¬ ful time! Everything was so con¬ verted, you know. We stopped to a house where we rode to our rooms in a refrigerator, and-our rooms were illustrated with election lights. There was no stove in tho room, out one of those legistators in the floor, and the j je ;it poured right up through, I did not have any appetite and could not get a thing I could realize* Honestly, when I got home I was almost an dividual.”—Atlanta Constitution.

Isler, who has been in Meigs, Ga., for sometime past, prac¬ ticing medicine, is expected in Mor¬ gan next Monday. Dr. Isler will hang out his shingle here and make this his future homo. He has a hearty welcome among us. Mr -Vaima Davis and vo scribe Arlington Inst. Sunday. That was this scribe’s first visit to our neighboring town, and must say that he was so favorably impressed with the town and its “people” that, it is probable that another trip will be made again in tho near future. This scribe has run across a man who has passed the gosling state. He wanted 1000 circulars last week, and after getting prices from several different places came back and said that he had decided to write them off instead of having them printed. At last accounts he had been writing half a day and had written seven circulars. This editor must confess his igno- ranee on anything pertaining to matrimony. That fact was plainly evidonced in last week’s paper when it was stated that Mr. and Mrs. Jno. Ward, of Edison, would celebrate their “wood wedding” on Feb 4th. It should have been “tin wedding” as they have been married ten years. Wo haven’t been informed just yet when the “iron wedding” will coruo in.

School News. Dear Monitor. I gladly accept your kind offer to publish communications from tho pupils of the schools of Calhoun .Co. Our school opened Oct. 25, ’97, with Prof. Williams as teacher. We have 44 pupils, also one boarding student, Master Henry Forest of Clay county. All tho pupils and patrons speak well of our teacher, Our school near the Methodist church, it is furnished with nice black-boards, improved modern desks, seats, wall maps, charts etc, and a good heater. Our citizens enntemplate building a first-class Academy this summer. Wo have a noble set of boys, not one of thorn uso toiiadco in any form Our pupils are studious and indus trious, but when recess comes they are ready for play; then when the bell rings for bosks, they are ready for study. Our teacher tells us that study gives a relish for play, and play gives us a relish tor study. We aro learning very fast, and don’t propose to let our banner trail in the dust, but with flying colors to press onward and upard toward the tem¬ ple of science. With best wishes for the Monitor I am, Your friend, Clara Pierce. CoAlity Board Meeting. The county board mot in the court house last Tuesday and eon- siderable business was transacted.

Wo see that tho school column is growing every week, with newo from different children. Our pupils are learning as fast as can be expected of them. We Bliould be glad to exchange views with other schools in regard to reciting diff -rent lessons. We study our geography, and history, topically, and usually have written recitations instead of oral. did not like this method at first, but do now, better than reciting it we sec that it is doing us a great deal good. In our fifth reader, we study life of each author, in connection the selection. Wo were glad, to Emma Rogers’s letter, in your last ber; she was a schoolmate of ours. Wo were glad to add Cicero Mathis our number, Monday. With best wishes for the Monitor. Sincerly. Students. Dear Monitor; If you will allow me a space in your valuable paper I will write a short letter. I am going to school at Oak Hill to Prof. O. A. den, he is a good teacher.

Your friend, MatiKe R. Harney. I read this welcome bit of news in a society journal: “The corset is doomed, The swell women of means aro so generally taking to gymnastic exercises, fencing, tennis, and golf playing, bicycle riding, hunting and other like exercises which call for the free use of the body, that the corset has grown loss and less. This has been very ap¬ parent in the modified corsets now so popular, and the' substitu¬ tion of “waists” for corsets, The groat popularity of tho Russian blouse is favoring tho general disuse of the old-time cageiiko corset.” That’s good news, boys! Tho day may not bo far distant when the deai'darlings will have to depend upon us for all tho squeezolng they got.—Dalton Argus’ Devil. Sheriff Davis sold, at public out¬ cry last Tuesday, the place common¬ ly known as the'Bob. Hooks’ place, 3 miles north of Morgan, containing fifty-nine acies, more or less. The place was bought in by Mr. J. (J. Price for $351. This was tho only sale that took place. The Cuthbert Liberal-Enterprise, of last week failed to reach us.
