We iOllTP ;:vi PUBLISHED EVGKY FRIDAY. e 1 Doubt it.” ■[Written By a Cuthbert Girl to a Morgan Boy.J "When a tapering hand is ia roach of your own With a velvety softness about it; 'Do you think you Could drop if without a single squeeze? Well, maybe you could, but I doubt it. When a slender waist is hi reach of your arm, With a wonderful plumpness about it, Do you argue thopomt t-wi'xt tho good and the harm? Well, maybe you do, but I doubt it. When a pair of red lips are Lund up to your own, With no one to gross!p about it; Do you pray tor endurance to let them alont ? Well, maybe you would, but I doubt it. And if by these arts you should captuio a heart, With a womanly sweetness about it; Would you keep it, and guard it, and act the good part? Well, maybe you would, but I doubt it. Next Monday, tho 14th, will be St, Valentine’s Day. Selma Davis and Sim Eubanks made a “business” trip to Shelimau last Sunday. It is not necessary to feel of a. man’s pulse to tell that his con¬ science is good. Politics this year are going to be boiling hot. lie-member von must register in order to vote. Prof. Jenkin’s was in town last Sunday and attended divine services at the Methodist church. Every farmer should Consider tiro Space lor his own food supply before laying off land for cotton. Weatheralically speaking prognos- t'cators are experiencing great diffi¬ culty now-a-days guessing. The man who remarked that, prosperi¬ ty breeds friends while adversity tries t hem was a Close student of human na¬ ture. Hustle and your competitors Rustle with you-, thereby giving the public value received for their money. A it ne 10 -pound baby girl has 'taken up her abode at the homo of Dr. and Mrs. Kagan. She arrived last Saturday. Prof. W. S. Slsoit, has been trying to convince Si. M oh rob that “absence makes the heart grow fonder,” but Si-, says he can’t see it that way. It would be well for farmers to remetnl er that a small patch of umber cane will save them many costly feed bills long in summer. The Monitor don’t propose to dabole in politics just yet. It’s present aim is to give the people of Calhoun county an up-to date local paper. Now is the time for all good men to discourage the propagation of profanity by attending to their own business and letting that of their heighbors alone. There i$ a little matter that $omo of our $ub$eriber$ have $eeminglv forgotten. To u$ it'$ an important, matter, it i$ a nece$$ary in onr bo$ine$$. -.We are very modest and don’t vvi.fli to $peak about it. There are few, very few, times tvhile on this life’s travel, that one Wishes that his journey was com¬ pleted. But there are times when W-e think that a few minutes’ absence bn the other side would greatly re¬ lieve our suffering for the time being. One among the few times are when we are trying to listen to black mouth blatherskite as he is re¬ lating Some disgusting story, making himself the hero at the cud. A very singular but pretty inci¬ dent happened in the parlor of the Thornton House last Monday night In the presence of about eight or ten boys who were singing and amusing themselves in various different ways. A drtimmef, Mr. W. II. Harrison, i-fecited several verses of poetry en¬ titled “There Is a Jlome For the Moneyless Man,” in a very eloquent and impressive manner, Just at the conclusion of Mr. Harrison’s elo quenee, he Was answered by a solo from Mr. Chas. McLendon, sang, “Hallowed Be Thy Name,” in a very touching manner. Don’t annoy others hy your coughing, and risk yottr life by neglecting a cold. One Minute Cough Cure cures coughs, colds, croup, grippe and all throat and lung troubles. Mrs. S. T< Clayton, Mor¬ gan. Henry Tumor, Edison. P. Boyd. Leary. “Wlni I Wow’d i: R Slat I i Wouldn't Do -c i Were r Toy.'" Vice Versa. Not -lung ago Prof. V. S. Short, | the Jiurgan High tie bool, tasked pnjii’s in the intermediate class write compositions, and gave out subjects like thi-: To the What’ “What I Would and I wouldn’t Do if I Wore a Girl.” To the gills, “What 1 Would and What I wouldn’t Bo if I Wore a Bov.” Some of the compositions are very rich, and at times strike the opposite gender a very liar 3 blow. We arc sorry that wo were not able to pub¬ lish them ail as about half of the numb-cf had been misplaced and could not be found. Following are the compositions in question; I would art a gentleman all of my lib ; I wouldn’t out my capers and have to go before the council; I would try to behave iny self: I would go to school and get a good educa¬ tion, and got a goob job and make some money and try to live peacea¬ ble all my life; I wouldn’t curse or use any profane language. I would keep my hair trimmed and combed nicely, and keep my face raid hands clean and try to look decent; I wouldn’t chew tobacco and spit all over the floor, nor I wouldn’t smoke —-I wouldn’t keep any of those bad habits; [ wouldn’t laugh and talk when Proffessor turned his back, and when ho looked around try to make him think I had been a good boy and hadn’t done anything wrong. I would always behave myself and try to keen on the good side of my teacher; I would try to be a friend to everybody and when I went to a party I wouldn’t sit around in the corner as if I was afraid to ask any¬ one to be my partner. I would get mo a partner and go to playing and have a nice time, and I wouldn’t tell stories on the girls about begging the boys to blow the harp for them to dance and put one to watch for Proffessor. BEtiLAii Benton. I think now if I were a man 1 would try to be a gentleman; I would bo truthful and honest; I would not, meddle with other people’s business; 1 would have business of my own, and when I was not busy I would enjoy myself by traveling and by seeking useful knowledge. I would commence to act the gentle¬ man when I was a boy. I would obey my parents and teachers, I would go to school and try to learn not only my lessons but learn to be¬ have myself well, especially in pres¬ ence of ladies or girls. I would not whittle or whistle romp end play in the house; I would get out doors to run, jump, whistle and sing. If I were a boy I would not tease and pick at the girls. I would not quar¬ rel nor fight other boys. Well I could te.il a tight smart more if I were a man but I will have to wait until I got to be a man first. Vida May Ragan. I have often heard people say if I was in some one else’s place 1 would do so and so, and wondered at the time if they really meant it,. Now I am not a boy or a man, but I am a girl of fourteen years; I cant kiss my elbo to save my lire, so I will never be a boy ora man, and when 1 look around and size up the boys I can’t but think I would be different in many ways. In speaking of my parents, 1 would not say old woman and old man; I would bo kind to my sisters prefering them to other girls, causing them to always confide and love me, so you see by doing this every fellow’s sister would fall in love with me, and you know that would be nice; I, as a boy, would never act biget.y and concertative you know, for when I grew up I would not bo a man but a fool; Now if I was a boy don’t think I would chew tobacco and spit on the floor, or smoke cigars, maybe I would cigarettes, but never drink whisky; I would leave that for the idiots; If I was a man I would be a man, not a half one. Get a bean pole and dress it up in a good suit of clothes, and we have a fair sample of the half men, dont you think so? That is the kind of man I would not be. Well it would take me along time to tell what I would do if I was a man, or boy, but I am not neither, so I will close. Kora Caetledge. If I were a man I would act as a man and always behave myself, and not always be into mischief, as some lowminded boys are; If I was only a boy as some people say I would try to be nice, and I think it' I was a boy I would study hard and get a good education, if 1 was not loving the girls too “Short.” Indeed I would not tear down well shelters, and hide tho valuable street lamps, ; ar.d fry to destroy the small city of ours, but help oni d it up, and ho into toischief all the time; 1 would always no kind to my sisters and brothers and not be mean to them: I would always have water and wood for my mother, and when she told me to go up town I would go and not sav yes mam, in a itte; I would not st&v in the house all the time bat be bat doors to be some help; I would always keep the best company, If there was to be a' party in town I would go and be¬ have myself and not sit in the corner; of the room as if I was dead and I ready for a coffin; I would not be s 6 : timid as to make people think I was ashamed of myself, If they were playing marching around ’the level I surely would not run if a girl tried to kiss me, as if I was afraid some one would bite me, and 1 never would say anything that I thought would tease a girl. As I grew up to be a man I would never chew tobacco for that is thrice as bad as snuff, neith¬ er would I drink whisky, no never! I would keep a mile from it s I have said some hard things for the boys to stand, but as I have not said more than half what I would do if I was only a man, but I am a little girl twelve years of age, so bye-bye. Mamie Tinsley. I would always do whatever my parents and teacher told me to d®, I wouldn’t go off whining and say •that it was some one else’s time to sweep the floor; I wouldn’t throw paper on the floor to m. ko another sweep it up; I wouldn’t laugh, talk and whisper across my desk, if I could not study, I wouldn’t keep any one else from studying; I wouldn’t eat, groundpeas and throw the hulls on the floor, and I wouldn’t be trot¬ ting up and down the aisle to see who could make the most fuss. 1 would be too much of a lady to let some of the girls do all the sweeping, uor would I dip snuff at any time, especially iu time of b-oks. Well I haven’t said all that I could say, but if I say anymore it might make you mad with me. John IIagan. There aht three little things which do more work than any other three little things created—they are the ant, the bee and DeWilts Little Early Itisers, the last being the famous little pills for stomach and liver troubles. Mis. S. T. Clayton, Henry Turner, Edison. P. E. Boyd, Leary. Picking Oat a Husbaiid. A contemporary gives the following autice to its fair senders: ‘ For a man’s birth, look to las linen and finger nails, and observe the inflection of his voice. For his taste, study lire color of his tics, the pattern 1 and hang of his trousers, his friends, and liis rings, if any. For his propensities, walk round and look carefully at the back of his head. A symmetrical cerrebellnm, with well !rimmed hair is an indication of self . control and euti-gy. If you want a suc¬ cessful man, see that he has a neat foot; ho will move quicker, get over obstacles faster than a man who falls over his own toes and trips up other folks with ’em, too. For his breeding, talk to him «hen he is starving and ask him to carry a bandbox down tho public fetreet when you’ve just bad a row. To test his temper, tell him his nose is a little on one side and you don’t like the way his hair grows. There are other ways which will suggest themselves naturally to a bright woman, A thrill of terror is expotincetl when a brassy cough ot croup sounds through the house at night. But the terror soon changes to lelief after One Mhiiitb Cough Cure has been administered. Safe and harmless for children. Mrs. S. T. Clay¬ ton, Morgan. Henry Turner, Edison. P. E. Boyd, Leitoy. Only Common Sense. A Common mistake of local advertisers is to estimate the value of advertising space of one newspaper by the amount asked by some other publication, says the Leavenworth Times. It is a mistake of judgement for a business man to estimate the value of space in a reputable news¬ paper with a good circulation by that of some other publication which will accept business at any price and ho pleased to get it. Many advertisers fofgct that advertis¬ ing space in a newspaper is valued ac¬ cording to the circulation 6f that news¬ paper. Advertising space in a journal without circulation is dead at any price the publisher may demand, without cir¬ culation there can be no results, and without results the mofle'y which tho ad¬ vertiser invests is lost. Because the busi¬ ness man takes notice of his own an¬ nouncement does not prove by any moans that his advertising Is paying him. It’s the other people—the general public—he wants to roach, and If the medium ho uses lacks circulation ho will never he 1 able to roach them.
