The rain last Tuesday afternoon and yesterday morning gave vegeta¬ tion a new start. It was an answer to many prayers from the lips of hundreds of farmers of Southwest Georgia. ' In the announcement column un¬ der the head of Tax Receiver will be found the card of Mr. M. A. Bunch, who appeals to the voters of Calhoun count' for their support to the office he aspires Mr. Bunch is a good man and is well qualified to fill the position. He is at present book¬ keeper for Capt. P. E. Boyd, of Leary, The announcement, of Maj. VY. J. Ilorselev, of Arlington, for repre— I sentative of Calhoun county, can be found in this week’s paper. The | people of tho Arlington district ft el like they ought to be allowed to name tho representative this time, and we don’t think they could have made a better selection than Major Horseley. It is with profound regret that the j Monitor is called on to chronicle the departure of Morgan's beloved pastor, Dev. Francis McCullough, who will i l eavo next Saturday for Bridgewater, ] Va., where he has been transferor! by the Methodist conference. Mr. Mc¬ Cullough lias made a number of warm friends in Calhoun county who regret to sec him leave, but who wish for him unbound success in his new field of labor. Nows reached Morgan this week of a murder near the line of Calhoun and Terrell counties which happened last Saturday. It appears that a no- gro, Anderson Clark, who lives on tlio Stevens’ place, had had a quarrel with another negro, whose mono could not be learned. After tho fuss Clark warned his enemy never to put his foot on liia place again under pen' at ,f eHlL , 1,0 g*'0 j 'hdn’t like this . and ho resolved to “try” Clark, who fired two loads of 10t . .. enemy’s abdomen lilto . ‘ HS as soon as be made his opp<t-arenee, which resulted in instant death. Glark is now in the Terrel! county jail to await his trial for murder. —— T- ( r ind Bicycles. o -v Y. l v. r\ If you want a I5ICYCLE or SHOT GUN call on us. Wo can certainly interest you.

STATE AND GENERAL NEWS Executive Commit,tee Met, The Calhoun Democratic tive Committee met at the court house on Thursday, May 5th, accord¬ ing to previous notice. Those pres¬ ent were; A. J. Dixon, C. L. Smith, G. W. Eubank, J. H. Turner, J- C. Price and L, G. Cartledge. Organization was perfected by electing L, G. Cartledge, chairman, and A. 3. Dixon, secretary. Tho following gentlemen were ap¬ pointed to hold the primary election on the 6th day of June next: Arlington—Andrew Sanders and VY E. Dosl wick. Williamsburg—0. .T. McDaniel! and J. W. Gore. Leary—W. Pi. C. Cunningham and Thomas Jordra. Got dray—Enoch Jordan and J, G. AVimberly. Morgan—J. O. McGuvrt and Moses Timmons. Edison —John Ward and J. R. Strickland. In case a vacancy is made in either of the above district, any member of the Executive Committee of said district has the power to appoint some one to fill the vacancy. It was ordered that each voter vote iu his own district and shall not be allowed to vote elsewhere. After the polls aro closed in each district the members of the Execu¬ tive Committee are to take charge of the returns and meet with the Exec¬ utive Committee of the countv by 12 o’clock m. on Tuesday, the 7th day Juno for tho purpose of consolida¬ tion. It was resolved by the committee that, all the Domociats bo allowed lo participate in the primary, the Dem¬ ocratic com mi Pee resuming the right to purge tho returns of all votes which they deem to be illegal. It was also resolved by the com- mil tee that each absentee from a tegular meeting of this Executive Committee be fined not more than fifty cents, unless providentially pre¬ vented. After fully discussing the matter it was deemed best to defer the pri¬ mary for Senator o£ the Ninth Sena¬ torial District until the 23d of June, as Baker county, whose time it is to name the candidate, has not acted in tho matter.

Berner, who was ad- vertised to speak in Arliugt on last Saturday morning and herein the at tornoon, failed to mako his appear- iir.ee on account of sickncts. In a telegram received announcing that it would be impossible for him to come hist Saturday, he expressed a hope of being here On Friday May 20th without fail Remember the date. Editor E. A. Nisbot, of tho Poulan News and Immigrant, has volun¬ teered his services in Uncle Sam’s army against Spain, Tim editor's wife will keep the paper up in the absence of her husband. Wo take pleasure in calling attorn- tion to the change in the advertise- meat of Mr. T. R. Hammond, of Leary, on the fourth page of this week's paper. Lieutenant Tom Dunn, of Cuth- | bert, was mingling with his many j Morgan friends hero last Monday. Hon. R. L. ReriicT in Morgan tomorrow week at 3 o’clock at tin j courthouse. Frank Dunn was a regular visitor to Morgan this vreek. The Dig Kook Fight. For several days Calhoun county has been stirred from center to cir¬ cumference by lively book agents, Our county school commissioner and the Board members have been very popular this week. Yesterday the Board of Education met to adopt books to be taught in the public schools of tho county for the next five years. Tho agents tonwht hard for their respective coni¬ panics from 10 a. m. until 4 p. m. '1 hen alter some deliberation, the Board called in tho competitors to hear the result. Quito a crowd had gathered about tho court, house and it was amusing to see the rivals file in to meet their doom. The adoption was as follows: “Webster’s Spellers and Dictionaries, Swinton’s Spellers, Baldwin’s Readers, Milne’s Arithme- tic, Reed and Kellogg’s Grammar, Appleton’s Geography for Litti^ Learners, Iiedway’s Geography,' Eggleston’s History, Harris’ Stories of Georgia, Merrill’s Vertical Copy Book ” Allot the books are published by the American Book Co., except the grammars and copy books which are published by .Maynard Merrill & Co. At first thought some people will criticise our Board for forcing them to buy new books, but a little reflec¬ tion will cause anyone to see that the right thing has been done, In the profession of teaching there has been a wonderful progress. Tu the art of book-making there has been many im¬ provements and the Board would have fallen short of their duty bad they not put these new and splendid tools in the hands of our children, It would have been an injustice to the teachers of tho county to force them to continue the use of books that aro back numbers. To demonstrate tho wisdom of our Board, look at 'the arithmetics: Sanford’s series ccsts $2.20 while Milne’s, a hotter .and more up-to-date book, a fuller and higher series, can he bought for 95 cents. Don’t grumble before you think just a litttle. Hon. R. L. Denier candidate lor nomination to the office of Goveiior ,, tvill undress the people of this section on Friday May 20 at the court house iu Morgan at 3 o’clock. An invitation is exten¬ ded every body to attend. Mr. K. II. McMiehael, agent of the American Book Co., has been in-our county a few day's in tlie in¬ terest of his company, while here Mr. McMiehael certainly won the good will and respect of our people. His open, honest countenance and dignified conduct must aid him ‘"-"■f up an honest, clean .....-w tight, T based w r sound criticisms and logical reasons. He must do so for he walked off with Calhoun’s adoptions while some of his competitors went home with nothing. Dewey’s brilliant victory is with¬ out a parallel in naval warfare. The Americans destroyed the Spanish fleete and forts, silenced t ho guns on shore and now command tho bay at Manila. The Americans did not lose a single life and had only a few men .-lightly wounded. The goveiior- general of the Philippines cables to Madrid that tho (Spanish squadron is destroyed and 01.8 mo were killed and wounded. Next. Saturday and Bunday will he regular preaching days in Morgan at the Baptist church by tho pastor, Rev. Z. T. Weaver. Everybody is invited to attend all the services. $1 PER YEAR P OFESSIONAL CARDS.
