(BY MX. ARARAT.) I hardly know v liut I will write this week that will interest llie readers of the Monitor as news is so scarce, H. A. whitakev returned from the war Friday afternoon, 1 say front the vrar he left here to go and enlist'but he only got as far as his home. He thought it best to return. ' Two candidates, Major Horsley Gapt. if'utch, was shaking bauds with friends here Sunday. •‘Better the day better the deed.” I toll you the weather is getting hot and »e aro certain! v needing rain, several „ , cirummers , visited . . ; our , town last week. Mr. wooten is still gaining ground on liis way to the Legislature. If he don’t get there tirM he’ll most. we do not hear any thing from Dewey now a days. It is all Sampson !l “ a other, I suppose Dewey has ins arms and month both full which he cannot very well turn loose. Hid you all konw that they will not lot the children play on the grass. Some one will want to know why. It is because it is too “Dewey.” Now laugh. MissAlieBay was over here Monday aa d Tuesday trying to get up a painting c j as3# I do not know whether she sue cewled or not. Eow much do you reckon the clerks 0 j j^j-y woa jd enjoy it if their bosses would let them close the stores at 6 o’clock? Brother McCullough filled his regular appointment at Edison Bungay. It is not deliuitely known when lio will leave for Virginia. Miss Ella Hi!ey visited relatives here th « krst part ot the week. It seems nke all the boys who went to the war from around here soon got enough of it and made their way home¬ ward. It is getting about time for the candi¬ dates to start around, I stated above in my letter that it was uncertain when Brother McCullough would leave. He wiil leave to-inorrow (Thursday.) we sorry to see Mr. Me Cullough leave as he hits made many warm fiieuds while here in his pastorinl work. It is not known who will succeed him here. Mrs. R. E. Dayton visited relatives here Sunday. Mr. E. P. Parkins passed through here Tuesday night on his way home from near Newton where he has been doing some work. s I am glad somebody did not go home Wednesday. Dr. E. K: Rainey was liere Monday doing some “tooth” work. Allof you folks must come to see us, when you have not. got any where else to go so I can have something to write next. week. Jack Powel in his Blakely Ob server comes forward and remarks that “there are some great fools in this beautiful world of ours, and what is surprising in connection is the fact that no matter how great the fool you may discover, you will always find some still greater fool to admire him. The change in the locals of Mrs. E. M. Crittenden were crowded out this week. They wiil appear next week Look for them; they are interesting. Mr. and Mrs James Monroe have gone to Atlanta win re they will spend several weeks on a pleasure trip. ______ ! Mr. S. T.

Pine weather for mother hubberts and palmetto fans. Mr. G. B. Perry and his daughter. Miss Annie, of our burg, paid friends and relatives a call in' Newton Saturday and Sunday. ! Messrs.

B, ttays9uid Perry is rushing a | stmw l ult you can’t imagine how toney ho is looking, ilou. Jepp Washington Jones, of our city, paid our sister town, ay, a business trip on Wednesday last. Our depot agent is all smiles now- a-days. Says that lie is in love. Guess bo is right about it. But no one has vouched for him as yet.' Say, you writer from Poudtown, I will put a small bug in your ear. We don’t think that you are calico by any means, for the inhabitants of ponds down boro don’t wear calico. And about the boys in vour section getting married before the war so their wives can pul! the government, for’ pension boodle, we think that is entirely out of the question, Wo boys don’t want our wiyes to draw a pension as we are able to care for them without that. If that is the kind of calico von are boasting about we don’t need it. Should wo go blind and marry one of them we would be in war here all tho time without having to go to tho Spanish- American war. Our Daisy Belle suits us, and if she don’t suit you, you should not come to see her. Our cellar door has nails in it and it is hot at all comfortable for some peo- | pie to slide'down- I can now see j the reason you did not mind getting I your teet wot when up here some j time ago. You were in tho habit of I spending the greater portion of your time In the pond, Judge Pony has broken the main j spring in bis whistler and wants a j new one. Can tho editor tell him where (b get one? Hon. Jimmie Wooten is still try¬ ing to devise some way in which to keep from work. Ho says the days are getting too warm for him.

I have not received the peeper in about four weeks, and we miss it very much. I would like lo say hero that von have tho best weekly paper 1 have over road. Get. this weeks issue to mo if possible. 1 understand Maj. W. J. JJorseloy is a candidate for Reproseutative t’ron your county. What do you think of Iris chance’s to win? I hope you aro m his favor, you arc in a position to do more for him than any other man in the county can do. 1 will consider it a personal favor if you will do what you can for him. And will say that. Yours truly, J. L. Jay, Jb. Honor to (Lo Gallant Tara. While the name of Iho bravo Dew¬ ey is on the lips of the world the gal¬ lant gunners who did the real work in .Manila harbor must not be forgot¬ ten. Their names are not cabled under the seas or sent flying around the world, but every man that stood by the guns ahd executed the admi¬ ral's orders in that historic light has a noble shave in the honor of the victory. No braver men or better fighters sail the seven seas than the gallant Yankee tars. The deserved words of praise licapod upon the eommandms aro an implied honor to the heroes who risk or give their lives to execute their orders, It is the faithfulness -f the grimy gunners and of the skilled seamen that gives strength to the admiral’s arm. These men am tho hands and swift feet ‘hat put into heroic deeds tha great thoughts of tliose who command. Without hands ami foot tho brain is powerless, W it bout (ho obscure hut heroic satl- or-Fohlicrs whose individual names must largely remain unknown the bravest of commanders would have been helpless in Manila harbor.—Chi¬ cago Tribune.
