It has been reported by parties
who don’t want the Georgia Pine
railroad to come to Morgan, that
it lms been sold to tin- Central of
Georgia mad. That report has
been branded as false at headquar-
ters of both ro,ads. People wh
want the road to come to Morgan
must keep a lookout for such false
reports and brand them as lies on
all sides. The road is coming to
Morgan as fast as it can be built,

Every time a farmer carries
bale of cotton to market, this fail,
he should remember the congress-
man from the Second Georgia dis-
trict. When the war tax bill
came up Indore congress from the
committee room it contained a
provision taxing each package
deposited in a warehouse 25 cents.
Mr. Griggs proposed an amend-
ment to the bill excepting agri-
cultural products, when deposited
by the producer, which saves the
farmer 25 cents on each halo \ y
his cotton.

the Morgan Monitor that Miss
Hortense Shivers, of Albany, will
be assistant teacher in the Morgan

session, which bigins on the sec-
ond Monday in September, The
people of Morgai are to be eon-
gratulated upon their good for-
tune in securing the services ( ) t
this accomplished young lady as a
teacher in their school. Mb s
Shivers graduated at Lucy Cobb
Institute, Athens, last year with
the highest honors of that justly
famous school, and that is sufii-
eient guarantee of her thorough
scholarship. Her amiable dispo¬
sition and generally attractive
personality have made her one of
the most popular vo,u,g women of
Albany, and she will b, great iv

It is just as natural for Sidney
Laseelles, the erstwhile Lord Be-
resford, to get into trouble as it
is for the sun to.shine. He may
have a hard time of it, however,
before he gets through with his
Bitest escapade in the city of Mex-
CO. In the course of his opera-
tions there ho managed to get in
debt the extent of about
