Another Letter From Texas.
Dear Editor:—In last week’s Monitor
I saw a letter from Texas. I wish
to own it in part. It stated that tho
writer was in the “Wooly West.” t
agree with tho Brother there for
wooly it is. I have been to Houston
a few times and tho wooly heads are
plentiful, but if Charlie will come up
to old Montague county ho will
change the expression thus: the
“Hairy West.” I tell you, the
“wooly” heads are scarce. This is a
straight haired county. If wo go
visiting wo had as soon leave the
doors open as to shut them. You
can’t find a lock and key in this part
of Texas, that is, on tho farm, Ev-
ery body is white out here,
I came from Georgia in 1883,
stayed six years and went back to see
the folks. Every thing looked natu¬
ral. but my father, Mr. G M. Davis,
had changed some and I guess he
looks old by this time.
It has been a long time since I
came out hers therefore I can't say
anything of my trip,'but I want to
tell you Charlie that if it had been
day-light ail the way from Georgia to
Texas you could not have seen half
there was to look at for I have been
eve:.'the road three times and don’t
know it a!^ yet.
As for the city of Houston it is a
litttle larger than Dickey.
It is live miles to our post office
and our school has 69 scholars en¬
rolled. Our law puts them in school
from 8 to 17 How is that for old
Texas? I am glad to learn that you
have a fine school in Morgan,
We have very good crops this year
and we do not have to make a sale
every year. I have 22 acres cf cot¬
ton, will gather 12 or 15 bales and
.have plenty of corn. I think that -we
are doing well. Best wishes to the
Monitor, managers and readers.
Oct. 7, ’98. G. H. Davis.

After twenty-one years’ service in
the employ of the Central of Georgia
Railway Company at this point and
at Leary before he catne to Arling¬
ton, Major W. J. Horsley last week
tendered his resignation as
agent. Major Horsley’s record has
been one of fidelity and efficient
semeo and he goes out of the em¬
ploy of the Central with a dean bal¬
ance sheet and the-esteem of his foi
met* employers and his homo people,
His successor, Mr. A. B. Stevens,
recently of Columbia, took charge of
tho office yesterday, and tho Major
is now at liberty to look after his
private business. His fanuhar face
will be much missed from the post
ho has so long L i d. Mr. Stevens
is no stran^r to our older
.tarns wrwft , *. . , , .
here some years ago, and wo
ho will find his labors , , in .. Arlington . ,. ,
pleasant, and agreeable. , . „„ the , large
1 &
amount of work heretofore none
this agency will .... be greater ,
even now
that the Georgia Pino agency has
been added to It and will make his
position no sinecure,- -Arlington

The Blakely Observer of last week
says: Gongrosstnan J. M. Griggs
has been hero this week and, of
course, was given a warm welcome
by . is many friends and admirers.
That his Early county constituents
are proud of his record goes without
saying. His return trip to Congress
will bo easily made,
A bachelor once asked a married
man, who had an excellent wife,
where he found her. The reply was
“At home with her mother, and not
,pn tho streets.” Of course girls
havo business on the streets some¬
times, but they should have as little
as possible. Men who make good
husbands, in looking for wives, go to
tho homes and not to the streets for
them.
It is said that a Western firm re
cently adopted the rather unique
name of “Tho Flying Squadron.”
The people of the town could not
figure out what it meant until the
first of the mouth, when a lot of bills
c; ' ni0 ***> Then the store was found
closed and a brief note, tacked on
the door read: “Ordered to the Phil-
jipines,” That, of course, explained
matters.
Hore is a paragraph from the Co¬
lumbia Record which has a wider ap
plication than the town of Columbia:
“Columbia is unfortunately possess-
i e( f 0 f a certain class of people which
j would be a drawback to tho most

Divide anything up into parts and
you magnify it, says the New Or¬
leans Times-Democrat. A certain
wise tnan took this way to give his
wife an idea of how much $1,000 is.
She had no idea of money. Her
purchases were enormous, It haps
p0 nod one day that her eyes fell
upon a magnificent ring, and she
covered it. It cost $1,000. But
what was $1,000 to her, in compari-
son w hh the ring? Of course her
husbana consented to the purchase.
What else eculd a dutiful, affection¬
ate husband do? But he tried this
method of educating, his wife con¬
cerning the great price of the ring.
Ho instructed his banker to send her
tho $1,000 in small pieces—pennies,
dimes, quarters. In came the money
bagful after bagful. She never had
suc h an idea of $1,000 before. When
t u 0 motle y vm p j Ier i before her it
farmed her. the price of the ring
'
went op ao hundredfold, and was
considered at once an extravagance
which she, ;.f her own option, alum
doneti.
At the Grady.hospital in Atlanta,
there lies a man who has visited
many dimes and who has seen the
world in many phases. Henry
is his name, and he. was
born iii thg East Indies. When old
enough bo entered tho English army
and later landed in England, whore
he did service as a train hand. Be¬
ing of a roaming nature he soon
made his way across the sea and
settled down in Canada. His next
move was to Ohio, and, while there,
was att roted by the glowing descrip¬
tions of Florida aud early drifted to'
the Land of Flowers. He did not
find, as he had expected, his new
home to be a place where man could
live on flowery beds of ease, and,
moneyless, and in failing health, ho
is making his way back to Canada
on root, lie bad walked from Pa-
laiku to Atlanta, when tho hand of
affliction made it necessary for him
to stop on the wayside-

A Georgia newspaper prints the
following marriage ceremony that
was delivered a short time ago:
“Wilt thou take her for thy pavd,
for bettor or tor worse; to have, to
hold, to fondly guard ’till hauled off
ik a hearse? wilt thou let her have
her way, consult her many wishes;
make the fire up every day aud help

her all the stuff her little purse can
pack, buy a boa and a muff and a
little sealskin saeque? wilt thou com¬
fort and supporl her
father and her mother, Aunt Jemi¬
ma Uncle John throe sisters and a
brother?” And his face grew pale
and blank, it was too late to jilt; as
through the chapel floor he sank ho
sadly said: “I Wilt.”
