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. Bonieta, Montague county, Tex. 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 ..

Wq _ regret to note that the Odium- bis, Aim, Breeze has suspended pub- lication. Columbia is a good town and the Breeze was a good paper. it o nope its editor can be induces to resumed its publication. 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 | progressive earth.

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- Reals i ho Klondike.
