Bring us the longest stalk of sugar cane and get the Monitor one year free. Miss Daisy McMurria was mar- ried to Mr. Cortez Mathis, last Sunday at the bride’s home in Baker county. Mr. John Stewart presented the Monitor with the champion stalk of sugar cane this week. It measured seven inches. Miss Flossie Davis wrote the Monitor a letter this week, but for lack of space we left it out. It will appear next week. Last Tuesday Miss Gertrude Jackson was called to the bed-side pf her father in Cuthbert, who is very ill. Her many friends here hope to soon learn of Mr. Jack- son’s recovery. About two weeks ago Sheriff Davis arrested Ed Dorkins, who was loitering around in the coun¬ ty, on suspicion, thinking that ho might be wanted somewhere. It has later developed that he is an escaped convict and is badly wanted in Alabama. A representative of the Gross Lumber Co., came to Morgan last Tuesday after the negro Goins, who was arrested several days ago for the robbery of Col. Dunn. Goins will finish his sentence in the gang then he will be brought back to Calhoun and tried for the robbing of Col. Dunn. Little John Price, the 8-month- old boy of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Wooten, of Williamsburg, died at the home of Mr. T. P. David¬ son in Randolph county last Tues¬ day morning at 9 o’clock, with a congestive chill. The little in¬ fant was sick only one day. The remains were interred in the Bap¬ tist cemetery yesterday at 11:80 o’clock. The Monitor deeply sympathize with the bereaved parents. The whole community mourns the death of Mrs. Walter Embry, who passed away at her home in Leary last Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock, after an illness of about a month of typhoid fever. Mrs. Embry leaves a devoted husband and three children to mourn her death. The remains were in¬ terred in tho Methodist cemetery in Morgan yesterday morning at 11:80 o’clock, Rev. I. F. Griffith performing the last sad rites. The condolence of the Monitor are ex¬ tended the bereaved relatives of the deceased in this their saddest affliction. Remember, and come out next Tuesday and vote for Griggs. Something For the Business Men.

Isler, administrator upon the estate of John Mansfield, deceased, opened the day of sales by putting up lots Nos. 154 and 155 in the Third district contain¬ ing 500 acres, known as the Mans¬ field place. The place was bid off by Mr. J. A. Thornton for $1,050. Mr. Isler then put up part of lot No. 161 in the Third district and part of lot No. 10 in the Fourth district, known as the Gid Mansfield place, containing 140 acres, which was also bid off by Mr. J. A. Thornton for $400. Sheriff Davis next took the stand and made tho following sales: Six bales cotton, @4c; 400 bushels corn, @85c; 4,000 pounds fodder, @40c; 150 gallons syrup, @16£c; 1 acre sweet potatoes at 32.50; 160 bushels cotton seed, @ 10c, all being bought by J. N. Daniell for T. W. Hammond. Sheriff Davis next sold two iron gray mules $105.50, one second¬ hand buggy and harnoss for $88, and two bales cotton @4c, all to J. A. Thornton. Last Monday night about half past six o’clock fire was discovered in the second sto;y of tho Thornton House between the ceiling and the roof. The alarm was at once given and a crowd of citizens at once gathered on tho scene. The bucket brigade soon got to work and the fire was extinguished. The fire is supposed to have been caused by rats as no chimney or stove flue is near where the fire broke out. Fifteen dollars is the extent of the damage which is fully covered by in¬ surance. ■ _ But didn’t the Morgan bucket bri¬ gade get in some good work at the fire last Monday night.

The following from a friend is not exactly a lumber item, and yet it may be of use to the lumber trade as it may open up future possi¬ bilities for a waste of the saw mills? He says: “A contractor and builder, being of an investigating turn of mind', last spring tried the experi¬ ment of mixing a little sawdust with the meal he fed to his chiokens. He was so well pleased with the experi¬ ment that ho determined to give up feeding his hens on corn meal, and iustead kept filling them up on saw¬ dust... Shortly after he set a hen with ^thirteen eggs. Last week she came off with a curious lot of chicks. Twelve of them had wooden legs, and the other was a woodpecker.— Ex. Acongfc is not like a fever.

Tin¬ sley k Company, Morgan; Dr. F. P. Griffin, burg; Henry Leary Turner, ; J. W. Edison. Jones, Williams¬ glanders On Americans. The thing* that we sometimes see in the European papers about American characteristics and their habits and man- n«ra are really provoking. As a people and nation we are open targets for the critics of all the nations of tbe world— dae, perhaps, to the faot that nearly all the nations of the world are jealous of us. Even in England it is evident that many are possessed of the idea that the people of America are only a few de¬ grees removed from savagery. An En glish newspaper declares, for instance, that it is characteristic of all Americans to rest their elbows on the table while eating, and this shocking habit is the result of fondness for green corn boiled on tbe cob. The English paper makes this atrocious attack upon ns: “The habit of resting the elbow upon the table while eating so unquestionably peouiiar to Americans, is the result of the quantity of green com which is consumed annually in the United States. As this artiele of diet is almost unknown on the continent, it is necessary to say that it consist* of an., ear or oob from whioh the kernels of corn are taken di¬ rectly into tho month witbont the aid of any mechanical device. As these ears are of great size—often so large that few men no woman or child oonid convey them to the mouth with one band—it becomes neecessary to support the el¬ bows while holding up the ear. Tlie table is naturally seloctod as this sup¬ port and from this rises the obnoxious habit. 'The few Americans who are not addioted to it are those who eat their corn by placing the ear upon the tabios and lowering the mouth to it. But this method obtains but little because when two pr more people are eatiug dif¬ ficulties arise.” When you ask for De Witt's Witch Hazel Halve don't accept a counterfeit or imitation.
