With sadness we learn of the death of Hernando Murphree which occurred at the home of his father at Loyd on the night of the 4th. Hernando was one of nature's noblemen and though called hence while yet in his twenties his life has been such that its influence will live long after the mouldering dust has consumed his body. For several years past he has been in failing health and had sought for succor from nearby mineral wells, but neither this nor the skill of physicians seemed to any avail. Hernando Murphree will be missed by the numerous friends he had all over the county and all will join the sorrowing parents in this dark hour of grief with sincere sympathy.

We appreciate visitors to the Monitor office anytime, and we always have time to entertain real visitors - those who came in to transact business or pay us a social call - but we are too busy to devote our time to loafers. Those who have no employment should stop and think before taking up the time of those who have. We do not mean this personally to anyone - just merely wish to cause them to think how busy we always are.

The boys at the court house played off a right good joke on Assessor Reid Monday night. After the Woodmen Lodge, he went into the Chancery clerk's office, sat down before the fire and went to sleep, and while he was sleeping, the boys blew out the lamps, went out and locked the door and then waited for him to wake up. Atty. Johnson remained in the office hidden, to see the fun, and he hasn't quit laughing yet.

Lots of men will walk all around a dozen good jobs looking for the one that doesn't exist.

It is now claimed that it is a hard matter to keep soldiers. Men do not care to enlist in the army at $13 a month when they can get from a dollar and a half a day to three dollars. In the army they would only get 43 cents a day. So it looks like the wages of the soldiers should be raised.

Say Mr. Man, what would you know about your neighbors, or even your own children, if you wife didn't keep you posted now and then.

Say, don't ever take a back seat at church just because somebody asks you too, for one never knows, maybe you are entitled to something better.

Why is all this row over the increase in price of lager beer. Any blockhead ought to know that it isn't putting beer up that makes trouble, it is putting too much of it down.

Some men only agree with their wives now and then just to escape a tongue lashing.

When a boy at the age of 16 or 17 falls in love with a girl, he won't go to school regular, he can't sleep at night and the most trouble of all, he won't stay at home, but finally he runs his wagon against a stump, then he gets his wheels fixed.

It is better to be poor than dishonest, but it's better to be neither one. [copied ended]

Attention Confederates
 
As the time for our semi-annual meeting the 3rd. Monday in March draws nigh it is the desire of our worthy commander, Hon. R. N. Provine and others that we have a full attendance of the camp on the 16th day of March next. The great majority of our comrades have preceded us across the mystic river and our ranks are thin indeed. Let us, however have another rousing meeting and talk of the past and the future ere we join the silent majority. Let every old soldier in the county be present on this occasion and if his name is not already enrolled as a member of Camp 553 have it placed there. It will do you no harm. The object of the organizations are non political. They are for association and the preservation of facts. Give us your name, company and Regiment. Some day these will be placed on file in the clerk’s office. Remember the meeting on the 16th and come.

To visit our old friends once in a while creates within us a nearest [dearest?} feeling if possible than we could have otherwise. We had the pleasure of visiting our old friend H. J. Hawkins last Sunday and was glad to find him in good health, but sorry to find him despondent and weary of life. We worked for him a great deal in our boy days and became greatly attached to him, besides we have brothers and sisters married in his family and almost look to him as a father. We think before a child should disturb his parents he should sacrifice his property and his life.
 
Prof. E. N. Cook, who is teaching the Wardwell school visited home last Saturday and Sunday. He says he is a candidate for Supervisor and that if he can beat the other fellows he’ll get the office. We guess the other fellows think that way too.
 
Sickness in our community has about given away and Dr. Dottery is having some rest now, though he has been very busy for the past month, having had some very bad cases of pneumonia and has been very successful considering his traveling night and day in the stormy rains and muddy flat woods.
 
Mr. T. J. Phillips and son of Reid were in our town last Sunday.
 
Mr. J. D. Richards started to Okolona last Sunday evening. He said his main business was to hurry up the railroad. He said he would tell us the truth about it too when he got back and you know he’ll do that, ‘cause he don’t deal in jokes any way.

Owing to the publication of the delinquent tax list and other advertisements this week the paper is rather short, several items and communications being crowded out, however, this state of affairs will not exist long, and we hope that forbearance will not cease to be a virtue with our correspondents and readers before we “get at ourself again”.

In the announcement column may be found the name of Mr. M. D. L. Howell who is a candidate for Supervisor in beat No. 3. Mr. Howell served his people in this capacity for several years with fidelity.

Pittsboro will soon be in connection with the outside world in every direction by telephone lines that will connect with long distance lines. A line will soon be completed via Benela, Hohenlinden and other places to the Georgia Pacific R. R., and there are already two lines by way of Banner to Water Valley, while the east and west lines are in working order. We only lack a common terminus here. There should by all means be a switch board at Pittsboro. Well, the railroad can’t slip up on us anyway.

Editors Monitor:
Will you please allow me space in your paper for a few words of thanks to my friends in Calhoun?
Dear Friends: I am in a bad fix to get along in this world, but I thank you for what you have already done for me. I am glad that I have got some good friends. I want to try to live a better life than I have been living and be ready to meet my good friends in a better world than this. I think much of my condition.

Dear friends, do you ever think of a boy in my condition. I am very glad that I have a place like this to live, though some may think it is very bad. We get good board and are treated well. Some people don’t know good treatment when they get it. My father has been dead about twelve years, and mother ten. I think when we lose our father and mother we lose our best friends.

several people making staves and wanting hands, and they are scarce. The timber business is interfering much with the farming interest and after a while here will come the railroad building with its demoralizing influences on farming. I want the R. R., yes, I do, but there is no reason way people should neglect their farms just because the R. R. contractors will offer a big price, or what appears to be a big price. My judgment is that a man who has a farm, let it be a small one, cannot afford to leave off his farming and take anything like a reasonable price and do public work. It pays to work away from home at odd times, but never neglect your crop while it is growing. Now is the time to prepare for planting and when the time comes plant. There is no success in planting and preparing all at the same time.

Now boys, when you learn to do better and prove that you will do better you may get the girls to go to another dance. Now understand it wasn’t all the boys that happened to this misfortune, but all suffered loss and disappointment alike.

Random Thoughts
As some of our rural schools have already suspended till summer, before completing the allotted five months free term and others will follow soon, our young friends, the teachers of these schools, must follow during the vacation interval, some other vocation.
 
Perhaps ‘twould be better for these teachers if opportunities are favorable, to enter some good school of the county or elsewhere and brighten up in the “Teachers course.” To be sure, ‘twould be better for both the patrons and teachers of these rural schools to finish the term at one session and not stop as is almost invariably the case to make a crop.
 
But “circumstances alter cases.” A great majority of our farmers believe that they can’t spare their children from the fields and so it is with many of them, and it again under the present law, new comers to the county can’t use the school books they brought with them, and the book question with them is a grave question. Many pupils are forced to stop school and go to work in order to buy clothing as well as to pay for high priced books.
 
We doubt very much, whether a majority of our county people would petition for, or make use of a longer period than the five months free term, till times get easier, for but few could avail themselves of the advantages offered now after our several years of crop failure.
 
The recent increase in the appropriation for our common schools will either give us a longer free term or increase the pay of the teachers. Now, if our teachers in the rural districts were paid enough to justify, no doubt but that any of them would employ this crop interval in attending some good school or institute themselves and thus increase their efficiency as teachers and this course would rebound to the interest of the patrons as well as the teacher.
 
Not that we think Calhoun teachers are deficient and behind the teachers of other counties in theory, practice, or the good judgment necessary to successful teaching, for we know that they are among the best, yet it is hardly possible for them to be too well versed in this most important of all work, “teaching the young idea how to shoot.”
 
Our best teachers and the ones that do most good are the ones that labor faithfully and conscientiously to start the little fellows aright: the pronunciation of syllables and words in orthography, the elementary sounds in connection with correct attitudes and tones while reading etc. is of the utmost importance. As the foundation is the most important consideration in erecting a structure, so the child in its education, should never have to unlearn what it has learned amiss. When the boy and girl get older, they will take care then for themselves.
 
But we know from experience, that a poor teacher, who is hardly qualified for his work and is paid little for teaching, who must teach three months in the winter and two months in the summer and make a crop in the interval in order to live has little chance to improve and make a successful teacher.
 
Rather than our institutes as now conducted, I would favor using the institute fund and if needed, a little of this increased appropriation in each county to run a teachers school, under the supervision of the superintendent, by some of our best teachers and fully as much attention should be given to the fundamental studies, how to train the little fellows, as the higher branches in these schools.
 
At present salaries, but few indeed of our teachers are able to divide up the five free months and go off to a school during vacation, paying board, a high tuition etc. And

It is somewhat with a feeling of reluctance that I announce myself as a candidate for Chancery Clerk, because of my inability to make the canvass, but feeling my claims and qualifications to be such as to give me a just and reasonable hope of success, I enter the race.
 
In so doing, I look forward with pleasure to the opportunity I will have in meeting many of my old friends and with the hope of making many new ones.
 
My only pledge is that if elected I shall do my best to be a worthy officer and endeavor to do all that law and right require. If after considering my cause, you elect me, I will appreciate your gift as much as any one could, if you elect another I will bow submissively to the will of the people as I did four years ago.
 
Feeling that success is honorable and defeat in no wise disgraces, I submit my application to you.
Respt. John W. Simpson Slate Springs, Miss.
 
Unimproved hardwood timber lands of the very best quality are yet on the market at points in Mississippi. The cost of clearing and fencing these lands is not to exceed ten dollars per acre, and, when cleared, they will grow a bale of cotton worth from forty to fifty dollars per bale, or 60 bushels of corn worth from 60 cents to a dollar per bushel to the acre. Every real estate agent who has studied the agricultural conditions of this country understands how, with the rapid increase in population making a constantly increased demand for everything eatable, it is utterly impossible for fertile lands to remain at present values in any section of our country, either North or South.
