ual affairs of the Baptist denomina-
ton in this city.
Rev. Hampton has resigned his
pastorate in this city and will leave
in short time for Gainesville, Ca,
where he has accepted the pastorate
of the Baptist church at that place
at larger salary than the one re-
Ceived while here.
Few men have made as many
friends as the pastor of the Baptist
church during his stay in this city.
Of pleasing personality and Oblig-
ing nature, he has labored long and
hard to gain friends for his church
and converts to the cause Of Christ.
He has been unusually successful
in his work in this field and carries
with him the best wishes of all in
his new location.
The Monitor sincerely trusts Rev.
Hampton will find the work in his
new field very pleasant, and wishes
for himself and family all the sue
cess to which they are entitled
MOberly Monitor.

A Greater Monroe.

I'e machinery for drilling Mon
roe Litys deep we'll arrived Monday
and is being placed in position for
work The drilling will begin with
in a couple of days and the parties
in charge are confident of finding
the required amount of water with
in 1900 or 1900 feet.
1t is to be hoped that every citi-
zen of Monroe with the good of the
community at heart will put his
shoulder to the wheel with united
effort for a water works and sewer
age system for Monroe. This city
has just as good a chance to forge
ahead as any inland town in the
country. Indeed few towns in the
state are so favorably located and
possess the natural advantages and
surroundings as Monroe City. Yet
if we sit still and let the procession
90 by, all these features will come
to naught and we will be forced to
take a back seat, whether we like
it or not. Other towns have kept
to the front and are now enjoying
the fruits of their enterprise and
business forethought, and why not
Monroe? Let us increase our busi-
ness, increase the price of real
estate, add to our population, give
employment to our laborerS and in
augurate a general boom for our
little city by installing Water Works
and Sewerage in Monroe.

MEMORIAL DAY.
Citizens Decorate Graves of Depart
ed Friends - A Day Which
Should Be Generally Observed

At Columbus, Miss, the former
home of Mrs. NJ. B. Proctor of this
city, Memorial Day was first observ-
ed. Since that time it has become
general over the U. S. to hold
memorial exercises and to place
flowers on the graves of soldiers
whether they wore the blue or
whether they wore the gray. 1t is
beautiful and touching ceremony
and one which should be generally
observed.
In addition to the list of soldiers
published in the Democrat last
week we find that S. F. Wade serv-
ed in the Federal army and A. F.
UmStattd in the Mexican war.
There may be others now sleeping
in our cemeteries who have served
as soldiers. If you know of any
please let the Democrat know We
desire to have the list as complete
as possible. The U. D. C's decorat-
ed the graves of those who were
soldiers of the Confederacy. The
Odd Fellows decorated the graves
of deceased Odd Fellows and mem
berS of Odd Fellows families. Then
many graves were covered with
flowers by friends.
May the time speedily come when
the day will be more generally OBJ
served. Let us forget the faults and
frailtieS and remember the good
done by those who have gone
before. There is noOne so bad that
here is net some good in hIm and
none so good there is not some bad.
Then each one of us while living
should do all in his power to make
the world brighter and more pleas
ant. Cast a ray of sunshine when
ever possible to help some poor
struggler over the rough places. We
all feel better because of having
been the means of making the load
of some poor fellow lighter and be-
cause of having removed the rough
places in the path way of another
AS we pass this way but once let us
do what we can to make the world
better and some life happier. We
cannot know here how much good
a pleasant smile or kind act on our
part may do because all that is
done has an influence for good or
for evil throughout all the years yet
to come.
