Editor Dispatch :
Thinking you would like to hear
something from Dooly, I drop a few
lines.
The cholera is raging at a terrible
sate in this settlement at this time.
I have already lost about fifteen
head of hogs—some a year old and
Kmc about six month’s old. It is
still raging, and a great many of my
fteiglibars have lost nearly all their
hogs. a
Crops of corn look very
have a good color, and we are in
good spirits, thinking we will make a
plenty of corn if the seasons hold
out. Cotton is looking very fine,
and is fruiting well, but since the
rain, grass is looking fine also.
We have made the best crop of
oats that has been made since the
war. I understand that J. F. Leon
ard has made a very large crop of
the Irvin oats, and we think ho will
be able to supply a great many with
the seed.

The following communication ap
pears in the Meriwether County Vin
dicator :
I often hear complaints made that
the present homestead law is unjust
and oppressive, and that parties avail
themselves of its provisions who for
merly condemned the law. Perhaps
you are not aware that there is a
Baptist denomination in our county
that not only objects to this odious
law, but excludes all members who
take shelter from troublesome but
honest debts under its protection. I
allude to the Primitive Baptists, fre
quently called by way of derision
Hardshells. Hardshell in this case
is no misnomer, for they summons a
man to appear ac conference who
takes a homestead to show cause
why he should not be excluded from
the church for such conduct. If his
own church fails to deal with an
offender piomplly, some sister church
takes the case into consideration and
sends delegates to inquire why the
matter has been passed over. If
everybody would follow the course of
the Primitive Baptists homesteads
would soon play out. I often hear
people say that they don’t take the
homestead to keep from paying their
debts but only to keep their property
from being sacrificed, that they ex
pect to pay their debts just the same
as if the law did not release them
from payment, but I have not heard
of a solitary doing this and I
authorize you to send your paper for
life to the first one who does do it.
Some may have compromised their
debts, for a creditor will take any
thing a homestead debtor offers him,
but I don’t call this paying up.
When our people quit homesteading
and pay their debts, our country will
prosper, and not before. I think
public opinion is changing in regard
to this law, and hope it may be abol
ished or greatly reduced.
At the meeting of the National
Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, held
in Charleston, S. C., some time ago,
A. Scott’s pet scheme
of a Congressional subsidy for the
Southern Pacific Railroad received
indorsement. As an offset to this,
the Grangers of McLean county,
Illinois, held a meeting recently and
denounced the action of the National
Grange, declaring that they are not
'willing to be taxed to build railroads
not needed badly enough to enlist
private capital in their construction.
Mr. J. W. Hall, Sr., an old and
respectable citizen of B aldwin coun
ty, died on the 10th, at his late resi
dence. He was long a member of
the Methodist Church at Montpelier.
Millcdgeville was enlivened last
week by the excursion of the Second
Georgia Battalion from Macon.
Half the accidents in life might
be obviated, if whisky was avoided.
A snake-bitten negro in LaG range
was cured by whisky and a poultice
of onion and salt.
Abraham was the first sick man.
He had Hagar in the wilderness.
“Sam, Lave you drove in ’em ar

“Yes, sir.”
“Did you count ’em?”
“Yes, sir.”
“How many am thcr?”
“One.”

“•You would be very pretty, in

An Irishman was once in the very

MODERN MEETUP HOUSE.
Howdy, Davy t light an' hitch ; thar'i no
one him* but me ;
Thar aint a man livin’, sir, I’d sooner like
ter sec j
For Nance an' Liddy’s goue lo see a sick
man on the lull,
An' Hiram's gone to git his grist at Jason
Turner’s mill.
I was in town las’ Sunday, an' my heart
an’ me agreed
To go to meetin’—ef you’ll wait I’ll tell
you what I seed.
The bells wor tollin’ lively on the balmy
mornin’ air,
An’ folks wor in a burry, like the rusbin’
to a fair.
The meetin’ bouse was built ov stone, the
steeple pinted high,
The winders they wor painted all the col
ors ov the sky;
An’ rumiin’ up the steeple was a great
long lightnin’ rod—
I kinder thought the members lacked con
fidence in God.
The big bell sorter hushed bitsclf, and
then bit rung some more,
An' people cum in carriages an’ got out at
the door;
Tiic wimmin fixed tbar dresses like they
meant to make a call,
Thar faces showed they warn’t a thinkin’
ov their souls at all.
Well, Davy, thar I stood an’ thought—
’twas wicked, I suppose—
Some go to church to close thar eyes, an’
some to eye thar close;
I overheard ole Missus Swell to Missus
Stebbius say,
“My darter Becky’s dress war’ut done—
lie here to-day.”
I stood tlmr hesitatin’ like what sort ov
move to make;
I felt that I should go inside for my salva
tion’s sako;
I starled meekly in the house ; t knew it
warn’t no harm,
With my old broad-brim hat in ban’ an’
jeans coat on ray arm.
% > \ f I'l f I j
I went along, ’bout half-way up the velvet
carpet ile,
The men an’ wimmin shut thar gates, an’
they begin to smilo;
X seed one open just a bit; went in an’
pulled it to,
When Brown, the banker, rlz an’ said,
!‘This ere’s a rented pew."
. I
I got out ov his "rented pew" an’ sot down
near the door,
Expectin' for some man ter say, “This
ere’s a rented floor.”
A fine-dressed stranger—he cum In—the
members didn’t wait,
But every feller jumped at hi m an’ opened
wide his gate.
The parson riz an’ raised his ban's, with
cold an’ haughty air.
An’ everybody in the house stood up an'
heard his prayer.
I don’t know how it is witli them—some
how I always feel
I’m doin’ God injustice when I get too
proud to kneel.
Then all sot down an’ stared about; then
at the parson’s lace,
While he put on his specs and said, “Let’s
sing Amazin’ Grace.”
An organ busted looso up stairs—the
music it was j^vy.
Hit tickled them as couldn’t sing, an’
them wot had to pay.
The music quit, the parson riz—they
passed the hats ronn’ next,
An’ when the deekins sot them down—
the parson tuck his text.
He preached about two hours ’bout the
Faith in God to keep;
The wimmin folks were noddin’ while
thar husbands wor asleep.
One gal sed to another, “Have you seen
my beau to-day ?”
She’d nod her head an’ then say back,
‘•The party hit was gay.”
One whispered loud enough behind her
fan for me to hear,
“That bonnet Sufy Tag’s got on is one she
had last year.”
The parson quit and then sot down—the
organ played agiu,
I thought that ef that was servin’ God, the
tunes they played was thin ;
I’ve beam the bauds at circuses jest play
the sell-same air.
The parson, w hen the orgin quit, dismiss
ed them all with prayer.
Now, Davy, cf the angels seed what I did,
I believe,
Thar warn’t a one, among ’em all, but
what lnfied in thar sleeve;
For God don’t smile on Christians who
his blessln’s will abuse ;
He haiut no use fur orgins, an’ he don’t
like rented pews.
He rings no bells to tell ’em that the Sab
bath’s come once more;
The angels have no carriages to drive up
to LI is door.
Such Christians might as well look up to
God, an’ sweetly smile
An’ say, “I send my soul, dear Lord ; I’m
earnin’ arter a while.”
Our Master up in Heaven, Davy, sees—
hears everything.
He likes to see His children kneel—an’
loves to hear ’em sing;
For wnar lie lives the angels sing an’
Christians git their dues,
His music costs Him nothin’, and he has
no rented pews.
Thar ain’t no use o’ fooliu’ long the road
down to the grave ;
Thar is no way o’ dodgin’ when you’ve
got ver soul to save.
Fine churches, orgins. carriages, clothes,
rented pews, an’ “pelf,”
Don't count that day — it layi bctvten yor

Fix Up My Liver.
An English physician recently re
moved a section of a patient’s liver,
placed it on a plate, scraped it care
fully, and returned it to its place,
fully returned to its normal action.
This promises to work a revolution
in the treatment of the disease, and
in a few years we will have an addi
tion to domestic literature something
like this: “Husband, I wish you
would take John’s right lung down
to the doctor this morning and have
the middle valve fixed,” or “Will,
you step into the doctor’s wh en you
come home this noon and sec if he
has Mary’s liver mended, as she
wants to go out to tea this evening?”
The.practice will become so common
in time, we are sure, that none of
the neighbors will be in any way
startled to see a wife with a veil
tied over her head leaning out of a
bed-room window and shouting to a
receding husband: “Joreraiah, tell
Dr. Scrapen to send up Willie’s right
kidney at once, whether it Is dono or
not. He’s had it more than a week,
and the child might as well be with
out any kidnev, and be done with
it.”
Mr. Sam Barron, of Jones oounty,
made 80 bushels of oats on one acre.
His plan is to fertilize well, and sow
three bushels to the acre.
