Irwin County Courier —Sheriff
W. W. Southerland, of Douglas,
one of the best sheriffs in the state,
and one of the only two democrats
elected last election in Coffee coun
ty, was over last Saturday and
carried back a prisoner.
J. E. Wltidby, convicted of in
cestous adultery, his own daughter
being the victim, in Irwin Superior
court last week, is in the Coffee
county jail. He ought to have
been allowed to stay in Irwin coun
ty jail and rotted. The blackest

|udge Crovat, resigned. Mr Isaac
is now the youngest Bulge in
Georgia, as well as one ol the best
lawyers. The Breeze tenders
congratulations to the Jude.
Backward or retrospective glan
ces are sometimes very amusing,
interesting and instructive, and to
this end, for the benefit of our read
ers, we shall soon commence pub
lishing week by week events and
circumstances, deaths, marriages,
Ac., that were told in the Breeze
columns of years ago This will
be refreshing to memories, instruc
tive to new comers, and enlighten
ing to the young people who could
not read when the incidents trans
pired. Br these retrospective
glances will be chronicled the
editorial work of Pat Smith, C. A.
Ward, Jr., Sapp and Greer,
Quincey and McDonald, Albert
Sweat and others. It will be like
rolling back the curtain and taking
a glance at the past, when you
were younger, perhaps a young
man or lady, having a fine old time
courting or llirting.

A Card of Thanks.
We desire to return our sincere
thanks to the good people Douglas
for the kinhness shown us during
the sickness and death of our dear
wifes and mother, and especially
for the comforting words and as
sistance rendered by loving hands
and hearts in this hour of our great
bereavement. We can never for
get those tokens of Christian friend
ship, and we pray heaven, choicest
blessings on all who have shown us
kindness in our afflictions.
B. F. Duncan and Children.
Fine Photograph Work.
The crops are nearly all made
now, and the people are beginning
to see the fruits of their labor, but
if an absent one is missed from the
family circle, it is a consolation to
have his or tier picture on the wall
or in the album. If you have them
not it is a source of mortification
and regret —the living are with you,
the dead are forgott en. Avoid this
intense sadness and have DuVall to
make pictures of your children,
husbands and wives. Work guar
anteed. Prices reasonable.
Death of Mrs James Elliott-

but a complication of diseases baffled

Horse Swappers Convention-
Extensive preparations are being
made for an immense convention
of Horse Swappers, to be held in
the city of Fitzgerald, Friday and
Saturday, October 9th and 10th
The affair promises to be one of
the most unique and interesting
gatherings of trading men and
licrse lovers ever held in that city.
The newly equipped base ball park
will be used as an exhibition ground
on account of being strongly
fenced, as this will reduce the like
lihood of accidents to the minimum.
The grand stand will furnish seats
for spectators, as there will doubt
less be many sightseers besides
those who are directly interested
in the trading.
The object of the convention is
to bring ,together all owners of
horses and mdles, who want to
swap, sell or make any kind of
trade. The affair promises to be
very entertaining for those who ar-'
interested in the matter of trading
or seHing animals, as it is the inte||J
tion otr<*tl>e promoters to have]
horses, piules and ponies brought!
here from several adjoining coun-j
ties, including Wilcox, Berrien and!
Coffee. For further

Two Car Loads of Horsees and Mules.
We received a letter from Messrs
Petterson and I.ott last week, from
Texas announcing that they would
arrive within a few days with two
car—loads of herses and mules, for
the farmers and citizens of this
section. Taping the market early
they are quite certain to have got
ten some bargains.
Steel Wire Fencing-
Several gentlemen from the
country were in to see us this week
and talk fence talk. It is getting
out now that we sell the best fence
on earth for the least money. We
have in hand now orders fot*several
miles and will soon send in an
order. If you need any fencing
let us know at once, as "car load
lots save freight.

flour, and is as good for cake and
pastry as light rolls and biscuit.

YOUR UNCLE WASH.
Is Tickled Over the Prospects of Coffee County
And Gives His Reasons.
Mr Editor. —It is very gratifying to notice the spirit of enterprise
and advaucement that pervades our atmosphere. The unanimous vote
of our people last Saturday for bonds> for the purpose Oi lighting
town—and giving us pure water, is a strong pointer, that we are troly
living in a community of wideawake and advancing people. Light
and water will do more to put our town to the fore front—and mam
tain its reputation of enterprise than anything else, it enhances in
value every piece of Douglas property, and when that is done every
foot of land in our good county of Coffee is enhanced. It takes unity
of purpose to make any thing great. In union there is strengtn with
out it there is no strength or certainly.
For our town or county to be what it should be our people must be
together. The town cannot exist without the county, when the .o-vvn
advances it carries advancement to the uttermost part of the counity.
Jt is pleasing to note the lack of autogonism. between our town ana
country, as is so often, nay, too often found, to the detirimf nt of all.
We have the best town and county in the whole country and all should
harmonize —and pull to gether to make it better and greater, and
we will. Things are opening up, and with little oetter freignt rates
we will soon hear the rumble and hum of mumerous factories, and the
establishment of wholesale businesses will soon oe a part of our town.
It is very pleasant to note the farming success of our county. Mr.
B. H. Tanner will have gathered on his farm between 8.000 and
10,000 bushels of corn. Mr J. M. Ashley will make 1200 bushels „of
corn on 40 acres. Nlr. Jas Nlclvinnon has a number of acres that will
average between 25 and 35 bushels per acre. This representing three
different and distinct sections of our county, with full crops of all kinds
all over it, should be a pointer, that wherever located in Coffee county,
one can have an ideal and profitaiffe farm. There are numbers of
fine farms in our county, and with the spirit of enterprise deepenning
and widening both in town and county it will only be a very short
time when thousands of acres of pine lands, now uncultivated will hear
the song of the plowman, and will be responding with bountiful crops.
We must foster the spirit of harmony, unity, and enterprise and the
results will be satisfactory and pleasing.
Very Truly,
B Uncle Wash.
