Douglas Breeze. s— — J. M. FREEMAN & DAUGHTERS, Proprietors. J. M. Freeman and A. C. Sweat, Editors. Entered os Second-Class Mail Matter. SATURDAY, APRIL I, 1899. The war in the Phillipines in be coming serious. Atlanta is getting up a Jefferson din ner, without the Bryan and Belmont fixments. A peculiarity of the Spanish people is that none of their hoy babies born this year aie being named I>ewey. An actress up north shot herself last week and fell, exclaming ‘“tis love that kills,” dying, before the fool killer could get in the last lick. Summer has come, and ice cream i getting in its work. A whole lami ly, including the cook were poisoned by eating it at Hawkinsville, last week. Bishop Turner, a negro, in a speech at Thomasville, Ga., last week, said negroes should not take up arms for this country. If this is true they should not live here either. A man over in Kausas recently kill ed five of his children fjecjipsi; lm. liurt ~ii upviflTel with his wife. The lynchers in that district seem to be neglecting their business, for he still lives. The announcement is made that Huwance Springs, Fla. are in full blast. That may be so, but Baskin's Spring up in Coffee can beat 'em as a health resort and let ’em shuffle the cards. Bryan and Belmont are using some salty terms of expression in regard to each other’s Democracy. Belmont says Bryan is a populist and Bryan says Belmont is not a good democrat. The Queen Regent is said to have seized some newspapers in Spain last week because they published a rumor of her intended marriage. Perhaps her auger was because the rumors were not true. Old John Sherin in was reported dead last week but it was a mistake. We did not grieve when Horace Gree ley died, nor will we when John Sher man is dead. He has no love for Southern people. Twenty-three negroes with a leader, organized for a race war near Texarka na, Ark., last week, with a determina tion to kill out the whites. Siuce the oganization dead negroes have been found all over the woods. And now Atlanta wants a summer encampment of the regular army, with good prospects of getting it. Some of her citizens have been to Washington to see the Secretary about letting the soldiers stay at her house awhile. The Georgia Fruit Grower’s Associa tion met in Macon last week to deter mine how bad the fruit crop had been injured. They concluded that the crop would bring us over until persitn moos and possums were ripe. Allah be praised, the country is safe! Atlanta wants old Tom Reed to come up there and lecture, and is in the dumps because he doesn’t do so^ every" ■Mfuian that comes along, black or white. Tom Reed is no friend to Georgia, nor to any* one else except trusts and republicans. Revenue officers in Putman county arresfbd Mrs. Walker, a well known woman of that county, and three grown daughters last week, for run ning a whiskey still without license. The still was in full blast, and the ladies had on hand about, one thous and gallons of genuine tangle-foot. They will bo tried. An old bachelor bought a pair of socks and found attached to one of them a slip of paper with these words: **l am a young’lady of twenty and would like to correspond with a bach elor with a view to matrimony.” and address were given. The bachelor wrote, aud in a few days got this letter: “Mama was married twenty years ago. The merchant you bought those socks from evident ly did not advertise, or he would have sold them long ago. Mama handed me your letter and said possibly I might suit you. lam eighteen years Old.” A Low Down Swindle The man, woman, child or liotten tot that will ask a newspaper man to send him, she, they or it his paper and then after it has been sent sever al years or months, taken out of the office by the one to whom addressed, he, she, they or it refus.-s to pay for said paper, telling the postmaster they don’t want it, shows a desire on their part to swindle, and in the eyes of law and justice are just as guilty as a newspaper man would he if he should order a bushel of potatoes sent to him from a farmer’s barn every month for a year, and then after he had gotten and used the potatoes refuse to pay for them. If one is a swindle both are swindles, and the Jury says so. Sunday School Convention. Owing to the fact that the 27th District Sunday School Association will hold its Convention at Dupont, Ga., on the 3rd Sunday and Saturday before in April, the time selected for our county Convention also, we have thought proper and correct to change the time for holding the Coffee Coun ty Sunday School Convention to the first Sunday in May and Friday and Saturday before. The Convention will convene at Gaskin’s Spring Camp Ground on Friday night, continuing, its sesions there, until Saturday night, and will adjourn to meet at the Meth odist church at Douglas on Sunday morning. Progrunis will be issued in tritrw days. Red headed Girls Mr. D. B. English, of Waycross, has an advertisement in to-day’s paper, aud he has one also in the Self-Reli ance, published in Waycross. The contract with the two papers is that the editors shall write each other’s advertisements. The editor of Self- Reliance will write one for us, and we will write one for that paper. Ours in this week’s Reliance will be about red headed girls, and the one in the Breeze is about D. B. English’s stock of Millinery, Dress Goods, Ribbons and everything else humanity wants. Complaints have been made to us this week from several sources, that our paper failed to reach its des tination before the week after its pub lication. We are very sorry our ar rangements to have the paper out re gularly on time have failed, hut think wc can and will find and apply the remedy before a great while. It is hard to get out of the old ruts, hut she must come on time. A Man Lost his way recently looking for Dan B. English’s Mammoth Store. He wanted to secure some of the rare bargains always to be found there.
