FITZGERALD, : GEORGIA.
COUNTY NEWS.
Muttering* From Irwinville.
Dispatch.
Irwinville has been n county seat
about 05 or 70 years.
Three of Fitzgerald’s finest carpen-
are locked erecting up in jail here to-day.
They are the gallows on
which Nesbitt will he hung.
To build the hotel extension and
make the improvements at the Clem¬
null. Contractor Kimbalf’s car-
penters are looming up here again in
Thos. Griffin, T. & A. E. express
agent at Fitzgerald, spent last Satur¬
day night at Jo Fletchers here em¬
bowered by a bevy of charming young
ladies.
The scientific survey has been com¬
for the beautifully situated cro¬
ground on the campus at the
west side of the court house, where
the county officials can exercise their
muscles. Not being barbarians they
are disinclined to play foot ball.
The civil business of the superior
is increasing considerably.
was a good deal more business
transacted last term than the preced¬
ing one. Since court adjourned, up to
last Saturday p. m., one certiorai pa¬
per had been filed; also petition for
incorporation for telephone service at
Fitzgerald.
Through courtesy of Deputy Ile-
corder J. II. Buchanan we learn semi¬
officially that there has been fifty-five
transfers of real estate scattered all
over Irwin county during the past
month, and there has also been re¬
corded forty-eight transfers of colony
land.
It is on the ambiant air that a ven¬
erable and prominent citizen of this
section went to Fitzgerald, Tuesday,
escorting some young ladies who wit¬
nessed the circus. When he came
out, friends expressed astonishment
he had gone in as he is a strict church
member. And then he explained he
got jammed in the crowd and was car¬
ried in against his will. And adds,
now, he don’t regard a circus perform¬
ance quite as wicked as it is repre¬
sented to be by moral dyspeptics.
The number of persons, strangers,
who go out weekly a mile and a half
from here, near a little branch, to see
the stump where Jeff Davis was cap¬
tured, is quite considerable. They
come mostly from the direction of
Fitzgerald. The ground around the
stump is quite worn with the constant
tramp, tramp of visitors.
The hanging of Nesbitt will cost
about §60. The sheriff’s fee is §10;
the doctors get nothing; the guards
are paid under the law; the body be¬
longs to some medical college if no
friends claim it, but if not so claimed
will be buried here at once.
Carrie Smith, the obstrepersus
woman sent over from Fitzgerald far
endeavoring to dis-ereet the city
prison, confined in the county jail here
now, has a history. She says she is
only 19 years' of age; that she has
been all over several southern states;
that her home is in Macon; that her
mother lives at Alamo in Montgom¬
ery county; and that she is married,
but has not seen her husband for two
years, ns he got into a fracas and had
to skip. Last Saturday she revived
from her feigned sickness and favored
the whole neighborhood with continu¬
ous hollowing, showing that her lungs
are in excellent order. Her appetite
is good and she has a highly cultivated
taste for snuff.
From Ocilla comes the information
that Micajah Tucker, aged about I I
years, died last Thursday night of gen¬
eral debility. The remains were in¬
terred in the family burying ground.
He was a remarkable man in a num¬
ber of estimable ways. He was a very
good man and a good Mason. He had
been married twice and leaves seven¬
teen children living, two dead,making
eighteen heirs inclusive of his last
wife. He was a member of the Prim¬
itive Baptist church, and connected
with the Hebron church in Coffey
county. Ills deatli is regretted by
everybody.
The jail here was completed seven
years ago last June. There has been
as high as eighteen prisoners in there
at one time, but then it was quite
crowded. In fact it ought to be en¬
larged, by the addition of at least two
more cells to the criminal part. The
stockade is fifteen feet high. The
gallows will be erected within an in¬
closure which will be within the stock¬
ade. The hanging will be carefully
secluded from the public eye. The
order of the court is that the hanging
shall be private. The sheriff is to
]i;tve a sufficiency Of guards present,
Also present as many relatives and
friends as he desires, and the county
officials. The gallows ® will he Oil the
ground northeast , of the prison build- ,
jng. There will be two physicians
present officially, Dr. J. C. Luke, of
Ocilla, and Dr. W. L. Julian, of Ir¬
winville.
Ordinary Lee, Monday, married Ot¬
to Heintz and Miss Carrie Vann right
off before the license got cold. Those
northern people from Fitzgerald are
certainly hustlers. J. M. Edwards
and Miss Rufie Douglas, six miles
northwest of here, were married last
Sunday by Ordinary Lee at the resi¬
dence of Wm. Rogers. James John¬
son and wife (nee Miss Pollie Taylor)
stood up with them. Kano Goff, nine
miles southwest of here, and Miss
Minnie McMims, got out their mar¬
riage license last Saturday. James S.
Johnson and Miss Pollie Taylor were
married last Sunday at the residence
of the bride’s parents, seven miles
from here on the Hawkinsville road.
The ceremony was performed by Par-
siTn D. W. Tavlor.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
A heavy frost this morning.
Sportsmen are having an enjoyable
time shooting birds.
’Several of our citizens attended
Worth superior court last week.
Postmaster Smith, who has been
quite sick for several days, is again
able to be out.
Tax Collector J. R. Paulk was here
the 2d inst. on his last round collect¬
ing taxes.
Several line mules were purchased
last week by our farmers from a mule
drover passing through here.
Little Mary E., the three-year-old
child of Mr. Jacob Z. Paulk, living
seven miles south of here, died last
Sunday morning, and was buried at
Pleasant Hill cemetery Sunday even¬
ing.
Late yesterday evening Dr. S. A.
Thorton, a yenerable old citizen of
this town, breathed his last. Dr.
Thornton moved to this place several
years ago from Terrell comity, and
since his removal here has been en¬
gaged in the dental and mercantile
business, until a few weeks ago fail¬
ing health compelled him to give up
his business. In his death the com¬
munity loses an upright and honora¬
ble citizen.
THE DANGER
to which the Expectant Mother is
exposed and the foreboding and
dread with which she looks for¬
ward to the hour of woman’s
severest trial is appreciated by but
few. All effort should be made
to life’s smooth these rugged places
in pathway for her, ere she
presses to her bosom her babe.
MOTHER'S FRIEND
allays Nervousness, and so assists
Nature that the change goes for¬
ward in an easy manner, without
such Violent protest in the way of
Nausea, Headache, Etc. Gloomy
forebodings yield to cheerful and
hopeful anticipations—she quickly passes and
through without the ordeal and
pain—is left strong
vigorous and enabled to joyously
perform the high and holy duties
now life devolved upon assured her. Safety
to of both is by the
use of “ Mother’s Friend,” and
the time of recovery shortened.
“I know one lady, the mother of three
children, who suffered greatly in the
birth of each, who obtained a bottle of
‘Mother’s Friend’ of me before her
fourth confinement, and was relieved
quickly and easily. All agree that their
labor was shorter and less painful.”
