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.

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.” John G.
