ATTENTION FARMERS,
Each and every farmer in
Irwin county should be interested
enough in the Corn and Cott. r
Palrtf a*IGtzgeram, 2 Exposit ion w hjjjh wrint men
Cos next. Tuesday,
to send in some article of produce
from their farm. The contribution.
though small, will aid to some
extent in making the exposition a
great and grand success, the better
the showing that Irwin makes in
this display, the greater will be
the attraction for those from less
favord sections, to come and make
their hom3 in our midst. Let every
'one who has cotton, corn, potatoes,
cane, melons and frnits and vegat-
^--afileB of any kind, send them in
early, so that the managers will
have time to arrange them in the
most attractive manner, let your
shipments be consigned to Mr, M.
Buieoe, secretary of the expositiin.
JUDGE HILL ON THE WING
■O'
Mr. Editor : I am still in the
Coffee county part of the Brushy
Creek country, faring just as well
a a fellow could wish to fare.
Long cotton is fifteen or twenty
days • arlier in opening this year
on account of the very warm
weather. Joe $. Luke now has
over 200 pounds open to the acre.
The cotton crop will be gathered
by the first of October.
E. Vickers has on hand for sale
1200 pounds of lard, 150 sides of
bacon and 1000 bushels of corn—
he ig no candidate either. He says
if every man in Coffee coun'y
were to vote for him for the legis¬
lature, he would not serve when
elected.
The health of the country is very
good. Politics are very brisk in
Coffee.
I will hit the Berrien county
part of the Brushy Creek country
in a few days.
John Tucker says he will make ‘
ten bales of long cotton on fifteen
acres, and Joe E. Luke will make
about seven bales on the same
amount of land.

4 Buttermilk ”
One time an editor wuxed warm
and 6hot oil the following ;
“An exchange says that the
Guess Who business is getting to
be a “Dry scab” on the fao8 of
journalism, hut by noticing care¬
fully, we found that the columns
of that—smooth faced without
scabs—periodical were filled with
gushing love letters, from Diana
to the editor, and from the editor
to Diana. If that is not worse
than “Dry scabs” on the face of
j jurnalism, or any other ism, then
we are not a judge of what scabs
are.”
That is from the purile sanctum
of The Irwin OdlJXTY News.
1 The Guess Who is not practi*
ced except by unmarried editors of
short experience. Only two on
our exchange list are using it. The
other is a third party near the line
of Alabama,
2 Our young neighbor is no judge
of scabs; not being able to see the
wart on his nose,
3 His Guess Who’s show plainly
that he would go daft over a gush¬
ing letter from Piana or auyother
Aina.
I The correspondence referred to
is entirely original in this office.
The News man may get around to
it some time during the 20th
century.
o A mule should not kick out of
harness because he is guided,
ti We give our neighbor the name
of “Buttermilk” because he soured
and has been churned.
7 When our youug friend cools
off from this we will whisper to
him that it is a violation of the
oode of newspaper ethics to allow
one man to abuse another without
singing his real name.
“As many as I love, I tebuke
and chasten : be zealous therefore
and repent.”—Rev. 3, 19.
The above big gun was
ged by The Ashbarn Advance.
For the sake of convenience, we
have numbered our neighbor Sol¬
omon’s proverbs, and with a hope
of reforming him, will offer a few
thoughts as follows:
1 Butjlew up-to-date papers care
to exchange with him, hence the
reason is clear for his having but
two exchanges that run Guess
Who columns.
2 Wonder if our friend has not
yet learned tne difference between
scabs and warts. Webster says:
A scab is an incrustation over a
sire or wound, and that a wart is
a .-mall hard excre.-cence on the
skin. He should be excused
though ; poor fellow 1 he has had
a baid chance.
3 No, no Diana in ours if you
pibaee. We would not stoop to
that. And we would like to in¬
firm our observant friend that
such space-filling articles, whether
praoti ced by editors of long or
Short experience, disclose a greater
amount of effort than of newspaper
wit or wisdom.
4 “Original,” well, if our friend
has not the atility to originate
something better, he’d do well to
borrow from some of his better
informed neighbors. The News
man could reach it a great deal
nearer than the 2dth century, just
a email act of retrogression would
land him there,
5 Isn’t it absurd to even think of
being guided by ope who can’t see
fiis own way? Ofcourse we ’d
“kick out,” else we’d soon find
orr journalistic cart as badly
wrecked in the ditch of journal¬
ism as his.
6 "Buttermilk./’ well we have no
objections to the name, all we
hive to feel ashamed of is the
3>urce from whence we received it.
7 We Dope our neighbor will not
jump on us for violating the code
of newspaper ethics in failing to
s ng his real name, for we were
taught that it was wrong to sing
bad songs.
While our brother is gouging
the mote out of our eye, we ”1

A lady in Lexington gays; “I am out

RATHER STRANGE TO A
Fellow Up a Tree
It seems to us that there is som¬
ething strange about it, when a fel-
Ljw goes away from home to spe¬
nd the night, is made to sleep on
the floor, and awaking in the mor¬
ning. finds bo th feet tied fast to
a post, and a nuge heap of chairs
and other furniture piled over him,
but this is the predicament that
one of our clever candidates found
in last Wednesday morn-
.„g when he awok^His timidity
ofcourse got the advantage of him
and at breakfast, when liis host
would have him take some beef
steak, he gracefully (?) declined,
thanking him that he did not
love peas.

A CHANCE TO MAKE MONEY.
1 have berries, grapes mid peaches, a
year old, fresh as when picked. I use
the California Cold press, do not heat or
seal the fruit, just put it up cold, keeps
perfectly fresh, and costs almost nothing
can put up a bushel in toil minutes. Lasi
week I sold directions to over 120 fam¬
ilies; anyone will pay a dollar for direc¬
tions, when they see the beautiful sam¬
ples of fruit. As there me many peop)<-
yooy like myself, I consider it my duty
to give my experience to such, and feel
cuutlilont any one can make one or two
hundred dollars round home in a few
days. I will mail sample of fruit and
complete directions, to any of your rca-
dors, for eighteen two cent stamps,
which is only the actual cost of the sam¬
ples, postage, etc., to me.
