OCILLA, IRWIN COUNTY, GA., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1899.
AUNT SOFRQNY SAYS
That if a b’iled shirt, an ear
seraping collar and a lofty air made
a lofty man, her beau could easily
blow his proboscis among ^the stars
and use a cloud for a ’kerchief.
That a home without a husband
is merely an eating and keeping
place, but some men are so. triflin’
she’s—well, there’s no telling.
That it nearly tickles her to death
to watch a girl try to play the agree¬
able to her first beau. Oh, it’s aw¬
ful funny!
That she does not think a baby
show should be postponed on any ac¬
count, as she hears was done in this
town lately. It is a reflection ou
the town and may get people to
calling it a snag.
That when an editor at Tifton in¬
sinuates that she did not tell the
gospel truth about her Christmas
frolics, he places himself on a plane
little above that of a congressman
and shows very clearly that he has
a woowoo heart.
That she hopes by mutton corn
time, or sooner, most of the widow¬
ers in Ocilla will have paired off or
gone to glory, as she is tired listen¬
ing to their "sighs and looking at
their I’d-like-to-marry maneuvers.
Religious Notice.

last Sunday afternoon, after a brief
illness. The remains were interred
Monday at the family burial ground.
Mrs. Tomberlin was a devoted
wife and mother, a good, kind
neighbor, and in every relation of
life she bore her part well, She
leaves a husband, two children and
many other relatives and friends to
mourn her death.
Mr. Dike Branch, so we hear, is
about to start a paper at Zealand,
near Pine Log river, in this county,
for the purpose of trying to secure
a railroad and other necessaries of
life for that city. Ile has already
purchased a quart of writing ink, a
half barrel of wooden shoe pegs, six
writing pads and a horse-pistol. He
thinks people would rather sub¬
scribe for his paper than die. The
new paper will be named “The
Crack >of Doom,”'and will be ably
edited.
Mr. B. J. Reid is receiving the

postponement.
