GOOD AND BAD TIMES.
T =a
If every one dealt on the cash basis
like We do. bad times would
never be heard of in the
Clothing, Dry Goods, Shoes and Hat Trade.
Men and Women spend as much
money for merchandise one ear
as another. We can see no dif¬
ference.

si Here’s Our m . Tv
We buy for ready money every time. The cash system is
up-to-date. When we buy goods we don’t have to pay
something extra to cover the manufacturers’ bad accounts.
Often we get goods below cost, simply by the magic pom
of ready money. ’They have learned to know us, that we
always have the money, and never ask for time. Frequent¬
ly we arc able to sell cheaper and make a profit. We new
sell at a loss. We don’t have to do so. And yet ovn
prices are lower than those who do sell at a loss. r J in
CASH system explains it all.
This Isn’t Bragging It’s TH6 Troth.

The matrimonial market in Ocjlla
is flat. Even Aunt Sofrony has
little to say—for a wonder. j
If it’s all the same to Mr. Hicks,
we'll excuse him from predicting
any more cold waves this year.
The merchants of Oeilla want to
swap goods for cash, and now is the
time to strike them for rare bar¬
gains.
The Dispatch continues to quietly
gnaw its bone, notwithstanding it
hears an occasional growl from some
boneless quarter.

AUNT SOFKONY SAYS
That it takes only two folks to
make a match, but lots of people
seem to think it takes at least half a
dozen.
That she doesn’t claim to be very
religious, but she’s enough that way
not to want to marry a man who
uses profane language and hair dye.
That Nature is one of the most
careful providers in the wide world.
For instance, to large men she gives
great spreading feet. For proof of
this, cull at brick store.
That she hates to see courting go¬
ing on at public entertainments, to
the annoyance of those who are not
courting. Spoony couples ought to
make a note of this.
That she saw a mighty handsome
young man from Wilcox county at
church in Oeilla Sunday night, lie
was with a handsomer young lady,
and it would not surprise her if —
well, time will tell.
That she especially likes cheerful
people. The arc dispellers of gloom,
decreasars of sorrow and enliveners
of those around them. Without
them this world would be gruesome,
if not actually ghoulish.
That she has no patience with peo¬
ple who are everlastingly finding
fault with something or somebody.
Only the other morning she heard a
Object raising cane just because he
happened to drink in a fly with his
coffee. A little thing like that
wouldn’t kill him. Suppose it had
been an elephant?
That it is all very well to talk of
“the music of the spheres,” which
iB not comeatible, but as for her,
she is satisfied with the kind she
heard at the Methodist church Sun¬
day night. “Music hath charms
to soothe the savage breast,’’ and
she hopes all the sav—well, those
who were not coughing did look
soothed.
Tuesday was sheriff’s sales day at
Invinville, and a good deal of prop¬
erty changed hands.

It was reported a few weeks ago

state..
Mies Rosa Gottlieb, the handsome

high attainments in dentistry entitle
to.
Waterloo Wavelets.
Miss Susie Clements, after a
pleasant visit among relatives in this
place, returned to her home near
Sycamore Sunday. Waterloo has
no charms for a certain young man
since her departure.
We learn that Mr. T. Y. Fletcher
is suffering very much with a sore
hand.
The grippe is gripping some of
us at present, Mrs. Sophia Voting
seems to be suffering more than any¬
one else, but she is convalescing.
Our Sunday school continues to

vertise for the secretary as “lost,
strayed or stolen,” unless a certain
young lady returns to Waterloo.
Mr. James Fletcher is erecting for
himself a handsome dwelling about

O K. Ed.]
Mr. J. H. Young visited Oeilla
last week. As he was returning
home he ran against a wagon with
bis buggy and the result was, he
had to borrow a saddle to get home.
His buggy was left a complete wreck
on the road.
Two of Waterloo’s best citizens
happened to a serious accident last
Monday. All we could get out of
them when they returned was this
sentence: “Barrel (hie!), glass (hie),
corn (hie!) beer (hie!!!). Guess they
had been on a fishing tour.
Mr. G. W. Hyman, of Irwinville,
was a pleasant visitor at Mr. Julius
McWhite’s Sunday last.
Got Mr. George Conoly to tell
you all about the mule with Avhieh
he had to contend last Saturday and
how he managed to bring it to a
‘•‘stand-still” when a representative
of the Disjtatch appeared on the
scene. Better keep a bottle of spir
its of camphor in your pocket, Mr®
Conoly.
A certain young lady “got left”
Sunday, and she can’t imagine why.
Mar. 0. Pap.
You can buy an organ or sewing
machine cheaper from Carter &
Dorough, than from the old time
high-priced fellows. All standard
makes too. See them at Oeilla. It
When Prof. Lane opened up on
the subject of large feet, a promi¬
nent citizen who sat near us became
fidgetty and tried to move his feet
to one side, but there wasn’t room.
It would be no trouble to him to
“die in his tracks.”
Mr. C. T. Cofield, the photogra¬
pher, who has been in Oeilla several
months wiih his tent, leaves Tues¬
day for Tifton. He is a clever
young man and made a number of j
friends here, who will be glad to see;
return any time.
