Official Organ Irwin County, VOL. III. 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. IfflWHif iiwfl 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. YOU WILL BE WORTH 25 T0 50 PER CENT More If You do Your Trading with, the New yort Bargain Store. T. GOTTLIEB! Proprietor, OCILLA, <3A.

OCILLA, IRWIN COUNTY, GA., FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 1399. printers who work below a living profit are of but few days and wind uj> with the sheriff. Envy not your neighbors good fortune, but strive, in a manly wav, to improve your own. The freeze Tuesday nigh! was hard enough to cause the ground to “spew” in damp places. Pap’s letters are always nev sy and sparkling, and they come every week. Thank you, Pap. 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. The cases pending in County covijt in which Judge J. B. Clements is disqualified, will not pe tried at the next term of court. A Florida lady wants to know where the proprietors of the Dis¬ patch got their tan. Why, in the tan yard, of course! Aye, many a tear was shed 31 what the jirofesser said; they were tears of laughter, nor came till after the fun was broadcast spread. Dr. W. L. Wilkinson, a promi¬ nent citizen of Quitman, Ga., died last Saturday of eonjestion of the brain. His death is greatly lamented. Mrs. W. E. Porter, of Chicago, is traveling through Georgia, writing up,the country as she sees it. Mrs.: Porter is an aged lady, highly con neeted, and is devoting her talents, time and means to a good purpose, 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. Pianos, organs and sewing ma¬ chines, for sale by Carter <fc Dor ough, Tifton and Oeilla, Ga. it Ask L. A. Hunter and Tommy Whitley how they like eggs boiled in an oyster can. But don’t tell them we said a word about it. Even a gin house may have ears. Tax fi. fas. and other legal adver¬ tising curtails reading matter this week, and will do so for a few months to come. Two or three hun¬ dred fi. fas. are yet-to be published. Our young friend, Mr. J. T. Young, knows how to cure as well as procure bacon. The best mid¬ dling of meat we have bought in a long time came from his smoke¬ house'. — Miss Libbie Hancock, the grace¬ ful and accomplished teacher of the music department of the Oeilla High School, visited her brother in Ab¬ beville Saturday, returning Sunday evening. It was reported a few weeks ago that the Ensign-Oskarnp Co.,- had purchased the mill plant of the Cum¬ mings Bros. The report was incor¬ rect, and the Cummings Bros, still own one of the best saw mills in the state.. Mies Rosa Gottlieb, the handsome daughter of Mr. T. Gottlieb, of Ab¬ beville, visited friends in Oeilla Sunday, returning home in the even¬ ing. Miss Rosa . is quite popular here, and her young friends are always glad to see her. Dr. W. G. Ford, son of our old friend, Hon. G. G. Ford, of Worth county, has located in Oeilla and has opened up his dental parlors up stairs in the brick building. The Dispatch welcomes him to Oeilla and wishes for him that success his 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 flourish. But we will have - to ad¬ 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 five miles north of town. Farmers are busy preparing for spring planting in this section. Feb. 28. Mr. Mack Paulk and family pass¬ ed through here Friday en route to their new home near llarding. ’Tin with regret tiiat we sec Mack leav¬ ing this community. Mr. Taylor is suffering with heart trouble. Be cheerful, young man, and remember that “it is a long lane which never turns.” That young lady will return one of these days. Mrs. S. M. Clyatt was a pleasant visitor here Wednesday last. Ask Mr. Bush what to do with Irish potatoes when you wish to hide them. Miss Hattie Bush, one of our most charming young ladies, left last Friday, to he away a month, visit¬ ing relatives in, Chauncey and other places. Lost, strayed or stolen: A young i man, medium height about 150 pounds, dark hair and dark eyes. Was last seen Sunday morning about 5 o’clock, riding a black horse in the direction of Sycamore. Finder will be liberally rewarded by the young ladies of Waterloo. [Our corn remedy must have been 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. Official Organ Irwin County. NO. 34. WATT & HOLMES HARDWARE GO. FITZGERALD, GA, ’VIST .
