Have you seen any blue-birds since the freeze? The bank of Ocilla is a solid, re¬ liable institution. It is not so very long till sheep, for shears will pant. You will find bargains in Ocilla six days in the week. The Ocilla High School is making ij rapid strides forward. We regret to learn that Mr. Dike ! Branch is on the sick list. Talk always was cheap, bnt fools will never learn this fact. Capt. and Mrs. M. Henderson visited Fitzgerald Tuesday. If you have any news, bring it straight to the Dispatch office. • Work for the present, but keep one eye squarely on the future. It is always best to keep your tempen Nobody wants it at any price. Mr* G. O) Iiournelle, of Eastman, is visiting Mr. P. O. Campbell, of Ocilla. THE O' I I t .A SPATd 9 OCILBA, IRWIN COUNTY, GA., FRIDAY, MARCH 17, 1899) hlrs. A. E. Hobbs’ geraniums bloomed right along through the blizzard. Mr. Wm. Harris is putting an awning in front of his nev “tore on Fourth street. Let every person in Ocilla remem¬ ber that a good word for their town costs nothing. ( Miss Emma Paulk and Mr. ,M. J. Paulk will visit relatives in and near Alapaha Sunday. Ocilla needs electric lights and waterworks, and she’ll have them one of these days. Wells that have been, full for sev- erallmonths should have the water drawn from them. Tile Dispatch is proud of its corps of correspondents, and thanks them all for their favors. The street committee should try its hand on that eastern road this side of the branch. The fruit of the hen is again get- i ting plentiful, and twenty-five cents will move two dozen. ■ The people in this section of the universe are rapidly becoming heart- hungry for a pot of greens. Mr. R. D. Gowan is out again, after a tussle with the grippolMlIe has reached the second stage. The spirit of mortal shouldKBwr ■’tweeil be pfqtid, for the time is but ^Bn’t the cradle and shroud. ■ See professional card of Dr.l^K.. Ford in this issue, and when iuHB of first-class dental work, caB| Tim. ;f® At its meeting Tuesday nigliBHu’ Own .Council passed an ordinBB’e against riding bicycles on the SB walks, . ’ f: Last year Mr. George Tu^Bu- fol grew a stalk of corn which about l wo feet from the groulfdj d each stalk bore a good ear of i| dnd sported a stylish tassel. AUNT SOFRONY SAYS That she has no enemies worth talking about. That she knows she’s n lineal de¬ scendant of Adam and Eve, but does not feel puffed up on that ac- count. That she knows wealth and hap¬ piness never go hand in hand, and that is one reason why she never craved wealth. That she knows one sensible girl (there may be others) in this world - one who is not only sensible, but good and smart and pretty, and she says she would not marry a man she did not love for the world and all there is in it, but would marry a poor man if she loved him and help him to accumulate wealth. That is the kind of woman for a sensible man to go into life copartnership with. That she’s on a quandary whether to buy a new spring Ii.it or rejuven¬ ate her old one. It is true, times are no harder than usual, and there is no good reason why she should stint herself here and there just to save money, which every one knows is dross and liable to canker or fly away; but she can’t decide. Since Dan went down to Coffee last be wears another kind of a smile, and she don’t know what it means. Until she finds out, the new hat may g°> if it takes all summer. That she has never seen any one plant thistles and gather roses, or deal ont frowns and gather smiles in return. As we sow, so shall we reap. Two little sparrows were about to die from cold and hunger. A ten¬ der-hearted young lady took them in and wanned and fed them. One lived, and when the terrible freeze was over and the glad sunsbnifj again bathed, the earth in a sea of golden light, the fair hand that res¬ cued the little bird gave it its liberty. “As you do unto the least of my creatures, so shall it be done unto you.” The best thing in spring dress goods is—a handsome young lady. This may not be original, but it is true. Dennis Tucker, son of Mr. Geo. Tucker, who lias been helpless for some time with rheumatism, is im¬ proving. We are glad to state that the in¬ fant child of Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Gowan is improving, after a severe spell of sickness. Mr. Bill Clements and Mr. W ebb, of the western portion of the coun- ty, were in Ocilla Saturday. Come oftener, gentlemen. Mr. M. J. Paulk is now a plain citizen like the vest of us, having sold his law library and, abandoned the legal profession. Look out for kitchen windows, and see that no slop is thrown from them. Typhoid fever lurks in this kind of carelessness. There was a enjoyable social en¬ tertainment at the hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. Carson, on Irwin avenue Wednesday night. Put away your wasp-like p’inter, hang your gun upon the wall, for you know there is not gwinetor be more shooting till next fall. Mr. T. Gottlieb, like Wanamaker, believes in advertising. He owns a number of stores in as many towns, and they are all well advertised. Fresh fish and oysters every Fri¬ day night and Saturday, at the Ocilla Beef Market. Carson & Bruce. 1-13-tf. Mrs. Wm. Paulk, who was strick¬ en with paralysis some time ago and rendered speechless, is slowly im¬ proving. She can now speak so as to be understood, and her many friends hope for her early and com¬ plete recovery. Waterloo 'Posoum Tracks. Mr. and Mrs. R. P. Clements ited relatives near Sycamore Sunday, Numerous questions are asked as to who 1 am. Why, I am “Pap;” who else can I be? Mr. Joe Young sqys if he is of “medium heighth,” Mr. Editor, please show him a tall one. [Give it up. Ed.] You are quite welcome to my let¬ ters, but 1 fail to see the “sparks” in them. [Invisible, therefore can¬ not be, seen. Ed.] Mr. E. P. Ford, after a year’s absence from us, returned last Wednesday. Waterloo looks “as of old” since his return. Mrs. T. B. Young, accompanied by her son and daughter, Master Howell and Miss Mary, visited Mrs. D. J. Henderson Sunday. Mr. Oscar Oliver, who moved away from here some time ago, de¬ cided that he and Waterloo were inseparable, and moved back last week. We welcome him back once more. Mrs. Sophia Young left here last Wednesnay to go to her little grand¬ daughter, Una Henderson, who is very ill. We hope “Aunt Suffy” will return soon, as things are lonely without her. Mr. S. M. Clyatt was so unfor¬ tunate as to lose one of his fine horses last Saturday. It was the second one he has lost within the past four months. Pap. . Mar, 13. Pine Level Pickings. Mr. Frank Ewing suffered with grippe last week, but is some better. Rev. Thomas Williams preached at Pine Level last Saturday and Sun¬ day. • Mr. and Mrs. G. E. McMillan spent Saturday night at Mr. D. Garrison’s. Prof. Callahan, who conies well recommended, opened a school at Pine level Monday. Mr. Charlie Wilcox, who has been attending the medical college in At¬ lanta, is at homo on vacation. Mr. and Mr. 0. J. Luke, of near Ruby, spent last Friday, Saturday and Sunday with relatives and friends in this section. Miss Rebecca Mclnnis has re¬ turned from a long visit to relatives and friends in Wilcox county. She reports having enjoyed the visit very much. Several of the Pine Level boys at¬ tended the show at Fitzgerald last Saturday night and report a live time. Judging from the “sign¬ boards” along the road Sunday morning, somebody must have been very much alive! Go again, Jim. What was it? Was it- ? Little Bill. Mar. 13. Ruby Rumbles. Mr. J. G. Warren, of Inaha, was in this city Sunday. ■ Mr. and Mrs. Jake Young visited relatives near Sutton last Saturday and Sunday. Guess the name of the young man who has been writing notes to a cer¬ tain old maid in Gliula. W’bat young man visits his sister every other day since a cei’tain young widow has been there? Mr. and Mrs. 0. J. Luke visited Mes lames S. J. Luke and F. G. E. , Paulk, near Ocilla, last week. Mr. L. W. Whiddon, of Chula, has accepted a position with Mr. E. P. Bowen in Tifton. Success to him. Mr. and Mrs. T. D. Paulk visited Elder James Gibbs and family last Sunday and report Mr. Gibbs much improved. See if you can name the young lady who received two gold rings and some nice cards from her best fellow recently? • Sambo. Mar. 13. _ WflTT & HOLMES HARDWARE GO - FITZGERALD, GA.
