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.

Ruby, spent last Friday, Saturday
and Sunday with relatives and

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.

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.

and some nice cards from her best
fellow recently?
