Col. Harlow Burch, of Eastman,

ELDER MATTHEW SIKES,
Cracie Humber Four.
Editor Dispatch: There is an¬
other grade of husband which I do-
nomuiuto.numbir four. They issue
from good families, are well raised
and fairly educated, but, unfortun¬
ately, before they are grown they
get tired of home and homo ro-
strain ts. They thirst for new fields
of enjoyment. They want more lat¬
itude—a little fresh air, where they
can work less and make more—and
go they will, inspito of all reasoning
or advice. Off they go to hunt a
job. They do not know, nor could
they be made to believe, that they
are now laying the foundation for a
blasted future—writing the Preface
and fixing the Index to a ruined
j Hfo. It is a notable fact that too
j character and hebitu which shape *;
I man’s whole, life are formed under
twenty-seven years old. That is to
say, a man’s character and habits
at twenty-seven will index his whole
life, with but few exceptions.
But the new jobs don’t prove to

on ha goes from place to place, fro-
quently mingling m bad. society,
until the period of .ife thu. *......
character is passed, and if he has
w le mouoyonough u»pay expenses
ho has doiiu pretty well, lie is
fend of .’no coi’ipiiiy of young
ladies, , . but . his i ■ fondness » stays , only
while ho does, and goes oa to an-
other whoa he does. But finally ho
determines to marry and settle down, ’
witnout any thought ... of the duties , .
or responsibilities of a husband, zio ,,
1
has no special . , regard , tor , one woman
any more than another any longer
than he is with them, nor has he
very much confidence in any of
them; but he must marry. He is a
nice young man, of a good family,
has been well raised, nothing is
against him, he can select his woman
where lie pleases and marry her,
for in his skipping round he has
learned exactly how to captivate a
young lady; and I have seen so
much of it I have a mind to toll
how he does it, but I believe I wont,
But he marries a good woman,
That is to say, as good a woman as
—well—yes—a good woman—and
settles down. Bat, alas; he soon
gets tired of his job—his old habit
of skipping returns upon him and
he concludes ho can do better some
where else, or in some other Imsi-
ness, so he begins to drag his fain-
ily around from place to place, or
leave, them at home and skins
around himself, for such is his es-
• tablished habits. His unfortunate
y.ife now begins to'.take' iu the sit-
nation. No woman wants to be al¬
ways packing up to move, nor does
she want to be left alone and her
husband flying around somewhere
else. In this latter case she reason-
ably concludes that he is not only
tired of his job and his home, but
tired of her also, and prefers ihe
company of others, and her conciu-
| * re frequently well grounded,
ano! Talk about bitter enps!
1 This is hasdand number four, and
have never saw oue ’of these skip¬
pers that ever amounted to much.
But their poor heart-broken wives
will frequently say: “Well, I am
not sorry I married ‘Jonnie,’ but I
do wish he would do better.” Now,
1 bave two ob j 0cts in writir ‘g this:
0ne “ to wam y9 ,ul S? men against
blasting their whole lives by tho
formation of early habits, and the
other is to warn young ladies against
intermarriage with those who have
formed such habits. You may pass
it as a joke, but there is an awful j
reality about; it, and I could find a
witness among those who will read
this.

the Methodist church Wednesday
night for the benefit of the Georgia
Industrial Home for orphans, and
the response to his appeal for aid
was a grat ifying one. Mr. Mnmford

him.
James Mansfield is the republican
candidate for school trustee at Rio,
Ill., and Mrs. James Mansfield
the democratic candidate for the
same office. They are husband and
wife. A spirited canvass is being
made, but it is believed that the
woman will beat her husband by a
large majority.
Judge D. M. Hogan is i strong
believer in good roads, and thinks a
law should he passed Living those
subject to road duty about two dol-
lars each per annum, and if this was
found to be insufficient to give'the
eouiity good roads,’ that the dilicit
should be raided by a graduated
property tax, owners paying :-o much
per thousand on their property; The
idea is worthy of consider*!',
.1. e combined teacher h . institute
lov five counties—Irwin, Wilcox,
Telfair, Montgomery and Dodge—
will be held in Fitzgerald this year,
and it promises to be a very inter¬
esting as well as important assem¬
blage of the educators of this section
of Georgia. Our sister city will give
them, a warm welcome and rOyal
entertainment, and it will be worth-
ily bestowed,- as those who are train-
ing the youth of the country for the
battle of life are richly entitled
to the fullest recognition of their
services.
Strieker's List.
We have not the honor of ae-
quttiijtunee with Mr. ( harles H.
Strieker, of Chicago, but from afar
o.ud unknown to him wo desire to
waive him our most cordial salute.
Mr. dtp; .P-r is one of the many
millions of American citizens who
feel outraged at the proceedings of
(he trails and who intend to exert
themselves to prevent aggregated
capital from playing the bog at the
expense of the masses.
Mr, Strieker believes in object les¬
sons and tho anti-trust card he has
had j nted and circulated is a good
illustr.dioi of tho exti 'bt to which
the average c'tizen of Shis country
is now viaiimized by i pmhinations
of capitalikmd thretth Jcoin petition
and !■:< rid'--- (o .Mif themselves.
Tho folljvving is a [copy of Mr.
Strieker’s very impressive card:
j sleep in a bedstead made by
$12,000,000 trust.
I put c'a iy underwear made by
.(80,000,000 trust.
’ put on my pants thread made by
$300,000,000 trust.
I wear the shirt rpade by $100,-

I eat bread of tho flour made by
$150,000,000 trust,
I eat moat that is made by $50,-
000,000 trust.
I uso wall paper in the house made
by $50,000,000 trust.
I wear rubber shoes ma'de by $50,-
000,000 trust.
J live in a house, bricks made by
$8,000,000 trust
j Wftnfc casket from l um ber

j want them to uso ico when dead

I want my casket made when dead
by $18,000,000 trust.
I want my headstone of marble
made by $20,000,000 trust.
I writs , this on paper made by
$40,000,000 trust.
Mr. Strieker has enumerated
twenty-five trusts that interfere
with the laws of competition and
free trade which are as much the
right of the citizen as his liberty to
worship in the manner that seems
best to him or his right to regulate
the length of his hair and cut off
his beard.
The list of trusts thus pilloried is
formidable enough, but at the pres¬
ent rate of trust formation! it repre¬
sents only a little mbre than a
week’s hatching of’ those conspira¬
cies.
Mr. Strieker could have extended
his list to eight or ten times the
sizo of the impressive catalogue on
bis commendable card. He also
might have added point to his pre¬
sentation of the ease by saying tha(
trusts do not exist where there is no
protective tariff, and that without a
tariff trusts are imboasi-
bin.
The next meeting'of the Georgia
Teachers’ Association promises to
be an unusually interesting one. The
meeting this year will be held at
Cumherland Island, at the auditor-
iurn owned by the association, and
the attendance will- probably be
larger than usual. For two years
the teachers have not met at Cum¬
berland, and this year they arc all
looking forward with a great deal of
interest to this outing on the sea
shore, which will be a combination
of pleasure and profit. The entire
indebtedness has been paid off they
auditorium. Prof. J. M. Pound,
of Bnrnesviile, is president of the
association, and Prof. C. B. Gibson,
of Columbus, is secretary.
Superior Court.
Superior court 1 convened Monday
morning at Irwinville, Judge C. 0.
Smith presiding.
The judge’s charge to the grand
jury was an able and exhaustive one.
The court’s time was occupied un¬
til Wednesday night on civil cases.
Thursday xnornidg the criminal
docket was taken up and when our
representative left, about 4 p. in., it.
was thought court would adjourn
sometime today (Friday).
Next week’s Dispatch will contain
a pretty full report of the work of
the court.
Heavy Snow in South Dakota.
Pierre, S. !>., Aprils. A serious
snowstorm has been raging here all
day, about s ■ inches having already
' i a lien with more in sight. It is
drifting badly, and the temperature
i l’aliii;!.';.
This, in connection with the snow
already on the ground in this sec¬
tion of the state, created a serious
condition .. . for Mookmen , to lace, as
'die long period for which winter
has held on here lias prevented the
cattle from grazing, and the hay
supply is practically exhauP.cd.
The snow fall today is general in
this part of (he state.

At the Robert fon^ bridge on the
Willacoosheo, about a mile from Mr-
Jacob J. Paulk’s- residence, during a
road working last month Mr. D. T.
Faulk, Jr., discovered a lot of cloth¬
ing stuffed under the end of the
bridge. There were pants, vestSj
coats, shirts and a large quantity of
nndetshirts and drawers. Some of
the clothing was good, but much of
it .showed considerable wear. Who
put it there, or for what purpose,
remains a mystery.
Every farmer should buy one of
ou.r Bark collars at 35 cents, Red
Top Oak harnes at 25 cents, Trace
chains at 30 cents, Swingle trees at
15 cents, Extra heavy Back Bands

A white man who is dying because
he cannot stop hiccoughing was
taken to the Grady Hospital in At¬
lanta, Wedneskay night. For days
he has hiccoughed, and has been un¬
able to eat or sleep on account ox
the incessant contraction of the dia-
phragjn. These spasms have been
painless, but the unabated continu¬
ance for so long a time has gradual¬
ly weakened him until he now sees
death approaching, and death will
probably be the only power to cure
his strange malady. The outcome
of the remarkable case will be
watched with considerable interest
by the medical fraternity.
According to the rules of the
Georgia Weekly Press Association,
none but a proprietor or editor is
eligible to membership or cap rep¬
resent a paper on the press excur¬
sions. We have had application
this year and last from parties not
connected with tho newspaper busi¬
ness, who wished to represent the
Dispatch, on the annual press excur¬
sions. Of course we had to decline
to accept their offer and explained
our reason^ fordoing t:o. They were
not aware of. the inhibition, and
mentioned several papers in this part
ol the state that were represented
by parties in no way connected with
the business.—Ocilla Dispatch. The
Dispatch is right in not violating
ihe'rules of the association, and it
is to be hoped that the correspond¬
ing secretary of the association will
be able to get a list of all papers
that are in the habit of practicing
this imposition that they may be
blacklisted.— Worth Local.
