When a man pleads guilty to the offense of falling in love with a pretty girl, : he lisle as patiently t« the plea and—forg us to pass sen- tence. Miss Ruby Savage, <>f near Alan aha, delighted her no;, erou 1 1 :v da in Ocilia by spending a few days here this week, the guest of Emma Faulk. The road from Irwinville to Fitz¬ gerald, which is now being graded by convicts, will be, when com¬ pleted, one of the best in this sec¬ tion of the state. “Irwin county has one of the host county commissioners in the state, if not tho best,” said a gentleman from Savannah to the writer, at Ir¬ winville, Wednesday. Mr. E. J. 'logan is reported to have plowed up his wheat and plant¬ ed tho ground in corn this week. This may be wise, but we can’t help believing it is otherwise Mrs. N. Ely, of Toledo, Ohio, is a guest of the Austin Hotel. She is south prospecting, and may de¬ cide to locate in this, the garden spot of the United States. A humorous individual over in the Dorminey Mill section says does not subscribe for because he has a bunch of boys wants to raise them right. Mr. Jacob Dorminey, one of win’s best citizens, says, it does make so much difference what of. plows you use farming, so you use them right and enough. Those who were in a position to know say that lion. T. il. Young is a fine grand jury foreman. lie is worker and knows how to guish between “wind” and business. Col. John F. Stone,, of the nah News, is now in the race governor of Georgia. If elected (of which there can be no reasonable doubt), bis first official act will be to abolish poverty. Col. Harlow Burch, of Eastman, was a central figure at the big court, lie says he is running for solicitor- general, but tlie boys insist, on be¬ lieving he is joking. So much for being a humorist. Profs. W. A. Little and A. A. Kubl, of the Georgia Normal lege at Abbeville, will attend the final exercises of the rhetoric class at the academy Saturday evening, and will deliver addresses. Miss Augusta Kiser, of Toledo, Ohio, arrived at the Austin Hotel this week and contemplates organ¬ izing a class in fabric painting. This is something new here, a,miiiie ladies should investigate tho sub- jeet. Elder Jack Vickers, one of the best men in the state, was in Irvvin- ville Monday introdut ing a ii(in- choke harrow. His .host of old friends were glad of tho opportuni¬ ty to again shake the hand of hott¬ est John Vickers. Our farmer friends should get our prices on farming implements before making purchases. One visit to our store will convince them that tne place to buy such goods is from cash house of R. B. Allen & Co., Irwin avenue, Ocilla, Ga. Deputy Sheriff Whitley pulled quite a hank of prominent citizens of Fitzgerald last week for handling j cards. They went before Judge • Clements, plead guilty, were fined : heavily, and went on their way, | wiser and lighter of pocket. j 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 1,0 J ust whal toe yo.ng man expect- ’ < " u * **....... >-i. • • >•» °^ ier > f,n ^y atajiag enoo^Q ''**•** v “'- J •*' a spend in hunting another; 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. » Our “grippe” is better, but not well, nor was 1 able to come down, as stated in tho Dispatch.

Rev. \V ... E. Mumiord . , . li cturccl . m 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 is the founder of this home for or¬ phans, ana it will he a monument to 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,- 000.000 trust.

I eat oatmeal made by * 000 wv trust. 1 use sugar in my coffee made by $40,000,000 trust, I use milk in my coffee handled by $10,00,000 trust, I eat the cracker made by 000,000 trust. 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 ma ^ 8 $20,000,000 trugfc. j want them to uso ico when dead made by $117,000,000 trust. 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. The Best in the World. We believe (Jhamberluin’s Cough Remedy is the best in the world. A few weeks ago we suffered with a severe cold and a troublesome cough, | and having read their advertisements in our own and other papers we J pur- a bf)tt|() (o it uid i ! effect us.

Macon ,, & Oo. ., druggists, , . . 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 with Metal Buckles 15 cents, Han¬ dle hoes 20 and 25 cents, Galvan¬ ized well buckets, large size, 25 cents, at R. B. Allan & Co., cash store. 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.
