OCILLA, IE,WIN COUNTY, GA., FRIDAY, JX7NS 2, 1S99.
AUNT SOFRONY SAYS
Tlmt ni.no times out of ten the
husband is responsible for quarrels
in the household.
That prudence i« as necessary in
•affairs of the heart as in affairs of;
the pocket, but it can bo overdone j
in both.
That marrying for money and
hoping for love to follow, is like j
hoping .for thi#vyeaT’s.flOW stalk to |
makegood eom last year.
That weak-minded men can gen¬
erally be spotted by the location of ■
the part in their liair, though she ,
does not care to say where it is lo¬
cated.
That she thanks Elder S. *for Hie i
implied compliment, hut begs to say i
she is not on the carpet—that E, :
she is not making any new matri-
monially inclined acquaintances. . i
That love in a cot may bo divine, |
but the pot must be kept bubbling :
to make it continuous. Love is a
, mighty thin diet.
That she hears of guilt* a number
of weddings to tako.placS within the
next month or so, and she hopes
-they will. There are too many peo-
pie ekeing out a living by them-
selves.
That if all she hears be true, there
will be one widower less in Ooilla
before fodder-pulling time. Amen!
May their numbers decrease!
That she hears that a girl who
understands cooking and house¬
keeping generally, is sure of plenty
of matrimonial offers, and she’s
proud to say she learned to keep
house we'll before she was fifteen.
Ahem!
Burned Gut.
Last Friday night, between eleven
and twelve o’clock, the store of Mr.
Jacob Davis, at Irwinvillo, together
with all its contents, was consumed
by fire. Nothing was saved and
the loss is a heavy one, as there was
no insurance. There was about
-$ 120.00 in the money drawer and
this, too, was lost.
Mr. Davis slept in the store and
barely escaped being cremated. Ilis
pants and shoes were burned.
Nearly every one in wiregrass
Georgia knows Jake Davis, the
bravo old Confederate soldier, and
they all sympathize deeply with him
in his loss.
The Minnie Vocal Class has made
a new departure, which is also a
Very important one, as regards vocal
music. At the suggestion of Mr. i
Geo. T. Young, the leader of the
class, all the children, large enough I j
to sing, have been added to the class,
and last Sunday afternoon tliey met
at Willacoochee church and spent a

commend the action of the Minnie
class to the other classes in the conn-

and perpetuate vocal music.
Elder Sikes’ opposition to -wheat-
growing in wi regrass Georgia is in

THE DAILY INCREASE in our business is proof enough.
that our customers approve of, and are profiting by, our meth¬
od of doing business. They have long since learned that
the cash buying system is the only safe read 1 ‘c success.
We frequently hear the complaint of toe much price at the
credit houses. This old world is getting*full of-'sharks and
dead beats, the credit man losing more atid 'tnofe eVery year.
This means higher prices for goods, Lue and the debt-paving
consumers are the ones that suffer. dollar buys more
goods for cash than one dollar and twenty-five cents will
buy at the credit prices. You shOuld'stfiH the cash buying
eystem now. We have a bfia'utiful line 'of nicely selected
goods, and carry everything usually kept iit'a general mer¬
