Ofllefal Orp.an Irwin County.
Fiuoav, .Iunk 2, is;m.
JEx-Gov. Nort,lien’s- Boston speech
was worthy of the hour and the
man.
The Douglas Breeze says efforts
to get up two revivals have failed
in Douglas.
Why is the Ashburn Advance like
a unicorn? Because it has only one
Horn! Forward the chromo.
The “Henderson Dispatch” is the
latest name applied to this paper by
the Fitzgerald Misleadcr. We like
the name, notwithstanding we know
full well the animus of the writer.
The tribe of scheming northern
scoundrels, wjjo eared only for the
negroe’s vote, have led him to the
brink of destruction, and now do
not know or care how he is to be
saved. Ilia best friends are and
have always been in the south. j
There are thousands upon thou-
sands of acres of land around Oeilla
which should be cleared and culti¬
vated. One way to do this is by
offering the lands for sale at reason-
aide figures—not at figures fixed by
the probable future growth of
Oeilla.
There is not,’ in all this broad
land, a better class of people than
those who inhabit Irwin county and
tickle her soil. As farmers, they
are above the average; as law-abiding
citizens, they stand at the front; as
Christians, they measure up with
the best.
The Dihpat<*ii has nothing to
•“take back” on the wheat question.
It did not nor does it now believe
that whoat growing for market can
be made profitable in wiregrass
Georgia, but it does believe enough
■can be grown for home use, anil
-this is all it has advocated.
It is a little out of the common
to hear men who recently became
citizens of the county—newspaper
men, we mean—decry so glibly
against “bossism.” These men must
be using information received from
disappointed office-seekers, or else
they are permitting their own greed
for public pap to run riot with their
judgment. There is nothing wrong
in seeking patronage, private and
public, unless misrepresentation is
used in the effort to secure it.
Such misrepresentation as they have
been indulging in is not calculated
to benefit the county, abroad.
The Christian Index, the official
organ of the Colored Methodist
Episcopal ChuroMy ol Tennessee,
says of the lynching of Sam Hose:
“We are not surprised at the way
he met his death.' We would be
very much surprised to know that
any negro in this country would di¬
rectly or indirectly defend such a
man. While we deplore the action
of the mob, yet we would not walk
two steps to join in with a crowd
of negroes who would attempt to
justify, condone or rescue a man
who could commit such an outrage¬
ous crime in cold blood.”
The Fitzgerald Leader says:
1 he day , when . , .ve or six - men can
say who shall be elected to offices !
in Irwin county has passed.”
Which means that, in the Leader’s
opinion, such a day lias existed.
Our contemporary rates the intelli¬
gence of this county very low when
it asserts that five or six men can
lead several thousand by the noses.
The leadership of the men whom
the Leader styles “bosses” has made
Irwin county a place among the
foremost counties of the State, and
. has worked , . lor her good at home ,
and abroad. If the Leader was the
official organ of Irwin, there would
be no digs at the “bosses,” so-called,
I Grand Barbecue ai-Ocilla-
!
Oeilla and the Brushy Crook sec¬
tion generally is nothing if not pa¬
triotic. This year it is proposed to
have a grand barbecue here on the
fourth of July—not a little
horse affair, with a few half-done
carcasses and poor eating generally,
hut a regular old-time-bcfore-the-war
’cue, with all the popular trimmings,
with the addition of public speak-
ing, foot-races, sack races, and nu-
morons other instructive and sunns-
ing features. To make this’cue the
grand success contemplated, com-
mitloes should be appointed at the
earliest possible moment, so that
they may have, ample time to make
full preparation foi tin-event. This
i< not to be an OriSD ssffaii but ah
Irwin county’cue, where the people
of every section of the county can
meet imd spend a day pleasantly
with each other.
It is suggested, as an initial step,
that a public meeting be held at the
court house in Oeilla to-morrow
(Saturday,) at 3 p. m., for the pur¬
pose of appointing the various com¬
mittees and for such other work as
may properly come before the meet¬
ing.
Now, let’s get to work and have
the host fourth of July celebration
ever witnessed in Irwin county.
Hot a Bin.
It is surprising how some men
can catch fish while others near
theih cannot get even a nibble This
was exemplified Saturday week, when
Capt'. \V. Lennon, Mr. R. L. Hen¬
derson and this scribe went fishing
in the lake at the old ferry crossing j.
on the ’Lophaw, near Mr. I),
Henderson’s. Capt. Lennon and the
writer fished pretty close together
nearly the whole time. He caught
a string of fine fish, while wc caught
—Bob’s hilarious remarks about the
large number of fish we failed to
catch. Not a fin rewarded ou* ef-
forts, while Bob, soil is said, sue-
ceeded in getting five good-sized
fish by muddying a “slew” a mile
or so up the swamp.
When the fish were taken to the
house three pretty young ladies pro-
pared them for the frying pan,Capt.
Lennon generously donated his fine
“catch” to the two wayfarers from
this end of the line, and two families
not far from where we write enjoy¬
ed excellent fish suppers.
Cross Roads.
Regular services were held at
Pleasant Grove last Saturday and
Sunday.
Forest Hill and Lois schools closed
last Friday. Colonel Henry Peeples
delivered a very patriotic lecture at
Forest- llill, in the afterno.on to a
very large and attentive audience.
Also music was almost
ble by the pupils, under the leader-
ship of Mr. Mansfield Parrish,
gainst; arid of course dinner “thrown
in” by •' a “big majority.” J -V Quite a
large , number , or the pupils •> of fiorest ,
Hill attended the exhibition at Lois
and enjoyed the exhibits and the
music by the “strong baud” very
much.
Mr. Pen Goodman, who has been
visiting relatives and friends in
Sparks for the past two weeks, re¬
turned to his home in Arkansas, last
Tuesday.
Miss Missouri Lindsey, of this
“section,” is very sick, of fever, at
this writing.
“M. S.,” why don’t- you be more
particular? or you will certainly lose
your “widower” and “bachelor” of
Adel, as the “widower” was “rush¬
ing” a Miss —., and there is no
telling how soon tho “bachelor” will
“step off” also.
Quite a number from tins
inanity enjoyed an “old time fish
fry” last Tuesday, and tho fish “did
rise.”
Guess what certain young gentle¬
man who lives two miles Southeast
ot Adel, is very much perplexed,
caused by failing to receive a reply
from his girl who hyes aoout five
miles from Dial reek church ?
koine one is going to ret an uue-
<l uaied chance s ip._
Guess what certain young man,
of Mill town, called las hnnay, p.
m., to take his best girl of this com-
muuit-y to the exhibition at Lois,
and she was gone from home? (She
has not seen or heard of him since.
Guess he is at Milledgevilie,though.)

Editor Dispatch—I will give
you a tew dots from the edge of the
swamp this week,
I am happy to state that I am
making friends with some of my
enemies, aa that Tittle 'taffy l gave
Lige in the last iasuo has got him in
a better humor. As you know,
there is nothing like speaking of a
mail's bravery. Though we learn
Judge W. is on the war-path, there
is one thing we greatly rejoice at;
lie don't know who wo are.
Our friend Dan will have to pro-
vide himself with a weapon 1 > do-
fend himself, as the Judge’calls him
Modesty. But that doesn’t cut any
ice with Dan, for he goes on with
the repair business just the same,
We heard that Dan had the small
intestines of his wheel out and it
resembled an eel and reminded its of
friend J. 11. Young, of Water-
loo.
We have been informed that that
big bank account has somewhat di¬
minished. Billie can now sit with
both feet on banister.
Guess what girl it was that said
the, only difference she could tell in
the water after the widower throwed
ice in the well was that it turned
it “sorter” dark?
Our friend Geo. T. Young, of
the Watershed community, has en¬
tered into a new departure in farm-
ing. He is growing cotton in his
rows and renting 'the middles to his
neighbors for a pasture. George is
an up-to-date farmer.
Just as we predicted, Board is
causin S trouble - We saw Col. IIo-
Ran going at lightning speed after
M »J 6r Handley, of Minnie, and his
blood ll0linds > as his wa S 011 bod >'
had disappeared. After considera-
cbase b 5 tbc and

enormous Beard. But Davie is- an
u P- to - dat e farmer. That fifteen acre
C0! ' n is in silk and taslc -
Gues « llc wanted tbat wa S 0U bod y
to haul in corn.
Guess what old bachelor planted
0llt a watcr oak in East Mystic and
named it for a sweet young girl?
Just ask Millard.
Guess who tried to drink a whole
bucket of water because lie saw
some girls drink from it? Now
don’t ask Millard about this.
We learn that the authorities have
changed the convicts dress from
stripes to white. We saw one com¬
ing from the gang dressed in white
the other day. N r as had him in
charge. You may ask Hanlon about
that.

The picnic at the Reedy Lake, on
Mat creek, Saturday, was one long
to he roniembered. At an early
hour a largo number of pleasure
■ cokers gathered and spent the day I
in fishing, roaming around over the
beautiful grounds, and just having
a big time, generally. At twelve
o’clock the delicious dainties were
spread and they were Bitch as to
make the month- of some people
over here in Waterloo run water for
two days because they (the people)
were not there. About three o’clock j
the pic-nic-crs decided they had di-1
gestod as much pleasure as they pos- J
sibly could and so reluctantly took
their leave, all promising to meet |
again at the picnic at the Lennon
bridge next Saturday.
Miss Emma Fletcher was a pleas-
ant visitor, in Waterloo Sunday af-
