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.) V. and T. Berrien county, May 28.

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.

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. Judge Whitley has made more oa ts this year than he can shock on tho game lmd lhcy wero grown on .

We are pained to learn that Misg Martha, the charming daughter of Mr. and-Mrs. E. J. Hogan, is ill with malarial fever. We hope for her a speedy recovery.

He also preached to i a large congregation in Chula Sun- day night, 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- ternoon. Messrs. Arthur Clements and —. Swearingen, of Sycamore, were the guests of Mr. J. II. Young, Sunday., Mr. Joe Young is limping with a bruised ankle, the result of Has Fletcher’s athletic sports. J'.,!'. May 29. Wevvsy Berrien Notes.

The wheat and oats were greatly damaged by the rain and wind of last Tuesday evening. Some have had to cut theirs with a machine. Guess who the young man was that was so disappointed Sunday because his best girl wasn’t at the sing that it made him sick? Well, Elbert! Miss Louie Parish, of Lois, is a welcome visitor at the home of her uncle, Mr. Marion Register, this week. Mr. G. F. Hubbard was a pleas¬ ant visitor at the home of John Mc¬ Millan Sunday. Some one brought- the sign board from two miles of Brushy Creek down to Aliapaha Sunday of the convention, so we 'live in four miles of Oeilla or that is what it says. -What is the matter with Y. and T. this week? Guess she must bo grieving because .sue didn’t go tft tho convention. - M. S. Ruby Items. Mrrs. S. J. Luke, who is spending a while with her son, O. J. Luke, is the guest of Mrs. E.
