Last Saturday afternoon the bar¬ becue meeting, suggested in last week’s Dispatch, was held in front of Mr. W. M. Harris’ store and was composed of representative citizens of the town. Hon. Win. Henderson was elected chairman and J. \V. Hanlon secre- tary. After considerable discussion, all favorable to getting up the barbe¬ cue, it was decided that the chair appoint a committee of five to select the names for the various commit¬ tees and submit same to the chair- man Monday morning, This com- mittce consisted of the following well-known gentlemen: L. R. Tuck¬ er, chairman; Dr. J. E. Goethe, J. A. J. Henderson, J. W. Paulk and Dr. J. G. Luke. Monday morning the committee submitted its report, which was adopted, as follows: Ocii.i.a, Ga., June 5, 1899. Day for Barbecue—Tuesday, 27 th day of J line. Committee on Invitations—J. W. Hanlon, chairman; M. L. Lawson and L. li. Tucker. Committee on Grounds—J. A. J. Henderson, chairman; J. W. Paulk and N. A. Arnold. Committee on Contributions—J. T. Paulk, chairman; J. E. Howell, Benjamin Drew, J. J. Harper, E. J. Hogan, J. li. Powell, II. S. Cum- mings, T. S. Williams, W. S. son, Reason Henderson and M. J. Paulk. Committee on Tables—Mrs. Snell, chairman; Mrs. O. F. Harris, Mrs. 11. S. Cummings, Mrs. J. E. Goethe, and Clifford Grubbs. Committee on Barbecue—N. A. Arnold, chairman; Wm. Henderson and J. L. Faulk. Committee on Amusements—Miss Emma Faulk, chairman; Mrs. Josie Paulk, Miss Effie Hanlon, Thos. B. Puckett’and Col. C. II. Martin. Committee on Program—Dr. J. C. Luke,chairman; Drs. J.E. Goethe, G. II. Macon, W. C. Ashley and E. V. Ball. As will be seen, the ’cue occurs on June 27th, St. Johns Day, and it is proposed to have a Masonic and Pythian parade that day, as part of the program, if the local lodges agree to the proposition. J. W. Hanlon was appointed a committee of one to confer with the Masonic Lodge at its next meeting, and Dr. J. E. Goethe was appointed to lay the matter before the Pythians at their meeting last Monday night. It may be accepted as a fact that both lodges will agree to participate. The various committees are al¬ ready at work and will let no grass grow under their feet. The committee oti contributions will solicit hogs, cows, sheep, bread and other things for the barbecue, including cash contributions. This is the most important committee on the list, and the success of the ’cue depends largely on its efforts. No part of the work of prepara¬ tion should be left for the last few days. Push fill the work from now until the 27th, and success will not he even doubtful. This barbecue is intended to be the best ever held in the county, and we must work to make it so. The best of everything is none Irwin, too good for the people of old and they are all invited to be pres¬ ent and help make the day a mem¬ orable one. Mr. I.. R. Tucker was elected sec¬ retary and Mr. R. V. Paulk treas¬ urer, either of whom will gladly furnish any information in regard to duties of the various committees. Next week’s Dispatch will have a good deal more to say upon the subject. AUNT SOFRONY SAYS That she is for the barbecue and picnic first, last and till Juno 27th. That people may think they know who she is, but she knows they think wide of the mark nine times out of ten. She does not mind telling them that she .is not herself at all! That she heard that Dan Faulk offered to pay the express on a cra¬ dle (not a grain cradle) from a dis¬ tant. town to Ocilla if the owner would give him the refusal of it after it arrived. I yi! That it pains her to read what “Modesty” has been saying about a handsome widower in the Watershed section; but, then there is some lit¬ tle consolation in the fact that he isn’t the only pebble on the beach. That she hears Judge Jim Lee is sorter particular about selling mar¬ riage permits to young people, and this has delayed her plans some¬ what, as her and her chappie are more goslings, so to remark; but Judge Lee is a mighty nice man, and he may reform before she sends her Danny after the papers. That she hears, with no surprise, of two guests at Hon. Wm. Hen¬ derson’s, last Sunday, whose appe¬ tites failed them at the 12th hour; but, if what she learns’is truo, the third one was the same as three at that glad hour. That she has no patience with a young man who thinks a girl cares to be taffied for two or three years before the altar is passed. She’d rather most of the taffy would come afterwards. That she hears courting is mighty warm passtime just now, but that’s nobody’s business but the courting couples’. She has all the trouble she can manage, with fleas, and this may be taken as a bint. The she “likes to note the watch¬ dog’s honest bark,” and lieav lier best chap as he madly scuds away; ’tis cheering when old Tige has quenched her “spark,” and all her worry ends with the last lonely bay! She hears that two charming wid¬ owers of this vicinity are talking about attending the picnic at Double i j} r idgcs in Berrien county next Sat- m . (lay> Well, gumps will be gumps, no matter liovv hard the best part of the human race tries to make them have some sense. Millions Given Away. It is certainly gratifying to the public to know of one concern in the land who are not afraid to be generous to the needy and suffering. The proprietors of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs aud Colds, have given away over ten million trial bottles of this great medicine, and have the satisfaction of knowing it has absolutely cured thousands of hopeless cases. Asth¬ ma, Bronchitis, Hoarseness and all diseases of the Throat, Chest and Lungs are surely cured by it. Call on Dr. G. II. Macon & Co., Drug¬ gists, and get a free trial bottle. Regular size 50c- and $1. Every bottle guaranteed, or price refunded. Dots from Ebenezer. Crops are looking fine since the rain, which came last Tuesday Rev. J. II. Goodman preached two interesting sermons last Sunday at Ebenezer. Mrs. A. C. Ilogan, who has been yisiling her parents, in Wilcox county, returned home last week. Mr. Henry Wills-and family vis¬ ited at J. R. Clements’s last Sun¬ day. Mr. A. J. Self made a business trip to Dooly county last week. Mr. Morgan Darsey and family, of Dodge county, moved to this settle¬ ment last week. Messrs. J. W. and F. J. McDan¬ iel made a business trip to Ashburn last Monday. Prof. II. L. Yarbrough, of Dub¬ lin, was in this settlement a few days ago. A good many of our citizens at¬ tended the Institute at Fitzgerald last week. Big John and J. R. Clements and Chess Ilogan attended the sheep- shearing at Judge Clements’s last Saturday. They report a fine time, but had no shirt-blacking as all hands worked. The farmers of this section are better up with their work since the vain came and filled up the river. May 31st. COKKi.'SI'ONDEXT. Seal’s Scratches. The farmers of this section are beginning to lay by their corn. Judge Daniel Tucker and Mr. J. Harper attended the land sale at Irwinville Tuesday. The school at this place is pro¬ gressing finely. Mr. L. R. Tucker spent a few days of this week in the oat field. Guess he wants to mend up for big meeting. Mr. J. M. Pafford has the finest cotton I have seen this year. Wonder when T.ije is going to dig that wheat he buried some time ago? Elder J. A. Sutton, accompanied by bis daughters, Lizzie and Wootie, spent Sunday with Mr. J. V. Paulk and family. Wonder how many widowers M- S. calls a few? Two, I suppose. A certain young lady of the. Brushy Creek section was in Ocilla a few days ago, and on her return informed her friends that she missed her usual glass of milk shake by not having her older sister with her. Quite a number of families met last Saturday at the Roberts’ ford, on the ’Coochee, near Mr. J. O. Sutton’s, made war on the finny tribe. It was a regular old-time fish-fry, such as they used to have in days gone by, when fish were more plentiful than they arc now. After a hard battle (with yellow flies) they caught a fine lot of fine fish, and the feast began at 12:30 and ended about 3. And such a feast! You ought to liaVe been there. [Didn’t hear of it till just now. Ed.] While devouring fish, one little boy asked his pa when the ^picnic would start. It was a grand success. Scat. Vic, Ga., June 6. [Seat! yourself. Ed.] Would Not Suffer So Again for Fifty Times Its Price. I awoke last night with severe pains in my stomach. I never felt so badly in all my life. When I came down to work this morning I felt so weak I could hardly work. I went to Miller & McCurdy’s drug store and they reeommeuded Cham¬ berlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar¬ rhoea Remedy. It worked like mag¬ ic and oue dose fixed me alright. It certainly is the finest thing 1 ever used for stomach trouble. I shall not be without it in my home here¬ after, for I should not care to endure the sufferings of last night again for fifty times its price.—G. H. Wilson, Liveryman, Burgettstown, Washington Co., Pa. This remedy is for sale by Dr. G. II. Macon & Co., Druggists. Frederick Speaks. Editor Dispatch: I have been reading Elder Matthew Sikes, and am surprised that a man can write such and call himself progressive in upbuilding old Irwin. Don’t discourage, but encourage the farmer to grow his own grain, and just a little to spare his neigh¬ bor, and do away with cheap cot¬ ton. We are reliably informed that Mr. J. F. Hoffman has ordered and will receive in a few weeks a thresh¬ ing machine to thresh wheat, oats, and rice, which we hope will be a stimulant to the farmer to grow more grain another year. Mr. Editor, if you please don’t relegate this to the waste basket, but give it a little corner in your valuable paper. Frederick. A Card of Thanks. I wish to say that I feel under lasting obligations for what Cham¬ berlain’s Cough Remedy has done for our family. We have used it so many cases of coughs, lung trou¬ bles and whoopiDg cough, and it has always given the most perfect satis¬ faction, we feel greatly indebted to the manufacturers of this remedy and wish them to please accent our hearty thanks.—Respectfully, Mrs. S. Doty, Des Moines, Iowa. For sale by Dr. G. H. Macon & Co., Druggists. Mr D M Griner eat a ripe water¬ melon Thursday. Go up head.

Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Webb and Mr. Till Register, of Lois, visited relatives in this section Saturday and Sunday. Guess what young lady is all smiles this week because her best fellow has come home to spend a week. V. and T.., should look out for that widower at Adel herself; and as for the bachelor—well, that’s enough, anyway. Mr. Silas Tygart, of Nashville, and Mr. Lester Tygart, of Ash- wood, visited the latter’s sister, Mrs. Len Harper, Friday and Sat¬ iny] ay. Miss Emma McMillan is the guest of Miss Blansett Chambless this week. The young son of Mr. Berry Mathis is very sick at this writing. Rev.
