Preparations Weil Under Way An Interesting Program. in. \ ,a <<ms (.owmhu (s appointed last week to prepare for the barbecue and picuc on the 27th are hard at work, and the outlook seems propi- tions for one of the best ’cues ever given in the county. It should be understood that this is a county barbecue, though origi- nated by the people of Oci.Ua, and it is desired that every man in the county should feel that way about it. There will be visitors from sev- oral adjoining counties, and they fol- will find a warm Irwin county come awaiting them. The program is an excellent one, and will afford pleasure and ment throuehodt the dav A fcpccidii,Liiiiii special train will bo u, run from ilva Tifton to Fitzgerald, where it will connect with a special from Abbe- ville, which will reach Ocilla at 8:30 a. m., and leave at G p. in. The ladies of Irwin county enjoy the reputation of being unexcelled when it comes to getting up public dinners, and we are satisfied they will add largely to their already fine reputation on the 27th. This will be a picnic in every respect, with the barbecue feature added, and the ladies of the county and town will see that it is all that the most criti- cal could expect. It is the intention of those in charge to get the people of the county together for one day., when old friends may meet and new quaintances be formed—in a word, t0 l>rin S th0 l >e °P Ic together and Let them get better acquainted with each other and have a day of solid enjoy- ment.

All contributions of meats should be in Ocilla by 3 o’clock on Monday afternoon, 20th. Aunt Sofrony Says —•— That, after all, widows are just as non-committal as their unmarried sisters, and she is glad they are. That if .she was engaged and a man person was to get to trying to hold her hand and talk soft chat to her, she’d tell him spotly there was a mortgage hanging over her, and to Beat! That she admires the young man who parts his. hair not far above his left ear and fills liB pockets with nice calomel drops when ho goes to see his best girl. That there is nothing better for married people to remember than that it takes two to make a quarrel. If she was boss of a man person she’d see him dead (or fishing for kittens in the ’Coochee, which is about the same thing), before she’d gratify him enough to quarrel with him. That she docs not want to hear anything more about young ladies primping and powdering their faces. A man person told her, no later yesterday, that Dan owes that pretty HttlO daintv-looking curl oh his fore*- to a erimninw iron' Macon & Co. for fihe ttfoth brushes. SHORT LOCALS. Mr. J. J.

Send the in- j formation so as not to reach us later than next Wednesday. I Rev. W. Yd. Stewart, of Abbe- ville, ’ preached 1 in the Methodist I church last Sum my morning . and j Might. Both sermons were against sectarian prejudice and were the best we ever listened to on that line. Dr. G. H. Macon & Co. are hav-; ’ ing awning in front of a neat put • their popular drug store. A long j cushioned bench on each side of the i entrance to the store would be as it j should be and doubtless will be. j The Vie section of the county j j was visited Monday afternoon by a | rainfall that enabled the farmers to i set out potato “draws” and plant j j peas. It did not reach but a few miles south of Mr. J. J. Harper’s. I | Deputy Sheriff Whitley and fami- ly cama down to Ocilla yesterday. Mr. Whitley wid return \ aid in the morning. Mrs. Whitley ’ ftnd the childrea will visit relatives ! in this section for a week or longer. We are indebted to Mr. N. 1). j Porter, of Ocilla, for the first slice . of watermelon of the season. He j l>nlw it of _M, fngerator. It was raised—out of i Mr. llenry Cummings’ patch, near: town! Mr. Need Purvis has a weed grow¬ ing in his garden called “fly weed,” The leaves are mashed, placed in a saucer and a little sweet poured over them. The flies gather, taste and die. It beats all the My traps and sticky paper in the world, On account of the Chautauqua at Cordele tlie G. & A. will not run on their regular Sunday schedule next Sunday, but will run the same as on week-days—leaving Ocilla at 6:40 a. rn., and returning at 8:25 p. m. One fare for the round trip. Mr. Nathan Ory, the efficient manager of Mr. T. Gottleib’s store in Ocilla, says about eyery hour some one calls to look at the good goods .he advertises. They had seen his advertisement in the Dispatch and the dodgers he had printed at the same office. A large crowd witnessed the bap- tizing last Saturday morning in Hen- dehsoa’a lake. Twenty-three were baptized. The total number re¬ ceived into the Baptist church dur¬ ing the revival was forty-nine. It was among the most successful re¬ vivals ever held in Irwin. Mr. John 15. Paulk says there are two blackberry bushes near his house that have good crops of ber¬ ries on them. That would be about one pie, and John’s mouth looks like it was built for doing away with blackberry pie, so we won’t expect even a pie crust from there. President J. M. Lott was in town Wednesday. Secretary Clint Ilar- per informs us that the class has purchased a tom-tom, and that liere- , a £ ter instrumental music will bej • mixed . . wit.i . , the. , total. , LHey aie i old still, ; .of renting the ! \ lussimmep for a place of permanent meeting. ; How’s This? “One of Ocilla’s handsomest young widows, it is reported, is mending since f 1 ■ -' lieu oal crop came in. Hurrah: Wo hope ho will get fat.” The above twistifteation was hand- e( ' 1,1 Wednesday, during our ab- sencc, and we give it space, as re- quested, but know not what it lHClllhK it is a little out of the common to sec a “ lle ” widow, but our friend so puts it and it must be so. At. the residence of tlie bride’s mother, Mrs. Elbert Fletcher, near Ruby, G a., on last Wednesday, Miss Arrel Fletcher was married to Mr. Micajah Young, of Worth county. This is a union of one of i Worth’s lnv '/ best f? irest young J men htera to a)1(1 one of j in au S ™ wish . for them a happy, prosperous ‘ * VO y a ge through life. rnmmmMMmmmmmwmmmMmmim ITT S HOLMES HARDWARE GO FITZGERALD, GA, HI:ADQUA tlTi:KS FOR Hardware, Flows, Wagons and Buggies.

TO KK 1 x* ’ v» “ 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 road to success. , We frequently hear the complaint of toe much price at the m credit houses. This old world is getting fall of sharks and dead beats, the credit man losing more and more every year. This means higher prices for goods, and the debt-paying «• cousuiners are the ones that suffer. One dollar buys more goods for cash than one dollar and t wenty-five cents will buy at the credit prices. You should start the cash buying system now. We have a beautiful line of nicely selected goods, and carry everything usually kept in a general mer¬ chandise store. Tho public is invited to call at, our store, examine our stock, and compare prices with those heretofore paid the credit houses. Yours for Lower Prices, R. B. ALLEN & CO.
