Mr. Oren Qatchel, of Leliaton,
was in Nashville Wednesday and
arranged with the property holders
to locate his depot in-.the-eastern
part of town, near the new colored
Baptist church. The-proposed line
of road from Eldridge-Crossing,
near Mr, W. M. 1 Griners, -to Nash¬
ville, has been surveyed and work
will be commenced at ohee pushing
the rotid ill the direction ol' Nash¬
ville, Thus Nashville in a very
short while will have connection
with the outside world by rail from
two ways.—B. C. News.
An Empty Cache.
A ease labeled “sodawater,” a
hamper of provisions, a jug said to
contain “bait” and a bundle of bed.
ding left Tifton by the 3 p. m. train
on the T. & N. E., not many moons
ago, for a ]>oint on the Alapaha river.
With it went two men. One was
of the tribe of Ben Franklin, and
much ink, like unto tar, was visible
in bis hair and on his raiment. His
face was clean shaven, except the
mustache, arid the prongs of this
were tied behind each ear in a how-
knot. The other was a thoughtful
looking man, fujl of wise sayings
and other things. Arrived at a eer-
Uin pojgt, t’qe rojuy.enatqy.s and
qjlie-v t!)tygp w.qrc, disembarked,
cachyd, and the fishermen, wended
their way up tlje stream to angle for
ipudcats. After tlie stars had twink¬
led s.evpi-fil-hours, tlje men returned
to the cache, to find that everything
was gone, Then a loud wail went
up from hp of the tribe of Ben
Franklin, and he stompt the ground
and said many words with sulphur
linings. There they were, in a river
swamp, miles from the habital of
man, dry, hungry, muddy, red-hot
with a rage born of despair, no
“sodawater,” no “bait,” no bedding
-—nothing but darkness and tho
night hawks around them. “Dam
the river!” said lie of the tribe of
Ben Franklin. “No use,” said his
comrade in misery; “we have no
tools and less inclination.” “I wish
the fellow who stole our bee—soda-
water, I mean,-—had a freight car,
loaded with cayenne pepper, cross¬
wise in his stomach,” said he of the
tpibe of Ben Franklin. “Better
wish he hadn’t stolen our bee—-bait,
I mean,” answered his sage vis-a-vis.
A reselling party found them next
morning, spitting cotton and talk¬
ing hoarsely of the cache with noth¬
ing in it.
Meeting qf School Boarct.
The County Board of Education
held a meeting in the County School
Commissioner’s office in Irwinville,
Op the 17th iust., for the purpose of

Powdered Borax.
A few days ago the writer was
shown, in the smokehouse of Mrs.
Una Clements, at Irwinville, a large
quantity of home-cured middlings,
shoulders, hams and jowls, all as.
nice and bright looking as it usually
is a month or so after being cured,
and entirely free from skippers. In
answer to an inquiry as to how the
meat had been so well kept, slie
said:
“When the meat is ready to hang
up, I have it thoroughly washed ill
warm water, then placed On tables'
to dry. When dry, give it a good
sprinkling -of powdered borax, h<*' a g
it up, and you see the result.’ 1
And it is certainly a mo r ’ t g ra gfy-
ing one. Every fsrjr j8r o ht to

ELDER MATTHEW SIKES,
Are You a Hypocrite?
Editor Dispatch : Nothing is more
generally condemned in the script-
uros than hypocrisy, and nothing
more universally indulged. It is
seen everywhere, in everybody and
enters into overy branch of business.
The doctor deceives his pstiout, the
lawyer his client, tho merchant bis
customer, tho parent his child, the
editor his—well, it is no use to enu¬
merate; it ip everywhere.
The best old citizen in the country
puts the best pickets on tho front
yard, the best lumber on the front
side of the house, tho host fonco
along the road, lie plows, plants
and cultivates first on tho road side,
and generally fertilizes a little bet¬
tor next to tho road. Well, it is all
right; no one can accuse him, be
cause they all do the same thing.
A young lady who was not a hypo¬
crite could hardly move in society,
and would probably die and old
maid. They must put on falso pre¬
tentions and seem to be what they
are not, else they are left.
An honest article can hardly be
sold in our markets. A contractor
cannot live and do honest work.
Humbuggery has beat honest labor
out of the market.
But thore is a diversity of kinds
of hypocrisy. One is the deceptive
manner of some ladies in receiving
unwelcome company. The lady
visitor is met at the front door or at
the yard gate, and with a broad
smile, receives the unholy kiss; then
follows the usual routino of apiolo-
gies for the uncomely appearance of
things, and tho visitor is led to be
lieve that her visit is quite a treat,
when, in fact, tho landlady will
grumble for a week about being beat
out of that day’s work and the worry
of the children.
But of all tho deceptions known
to the human family, the one most
bitterly condemned by the Divine
Majesty is religious hypocrisy. Ev¬
ery religious pretention not fervent
in spirit, is hypocrisy—“Drawing
nigh unto mo with their lips while
their hearts are far from me.” Are
you a hypocrite? Don’t say no, and
thus add falsehood to your hypocrisy.
How often in the midst of tho brustle
of the morning have you dropped
into . seat , at , the ,, , breakfast , , , table . . ,
your
and , rushed . , throngh ,, , a little ..... term , of ,
while the mind was the ,,
prayer on
, business of , the ., day. , Family „ ., pray-
‘
ers are generally ,, of , the ,, same sort; ,
and , parents . think they , are setting ...
religious .. . examples . for , their ., . children,, , ., ,
when, , - fact, , , ,, they teaching , . . les- ,
in are
of . , hypocrisy- . It Ti • the ,, life
is
the parent , lives . before , the ., children ....
that ., sets the ., example, . and ,,, their . ciead , ,
religious formalities only serve to
destroy , , their confidence and , respect
for all rohgious . pretentions. ... T It , was
an empty form of words without the
spirit . of prayor that , Jesus T rebuked , ,
as « Dtawiag nigh lmto Him with
^ whi , e their bearts were far
from . Inm, TT , this * empty ,
ana yet very
form „ of , words is taught all over our
t , "
c0 ’’“ * J
An ungodly fatner, of , my ac-
qnamtancp, . , stood by tho bed of his
dying ; . and told him , ho must
son
anil . when , the ,, , boy told , him he
pray,
didn t know how , to , pray, , his . father , ,,
told him what to say. and he said it,
... \\ as it. prayer? Mark . this ,, . one
thing • Tho spirit of prayer always
furnishes its own form of words,
and needs no borrowed form. The
preacher utters a long prayer for a
hundred things, and if one-half of
them were granted, it would scare
him out of the pulpit.
Aro you a hypocrite?

Mr. Bob Handley, tho efficient
su|»erinte.ndent of the chaingang,
who was reported to have been over¬
powered and almost killed by con-
victs last Friday, requests us to say
that there was not the slightest foun¬
dation for the report, as there has
been no disturbance of any kind in
the gang and that the best of order
prevails at all times.
There will be yearly meeting at
Hopewell church, Irwinville, On the
first Sunday in August and Friday
and Saturday before. Prof. Royal
will bg present Sunday morning and
desires as many of the singers of
the vocal classes in tho county as
can do so to meet him on that occa¬
sion, for singing exercises. “Our”
class will doubtless be well repre¬
sented.
Mr- Geo. Tucker has treated him¬
self to a nice new organ and reports
are that lie is progressing rapidly in
instrumental music under his amia¬
ble instructor, Mr. Nas Paulk. It
is said that he is so full of the music,
already imparted by Prof. Paulk,
that even when he is not at tho in¬
strument, his feet and hands are
continually moving upward and
downward.
At a meeting of the board of trus¬
tees of Ocilla High School last week,
Pvof. W. N. Smith, of Rcidsville,
was elected principal and Rev. M.
I,. Lawson assistant for the next
scholastic year. Prof. Smith and
Rev. Lawson are both well known
as fine educators and we bespeak for
the peoplo of Ocilla a flourishing
and profitable school year.—Abbe¬
ville Chronicle.
Mr. J. B, Swiiley and Miss Mary
Jane Brogilen, daughter of Mr.
James Brogdon, -were married at the
residence of the bride’s parents last
Sunday, Elder Archie McMillan of¬
ficiating. The attendants were:
Mr. Julian Brogden and Miss Mary
Jane Swiiley, Mr. Jas. Spivey and
Miss Rebecca Brogden. The Dis¬
patch wishes the young coyplo hap¬
piness and prosperity.
Those who have subscribed to the
fund for building a Baptist church
in Ocilla arc respectfully requested
to come forward and pay the
amounts, as the building is now in
progress and the money is needed.
If subscribers cannot pay all, they
are requested to pay part now, and
the balance at the earliest possible
moment. Money should be paid to
Mr. Warren Paulk, church treasurer.
Judge J, B. Clements, who pre¬
sides over the county court with so
much honor to himself and profit to
the county, is one of the most ex¬
tensive as as among the best
fanners in the county. He has
about three hundred acres in culti¬
vation this year, and the various
crops are very fine, lie has perhaps
the largest field of cotton in the
county; and the cotton is doubtless
the largest in the county, age con¬
sidered .

which they did, and found
sixty young serpents, ten inches

sixty-two. The sauie day they killed
