OCILLA, IRWIN COUNTY, »A„ FRIDAY, JULY 2S, 1890.
AUNT SQFRCNY SAYS
1 hat, according to her idea, theto
u ould be more marrying in thin vi
eiuitv i! thoie was less guying.
That the most disgraceful thing
about honest labor is the making
light of it by hair-brained fools
That she fears some of her ac¬
quaintances are daily lying their
chances of heaven away. This is
deplorable, but only lock-jaw can
stop it.
That she saw a handsome
man at tbe big meeting Sunday and
she wondered if there was a
gage on him. His name is J. Con-
nell and he looked sniptious.
That she learns, with deep con¬
cern, of two widowers going to
Bowen’s Mill Wednesday. She
hopes they didn’t take the rheumatics
or collapse from heart trouble.
That women rule tho world,
though the conceited opposite sex
arrogate that honor to themselves.
When it comes to conceit, men take
the cake. Especially old bachelors.
That she can’t see why a courting
club should bo organized in Ocilla.
A club to prevent widowers and old
woather-beaten bachelors from court¬
ing more than one girl at a time
would be more to the purpose.
That when an old bachelor or
widower gets his head “sot” on
marrying, you might as well pull
off the bridle and let him go. That
thought was suggested by what she
observed at Brushy Creek church
Sunday. .*
That as people have but one time
to die, and that time an uncertainty,
she can’t see why so many delay so
long in marching up to the altar and
there resolving to love and obey
each other till thoy have a fuss in
the family.
Thaf. she wants it distinctly un¬
derstood that she is, not responsible
for the corns, ingrowing toe-nails
or aches and pains of any one, and,
furthermore, that she is not a doc¬
tor; ami this means that she likes
her friends to be cheerful when they
are with her, and ruminate over
their bodilv ailments some other
time.
Missing #||an Found.
For weeks the most shocking re¬
ports have been afloat in Irwin about
the murder and robbery of a stran¬
ger by a well-known young man of
this county. The reports were so
numerous and conflicting that
thoughtful people gave but little
credence to any of them; still there
were many who believed they had
foundation.
It now turns out that the so-called
missing man—Moore by name—is
not missing, and that the sensation¬
al reports had really no foundation
in fact.
Wo get the above information
from Hon J A. J, Henderson and
take great pleasure in giving it
publicity.
Ocilla Lodge No, 374, F. & A. M.,
held one of the most interesting
meetings in its history Wednesday
night. Judge. Clements, W. M. of
Irwinville Lodge, accompanied by
Bro. M. Luke, came down and de¬
livered a lecture on Masonry, illus-
trated with magic lantern scenes.
qq le lecture throughout was au elo-
quent and deeply impressive illus¬
tration of the beauties of Masonry,
and the Lodge is very grateful to
the talented lecturer for the same.
At this writing a bountiful food
crop is assured in Irwin, Cotton

Ocilla lias arrived at a point in
her existence when sho must either
go forward or backward. She can-
not stand still. If we mistake not,
she will soon have au opportunity
to go rapidly forward or fall into a
slow decline, like other towns which
have, through selfishness or a mis-
takon idea about progress, let gold-
on opportunities pass unimproved,
One of tho needs of the town is
more merchants who know tho value
of advertising in bringing new trade
to it, and another is am organization
«f sonic kind to induce farmers from
other parts of the state to locate iu
this vicinity and develop the rich
resources of tho soil.
