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.
