A Mississippi editor tells the
story of a young bachelor sheriff
wjip was called upon to serve an at¬
tachment on a handsome young
widow. He called and said: “Mad-
.am, 1 have an attachment for
you.” She blushed and said the at¬
tachment was reciprocated. “You
misunderstand,” he said, l i You
must proceed to court.” She told
him that she knew it was leap yoar
but she had rather ho would do the
courting. “Madam,” lie continued,
“this is no time for trifling.” “O,
I prefer a minister,” she said, “A
squire married me the first lime and
I bad bad luck.”
Strangers look incredulous when
told that Ocilla has attained its
present growth in less than two
years, yet it is a fact; and It con¬
tinues to grow. The secret o'f its
wonderful growth lies in the fact
that it has natural advantages pos¬
sessed by few if any towns ia wire-
grass Georgia. The location is high,
dry and healthy. The surrounding
country is one of the best farming
sections in the state, and the people
know how to make it produce
abundantly. These and the fact
that the town has a bank, postoffice,
express and telegraph office, one
good railroad and another in sight,
and a live, progress citizenry, are
some of the propelments that have
made Ocilla what she is.
Prof. II. B. Sutton’s school at the
Brushy Creek school house closed
yesterday in fine shape. In ad¬
dition to the closing exercises,
which were highly satisfactory to
the patrons, there was a spelling
bee, in which the pupils of the
school were on one side and a num¬
ber of visitofs on the other. It is
almost needless to say the visitors
were spelled down. Then, too,
there was an exciting game of base
hall betwbeii the school nine and a
crack team from Alapaha, At noon
a grftnd feast was spread and there
was milch more than enough for all.
The day Was one that will lie re¬
membered long and pleasantly by
both pupils and visitors.

A Little Body Found.
_
Baxley, Ga., Aug. 23.— Under a
large root near Httrrcncy, in this
county, was found , yesterday, , anew
born babe with Its head crushed. In-
the vestigatioi^ illegitimate developed child that of it white was
a
woman who at its birth had killed
it atotl her little hoy of about twe’.ve
ytiufs of age put it into this place
ol concealment. The woman’s name
is Harden. Coroner Overstreet left
this morning to hold an inquest,
and the woman will be immediately
imprisoned to answer for her crime.
AUNT SOFRONY SAYS
That the weather never gets too
wot for people to gather and dis¬
cuss the affairs of their neighbors.
So she hears.
That she has no more use for
another girl’s beau than she would
have for a second-hand chew of to-
baceo, if she used the vile weed,
That the merchants and other
folks in Adel have a treasure in the
Adel News, and she is glad to see
they are patronizing it liberally.
That she does not think old
bachelors should be abused for not
marrying. It takes all kinds of
people—sensible as well as senseless
—to make up the world.
That she read somewhere that
the pen is mightor than the sword,
and she has been wondering ever
since if the writer meant a pig pen.-
Some of those in some towns arc
mighter than two swords.
That she likes the kind ot
ligiou that feels for distress in
dollars and cents, and that is more
solicitous about the heathens at
home than it is about the heathens
across the seas.
That she is well aware that try as
hard as we may to escape them,
trials and sorrows will come into
each one’s life more or less, there¬
fore she believes we should scatter
the seeds of sunshine wherever we
go, and never borrow trouble.
That she pays little attention to
those who are contending for wo¬
man’s rights. What she would like
to sec is a determined fight made
against woman’s wrongs, and they
arc not a few.
That there are said to be over
three hundred bones in man, and
she’d like for every one of them to
ache awhile in the man that wilt
squirt tobacco.juice on the hath his
wife has whitewashed in expecta¬
tion of company coming.
Getting Ready.
Prof. W. N. Smith, Principal of
the Ocilla High School, is spending
his time this week at the academy,
meeting with the pupils, and ascer¬
taining the condition of the school,
as to gradation and classification,
preparatory to opening and moving
forward with the school next Mon¬
4th.
Prof. Smith conies to us highly
recommended, and the outlook for
the school is very promising. We
congratulate the school board and
trustees of the Ocilla High School,
in being so fortunate in securing the
services of so talented an educator
as Prof. Smith. For the system of
education that was in vogue even
ten years ago will not do for the
present time. In every nation un¬
der the sun to-day, the question is
being asked as it never was asked
before, “What can lie done to ad¬
vance a larger, freer, and fuller
growth of civilization through the
child-life of the people?”. Every¬
thing is bringing into play new
devices and new forms of energy
that will make larger demands upon
the intelligence of the children than
was ever made upon their fathers.
The public school'spirit is touch¬
ing, sweetening the and brightening all
of Our honies, humblest as well
as the highest. It is carrying hope
and good cheer atul light to thous¬
ands of young lives who would
otherwise be hedged in by the curse
of ignorance and shut up in the
helplessness lend of despair. We should,
therefore, our support and co¬
operation to make the Ocilla High
School notable by reason of great
educational progress.
To all who coine we insure a
pleasant home and an excellent op¬
portunity for educational advance¬
ment.

Fitzgerald’s New Paper.
[Special to The Atlanta Journal.!
“FiTZOKRAt.lv Ga., Aug. 23.—
The Fitzgerald Publishing com¬
pany was organized temporarily on
Friday, the 25th inst., by electing
F. S. Bauder president, .1. E. Mer¬
cer vice-president, J. II. Harley
secretary and treasurer and the fol¬
lowing board of directors: J. 1$.
Clements, 1). B. Jay, M. Hender¬
son, Ed. Smith and Marion Dixon.
J. K. Mercer was elected editor.
“This company has purchased
the Ocilla Dispatch and the Irwin
County News, now published at
Ocilla, and the Leader outfit at this
place. The brick building on Cen¬
tral avenue was purchased at two
thousand dollars, and will be the
home of a paper to be named next
Friday. Some of the wealthiest
and most influential citizens of the
county an among the stockholders,
and considerable capital is interest¬
ed, and success will lie the natural
result of good business manage¬
ment.
“This company will publish a
paper at this place and one at
Ocilla.
“Dating almost from the birth of
this colony there has existed a spirit
of rivally and ill-feeling between
Fitzgerald and other sections of the
county, which has worked much
harm. This feeling ran high dur¬
ing the court house campaign. A
better feeling now exists, and the
paramount object of this organiza¬
tion is to unite the good people of
Irwin county for her continued pro¬
gress and prosperity.”
The above publication is prema¬
ture, as have been other publica¬
tions in regard to newspaper changes
in this county. That such a deal as
is mentioned is in contemplation is
correct, and it is also true that a
temporary organization has been
made : but the publication of these
facts is premature and should have
been kept out of print until a per¬
manent organization had been ef¬
fected and titles passed to the prop¬
erty. Up to this time nothing has
been done toward winding up the
old business of the Dispatch, and
until this is done and other pre¬
liminaries attended to, the paper
cannot be merged into the new
company. In other words, the
Dispatch wants the change made in
a business-like way, or not at all.
Another correction may aB well be
be made here. There will be no
“Fitzgerald Publishing Company”
organized now or at any other time,
with the DiSpatch as a party the re-
to.
