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. Paper For Farmers- A paper for farmers is what the Twice-a-Week Macon Telegraph proposes to be.

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.

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. John Clements, Chairman Co. Board of Education. August 29, 1899. Pleases Him.

[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. Religious Notice. Rev. W. W.
