When a man begins to shoot off

The Dispatch owes the public pat

the county, and, so far as wo know,
they have no reason to complain of
the manner in which the work has
been done.

Judge Wiley Whitley made about
seventy bushels of corn on an acre
and a half this year. This was his
brag patch. After receiving the
second plowing the wind blew it
down so badly that it could not he
again plowed, and this probably
shortened the yield. A tine crop of
crowfoot grass was harvested, off
the same ground last week, and
Judge Whitley says it would bring
more cash than the corn.

The Dispatch charges for legal
advertising for the people of the
county nearly 50 per cent, less than
the law allows. This remains in
the pockets of the people. We’ll
talk more on this subject later on,
if occasion seems to require it.
It is reported that the good ne
groes of Douglas became tired of
the attentions bestowed upon their
wives and daughters by a fake ne
gro doctor. They took the doctor
put, administered a good strapping
and advised him to visit other pas
tures green. It is needless to add
that their advice was taken instan
ter.
Will the brethren of the press,
each of whom, as is well known to
the world, would rather he right
that president, correct all they
liave said about the Dispatch in
connection with the Fitzgerald
Publishing Company? That com
pany is a good one, so far as we
know, but the Dispatch is not con
nected with it, and does not wish to
claim an honor it is in no way en
titled to.
Overwork, either physical* or
mental, will produce weakness and
loss of energy. Too many business
or family cares, overwork in tlie
harvest field, an excess of woman's
work and worry, will produce
months of misery. To prevent this
the exhausted system should be re
inforced immediately. Dr. J. II

Crime and lawlessness seem to be
rife throughout this section just
now, which calls for a rigid en
forcement and execution of law.
Our people must wake up and he

There is too much idleness on the

If you have a little farms or
business and are out of debt, don’t
fret and work yourself and good
wife into the grave for the sake of
making money. You liave but one
life to live, and it is very brief at
best. Take a little comfort as you
go along day by day, and try do a
little more good to others. A mor
bid, insatiate desire to possess the
earth, to grab everything in sight,
is at the foundation of more misery
than almost any other one thing.
Wealth alone will never keep your
memory green after you’re gone—a
good life and kind actions will.—

Douglas, Ga., Sept. 13.—At Den
ton, in the eastern portion of the
county, Mrs. Perkins, near dark,
went to milk her cow nearby, leav
ing no one in the dwelling. Capt,
Perkins’ bookeeper, being in the
commissary, heard a noise in the
dwelling, went out to ascertain the
cause, and opening the door was
confronted by a negro, who opened
fire upon him, shooting one ball
through his hat. He returned the
lire, without any visible effect, and
the burglar made good his escape,
and is yet at large. Upon investi
gation the fact was revealed that
yover trunk in the house was brok
en open and something over $100
in money secured by the burglar.

The short cotton crop in Dodge
county and low prices, it is said,
will leave the farmers in worse con
dition than they have been in for
some years. Mot only is cotton
short, but cane, peas, potatoes, bay
and in fact, everything in the way
of grain product in many sections
of the county are more than half
short. Gardens have been an abso
lute failure.
A few hours after the Dispatch
went to press last week the soul of
Mrs. Win. Paulk, wife of Elder
Wm. Paulk, returned to its Maker.
Mrs. Paulk had been ill for five or
six months, with paralysis, and
during those trying months all that
the best medical skill, aided by the
kind and constant care of loving
hands, could do to alleviate her
suffering and restore her to health
was done, but the Master willed
otherwise and took her home. May
he lighten the affliction of the be
reaved husband and children.
Frank L. Stanton is a humorist
as well as a poet, in testimony of

a suburban street car recently:
“Dear John: This is wrote you to
let you know how all the family is.
John, we’re doin’ purty well now,
if I do say it myself. Your Uncle
.Jim had the good fortune to lose
his left leg on a railroad, and got
damages, and is now livin’ with us
and payin’ board which is a great
help to us. Your brother Bill fell
in a cellar in Atlanta an’ broke his
collar bone, for which he got $50,
and invested it in a gray mule,
which was cheap at that price.
Your gran’mother has been cured of
the rheumatism, an’ is now able to

er, John, we are well off and
mighty thankful to Providence,
which always provides.”—Stanton.
Just any old thing will burn at
Pidcock it seems. Saw mills,
plainers, dry kilns, depots, box cars,

by fire in the past, and now comes
the seemingly absured intelligence
that a water tank has succumbed to
the flames. The Plant System water
tank, though full of water, caught
on fire Monday and was destroyed,
How the tire originated is not
known but, there are strong reasons
for thinking that it was a case of
spontaneous combustion.' The fire
brigade turned out to battle against
the flames, but though there was
“water everywhere” not a drop
could be gotten to the tire, so there
was little else for the spectators to
do than witness the miracle of a
water tank burning—M o u 11 r i e

Dr. G. H. Macon & Co., Ocilla, Ga.
llazleliurst, Ga., Sept. 14.—A ne
gro of this place, Ben Hall, em
ployed about two weeks ago an old
negro named Gaskin to dig a well
for him. Gaskin began work two
weeks ago, but would stop at inter
vals for a day or two at a time, say
ing he could not get his breath, but
nothing was thought of this until
yesterday, when he called to them
to send him the rope quick. Hall
went into the well himself, carry
ing a rope and sheet with him. He
wrapped the sheet around Gaskin’s
head, but before be could get out
they were both dead. A third ne
gro attempted to go in with a chain
fastened around his body, but
swooned before he got half way,
and would have died had it not been
for those on top. It is supposed
that they struck a flow of gas.
Remarkable Rescue,
Mrs. Mrchael Curtain, Plainfield,
Ill., makes the statement, that she
caught cold, which settled on her
lungs; she was treated for a month
by her family physician, but grew
worse. He told he she was a hope
less victim of consumption and that
no medicine could cure her. Her
druggist suggested Dr. King’s New
Discovery for Consumption; she
bought a bottle and to her delight
found herself benefitted from first
dose. She continued its use and
after taking six bottles, found her
self sound and well; now does her
own bouse work, and is as well as
she ever was.—Free trial bottle of
this Great Discovery at Dr. G H.
Macon & Co. Drug store. Only 50
cents and $1.00, every bottle guar
anteed.
The horrible fate of Mr. Henry
Vickers near Valdosta, is another
demonstration that these little
country stores are regular death
traps. Again and again have these
crimes been committed, and yet the
keepers of these little stores go on
exposing themselves. The story
has been repeated “many a time
and oft,” something like this:
“After nightfall on yesterday Mr.
John Doe had returned to his home
when a negro called at the gate and
stated that he wanted to buy some
tobacco.” The rest need not to be
repeated. The Telegraph has print
ed the ghostly details of twenty
such bloody murders within a year,
It is time those who own and oper
ate country stores were on their
guard. The press of the state and
the south should warn them.—
Macon Telegraph.
