When a man begins to shoot off Lis mouth about county politics, some people get mad, some get dis gusted, others get drunk—the Jour nal gets that tired feeling.—Tatt nall Journal. The Dispatch owes the public pat ronage it enjoys to the officials of the county, and, so far as wo know, they have no reason to complain of the manner in which the work has been done. A Nashville boy says bis girl is changeable as a $10 bill, and the boy she had kicked added: “Yes, lier conversation does remind one of fractional currency, half sense (half cents) you know.”—South Geor gia.

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.

Come right hack, before you’re lost to us crackers. Bring a few cotton ami other factories with you. 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 McLean's Strengthening Cordial and Blood Purifier is an appropri ate remedy. Price 50c and $1 a bottle.

Judge Clem ents, at Irwinville, could have done the work for them, and he is much nearer to them than Houston county. 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 vigilant in apprehending those who would do violence to peace and or der in our community and section. There is too much idleness on the part of the worthless class in every community. Enforce the vagrant laws and put the last head of them in the pen.—Telfair Enterprise. 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.— Rochelle New Era. 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.

Walton, of Enterprise, has been utilizing the fine poplar timber in his section by sawing it and shipping it to Atlanta by the carload. lie has shipped several cars j from Buckhead, realizing from $150 to *200 on the ear.—‘Valdosta Times. 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 which read the following; The fol lowing unique epistle was found on 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 the family washin’, ; do an’ altogeth 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, engines, boilers and all manner of things have been destroyed there 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 Observer. Story of a Slave. To be bound hand and foot for yea.rs by the chains of disease is the worst form of slavery. George D. Williams, of Manchester. Mich., f ells bow such a slave was made free.

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. A word To Wlothers.
