Mr Jesse Luke, up near Irwin
ville, will sell 600 Vrt,\>hels of sweet
potatoes of this year's crop, and
from nine.acres .of rice will pocket a
snug sum. T£$se are two of his
side crops.
Yesterday Mr. Henry Roberts’
ra.uie,.broke<.lose from where he was
tied and scudded around lively with
a one-horse wagon, to which he was
hitched,. He left the body and hind
wheels at the .corner,of R. B. Allen
&»Co.’s store, and hurried on with
thie fore wheels and shafts. These
got hung on a hitching post near
the lime house, and the male went
on as if he was frightened; but he
soon quieted down after finding
there was nothing more to smash.
It is such occurrences as this that
makes it dangerous for little chil
dren to be on the streets by them
selves.
There is a diversity of opinion
among our physicians as to whether
thfcre is small-pox in Irwin. If
there is, it has been in the county
six weeks or longer, and a large
number of people, mostly negroes,
have had it, but there has not been
a fatal case, white or black. The
kind erf smali-po# reported -to be in
Ocilla is in several sections of the
county, and is believed by many to
be chicken-pox. If it is small-pox
it leaves no mark, and does not
leave its victim looking like an ani
mated corpse. No one need fear
to come to Ocilla.
The Dispatch cares not a baubee
for unearned public favor or ap
proval. Whatever it may have iii
tliis line it wants to know lias been
honestly earned. It recognises and
lives up to the fact that it must fol
low' the same lines that an individ
ual must pursue in the county to
win public approval; that if it should
become a mischief-maker; a

should apply opprobrious epithets to
those who did not vote and think
and* act as it did, it could not hope
to retain the respect and confidence
an<l support of the people, and
would not deserve it. In future, as
in the past, the Dispatch will strive
for unity and good will among all
the people and for the promotion of
their best interests.
AUNT SOFRQNY SAYS
That marriage is a success or
failure, as the contracting parties
make it.
That slie would he pleased to
have people say less about her and
her beau, unless they want to sep
)ln Uo two fond hearts.
That she looks with infinite pity
on human goslings who think thprn-
1 solves in the throes of never-dying
i love, and would prescribe for them
a dose of Mrs. Went Slow's sooth
j„g syrup.
That none but silly people con
sider themselves “above” farmers,
land their consideration is not worth
having. As for her, if she ever
marries it will be some sober,
industrious farmer, like Ed Bran
nan.
That nine times out of ten some
people prevaricate about their
rimonial intentions, and this, too,
when they know that coming events
will expose them. The truth will
wot hurt even courting folks.
That there is nothing enticing in
Mormonism. h’o sensible man
cares to possess a plurality of wives,
and no fool should possess even one.
That’s her argument against Mor
monism, and there’s no getting
around or through it.
That it lias always seemed para
doxical to her to hear people
ing fervently at short intervals to
go to heaven, and as soon as they
get sick and seem to have a chance
of starting there, to send post haste
after a doctor to use his skill in
keeping them on earth.
That no one can be a Christian
unless he or she be Christ-like. Un
til they measure up to that stan
darcl, they are only partially Christ
ians. She fervently wishes every
person on earth was a full-fledged
Christian, instead of so many being
such in name only.
That she hates to see a young
man whose face shows that he
thinks every girl who talks to him
and smiles at his gibberish is smit
ten with him. Such young men are
lacking in mental equilibrium, and
should be watched carefully until
they can be duly tried and hauled
to Milledgeville. There now!
That she hears a good deal of
talk about a certain Chicago matri
monial paper, and has actually seen
a copy of it, and read where men
and women advertise for life-part
ners. As for her, that’s one kind
of advertising she does not believe
in. The good old way is the best,
and no bow-legged beau from Bos
ton or Billvillo or elsewhere need
hope to ensnare her an d her income
in any such way.
That she is a strong believer in
culture—of the heart as well as of
the head and hands. She thinks
boys-should be taught to work and
to slave, to be gentle and kind, and
to be sure and never harbor the
thought that they will 'ever arrive
at the dignity of presiding over a
family until they learn to save what
they make and make lots. And
girls should be taught to earn their
own living and that of their hus
bands, for there is no telling what
may happen 1 in this pharisaical
world.
That, when the autumn leaves
are falling, and new-born babes are
squalling, and tho golden rod peeps
out iri vale and glen; when the katy
dids sing loudest, and ten-cent
dudes look proudest, great trouble
then is brewing in the homely
haunts of men,—for Dame Fashion
now comes gliding, with her styles
for street or riding—with the latc

Josh Jernesan Killed.
Just as we were ready to go to
press yesterday evening, several
pistol shots were heard in rapid sue-1
cession in rear of Mr. W. N.
Fiveash’s saloon. A crowd soon j
gathered in the saloon, in the rear
room of which lay Jernegan in the
tcp.oaa of dqath. The dilMttuHy was
between Jernegan and, Mr.. 1'. J.
iv.ikc, son of Mr. David- Luke, ol
tine, pjrcc.
Mr. Luke says Jernegan slapped
him in the face and then pulled a
pistol and fired at him at such close
range that the powder burned his
\ face. He was not otherwise hurt,
j though Jernegan tired twice at him,
dead man was shot in the right
breast and in the small of the back,
and lived only a few minutes.
Mr. Luke surrendered to Marshal
j 1Iayes> am \ was under arrest
^ night> awalt5ng the result of
the inqaetJt> ‘ w i lit , h i t was expected
woul(l be kol(1 on tho arrival of
Coroner Mull on the 8:30 p. in.
train.
There was no witness to the
shooting, so it is said.
Mr. Jernegan was a widower and
leaves four small children.
Further particulars next week.
Uncle Jesse Talks.
Editor Dispatch:
Kindest wishes for the success of
the Dispatch.
I nbtice that Ocilla is still on a
boom. It will soon be connected by
rail with Mystic.
Some fever and other sickness
scattered through the county, but
few of serious nature, so far as J
have learned.
Guano notes are claiming the at
tentiou of several of our farmers at
j present. 1 hope the day is not far
distant when our farmers will use
more home-made and less commer
cial fertilizers.
Dry weather is general. Out east,
on the Coffee side, it is exceedingly
dry. Mr. Jacob Harper says it is
the dryest he ever knew. Nearly all
the mills are stopped for lack of
water. Crops are badly cut off.
Cotton at least one-third. Corn not
as heavy as was once supposed it
wouM be. Potatoes, peas, rice, etc.,
all badly injured. Right through
the Ocilla district seems to be the
wetest part of the county.

NSr. Wick Drops into Rhyme.
Long, long ago, when life was
new, and thoughts of thee entranced
my soul, I little dreamed how very
few the men who can a chinch con
trol. Why, just one hug in bed
stead now defies hot water and coal
oil, while man, with sweat-beheaded
brow, swears like a trooper out for
spoil! I can’t conceive how women
can these household pests so easy
rout, while I, with every aid of
man, can only bring defeat about,
and leave the bugs to drink at will
of blood no Cracker would deny,
until each imp had drank its fill and
left the fount, full to the eye! And
just to think the bed-bug’s pater
cornes at night, also the mater, and
feeds on toes and shins and such,
nor seem to care so very much
whose toe or shin supplies the feast,
just so their girths be some in
creased. Confound the bed-bug gen
eration, and may they meet deadly
starvation!

horses from Kentucky, all well
