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 brand, , , stirrer-up ... stfiie -v. a oi the „ people, , an inordinately ■ r . i greedy, fussy, , fuinmg, , furious ... reaeher-out , , ' after spoils; a restless, envious, smut-scattering, demagogical, bla tant blower for county pelf; if it; 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 est from Fares; the home of style L and the men they •' F go ’most crazy •> • ovel ‘ bills they J can t pay 1 J “aisv, ’ - while the “angels w coax and smile find . coax and smile!

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. Sept. 21. Uncle Jesse. 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! Bob Wick. Reunion at Savannah.
