Fivdash visited Alapa- ha Wednesday and found that town still quarantined. If your neighbor’s chickens in¬ vade your garden, don’t forget the scriptural injunction, but the chickens sumersaults just the same. Suppose we call it the “Cuban Itch?” Capt. Jeff Wilcox, of Cof¬ fee, who took part in the Cuban war, says it is a Cuban product, so we learn. Miss Vida Hunt returned from Atlanta Monday anil reports hav- ing had a most enjoyable time at the state fair. Mr. Willie Weaver handed us a five and a half pound sweet potato yesterday. It came just in time and was placed where it would do most good. Mrs. E. J. Hogan was in town Tuesday, shopping: This was her first visit to Ocilla in a year.

Mr. L. K. Tucker killed a fine turkey gobbler one day this lie was bird hunting and his p’inter set the gobbler under a log, the tin- tier part of which had been burned, as the gobbler was decamping Mr. Tucker assassinated him. ()ur J n f rien d, Alex Drew, was vaccinated some weeks ago and the only effect it has had on him has been to make him merry at the j expense of the unfortunates who cringe if you even look hard at their ! left arms. The Ensign-Oskamp Co. have purchased the telephone franchise j j from the the town fathers paid being for twenty 1100, years, sum j and are now putting up a line from ] their mill to Mystic.

The chaingang is nearing Satilla ! creek, 011 the central road, and will reach the Coffee line in eight or ten. days. The Shoo-Fly, between S» . aud Ocilla, which vacated s run on ! account of the small pox scare, goes on again to-night. Nas Paulk has a pecan tree on his place that bore a small crop of fruit this year. It is fourteen years old. Hon. J. A. J. Henderson, failing to get all his cotton ginned here, sold abont 50,000 pounds in the seed to A. P. Brantley & Co., at Black- sher, and it is now being shipped. A possum having gotten dates mixed, marched into Elder button s dining room a few nights ago to offer himself as a sacrifice on the thanksgiving altar. He was sacri- Seed. j A drummer from Texas was in Ocilla Thursday night, and speaking of the “breaking out” in Georgia, said they were never without it in San Antonio and that it is known as Mexican small pox aud never kills. Why isn’t ill' li.ipt.igtchurch Inll rung for f services the Methodist church? Mr. C. L. Dickens, of town, Emanuel county, has bought a Binal] farm in Worth county from Mr A E BasS) of 0c illa, and will move to it about January 1st. The engines of the Knsign-Os- Co. passing and repassing a number of times each day through Ocilla with food for the saw. creates the delusion that this town is a railroad center, when in fact ii is only as yet a railroad geenter. At least three-fourths of the new skin disease in Ocilla has been in Powell, Bullard it Co ’s negro quarters, out on the . edge , of , town. and yet Mr. ovvell , his . , t says bill is so far only about a fourth of what it was last year. , Mr. G. J. Harper, administrator Oil the estate of his father, H. S. C. Harper, sold yt public sale at the c0llrt house last Tuesday 1,720 at . re8 0 f j,j ne timber for turpentine purposes for *2,790.00; 2,020 acres i timber for saw mill purposes f or $3,000.00; 3,090 acres of land without the timber privilege for *4,080 00. Total amount of sale, *0,870 00. The timber for tine and saw mill purposes was sold for spot cash, the land on months’ time. Mrs. J. B. Jones, who has had a severe spell of fever, is rapidly ini- proving. There have been three or four new- eases of the “breaking out,” all negroes, since last report. Several of our citizens say tliey would swap their “vaccinate” for the small pox, if they could do so. Some of them have been real sick. Fitzgerald has raised -her quaran¬ tine, and Abbeville has done the same thing. This is sensible. It would have been more so had they not quarantined at all. Some folks are quick to “lose their heads.” Elder Sikes need have uo fears in visiting Ocilla. The quarantines have all been lifted between here and his place of residence, and the way is wide open. No, he need not fear small pox, but we can’t say as to the. widowers. Bob McDermit went possum driving recently and frightened something into a hollow tree. After vainly trying to smoke it out with his pipe, he tried a split stick. He in in in„ dovv ' succeeded bi n n a w 1 hair six inches long. He then hur- riedly took the back track, keeping one eye well to the rear, asheakeet- ed for safety. ' HarJey Hardware Co. Stoves, Tinware, Crockery. House LMisliing Goods.
