Wednesday afternoon Mr. B B.

south of town, heard the tinkling
of a tiny bell and thought the sheep

see any, and still the tinkling con¬

puzzled when his little daughter
looked up and discovered a buzzard
with a small bell fastened to its

SMALL POX.
hditoi Dispatch. I don t like this
small pox you have around Ocilla.
I want to visit my children down
there, and 1 don’t want to lie sick,
even if "it is not dangerous.”
the worst of it is being cooped up
wtth a “p^t” and catVt get away.
An J U ‘“ the lllil) * * iee,n8 10 1)0
-
manned th.eye is np end to it.
The same ‘‘pox” has been circu-
lating sparsely it), this country all
the summer, but its stay has been
lmeftn any one p!*ec, because, sent-
pnlous vigilance was employed W.
restrain it. It was confined to pest
houses, closely quarantined, am I
soon disappeared, ft caused but
little stagnation iu business on v>-
count ot pox being, in town. It was
confined to its own quarters, and
everybody kngw. where U and
of U i nlw now y lepoitu rc K>rt J in in thTctunU^ t ns count! y.
One or two cases have been recent y
reported at McRae, but it is held
under rigid quarantine, and no one
is afraid to go to McRae.. No town
or s&itfpu. have thought of quaran-
against aupthpr,, sp. far 118 *
’ uo ' v - 1 remained for ,'cilla to be
fllsl to * nl ° l *’‘ s prcdicampiit.
And 1 » sk pardon whet), I suggest
that it is., her own loose management
with thft disease that has caused it.
I learn from the Dispatch, that this
disease ha? been prevailing in Ocilla
all summer is the turpentine quar¬
ters. Some Hot sick enough to quit
wotk have gone on mingling with
other work bands, and I do not
learn that there has been any effort
to restrain the spread of the disease.
I he, only plea set up by Ocilla to
dispel alarm and prevent stagnation
business* is, that th^ disease is not
dangerous—“npne have died,” It
is not strange tljat other towns
would quarantine against it, thus
going at “loose ends,” for no one
wants to be sick and scarred up
with pox marks, ev.en if it does not
kill them: and every one is inclined
to fear that lie or she will be the
first one to die with it.
Now, Brother Hanlon, if i j
you or
the city fathers can present this pox
matter in any better shape, I wish
you would do it, for I want to.c.Qtne
d0 \vn there. Shove the pox up in a
corner, op, make the people think
vqu have.,, so the quarantines will
lift.
As for its being “sure-enough”
small pox, this is an open question
that has baffled the medical frater-
nity. It carries some prominent
features of small pox, while others
are absent. For instance, we had a
ease of full developed small pox,
bolding its victim in critical ease
for three weeks, and be came
terribly pox-marked, while other
members of the same family,
took it from him, had no semblance
of small pox and never took their
bed.
The disease is a puzzle. It is
idently a new* thing, coming in on
the McKinley expansion policy, and
may properly he called “The Mc¬
Kinley Pox ” We had the Harri¬
son Fresh,” and the “Tyler Grip,”
and now “Tlie McKinley Pox.”
And the McKinley administration
is about as difficult to diagnose as
his pox. And as for Admiral Dewey,
he now weds a rich widow in Wash-
iugton. Very well. But he will
leave it all behind when he crosses
over Jordan. M. Sikes.

A Visit to the Homo of Our Youth.
Monday morning of last week wo
started on a trip through west Irwin
to the home of our youth, passing
many good farms, some of the best
in Irwin county or in south Geor-
gio, though the section through
which we traveled is somewhat thin-
ly settled, with intervals of about
six miles between houses; However,
it looked familiar to us,.as we lived
in this part of the county when
voting population did not exceed
three i , hundred* , , r I „, he timber . . all
is
round as yet.
• .Alter passing through this sec-
tion we came to the home of Mr.
J. W. Sumner, w.th whom we had'
a pleasant chat; then continued on
to the home of our old-time friend,

Log the largest hog in Irwin county.
Mr. T. B. Young offers to bet his
chances at being the next governor
of Georgia that he has two that will
beat him. They are heavy, if the
looks and measurement of Live hogs
go for anything in weight. They
measure as follows: “Qld Boss”'—
Six feet long (to say nothing about
tail, which is eighteen inches long),
and six feet and six inches around
the girth. ‘’Little Boss”—Neither
so long nor tall, but thicker. Looks
to be almost as heavy. What will
these hogs weigh? Mr Young offers
to invite any man (editors included)
to the fish fry when he outs his mill
dam, who guesses nearest the weight
of these pigs, gross or dressed, on
the first day of February, 1900. If
you should see fit to risk one guess
on the weight of these hogs, remem¬
ber that editors are not excluded,
and guess with the full knowledge
that they (the hogs) [editorial?] will
be fed from now until killed like
lawyers. [Why killed like lawyers?]
