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. The finest apples in town at R. D.

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.

Young, Mr. Frank Pauik boasts of ..La v- 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.
