I Editor Dispatch: Ton recollect
1 that just two weeks ago Aunt So-j
Irony iinjiiesteil m>» to di al on; a
few lines to the old maids. And, 1
,
while Aun!_Sofy occupies a
ne«d !>laee in my esteem, and while
it is contrary to my religion to
Disc a request from a Indy, yet. I
| confess to some degree of jealousy
as to the motive prompting Aunt
From*. I am afraid there is “cat in

j a bit cautious.
Hee here. ! mist retain standing

bachelors, and I cannot afford to
^ old maids to the list. In

, ine of my rcasou i ng h, ls been to
I sustain the position of old maids— j
that is, I have reasoned against wo-
men marrying at all unless
could get uoou men, and they are
! so awful scarce that while they
j the turn of luck they cross the line
; into old-maidhood. This is partly
‘ 1he result of good sense in not grab-'
I Ding at everything that wears
breeches, merely for the sake of get-j
ting married, and partly owing to u
turn of luck. I»ut I don’t believe j
much in luck. The rigid man failed !
to come along at the right time, j
But she is none the worse for being |
and old maid. She is the same wo -1
man she was before—just ;i little
older—and many who marry young, j i
hacl better waited longer. A woman
was never in .a more dangerous fix I

then you are atuek down in a “shaek”
1 of ft j tolm . l0 nU(VC tlie children, see I
! t hem go hungry and weep over their
ruin, while he hangs around the
shops, and comes in but to find fault
about something at home. Ah, jf
women could see as well beforehand
as they can afterwards, there would
be thousands more of old maids.
And the fact is, I have heard more
demand for old maids recently by
‘ wife hunters than for young girls. •
! Yes, it is no killing matter to be an
i old maid. She has simply trod the
j pathway of safety—refused matrimony-—which to risk
’ the dangers of
I forethought and
j all evidences due a
j balanced mind.
And, by the way, Air. Editor,
! there is another standpoint from
| which 1 view this old maid question,
and I confess that this has played
some part iri causing me Ho decline
Aunt lYony's request. Suppose I
were to turn loose a shower of hot
shot on all the old maids, what do
you think would become of me?
There is not much of me at best.
Would there be even a grease spot
left to mark the place of my demise?
Good gracious! 1 may as well fall
into the hands of a gang of prairie
wolves as a gang of infuriated (don’t
make the print read “infernal”) old
maids. Yes, they would devour me
body and breeches through this very
paper! And while they gewhalloped
the spizerinktums out of me the
laugh would go off at my expense!
No, Aunt Sopbiah, let me fool
with forked lightning, but not with
a gang of old maids. They don’t
like menfolkfl much, nohow, and
you know they are always
half mad, or seem to be, and they
“strike at a noise,” like a
rattlesnake in the blind season!
Another thing about them is, they
have a good supply of ammunition
and “keep their powdei diy. Tlicii
S ,in never “snaps, but files evciy
t time and hits where they look.
And if I should say anything re
j fleeting on old maids, some of
i old widowers would raise a
equal to Gabriel’s trumpet!
If, in trying to keep out of trou-
ble, I have by any means got one
i foot in it, I take my hat off—yes, I

An Asod Gentleman Dead.
Mr. Tlirnm Williams, Sr., died at
the home of his son, near Cordell*,
Tuesday night at S o'clock, aged
eighty-four years. SI is death was
from heart failure, probably owing
to old age.
Mr. 'Vtiliams was horn in South
Carolina, October 17, 1815, and
moved to Dooly county about sixty
years ago.
He raised a family of eleven
eight boys and three girls, all
of whom are living . and prosperous.
They are Isaiah, Chesley A., of
Tift on, Hiram, Jr., Govan, Coluvn-
('., Joseph II. and Drs. J. W.
and D. .!. Williams - , Mrs. J.
Wheeler, Mrs. J. O. MoKenney and
A J. Feuu. lie lias forty-
six grandchildren and twelve
grandchildren, making the total
number of his descendants sixty-
nine. It was customary with him
and his devoted wife, who is yet
living, to have a family reunion
once a vear. at wbieh all their de-
scendants were invited,
Mr. Williams was for years
member of the Masonic order,
also a consistent member of the
Baptist church. In both he was
highly respected and generally es-
teemed. For three terms he repre-
seated Dooly county in the legis-
lain re, making a faithful and hard-
working member. By his fellow-
citizens he was honored and esteemed
for his many sterling qualities and
upright, honorable life, and the cit-
b.cns of three counties join his rela-
fives in sorrow at iiis death, although
was but the close of a long ami
useful life.

zette extends sincere and heartfelt
