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.

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.

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!

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.
