In the march of progress, Irwin
county leads in this section of Geor¬
gia.
Wilcox superior court has been
adjourned to the first Monday in
July, on account of the small pox.
Our brother over at Tifton says
if everybody would join the ring it
would cease to exist. Well, what
more could you ask? Send us a fat
check for the information.
M. B. Smith, Butternut Mich.,
says, “DeWitt’8 Little Early Risers
are the very best pills I ever used
for costiveness, liver and bowel
troubles.” R. B. Allen & Co.
There aro several cases of small
pox in Abbeville and Wilcox coun¬
ty, and if something is not done to
stop it pretty soon, it will be too
late. The proper authorities should
see to this without delay.—Wilcox
Advertiser.
Lewis A.ckeruaan, Goshen, Ind.,
Bays, “DeWitt’s Little Early Kisers
always brings cerain relief, cure my
headache and never gripe.” They
gently cleanse and invigorate the
bowels and liver. R. B. Allen & Co.
We note what Bro. Herring has
to say about this writer fighting
rings (with his pen) for forty years.
If he was a widower, we might in¬
fer what his purpose was in exag¬
gerating; but as it is, we can only
lay it to some trouble in his gray
matter.
To secure the original witch hazel
salve ask for DeWitts Witch Hazel
Salve, well known as a certain cure
for piles and skin diseases. Beware
of worthless counterfeits. They are
dangerous. R. B. Allen <& Co.
It does look like some husbands
would be more attentive to their
wives. They are very much so
when “only sweethearts,” and also
that some wives would try to retain
some of their ‘‘cute little ways” after
marriage.—Adel News. It does look
so; but we guess they “talk out”
and have to appear short on atten¬
tion and “cute little ways.”
Wm. Orr, Newark, O., says, “We
never feel safe without One Minute
Couh Cure in the house. It saved
my little boy’s life when he had
pneumonia. We think it is the be6t
medicine made.” It cures coughs
and all lung diseases. Pleasant to
take, harmless and gives immediate
results. R. B. Allen Co.
The outfit of the defunct News

Where can you invest money
more more profitably than by buy¬
ing a bottle of Prickly Ash Bitters,
you get four for one. A kidney

A young man friend came into
our office and told the editor if she
was not going to get married he’d
renew his subscription to the News.
Phew! Of course not. Haven’t
time. Say, if we should get mar¬
ried before your time is out we’ll
remit all overdues.—Adel News. In
that event, perhaps the overdues
would remain in the family.
Nervous weakness or palpitation
of the heart indicates disorder in
the stomach and digestion. Prickly
Ash Bitters is a wonderful remedy
iu such cases. It cleanses, strength-
ens and regulates the stomach,
liver and bowels, removes the
cause of the heart symptoms and
builds a strong and vigorous body.

Mrs. Calvin Zimmerman Miles-
burg, Pa., says, “As a speedy cure
for coughs, colds, croup and sore
throat One Minute Cure is un¬
equaled. It is pleasant for children
to take. I heartily recommend it to
mothers.” It is the only harmless
remedy that produces immediat re¬
sults. It cures bronchitis, pneumon¬
ia, grippe and throat and lung dis-
eases. 1 twill prevent consumption.

Some School Don'ta.
Below is a list of “dou’ts found
in an Irwin county teacher’s note
book, which the Dispatch will
greatly.oblige the writer by printing;
Don’t forget to have your chil-
dren in school on time.
Don’t forget to join in the battle
to upbuild, not tear down.
Don’t forget that the progress of
the school depends lagely on what
you say and do.
Don’t forget that every word
spoken against the school in the
presence of the child is hindering,
not helping.
Don’t forget that you are the cause
of nine-tenths of B the trouble in the
school.
Don’t forget that if you will do
your duty the child will seldom, if
ever, get a whipping in school.
Don’t forget that if you pick your
child for defects you can get all you
wish.
Don’t forget that children will
exaggerate.
Don’t forget that if you visit the
school to find fault, you had better
stay between the plow handles. You
are not fit to be in company with
anything else.
Don’t forget that when you see so
many faults in others, you are as
full as Satan wants you to be.
Don’t forget that many things oc¬
cur iu school that may seem unjust
to you; but that doesn’t make them
so.
Don’t forget that when you allow
your child to dispute your word and
do as he pleases at home, he is apt
to get a dose of hickory oil at school.
Don’t forget that when you raise
objection to the teacher controling
the school, and threaten him with a
general “paint,” you are worse than
any case of the Ocilla “break-out.”
Don’t forget that fault-finding is
a very low motive. You haven’t
the principles of a moral character,
not saying anything about Chris¬
tianity.
Don’t forget to work with an un-
wavering aim. Orus.

A Fiendish Attack.
An attack was lately made on C.

Not Small Pox. But a Rash.
A West Tennessee physician ad-
vances an interesting opinion on the
diieasa that is prevalent in portions
0 f the South,and which is called small
p 0X by nearly all doctors. He con-
tends that the disease is not small
p 0X at all, but belongs to the nu¬
merous families of rashes. This
brings to mind that some first-class
physicians in other portions of the
state have taken issue with their
brethren in the diagnosis of some
cases of the disease. Down at Colum¬
bia, we recall, Dr. W.K. Sheddon,
who is regarded as one of the best
physicians in Middle Tennessee,
stoutly maintained, against nearly
all of his professional associates,
that the disease is not small pox.
There have been other dissentors to
the general verdict.
The West Tennessee physician
who advances the theory that the
prevalent disease is not small pox is
Dr. W. E. York, of Crockett county.
Dr. York does not claim to be more
wise than other physicians, and
merely gives this information for
the consideration of the profession.
In this connection it may not be out
of place to remark that one of two
things is evident—that the physi¬
cians have learned to treat the dis¬
ease more successfully, or it is not
the old kind of small pox that pre¬
vails in this state to-day. The low
death rate makes this plain.--Chat¬
tanooga (Tenn.) News.
Baulcor Hunts a Rubber.
J. R. Garrison, Cashier of the
bank of Thornville, Ohio, had been
robbed of health by a serious lung
trouble until he tried Dr. King’s
New Discovery for consumption.
Then he wrote: “It is the best med¬
icine I ever used for a severe cold
or a bad case of lung trouble. I al¬
ways keep a bottle on hand.” Don’t
suffer with coughs, colds, or any
throat, chest or lung trouble when
you can be cured so easily. Only
50c and $1.00. Trial bottles free at
Dr. G. H. Macon & Co.’s drug store.
This remedy is given by a speci¬
alist for small pox and scarlet fever:
“Sulphate of zinc, one grain; fox¬
glove (digitalis), one grain; half a
teaspoonful of sugar; mixed with
two teaspoonsful of water. Take a
spoonful ever hour. Either disease
will disappear in twelve hours. For
a child, smaller dose, according to
age.”—Ex. This remedy is said to
have never failed to cure. Then
why is it not used in the treatment
of small pox?
What’s Y*our Fac© Worth?
Sometimes a fortune, but never,
if you have a sallow complexion, a
jaundiced look, moth patches and
blotches on the skin, all signs of
iver trouble. But Dr. King’s New
Life Pills gives clear [skin, rosy
cheeks, rich complexion. Only 25c

The State Democratic Executive
Committee, which met last week at
Atlanta named May 15th as the time

nomination of candidates for govern¬
or, attorney-general, secretary of

A man who had lost his way while
out hunting, met a farmer who prom¬
ised him a night’s lodging. On their
way to the house they saw a very
ugly woman. Said the man to the
farmer: “What an ugly woman.”
The farmer replied: ‘ ‘Sir that is my
wife, besides, beauty is only skin

It is interesting to note the vari¬
ous newspaper ventures throughout
the country. There are some peo¬
ple who have no more judgment than
to start a paper at a[crossroads with
one store and a postoffice. It re¬
minds ns of a strong, stalwart negro
giving up a paying salary to bay a
craw-fish bottom and a mnle to be¬
gin farming on his own hook- It is
a craze to get the title of “Ed. aDd
Prop.” Of course failure almost
always follows such undertakings,
and if not absolute failure, it is just
a drag to get along. And one fre¬
quently sees good talent behind
these papers; but it is a light under
a bushel, for circumstances are
against him and no amount of en¬
ergy will pull him through. There
is room and a pretty 'good Hiving iu
each county for one paper, and room
in each town with from 1,500 to
ft,000 inhabitants for one. More
than this is too many, and they can’t
prosper. They may drag along; but
a man with ambition had better not
spend his best days in trying to
build up a town or community to
where it will pay. Better wait until
it builds itself up.—Moultrie Ob¬
server.
• Cheerful Liar.
“I have followed trout streams
ever since I was a boy,” said a Prov¬
idence crank, “and have tried to
solve for many years the cause of
the apparent decrease m brook trout.
Recently r-. .1 I T think I t discovered v , toe .,
cause of extermination. I was fishing
along , a , brook , near Oa.tlanu Leach,
R. I., when I saw- a large snake
with a half masticated trout in its
mouth. The action of the snake in¬
i' xrested me, and, standing quiet, I
studied the snake closely, On the
end of the snake’s tail was a sharp
bony growth like a hook, After a
few moments my watching was re¬
warded by seeing the snake glide
over to some bushes growing along
the bank and catch a grasshopper
in its mouth. The snake then placed
the grasshopper carefully on the
hookiike thing on the end of its tail.
“By this time my curiosity was
thoroughly aroused,” continued the
fisherman. “The snake crawled upon
a log that extended from the bank
into the brook and let its tail hang
into the water, In a moment up
came a trout and snapped at the
grasshopper. It was short work for
the snake to transfer the fish from
its tail to its mouth, and I had solved
the problem of extermination of
brook trout.—Cleve Plain Dealer.
Rev. W. E. Sltzer, W. Caton, N.
Y., writes, ‘ ‘I had dyspepsia for over
twenty years, and tried doctors and
medicines without benefit. I was

An Ordinary on the Dog Law.
Judge A. I. Monroe, of Morgan,
ordinary of Calhoun county, thus
gives his opinion in regard to the
dog law, in the Calhoun County
Courier:
“Ordinary Wiley, of Bibb, and
Judge Ilalsey, of Fulton, seemed to
be troubled to know when the dog
law goes into effect in their conn-
ties. The question has been submit¬
ted to Joe Terrell, who refers it to I
the solicitors-gwnersl of the superior
court. If Ordinary Wiley and J bulge
Hulsey can take time by the tail
and throw the 1st of January lie-
hind the second or third in January
(hr: 1 the dog tin .rill become oper¬ !
ative on the fust day of January,
1900; but if they cannot perform
this difficult feat, then the dogs are
safe until 1901. The question is as
clear as mud. The statute itself
seems to be pretty loose-jointed. It
was ostensibly the intention of the
legislature to protect the sheep in¬
dustry, and prevent the spread of
hydrophobia, but neither is touched
ia the law. By reading between the
lines, it appears that a registered
dog has.license to do any kind -of
devilment. The act makes the 'ordi.
nary buy the cheeks and the books
and keep books for the clogs for
four months without any compensa¬
tion, and do the purchasing out ot
his own pocket. Now, Ordinary
Wiley and Judge Hulsey have the
money to purchase with, but it is
doubtful about the ordinary of Cal¬
houn ever having the money to start
the business, if the jury were to
adopt it. The constable is pretty
well provided for; he gets 85 'cents
for all the dead dogs, to be paid out
of the money paid in by t>be live
dogs. After the constables get their
dead dog pay., and the ordinary is
paid back the money he has spent
for books and checks, the school
fund will get nothing. It seems to
be rather an unholy war against
Tige. Dogs are certainly as near
of kin to man as amy other beast.
One can notice this difference, how¬
ever—there is more dog in some
men than there is man in dogs.”
One day last week a young man,
who lives about eight miles from
Ocilla, drove to town in bis buggy.
On the route he had to cross a creek
that run nearly over the body of
the vehicle. When he reached town
he discovered that an imprudent hen
had made nest under the seat of the
buggy and had deposited an egg
therein during the trip. The old hen
was much worse looking on account
of the bath, but that did not pre¬
vent her from attending strictly to
business. She was sold and the egg
was thrown in for good measure.
