• Things political are said to be
warming up over in our sister state
of Irwin. Candidates are quietly
erecting fences of their own, and
placing petards under those of the
opposition. Irwin’s voters never

and the bridles are off and the race
course open to all comers.—Tifton

W. W. Mayhew, Merton, Wis.,
says, “I consider One Minute Cough
Cure a most wonderful medicine,
quick and safe.” It is the only harm¬
less remedy that gives immediate
results. It cures coughs, colds,

cough, pneumonia and all throat
and lung diseases. Its early use
will prevent consumption. Children
always like it and mothers indorse
it. Ii. B. Allen A Co.
Quitman, Ga., March 27.—The
regular election to-day for mayor
and aldermen resulted in some sur¬
prise. J. R. Davis was elected over
L. S. Price by a big majority. These
gentlemen tied in the nominating
mass meeting and it was agreed to
run the race over. Joseph Mabbett,
one of the reguLar nominees, was
defeated by J. W. Hopson, who ran
as an independent, by a majority of
sixteen votes. All the rest of the
nominees were elected.
Marion Kooke, manager for T

late severe weather I caught a dread¬

my work during the day. One of
my milliners was taking Chamber¬
lain’s Cough Remedy for a severe
cold at that time, which seemed to
relieve her so quickly that I bought
some for myself, It acted like
magio and I began to improve at
once. I am now entirely well and
feel very pleased to acknowledge its
merits.” For sale by Dr. G, H. Ma¬

The Philadelphia Record says:
“The Republican party, strive as it
may against the tide, must either
abandon protection or abandon ex¬
pansion. The two policies are in¬
compatible. In the endeavor to rec¬
oncile individual greed with national
growth the party is making itself
the mock of tho world. It has ap¬
parently assumed responsibilities
which it is incapable of rightfully
discharging. It will havo a stern
settlement to make when it shall
again appeal to the country for a
vote of confidence.”

Where’s that Bad little girl wuz here?
Bad little girl’s goned clean away,
An’ Good little girl's corned back to stay.”

Home.
Editor Dispatch.—with your per¬
mission I will write a little on this
one grand thought, home'.
Correctly speaking, home as it
should be is a heavenly organization,
brought forth in the pure mind of
God, our Heavenly Father, our just
and merciful Law Giver. The hap¬
piness and integrity of any home
must depend upon obedience to the
order established by divine wisdom.
Every home in the land thus set up
lias an appointed head, while each
member has a place or a part speci¬
ally assigned in the family union.
Anyone without such place is a for¬
eigner, a stranger, and does not be¬
long to the family in the true light.
Imagine a family consisting of
father, mother and children, alto¬
gether, and no place for anyone and
no one in a place; and there is no
order, no lasting peace or happiness,
but all confusion and subsequent
trouble and may be compared to a
herd of swine or goats without any
particular order.
When God established the home,
he did certainly ordain the order by
which it should be governed. The
duty of each particular member is
clearly pointed out. The principles
or rules to be observed, that order
may be maintained by each one.
The duty of parents and of children.
Oh! how plainly it is taught, and
when violated, confusion and sorrow
is the inevitable csnsequence. Not
only of parents and children, but
husbands and wives, brothers and
sisters, masters and servants, all
have their respective places and duty
in the home, and that, too, by di¬
vine appointment.
When these God-given rules are
obeyed, good order prevails; when
disobeyed, bad order is the result.
Here, then, is the foundation for
good or bad habits, of which Elder
Sikes so beautifully wrote. The
formation of our moral or immoral
character starts right here. The
one leading to distinction, eminence,
virtue and happiness. The other to
degradation, misery and ruin. Let
us all begin at the botom, amend
our ways and shun our vices. These
principles hold good in school, in
church, in state, in society as well
as in home.
I close. Good wishes for the Dis¬
patch and readers.

Millions Given Away.
It is certainly gratifying to the
public to know of one concern which
is not afraid to be generous, The
proprietors of Dr. King’s New Dis¬
covery for consumption, coughs and
colds, have given away ten million
trial bottles snd have the satisfaction
of knowing it has cured tbuusands
of hopeless cases. Asthma, bronchi¬
tis, la grippe and all throat, chest
and lung diseases are surely cured
by it. Call on Dr. G.II, Macon A
Co. druggists, and get a free trial
bottle. Regular size 50c and $1.00.
Every bottle guaranteed.

Editor Dispatch.—It has been
some time since we put in an ap¬
pearance, for lack of sometning in¬
teresting to write, and roally we are.
short of this article now, but ven¬
ture a few linos. As I have been
pretty well over the country it may
help someone who is behind with his
farm work to know that he is not
by himself in that line, for nearly
all the farmers are in the same fix,
with few exceptions, and those few
are almost sorry they are ahead.
People are getting out their gu¬
ano and*other fertilizers in a hurry
now when it is not too wet to get
into the fields.
Our Jimmy Fletcher, of Pinetta
vicinity, has his patch of 40 acres
of melons planted. lie has bought
some Triumph seed and says he is
going to pocket that 820 offered for
the largest melon grown in Geoagia.
Ranee Goodman says if he does he
will have to have a 150-pound one.
The general expression on the dog
law question is that it is no good.
There is considerable sickness,
grippe, small pox, etc., over the
county just now.
The creeks and rivers generally
are overflowing, the Alapaha river
the fullest it has been in a long time.
We commend Bro. Sikes’articles.
Hope he will continue his good work.
Candidates are beginning to bob
up here , and .,t there I guess we will -ii
have enough to fill the offices before
the election.
What is the matter with the Dis¬
patch? It does not come regular.
We notice that the farmers are
putting in a large cotton crop again
in spite of all tho advice to the con¬
trary. People seem to think they
are obliged to plant heavily in cot¬
ton.

Spreads Like Wildfire.
When things are “the best” they
become “the best selling.” Abraham
Hare, a leading druggist, of Belle¬
ville,O., writes: “Electric Bitters are
the best selling bitters I have han¬
dled in 20 years. You know why ?
Most diseases begin in disorders of
stomach, liverkidueys,bowels, blood
and nerves. Electric Bitters tones
up the stomach,regulates the liver,
kidneys and bowels, purifies the
blood, strengthens the nerv°s,hence
oures multituds of maladies. It
builds up the entire system. Puts
new life and vigor into any weak,
rim-down man or woman. Price 50c.

A Strange Disease in Albany.
A Local scribe, while waiting for
a train at the union depot in Albany
recently, heard this amusing story
told on acountryman who had driven
some beef cattle to that market for
sale, but because of the Lon ten sea¬
son did not find a ready market. The
gentleman said:
“A countryman from an adjoin¬
ing county was driving a bunch of
beef cattle back home the other day,
and as ho was passing through a
small neighboring town was met
with the inquiry: “Why are you
taking your cattle hack home?
Couldn’t you sell ’em?”
“Well, no,” ho replied. “You
see they’ve got a disease over in
Albany what they calls lent and can’t
eat any meat for forty days, so I
had to bring ’em back home and
wait till the folks git well of it.”—

Wayne county, under a decision
delivered by Secretary of State
Phil Cook Tuesday afternoon, was
awarded the 25,000 acres which has
been in dispute between Wayne and
Charlton counties for some time.
An appeal may be made from the
decision of the secretary on the
ground that the act of the last leg¬
islature which made him an arbiter
in similar land disputes, conferred
upon him judicial powers, while the
state constitution expressly states
that the judicial, executive and leg¬
islative departments of the state
government must be kept separate.

which it affords. When speaking
of this Mr. D. N. Sinks, of Troy,

arm and shoulder. I tried numer¬
ous medicines but got no relief un¬
til 1 1 was recommended by Messrs.
Geo. F. Parsons A Co-, druggists
of this place, to try Chamberlain’s
Pain Balm. They recommended it
so highly that I bought a bottle.
I was soon relieved of all pain, I
have since recommended this lini¬
ment to many of my friends, who
agree with that it is the best remedy
for muscular rheumatism in the
market.” For sale by Dr. G. H.

A Testimonial from Old England.
“I consider Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy the best in tho world for
bronchitis,”say Mr. William Savory,
of Warrington England. “It has
saved my wife’s life, she having

six years, being most of the time
confined to her bod. She is now
quite well.” It is a groat pleasure
to the maufacturars of Chamber-
Jain’s Cough Remedy to be able to
publish testimonials of this charac¬
ter. They show that great good is
! done, pain and suffering re¬
lieved and valuable lives restord to
health and happiness by this remedy.
