Ponsell brought in a wagon load of excellent sweet pota- toes Tuesday for which he found ready sale., Mrs. Ann Paulk has been visiting her daughter, Mrs. Emma Tygart, at Nashville, Since Wednesday of last week. We have it on pretty good author¬ ity that there will soon be one wid ower less in the eastern portion of the county. So mote it be. The-infant child of Mr. John II. Johnson, of Arabi, and grand¬ daughter of Mr. J. W. Farnell, of Ocilla, is dangerously ill at the home of the latter. For a while recently there was al-1 most a chicken and egg famine in Ocilla. , bow _ T both _ , are more plenti- , ful and arc bringing fairly good prices. It is said that Mr. W. E. Cole¬ man and Mr. George Mixon are get¬ ting ready to put up a firstclans gin¬ nery in Ocilla. The Dispatch wishes for them abundant success. Mr. Elbert Paulk, brother of our Warren, speut a day in town this week, shaking hands with his kin¬ folks and friends. We hope to see him come oftener and stay longer. “Well,” said a drummer, Tues¬ day, to the unsuspecting Mayor of the town, “they’ve at last found the fellow that laid Goebel out.” “Who was it?” asked the Mayor, “The undertaker,” replied the drummer. We want to chat with you before you sell your chickens, eggs, hides, etc. It will pay you. 3-16-tf. Lyte & Clixt. Deputy Sheriff Henderson’s vac¬ cinate is about to disol ve copartners¬ hip with him. Say, friends, when you are in town, call at the Dispatch office and tell us tho news. We tip our best spring hat to the handsome and well-behaved young men who compose the Brushy Creek nine. Bob Handley is restive during this rainy weather. Nothing pleases him better than to be pushing the good road work in old Irwin. “Mr. Gray” says the Minnie class will meet at Willacoochce church at 9 o’clock Sunday morning. Will they go thence to the big all-day sing at Irwinville, “Mr. Gray?” Farmer, farmer, what you a-doin’? « Waitin for the sunshine , t0 t t0 hoin ,„ How’s you.i crops and your garden sass? “All mighty sorry— except the grass.” Rain, rain, rain. The Mystic Vocal Class was or¬ ganized on the third Sunday in last month. Mr. James M. Bussell was elected chorister, Mr. T. A. Bussell secretary and Mr. Sam Wilcox treas¬ ures. Success to the olass. The venerable Judge D. M. Ho¬ gan was a welcomed visitor to Ocilla last week. Under Dr. Luke’s skill¬ ful treatment he had recovered from a critical illness, and his host of friends rejoice to know that has obtained a new lease on life. Lyte <fc Clint have added another important line totheirbusi that of owl raising. They have a pair of the horned species in rear of their store, in a cage, and these wise looking birds attract much atten¬ tion. A number of the Brushy Creek Vocal Class speak of attending the sing at Irwinville next Sunday. Prof. W. J. Royal and most of the Minnie Vocal Class will also be there. Prof. Pickard, of Tifton, one of the ablest leaders in Southwest Georgia, will take part in the exercises, It will be a great day in Irwinville. Mr. R. L. Henderson is having almost a plague of rabbits. He says there is a large place in bis oat field where these “varments” have clear¬ ed the oats oil the same as sheep. Thursday he and Mr. George Tuck¬ er, with several rabbit dogs, were to have made-war upon them. Play Ball! The baseball season opened in Ocilla Saturday afternoon with Brushy f'reek vs. Ocilla. The nine from Brushy Creek was , made up of the best young men in the ; neighborhood, viz: E. E. Dorminey, captain; If. B. Sutton, M. L. Mc- Neeso, Nas Tucker, Jack McMillan, , W. H. Paulk, Rob. Grantham, Geo. j Grantham and “Boy” Harper, j They were accompanied by the I Brushy Creek Brass Band, which , rendered several popular airs and did much, to cheer the boys on to I victory. At the end of the second inning the score stood 0 to 2 in fa- ■ vor of Ocilla, but for some cause j Ocilla’s pitcher and one or two field- ; ers were changed, and then the Brushy Creek boys completely wiped up the diamond. Six innings were played, at the end of which the score stood 21 to 10 in favor of Brushy Creek. NOTES. Col. Melvin Paulk umpired the game, aad gave general satisfaction. The usual amount of “rooting” and guying was indulged in by the friends of each team, which created merriment for the spectators. Several beautiful “flies” were nabbed by the Ocilla boys, Willie Hobbs making the most astounding catch. Fred Bruce is a born “catcher” and needs better support. Many of the fair sex witnessed the game, and apparentlp enjoyed it very much. The best of good humor prevailed, and Ocilla would be glad to have the boys come again. Married. Mr. Robert Arnold, son of Mr. N. A. Arnold, and Miss Maud Luke, daughter of Mr, David Luke, both of Ocilla, were married Sunday at the residence of ’Squire J. II. Mc- Neese, that gentleman tying the nuptial knot. Mr. McNeese lives about seven or eight miles east of town. It was a runaway match, there be¬ ing parental objection on both sides. The Dispatch hopes that the young couple may live happy and lives. When you want ready-made cloth¬ ing, shirts, underwear, etc., sec us. We may save you money. 3-16-tf. Lyte & Clint. A sirup bottle, at a soda fountain, that contains three or four distinct kinds of sirup at the same time and will give "out only one kind at a time, is a jewel of rare price. It is understood that Clint is keeper of the owls. The birds are quite fond of him, and one of the wicked boys says they look just like he does. Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Harper wel¬ comed a bouncing baby boy to their family circle on Thursday of last week. Lott just can’t keep from showing that he is a very happy man. Tuesday was a lovely day—for young ducks. It was not an ideal picnic day, however, as a grotqi of young ladies and gentlemen who went to Reedy creek for that kind of a jolifiieation no doubt ascer¬ tained. One day last week Judge Hender¬ son married a colored couple and before night issued a warrant against the groom for marrying the girl. The latter was done at the instance of the girl's father, who claimed she was not of age. ON HARDWARE, Crockery, Housefurnishing Goods, Farmers’ Supplies, Mill Supplies, Turpentine Supplies.
