—I have a friend in the Land of
(Flowers who wrote me, the other

'for him to get married and settle
•down. I think it would he better
for him to remain single and settle
—*oh, well, the machine question.
—The tongue-clatter of seandal-
doving women has forever blighted
the lives of many of their fair
■daughters. Ah, me!
—Te live at peace and good will
•on earth with all men sometimes
-seems a hard job; but it is our
foounden duty.
—-A sweet little lady friend told
•me Friday that her beau would be
in ©cilia Sunday, and that she
wanted me to say something real
nice about Tim in the paper. I-did
■not promise, and she got scorching
mad. Iler beau did not show up,
and I reckon she lias “over” got it
for both of us.
—I heard that Mr. WilLEdwards
intends te buy beef cattle over in
Calhoun county, and that Handsome
Clarence is seriously contemplating

—All, there! “My Lucius,” you’re

—Love covers a multitude of
faults; and money covers mountains
of sin and unadulterated cussedness.
—A good woman often makes a
man out of a thing with two legs
and a mustache; while the latter
more frequently causes the life-long
misery of many a good girl.
—Never ridicule a man for ap-
pearing on the streets'a little slouchy,
lor maybe his wife spends her time
•keeping a tidy and inviting home
instead of trying to make a dude
out of her hubby.
—To love thy neighbor as thy¬

—Apparently the City Dads fear
a heavy suit for damages if they
were to cut down the weeds on the
streets and sidewalks of Ocilla.
—Some people, it seems te me,
love a dollar better than they do the
friendship of a willing-to-do-or-die
friend. As for me, I prefer the
friendship of friends.
—An exchange says that a cler¬
gyman lately addressed his female
auditory as follows: “Be not proud
that our blessed Lord paid your sex
the distinguished honor of appear¬

the glad tidings might be spread the

—I hope the preachers and lead¬

church will work as hard to save the
sinners of both sex as did the ladies
of said church to raise funds for the
completion of their house of wor¬
ship.
—Let us heartily agree with the

feels it will be but'just a little while
longer ere his Master, whom he has
served so long and faithful, will say:
“Well done, thou good and faithful
servant.'” Audi am sure that when
he does cress the chilly waters he
will carry with him the love of all
wh-o ever met him, and be greeted
on the golden streets of the New
Jerusalem by hundreds of sainted
souls who found salvation through
his Christlike sermons. He has a

and how you would feel were either
treated with disrespect, ■Besides
this, the polite hoy will make the

courtesy- costs the least and brings

As it is Irwin’s time to furnish
the slate senator, it seems to us that
the man who could secure the
strongest indorsement of the people
of the county would be the man to
put forward, whether he happened
toolive in Fitzgerald or Waterloo,
Ocilla or Irwinville, or anywhere
else in the county.—Ocilla Eispatch.
Irwin’s candidate, or candidate-to-
be, who can secure the strongest in¬
dorsement of the people of the whole
district will he the safest man' to put
forward according to our notion.—-
Montgomery Monitor. We are of
the opinion that such a course would
carry with it a reflection upon the
county whose time it was to furnish
the senator, and would he a hard
hit at the rotation system. In our
judgment it would be better to let
the county furnishing the state sen¬
ator select her man in primary or
otherwise and present him to a
district convention for acceptance
or rejection. It is now too late to
carry out this plan, and the longest
.pole will unhinge the persimmon.
The state election will be held on
the first Wednesday in October and
the National election comes off on
the first Tuesday in November.

“I bad a severe attack of billions
' co ^°> a bottle of Chamberlain s
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem¬ j
ody, look two doses and was entirely .
cured,” says Rov. A- A. Power, of
Emporia, Kan. “My neighbor across
the street was sick for over a week,
had , 3 two . or three bottless , ,,, of . medi- j- ■
cine from the doctor. He used them I
|
for three or four days without relief,
then called in auothor doctor, who i
treated him for some days and gave
him no releaf, so discharged him. I
went over to see him the next rnorn-
iug. Ho said his bowels were fn a
terrible fix, that they had been run¬
ning off so long that it was almost
bloody flux. I asked him if he bad
tried Chamberlain’s Colic, Colera
and Dirrhoea Remedy and he said,
‘No.’ I went home and brought him
my bottle and gave him one dose;
told him to take another dose in
fifteen or twinty minutes if he did
not find reliaf, but he took no more
and was entirly cured. 1 think it
is the best modiciue I have ever
tried. Sold by The Ocilla Drug Co.
A general row ensued on the ex¬
cursion train which arrived at Jack-
son at 8:20 Saturday evening be¬
tween a number of white men and
negroes, in which one white man
was badly cut. Knives and pistols
played a prominent part in-the fight.
One white man came near being
dasbed headlong out of the window
for shooting his pistol in the face of
a lady. From Flovilla to Jackson
the train resembled an armed train
in a running fight. At nearly every
window some drunken man was fir¬
ing his pistol and making the welkin
ring.—Savannah News.
If you have a baby in the house
you will wish to know the best way
to check any loosness of the bowels,
or diarrhoea so common to small
Jreii- O. B. M. Holliday, of Doming
Ind, who has an eleven mouths’ old
child,says: “Through the months of
J une and July our baby was teething
took a running off of the bowels and
sickness of the stomach. His bow-
els would move from live to eight
times a day. I had a bottle c f
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy in the house and ;
gave him four drops in a teaspoon
ful of water and he got better at
once.” For sale by Ocilla Drug Co.

AValuable Book.
“The History of tlie 1‘Jbh cent¬
ury,” together with the portraits of
the great men who had much to do
with shaping as well as making such
excellent history, a book of over -000
pages, is one of the most complete and
well-gotten up books of the kind ever
placed before the American people.
It is an excellent history, its bio¬
graphical sketches of the great men
of the world, and the great mass of
other valuable information it con¬
tains, to say nothing of the hun¬
dreds of fine engravings and the
superb binding, make it most val¬
uable as a book of reference to the
student of history, as well as an or¬
nament to any library. Mr. H. W,
Bostick is introducing this valuable
book in Irwin, and we are satisfied,
from the sample copy we have seen,
that it is well worth the subscription
price.
Those who desire to subscribe can
send their names audt postoftice ad¬
dress to Mr.Bostickat Irwinville,Ga.
A copy of the book can be seen at
the Dispatch office. 2t.

As to the Cotton Estimate.
We are now engaged in gathering in-
formation which will enable this de-
■partment to give, so far as possible, a
reliable estimate at' the cotton crop, not
ouly of Geol . f , ia> but of all Ul0 cottoll .
growing states.
We cannot, however, bo ready to
mak,! P llblic thia estimate until after the
ineetiug of the Association of the Com -
. . of . Agriculture . ot the a South-
missiouers
ern states oa August 23, at Raleigh,
n. o.
It will bo remembered that, in last
September, in the face of Mr. Neill's
estimate of 12,000,000 bales, we estimated
that the crop would not exceed 9,500,000
hales.—Georgia Agricultural Depart¬
ment.
VIRTUE OF THE SOJA BEAN.
lit Is a Goad Improver of Soil and Food
For Stock.
Question.—I s the Soja ’ Bean a good
feed as well as a good restorer of worn
lands?
Answer. — The Soja Bean ranks
among our best crops, both as an im¬
prover of soils and as a food for stock,
ns will appear from an analysis takon
from the United States Agricultural De¬
partment:

As yuu will understand protein fur¬
nishes the materials for lean flesh, blood,
muscles, hair, wool, albumen of milk,
etc., and is a very important ingredient
of all feeding stuffs. Fibre is the frame
work of plants, the coarse fodders, as
hay straw, contains a largo proportion of
fibre, hence less digestible. Nitrogen free
extract Includes the sugar, starch, etc.,
ami forms an important part of stock
feed, especially the gains. Flit includes
besides real fats, wax, the green color¬
ing.matter of plants, etc. The culture
of the Soja Beau is very much like that
of cotton. The rows should be from 3
to 5 feet apart.—Georgia Agricultural
