The penny lunch room organ¬
ized by Si, Lukes society at —DO
Clark street, Chicago, feed 12,000,
and 10 other rooms, with a capacity
of 23,000 t.6 30,000 a day, will soon
be in operation. The amount taken
in on Saturday was $-t:>, an average
of 3f cents for each cheek. Every
article on the bill of fair costs 1
cent. For 3 cents a man gets a good
wholesome breakfast, and if he can
afford 3 cents he can have a “spread.”
The McRae Enterprise says:
“Hon. J. Clayton Clements, who
lives near Spring Hill, in Mont¬
gomery county, killed a hog a few
days ago which tipped the beam at
738 pounds net, besides 200 pounds
of lard. Jle was three years old
and was a mixture of Berkshire
and Poland China breeds. He
measured SH feet in circumference.
Mr. Clements killed others that
weighed from 350 to 400 pounds.”
The richest man in the Vnited
States at the end of the eighteenth
century was George Washington,
who was worth pretty nearly a mil¬
lion dollars. Probably the richest man
today is John D.Rockefeller, whose
wealth is reckoned at $300,000,000.
Mr. Carnegie is supposed to be worth
$200,000,000, while W. K. Vander¬
bilt and William Waldorf Astor
probably come next, with over $100,
000,000 apiece. These great million¬
aires cannot estimate their own
riches within a margin of millions.
Persons who suffer from indiges¬
tion cannot expect to live long, be¬
cause they cannot eat the food re¬
quired to nourish the body aud the
products of the undigested food thoj T
do eat poisons the blood. It is im¬
portant to cure indigestion as soon
as possible, aud the best method of
doing this is to use the preparation
known as Kodol Dyspepsia Cure.
It digests what you eat and res¬
tores all the digestive organs to per¬
fect health. Ocilla Drug Co.
J A Berks county, Pennsylvania,
church,has adopted novel means to
force the members of the congrega¬
tion to pay their church dues. It has
been determined that the church
bell shall not be tolled for the fun¬
eral of any member of a family
which has not paid a stipulated sum
of dues into the treasury of the
church. When a member of the con¬
gregation dies, therefore, the toll¬
ing or the silence of the bell will
tell the neighborhood whether or
not 'that family is in arrears to the
church.
One of the most hopeful signs
for the future prosperity of this
town is the immense tracts of land
that are being cleared for cultiva¬
tion, For over three miles south
of town the new clearings reach,
while they are visible to a greater
or less extent in all directions.
This means a heavy increase in
shipments of cotton, guano and
other kinds of freight from and to
Ocilla. In fact, it would be diffi¬
cult to overestimate the importance,
present and prospective, of Ocilla
as a trading and shipping point.
Mr. M. B. Blackburn lias this to
say of the song bird in the Atlanta
News: To the soutli the mocking
bird is more than all the warbling
inhabitants of the forests com¬
bined. Unlike the nightingale, it
never tires of its sunlit home, and
never weary of its enchanting mel¬
ody. While the nightingale charms
and soothes by its sorrowful and
sympathetic refrain, the mocking
bird inspires and strengthens by its
rich hosannas of exultant joy. If
the nightingale makes one t'eel like
singing, “Come, ye disconsolate,”
the mocking bird cause you to burst
forth in that bouyant refrain, “Joy
to the word, the Lord is come!”
The nightingale is the soft-throated
comfort of ‘hearts bowed down by |
weight of woe;’ the mocking bird
the electrical qu'.-en of winged mel
ody that’ carols eternal life to a
world of hope. -

Miss Edna Cain, of the Quitman
Free Press, sounded the key-note
when she said: “The country edi¬
tors' salvation lies in printing all
the local news and looking after
collections.”
Mr. and Mrs. T. !S. Williams, of
Ocilla, with their enteresting chil¬
dren were the guests of Mr. and Mrs.
J. W. Price in Sylvester last Satur¬
day and Sunday returning home
Monday. They have relatives and
friends here who are always pleased
to see them and accord them a most
hearty reception.—Worth Local.
The stockholders of the Hank of
Ocilla are, with one exception,
farmers. The wealthiest men in the
county own real estate in Ocilla and
are deeply interested in its growth,
which is almost phenomenal, as the
town is hut three years old. This
growth is not of the mush-roomy
kind, but is solid from the founda¬
tion up.
Sore aud swollen joints, sharp,
shootiDg pains, torturing muscles,
no rest, uo sleep. That means rheu¬
matism. It is a stubborn disease to
fight but Chamberlain’s Pain Balm
has conquered it thousands of times.
It will do so whenever the opportu¬
nity, is offered. Try it. One appli¬
cation relieves the pain. Sold by
The Ocilla Drug Co.
Ocilla is located in one of the rich
est agricultural sections in the state.
The land produces long and short
cotton to perfection. A bale of short
cotton to the acre is not uncommon.
Corn, sugar cane, sweet potatoes,
Irish potatoes, and all kinds of veg¬
etables produce abundantly. The
farmers, nearly without exception,
are out of debt and many of them
have stiff bank accounts.
This season there is a large death
rate among children from croup and
lung troubles. Prompt action will
save the little ones from these terri¬
ble diseases. We know of nothing
so certain to give instant relief as
One Minute Cough Cure. It can al¬
so tie relied upon in grippe and all
throat and lung troubles of adults.
Pleasant to take. Ocilla Drug Co.--
Cochran, Ga., Jan. 19.—“This
afternoon a negro woman named
Georgia Whitfield left a small
grand-daughter locked in her house,
which was burned. A negro preach¬
er named Green Brown rescued the
child by going through the flames,
but it cannot live.” Rev. Green
Brown was pastor of a colored
church in Ocilla year before last,
and is w ell known here.
Pepsin preparations often fail to
relieve indigestion because they can
digest only albuminous foods. There
is one preparation that digests all
classes of food, and that is Korlol
Dyspepsia Cure. It. cures the worst
cases of indigestion and gives in¬
stant relief, for it digests what you
eat. Ocilla Drug Co.

The family of Mr. John McIntyre
were made deathly sick this week by
eating hog-head cheese. The cheese
had been kept in a tin pan and the
poison was probably contracted
from the tin. Every one who ate
the cheese, including one or two of
the neighbors to whom some of it
was sent, were made sick. Mrs.
McIntyre’s condition was critical,
but she is much better now—Valdos¬
ta Times. Putting hog-head cheese
in tin pans and letting it remain
there days and days before using, is
a pretty sure passport to the ceme¬
tery, if skillful medical aid is not
handy.
Dr. Anna ilatfied, of New York,
says tj^ kissing curse is worse than
strong drink. And without having
met Dr. Anna, we are betting she’s
so homely that no man ever tried to
sip nectar from her caustic lips.
Kissing is only condemned by those
unfortunates who iiave never been
properly kissed.—Albany Herald.
Nor have we met the Dr., but we
know she is up to the hardest prob¬
lem that will ever confront her—
that is, if she has set out to break
up kissing. She might as well try to
break up Mars or Jupiter or Venus
with a broom straw as to eliminate
t!)tJ Mi®* that comes with and;lingers
after a kiss . Go Way, Doctor!

Will Organize on the First.
The new board of county com¬
missioners—L. li. Tucker, E. R.
Smith and Jacob Dorminey—will
organize on the first Monday * in
February. The Dispatch, while
not favoring an increase in the
number of commissioners, for rea¬
sons already stated, yet hopes that
the new board may have a success¬
ful administration of the business
of the county, and earn thepleudit,
“well done,” from the people.
Convicts Hired
Last Monday Commissioner
Tucker received sealed bids for the
hire of the county convicts. The
Ensign-Oskamp bid was the highest
—-$8.50 per month, each, tor all
convicts—and that company will
work them hereafter.
This does not include the con¬
victs hired from the county by Mr.
R. V. Handley when Commissioner
Henderson went out of office.
These, under the stipulations of the
contract, were to work out their time
with Mr. Handley unless the county
decided to use them again on the
roads or other public work.
A prominent Chicago woman speaks
Prof. Roxa Tyler, of Chicago,
Vice-President Illinois Woman’s al¬
liance, in speaking about Chamber¬
lain’s Cough Remedy says: “I suf¬
fered with a severe cold this winter
which threatened to run into pneu¬
monia. I tried different remedies
but I seemed to grow worse and the
medicine upset my stomach. A friend
advised me to try Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy and i found it was
pleasant to take and it relieved me
at once. I am now entirely recov¬
ered, saved a doctor’s bill, time and
suffering, and I will never be with¬
out this splendid medicine again.”

Some Weddings.
On Thursday, at the residence of
L. A. Rogers, brother-in-law of the
bride, Mr. John Stevenson was
married to Miss Essie Gilleon, all
of Telfair county. Judge W. S.
McDuffie performed the ceremony.
This morning, Friday, at the resi¬
dence of Mr. J. VV. Cameron, Mrs.
Kate Love was united in marriage
to Mr. Jack Gore. Again Ordinary
McDuffie officiated.
About the latter wedding there is
some little romance. It is said to
be a case in which the bride eloped
from her daughter. Mrs. Love was
formerly Miss Shaw; she married
Mr. Clements, then Mr. Love, and
finally Mr. Gore.
It seems there was some objec¬
tion on the part, of the daughter,
so the couple gave her the slip. The
groom was eighteen years of age
while the bride was forty.
After . the marriage the couple
left for Cairo, where they will live.
