THE Irwin Gountu Publtehlna ComiMnu, Propkiktoks J. W. Hamms, Kriilor mid .Mnmijjpr. Published every Friday nnd entered id the Ocilla postofflee as second-class mail matter. - 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. - The Dispatch is only $1 a year. 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. --• m -— 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! Many a friendship has been sev¬ ered by the price-mark on a pres¬ ent. It ¥ mutation g/^SAPARII^ I I ft J > A A A PERFECT BLOOD PURIFIER 50 . CENTS*! FOR SALE BY IRWIN COUNTY DRUG CO. 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.” Sold by The Ocilla Drug Co. 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. —Twin City News.
