Ty Ty, Ga., Jan. 20 .—Five miles
south of Ty Ty yesterday evening
Marcus Faegan fired two pistol
shots at M. Tucker without effect.
Mr. Tucker leturned fire with a
double-barrel load of bird shot,
taking effect in the back of Fae
gan’s head. Faegan is improving
this morning. The trouble arose
over a dispute about property.
There are too many amateurs'in
the country newspaper business—
mostly young men without practi¬
cal knowledge of the editorial or
mechanical work, bnt who seem to
think that they can be Horace
Greeleys or Henry Wattentions or
Ben Franklins when they can be
nothing else. A year or two
usually disillusions them, hut they
. hurt the craft while tinkering with
the business.
An interesting account of an ex¬
periment in the cultivation of
broom corn in Florida is given in
the annual report of the commis¬
sioner of agriculture of that state,
says the Atlanta Journal. For the
first time m Florida, broom corn
was cultivated last year. Only 3f
acres were planted, and the results
were highly satisfactory. The crop
amounted to nearly (12 tons, worth
nearly $4,000.
The Board of Directors of the If
win County Publishing Company
met in’ the Dispatch office last
Wednesday, and, after ascertajng
the condition outlie business, de
dared a dividend of 10 per cent.
They also issued a call for a
ing of the stockholders at the Dis
patch office next Wednesday, 30 tb,
which time a new board of directors
will be elected, and other business
attended to. All the stock should
be represented.
When an able bodied,
young man undertakes to undermine
and deprive a widow woman and her j
little children of their living, he |
must he netting very low in the scale
of humanity, and is awfully hard
pressed for a job.-Worth Local.
No young man or old man should
ever he so awfully hard pressed for
a job as to deprive a widow and her
children of a living. We believe
God Almighty’s heaviest curve would
fall upon such an individual, and it j
should. The very thought of taking
from a widow the means of making ;
a living for herself and children is
deeply repugniiat to every right,
minded man. We should help the
,
widows and orphans, and he who
does otherwise has that in his heart
which he would be better off with¬
out.
Why South Georgia Prospers
That the census of 1!>00 should
o\v that the southern part of
Georgia had increased in popula
tion and prosperity more than the
northern part during the last de
cade, was a matter of some surprise
certain quarters, but it was no
surprise to those who have watched
the course of railroad building. A
look at the map will show that the
country from the Savannah river to
the Florida state line, south of a
line drawn through Macon, is cross¬
ed and re-crossed by railroad tracks.
In some countries this might mean
little else than the passing over
rocky ledges or through desert
wastes. In South Georgia, how
ever, every rail and crosstie is laid
through land that produces results;
first, in timber, lumber and turpen¬
tine, and later in all the fruits of
field, orchard and vineyard.
The pioneers who turn the forests
and their products into gold, clear
the way for the agriculturists,
Blooming cotton and tasseling corn
take the places of pines and oaks,
and lowing herds and fat swine suc
ceed the coon and the’possum. The
small railroad station becomes a
village, and later a town, as the
forests are cleared and the lands
are tranformed into farms.
No such lands and no such cli¬
mate is to be found elsewhere on
the North American continent as
in this section, fanned by the
breezes which sweep from the Gulf
of Mexico northeasterly to the At¬
lantic. It is a rolling and well
watered land, with a soil that is
easily cultivated and rich in the
variety of its products. No won¬
der it is increasing in population
and prosperity. One cannot study
the advantages of a country from a
y
car window, nevertheless even a
casual inspection from a railway
train will show that this South
Georgia “land of milk and honey”
is being rapidly and substantially
built up.—Savannah News.
Wholesale Hog Stealing.
Rev. Eugene Sikes informs the
Enterprise that the citizens ot
Sodom district, in Montgomery
county, have been greatly troubled
by hog thieves for some time.
Nearly every citizen in that comity
has suffered the loss of nice pork¬
ers at their hands. It is an old
saying, “murder will out,” so on
Friday Mr. John Lewis Calhoun
tracked quite a large number of his
father’s hogs from the river swamp,
which had been tolled by someone.
He followed the track for some dis
tance and found the hogs bad been
put inside the field of a negro
named McLean. Mr. Calhoun then
secured assistance and made a
thorough search of the premises,
and about 1,000 pounds of fresh
pork was found hidden under a lot
of fodder in a crib, the heads of
which bore the car mark of Mr.
Henry A. Calhoun’s hogs. War
rants have been sworn out for sev
oral negroes, and four or five of
them are now in jaiL at Mt. Ver¬
non. One negro turned state’s evi¬
dence, so there will be no trouble
in convicting the gang. The peo
ple down there 8!l > r thilt their ho S 8
^ave ail been stolen; that they have
been “° ,U - from ti,ne 10 tirne from
some cause. They are up in arms
now, and are determined to stop
that thieving gang by sending them
off to the chain gang.—Telfair En

made for these diseases. There is
not the least danger in giving it to
children for it contains no opium or

Defining a Kiss.
Mayor Mims was asked at a ban¬
quet in Atlanta recently to define a
kiss. The courtly gentleman said:
“It is a noun, though generally
used as a conjunction. It is never
declined. It is more common than
proper; it is not very singular, and
is generally used in the plural and
agrees with you and me. The elec¬
tricity is produced by the battery
of the lips, which sends warm,
thrilling currents to heart and
brain, and shocks other people. A
heaven-given power by which a
man can shut a woman’s' mouth
without knocking her head off.”

A penurious policy now- pursued
by the State of Georgia, and one
that is unworthy of the empire
state of the south, is the manner in
which it defrauds county and court
officers of the costs in felony cases.
The felons are the class of people
<.hat give these officers more trouble
than any other, yet the state’ex¬
pects them to risk life and limb in
their apprehension, and then re¬
fuses any compensation, although
it takes the.se felons and hires them
at handsome figures. Such a policy
is calculated to place a premium on
crime, and to discount official vigi¬
lance. The Gazette favors paying
ail .'court, officers a salary; failing
they should be paid th.eir costs
in felony cases, and we would he
glad to see the sheriff’s and court
officers’ organizations of the state
take the matter up. We believe |
the that if a could test case be w.as made of it, j
legitimate state compelled to pay
a fee.—Tifton Gazette.
