Hall, of Tifton, re ceived Ills commission as solicitor of the county court of Berrien from the state executive last week. He has given the required bond and took up the commission and is now ready to assume the duties and re sponsibilities of the office.—Tifton Gazette. 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.

Lean) to govern yourselves, and to be gentle and patient. Guard your temper, especially in seasons of ill-health, irritation and trouble, and soften them by prayer and a sense of your own shortcom¬ ings and errors. Remember that valuable as is the gift of speech, silence is often more valuable. Do not expect loo much from Others, but remember that all have au evil nature, whose development we roust expect, and that we should forbear and forgive, as wc often de¬ sire forbearance and forgiveness ourselves. Never retort a sharp or angry word. It is the second word that makes the quarrel. Beware of the first disagreement. Learn to speak in a gentle tone of voice. Learn to say kind and pleasant things whenever opportunity offers. Study the characters of each, and sympathize with all in their troubles, however small. Avoid moods and pets and fits of sulkiness. Learn to deny yourself and pre¬ fer others. Beware of meddlers and tale¬ bearers. Never conceive a bad motive if a good one is conceivable.—Ex. The Mothers Favorite. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is the mother’s favorite. It is pleasant and safe for children to take and al¬ ways cures. It is intended especial¬ ly forconghs,colds,croup and whoop¬ ing cough, and is the best medicine made for these diseases. There is not the least danger in giving it to children for it contains no opium or other injurious drug and may.be given as confidently to a babe as to an adult. Sold By The Ocilla Drug Co. 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.” <Q This signature is on every box of the ronuin© Laxative Bromo=Qififline Tablet. t he remed y that cures a cold fin oae day 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.
