1/ VOL I. NO 104. VIENNA. GA., SATURDAY. MAY 31,1902. TWICE-A"WEEK $1.00 PER YEAR THE SUNDAY JOURNAL Promises to Fill a Long Felt Want-The First Edition Appears Tomorrov. The Atlanta Journal has announced its purpose to begin on June 1 the pub lication of a Solidity morning edition. '1 his announcement carries with it the insurance that the Sunday Journal will I e one of the most complete, compre- I ensivc and attractive papers published in the entire country—for it is well 1 nown that when this great southern i ewspaper undertakes it executes per fectly. The Journal argues that the publica tion of its Sunday morning edition is made necessary by the growing demand for the Journal oft seven days of the week instead of six— in„dther words, a -demand for a newspaper that gives all the news all the time. The Journal 1ms gone about the pre- 1 aration of its Sunday edition with the same spirit of enterprise and liberality of expenditure that has made the Daily Journal the most popular and univer sally read newspaper in the south. It lias not only installed a new $42,000 press, but has at enormous expense siiplomented its already excellent news service I that of the Associated Press -admitted the best on earth] with the special cable service of the New York Herald, the most perfect foreign news service in existence together with all the best speeini Sunday features of the Herald, the same to appear simultane ously in thuti paper and the Sunday Journal. In addition to this its own corps of , special writers will embrace some of the best known names in the country; among them are George Ade Peter Fin ley Dunne, Bishop Candler, Sam P. Jones, Mrs. Felton, Rev. Geo. C. Smith, Historian, and numerous others. Its social news and religious departments will be special features, while its col ored comic stiplement will be thp equal of any, and the Brat ever issued by a Georgia newspaper. The Sunday Journal will be sent to regular subscribers of the “daily, at 12 cents per week—or for the small addi- tionalcost df 2 cents per week. Or it will be served by newsboys at 5 cents per copy. It goes without saying that this new piece of enterprise on the part of the Journal .meaning as it does, greatly in creased service at a mincum of incresed will largely increase the circula tion and usefulness of that great news paper. COL. HELDS SPEAKS. A special to the News from a correspondent at Sibley, has the following to say of a speech deliv ered by Col. Fields at that place: •►Col. S. R.'Fields of Cordele, made a speech ut the Sibley school house last IfiatuMay night in the hRerest of his race for representa tive. Col. Fields is u bright young lawyer and made a vote winning speech. He kept the close attention of his audience for about one hour and a‘ half, and seemed perfectly at home while speaking and made many friends while here. I think if Col. Fields is elected he will rpake Dooly a splendid representa tive. “Mr. Editor, lets send Col. Fields to the legislature, he is able, fionest and worthy. The people down here will vote for him almost .olid.” Voter. ShudJers At His Past. : recall now with horror,” savs Mail •ter Burnett Mann, of Levenna, O., .

Uncle Isaac Davis, an old and honorable r.egro who in life had many friends both white,and col ored, passed into the real beyond early last Friday morning. For a number of years Uncle Isaac had been a faithful wagoner tor Peacock & Kelly, and by his honorable career made numerous friends and set an example which many colored people would do well to emulate. Uncle Isaac had the distinction of serving both the Confederacy and the Union during the war between the states. He first served the Confederacy for two years and made a good soldier. He was then luken prisoner and piessed into service on the Union side. He was drawing a pension at the time of his demise. Dedicated to and apropos of Uncle George Sheppard’s double candidacy.

THE COMMENCEMENT A GRAND SUCCESS AT UNADILLA Under the Management of Prof. Powers and His Able Assistants, the School Has Wonderfully Progressed—Whole Faculty Re-elected. Says He Has Disgusted His Supporters A CHEAP EXCURSION From Vienna to Atlantic Beach, Florida, on Jane li-$3.25 for Round Trip. Unadilla, Ga., May 30th.—The commencement of the Unadilla high school closed with last night’s pro gramme. Rev. W. L. Wooten of the First Methodist church of Americus de livered a most eloquent sermon at 11 o’clock lust Sunday morning to an immense congregation. Monday, ut 10 it in Miss Notting ham’s elocution class gave 11 recital that was ^greatly enjoyed. The pupils aijracquitted themselves in a most creditable manner. At 3:30 in the afternoon Miss Herndon’s music class gave the' audience a rare treat in instrumental music. On Monday evening the primary department, ussisted by some of the pupils from the intermediate and high school departments, gave an entertainment that elicited no little praise. Among other good things on the program was the Chinese drill by sixteen little boys in costume and the Liliputinn wedding. Tuesday morning’s program opened with instrumental music on piano and mandoiin, interspersed with recitations from the elocution class. Then came the annual ad dress by Col. Walter F. George of Vienna. Seldom has it been our privilege to listen to such matchless eloquence, utld never have we heard a more appropriate address. Col. George represented Mercer in one of the state oratorical contests, in which he won the victory. On Tuesday evening an immense crowd assembled to witness the last exercise. Everything passed off with that ease and smoothness that showed the teachers lmd spared no pains in drilling and preparing the pupils for that oAcassion. At the close of the program Dr. T. J. McArthur innde a short talk in which he stated that this had been the most prosperous year in the history of the school, and that the board of education lmd re-elected . the entire force. Miss Nelle Thorp as intermediate teacher and Miss Louise Herndon as knusic teacher have been associat ed with the school for the past two years. They have won their way into the hearts, of the pupils and patrons. Prof C. G. Powers, as superinten dent, and Mrs. Powers as primary teacher have been identified with the school for the past year only, but in that time they have won a high reputation among the patrons, of the school, and the citizens of the community in general. Mrs. Powers is considered one of the best primary teachers in Georgia. Under Prof. Power’s able and efficient management the school has reached a higher state of excellence than it has ever enjoyed before. He is a fine disciplinarian and an excellent teacher. His family is a valuble addition to this commu nity. When the votes are counted in the coming gubernatorial campaign Dupont Guerry will be a very sick man. He has disgusted his friends and given bis enemies all-the elbow room they want to pound him good and hard. Instead of pursuing a course in this campaign to make himself friends and votes, he hus blindly and persistently bootted all his supporters away from Ilia stand ard. The first bud break lie made was to everlastingly damn every thing and everybody who did not see fit to support hiui. He seemed to think be had every man’s license to breathe the atmosphere and walk on, the earth in his vest pocket, and of course the people kicked uguinst this presumption. He stalled out by attempting to make the people believe everybody but himself wus a rascal and ought to be in the penitentiary. Not content with attacking pub lic officials in their public capacity, he ussailed their private characters, seeking to destroy their good names and standing in the state. By dragging other men into the mire of his foul calumny, he hoped to raise his own mis-shapen self to a higher plane. He has made a mis erable. failure. The people of Georgia are not so easily gulled. They have too much respect tor themselves to support a mun who is merely trying to walk into office on tire characters of the men tie has tried to slay with his treacherous dagger. They want u mun who can sliow merit of his own and give every oilier man credit for his due. They do not want a man who sees a “nigger in every wood pile who thinks the state is going to the devil and damnation unless he, and he only, stops it. They don’t want this sort <>f man for governor of Georgiu, and furthermore, they will not have him, * * • Macon, Ga., May 27, 1902. D. A.
