PLEASANT VISIT TO LAND OF “EGYPT.” Visitor Writes of a Bute in This The race for judge and solicitor of the City court of Vienna will be hotly contested one, owing to the prominence and ability of the prospective candidates. The present officers, Judge'D. L Henderson and Solicitor J. T. Hill ot Cordele, will be uspirants for re election before Governor Terrell, after he is duly elected and inaugu? rated in October. Col.

SEVERAL SMALL SCENES SCOOPED The News of Town and Comfy Culled Together for Hasty Readers. That part of our county that lies about three miles east of Unadilla, has for a good many yearn enjoyed the local distinction of being called Egypt,” from the fact that its lands are wonderfully productive, especially of the cerials. When corn and other feed stuff is scarce and can hardly be found elsewhere, this community supplies' the less fortunate neighborhoods. Having business in the old “Third Kingdom of Dooly” last Tuesday, fell in with the good people of ‘Egypt” about the noon hour and I felt in my soul it was good to be there, for these good people had prepared a barbecue and other good things for the inner man, and it is, perhaps, needless.to say I sustained my reputation as a hearty eater. That old patriarch, Judge John T. Graham, was master of ceremo niss, while his lieutenants, J. A. Broxton, Moran Shivers, Jerre Clements, Bole Mashburn and the hosts of Grahams, contributed to the pleasures and comforts of the occasion. Nothing marred -the pleasures of the occasion save the fact their neighbor, Mr. R. E, Ransom, was very ill ot fever and not expected to live Crops in Egypt are exceedingly fine. Mr. C C Graham has perhaps the best two-horse crop in the county. These people are progressive and up-to-date, and it is a real pleasure lo go among them. It is very largely this commu nity, with Judge W. B. Cone, de ceased, as its leader, that distin guished old Dooly as the most progressive and enterprising county in the wiregrass section of Georgia May these good people of “Egypt” continue to prosper and be happy and may they not forget to meet, once a year, around the Trsat Your Kidneys ter Rbsuasbsm AVhen you are suffering from rhematism the kidney must be attended to at once so that they will eliminate the uric add from the blood.

Vienna Again Victorious The second game of ball between the second nine of this city and the first nine of Pleasant Valley, was played here Thursday afternoon The Vienna boys won out again the score at the end of the ninth inning being 28 to 15.
