VOL 2. NO 46. VIENNA. GA. SATURDAY NOVEMBER 22.1902. TWICE-A-WEEK $1.00 PER YEAR VIENNA HAS BRIGHT FUTURE AHEAD NOW Her Business Men Have the Right Kind of Pluck and Energy that is Needed to Make a City. jr ; * 7 We believe that Vienna is destined to become a place of im portaace to this section in the near future! certainly the signs of the times point in that direction. With two ruilroads with which to draw trade and immigration, and a live and hustling set of business men to push her interests, Vienna shall nol be doomed to always be as small as it is at the present day ns to the mutter of population. Events ure moving along in a direction that points to greater things foi Vtennu. She is now far and away ahead of the majority of towns her size. She has public improvements and institutions that will compare most favorably with towns of twice her size. She has u public school system of which any town might be justly proud. She has a system of wuter works, end will soon have electric lights that would well be worth the pos- . session of any town in the state. * Vienna is the county seal of Dooly county, and as such is most naturally the center of the' courts end all legal business pertaining to the city and county. She it in corporated,, and is and lias always been possessed of a municipal administration which has ever been on the lookqut for her best interests and future welfare, and which has * 1 taken advantage of every conceiva- ble opportunity to further her | growth and importance. She has business houses and business men that would do credit to the city of Atlanta. Iier institutions are all, of the very first-class, and her people are always awake to her interests and future, as well as her present welfare. For an example of this fact, take the securing of the A. & B. road through this place. They said it Could not be done. Mr. Wudley “himself said the road could not come .through Vienna ; but our public spirited citizens said: “\Ve will see about that.” So Yhey pulled off their coats and went to work. VVliat did they accomplish ? Why we got the railroad, and thereby Vienna gains one of th greatest factors to her development and wealth that she could possibly 'possess. Suppose our people had sat idly by and took no interest in the matter; do you think for moment that We would have ever gotten that railroad? Well, not inu:h. It was pluck and energy that did it, and theyime pluck and .. energy that secured that railroad 1 will push this town to the front in fcKbe days to come und make of her a V' place of no smalt-importance.

THE HOLMAN COMEDY COMNY Is Booked to Play Three Nights Here Next Week, Commencing on. Monday Night. The members of the Holman Comedy Company are very ' busy just now rehearsing for their fiist nights appearance oft next Monday night. The play which they will present on that night is “A Little Princess,” and tt is satd to be one of the very best. This company promises to the people of Vienna one of the very best shows on the road today, being a company of clean, first-class actors with repu tations second to none. Some of the members of this ex* celient organization were formerly with the Bonnair Price Company, while others have arrived from the north with special engagements with the company. Those who have had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Holman on the stage are very en- thu«ai>:ic in their praise of bis ability as a comedian, and he is backed by an exceptionally strong company, including some of thg very best specialists on the stage. As we said before they will open here Monday night with ”A Little Princess,” and we bespeak for them an excellent patronage from our people. They deserve it. FREE PASS BILL KILLED. By u vote of 70 to 68 the lower house of the Georgia Legislature killed the Hall free pass bill Tuesday. The bill, which would effectually put to an end free passes and telepone und telegraph franks by the members of'the legislature and other public officials of the state, had been made the special order of the day, and had been fa- vorably reported to the. house by the general judiciary committee, to which it had been referred. About twenty-five amendments, were sent to the desk, one of which provided that the law should only apply to the author of the bill, exempting the other members und officials. This brought Mr. Hall to his feet instanter, and he declared most ve hemently that he had never . lain himself liable to such a law, nnd if he knew himself he never should. The bill has caused a flood of dis cussion in the legislature and in the newspapers throughout the state, nnd a very hard fight was made by its friends to have it pass ed . It does not seem possible that the mere granting of a free puss to an official would cause him to for get his allegiance and oath to the people. CHURCH AT SNOW CO/1PLETED. Dedicatory Sermon WIU be Delivered by Dr. Byrd, of Atlanta. The News is in receipt of an invation to attend the dedication of the new Methodist church at Snow Spring the aothofthls month. The dedicatory sermon will be delivered by Dr. W. C. Byrd, pastor of the Firat Metho dist church of Atlanta. A beautiful new house of worship has been erected by the members of the church, ana they are taking much pride in the event. A cordial invitation is extend ed to all who wiph to go, and a large audience will doubtless greet Dr. Byrd The building cost near to f 15.00Q, and Is a most handsome edifice, the erec tion of which reflects great credit on the Methodists of Snow Spring. HENDERSON JUDGE; STROZIER SOLICITOR Were Appointed by GoTernor Terrell on Wednesday—Harvard Will Be As sistant Solicitor. “ Governor Terrell, this week ap pointed Judge D.. ’ L. Henderson judge of the city court, E. F. Strozier, of Cordele, solicitor and W. V. Harvard, ot Vienna, assist ant solic'tor. Mr. Strozier was an applicant for the judgeship as well as Mr. Henderson, and Governor Terrell was compelled to make u compromise of some kind,, and this is the way he made it. It goes without saying that the appoint ments are perfectly satisfactory to the people generally. All arc good men for the respective places, and will fill the positions with honor and ability. Each of the candidates has- a host of friends throughout the county who worked for them with enthusiasm. The public was in doubt.as to how the matter would terminate, as feach man was very popular, and each of them support ed Gov. Tyrrell to his race for the governorship. Judge Henderson's appointment is for four years, while the solici tor and assistant are uppointed tor two years. ’ THE A. & B. IS STILL y -1 BLOCKED BY*5. A. L. An injunction hits been filed by the Seaboard Air Line against the Alluntic and Birmingham railroad to prevent the latter.road crossing their tracks at Cordele, and this ts the cause of the delay in beginning the work of laying the iron. To effectually prevent the A. and B. from stealing a march ou them,the S. A. L. has placed a locomotive at the spot at which the crossing is to be made, and there it stands. The A. & B. Graders were busy putting in c small fill between the crossing Thursday when a crew of the Seaboard Air Line interferred with their work und began to undo it.- Tt.ey were arrested by officers and stoppee. From present appearances, it is hard to tell wnen the matter will be amicably adjusted. It is to be hoped that the two roads will get together at once and conic to some ugrdetnent that will be satisfactory to both sides. A merchant who understands and fully appreciates the value of news paper advertising is as far ahead of his neighbor merchant who docs not as a steam locomotive is*hend of a donkey. The merchant who advertises is the merchant who always does the busi ness. He it is to whom the people go when they want anything in his linq, for they don’t know whether the other fellow has got it or not; he has never said so, and they are not going to pnt themselves to the trouble of taking it for granted. A stranger going into a strange town of which he know* nothing about, can name the successful mer chants of that town and those that do' the business by looking over the columns of the local paper. Advertis ing Is as essential to the modern suc cessful merchant as the wheels are to a wagon. DeWItt’s B Salve ForPllefs I "MARCONIfiRAMS" FROM DRAYTON. The Newa of This Ancient City Briefly Told by Our Regular Correspondent. Drayton, Nov. 21,1902.—Cane grind ings are in full blast. The farmers are fortunate in having inode a splendid crop of cane this year. With plenty of syrup and a good crop of potatoes with now and then a—but who said 'possum anyway? Mr. Pat Butler now "lullaby*” to a chubby little Miss Butler left him and Mrs. Butler by the stork Tuesday a. m. Little Miss Butler’s avoidupois is 10} pounds, and that she is a star goes without saying. Robert H. Jr., arrived at Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Stevens Monday afternoon. Mas ter Robert balances the scales at 11 pounds in a walk. Mr. John Butler, now known . as “grand-pap” visited his son Patrick Butler Wednesday. . Miss Annie 8addler of Albany, who has been teaching a fall term at this place, has closed school until January on account of business engagements, and returned to her home. Mrs. Dan Avery, of near Montezuma, is spending a few days with Mrs. Ada Holloh, who has been quite sick several weeks. And now that the season of emigra tion is on, there is constantly passing emigrants from the "red old hills" of Georgia, seeking the more fertile lands of south Georgia. The markt discontent of the laboring class, leaving the atten uated soils, the barren farms of north Georgia, seeking the rich soli—the fruitful lands of sonth Georgia, reminds us that we all have our troubles, even the poor millionaire and his brother, the multi-millionaire’s existence is disturbed by the formalities of the social function exacted by the “400.” And the penurous kings of finance nnd great captains of colossal fortunes— penurous not in the worlds goods, but beggars in happiness—have our sympa thy in their giddy swim in gay society, whom not unlike the discontented laborers on barren farms are markt by discontent. Who ever felt and enjoyed the full fruits of happiness in a super lative degree like that of the averago south Georgia farmer with his iiog and hominy, potatoes and syrup overflowing his smoke house, with the pantry filled with milk anil eggs, and—but who would be a poor millionaire.
