Man and Manner* I Describe. '
Mr. J. Wi Sledge is the old Veteran
that I had reference to in my last letter,
and.it is with genuine pleasure that I
try to carry out my promise, although
I am incapable of doing the subject
justice. He is a “Rebel” of the long
ago and is not now more than |hw
re-constructcd. He and I followed
Generals Bragg, Johnson, Joe Wheeler
through all of the late unpleasantness.
We started the “ball to rolling”'at
.. Tupelo, Miss., Inst Thursday night mid
we talked over all the “ups and downs”
• and went over all the battle-fields from
Corinth to the fall of Atlanta. He
took part in all the battles of the West
ern army and after fighting four yews
for tlio principles which he believed to
be juBt and right, came home with
whole bones. He says the good Lord
will protect his people and save the
elect from all harm—from bullets,
shells nnd fiery darts of the devil. The
night I spent with him will always be
remembered as one of the most pleas
ant events of my life. Every member
of the family seemed anxious to make
my visit an enjoyable one. The larger
boys went to a dancing party and re
ported a lot of fun. One Mr. B. got hi;
"dander up” and tried to break' up th
party because another fellow danced
with his best girl. He carried away
his three pretty sisters and thereby
left a saw mill man In tears, but he
soon git over the shock, and everything
moved along as lovely as if Mr. S. had
not.disturbed the fiddler. My reporter
says the music was first-class arid that
the dancing was up-to-date in every
. particular.
i I spent a delightful hour with the
^ excellent family of Mr. Bowen. Ills
kind lady spread a feast of good thing
before me for my dinner and loaded
. my buggy with large turnips—the finest
that ^ave seen this season, as some of
them weighed four pounds. I heri b;
tonder my thanks for the turnips, bat
no words are adequate to express the
pleasure I had with the sweet Tilth-
t Vue-eyed -babies. > >. *
F J The charming widow that I premised
<. to tell about is Mrs. W. E. Calhoun,
/ one of the best lady farmers that 1
ever knew. Everything that I saw
arprind the place was in “apple-pie
oi^e#,” and would have made soma of
our bachelor farmers blush with shame
to compare their slip-shod way otdo'ng
business with her systematic method,
of up-to-date forming, • \
Mr. Booze Christmas lives in a largo
new house, but was too busy packing
meat, drying up lard, etc., to tell rite
whether be was a one horse farmer or
a big ten horse “horny-handed son of
toll.” • •
Mr. J MTIelds Is a wide-awake,‘hus
tling farmer. He runs six plows and
owns a very largo farm of level nnd
productive land. Bome of it is heavly
timbered! which makes it very valuable.
He raises all or his plantation supplies
at home abd has his cotton crop as.a

A COTTON Mill
FOR YDMA
It Ms as if We Will Surely
Get Oue Seen
Efforts in that Direction are Being Pat
Forward With a Reasonable
Will Vienna get a cotton' mill?
That is a question ibat is now-
absorbing the interest of the peop'e
of Vienna,.
. Great inducements will be put
forth to secure such an enterprise
for this place, and we believe the
efforts along this line will prove to
bi successful,' '
'Wide-awake and enterprising
citizens^of Vienna are hard at work
on the proposition, and if good
sound inducements will bring it,
We believe We will have a cotton
mill ere many months pass away.
To say that we need a cotton
mill is already an acknowledged
filet. Just such an enterprise is
What Vienna needs to send her
bounding to the front,
* There is only one way to secure
it, itnd that is to go after it. Never
in the .world will we get anything
if we sit idly by with onr hands
clasped and dream
Action is the word; action in the
right- direction. A cotton mill
will never come to Vienna without
our earnest solicitation
Vienna will give inducements
that cannot be excelled by any town
in the state.
One prominent citizen has already
stated that he will give $1,000 and
all the lurid needed for the erection
iof the plant. This is only what
one man will do. There are plenty
of others who will go their part,
and do. their lull duty in the matter.
This is the spirit that makes a
city, and we Jiope to see it make n
city, of Vienna. If proper induce
meats can secure this enterprise, it
wilt surely come to Vienna.
We need it; we must have it,
and v^ill have it.
Vienna can offer ore of the. finest
locations for a cotton mill to be
f.mnd iri the state. This Within
itself should receive earnest consid
eration at the hands of thsse who
may be considering an investment
in such nn industry.
in _ my” imagination, on 'reaching It. . , Let ‘he whole people of Vienna
dwindled down to a small Railroad.-join together in this effort for'a
greater city and new industries,
station without, any aspiration what
ever for newspaper notoriety. After
driving Bomo distance in the . cold, I
was most royally entertained by Mr
Wilson. She has a house full of brigli
eyed children—Two young men about
grown and seven as pretty girls as e.-er
were found in a group. Iam sorry that
I did not get the names otesch one, ro
that I could glvo my readers a pen
Mr
picture of every meml
nliy,
-ofthat most
Interesting family. Mr. W. H. Wilson
is coqimandor-in-clilef of the fl ihl
ft reel, hnd with five plows he makes
tremendous crops every year and keeps
his stock In fine order.
Miss Lena Joiner boards with the
family nnd tenches a flourishing school

jdren all love her, the grown
folks too, ir they once get a look at her
pretty blue eyes; they just can’t help It.
I am indebted to Mr. lfinkins for
special favors shown me. He is an
, industrious nnd progreseivo farmer,
A; who started a few year* ago without
tiny means and by fits close attention
lobusiness, energy and perseverance
now owns a bountiful home, runs three
plows, has a lovely wife and some
sweet-little'babies. .
It wi|l make my letter entirely too
long to tell all that I saw and heard in
one issue of the Banner, so I wilt leave
the news 1 gathered from the Bleassi.t
Valley neighborhood for my next. I
will just say 1 never met a more hos
pitable people In my than those
who live around Pleasant Valley, and I
am under many obligations to them
for their kindness and their liberal
patronage given tha paper thnt I rep
resent. I will, in ray next letter, tell
of some of the bustling farmers who
make big crop* etfery year and are on
the road to prosperity. Will also write

A number of our most prominent peo*
pie were in Vienna this week attending
the quarterly session of the City court.

What a lovely day was Thursday!
After a number of muggy, rainy, cold,
disagreeable days, a real bright, sunny
day Is always an inspiration at this
season of the year, and it was a pleas
ure to people to stroll about in the
warm sunshine,'without wraps, with
whioh Thursday abandoned; and men
were happy and contented in their
shirt-sleeves as they went about their
various avocations. The newly plowed
ground, upturned to a genial sun,
smelled ns sweet as a bower of roses
The birds attuned' their carols to •
more melodious key ; care vanished
before the day’s geniality and violets
were not far away.
t t f
Mr. p. W. Reynolds, of Jerry, was
among the many pleasant visitors to
iny ofiice this week. Mr. Reynolds is
one of Dooly’s best citizens and one of
tin* must prosperous and progressive
farmers in this section. He left us a
pleasant reminder of his visit—Gl—and
it is highly appreciated." Call again.

I have found it is good to note,
The blessing that is mine each day;
For happiness is vainly sought,
In some dim future far away.

Henderson in the City court.

The City conrt was loaded with civil
business at this term, and it; took
several days to dispose of all the cases,

Wonder how the gossipers feel now?
If they are net devoid of all sente of
honor, doubtless they feel like crawling
through a key hole and stopping it up
after they get in where their “kind
dwell.” Certainly they were engaged
in a base, ignoble scheme, but the
“truth will out,”- and always shines
brighter after such characters have
tried to keep it covered up.
t t t
Tell me,' may I understand,
When I press your little hand;
That our hearts together cleave?
It Is only so, by your leave.
Now, if I presume too much.
In saying it’s by sente of touch;
Grant me pardon and reprieve,
It iis so, only by your leave.
Don’t hesitate so long,
Make it short to suit the song; s
Rhyme it to your flowing sleeve,
For it is only by your leave.
Sleeve, I said, but it is harm,
If I really meant your arm?
His shnll twine it—the sleeve;
No time, only by your leave.
Cupid makes various slips,
Some, of wliich, with the lips;
That’s fhe way, I perceive,
Fo- it is only by yiiur leave.
Yes, and you cannot go,
Just stay and hold me, so;
Adam me tbs apple—Eve,
Bat 'twos only by her leave.

The most important case that came
up' Ik*fore the City court this week was
that of the Spring Hill Lumber A Naval
Store* Co. vs. U. L. Wilson, of Cordele.

When the Atlantic A Birmingham
railway was first surveyed through
this section, it will be remembered by
all our readers that it was hot the tn-
ten.tion.0f the road officials to’ Come
through Vienna,- and in surveying the
polite for the new road, they , went
around Vienna, as everyone knows.
At this juncture a very important
incident'happened to this city Messrs.
Joseph Burns and 0. M. Heard deter
mined to mako a mighty effort to se
cure the road for Viunnn, and to
accomplish this task, they got on the
train and went to Mocori and went
Into consultation with Vice President
Wadley, of the A. A B.
So forcibly and intelligently did they
present their argument in Vienna's
behalf that they won Mr. Wadley over
to their side of the question, and he
issued an order to change the survey
so as to have the road pass this city.
These gentlemen carried this order of
Mr. Wadley’s back to Vienna with
them nnd at once presented it to the
surveying party.
So elated were the people of Vienna
over the progressive spirit and success
of their champions that they decided
as a mark of esteem arid gratitude
toward these gentlemen, to present
them each with a'Beautiful gold walk-
irigeane, and Mr. B. M. Wood was
delegated to go to Macon and select
the canes, which he did a few days ngn.
The cancs aro beautiful models
workmanship, and are made of
pure fourteen knref gold. On them is
inscribed: “Donated By The Citizens
of Vienpa,' Joseph Burns and O. M.
Heard, A. A B. Committee.”
The presentation of the canes will bn
made soon with befitting and suitabl e
ceremony by th e citizens of the tow n
whose gratitude is warmly extended te
these two gentlemen for their prompt
and effective notion in behalf of the\
welfare and prosperity of Vienna.
