VOL 2. NO. 64. • VIENNA. GA. t WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 29, 1903- TWICE-A-WEEK $1.00 PER YEAR = 8DOOLY BANNER. BY RKCTUS. THE COTTON MILL - VIENNA MUST HAVE ■ —MIC» Among the enterprising fanners of the Pleasant Valley neighborhood, Mr. J. B. Smith is one of the leaders in progressive and diversified farming. He i&systeraatic and up-to-date iiievery detail and uses the latest farm imple ments. -His stock are the best that money can buy, and he keeps them in fine condition for work, and they nre fully able to pull the plows that go down into tbd earth for his cotton and corn. He has Ills plows to go down below where the little nubblna grow, and consequently ho always lms. a crib v full of large ears of corn. He ownB large body of level, fertile land and some of it will make 40 bushels of com and a bale of cotton per acre. Ills place is well improved in every'partic ular and his handsome new dwelling is a thing of beatlty, well arranged for comfort and convenience. He has dis carded tlio “razor back’- hogs'and “tin cup” cows, and runs on Berkshires nnd Jerseys. He nlso rttns a baby farm in connection with his other business, and it is als& a permanent success. I think if he would exhibit his crop of boys and girls at tho next State Fair, I am sure that ho would win the prizes far quan tity and quality. His girlsare as pretty as can bo, bright-eyed and very smart nnd domestic. His boys are intelligent, - energetic and have got a lot of get up- And-gct about them. Mrs. Smith lias the appearance of a 16 year old girl in' the-face, -and possesses many lovable traits of character that go to make a| true woman, the grandest and noblest ' work of an all-wise Creator. The time 1 spent with this clever family will always linger in my mind as one of tho most pleasant events of my life, r - Messrs. R. nnd R. Q. Royal are good ’ citizens' and splendid farmers in the Pleasant Valley neighborhood. They keep ahead of tho farmers Who “wait for the wagon,” .and the day I spent wlthHhem they had their plows going nt a rapid gait bedding up com land They hrnl a lot of land prepared . for planting, and were bettemp with their . work than a lot of people^ in the com- */"unity. Both of tho gentlemen read tho Vienna News and the Macon Tele graph and keop.up with the procession in every sense of the word. They make big crops of everything and enjoy the confidence of their neighbors. M. Ingram is another -wide-awake farmer and merchant. He runs three . flows, makes good crops nnd has a plenty of everything around him. He has n most excellent little wife and two sweet little babies to help him enjoy the fruits otitis labor, ' -I am indebted - to Mrr W. I. Butler for mental aid and kindness shown me. He is a hustler right, on a farm, and ho had the first land bedded up for cotton that I. have scon this season. The Vienna warehouses may look for the first bale from that section. The Dooly Banner will give a premium to the first farmer that brings a now bale of cotton to the Vienna market In 1003. Pomp Cobb is an old tlmodarkie, nnd he and his wife, Aunt Tena, are nicely quartered under ther “own .vino and fig tree.” They run two plows and al ways make , good crops of corn - nnd cotton, and now have corn and fodder to sell. They are independent to tho world, nnd are Tespected by all who know them, both white and black i'w. I. Gunter is tho widow of .. Confederate soldier who gave up his life Tor the Dost Cause, - Bho Jins a pretty homo, but has had a hard strug? - glo to raise nnd educate her children. One of hcr-sons was paralized over a year ngo nnd has been in bed ever since The widow says that with all of her troulbes the Good-Lord has never for saken her yet, and notwithstanding the hours of adversity, tho “lines have fallen to her” in many iil-isant placet, and to hear-her talk will convince tho •‘most stony hearts” that there is in deed reality in the religion of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. She is a most excellent woman and a true Chris tian. May the Jtord continue his bles sings opoq her, and tnay her last days , bo tlie sweetest, happiest and brightest uf her life. Mr. AV. T. Truluck is oqe of Dooly’s best farmers. Last year he made plen ty of corn, meat and syrup to run his -farmand gathered 15 bales of cotton, averaging 500 lbs. each, to the plow 1 spent a pleasant night with Mr Spears. He is a pros|eruus farmer uud an enterprising citizen. He is a strung advocate of good schools and is a liberal patron of the school at Adkin>’ Academy. Mi-m Kate - Uenf roe it the accomplished teacher uf that school,and is quite popular with all the patrons. One of ilo; patron, told me that if tiieir luek did not change .they were going to quit engaging pretty girl teachers and get trie ugliest 0jtt bow-legged bachelor that they could find In the county. The boy-, ail go to the Adkins Acadeihy jo hunt'wives, and have carried three teao..<;rs oil in succession. • , Mrl-V.C. Cook is an all-round farm Surely Vienna will have i ton mill ere many months pa,seil awcjD_ Since the .article published in the last issue of the News, tbe people of this little city have paitially opened their eyes to the true merits 6f the question, and one can hear on till sides'expretsions of interest and enthusiasm. It is quite as eusyfor Vienna to have a cotton mill as any 'other locality. She can offer ooe of the very best locations for such ,a plant that can be found in the state.- There will not be the slightest difficulty in giiting any amount of SPECIFIC LICENSES FOR CITY OF VIENNA cot- bave money that may be required to se cure the enterprise. That -fact is already assured. If uny person with capital wishes to invest in such an industry, we can positive ly assure him that he will be met fully half way by the people of Vienna. The people here are beginning to realize the necessity of plants of this character to the gtowth.of the town. Such industries are. the great need of this place, aad with out them Viennu may content her self to remain just what she is and nothing more. For an example of whatmay be done along this line, take Bruns- wisck, which.has just secured a $6,000,000 steel plailt. The people went after it; they want down in their pockets'—every man from the capitalist to the laborer, gave what he could and they railed $300,000 in that enterprising little city and secured-one of the largest steel plants in the United States. Most all thirfgs are possible- only a few impossible. It is pos sible tor Vienna to secure a cotton mill that will add 500 people our population and distribute thousands of dollpis annualy right here in Vienna. ' V Is not such a prospect to be eug erly sought after; is it not worth ail the time and energy it will take to secure,it. If one'chiton mill dan be secured for Vienna, then she will be safely started On_ the road to a rapid growth, and many more industries, and realizing this fact as we do, Hthe News is anxious to see it ** tnblishsd. A stone 00 a mountain side only needs n slight push 1 to send it bound!nglo' the valley below, and so it is with Vienna, . One push, such as the establish ment of a cotton mill, will be all that.is necessary to start our little city on the rond to tame arf3 for tune, add then she will go bound ing to tbe front by giant strides. Tha News can say that one man in this section i* willing atid even anxious to invest $15,000 in a cot ton mill nnd he is favorably im pressed with Vienna as a location. He commands this amount of ready money and would be glad to put it ih such an enterprise where the proper guarantees- would be made and su(licjent induceire its set forth. ThiB gentleman should receive hearty encouragement and be met half way on the proposition. It is seldom, indeed,' that such a chance as this comes to a town like Vienna, and the jnost should be made of if.

Editor Viehnn News: " I received three odpies of. tbe News apd was cOrtainly -glad to get them. They were,Just like letters from home: Ih this letter I wish to say I have po ill willagalpst any one, and if anyone harbors any hard feeling against me, I now ask you to forgive me. for it was ail error of the head and not the heart. If you tnink it will Interest your rodders, I will briefly prooee&4o state our trip. Friday evening, Jan. 0th,-we left Gprdele for the west, and arrived iti Montgomery, Ala,, at 7:66 o’clock and .left at 9‘.<15 over the L. 4 N. for New Orleans. We passed through Mobile at 3 o’clock the next morning nnd arrived at New Orleans Saturday morning at seven o’clock, leaving at noon over the Southern Pacific and orontng the Sabine river on a boat. * Now, 1 will just state that this was the “tag of war” with me. Two sleep ing cars had gone overboad tho day before, and the people wcre fisjiing the river, trying to raise them while we were crossing. It was ticklish times to see our train run aboard*a steam boat or float,- aud then go rocking and bob bing acron the groat Mississippi river. I felt then.that it was high time to 'be good and ready.. Crossing the river,. we went on to Houston, 8qn Antonio and Elpnso. The country began to appear dismal and barren before we reached New Orleiint. Great lajpts and low marshes backed off from tbe Gulf of Mexico and but few trees were seen, what few therj were being cypress swamp timber. Not a pine tree have I seen since before arriving at Now Orleans. We arrived at Houston, Texas, Sun day morning, Jan. 11th, and from there on to Beaumont, where the nil wells are plenty, and then on to San Antonio. In this country, we saw no trees except the mnskeete, which resembles a peach tree very much, and groves of them looked like great peach orchards. Herq. I began-'to see Mexicans nnd Indians among the population, and one could hnar the boys crying: “hot ta- maleai” For the first time I learned wbat this was, 'Sunday morning 1 heard the cry everywhere. . Raising my win dow, I beckoned to an old Mexican to bring me some, as I saw everybody else gulping it down. I gave him a dime, and harried to try them. One taste was enough for mysoif and boys, and I gave thorn back to him. Later in the day we passed along the bank of the Rio Grande river, and had a view to Mexico. I eould have thrown a stone nerosi in some places. I have seen mountains before and ad mired their beauty, but the scenery down this river was the grandest I have aver seen. From the riverbsnks back ward as far as the eye can see are layers of granite stone resolving at last into a huge range of mountains.
