JUST FROM DOOXvVl
By a Little Enterprise Vienna Can
1 Secure It.
Since the first article on the
possibility of Vienna securing a
cotton mill was published in the
Mews, enquiries have been made
by men in other places and who
have inoney to invest, relative .to
the situation and conditions exist
ing here. We honestly believe
that With a little progressivenest
displayed on the part- of our citi
zens, ' Vienna can easily secure
that cotton mill. There are plenty
oi men willing and even anx-
xious to invest their surplus capi
tal in an enterprise of this charac
ter, and are only awaiting an op
portunity to do so.
If these men will furnish the
inoney cannot Vienna furnish them'
the opportunity to invest it? Surely
she will do that much.
We regret to have to say it, but
our people are not enterprising
enough. Each man waits for his
neighbor to make the first move.
This is our great fault. We should
not regulate our actions by those
of our neighbors, but let us as a
whole people be enterprising and
of a progressive spirit. Time and
ugain have we said this through
the columns of the News, and the
story may be comiug to he a little
old, but we shall continue to tell
and do all in our power to impress
it on trie minds of the people.
While we have been successful to
some extent in arousing public
interest on this cotton mill subject
we have failed lo ptecipitate any
action looking to its establishment
here worthy of-recording.
Why will not the people of VI
enna wake up to i opportunities so
easily within their grasp and take
advantage of them. All that is
needed is concerted action on their
part and victory will be ours.
Whether our citizens willcorrob
orate with us or not, the New*
will do its part and. with pleas,
ure, and tl Vienna fails to get t
share of the good things that ate
going around, it onnnot be said
that the News did not do it* duty
toward the town in trying to rouse
public interest.
WRONG MAN.

Sheriff Johns, of Jasper, Fla.
came to Vienna Wednesday night
to identify the negro held here oh
suspicion of being the party .who
is wanted at that place tor murdet
and robbery. One glance was all
that was necessary to satisfy the'
sheriff that he was not the right
man, and he went back home
minus his prisotier.
A few days ago Marshal Fore;
hand received a description ot
negro who had committed. a mur
der and robbery there and was
asked to look out for such a party.
On Wednesday the marshal ar
rested a negro who filled the. de
scription sent him so well that he
was certain he had captured the
right man, and he accordingly
telegraphed Sheriff Johns of the
fuct.
A* stated nbove^the sheriff came
to Vienna at once for the purpose
of identifying the prisoner and
carrying him back to Jasper if he
proved to be the right man, but
he at once declared that the negro
was not the man wanted, und he
was accordingly released.

Life’s little day to weep in,
And yet for every tear;
In desert ways and lonely,
A sense of song is near.
Though grief the heart is wringing,
Joy somewhere lies impearled;
And song Is worth the singing,
Blriee there’s a listening world.

Among the pleasant callera at my
office Monday was Mr. N. J. Urantham,
one of onr beat citisebs and a substan

One of Vienna's best and most pro
gressive eitisens is Mr v M. E. Bushin,
who, by the way, is one of Dooly’s larg*
est and most successful planters. In
an interview with him recently, the
purpose of which was to get up some
interesting datta for the special edition
of the Atlanta News, he told me that
after he had b en tax collector of the
county for a number of year*, he wbb
so diligent and attentive to the duties
of the office and collected the taxes so
closely, that the sixth year he was
collector there was such a large eurplus
of money in the treasury, there were no
taxes levied that year for county pur
poses. Such a record as that is unpxr-
aided in the history of Georgiaand will
make interesting reading matter for m
special edition of the Atlanta Nows,

Five hundred copies of the special
edition of the Atlanta Dally News will
be distributed in Dooly oounty, besides
the large number delivered by carriers
in the city and thousands of copies will
be distributed over Georgia and
throughout the United States. What

small as to say it will not do our town
good? Don’t be so little I

that you could notread the little motto

Before criticising the special edition
of the Atlanta News, read all that
will have to say about Dooly county,
Vienna and Ita citizens. If you are not
mentioned, don’t blame me, for the
opportunity is open to all free of charge.
Some few men and still fewer businesses
will not be mentioned, but it is no fault
