I have promised the readers of the
Banner that I would keep my eyes and
ears open and tell everything I saw and
heard among the country people as I
traveled around soliciting subscription,
and I am going to do my best to keep
that promise.
I sperit last Tuesday night very pleas,
antly with Mr. Lrilraj, uenr'Wenonn,
He is an industrious farmer and makes
good crops every year, ns J,he land in
that section is level and productive.
Mr. W. D. Cole 1s one of the most
successful' farmers around Wenona.
He owns a large plantation, and it is in
a fine state of cultivation. He has
good'tenant houses and consequently
has plenty oil labor io move things up
lively. Mr; Cole reads th«_Vlentin News
and the Mseon Telegraph,and keeps op
with the times. Hu makes large crops
of all kinds of produce, and is a success
ful grower of fine peaches' and grapes.
There was an expression of sadness
on the fsce of all the citizens of Wenona,
which was caused by the death of Mrs.
Kourk, a beloved and good woman, who
died on Feb. 4th. She left a husband
and son to mourn her untimely death.-
Kov. J. C. Milligan made my heart
glnd about two dollars worth before I
got half through with my “newspaper
talk.” I tried to get him to hold a
pretty school teacher that was passing
by until Icould make a dollar talk to
her, but could not hold .her “worth a
•cent." I will, however,try to paint a
“pen-picture” of Miss Mitchell’s fiour-
ilng school in my next letter,
had the jileaaure of meeting Mr,
erry, one of Dooly’s good citizens
nda hustling farmer. He was too
busy to tell me all he knew, but prom
ised to tell me "lots on things on the
iyjjs” when wo meet again.
Trenched the flourishing and up-to-
•dittc little town of Arab! on Wednesday,
and was most favorably impressed with
the town and its hospitable citizens.
The largest thing in Arabi Is the lious-
.njtnHigh School, of which Prof. Lawson
“32. Brown is is principal.. He is a ■ pol
ished, refined Christian gentleman, and
is a "brim teacher.” His school is the
pride of the town and the surrounding,
country, and bus mnde »uch nn excel-
record until its fame hns spread
throughout; the stale. Students are
there from all parts of Georgia and
some from Santiago, and the largo
building is full of bright-eyed girls and
“bay. Thera at e two largedormito.-ici—
one for the girls and one for the boys—
but they all get their meals nt table.
They hayo a feast of good things spread
before them three times ii day and at
a costto each one of the small amount
of five dollars per month and comfort
able'sleeping quarters included. The
boyseu} and haul the fire wood used by
the~school. -Competent- and efficient
teachers preside over every depart
ment of the school and it is conducted
go systematically that everything
moves nlon'g just like clock \voj;k. Prof.
Brown is certainly the right man in
the tight pintle, «>d lodging from the
.-number Of students there that are from
• long distance the people of the entire
state appreciate bis ability as an edu
cator.
The largest dealers in general mer
chandise in Arab!, is the firm of J. U,
Bedgood & Co. 1 was told.by a prom
inent citizen that that enterprising
firmnot only supplied the needs of the
town but the people of the surrounding
country for miles aroifnd. Mr. J. H.,
looks after the mercantile. interests of
the firm. Hon, K. A. Bedgood lives up
At the big end of the town, and Is
“Monarch of all he surveys.” His
home is One pf the most palatial in
8outh Georgia, and everything that
could add to the beauty of an ideal
home is in and around the dwelling of
this good man. Nothing that could add
to the comfort and convenience of his
family is left out. Every member of
the family seem contented and happy,
and take great delight In miking a
“stranger that is within their gate,"
feel the same way. Mr. Bedgood runs
80 plows altogether, and It is not nec
essary for me to say that he believes in
diversified farming and thereby not
only makes his farm seifs us taining but
& paying investment, He represented
Dooly county- in the Legislature in
1809-’07and made a record that all bis
constituency is proud of.

A. & B. TO PUT ON A
SCHEDULE THURSDAY
Will Operate Passenger Trains Between
Cordele and Byromvillft Boring
Conrt Week.
NEW ELECTRIC
WIRES GOING l)P.
Many Dangers' Experienced'by Proles-
The officials of the A. & B._ an
ncunces in this issue of the News
the adoption of a passenger train
schedule which they will-put on
from Cordele to Uyromville next
Thursday, Feb. 19th.
This action it taken in view ot the
fpet that Superior .court convenes
herd on Monday, the 23rd, inst., and
this schedule it put on to accomo
date the people who wish to come
tp Vienna during the session of
the court.
' No better or more appreciated
season could have been selected to
adopt a passenger train service and
the people will appreciate the
thoughtfulnessof the road’s officials,
Of course by having this udvun
tage, muny/ more people will be
induced to come to Vienna during
the sessions of the court than have
probably ever attended bciore, and
the rnilroud will be aided as well
as the people.
It cjn easily be seen that this ar
rangement will be mutually udvan
tageous to both the country peo
pie and the railroad.
Heretofore all those people who
-live between Byromville and this
place, and nil of that adjacent
country were compelled to come by-
private conveyance when they
wished to attend superior court
here, or came on business, and the
new schedule wilt most certainly
be heartily-appreciated by them.
By this new arrangement of the
A. & B. those who desire to come
to court, or who are compelled 'to
come on account of, being interest
cd, cun if they desire run out home
and return aguin without being
put to the necessity ot making the
long, wearisome trip by the dirt
road.,.
Work on the road is going right
ahead, the track now having been
laid beyond Byromville. If bud
weather does not retard the work,
the track will speedily reach its
destination, ns the force is making
splendid time in the work.
The frame of the new depot
completed, and the structure will
be finished without delay. When
completed it will he nn elegant
building, splendidly adopted to the
purpose lor which it is being built.

Handing Out Checks.
. Mr. T. Q, Moseley, of Macon,
will open up h general line of dry
goods in Vienna at once. Mr.
Moseley first intended to open a
furniture store, but his partner
changed bis mind at tfie last mo
ment and declined to enter the
business and then Mr. Moseley
decided to put up a dry goods
store in which he will handle
general line of-such goods to le
found in such stores.
We direct the attention of our
renders to his advertisement to -be
found on another page and bespeak
for him s liberal patronage from
the people of Vienna and surround
ing country. ,
Mrs Johanns Soderholm.of Bcrgui Falls

She ntd a surgeon to get it back In place
a, soon as possible, but it was quite sore
and pained her verv much. Her son
mentioned that be had seen Chamberlain

soreness, and (lie ssked him to bay her a
bottle of it, which be did. It quickly
relieved her and enabled her to sleep

Workmen are how busy stretch
ing the electric light wires of the
new electric light' plant, which
will soon be in complete operation
In connection with this work some
interesting facts exist. Profession
11I linemen arc perhaps dxposed to
more real danger in the perform
trace of their duty than any other
members ot any trade. Ot course,
tu the work they are doing here!
there is no danger except from the
liability of falling from the pole,
But their work in the large cit'ips
where there ure hundreds of wires
high up in the air crossing and re
crossing'each other, and some of
them currying enough electricity
to kill a hundred men is dangerous
and desperate. Many a lineman
has been taken from the poles cold
and stiff in death just because ol
one short moment of catelesness.
The most desperate work and
the work that is feared the most by
professional linemen is fplicing u
heavily charged wire, or tapping
it when, away up in the air and
perhaps surrounded by a half hun
dred or more other dangerous
wires. It takes a brave man for
such work as this. When he goes
up the pole among those wires, it
is about equal to walking into a
a nest of deadly, hissing rat'.le
snakes. On some jobs linemen go
and load up on whiskey in order to
retain their neive, so dangerous is
the task set for them.
It is said that an overcautious
man is almost certain to be killed
the first desperate job he tackles.
There is no inn in handling a live
wire carrying many thousand volts
of electricity, but this work must
be done, and the men who do it
get thc-ir $3 per day, being paid
for the risk they take as well as for
wlmt they do.
The new electric lights in Vien
na will receive 11 genuine Welcome
at the hands of the people.

Mr. Moseley Will Open a Dry Qoods
Store Instead of a Fum t :roStcrj.
The checks tor the payment of
the pensions of the indigent and

until alt of the cbecka have been
delivered, which will be several

The News will give a list of the
names and amounts of all those re
ceiving pensions in this county
next week.

ruthless world without and the mael

Among the pleasant callers at my

Prof. L. E. Brown, principal of the

pleasant caller at my office last Satur

in South Georgia, and its prospects for
tho future are brighter today than
