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.

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. — THE OLD 50UDIERS ARB HAPPY. ju ge Hargrove la Busy This Week 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 Minn., fell and dislocated her shoulder She ntd a surgeon to get it back In place a, soon as possible, but it was quite sore and pained her verv much.

It quickly relieved her and enabled her to sleep mended to many others. For sale by all 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. THE HEW STORE. 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 disabled soldiers and widows of Dooly county were received by Ordinary Hargrove Thursday, and over $3000 was paid out that duy Several more called in yesterday and the ordinary will be quite busy until alt of the cbecka have been delivered, which will be several days, The News will give a list of the names and amounts of all those re ceiving pensions in this county next week.

The News has done and is still doing a great deal to advance tho city’s every enter prise. i t t You might ns well try to build up a town by singing geography as to try to build it up without supporting its newspaper. I i t There are many improvements going on In Vienna, and in my humble opinlor. the day Is not far distant and will soon, be ushered in, when our town will have grown to be one of the fairest an-1 lovliost cities in South Georgia.
