(Continued from lost issue.)
Mr. Bedgood was once a poor penny
less plow-bny and with but very little
I mm
education, but today stands in the front
rank of Dooly county's most honored
ond representative citizens. He has
raised ant/educated one family of In
telligent children, who are now happily
married. They all are following In the
footsteps of their honored father, and
the future of eacli one seems to be
bright indeed. Ills second "crop" of
babies are all now attending, school—4
at Arabl and one; Miss Fannie, at Mon-
► foe Female College'and she will grad
uate this summer. There are two biys
and two sweet little girls at home—all
\ characteristic “ehips off of the old
■j block"—nnil they' add much to the
home, Mrs. Bedgood is one of the most
I perfect ladles it lias ever been my pleas-
J ure to meet. Possessing a must amiable
disposition and all the other lovuble
traits of character that go to make a
good woman, the grandest and noblest
work of an infinite Creator. She is the
“perfeet<picture’’<if good health, and
to judge from her movements around
the house, one would think that sho is
“just swoet sixteen.” She says it is
hot her intention to even get old in her
ways if she can help it, and in that slid
sets an exnmpie well worthy of emula
tion.
Atr\ong the enterprising and leading
men of Arab!, is Mr. If. S. Pate. He is
a large dealer in commercial fertilizers,
and sells to a great many, of the good,
substantial farmers in that section. He
.has several desirable farms, and raised
sheep and cattle. Most, of his land is
rented each year, and he devotes his
» time and talent to other business
Interests.
™Mr. W H. Cribb “shot me” with a
"Vienna News dollar, 'for which ho lias
my sincere thanks. He is a hustler in
v business, and is one of the cleverest
ft men I met in that section.
» \ Afitr. tV. T. Amcrson is a Constitution
^Ean, and has been a constnnt reader of
JgJf hat great paper for a number of years.
* He also reads the best paper published
id Dooly county—The Vienna News—
and orcourse keeps well informed on
all matters of- importance that happen
in the county.
. Dr. Coxe, who is a good physician and
bnjoys the confidence of his neighbors,
says Arabl is “distressingly healthy”
just at this time, ana Prof, Brown’s
“groat army” of rosy cheuk girls and
boys are living witnesses to the truth
of tho Doctor’s statement.
I did not have tho pleasure of meet
ing Dr. McKenzie or Dr. Harvard, as
they both were out of the city.
Mr. J. IV. Dinkins, of nearCordele, is
one of the most prosperous and pro
gressive farmers in that part of the
great “State of Dooly.” Ho owns a line
200 acre farm, and under his skillful
management the production has-doub-
led in two years. He is a strong advo
cate of deep plowing and diversified
farming In genera]. He uses home
made fertilizers, and also has plenty of
“bog and hominy,” to run his farm.
He has another “farm,” which prom-
lies to furnish old Dooly with some
goed citizens, as they are all boys, and
are unnsnally bright.
I did not have time to learn much of
the progressive and hustling .city of
. Cordele. I hope, however, to ftinke a
visit there in the near future and take
in All the'*‘aJghts” of the magic city.
I spent an hour or two most pleas
antly with the hospitable family of Mr.
W.T, Bridges,.near Richwood. He is
a farmer Worthy of the name In every
sense of tho word. He makes his farm
selfsustaining and as a natural conse
quence it is a financial success. His
stock are in Splendid condition and he
lives on the “fat of the land.” He is a
handsome young (?) widower, but does
not deed a “housekeeper,” as he ha*
two pretty daughters who are excel
lent housekeepers. They are very do
mestic and industrious, and also cul
tured and polished.
In Saturday’s issue I will tell what I
saw and heard last week at Pinehurst,
• Unodiila, Snow and other places.

BY A FALLING TREE
YOUNG BOY IS KILLED
Tbe Fourteen Year Old Son of Hr. Llge
Late Monday afternoon during
the fierce wind and rain storm that
swept over this section fames Blry-
nnt, the 14 year old son of Mr. Lige
Bryant, was killed by a tailing tree,
while on bis way from 'school at
Sandy Mount to his home, libnut
three miles from Vienna.
The boy had left the school
house,school having been dismissed
and started to his home which was
sbtne distance away. His father,
fearing for his safety, in the (errif-
fic wind storm which was raging,
left his home and set out to meet
hi* soil, which he did on the road
between the school house and -his
home.
After meeting, (lie two turned
and started lor their home and
while walking along the road near
some trees, M|r Bryant heard one
of the trees crack ns if breaking
under the heavy wind, and he ut
tered a cry of warning to iiis son
to get out of danger.
As fate would have it, young
Bryant, in his excitement, and not
knowing the exact cause of the
threatened danger.instead of runing
away froln it, he ran directly under
11 failing tree which had given way
to the mighty power of the fierce
wind, and his young life was
crushed out- before the eyes of his
horrified father.
NARROW ESCAPE OF LITTLE BABY
Run Over by a Loafed Wagon but is
Not Seriously Hurt.
Monday morning the a-yenr old
child of John H. Powell was run
over by a loaded onc-liorse wagon
at his home a few miles below
town, and at first is was thought
the child was dead, but she soon
revived and is now perfectly well
und sound after her narrow escape.
Mr. Powell tqus engaged in
hauling manure, and the child was
playing around the wagon. Not
noticing it particularly, he starred
tlft), wagon, und before he knew
anything wns wrong, the wheels
of the heavily loaded wagon had
passed over the little tot’s body.
She was picked up by her terri
fied parents and gave every ap
pearance of being dead. Dr. C.
T. Stovall was hastily summoned,
and it was found that no injuites
had -been, sustained, and very soon
the child was up and playing
about as usual.
THE WIND DOES MUCH DAMAQE
Strikes Vienna with Full Force—Blows
Down a House and Lot of Fences.
The heavy wind storm which
visited Vienna Monday afternoon
did u good deal of damage. A new
dwelling house belonging to Dr.
C. T. Stovall which stood east of
the city beyond the Georgia South
ern tiucks was blown down.. The
house had just been completed.
The wind ul«o stmek the house
of Col. M. P. Hall with such force
as to blow down one of the chiin
neys. Not yet satisfied with its
work it upset several fences over
town and pptooted one or more
trees. ,
But tbe most cruel “blow” his
majesty dealt Vienna was to blow
one of the faces of the court house
“clock” out of its receptacle and
now we are forced to go without
the time of day. This was surely
the cruelest cut of all.

Talk about your balmy spring weath-
-. We have been having it for the
'past fewdays as sure as you live.
Since the above was in type, a regu
lar howling blizzard has’struck us.
It’s nbont time some crack-brained
crank was predicting the end of the
world. It lias been some time sincu
we have had such a prediction.
We are getting more thnn our share
of the falling liquid these days.
Oh, golly man! When us old niggers
gits us a pension, while trnsh better
look out. Us and Morse Hanna will
•ho be de real thing.
Last week I received a telegram
from my old friend, Grover Cleveland
asking me what I would do if werehim
about running for president next time,
J.wrote him as follows: “Grover, don’t
do It,” says I. You’ve done got your
pile, and why not be contented? You
mode the greutest president we have
ever had in one sense—you git rich
jbigt of the office, mid, that is more than
any other man lias ever done. So I
say, let well enough alono and lie
still."
A fellow naked me the other day
what to do for corns. I told him to .go
off and soak his head until lie got suf
ficient sense 'enough into it to quit
wearing a number six shoe on a num
ber ten foot, anil then come back and I
would talk to him.
I wish to say to the ladies that if
bustles do come back in fashion they
can secure nil the old papers they want
at the News office at ten cents per
hundred. ,,
A COLD SNAP IS HERE.
Reached Vienna Late Monday Night—
Blizzard Raging in the North.
The people of Vienna awoke
yesterday morning to find one of
the coldest snaps of weather raging
that has been felt here this winter,
In fact it is thecoldest weather we
have hud, during the entire winter.
All day Monday the sky waAover
cast with dark, fleeing clouds and
the wind gained great velocity at
times. Ruin fell off and on nil day
and up anti! night, and then it
begun to tnrn cold rapidly from six
o’clock until’niqf o’clock the tern
pernture fell by leaps, and the sud
den change was felt keenly, Early
yesterday morning a few flakes of
snow fell, but the sun was sinning
brightly. A general blizzard is
raging in the northern and eastern
states and it is probably of it that
we feel here.
The weather blircnu predicted a
drop of twenty degrees, for Mon
day night, und it is safe to say thut
they did not miss it far.
Reports from the north say peo
ple are freezing to death there and
the hind is in the grasp of a raging
blizzard with snow and sleet. We
should be thankful (hat we live in
ithe land of sunshine.
An old-grumbler wns sitting on the
corner as usual. "Whnt’s this I hear
about a cotton mill,” he said. “Bosh,
all bosh; who wants a cotton mill here;
we’ve got more things here now than
we can tend to. IVhat’s the use to be
always talking about eomething new.
The old things suit me. I’ve been
living here for.ty years and we’ve got
along without ’em that long, and I
guess wo can continue. They just vjnnt
to git up something to swindlo some
body. I know ’em. But they don’t
swindle me. No siree, you bet your
life they wont. , I wouldn’t give them
nairy rad cent to squander,” and he
squirted a stream of tobacco juice
Across Hie street and tried to look wise.
His wife was then at home chopping
the wood.'
