E»o DOOLY BANNER
BY RBCTVS.
CC«e»»»ee»
In mercy spare me when I do my best,
To make as much waste paper as the
rest. •
ANOTHER RAILROAD
/FOR DOOLY’S CAPITAL
Prominent Lawyer Says One Will Be
Rnllt from Hawkinsyllle to
' This Place.
The Banner belongs to no “town
click,” but is only a . countryman’s
paper publishe4 inf a town as a matter
; o! convenience to the post office. The
t ; editor is a real live “Georgia cracker,”
: with a small bit of curiosity to know
' ' the other fellow’s business,, especially
the pretty side, of the picture. I love
• to tell all about the good things that I
\ .-she and hear in the grand old county of
Dooly. She is as great as she is big,
and there are lots of things going on
in even the remotest corners that will
be of interest to the reading public—a
f^w “little” things and a lot of big
and grand things.
The prettiest and lovliest picture that
I saw in the thriving town of 1’inehurst
was sweet little Miss Mnrie Sanders
and her play-mates indulging in inno
cent childish games in the yard of the
pleasant home of Mrs. M. E. Williams.
Among the leading merchants of that
hustling little town is Messrs Williams
A Snelling and Barfield & Ilorne. Mr.
0.'A. Thompson is one of the. most
clever and progressive citizens there,
and is ever rendy to lend a helping
hand to the old Vets., who are fighting
for bread to keep ‘ the wolf from the
door.” i
I did not have time to meet and in
terview-all the clever citizens pf the
town, but want to make another visit
there in the-near future when I will
have more time to shake the hands of
those good people.
Dr. W. M. Haslnm is proprietor of a
large drug atore there, and has a luera
tlve practice. The Doctor understands
the “healing art.” nnd enjoys the con
fident^ of the people generally in that
r section. ... . •
' Mr. A.. 0. Chapman Was in town Sat
urday afternoon looking after business
matters, but was not in too l)iga hurry
to maV- Rectus fell good a dollar’s
wor$h. pMr. Chapman is an Industrious
and get-pp-and-get-tliere farmer, and is
not ashamed of his occupation.
' I spent on* night with ft^r. J. R.
Hornet who is one of the best farmers
in the “State of Dooly.” He runs ten
plows, fohr with hands for wages and
aiz on halves.' Mr, Emmet Horne is
Id-command of the field forces, and
made 20 bales of cotton to the plow last
year, and one of his croppers made 40
bales with one mule and corn enough
to do him. Mr. Horn’s laborers wear
good clothes, say they have plenty to
eat, read The Vienna News and are
contented and happy. Mr. Horne lias
an ideal Southorn home, and is indeed
one of the mo9t attractive and palatini
in Dooly county. AH the buildings are
painted snow white, and he lias every-
hing dona in a systematic way. He
has a place for everything and he keeps
everything in its plncb. He raises
yt- enough meat to run his farm, and of
course, has no “razor becks” on his
_ place. He hnsUhe very best hogs, cows
and mules. He keeps hts work (took
in fine condition, and consequently,they
are able to do a great deal of work.
When I have time to do th subject jus
tice I will tell about a beautiful bride
and a handsome six-foot groom that it
was my pleasure to meet at the supper
table at Mr-Horne’s
I took in the Quarterly Meeting at
Snow. I don’t mean to say that I
devoured all the good things that
were spread on- the table, for there
were a great multitude that “did eat
and werufilled,’’and then several trunks
full were carried back home. Ye scribe
made a motion to protract the meeting,
but was ruled out of order. The Preai
ding Elder, BrO. Morgan, is a born
prercher and his natural talent has
been thoroughly polished by a college,
•.date education. His sermon was brim
full of gospel troth and was listened to
with great attention by everyone pres
ent, His talk after dinner in the
conf&ence meeting was business like
and .to the point. He is a splendid
speaker and.on this occasion displayed
a full knowledge of business matters as
well as Bibicul things.
In next issue will tell of things I saw
at Snow after the conference adjourned
and also all the people I met of that
most hospitable community.
A GREAT DAY FOR
THE Ai & B. ROAD
Large Crowds From Cordele, Vienna and
Midway 'o to Byromiille on the
First Passenger Train.
We had quite a blow Monday, and
tho sudden drop in the temperature
hai caused me serious inconvenience.
The neighbors have failed to bring in
any wood for some time.
Mr. Herbert Grice, one of the
prominent lawyers of Wiregrass
Georgia, came up from Cochran
yesterday, und i* busily engaged in
some work in t|ie courts. Mr.
Grice says Hawkinsviile, which he
also counts as his home, will soon
build another railroad to Vienna.
—Macon News.
The above paragraph is taken
from the.Macon News, and shows
how-other people are looking at
and thinking of a matter winch
most vitally concerns Vienna and
(his section of country.
It is un evident fact that a very
strong and lively sentiment exists
at Hawkinsviile, ns well as in Vi
enna, in favor of this road, and we
hope the dajf is not far distant
when this sentiment will chrystal-
ize tnto deeds and the road built.
Mr. Grice is a prominent law
yer and man of affairs, and he has
rightly interpreted the desires of
the people of his tawn nnd he has
sufjeient foresight to see the trend
of things and the final construction
6f this road.
Such an event would be hailed
with unlimited joy by the people
here, and it would certainly be
one of the very greatest blessings
that could come to Vienna.
By Us construction,' we would
be given a water' outlet to the sea
frotn HawkinavrHe, and .the ad van
tage to be derived from-the wale
rates which it would afford would
be no small matter, indeed.
By all means build, this road.
Vienna will do her part to get it,
A SCHOLARSHIP FREE.
Prof. Powell Has Closed a Contract
With Shorter College.
Professor Ralph Powell, of the
Vienna Public Schools, has made
an arrangement with the president
ol Shorter College whereby he is
enabled to’-offer his students a
scholarship in that college.
There must be us many ns three
bona fide competitors, und nn ex
amination will be held, the student
making the best record, both ns to
scholarship and character, to re
ceive the scholarship.
The scholarship is equivalent to
$6o in’eash in payment for literary
tuition for one year at Shorter
college. Before the public an
nouncement of the. result of the
contest, the student must pay a
martriculution fee of $5 to the col
lege.
Shorter College for the educa
tion of girls is one of the best
institutions in the South, being
located at Rome, Ga. The contest
con only be entered by girls. The
matter will be watched with
interest by our people.
Thursday was u great day with
the people along the route ol the
A. & B. railroad from Cordele to
Byromville, the occasion being the
inauguration ol the Hist passenger
schedule on this part of the new
road, which-went up according to
the schedule that morning.
The train consisting of three
coaches left Cordele with several
passengers on board and Vice-
President Wudiev, Supt, Bonny-
man, Trainmaster Smith, General
and Travelling Passenger und,
Freight Agents, McFadden und
Knapp
At Vienna several more passen
gers boarded the . train including
Sheriff Sheppard, J. G. Forehand,
Walter Forehand, J. L. Lusltley
nd T. A. Adkins, Jr., of the
News, boarded the train to have
^he pleasure of making the first
trip over the new road. At Mid
way. llie first und only station be
tween Vienna and Byromville, sev
eral more passengers boarded the
train and upon arriving at Byront
vtlle, un even larger crowd from
the surrounding country und town
were found waiting to take a trip
over the road and to welcome the
coming.of the new roud and thode
onboard. It was indeed the-hap
piest crowd that we have seen in a
long time, especially Mr. John S.
Byront and Dr. L \Y. Mobley. It
was these two men that worked
the hardest to secure the new road
for Byromville, and ol course, with
a number of others there had «just
cause to-be happy, . '
The crowd was given an invi
tation by'Mr. .By rom to go up to
ore., coon) where (ef[eshptqgts
were served until the time for the
departure of the train back to Cor-
dele. Business was entirely sus
pended for the dity and Mr. Byrotn
treated a nttmbei of his friends to
a free ride to Cordele and return
with dinner throwed in at the Cen
tral hotel. It was certainly a great
day and u jolly crowd, especially
did quite a number of them have
their “enthusiasm" increased to u
high pitch by the refreshments be
fore leaving. Bvromyille.
We could not close our article
without at least saying a few nice
things about liyromville, which is
situated on a red hill and surround
ed by one of the best farming sec
lions in the county and is extremely
healthy. H has a number of resi
dences that would do credit to a
town much larger, two or three
stores, two churches and n number
of other improvements being made.
It will no doubt grow to be'a good
solid town and the News man is
glad to have hud the opportunity
of visiting the town on such a hup-
py occasion and hopes to make an
other visit soon and become better
acquainted with its enterprising
and public spirited citizens.
Work on the depot there was
commenced yesterday. The agent,
Mr. Stephens of Waycross, has al
ready taken charge of the business
at that place.
The News says hurrah for By-
romviile arid the A. & B. railroad!
The schedule to Byiomville will he
continued until the road is com
pleted to Montezuma, which will
be within the next three weeks,
when a regular through schedule
will be inaugurated.
Tile old grumbler was sitting on the
corner again, chewing-his tobacco.
This here new railroad will do this
town more harm than good, mark my
words, The young fops here air n-git-
>in J too smart—altogether too smart.
In my day and time we didn’t have no
railroads, and we got along jist us well
as they dew now,” he said ns he wiped
the tobacco juice from his chin with
his coat sleeve.

A company has been formed in the
town of Cedartown for the purpose of
building houses for people who are not
able to build them, and allowing them
to pay for them by the year, giving
them long time and reasonable inter
est. It is not a building and loan as
sociation, but involves the best features
of one. Vienna could adopt this plan
to great advantage. Nothing can bent
it as a town.developer.
The dream of my life is dawning ; the
hobby of (10) ten long years will soon he
in reality. This is a one price store
where just weights, good goods will be
sold to one and alt alike. White and black
will trade alike with the assurance of get
ting goods as cheap as anyone can sell
them; where the ignorant and the wise
will be treated alike. All goods will he

Yours to lead, not to follow,

There are many tricks resorted to,
especially by our friends, the Jew mer
chants. to secure trade. In the large
cities, a favorite trick is to stuff a good
sized-wullct full of old paper, put it in
the pocket in ono of their overcoats,
and then get an ignorant fellow into
the store, persuade him to try that
particular overcoat on, telling hint
that Col Stanton, the banker, had ta
ken the coat home to try it on, nnd had
returned it. “Place ze hands in zc
pockets and zee how yen likes him”
says the wiley Jew, and the ignoramus
runs his hands down deep into the
pockets and, of course, feels the fat
wallet, which he decides at once was
loft there by Banker Stanton, and the
trade is closed. The Jew gets three
