SUPERIOR COURT
IS NOW IN SESSION
• I have found n number of men in
Dooly who started out in life without
n dollar and by hard work, and honest
endeavor and perseverance have
reached the point of independence in
life, and are now enjoying the fruits of
their labors. 1
Among the independent and repre
sentative farmers of Findlay nre
F. A. Peavy, Mnlnchi Bowen and G. I.
Herring. Mr. Peavy owns a large body
of productive land, and it is in a very
fine state of cultivation. He is a great
advocate of diversified farming, and ns
one, it is needless to say that his farm
is a splendid success in every sense of
the word. Ho made fifteen hales of
Cotton to the plow last year and plenty
of everything else, “hog and hominy,”
• included, to run the farm this year.
He hns a number of fruit trees and
grape vines of a splendid variety that
bid fair to be remunerative to a large
extent in another year or so. His baby
■ farm—five acres—is decidedly magnifi
cent success and he hns five ns
pretty girl babies ns there are to be
found anywhere in’the state of Georgia.
Mrs. Peavy is indeed, a help-mate, and
is u charming hostess.
Capt. Herring hns a pleasant pretty
home, and hns a four-horse farm of as
good land ns there is in Dooly County.
He is not an “all-cotton” man by any
means, and mnkes his farm self-sus
taining. His “girls” are all boys, and
they bid fair to make citizens that their
county will feel proud of. Mrs. Her
ring is the real sunshine of that loveljti
country home, and her kindness to
visitors makes them feel Hint it i3
“good to be there.”

former, who is not afraid of worn and
of - course always makes good crops.
He raises his ment and syrup, and also

turnlsLhis family with all the milk and

hoy can use and some to'sell.
His entire family seemed wrapped up
' in business and all are energetic and
industrious.
I met a largo number of good farmers
who made me glndn dollar’s w orth, and
made me feel like that the lines are
falling to me in ma‘ny P pleasant places
In the grand old county of Dooly. Thry
said they did not have time to tell ttttr
anything for publication, but wanted to
know what the oilier fellows were doing
and were satisfied that the Dooly Ban
ner could keep t lie in posted.
It was my good pleasure to meet Dr.
,W. E, Beaolmm, of Pinehurst, who is a
, ' pmmlnmii Hnntl.i and unfiuentiul citi-
* sen of that hospitable little town. The
Doctor has a beautiful home in the
most valuable part of that hustling
town, and bo lias every convenience
necessary for the comfort and happiness
for his estimable family. The inside ol
the home has a pleasant, palatible ap
pearance and everything is arranged in
tin artistic and unique manner that
reflects mucii credit upon his nminble
Wife. Mrs. Beacliam is n domestic, in
telligent and polished lady and is one
of the best house-keepers I ever knew.
The Doctor enjoys the confidence of the
people and docs a lage practice in den
tistry.
I am fully convinced that Pinehurst
has some “legislative timber.” and it
would bo a pleasure to me to support a
good man from that thriving town.
(To be concluded in next issue)
Dooly County Superior Court
convened in Vienna Monday morn
ing at 9 o’clock with Ins honor,
Judge Littlejohn presiding 'and
Solicitor Frunk Hooper looking
after the interest of the state.
A large crowd oi people came
in from every section of the county
and many strangers were presein
.it the opening of court.
Judge Littlejohn allowed the
forenoon for organizing the court
and getting matters in working
order, after which lie delivered his
charge to the grand jury. Judge
Littlejohn, in his able charge, di
rected the attention of the grand
jury to some existing evils and
urged their investigatio'n into such
mutters as gambling and carrying
concealed weapons. He called their
attention to the need of better
public roads and other mutters of
first importance to the people
Many expressions of praise were
beard relative to his honor’s chaige
to the grand jury, and the tact that
Judge Littlejohn is an able and
fcgriess officer was confirmed most
forcibly by what lie said.
Foilov/ing is the list of grand
jurors for this term :
John B Ryals, foreman, R H
Davis, J A Broxton, J S ShepJ
pard, J R Horne, F T Mason, D
W Harvard, J J Morgan, James

VV Powell, B B Pound, VV H
Liggin, T E Gleuton, J S Pate,
A Wells, J L Martin, C C Dun
cun, Mark Ruincy, D B Thomp
son. C C Duncan was elected
clerk and G W Se.tgo bailiff of the
grund jury.
As will be seen from the above
list (his jury is composed of an
able iind excellent set of men who
cun be relied on to do their whole
duty.
This week will be consumed
disposing of the civil docket, and
the criminal docket will be taken
up nex't week. The docket this
term is tile lightest that lias been
had for years, and will most likely
be completed in two week6,
whereas it has heretofore required
from three to four weeks.

1120,000.00 Already Id Sight and This
Mnch Needed Enterprise Is Almost
Assured for Vienna.
About $25,000.00 is in sight for
cotton mill for Vienna.
Now, will not some one take
hold of the matter in the right way
and get some foreign capital inter
ested in it. We believe that $35,-
000.00 or possibly more could be
ruised for such an enterprise by
citizens here mid in the county.
And while the iron is beginning
to get warm, let some one take hold
of the matter and push it.
Certainly tiie prospects are a
great deal brighter for securing
such tin enterprise than they were
before the Atlantic & Birmingham
railrona was secured.
Then why should we remain idle
longer and let some other town get
ahead of us on these important
things.

DOOLY COUNTY NEEDS A CLOCK
The Present Grand Jury Should See

To the Grand Jury : Gentlemen
don’t you think that Dooly county

progressiveness that Dooly ' has
that hasn’t got a handsome clock in
the steeple of her court house.
The. county is plenty ublo to get
one. and we need it. Let’s have it 1
