VOL. 2. NO. 72. VIENNA. GA., WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 25.J903, TWICE-A-WEEK $1.00 PER YEAR 6»( DOOLY BANNER ar ksctus. 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.” 3)CfJ Jim ltodgers is an industrious former, who is not afraid of worn and of - course always makes good crops. He raises his ment and syrup, and also • V-t has some fine Jersey milch cows, who Convened Monday Homing With Judge Littlejohn Presiding-Will Be a Short Term. COUNTY NEWS. A COTTON MILL SEEMS CERTAIN Gathered From tbs Four Corners of Dooly by Our Hustling Corps of Quill Drivers. turnlsLhis family with all the milk and butteJVh 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 Pope, J H Bedgood, A E Thomp son, O M Heard, J L Powell, H 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. ARABI.

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. JERRY. PREACH1NQ THURSDAY NIGHT. 1 A CHANGE IN BUSINESS. ft - * Rev. Alex W.
