Ilis arrest creates anew a lively interest about which there was considerable mystery in Dooly some two years ago. Our readers will remember that a Jew peddler was found dead in the swamp near the roadway just outside of Una dilla. His head had been almost entirely blownjjoff by a shot from in front. His body was beginning to decompose when found. The coroner’s jury did their utmost to obtain some clue as to the identity of the perpetrators of this foul dead, but no clue could be found. The Hebrews_of Macon offered a reward of $300 for the capture of the miscreant and Governor North- en supplemented this offer with a reward of $200 by the State for the capture and proof to convict. Cetectives Patterson and Jen- kids of Macon have been working for that reward. They first fast ened a chain of circumstantial evi dence upon Jesse Odom, then went to work to find him. Last week they located him at the brick yard near Macon and arrested him. They took him to Unadilla and had him committed. The detectives say they have very' strong and positive evid.-uce against him. PINEHURST DOTS. Seed Ground Peas. I have 100 bushels of good Seed Groundpeas for sale at 75/ per bushel.

Beacham, a prominent young dentist of Una dilla, and Miss Nannie Horne, a most estimable young lady of Pinehurst, on the night of the 24th of May. Dr. Beacham, though young in his profession, ia fast forging himself to the front and to popularity and bids fair to be one of the leading dentists of the coun try, and is now enjoying a nice practice. Miss Horne, for a long while re cognized as one of the most popu lar young ladies of the county, is the daughter of Mr. J. R. Horne, a prominent farmer near Pinehurst, ever amiable and pleasant, with many natural gifts and attractions, she promises fair to make any man an agreeable companion and in her Dr. Beacham will capture a rare jewel. The marriage ceremony will be performed at the Baptist church in Pinehurst where surrounded by their many friends, with a full corps of attendance they will be made one; from the church they will repair to the residence of the bride’s father where tho reception in the form of a sumptuous repast will be given. The bride and groom will make Unadilla their future home. hasse, Fla, Hon. W. B. Lamar, At torney' General of Florida, Geor gia’s own Ham and a number of others as prominent and noted.

The celebrated animal known as a“blind tiger” had better keep I both eyes open in Dooly now for j Judge Whipple of the county court j is right after them. Last week a j white man by the name of Moon j who has lived in Cordele for quite I ba U a while and who was generally I them the7have already'been“pitch” thought to have been running a 1 the great pleasuie of accompany ing Mr. Me C.

A $10,000| brick school building is under course of erection that will be a great credit to the enterprise of this city and would grace a much larger place. The people seem to be enthused over the pres ent of Hawkinsvile and taking hold of enterprises of every descrip tion with a liberality and public spirit that is characteristic of great hearted people.

NOVEL STATE OF AFFAIRS. UNADILLA GLEANINGS. “To Beech Haven” is the cry and the Sunday School children are happy, it means that our Sunday Schools here will join several oth ers at Beech Haven on the 13th inst to celebrate our May-day fes tivities with an old time all day picnic. A programme is being prepared, refreshments will be furnished free and everything will be done to add to the enjoyment of the occasion. Excursion rates will be furnished for the “Shoo-fly” train and all can go with a very small expense. Mr. L. A, Morgan of the Prog ress passed through town on Wednesday last on his way to Perry and other points in Hous ton. It is reliably reported that one of our young men will soon take to himselt a better half and will thereby add one more to our thriv ing town. The Philoretorian Society met on Monday night at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Carroll and seemed to be generally enjoyed. The next meeting will be at the home of Mrs. Bridges. Mr. W. H. McBride who has been in Florida for some time re turned home on Saturday last. Owing to the kindness of our ef ficient depot agent Mr. ./. D. Fra ser we were allowed excursion tickets to and from Beecn Haven at 25/ for the round trip, none are so poor but what are able to pay that small amount for a whole day in recreation and amusement. Miss Zeph Pate is visiting in Hawkinsville this week, where she went to attend the marriage of a friend. Some of our citizens have de clared war against the finny tribe and often now you hear them speak of their exploits in the swamps, the result: plenty of bites, no fish. Miss Nona Duncan, of Araoi, is with her sister, Mrs. W. B. Nich- ols. Amico. We heard recently' of a novel state of affairs that exists in our neighbor town of Perry. Our information is that for sev eral years up to April 1st of last year substantially the same Mayor and Aldermen had been kept in office. Some dissatisfaction arose over the managenmnt of the town’s affairs and two tickets were put out for the election in April of last year. The new aspirants for aldermanic honors were all defeat ed but the new candidate for May or was elected over the former oc cupant. The members of the coun cil didn’t like the idea of serving with the new Mayor and would not meet and work with him nor did they' ever make any report. He found the town in debt and went to work. Since that time lie has contracted his own bills, audited and paid them. Last April anoth er election was held and the same officers re-elected. The aldermen have never been sworn in and the Mayor has the entire town in charge. He manages all the busi ness and has the town out of debt with money in the treasury. We have no idea that there is another town in the state in the same condition. Farm Lands. I am prepared to negotiate loans on improved farm lands in Dooly it a low rate of interest. Address or apply to Johx II. Woodward, Attorney and Real Estate Ag’t. Vienna, Ga, FROM DRAYTON. We have been threatened with rain several times this week, but have had but little up to date. The crops are looking w.ell con sidering the disadvantages under which they have attempted to grow. Most of the farmers have their corn in tine condition, they report a good stand of cotton and cotton chopping is getting in full blast. Mr. Bullock who has been strug gling between life and death for some time is reported to be some better, there is now some hope for him. Our family fish fry last Satur day was fine. At dinner it is said that Dr’s. Watts and Howell led the procession, ail except Mr. Jno. F. Butler, who was so far ahead that he was not considered “in it” but “out of sight.” It seems that Billy the Kid and Major was not “in it” to a very- great extent last week. We must not be so superfluous Major. You know one,of the mottoes of the Progress is brevity and simpliei ty, therefore let us not deal in cir cumlocution, for at it we see our articles thrown out. Mrs. Daniels has been quite ill for the past ten days. Dr. J. C. Hooks, who has been absent from our town for several days, returned this week to revel in the smiles of his many friends. We have a pressing invitation to attend the Sumter picnic at Line creek bridge, the second Saturday in May. Those who are preparing to entertain the people, may look Tor Bill about 12 o’clock with a rubber bag. Billy the Kid. Millinery Goods. But there were quite a number of visitors in town win, like your scribe, had gone thero more par ticularly to witness one of the most brilliant affairs that lias occurred for a long while, the IIynds—Willis Wedding. Which occurred at the Hawkins ville Baptist church Wednesday evening, April 26th. The edifice, which is a handsome ono, was filled to its utmost capac ity long before the time for the ceremony'. This vast audience was enter tained by viewing tiie decorations so prettily and gorgeously arrang ed by the bride’s maids. Great pyramids of the rarest plants were banked in the pulpit recess while at its base and hid among the mooss covered rocks and evergreens, pretty fountain send forth its enchanting sounds, while over all pretty pond lilies lent grace and baauty. ’Twas such a scene that once seen was ever fastend upon memory. Promptly' at 8:30 o’clock the doors were thrown open and the ponderous organ begun t > peal the wedding march, under tho skilful touch of Miss Ella Glover, and the bridal party marched in as follows. Masters Oscar and McLendon Pate entered to open the gates, fol lowed by the ushers, Mess. 8. George Willis and C. It. Warren W. B. Glover and L. A. Jordan. Next came the attendants. Mr. Charles S. Johnson, Atlanta, with Miss Mollie Joiner. Mr. T. H. Bridges, Hawkinsville, witli Miss Edna Roberts. Mr. J. J. Witfield, Hawkinsville with Miss Bessie Anthony. Mr. M. C. Brown, Gainesville, with Miss Lizzie Anderson. Mr. S. P. Adams, Hawkinsville with Miss Nannie Horne of Pine hurst. Mr. J. E. Dawson, Gaineiville, with Miss Ida Way. Mr. J. B. Willis, Hawkinsville, with Miss Maggie Dunlap of Gain esville, Mr. R. A. Pate. Hawkinsville, with Miss Ella Jordan. Mr. W. C. Willis, Vienna, with Miss Zepli Pate of Unadilla. Mr. J. S. Hall, Cainsville, with Miss Emma Adams. The bride came down the center aisle (the others having marched singly'down the side aisles) lean ing upon her maid of honor, Miss Sadie Willis, and met the groom who was in waiting at the altar. There, standing under a large arch from which was supended two large entwined hearts with the initials “H” and “W” deftly worked in, immediately beneath a large dove, their lives and destinies were joined by Dr. W. A, Nelson, the bride’s pastor. It was a grand and impressive scence. Nature, art and science all combined had done their utmost. Such magnificent decorations, such blushingly beautiful women and handsome men. Ye goods,{come down and adore! Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Willlis, par ents of the bride, gave the bridal party a reception from 9 to 11 that could not be surpassed in elegance of arrangement or the fulness of its appointments. The bride is one of Ilawkins- ville’s favorite daughters, petite and beautiful, and never more so than this her bridal evening. Miss Willis counts her admirers WARWICK. When the well known place above mentioned is named the peo ple of this section begin to ill tik of the past, for many a happy day has been s; e it in this historic old place that stands upon the banks of the Flint and is recollected by the oldest citizens as a famous Fort or trading point between tiie whites and the red men in the early days of Georgia. Our senior editor had the hap py fortune to spend last. Saturday and Sunday in and around this place and among its good people. This occasion of our visit to War wick was a General Meeting of the Houston Association held with Fort Early church. Arriving there at 10 o’clock A. M. Saturday we found a large congregation gather ed and the exercises already begun. Rev. J. J. Hymair, Moderator of the Association was present, as were Rev. H - A’. G Iden, pastor in charge, Rev. I Hobby and Rev. Mr. Long These, assisted by Mess, M. A. Tharp, D. T. Doughtry and others made the day’s exercises ex ceedingly interesting, instructing and beneficial. Dinner was served on the grounds and those assembled were not half enough tocosume the spread. Saturday night wc had the pleas ure of spending the time with Mr. Rabe. Harris, one of the best farmers of his community and county and withal a clever, genial gentleman. ,, Sunday morning we returned early to the church and found the people gathering from all sections. By 10 o’clock the assembled mul titudes were great. The building could not begin to hold them. The Sunday School 70 strong formed at the academy and marched in a body down to the church when they were, lectured until the preach ing hour. Rev. J. J. Hyman preached on Saturday and the people were anx ious to hear him again Sunday but he had to return to Abbeville where he had a revival meeting of much interest in progress and Rev. J. M. Champion, who had come in Sunday morning was re quested to preach at 11 o’clook, which he consented to do. From a long arid almost finished life he gave the attentive andience a sweet discourse that touched the hearts of the people. We have seen very few such din ners as were spread on Sunday but they say they are quite common down there and we know we can’t do it justice now—we did then. After some short song, prayer and exhortation exercises in the afternoon the benediction was pronounced and we returned home. From the minutes we found that nine churches had representatives in attendance upon the meeting. Considerable disappointment was realized from the fact that several speakers on the program did not put in their appearance while oth ers left before the close. We never enjoyed a visit better and saw many signs of improve ment and prosperity, met many old friends and made many news ones. Send Your Job Work to the Prog ress Office.
