New Post Master for Vienna-
On Wednesday of last week
Prof. Wm. J. Harvard was appoints
ed, postmaster for Vienna. This
will be good news to Mr. Harvard’s
thousands of friends in Dooly and
adjoiningcounties.
For the past thirty seven years
Prof. Harvard has been teaching
school inDooly and adjoining coun
ties. All of this time except a very
few years has been spent in Dorfy
county alone. Nearly every cf
munity in the county has felt his
Christian influence and gentleness
of character while many men and
women who now have families
point with pride and love to him
as their tutor.
During all this time he has nev
er held public office. And now
since his life has been almost worn
away he will settle down for four
years at least, in the post office in
the capital of his county.
Mr. Harvard has been teaching
this year at Richwood, 3 miles
south from Vienna, walking to and
fro morning and night, and his
term will not end there until about
June 1st, after which we suppose
he will take charge.
Mr. R. S. Middleton, the retir
ing postmaster, though put in len
der Harrison’s administration has
made Vienna a model postmaster
in every respect. Kind, clever,
obliging, prompt, he has endeav
ored to carry out the strict letter
of the law and serve all alike and
we fail to find any one who has a
word to say against his adminis
tration- Not only so, butj he has
fully identified himself with the
best interests of our town and coun
ty and has the esteem of every citi
zen.
Four States In One l)ay.
The Macon papers state that
the Georgia Business College of
that city, placed in good positions
as stenographers,one day last week,
four young lady graduates, repre
senting the four states of Missis
sippi, South Carolina, Tennessee,
and Georgia, three of whom had
been studying shorthand but two
months, having entered since Jan
1st.
Six to eight months is the time
usually required for the completion
of Book-keeping, Shorthand or
Telegraphy, in the Text Book Col
leges of the country; but by the
methods of practical and individ
ual instruction, pursued in this
institution, full scope is given the
the energies and talents of every
student; and they receive their
just reward in his graduation and
location in a good position within
a few weeks.
From all reports, this college is
certainly proving a blessing to the
youth of the south, not only by
giving them a thorough business
training, but securing good posi
tion for them immediately.
in and around Vienna Friday
morning. It was the day for the
picnic at the camp ground.
The azure blue of an ideal South
Georgia spring day sky was flecked
here and there with small fleecy
clouds, while a pleasant breeze
played hide and seek in the valleys
and over the hills, among the dells
and through the dales of the gar
den spot of Georgia. (Dooly of
course.)
At 7:30 o’clock the children
and young people began to gather
at the park, happy and joyous,
waiting to be transported to the
picnic grounds. At 8 o'clock the
wagons, hacks ajid buggies were
wheeled into line and “all
aboard for the picnic." Soon the
children were all seated and the
first load went out laughing, jok
ing and singing. Three trips were
made before all were carried out
and the last load, consisting of the
older ones and the baskets did not
arrive until 11 o’clock. But the
children, led by some of the older
ones had already searched the
woods and swamps for flowers, fer
ries and plums and wree engaged
in many small games.
The cool shade, the »ocial con
verse and the entire happiness of
the young heople made the occa
sion a6 pleasant as could be de
sired.
The Peasant Valley and Mt.
Vernon Sunday Schools joined
heartily in the occasion and added
much to its success.
Delegates from fifteen different
churches in the county were pres
ent and being gladly welcomed
entered fully into the pleasures of
the day. Byromville, Snow, Una
dilla, Pinehurst, Richwood. Fenn,
Cordele and many communities
were represented.
At 11:30 o’clock while the pic-
nicers were still enjoying them
selves, the delegates from the dif
ferent churches met and organized
the “Dooly County Sunday School
Association,” electing John E.
Howell, President; John Crump-
ler, Vice-President; J. Frank Cal
houn, Secretary; James F. Cobb,
Treasurer; T. Rents Smith, Chor
ister; and an Executive Committee
composed of R. ;L. Wilson, L. B.
Jones, H. IE. Smitn, J. M. Spears
and G. B.Smith. From the attend
ance upon this their first meeting
we think this association starts off
under auspicious circumstances.
Promptly at 1 o’clock dinner
was announced and everybody in
vited to partake. Thecrowd moved
upon the tables in solid phalanx
and soon the many good things be
gan to move, slowly but persist
ently. Exclamations and con
gratulations were heard on all
sides at the magnificent spread
prepared.
But, it was just like it always is
in Dooly, the people who carried
baskets had to take home a boun
tiful supply after all had been fed.
Only one accident marred the
pleasure of the dny. Just before
reaching the grounds the horse
driven by Miss Viol* Buff took
fright and jumped suddenly back*
wards. This threw her headfore
most upon the horse which badly
frightened it and it ran away
throwing her out, together with
a little neice and a negro girl. The
negro girl and the niece were not
hurt much, but Miss Buff received
many painful bruises upon her
head, face and arms, together with
a severe wrench of the bach. Mr.
J. W. jKoberts. who was Just be
hind, hurried back to town for a
physician, while many solicitious
friends made it as comfortable for
Miss Buff as possible. Soon she
was moved over to the grounds,
the physician came, pronounced
her wounds not dangerous, and
while she could not move about
during the day, she seemed to en
joy the occasion as much as possi
ble under the circumstances.
Late in the afternoon the crowd
dispersed after adding another
happy chapter to their lives.

To THE SuNDAT SCHOOL TEACHERS

Dean brethren and sisters :
Realizing the
great i nportance of the work we

Sunday, May 27th and 28th 1893,
at which time and place every
Teaoher t< who is not providentially
hindered, will be expected to at
tend. Come, and let us put our
hearts and minds together; pray
God’s blessings upon our lives and
work and discuss such subjects as
will be of interest and benefit to us.
To this end we have prepared a
program for the ooeasion that will
be rich in information and practi
cal suggestions.
The Vienna ohureh snd Sunday
school give you a most cordial
invitation to be their guests. I
earnestly trust that you will be
with us and pray that this meet
ing may do His causa and our
lives much good.
Yours in the work,
John E. Howell,
President.

We are eorry So not*’ the death

daye ago. She leaves a husband
and several small children who
have the sympathy of the entire
community.
Mr. B. C. Benton has recently
returned from Perry, where he
spent several days visiting relat
ives.
There being few changes in our
little town from one week to anoth
er, in lieu of the few hastily
thrown together dots we are accus
tomed to writing, we will briefly
outline our trip to Beech Haven.
Just after sunrise on Saturday
(May 13) the people began to come
in from the country and continued
to come until it was almost impos
sible for the Agent to have tick
ets for them. And by train time
the streets and around the depot
were lived with people, all, “off for
Beech Haven.” But to our dismay,
j when the train came, the Pine
hurst people, ever as anxious ns
ourselves, had filled the coaches
and we were left to crowd onrselves
into what vacant space we could
find, with a great many left stand
ing in the aisles. At Elko our
already very large crowd was in
creased by a large delegation from
that place and Henderson. After
a ride of seven miles we were
poured out, rather than put out,
and there we found ourselves sur
rounded by the beautiful groves
that surrounded the place. We
then repaired to the^pavilion where
for aboat an hour and a half we
were entertained by speakers rep
resenting the different Sabbath
Schools. Speakers were as follows:
Elko Baptist Sunday School,
Mr. John Keen. Elko Methodist
Sunday School, Prof. Pounds-
Henderson Sunday School, Prof.
Simpson. Unadilla Sunday School,
Prof. Coleman.
The lecturers applied their re
marks to the Sunday School cause
in a general sense and met with
general approval and considerable
applause.
After the speaking the crowd
was turned “wild loose” and every
one left to bis own amusement and
to that of his friends. At about
12 ;30 dinner was Jannounced and
suffice it to say, in honor of
ladies who furnished the di
that there were taken up at
“twelve basketsfull.”
After dinner, strolling, tallj
and walking was m order and
and every one seemed to enjoy it
to their hearts content. But, as
all sweets have their bitter, long
before the train came all were tired
down and anxious to get home.
To the young people there was
an opportunity of racing and
chasing each other over hills and
around the park generally. To
the young men and young ladies
there were inviting seats, shady
retreats, and pleasant walks, and
to the more aged ones there were
opportunities for sweet converse
and the intermingling of ideas and
expressions with friends, ever cal
culated to lighten the burdens of
life and make pleasant the fleeting
moments.
Although some got very tired
and worried, none could complain
of not having at least some pleas
ure.
At about 6:30 p. ib. we bade
adieu to Beech Haven and her
sweet shades and hied away, each
one to their respective home, feel
ing thankful to the Divine Creator
for the dispensation of his provi
dence to our mutual pleasure bene
fit and comfort.
