Vienna took the lead on cotton
last week and it rolled in cverv
day with a great rush. Price's
were good, sellers were pleased,
trade was brisk and everybody
felt good. The firm of Jelks A
Willis, represented here by Mr. J.
J. Lashley 7 , bought and shipped
out 400 bules themselves, besides
large shipments by other buyers.
The market closed last night
firm with 7\ cents the top and 7$
the prevailing price for middling.
The prediction made by the Prog
ress that Vienna would lead the
other markets this season js being
literally fulfilled cpily.
Prof Heard, of the Vienna Sem
inary. makes a monthly report as
to the standing of each pupil in
each lesson and in the month just
closed,little Emmie, daughter of an
worthy deputy sherilf J. W. Rob
erts stood 100 in each lesson, in
cluding general deportment.
Notwithstanding all did well,
some reaching 100 in several stud
ies, she was the only one arriving
at the maximum in each and every
department.
Arm Cut Off.
On Friday' of last week Mr T.
Angus Mclver had the misfortune
to get his arm caught in the gin
on his plantation not far from
Williford and it was cut up badly.
Realizing his condition he got in
his buggy with his little boy and
drove 7 miles to Cordele and bad
Drs. Wallace and Baker to ampu
tate the wounded arm. Of course
thelwound was very painful and
serious but he stood the pain heroi
cally' and is getting along as well
as could be expected.
On Monday of last week a negro
was poisoned with arsenic down on
the turpentine farm of Callahan
A Co.
Otford Ireland had beeh missing
his chickens and accused Wash
Thomas of stealing them. lie
had fed his chickens on arsenic to
kill the thief. On Sunday night
he missed some more chickens aud
Monduy morning while they were
all in the woods ::t work he went
to Wash's dinner bucket to sec if
he had chicken for dinner. When
he returned he said that there
were three pieces of chicken in the
bucket, one of which was a gizzard
and if Wash eat that gizzard he
would never eat another.
Monday morning a week after
the poison had been administered
Coroner Gra*ham received notice to
go down and bold an inquest over
Wash Thomas who had been pois
oned. Dr S. B. Stovall was car
ried down to hold an autopsy and
be pronounced arsenical poisoning
at once. The Coroner's jury found
their verdict that “the deceased
came to his death by poison ad
ministered by Offord Ireland.”
A good joke was enjoyed at the
expense of Judge S. 1). Thompson
last week. He was one of the
committee to visit the convict
camps of the county and when
they were ready to go to liiclnvood
Judge Thompson offered, as he
hud a mule and buggy in the stable,
to carry his friend Mr. Shelby
Lasseter. He went around and
had his mule brought out and off
they went. He pulled up the lines
end said.
“Go long. Puss.”
But Puss wouldn't go much.
This aroused his suspicion and he
began to look at the mule more
closely. It looked a little gaunt to
be sure but there was the well
known saddle mark on the back.
The whip was used and the mule
went all right. Down the road he
noticed that the mule was shod.
This worried him again but his
companion explained that some
fellow had it done by mistake.
Arriving at Rich wood Judge
Thompson got out wtiere he could
got u square look at the mule and
though of the same size and color
and marked like her it was not
“Puss.” He had driven otf some
body else’s mule.
And the joke lias been on

Everybody likes to make a good
impression. No one likes to ap
pear “tackey” or cause remarks
to be made about their hat or
oilier article of dress. This is
especially true of the ladies who
when they wear a hat or dress
want it to be stylish end well&tting.
In a limited territory it is quite
enterprising for a dealer to carry-
in stock all the la.esi fads, fancies
and nobbv styles. But it can be
found ' iglit here in Vienna. Mrs.
C. V. Morgan has made such
preparation for the fail trade in

On Wednesday night last
tween sundown and dark
James Pate, a yaung man seven
teen years old, son of Mr. John S.
Pate of Cordele, had a difficulty
with a negro, Dave Pooler by name
and after being struck over the
head a time or two struck the ne
gro with his knife and killed him.
Mr. Pate was down on his fath
er's plantation at Pateville look
ing after his father's business, es
pecially atter the gin. After they
quit work on Wednesday night
Mr. Pate said something to Dave,
who fired the gin engine, about
the way he was doing his work.
One word brought on another and
the negro struck him with a stick
cutting through his hat and mak
ing a gash in his head Mr Pate
turned to get something to defend
himself with and got another lick
across the shoulder, when he pulled
his knife and slashed the negro
across the arm. As the negro
struck again he cut a gash across
the negro’s right breast that j>ene-
trated his heart and he fell dead.
Everybody sympathizes deeply

On Friday morning last
clock the spirit of Miss.
Adkins, eldest daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. T. A. Adkins, winged its way
to its Heavenly Father. Miss.
Lizzie was just budding into young
womanhood being nearly 15 years
old, a pretty, loving, sweet, Chris
tian girl tiiet was the pride of
parents, bro.hers andjsisters and
an especirl favorite among her
many associates and friends. She
joined the Baptist church here two
yeais .-go and hps lived an ex
emplar*- life being verv much de
voted to her Sunday School class
and church services.
Without murmuring at sickness
o^ pain or anything 6he bore heroi
cally a severe attack of malarial
fever and when her frail frame
could stand no more, when family,
friends and physician had done all
in their power to stem the disease,
she fell asleep with a sweet smile
upon her face and was in the
presence of her Saviour.
She was la.id away to rest in
t.ie cemetery at 4 o clock Friday
afternoon, followed by a sorrow
srtieken family and a large con
course of friends who loved her
and grieved to see her taken away.
May her short li-'e be a bright
example to her many friends that
will point them to where she now
rests free from sorrow, sickness,
pain and death.
Everybody who has visited the
great dry goods, shoe ; hat and
clothing emporium of W- Willis
A Co., since their fall stock has
been received are perfectly aston
ished at its elegance, richness and
beauty. And it will please and
surprise anyone to take a look
through their immense stock.
When Mr. W. C. Willis, the sen
ior of the firm reached New York
this summer he found everything
in a financial way all “frozen up.”
The situation was no better at
home and for some time be was in
a quandary as to whether to buy
much or not. He decided to wait
a week or two and watch develop
ments. So he set himself to see
the city-, especially visiting the
great dry goods houses and notic
ing the goods they offered and jot
ting down prices here and there.
Nobody was buying and the mer
chants were offering large induce
ments. Finally- Mr. Willis thought
he could see a brighter future
ahead and decided to go on tlie
market, but very cautiously.
From day to day be picked up
such lots of goods as were suitable
to his trade, the very best in text
ure, the latest in style and sold at
great discount. By remaining in
the city for several weeks lie
bought such an nggregaiion of
richness, beauty, style, texture
and cheapness as has never been
thrown upon the market here be-
foie.
Mr. Willis is but a young man
who came to Vienna about a year
ago and opened such a business
as had never been here before.
His motto has been “Get a good
thing, then let the people know it'’
and has spared neither time, ener
gy or printer’s ink to keep the peo
ple posted on the bargains in store
for them. By these means he has
won the confidence of the people
and built up a large trade over this
entire section. The stock lie
shows this season at the prices he
ask6 for it is another “ten strike”
in his favor and his company is
now fully launched up the top
wave of success; which the Prog
ress wishes them most abundantly.

In ths fall of 16M I was sent from
an eastern firm to Colorado to super
intend the erection of a sawmill to
replace an old one which was de
stroyed by fire. Everything went on
nicely, and the mill was in running
order in about two weeks with the
exception of a countershaft to run
the planer and matcher, which was
missing. To send to the factory
would take not less than two weeks,
and we came to the conclusion to cut
a piece off the old line shaft and turn
it up ourselves, as we had an old
lathe standing next to the boiler and
engine.
The weather of the last month was
dry and very warm, but at sunset
that day a heavy snowstorm set in,
and the thermometer dropped to zero.
The next morning we sent our en
gineer to get one of those old line
shafts, but found tbem covered with
snow and ice. At last he succeeded
in getting hold of a piece about 8
feet long. It measured about 2 inches
in diameter, somewhat thicker in the
center and tapered at one end. We
needed only 5 feet, so we cent for a
sledge and chisel to cut off the right
length. One stroke and off flew the
thin part. I told the men this kind
of iron would not do, but the engi
neer said all iron would break like
this in zero weather; it soon would
be all right if it came into the lathe
next to the boiler. He took the shaft
over to the vise and centered same,
and from there to the lathe, put the
steady rest in position and tried to
turn it to the right side, but all in
vain. The lathe was located near
the boiler, a warm place, the ice had
melted during the time, and the shaft
got softer and softer, and the tool
would not cut at all.
At this moment the proprietor of
the place stepped in, and seeing his
man running the lathe asked him
what he was going to do. “I am
trying to turn a shaft for our planer,
but I never saw a piece of iron like
this. First it was as hard as glass,
but as soon as it got warm it turned
soft and is getting softer all the
time.” The proprietor took a step
forward just in time to see the two
ends drop out of the centers, but
held in the middle by the steady rest,
showing several different color*. The
proprietor was an old man and had
for many years lived in Colorado,
and one glance convinced him that
his engineer had taken a frozen rat
tlesnake for a piece of iron, cut off
the tail and put the balance in the
lathe to turn it off for a countershaft j
The snake was not hanging on the
rest longer than a minute when it
commenced to whirl around to free
itself. All the men ran, and the
snake after them, until somebody
killed it with a club. We looked for
the tail, which by this time had also
thawed, and found 13 rattles on it
The engineer swore he would never
look for another piece of iron on a
day li«e this in Colorado.—Cincin

brother planters that we are only working for our common good as a
class we ask them to let us handle their crop.
