The Dooly County Teachers As

Some of the people of our town
who attended services at the Meth
odist church Sunday'night say
that they did not enjoy the ser
vices as well as they wanted to,
and all on account of the bad be

ent. The same “gang” are mak

The Vienna High school contin
ues to grow and owing to the
steady increase in the attendance
this session, it became neceessary
to add to the faculty another

position. Miss Lawson comes
highly reccmumended as an excel

Our Artesian Water.
Mr. W. R. West, one of our
oldest citizens, who lives out about
two miles from town, has been
quite feebie and helpless for some
time and for many months has
been almost unable to leave his
chair.
Several weeks ago, Mr. West
began using water from our Artes
ian well and is yet using it con
stantly. Since that time, he has
improved wonderfully and Is now
able to rise from his chair and
walk around as much as he pleases
to. He speaks in the highest
terms of Vienna’s pure, healthy
and invigorating artesian water, of
which the town has an abundance.
Iii Peace Prepare for War.
Mr. O. S. Bazemore, our genial
R. R. agent is taking ‘time by the
fore-lock” and “in time of peace
preparing for war.” He has tried
to pursuade ye editor off with him,
but we are a little too superstitious
to tempt providence in such a man
ner. Remembering the short fruit
crop of last year he has bought a
lot of blackberry vines and plum
trees and proposes to plant him
out a blackberry patch and plum
orchard, all for himself. He want
ed us to go tn with him (knowing
that our living came mostly that
way) but we were afraid to con
tradict the wise and over-ruling
Providence that invariably sends a
blackberry or plum crop, often
both, to bolster up the country ed
itor, We rather trust the same
source.
Mrs. Shep Willson died at her
home in Unadilla early yesterday
morning, of paralysis and brain
fever.
She was a bride of only two years
and leaves a heart-broken husband
and a sweet little babejjust one
years old—the one to grieve the
loss of a loving wife and compan-
ion-tne other to never know a
mother’s tender care andjove.
The Progress joins the many
friend* of the departed one in of
fering sympathy to the bereaved
ones, and especially to the sorrow
ing husband. May Heaven com
fort him in this sad affliction, and
help him to bow submissive to the
will of the Father.
Too Many Schools.
The Board of Education thinks
there are too many schools in Cor-
d?le, by several, for the public
weal, and refuses to contract with
any of the various school that are
beiDg taught there n r >w, and say
they will not contract for any
public *chool at all there until the
people come together, *ecure a
proper school building, teaeher
etc., and get in position to build
up a good school.
The Board is right, The Prog
ress is proud of the fact that they
are lopping of all the side, split
dissatisfied-faction, schools and
are aiming at one first-class school
in easy reach of every child of
school age in the county.
While some of our good friends
of Cordele may be dissatisfied now
at the action of the Board, when
they come together, as they will,
and begin to build up one good
school, they will see the wisdom of
this course on the part of the
Board.
The Progress appeals to the
enterprising, . public-spirited,
great-hearted people of our sister
city, to lay down all feelings, of
whatever nature, that now keep
them apart on this question, come
together now, for the public good,
and arrange for a school (ONE)
that shall be an example for all
others to follow. They can do it.
They know no such word as fail!

The big man at the mill is trying
to cheat Tom Folds out of his well
earned skunk record. He was cai-
rying a live one around town a few
days since as a beautiful pet,
Strange to say he had no offensive
oder about him. But then I reck
on it was because a nice man had
him.
We expect that “ekimmings
beer” has not given out down
about the gas works yet for there
was a laughable circumstance
happened down then recently.
Heds came in from work about
supper time “sorter how come
you so,’’ went right in to the sup
per table and helped himself to
what he supposed to be nicely
fried flitters. He buttered and
poured syrup over them and be
gan to cut them up preparatory to
eating when lie struck something
not quite so tender as the fried
batter— putting down his knife
and fork called to his wife, “Ella!
Ella ! Dast if there aint a dishrag
in this flitter.”!
She was so much tickled at the
laughable mistake, ’twas some
time before an explanation could
be made. She then told him ’twas
his favorite dish—“beef--tripe”
fried in batter. Says Heds to his
wife. “Now, Ella, its no use hav
ing a fuss in the family. If you
wont say nothing about this to
Hans I’ll give you this five dollar
gold piece--(pulling the precious
coin out) and I’ll go with you to
ehurch Sunday night and toat the
bady there and back. This she
agreed to and so far as we know,
kept his word. But it leaked out,
all the same.
Well, Homer Mycoffee, (the
genial gentleman) who is on the
bonds of the Bantam and the big
12 man, thought it best to have all
these troubles pacified, so he ar
ranged a meeting and opened a
bottle cf pepper sauce. We toast
ed each other and are now just as
loving as a twelve year old girl
with her first beau. Taking all
things into consideration we think
we came out mazing well and will
let yon hear from us occasionally.

FALSE ECONOMY.
I heard a gentleman remark the
other day that when hard times
struck the average citizen the first
thing he did was to stop his paper;
the next thing to take his children
from school, and the next to quit
paying his preacher, and thus
imagine that he was practicing
economy; and the gentleman told
the truth. Great economy, isn’t
it? Kill off the preacher, the
teacher and the newspaper—the
three great factors in the intellec
tual and moral life of any commu
nity, and then imagine that such
was economy! Kill off the preach
er, and let your children grow up
moral savages; kill off the teacher
and raise up your offspring to be
hewers of wood and drawers of
water for the children of those who
have got more sense; kill off your
newspaper and see your town go
down, business grow stagnant, and
those children whom you have de
creed to be intellectual and moral
dwarfs loaf around for want of
employment. This is wonderful
economy.—Ex.

This Company is new to the farmers of Dooly
county—its officers, however, are well known to
t hem, as well as are the brands of fertilizers they offer.
“Plovtfboys Buciqd Qucipo.”
This|is probably the oldest brand of complete
fertilizer on the market. Our Mr. A. M. Rodg
ers (formerly of Rodgers, Worsham & Co. and
who recently was President of the Farmers
Supply Co.) originated this brand years ago. It
is the best guano sold, as shown by field results,
its analyses the highest, as proven by the Geor
gia Chemist’s analyses. This brand and form
ula are ours and we alone manufacture it.
Black Rock Dissolved Bone.
This is the strongest Acid Phosphate sold in the
State. Any of the many farmers who have used it
will substantiate this statement.
tfcji^est Queer) IGivocife.
This brand is certain to take well with the in
telligent farmers on account of its large per cent
of pure potash, having more than double the
quantity of other brands.
Besides the above brands we import German
Kaiinit, deal largely in Cotton Seed Meal and all fer-
tilzing material.
Mr. Rodgers has been selling fertilizers in Dooly
county for 16 years and respectfully solicits a contin
uance of the liberal patronage heretofore enjoyed for
his high grade brands of fertilizers.
