CORDELE. GA„ FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 189ft.
BIG BUILDING FOR CORDELE.
A Handsome Structure to Be Erected
By the Government.
Cordele is bound to grow.
is quite probable that a Govern
ment building will be put up
here. This is no fake, neither is
it a dream. The authorities whose
duty it is to look after such af
fairs are making an investiga
tion; one gentleman has already
been asked the price of his lots of
land in a convenient location for
such a building. Our efficient
post master will use bis influence
and will, we believe, urge its con
struction.
A Prin tery.
A newspaper man of much experi
ence is contemplating the estab
lishment of a new printing enter
prise at some point in south Geor
gia—m fact there is at present
nothing like it now in operation
in the south. A Sentinel man
suggested that Cordele is a good
place for the location of such an
enterprise and the gentleman his
talked very favorably of sug
gestion. The printery wood expects by
to manufacture signs
the use of large steel type.
Discovered by a Woman.
Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by a lady in this
country. “Disease fastened its
clutches upon her and for seven
years she withstood its severest tests,
but her vital organs were under
mined and death seemed imminent.
For three months she coughed in
cessantly, and could not sleep. She
finally discovered a way to recovery,
by purchasing of us a bottle of D*.
King’s New Discovery for Consump
tion, and was so much relieved on
taking first dose, that she slept all
night; and with two bottles, has
been absolutely cured. ^ Her nr me v
Mrs. Luther Lutz.” Thus writes W.
C. Hawnick – Co., of Shelby, N. C.
Trial bottles free at City Drug Store.
Regular size 50c and $1.00. Every
bottle guaranteed. 4
Arabi’s Heavy Loss by Fire.
The Macon Telegraph’s corres
pondent at Arabi, writing under
date of April 9th, said :“A big fire
was discovered here yesterday
morning. The store of R. A. Bed
good – Sou was destroyed, as were V.
also the livery stable of R.
Bowen, L. D. Simmons’ dwelling,
Masonic hall, T. A. Royal’s dwel
ling, barber shop, postoflice and
many outbuildings; M. J. Mich
ael’s dwelling was torn down to
stop the spread of the fire.
“The school boys did valiant
service in fighting the fire and
finally checking it
“Bedgood – Son’s loss is about
$9,000. Their insurance is $8,000.
“Mr. Bowen’s loss was $1,000,
less $600 insurance. The cause of
the fire was probably a defective
chimney.”
Treasury Department,
Office of iihe Comptroller Currency. of
Washington, D. C., Apr. 5,1899.
Notice is hereby given to all per
sons who may have claims Cordele, against
“The First National Bank of
Georgia,” that the same must be
presented to James McDowell, Re
ceiver, with the legal proof thereof,
within three months from this date,
or they may be disallowed.
Charles G. Dawes,
Comtrollerof the Currency.
A fluent speaker utters between
7,000 and 8,000 words in the
course of an hour’s uninterrupted
speaking; 75 words a minute is a
fair average.
Death Blow From Baseball Bat.
While playing in a game of
base ball last. Saturday a son of
Mr. N. O. Jordan, who lives near
Americus, was accidentally struck
on the head with a bat. The
blow caused much pain and on
Sunday morning young Jordan
died from the effect of the lick.

CORDELE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Will Close May 17th With Appropriate
Exercises—Hew TrusteesEleoted.
At a meeting of the School Board
of Trustees held last Monday
night, Messrs. W. H. Rugely and
J. K. Smith were re-elected as
members to succeed themselves,
and Mr. R. L. Wilson was elected
to fill the unexpired time of Mr.
W. E. Cody, who resigned for the
reason that he expects to leave the
city for some months.
The Board appointed Prof. R. J.
Prentiss, President Jno. E. How
ell, and J. W. Bivins a committee
of three to arrange for the closing
exercises of the school.
The Chautauqua, this year,
comes after the close of school
and will not, therefore, interfere
with the school in giving that en
tertainment, which the commit
tee promises will be better than
anything of the kind ever given
in Cordele.
Bishop Candler, or Dr. Pollock,
president of Mercer college, or
some other eminent divine will be
invited to preach the chautauqua commence
ment sermon. The
grounds will be asked for, and for
two nights the school children
will entertain their parents, their
friends, and the many visitors
who will come.
.What a Big Lie.
Some newspaper men are terri
able liars. In writing said of a cyclone
out west one of them it turn
ed a well wrong side out, a cellar
upside down, moved a township
line, blew the staves out of a bar
rel of whiskey and left nothing
but a bunghole, changed the day
of the week, blew the hair off a
bald-headed man, blew mortgages
off tarms, blew all the cracks out
of a fence, took all of the wind
out of a politician, blew the age
off an old maid, picked a creek up
from its banks and set it to run
ning on top of a hill and took all
the black out of a negro.
“A word to the wise is sufficient”
and a word from the wise should be
sufficient, but you ask, who are the
wise ? Those who know. The olt
repeated experience of trustworthy
persons maybe taken for knowledge.
Mr. W M Terry says Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy gives better satisfac
tion than any other in the market.
He has been in the drug business at
Elkton, Ky., for twelve years; has
sold hundreds of bottles of this
remedy and nearly all other cough
medicines manufactured, which
shows conclusively that Chamber
lain’s is the most satisfactory to the
people, and is the best. For sale by

“Spring, of which the poets
sing, and lovers dream, was here
in all its glory yesterday. How
ever, it was a little shy at its de

itself of this embarrassment in a
day or two,” says the LaGrange
Reporter.
Rheumatism Cured.
My wife has used Chair berlain’s Pain
Balm for rheumatism with great re
lief, and I can recommend it as a
splendid liniment for rheumatism and
other household use for which we have
found it valuable.—W J Cuyler, Red

If a man were to wait for ex

out in some far distant period of
eternity.
I was reading an advertisement of
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy in the Worcester
Enterprise recently, which leads me
to write this. I can truthfully say I
never used any remedy equal to it
for colic and diarrhoea. I have never

SENT A BULLET TO HIS HEART
Prominent Young Man Ends His Life
in Columbus, Ga., Last Monday.
Eighteen hiontha ago Mr. Oscar
Bailey, a prominent young man
of Macon, Ga., disappeared mys
teriously. He turned up later in
Columbps and accepted a position
with the Georgia, Souther – Flori
da railroad.
At his room on Huguenin
Heights at 2:30 o’clock last Mon
day, says the Columbus Ledger,
Mr. Bailey complained of feeling
drowsy, and said he would go to
his room and take a nap.
It is believed he then had in
tent of suicide on his mind, as he
re-dressed himself with his best
suit of clothing and put on a
white neck tie. Soon after he
had gone to his room a report of
a pistol was heard, and his death
was instantaneous, the ball from
a pistol in his own hand having
penetrated his heart.
When found, he was sitting in
a rocking chair, his head thrown
back and the pistol was lying on
the floor by his side, and a copy
of Milton’s poems in his lap.
No cause has been assigned for
the rash deed. The coroner’s jury
returned a verdict of suicide.
