meeting a success. He has spared
no labor that was necessary to the
pleasure and profitableness of the
institute.
4. That we cannot give Prof.

mode8t praise. We know that
immoderate fulsome praise would
be distasteful to him; but *ve
must, say that in our judgment he
knows how to conduct an insti
tute in a way that conduces to the
greatest practical good. We have
not had a dull session; the teach
ers have felt at home from start to
finish. Mr. Smith’s kindness,
modesty and sympathy have had
the happy effect of rendering our
meetings free, informal and en
joyable. “the Teachers ^ of

Who Builds a Town ?
The prosperity of a town, vil
lage or city is not guided by the
wealth of its inhabitants, but by
the uniformity with which they
pull together when any important
duty is to be accomplished. A
man with a thousand dollars at
his command, and an interest in
the welfare of his town at heart,
can do more for the. building and
improvement of it than a mil
lionaire who locks up his capital
and snaps his finger at home
progress.—Hope Gazette.
Would not Sufler ho Again for Fifty Times
ltn Price.
I awoke last night with severe
pains in my stomach. I never felt
so badly in all my life. When I
came down to work this morning
I felt so weak I could hardly work.
I went to Miller – McCurdy’s
drug store and they recommended
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. It worked
like magic and one dose fixed me
all right. It certainly is the finest
thing I ever used for stomach
trouble. 1 shall not be without it
in my home hereafter, for I should
not care to endure the sufferings
of last night again for fifty times
its price.—G. H. Wilson, Livery

The Sunday Ordinance.
The ordinance passed by the
mayor and council last week pro
hibiting the sale of any article ou
Sunday, other than medicine by
druggists, was wholly observed last
Sunday. beloved Rev. E. Culpepper, the
pastor of the First Baptist
Church, announced from the pul
pit that observed it was in Cordele, the first that Sunday sales
ever
had always been made in Cordele
and mostly by church members.
He commended the council for the
ordinance, but. thought it strange
that it was incessary for the coun
cil to have to force the people by
an ordinance to observe the Sab
bath.
All places of business—meat
markets, bakeries, livery stables
and other places where sales have
been going on—were closed, and
no soda water or cigars could be
bought at the drug stores. Even
those who have made sales seemed
to be satisfied, and those who have
been buying will get used to doing
without within a Sunday or two.

County Court is in session this
week at Vienna. Quite a number
of cases are on docket, but they
are being disposed of as rapidly as
possible. The first four cases Tues
day were against parties who live

ed verdicts in favor of defend
ants. Case against Mr. Christmas,
“assault and battery,” verdict for
defendant. Case against Mr. Lee
McDonald, same charge, guilty,
nominal fine. Case against W.
E. Smith, violating local option
law, was harder fought than any
other case. Verdict, guilty. Fine,
12 months of hard labor in gang or
a fine of $850.00.
Up to the time of going to press
no news is received as to whether
the cases had bean called for trial
against Mr. John Perry, editor of
the Cordele Hornet, for carrying
conoealed weapons and pointing a
pistol at another. The law-break
ers are having “a hot time” in
Vienna this week.
Last Tuesday morning, at 3:30
o’clock, two cottages in tbe south
eastern portion of the city were
destroyed by fire. The buildings
were only about 15 feet apart.
Just how the fire originated we are
not informed. The first one that
was burnt was occupied by Mr.
Harris Gunter, the other by
Mr. Sandusky. Only about half
of the former’s while all the lat
ter’s household goods were saved.
The buildings, so we are informed,
belonged to Col. W. S. Thomson,
and the loss is covered by insur
ance.
