the editors in meeting.
The Press Gang at Dublin.—J. W. Bivins
Writes a Letter to The Sentinel.
To The Sentinel :—
The editors of the Georgia weekly
newspapers are at Dublin this
week in full force, attending the
thirteenth annual meeting of their
association. Counting the ladies
in the party, there are about 200
present. > About thirty of us had
a special car on the Macon, Dub
lin – Savannah road and when we
arrived in Dublin a royal recep
tion awaited us; about a dozen
whistles began to blow, the town
was lined with flags, and the
depot was packed with people.
We were quickly hustled off in
carriages to comfortable homes
while the band played Dixie.
The writer has the pleasure of
stopping at the beautiful home of
Mr. H. H. Smith, on Main street.
Mr. Smith is president of the
Laurens Banking Company and
one of the prime movers in the
upbuilding of his city. I am re
ceiving elegant attention at his
home.
Dublin is a beautiful city, and
the hospitality of the people to
the editors is unbounded.
Directly after I got off the train
I was the recipient of a genuinely
good joke that made me some
what more prominent than I
otherwise would have been, but I
must insist upon withholding it
from the Sentinel at present.
Dublin has 4,000 people; electric
lights, waterworks, sewerage, two
banks, hame factory, ice factory,
brick yard, furniture factory, car
riage factory, foundry and ma
chine works; many brick build
ings, and elegant residences, and
indeed Dublin is one of the best
towns in Georgia, and, as the pun
goes, “keeps on doubling.”
Monday night an informal re
ception was teudered the visitors
at'the court house.
Tuesday morning at 9:30 o’clock
the convention was formally
called to order. Mayor J. B.
Hicks, on the part of the citizens,
and Mr. T. V. Sanders welcomed
the editors and distinguished vis
itors to the city of Dublin. Editor
Ralph Bardwell, of Talbotton,
responded for the editors, and
Governor Candler for the distin
guished visitors. After a short
business session, the

CORDELE. GA., FRIDAY. JULY 14, 1899.
WHAT HE SAW IN
An Editor Visited in our Magic City ;
Writes About What He Saw,
Editor Thomas A. McGregor
visited Cordele recently, and when
he returned to his home at States
boro he “wrote us up” in a com
plimentary article which says:
“We spent twenty-four hours
very pleasautly at the hustling
town of Cordele this week. That
little city is about ten years old
but from a business standpoint it
would not be a poor town to be in
existence a quarter of a century.
There are two - banks there, sash,
door aud blind factory, an ice
factory,two foundries with $10,000
capital each, a cotton mill, water
works and electric lights. There
is a cotton compress that handles
100,000 bales annually, and four
cotton warehouses. Five passen
ger trains meet there at noon and
you can go in as many directions
all at the same time. There are
also four elegant churches, tour
hotels and an opera house. The
Suwanee House cost about $50,000
and is owned by Mr. T. H. John
son. Mr. Johnson’s wife has rela
tives in this county and is a queen
among hotel managers. The
Suwanee is a 52-room house aud
yet it is often filled. We have
known Mr. and Mrs. Johnson from
childhood, and they have ever
been noted for having something
good to eat. While the hotels are
all good, we know from experience
that the Suwanee will treat you
finely. We mention all these
things simply to show what
Statesboro might be and what
she is going to be in the near
future.”
It’s your own fault if you use old
fashioned, greasy salves and lini
ments that soil your clothing and
offend your olfactories, when you
can get that very pleasant and stain
less liquid, Dr. Tichenor’s Antiseptic.
It heals Cuts, Burns, etc., quicker
and with less suffering than any
thing. Only 50 cts. at druggists and
they like to sell it. J

The South is The Place for the Negro.
The Houston (Tex.) Post (Deni.)
says: “Booker T. Washington,
the noted negro educator, has
just returned from a trip to
Europe, and says that the condi
tion of his people here is much
better than that of the poor white
people across the waters. He also
quotes another negro, who has
traveled much more abroad than
he has, as saying that the South
is the best place for their race,
and advises them to stay where
they are.”

THE STATE FAIR THIS FALL.
The Program is One That Will Be Very
Entertaining and Instructive.
Great is Atlantal And great
preparations are being made for
the State Fair that will be held
in Atlanta this Fall.
It is claimed {hat the best horse
racing that Georgia lias enjoyed
for a number of years, will bs an
interesting feature. Good horse
racing draws the people when
everything else fails. $0,000 will
be given in prizes, and maybe
more.
Five hundred dollars in pre
miums will be given to exhibitors
of high bred dogs. This depart
ment will be an adjunct to the
poultry and pet stock display.
For the first time since its in
vention the presses and gins of
the round bale system will be
publicly exhibited at the fair in
Atlanta this fall. Many, doubt
less, have had an opportunity of
seeing the round bale and the ma
chinery for baling it, but it has
never before been placed on ex
hibition at a State fair or exposi
tion.
The railroad collision and the
tug of war are going to be seen at
the fair. And these will be of
much interest to thousands of
visitors. The “tug of war” will
be the finest illustration of the
athletic power of strong Georgians
—and she has some physical
giants—ever witnessed in Geor
gia.
The committee on attractions is
now negotiating with show gentle
men for-an attraction that will be
a specially unique character for
most of our people to witness.
A nan in Omaha has a pair of
diving horses and elks that per
form a very unique act. One by
one these intelligent animals walk
out on a plank and dive into the
water, just like school boys in
swimming. If this attraction is
secured, you can now think of the
delight in seeing a horse or an elk
walk out. on a spring board over
the crystal waters of Clara Meer
and dive off. The committee is
also making an effort to secure
the services of a balloon company
that makes a specialty of novelty
balloon ascensions. And the Com
mittee on Attractions is making
an effort to have Charley Kinzer’s
trotting dogs at the fair. These
dogs have been exhibited all over
the country.
The fair opens October 18th,
continuing till November 4th, and
there will be many attractions
any one of which will be worth the
time and money spent to see.
IS IT RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend Patent
Medicine* ?
From Sylvan Valley News, Brevrad, N. C.
It may be a question whether the
editor of a newspaper has the right
to publicly recommend any of the
various proprietary medicines which
flood the market, yet as a preventive
of suffering we feel It a duty to say
a good word for Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We
have known and used this medicine
in our family for twenty years and
have always found lb reliable. In
many cases a dose of this remedy
would save hours of suffering while
a physician is awaited. We do not
believe in depending implicitly on
any medicine for a cure, but we do
believe that if a bottle of Chamber
lain’s Diarrhoea Remedy were kept
on hand and administered at the in
ception of an attack much suffering
might be avoided and in very many
cases the presence of a physician
would not be required. At least this
has been our experience during the
past twenty – years. For sale by J. B

The Board of Education held a
meeting Friday afternoon and
l unanimously elected Prof. J. T.
Saunders, of Fitzgerald, to the un
filled position of principal of the
white school in Cordele. The
hoard considered itself very fort
unate that circumstances were
«uch as to place Prof Saunders on
the list of applicants for the place.
He has been a prominent teacher
for y-ars. He moved from Vir
ginia to Fitzgerald in 1890, since
which time he has been superin
tendent of the public schools of
that city. He was not an applicant
there for the position next year,
desiring to make a change, The
fact that he has property in Fitz
gerald caused him t.o accept a
smaller salary to be this near to it.
Our people will be pleased with
him and he with them. This com
pletes the list of teachers and
guarantees for Cordele the best
term of scool in her history.

The woman who is lovely in
face, form and temper will always
have friends, but one who would
be attractive must keep her health.
If she is weak, sickly and all run
down, she will be nervous and ir

or kidney trouble, her impure
blood will cause pimples, blotches,
skin eruption and a wretched com
plexion. Electric Bitters is the
best medicine in the world to reg

and to purify the blood. It gives
strong nerves,bright eyes, smooth,

Death of J, W. Graves
The life of Mr. John W. Graves
has taken its flight. While it
naturally grieved the mother,
brother and sisters to give him up,
yet the death angel must have
given him in exchange for a long
suffering much relief.
His demise occurred Monday
morning at 5:30 o’clock at the
home of his mother, on Thirteenth
avenue. He lingered in the
clutches of that fatal disease,
consumption, for a number of
years and had been confined to
his room for the last two years or
more.
The funeral services were con
ducted by Kev. J. W. Weston at
the home of Mrs. Graves at 4:80
o’clock Monday afternoon, and
the interment occurred at the
Sunny Side cemetery.
He eats heartily in the hottest

bowels in perfect order. Sold by
