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.

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 Thousands of ships have been wrecked in sight of lighthouses. Bismarck’s Iron Nerve Was the result of his splendid health. Indomitable will and tremendous energy are not found where Stomach, Liver, Kidneys and Bowels are out of order. If you want these qualities and the success they bring, use Dr. King’s New Life Pills. They develop every power of brain and body. Only 25c. at drug stores. 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.” ’ A TEXAS WONDER.

H. T. Horton. 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.

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. No Ri|(ht to U|(linc8H.

McGregor is editor and proprietor of the Times at Statesboro, Ga., and he is a good newspaper man. 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 weather who uses Prickly Ash Bit ters.

Miss Mattie Lasseter is at Lake land, Fla., and will spend six weeks or two months in the “Land of Flowers” before returning home. A correspondent writing from Indian Spring to the Macon Tele graph, says “Col. W. H. Mc Kenzie and Rev. B. H. Palmer, of Cordele, are at the Calumet.” Dick Taylor was a little “uu peart” for a day or two this week, and his brother Marion waited on the customers at the Acme Bottling Co’s, soda water parlors in his stead. Have you oil in your vessels ? Some of our merchants have, but have been prevented from selling the kerosene by the inspectors who have pronounced the quality very inferior. It is our opinion that the manufacturers should be made to pay the retail dealers for such a hitch in tlieir sales. J. W. Bivins is away this week enjoying the company of the press gang. No body of gentlemen and ladies ever assemble to join an excursion who carry with them hearts more full of happiness and good cheer. The Sentinel wishes each and every one of them an enjoyable trip and a safe return. The Montgomery Monitor has instituted a scheme by which it proposes to receive watermelons to appease the appetite and quench the thirst of its typographers. The following is a proposition paragraph the Monitor is running: “Bring on your watermelons. Re member, we give the person bring ing us the largest melon the paper for a year.” In this issue commences the ap pearance of an advertisement for the enterprising firm of J. A. Las aeter – Co. This firm is making a specialty just now of the famous Butterick Patterns and did, very recently, receive a valuable pre mium in “cash” for a larger sale of the Butterick patterns than any other house lias made in this section. At eleven o’clock last Sunday moruing Rev. J. W. Weston preached an excellent sermon ai the Methodist church, The dis course was especially interesting because of the fact that his sub ject was so fitting to the evil habit a few of our citizens in Cordele have in “tale-telling” others acting as “tale-bearers, 5 * and Bro. Weston said the per son—he or she—who opens an ear to receive such gossip is equally as mean as the dealer. The more righteous people here, the people who are trying to live peaceably , would be glad for tho ministers of the gospel to preach a series of sermons on that same subject.
