Interesting Oommnnioations Bead.
Committee to Look After New Dirt
Roads.—Other Important Busi

The Cordele Board of Trade ev
idently means business, for it
held another very interesting
and important meeting at the
city council chamber last Tuesday

important business. Promptly at
3 o’clock President John E. How
ell called the meeting to order.
After the roll call the Board of

from General Manager Cecil Gab
bet, of the G. – A. road, in which
Mr. Gabbet stated that as soon as
Americus lifted the quarantine
against Ocilla and Fitzgerald the
shoo-fly train would be resumed
between Ocilla and Americus.
Secretary Dorris then read an
interesting letter from Mr. Guy
ler Smith, of Atlanta, in refer
ence to a cottou factory for Cor
dele. The following is a copy of
the letter:
W. H. Dorris, Esq., Cordele, Ga.
Dear Sir.—Your letter of the
4th inst., received. I am just on
the eve of departing to Lawrence
ville, Ga., to organize a company
to build a cotton factory at that
place. It is impossible, owing to
the lack of time, at my disposal
this morning, to make you any
proposition that will be suffi
ciently complete for you to lay
before i the board on Tuesday,
though would be glad to do so
if I had the time today. However,
you may state to the members of
the board, unofficially, that I can
do this for them: Organize a
company locally,get all the money
we can subscribed in the district,
which is the best plan for all con
cerned, and then I can arrange to
get the balance needed to build
the mill from other sources which
are in my hands for investments
of this character. It is not at all
difficult just now to get sufficient
money subscribed to build a mill,
but in order to do this the people
of the place that desire the mill
to be located there, must take
stock to some extent. I do not
seek any tax exemptions, but or spec- only
ial privileges of this sort,
good locations and progressive and
men to put in they- money
show their interest in the enter
prise. 4 North who
I have clients are
seeking sites to move their mills
to, and will see to this later with
you if it is possible to direct them
to Cordele. Speak of this matter
to the gentlemen of the board on
Tuesday, and look into the
chanches of getting money locally
for a mill, write me fully, the let
ter to get here on Friday morn- do
ing next. We may be able to
something together. Smith.

The secretary was requested him to
write Mr. Smith and request
to be present at the next regular
meetiug of the Board of Trade.
The question of opening up Cor- one
or two new dirt roads into
dele, and especially the urged ne
cessity of one leading north from
Cordele, and east of the G. S. – F.
railroad into the B. A. Wood set
tlement, was earnestly discussed.
A special committee of five was
appointed to look into the matter,
and to take some steps towards
getting the roads. Outside of
some routine business these were
the main points under considera
tion at Tuesday afternoon’s ses
sion. The different committes
are at work on the extention of
the Waycross Air Line railroad,
the increased rates on cotton to
the Carolina mills, and the gov
ernment building. tor the
The evident necessity
Board of Trade has been demon
strated, and Cordele is at once
feeling the benefits to be derived
from this organized body of busi
ness men. If the freight mills rates on
cotten to the Carolina are
reduced, the farmers will feel the
direct good done for them. About
forty are now members of this
organization, and at least
one hundred are wanted to join.
The regular meeting will be held
at the city council chamber next
Tuesday afternoon at 3 o’clock.
The Cordele Sentinel,
ACCEPTED THE PLANS.
The New School Building Will be
Started in Next Pew Bays.
The Special Committee on Building
to get Bide on Work With Least
Possible Delay,
The committee appointed by the
Board of Trustees to select suita
ble plans and specifications for a
new school building appeared be
fore the full board, in called ses
sion, last Monday night, and
made their report. All the mem
bers of the board were present
and discussed at some length the
report submitted, and by a unani
mous vote approved the report
and instructed the committee to
proceed to perfect the plans and
specifications in every detail, and
at the earliest moment practica
ble obtain estimates and receive
bids for the building, and let the
work begin.
The building is to be two stories
high with four large class rooms
on the lower floor, and four on
the upper floor.
The building will be sixty by
seventy feet, sliding and folding
doors will be so arranged that
three large rooms can be thrown
into one forming an auditorium
seventy feet long one way and
forty feet long the other, with
seating capacity of from four to
five hundred people. It is pro
posed also to have the stage so ar
ranged and the floor so planned
that the audience directly in front
of the stage will not obstruct the
view of those seated behind them,
but the floor in every direction
will be so elevated that it will be
very easy for everybody in the au
dience to get full view of the
stage.
Still another great convenience
being figured on, and which is al
most a certainty, is the method of
heating the building. It is pro
prosed to heat the entire building
by steam and hot air pipes. By
heatiDg the building in this way it
not only provides a more uniform
heat, but it is actually less expen
sive in point of fuel and about

lumber of the old building that can
be of practical use in the uew

combined with the three thousand
dollars it is proposed to use, the
board expects to have a school
building when completed that will
represent from four to five thous

to come, and one that will staud
the pressure of any storm that

Hi. Farewell Sermon.
Rev. Elam Culpepper preached
his farewell sermon here as pastor
of the First Baptist church last
Sunday night. The house was
filled and every seat taken. The
subject of his discourse was, “She
hath done what she could.” Hie
minister explained at the opening
of the service the reasons why he
resigned the pastorate. He said
he resigned for two reasons. First
was on account of his ill health,
and the second reason was that
he wanted to move to the hills of
North Georgia and had accepted
the pastorate of two or three
country churches,* which work
would not be so heavy on him and
giye him more rest, which he so
much needs.
His sermon Sunday night was
exceptionally good. The splendid
advice given to the young people
could only eminate from a grand
and noble heart, such as this man
of God has. His Bermon was full
of love and wisdom, Mr. Cul
pepper is universally liked by the
people of Cordele, and many
hearts will be sad when he has

CAPT. HIRAM WILLIAMS, SR.
Rev. Elam Culpepper, pastor of
the First Baptist church of Cor
dele, preached the funeral Bermon
in the presence of a large con
course of friends to the deceased.
The Sentinel, just three weeks
ago to-day, told of the severe ill
ness ; that his family then was
expecting that almost any mo
ment would ,, be .. his , last. , The Sbnt
g ftve a sbort hietor -V of his
useful life and gave his picture,
which was such a good likeness
^at reproduce it in this ar
ticH and .bo give » part of his
history.
Capt. Williams was born Oct.
17 ; 1815, and was, therefore,
eighty-four years old last month.
He ^ raiged in South Carolina,
and moved to Dooly coiin ty sixty
years ago. Here he has mads a
record for honesty, uprightness,
integrity, true Christian charact
er and at all times was looked
upon with highest esteem and
confidence. His children, grand
children, and great grandchildren
are three score and ten, and all
were raised and trained along the
paths of rectitude and right. A
good old citizen of Dooly is dead.
A useful life has passed from this
into that better life beyond; his
good deeds will long live after
him, and his exemplary life is
worth patterning after .The Senti
nel with a hoste of friends extend
sympathy to the bereaved wife,
family and relatives.
PaDlie Sale Day.
Last Tuesday was made more
lively in Vienna by virtue of the
fact that Sheriff Jake Roberts, and
Cordele’s city marshall, W. H.
Bussey, had some rather large le
gal sales to make. Quite a num
ber went up from Cordele, and at
times bidding was a little lively
for lots being sold by the city mar
shall to satisfy city tax fi fas.
Nothing was sold at a fabulous
price for nothing very extra was
offered tor sole, but the usual
custom was kept up, that when a
little Cordele dirt is offered at
public outcry there is always a
scramble to buy, and most every
one who went up came back own
ing at least one extra lot.

William Gates Shoot. A. E. Brady
Five Times.
The Telegraph correspondent,
under date November 4th, gives
the following account of the
Gaten-Brady difficulty:
A. E. Brady, son of former
Representative Wright Brady, of
Sumter county, was shot and very
seriously wounded on the streets
here today by William Gain.
Brady had been abusing GatwB
for having arrested him about
two years ago, when the latter
was marshal of Abbeville, and
they were going out of town to
settle th6 diffiulty when Brady,
according to witnesses, suddenly
assaulted Gates with a knife, and
the latter fired five shots, each
taking effect and wounding Brady
in the neck, shoulder, stomach
and both arms. Gates was ar
rested and is in jail, but it is gen
erally believed the shooting was
in Belf-defense.

o’clock, at the residence of the
bride’s father, Mr. J. J. Wilder
and Miss Emmie Williams were
united in the holy bonds of mat
rimony by their pastor, Rev. E.
Culpepper. It was a quiet home
wedding, only a few friends and
relatives being present to witness
the solemn nuptials. After the
ceremony the happy couple went
to church to hear their pastor’s
farewell sermon. Many congrat
ulations were showered upon them
by friends and admirers after
services.
The groom is a young man of
excellent character, and is held in
the highest esteem by all who
know him.
The bride is one of Cordele’s
fairest daughters,possessing many
accomplishments, and numbering
her friends by the score.
Mr. and Mrs. Wilder left Cor
