Has the largest weekly crcula tion in Dooly. VOL. 12. A TREMENDOUS SUCCESS. THIS WAS THE VERDICT OF THOUSANDS WHO V1STED CORDELE’S CARNIVAL. The City Enthusiastic Over the Success of This Car nival-—A Greater One Next Year. Far beyond the expectations of those who most ardently advosat ed holding the Carnival in Cor dele last week, was the success of the great free show. Not only were the thousands of visitors agreeably surprised at Cordele’s ability to hold a Carnival, but hundreds were heard to say that the mammoth show was anperior to any they had seen in this sec tion, Americua and Macon not ac cepted. Reaching a half mile in length, led by the Fitzgerald band, which furnished excellent music, follow ed in mid-line by a band com posed ot home talent and mem bers of the Spooner Dramdtio Co., pressing its way with difficulty through the immense throng of people, standing on Seventh street and on Eleventh Avenue, the trades display attracted not only admiration and praise from the public present, but their amazement and wonder that Cor dele did it. Each display tried to outdo the other, and yet it would take a committee capable of ren dering a close decision to pick the best one. It would take skill and ability as a writer, and more space than can be spared in the Sentinel to attempt to give a pen picture of each display separately, and therefore it is only attempted to give the names of those enterpris ing persons who had the larger dis plays in the parade: The fire company, three displays; Tomlin Harris Machine Co., Cordele Sash Door and Lumber Co., Frank Teuber’s carriage shop, Hill Gro cery Co., Clegg Crocery Co., B.

The plaza performances in the afternoon and evening, the cake walk by the school children and the fireworks at night deserve special mention. Prof. Erhart, the promoter and director of the Carnival, as well as the commit tees who aided in the Carnival, deserve thanks for their work. The fact has been thoroughly demonstrated that Cordele knows how to give a Carnival and the reputation made this year will be more than doubled another, for those who were fearful of 1 his undertaking are now enthusiastic and will take hold another year and pull together for success, for the advertisement to Cordele and Dooly county, and for even a larger crowd of visitors than was in Cordele last Thursday and Friday, Every family should keep Dr. Tichenor’s Antiseptic to use in case of accident.

POUND. CORDELE. GA., FRIDAY, DECEMBER I, 1899. FORT AND LEWIS. Botb Candidates for Oongrew in Oor dele During the Carnival The Prospeota Are That There Will Be Qnlte a Lively Race Between These Two Gentlemen. Congressman E. B. Lewis of Montezuma, and Judge Allen Fort of Americus, were in Cordele last week during the carnival. It is thoroughly understood that the former will be a candidate for re election to congress and it is just as well understood that Judge Fort is squarely in the race. Both were losing no time meeting their old friends and in making new ones. Possibly no two men are better known to the people of the Third congressional district than are these two, and the heated race they made three years ago for congress will not soon be for gotten. Mr. Lewis was the V, CONGRESSMAN E. B. LEWIS.' successful candidate at that time, and is now serving his second term. The friends of Congress man Lewis claim that he is stronger now than he was then, and that his chances are better for a re-election to a third term than ever before. The friends of Judge Fort are equally sanguine that now is the accepted time for him to make the race and that he will be a sure winner. The friends of Lewis say that he has not only made a good record so far but that he has represented the district just long enough to get the gener al run of things and that the people should recognize this fact and return him to congress. The friends of Fort say that h e has had a life long experience in % m I % m £ 1 \ JUDQE ALLEN FORT. public affairs and that he is amply able to hitch in harness anywhere at any time and the fact that Lewis has had four years is one of the very reasons why Fort should now be elected. Be all this as it may, both can didates are taking time by the forelock in meeting the people and letting them know that they are in the race and iu to stay, and judging from what could be seen in Cordele last week neither will allow the grass to grow under their feet between now and the primary which will not lake place before the summer of next year. That the race will be a lively one there seems to be no doubt, but to make any bind of a pre diction this early would seem but foolishness. Death of Miss Lizzie Holder. Miss Lizzie Holder, aged 05 years, died of paralysis, after three or four days’ illness, Sun day, night at 8 o’clock, at the res idence of her sister, Mrs, M. N. Haynes, corner 9th avenue and 6th street. Her remains were in terred in the cemetery Monday afternoon at 8 o’clock, Rev. J. W. Weston, pastor of the Meth odist church, performing the burial services at the grave.

COMMISSIONER EASON. Passed Through ('ordele Oast Tues day En Route to Atlanta. Hon. Thomas Eason, of the State Prison Commission, passed through Cordele last Tuesday en route to Atlanta. One of the last official acts of Gov. \V. Y. Atkin son was the appointment of Mr. Eason to this position, and it goes without Baying that it was one of the very best appointments he ever made. For twenty years Mr. Eason was solicitor general of the superior court of the Ocmulgee circuit, which position he was holding at the time of his appoint ment to the office he-is now hold ing. Mr. Eason’s home is at McRae, Ga., but he is no better known there and no more popular than among the people of Cordele, who are always glad to give him a hearty shake of the hand. The prison commissioners of Georgia, under the new law, are showing to the people of Georgia and other states that the legisla ture did the proper thing when r m I HON. TOM EASON. they inaugurated the present cgn ' edicts, tte dispoaitio. of as to those lured out and as to the state farm, are very gratifying and seems to have met with the full approval of the people. Commissioner Eason was ap parently enjoying his usual good health. The rush of his official duties would only allow him to stop in Cordele between trains, but during even this short stay his friends were glad to see him.
