Gen. Palmer says lie is not for Bry
an We are well aware of t hat fact.
.
He is for nothing democratic.
“If General Joe Wheeler is ever
put on the lighting line,” remarXs
the Macon News, it will not take
him long to make a record.”
A Tennessee exchange says that
the man who never shuts a door
during cold weather should be sem
as a missionary to the Klondllke.
At last it seems to be assured that
Lieutenant Gilmore, of the York-.
town, has been released by the
Filipinos and is now inside the
American lines. It ha* been reported
a number of times that this brave
officer had been exchanged,
heretofore the information
proved to be without truth.
20TJ CENTURY.
Whether January 1, 1900, or
whether January 1, 1901, is the be
ginning of the new century, “that’s
the question.” If January 1, 1900 is
the beginning of the new century,
then those who claim this to be the
fact, are correct in saying this is the
first year of the the 20th century.
If on the other hand January 1,1901
is the beginning of the new century,
then those who claim this to be the
fact, are correct in saying we must
live through the year 1900 and reach
January 1, 1901 before we reach the
first year ot the 20th century.
Advertisements appear in the
Sentinel. One advertiser is satis
fiod that this is the last year of the
old century, while another calls this
the 20th century. Now, whether
the advertiser who claims January
1, 1900 is correct, or whether the
advertiser who claims that January
I, tool is correct, ns wo said before,
“that’s the question.” All the
newspapers have contained articles
on this question, and in some
those articles it is claimed that Jan
uary 1900 begins the 20th century,
and in other articles it is
that Man nary 1, 1901 begins the
century.
Now, these two contentions form
1 lie question under controversy', and
the funny part about the whole
is that every time a writer writes, it
matters not how powerful he writes,
he gets so mixed up himself, and
In's article is so mixed tip with “Jan
uary 1. J900,” and “January 1, ,*
1901,” and with “ue?z” ani *
century, that by time the
gets through reading what the
has written, the reader is as badly
mixed up as the writer, until “Jan
uary 1, 1900,” and •'•January 1,19oi”
begins to roll in his head while the
proper solution to the question
gins to wonder away tike stars that
wander in t lie trackless void.
B n anti oil we ; Some wit h
the 1900 piau and others with the
1901 plan. As tho little boy would
oft repeat, “once one is two,” and
when corrected would for a little
while change to “once once is one.”
only to drop hack to Ins tune
“once on« is two.” So some con
tinue to say Jan. 1, 1900, and others
say Jan. 1, 1901.
•‘J?ut what matter it?
Docs it matter a bit
Which one is correct?
Does it mat-tor a speck'?”
‘ ‘If to begin or begun.
You can take either one,
And next January's sun
Will settle all tho fun.”

The teachers of this comity met
at. Vienna last (Saturday to make
their school contracts for (lie cur
rent year with County School Com
missioner E. G. Green, and to re
organize 1 he Teachers’Institute for
I he county. Contracts were signed
for all the white schools, with only
a few exceptions. organized,
The Institute was
for the year 19(H), with Prof. Jas.
T. Saunders, superintendent of
the Cordele Public Schools, as
President, and Miss Thorpe, of the
Houston High School at Arabi, as
secretary. The Institute will hold
monthly sessions, the next session
to be at Vienna on the first Sat
urday in February. Commissioner
Green will give the teachers
checks for their monthly salaries
at each of these sessions.
An interesting program was ar
ranged lor the next meeting of the
Institure, and teachers appointed
to take part in the discussions.
There will be sixty-four white
schools in the county this year,
exclusive of Cordele and Vienna,
which are both under local sys
tems, and forty-four colored.
CENTRAL POINT,
Christmas with its joys and its
sorrows is numbered with the
past. We look back upon the
past week only regretting that
the whole of life is not one con
tinued round of festivities, one
continued sweet dream.
We had the pleasure of attend
ing several dinings during Christ
inas week, but the one given on
Christmas day at the home of P.
S. Barber, deserves special men
tion. Besides a thirty-pound
gobler, which was quite promi
nent before the hungry guests,
there could be seen a variety of
cakes, fruits and jellies, which
certainly did tempt the appetite.
Mr. and Mrs. Barber are very
pleasing hosts, who know exactly
how to entertain their numerous
friends. This most excellent fam
ily will move in a few weeks to
Tilton, or near by, where Mr. U.
has a saw mill in operation.
Together dining with other Wed: friends esday I
attended a on
last,at the home ofMr..T.H.Raines,
where we enjoyed a bountiful re
past, which was served in elegant
style. The writer was present
also at a Christmas tree which was
given at Wenona on Christmas
afternoon. This tree was lstdened
with beautiful presents, and, but
for two mistakes, it would have
been an occasion of some interest
to the elder heads as well as of
much joy to the young.
Santa Claus, you doubtless re
member, was that jolly old St.
N ieholas, a big hearted bachelor
bishop, " bo lived in Asia
Minor about three hundred years
before Christ was born. This
kind and sainted bachelor was
legendary character; but such a
man actually lived and was
garded as the patron saint,
cause of his generosity and piety.
Let every mother keep fresh in the
minds of their children the sweet
memory of tins good bishop
long ago. We should remember
that it takes a good, a handsome
aud a wise man to represent old
Santa Claus. Then let us no
longer frighten our children with
horrid paper board faces, but let
1 them remember old ‘ i Santa” as a
man handsome to see, as well as
; good.
A retrospective view carries us
!)aok to tlie ^ r »t of all Christmas.’
Tho most eloquent divines may
pour out their richest rhetoric;
though the artists may paint
their grandest, inspirations, yet
none are able to show us the true
picture of our blessed Savior.
Jesus was not sent into the world
alone, but like all ether children,
he hud the watchful care of ten
der parents, and he clung to kis
home until the time came for him
to start on the mission of saving
souls. Reader, as you are on
your mission of 1900, make some
s<ui! rejoied; makefile world bet
ter for you having lived in it. You
cannot now comprehend the joy it
will afford by giving your
Heavenly father a New Year’s gift
of yourself, but when this is done
a new born soul will have sprung
into the kingdom, and all thejoys
of Heaven w ill go out to meet it.
Don’t let this year pass without
leaving vour family and your
friends nearer Christ, by vou hav
ing associated with them. "is The
sume love is in you that in
Christ, but you will not let Him
develop it. lhen let us strive,
learning at home, lessons that
will be safe for us to carry into

Manager Martin, of the Pierson
drug store, informs us that he is
having a great run on Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy. He sells five bot

up the sore throat and lungs and
give relief within a very short time.

The woman who is lovely in

have friends, but one who would

If she is weak, sickly and all run
