MISINFORMED.
Conference Between Eason and
Thomas Was Not Held.
The Sentinel published an article
last week of a conference that was
reported to have been held by Hon.
Thomas Eason and Col. C. C . Thomas
m Macon, regarding the race of
prison commissioner in this state.We
are glad to correct this, as Mr. Easou
has denied same and says he has not
held any conference with Mr.
Thomas, nor does he intend to, re
garding the race for prison commis
sioner, but that he is strictly in the
race, and will remain.
Mr. Eason’s denial appeared in the

we could.
For School Commissioner.
Rev. J. M. Kelley, of Vienna,
is announced for the office of
county school commissioner. Mr.
Kelley is an experienced school
teacher, having taught 6ome
the best schools in the county,
and is a capable man. He would
make a good commissioner.
We do not know whether Mr.
Green, the present popular com
missioner, will offer for election
or not, but in all probability he
will.
This is one of the most import
ant offices to be filled this year in
the county, and our board of edu
cation should look well to the fit
ness and ability of any candidate,
and place therein a man capable
of attending to the many impor
tant duties of this office, well. Let
us have a competent commissioner
and then we will enjoy competent
service from competent teachers.
A Successful Firm.
The firm of Hind – Churchwell
of this city, have a page advertise

H. Churchwell, the popular manager
of this branch oj the firm, is offering
to the trading public some of the
best bargains ever offered in Cordele
before. It is to the interest of every
person to buy their goods where
they can get the cheapest bargains,
and if you will read their advertise
ment you will readily see that they
are the people to trade with.
This firm doubtless does the most
extensive retail business in Cordele,
and are the most liberal advertisers,

TO LEAVE CORDELE.
Mr. J. E. Howell Hells Hie Interest
in Hill Grocery Co.
Mr. John E. Howell, who has
for a long time been a partner in
the firm of S. J. Hill – Co.,
wholesale grocers of this city, has
sold his interest to Mr. S. J. Hill,
and will move to Moultrie, at
which place he will engage in the
lumber business.
Mr. Howell has only been a res
ident of Cordele for two years,
hut during nis sojourn here he has
greatly endeared himself to our
people. He has beeu an active
citizen in eyery matter pertain
ing to president the interest of the city.
He is of our Board of
Trade, was elected president of
our carnival and was also the ex
ecutive head of the Chautauqua.
He was, until he resigned, an ac
tive and influential member »f
the board of trustses'. He ie also
the much loved superintendent of
the Sunday School of the Baptist
church. He has been a useful
and prominent citizen since his
residence here, and Cordele will
lose a great deal by his leaving.
Mr. Howell will buy and sell
lumber, making Moultrie his
headquarters. The lumber busi
ness at present is very immense,
and the prices are continually ad
vancing. This is why Mr, How
ell makes the move. While his
wholesale grocery business was
thriving, yet lie considers that it
will be more profitable for him to
engage in the lumber business.
Mr. C. A. Mims will have
charge of the Hill Grocery busi
ness from this on.
We regret to give Mr. Howell
and his estimable family up, but
wish them all the happiness and
prosperity in their new home. It
will be Moultrie’s gain and Cor
dele’s loss.

REV. W. E. MUMFORI).
Filled the Baptist Pulpit Sunday
Morning and Evaning
Rev. W. E. Mumford. president,
and founder of the Georgia Indus
trial Home in Macon, preached
two excellent sermons at the Bap
tist church in this city Sunday
last. Mr. Mumford, until two
years ago, was agent for the Or
phans Home in Macon, a home
under the immediate control of
the Methodist conferonco. For
several years he was engaged in
this good work, and was very suc
cessful. He felt the necessity of
establishing an Industrial Home
for the white children of the state
of pauper and disreputable par
entage. He resigned his position
in the Orphans Home and imme
diately set about for the establish
ment of the home above referred to.
Taking the matter into his own
unassisted, he conferred
with some of the great sympathiz
ers of this class of humanity, and
he received encouragement at
their hands, as well as financial
help. A canvass subscriptions was at once be
gu a , and came in
rapidly from all sections of the
state. Mr. Mumford immediately
selected a board of corporators
for the institution, and a charter
was granted. Two hundred acres
of land was purchased, houses
built, and they now have sixty
children in the Home. It is not
an orphans home, but one for the
children of the destitute class. It
is undenominational, and its doors
are open to both sexes.
Mr. Mumford received by con
tributions and otherwise about
$150 on his visit here this time.
He has four Cordele boys in his
home, who he reports as doing
well in every respect.
This is a great and glorious
work and should be given the
hearty support of every citizen of
the state. This great and good
man’s heart is fixed in the work
of the salvation of the helpless
and friendless boys and girls of
this state.
The Outlanders in the Transvaal
are claiming exactly what wo fought
for in 1776-no taxation without re
presentation, and the Government
of England is waging its war against
the Boers to give them the independ
ence that we fought for.
Senator Pritchard, of North Caro
lina, would like to run tor vice pres
ident on the next Republican ticket,
it would afford Southern Democrats
an especial pleasure to vote against
him.
