A NEW ANx COMMODIOUS „„uu n wnma BUILD- uttitti
ING TO BE EBEOTED.
G. 8. * F. Ry., Hus llrawii the Plans
And Presented Them to the G.
A. Authorities.
A new union depot.
Will probably cost $5,000.
Plans drawn and submitted.
It all rests with the G. ifc A.
Railway authorities.
Are our fondest hopes to be re
alized?
Such are the expressions we’ve
heard for the past several days
from our citizens, and railroad
men.
These expressions caused a
Sentinel reporter to investigate
and find out as near as possible
the exact status of affairs.
In an interview with the civil
engineer Mr. J. J. Gaillard, of the
G. S. – F. railroad, he informed
us that his road had drawn up
plans a*nd specifications and that
they have been submitted to the
Georgia – Alabama authorities
for consideration and adoptiou
several weeks ago.
He did not know what the com
munication between the two roads
had been, but knew that the
matter now was entirely with the
G. – A. people . As to how soon
they would act in the matter he
had no idea. Mr. Gaillard said
that the building would likely be
two hundred and ten feet long
down each main line, It will
most likely be built of wood, and
only one story in heighth. He
said while it would cost his road
a good deal more than the G. –
A., yet they realized the necessity
of better accommodations than
were now afforded and were per
fectly willing to make the expend
iture. * *
We speak for Cordele and the
traveling public when we soy we
appreciate the efforts of the G. S.
– F. to give us the needed ac>
commodatious, and it is sincerely
hoped that the authorities of the
Georgia – Alabama will in turn
be considerate of our needs in
this line, and act favorably at
once upon the plans already sub
mitted.
It seems now that it all hinges
on th® decision of the G. – A.
people, and we think it would not
be improper or out of order for the
Board of Trade to appoint a com
mittee from its body as well as a
committee of citizens at large, to
urge the G. – A people to prompt
and favorable action in this all
important matter.
Break the ice gentlemen, aud
start out on your journey and ac
complish the end to which we all
are anxiously waiting.

A BRILLIANT AFFAIR.
Young Ladies Valentine Entertain
ment u« Suwannee Hotel.
One of the most brilliant affairs in
the social history of Cordele was the
Valentine party given by the young
ladies of the city at the Suwannee
Hotel Wednesday evening, For
several days previous, the entertain
ment was all the talk, and every
preparation was made by the young
ladies to make the occasion a suc
cess, One hundred and twenty
five invitations were issued
and the young ladies each ex
tended an invitation to some young
man to be her Valentine, so that no
young man lacked for an escort.
The Suwannee parlors and dining
hall were beautifully decorated with
heart leaves and evergreens.
A Valentine postoffice was a great
feature as well as the card parties,
carr®m, archerena, crokinole, and
other games. The ball was a great
feature, and many participated in
this popular pleasure. At a late
hour refreshments were served, after
which all departed, voting it
the most pleasant occasion of the
season.
Slicppard-Liasseter.
Promptly at 1 o’clock Wednesday
afternoon of this week, at the Las
seter home on 12th avenue, Mr. B.
F. Sheppard and Miss Mattie Lasse
ter were joined in the holy bonds of
matrimony, Rev. Frank Culpepper,
of Ashburn, performing the mar
riage ceremony. The home was ar
tistically and beautifully decorated
with violets, evergreens and palms.
The large reception hall was comfor
tably filled with relatives and select
friends, when the popular couple en
tered one door, while he who made
them man and wife, entered another
door.
The bride wore a handsome brown
silk gown trimmed with ecruren
aissance applique, and never looked
more beautiful; while the groom
never looked handsomer in his life.
The presents were numerous and
handsome, and we regret that space
will not allow us to enumerate them.
One of the most substantial presents
was a one hundred dollar check on
the Peoples’ Bank of Cordele, made
to Mrs. B. F. Sheppard and signed by
J. A. Lasseter – Co.
The bride is the sister of Mr. J. A.
Lasseter and Miss Julia Lasseter, and
she is known as one of the most
practical, and popular young ladies
in Cordele. The groom is the son
of Deputy Sheriff G. W. Sheppard,
and he is one of Cordele’s most prac
tical, popular and business young
men . Ho owns the grocery store of
B. F. Sheppard – Bro.
Showered with rice from the
hands ot friends, the happy
couple left on the 2 o’clock
south bound G. S. – F. train
for Jacksonville and other Florida zr
points, for a ten days’ tour, after
which they will be at home to friends
in their new home on 14th avenue.
