There is no better medicine for
the babies than Chainberfain’s Cough
Remedy. Its pleasant taste and

it a favorite with mothers and small
children. It quickly cures their
coughs and colds, preventing pneu

It also cues croup and has been used
in tens of thousands of cases with
out a single failure so far as we have
been able to learn. It not only cures
croup, but when given as soon as the
croup.y cough appears, will prevent
the attack. In cases of whooping
cough it liquefies the tough mucus, and
making it easier to expectorate of
lessens the severity and frequency thus
the paroxysms of coughing,
depiving that disease ot all danger
ous consequences. For sale bv J. B.

last Tuesday night, was instantly
killed. He had been in the em

months, and had never happened
to the slightest accident during
that time.
We did not get the particulars
in the case, but suppose it was
due to carelessness.
Cooper After ’Em.
Quite a small size sensation
was caused in Macon Friday after
noon when Sheriff Cooper of Hous
ton county arrived and arrested
several of the most prominent
young men for baiting bird fields
in Houston county. There was a
desperate effort to keep the matter
quiet, but some of the friends vvlio
had not been caught in such a di
lemma, thought it too good a
joke to keep. Sheriff Cooper said
he intended to make examples of
the most prominent violators of
the game law, so as to break it up.
Jlr. Brewton Has Resigned.
Rev. J. C. Brewton on Sunday
morning tendered his resignation
as pastor of the Baptist church of
this city, and on Monday accepted
a call to the pastorate of the Bap
tist church at Cordele. Mr. Brew
ton is an able minister and a
noble man of God, and it is, with
deep regret- that the people of
Eastman give him up.
He has labored long and earn
estly among our people, and has
been instrumental in doing much
good. The resignation is to take
effect March 1. We congratulate
Cordele upon securing his servi
ces.—Eastman Times-Journal.
Judge Ivey for Ordinary.
The Sentinel heard it rumored
that Judge D. L. Ivey, of Una
dilla, will probably enter the race
for ordinary. Judge Ivey has
long been identified with Dooly
county and her interests, and has
a host of friends in the county
who would be glad to see him en
ter the race.
He has for a number of years
been justice of the peace of the
Unadilla district, and a member
of the County Board of Education.
He has also served the county on
special committees and in other
various ways. If Mr. Ivey enters
the race it will make the cam
paign lively.
Dr. Beacham Considering.
The many friends of Dr. W.
E. Beacham, of Unadilla, are en
deavoring to persuade the doctor
to enter the race for representa
tive from the upper edge of the
county. Dr. Beacham entered
the race the last time, and polled
a big vote, and his friends believe
he would be a winner should he
enter this time. He will most
likely consider the matter and
announce his intentions very
soon.
With the present outlook it
seems there’l be a few candidates
from the upper edge of the county
for the several offices, and time
can only tell what the result
will be.
DEAN-LOTT.
Two Young South Georgians Hap
pily Married.
Abbeville, Ga., Feb. 18* —One
of the most charming events of
the season was the marriage last
evening at 6 o’clock, at the resi
dence of the bride’s mother,
Mrs. G. A. Dean, Miss Nellie
Dean to Mr. D. W. Lott, of Brox
ton, Ga. The ceremony was very
impressively performed by Rev.
W. W. Stewart, pastor of the
Methodist church. After the
happy couple were pronounced
man and wife, and congratula
tions of relatives and friends had
been extended, all were invited
to partake of a sumptuous repast,
after which the bride and groom
j left immediately on the shoo-tly
for their future home in Brox
ton, Ga.
Mr. Lott is one of the rising
young merchants of Broxton,
having a nice grocery business in
that thriving town. He is a
young man of fine business abili
ties, noted for his honor, integrity
and fine manly bearing. Miss
Nettie is a young lady loved for
many beautifu* fraits of charac
ter, amiable, refined and cultured,
fitted and worthy to be the Iffo
companion of a noble and true
man. Mr. and Mrs. Lott have
the best wishes of their many
friends for their happiness and
prosperity.—Telegraph.
DOOLiY POLITICS.
Things Arc Rapidly Assuming
Shape.—Canditates and Tlicir Friends
Are Consulting.
The Sentinel does not expect
to see things take any definite
Shape in Dooly’s politics until
after the session of the superior
court. There are plenty of pros
pective candidates now. and you
cau approach one on the subject
of his candidacy and lie will tell
you he is undecided, but will
know positively after court week.
They desire to wait and talk
with the people from different
sections of the county, ana see
what the outlook is. After that
week we expect to seo the woods
Bet on fire. Among the probable
candidates so far for representa
tive are, Cols. S. R. Fields, T. J.
Hill, W. A. Hawkins, Dr. W.
E. Beacham W. S. Thomp
son and Mr. D. W. Harvard.
All these gentlemen have been
considering the race for several
weeks. Col. Fields says he will
likely make the race. Col. Hill
says he is yet undecided, but will
make up his mind very soon, one
way or the other. Col. Hawkins
eays he is a probable candidate,
and is considering the matter.
Mr. Harvard and Dr. Beacham
we have not seen, but their
friends announce they will
most likely make the race from
t it* upper part of the county.
Col. Thompson is being urged
to make the race and he is con
sidering the matter. We clip fol
lowing, from a communication in
the Vienna Progress, relative to
Thompson’s candidacy.
“Col. Thompsou, has fine
legal attainments aud his leg
islative experience fully quali
fies him to rank high—either in
the House or Senate. Many years
ago his father was one of the
front leaders of Democracy in
Sampson county, N. C. His asso
ciates were Govs. Holmes, McCoy,
Boykin, Beaman, Royal, Huu
nicutt and Crumpler.”
Council Proceedings.
At a regular meeting of the
city council, February 17, 1900,
at 3 o’clock p. m, Mayor Cutts and
Aldermen Lockett, Weaver, Fain,
Jones and McElreath being pres
ent.
Minutes of former meeting were
read.
Motion to adopt the minutes as
read and corrected. Yeas—Fain,
McElreath and Jones. Nays—
Lockett and Weaver.
On a motion to adopt the fore
going resolution the vote stood:
Yeas—Lockett and Weaver. Nays
—Jones, Fain and McElreath.
The following resolution was
offered:
Resolved. That inasmuch as the
resolutions passed by this body
on February 9th, 1900, in regard
to the offices of clerk and treas
urer, and of city attorney and
city physician, which resolution
seek to declare the office of clerk
and treasurer vacant, and also to
abolish the offices of city attorney
and city physician, are illegal,
that the said resolutions be ex
punged from the minutes of this
council for the following reasons,
viz:
1. Because James M. Davis,
one of our citizens, has been duly
elected clerk and treasurer of this
city, and has faithfully given his
bond and commenced to act, and
is now acting in the capacity of
clerk and treasurer, and cannot
by resolution of this character be
excluded from the privileges of
this office; and that the offices of
city attorney anil city physician
have both been filled by the se
lection of competent, professional and
gentlemen to fill the same, does
that their term of office not
expire until the year 1900.
2. Because the three gentle
men selected to fill these offices
have entered on their turn
office and the citv would be fully
bound to pay their salaries, and
their tliat they cannot be deprived of
compensation for said offices
without their consent.
8. Because these three gentle
men have filled their offices ac
ceptable to the citv, and to seek
to ca-t stigma upon them by such
partizan resolution, manifest a
spirit of partisanship and rancor
uni econnng the dignity of the
city, and might tend to promote
useless and foolish litigation, and
cause strife and bitterness among
our citizens where there should re
main peace and tranquility, and
where no good could come of it.
4. Because the said resolutions
are illegal, in that the council
has no jurisdiction to declare said
offices vacant, or to abolish said
offices before the terms of present
holders expire, unless the present
incumbents consent, be first ob
tained.
5. Because when said resolu
tions were put on an appeal from
the mayor’s decision, there had
been no two-thirds vote in favor
of said appeal, there being only
three votes in favor of appealing,
and two against appealing.
