A Sentinel reporter, in conversation with Dr. W. E. Beacham,
of this place, was informed by him that he would put up a cotton

Beacham says the mill is a certainty, and that while no
ery or buildings have becu purchased as yet, be is negotiating for
same, and will be ready to begin work on the date mentioned. This
factory will employ about fifty men, and its pay roll will ameunt to
quite a neat little sum every month. The doctor has recently become

Mrs. Lawson, of Perry, is visiting

this city.
Some of the citizens are better
acquainted with the schedule of

We notice by the Albany Her

city, was in att'endanc# at the
Chautauqua.
• Clever Jim Francis says he went
to Albany Tuesday and heard the

and saw lots o’ soldiers.
The Albany chautauqua has
been the greatest success this week

things by halves. The chautauque
was a gem.
Prof. C. M. Hall, of Penia,
paid us a pleasant call last Friday.
Charlie has a splendid school at

The odor that arises from some
sections of our city is almost un
bearable. Itiis to be hoped that
every citizen will co-operate with
the authorities in cleaning up our
town, and preventing sickness.
The northernjand’western sections
of our city present a factory-like
appearance now,but wait until you
see the black smoke curling from
the several new enterprises we
have mentioned recently, and
then it will be a sight.
Mr. Jno- H. Hayes and Misa
Gordie Lambeth, of Central Point,

Some of our young men went to
Albany Sunday and were so
thoroughly charmed by the fair
sex of that pretty little city, until
they failed to make connection
with the A. and N. road Sunday
and were compelled, to remain
over another day.
Committees were appointed
Sunday by the different Sunday
Schools of the city to select a
place and date for a Sunday
School picnic. A place and date
will soon be decided on, and all
arrangements made, The chil

are looking forward to the event
with much pleasure.

THE SITUATION GLWMT.
Mr. Lewis’ Friends are Growing
Very Aaitoue About Dooly.

•OfffforMr*.
Tho Congressional race in Dooly Is
growing interesting and amusing, and
the friends of Mr. Lewis are growing
gloomy. His friends are no longer
trying to laugh Judge Fortontof the
race, nor are they waiting to be 4 'au
thoritatively advised of opposition”
to their candidate.
Ever since Judge Fort's speeches
in this oounty last week, his increased
strength has been showing up, and
the fact that his former supporters
or#, almost to a man, for him now,
and the further fact that quit# a num
ber of former Lewis supporters are
now {outspoken for Fort, has opened
the eyes of the friends of Mr. Lewis,
who show surprise over the situation
and anxiety for their candidate in
this ooanty. The friends of Judge
Fort are really amused at the about
fooe of those fellows who have actu
found out that Fort is running.
Tha advent of Mr. John Lewis, of
Yaidosta, into Dooly county and his
stay of two or three days in Cordele
in the interest of his brother hoe
proved amusing, especially in view
of the foot that his brother, the
congressman, has not been “authori
tatively advised of opposition. ” One
Fort supporter said that Mr. John
Lewi* pays Dooly a visit every four
years, provided it is necessary for
him to come and deliver the oountr
to his brother for congress.
At any rate there is not only a
great change from Lewie to Fort, hut
a change of some of his most ardent
supporters. There hoe been hard
work and repeated pulls during the
last few daya to draw some of his
former support back, but, to a man,
without avail. Some say .that “Lew
is didn’t want the offlse but foot
years,” others that * ‘Lewie hes made
no record for “my distriot”and 'may
people.” And still others say they
see the error of their way and most
vote for Lewis this time.
One Lewis man in Cordele haa
written Mr. Lewis that he had better
come home and look after his inter
ests, as the situation is gloomy. So
One need not be surprised to see Mr.
Lewis desert from “at his post” and
come home to Dooly.
But it doesn’t seem to matter
whether he comes or Btays, there is
evidently an unpurchasable predom
inent element in Dooly who are de
termined to leave Mr. Lewis at home
for a while and give Allen Fort, of
Sumter, a chance to serve the people
of the Third district in the next
congress.

Mr. Mason Doughtery and
Carolyns Peacock Married at
Unadilla.
One of tha prettiest
ever witnessed in Unadilla was
that of Mr, Mason Dougkiery, of
Cordele, and Miss Carolyns Pea
cock, of Emerich.
Cards had been sent oat previ
ously announcing the happy event,
and the many invited friends were
looking forward with pleasure to
the marriage.
The First Baptist church of Una
dilla had bean beautifully decora
ted for the occasion with palms,
cedar and evergreens. Just behind
and on the roetrnm whore the or
gan stood, vines had been very
artistically arranged. In front of
the organ several beautiful pot
plants were very eonepicuous.
About three feet in front of this
pretty background was an arch,
whore the bride and groom stood
duriug the ceremony.
When the sweet strains of Men
dhlesson’s wedding maroh, under
the skillful touoh of Mrs. C. A.
Horn*, began to peal forth, and
the attendants began to march in
it wna n lovely sight. The march
was led by the usbars, Messrs. R.
R. Harris and G. A. Bailenger, of

in this order: Mr. Odel

opposite room, leaningou the arm,
of the maid of honor, her aieter,
Mies Minnie Peacock, of Emerich,
marched underneath the arch,
where they Were met by the officiat
ing minister, Rev. J. C. Brewton,
of Cordele, who united the young
couple in marriage promptly at 9
o’clock in one of the most impres
sive and sweetest ceremonies we
have ever heard.
Immediately after the ceremony
the bridal party were driven in
to the Hotel Pierce,
their many friends and rela
tives showered hearty congratula
tions and best wishes upon them.
The bride was attired in a beau
tiful white organdie with elaborate
trimmings of satin and mouseline harmoniz
de soi with bridal veil,
ing in full with the freshness and
beauty of her |youthful face. She
carried a beautiful boquet of bri
dal roses.
The lady attendants were attired
in white organdie and carried bo
quets of America, Beauty roses.
It was indeed a pretty wedding.
Mr. and Mrs. Doughtery left, on
midnight train for Jacksonville,
Fla., and other points, returning
home Sunday. daughter
The bride is the lovely
of Mr. and Mrs. D. L. F. Peacock,
of Emerich, She is accomplished
and pretty, and by her sweetness
of disposition has drawn about her
a host of friends who appreciate
the many splendid womanly qual
ities which distinguishes her.
The groom is one of Cordele’s
most prominent young business
men, and is held in esteem by ev
ery one. He has considerable
farming interests near this city,
besides other business interests.
The wedding presents handsome were and nu
merous, and many
costly ones. We hope for the hap
py couple a prosperous and happy
life.
CENTRAL POINT.
And still they marry. St. Paul
says that it is honorable, and he
could have safely said that it is
the happiest of lives—if the wills
of the contracting parties are con
genial. But when the man has a
will and the woman has a won’t,
the scene is transformed in ro woes
of the deepest sorrow. When we
investigate, we find that it is usu
ally the little things that spoil
marital happiness. ItiBthe small
happenings that finally sever

ately bound two hearts that seem
ingly beat as that one. is being said

Thera are but few women whose
souls are so small that they do not
appreciate ia some degree, at least,
the whole heart of the man to
whom they become linked for bet
ter. And if that man, who has
promised to love that woman de
votedly “so long as life shall lant”
would carry out that sacred vow,
there would be no need of any di
vorce laws.
There is a great deal Jsaid about
the wife who allows herself to go
untidy after marriage, but there
is nothing said about phe husband
neglecting his person and dress.
That woman, that neat and
scrupulously clean woman, has
•oma reason for not loving the
man whose habits are exactly the
opposite. Occasionally we notice
men who become very careless in
their dress after marriage, and
their excuse for this is that they
caanot afford nice clothes, as they
have the wife and children te
dress.

between a stylishly dressed wife
and a shabbily dressed husband.
Some bachelors are disposed to
think that men are by nature
more cleanly than women, and
that order and tidiness concern
them so much that it Is indeed:
necessary for them to remain sin
gle. But as I have seen co few
bachelors hemes and wardrobes
that would compare favorably
with those kept by maidens and
wives that I cannot find sufficient
evidence to substantiate this state
ment. Then I would advise all
bachelors, who have a home, to
follow the example that oar baoh
alor friend John Hayes set a few
days ago.
Yes, friend John hoe signed the

Miss Gordie Lambeth, the junior
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hobart
Lambeth, of Central Point, is a
young woman of many good qual

blood coursing through her veins,
she doubtless will make a life part
ner that her lucky husband will
fully appreciate. Mr. Hayes is a
man of {sterling and industrious; traits of charac- kind
ter ; sober
hearted and true, and we bespeak
for this couple a life of joy and
prosperity. May their joys be as
deep as the ocean, and their sor

PROHIBITION.
To The anti-Bar Room People of the
State:—
It Is not my purpose to make a prohi
bition argument in this short article.
If what is memorial comprehended presented In three items the
in the to
Democratic Executive committee,
involving as it does, the life, liberty
and happiness of the people, passed is not of
sufficient importance to be upon
by the people, then in God’s name we
would like to know if the argument is
not well-nigh exhausted?
We claim to be a government of the
people, for the people and by the peo
ple. Then why not let the people gov
ern?
Judge Freeman and myself went be
fore the committee; they received us
kindly. We stated that we were demo
crats of long standing and that we ap
peared there for the good of they the peo- “did
ple. The answer came that
not have jurisdiction in the matter.”
It was not unanimous by any means.
That settled the question as far as a
direct vote i« concerned.
What shall we now do?
We must get the matter before each
candidate for office-Senator or Repre
sentative. If we have nocandidates in
a county or Senatorial district who
represent our views, get them out at
once. Get out men who will “vote for
any bill presented by the Committee
on Temperance for the removal of the
bar rooms. Of cour-e for a democratic
primary we must get out democrats
of good standing. Do you ask “how
can this be done?” I make this sug
