The <>. S. At F. Railway Offer Good
Inducements.
We are glad to see that the Ueor.
gia Southern – Florida Railway
is offering to do a good pavt by
cheap freight, rates to the farmers
along its line of road who will eti
ter into the poultry business.
It is an undisputed tact that
there is money in the poultry in
dustry, and it should be encour
aged among our farmers as much
as possible.
One of the inducements offered
by the above road is a through
car service that will heso arranged
as to allow people 10 ship small
quantities of eggs and chickens to
the northern markets at carload
rates, thus enabling them to com
pete with those sections of the
country which make a business of
shipping such articles of commerce.
For instance, a car will be start
ed, say from Valdosta, northward,
and at each station where there
are chickens or eggs the car will
stop and take on what is to be
shipped, and by the time it reaches
Macon it will in all probability be
loaded and ready to rush through
to tho large cities of the north and
east, where such things always find
a ready market. Besides this, the
local trains will handle the poul
try and eggs for the local markets
at rates calculated to encourage
the industry.
It is a fact that chickens and
eggs can be produced on farms at
considerable profit, and a great
hinderance in the past has been
the heavy freight rates on small
shipments. With such enormous
rates of freight to pay, the people
•could not clear any money on such
produce, and the industry has not
been encouraged, but rather dis
couraged. As a result of these
conditions the major portion of
chickens and eggs used in this sec
tion of the state have been shipped
here from Tennessee.
Poultry raisers in Tennessee have
had a picnic out of Georgia for
several years, and our people have
suffered as a consequence—losing
all profits that might accrue from
such business.
A
Now the farmers have extended
to them the splendid rates and ac
commodations it is to be hoped
that they will grasp the opportu
nity and make the best possible
use of it.
Through this inducement they
should not only supply the local
consumption, but teach our Ten
nessee neighbors a lesson or two.
The railroad authorities will
give all the desired information as
regards their special inducement
along this line.
lTRTiwood School.
One of the most successful schools
that was ever taught in our town
came to a close by giving two very
creditable entertainments Thurs
day and Friday nights of last week.
The principal of the school is
Prof. T. A. Murry, of East Point,
who had charge of the school at
that place prior to the term just
■closed here. He was ably assisted
by Miss Florence Hayden, of West
End, Atlanta. Each night the
house was filled to its dooi*s by
patrons and friends of the school
to witness the exercises.
There were several excellent
pieces rendered, among them of
which special mention might be
made was “the little shaking Qua
kers.” Numerous petitions were
sent in for it to be repeated, and
was put on again • Friday night,
much to the delight of all.
Friday night a fine program had
been arranged, and the fan drill
Was just splendid.
Every one enjoyed the exercises,
and the patrons of the school are
highly pleased with Prof. Murray
and Miss Hayden, and we hope
their services may be secured an
other year.
" WHY OBJECT To THE STAGE.”
An Inu'restinjf Article l».v Miss Lucy
Hear*), <>r Y’lonna.
We give below an article under
the above caption written by Miss
Lucy Heard, of Vieuiiu, in t he
May and Ju .e number of the
■’Salmagundi,” a magazine pub
lished by the senior class of the
Southern Female College at La
Grange. It is a splendid article
and is quite interesting:
1 i It is admitted by everybody
that the stage is a power, It has
a wonderful effect upon those who
attend the theatre. Sublime and
pure life may be illustrated and
the hearts of hearers be moved to
a noble endeavor. The pulpit, the
press and the play-house are the
most potent, factors in the forma
tion of character in the young and
in the direction of conduct in the
old. Such an agency should be
appropriated and utilized by the
kingdom of truth and beauty. The
best men and women in the land
should go on the stage. Indeed,
when we consider how tire theatre
has been extended, beginning
with the pulpit, and then to the
lecture platform, then to the op
era, then to the spectacular—we
see that these are but sections of
the same long platform, each
shading into that which is next.
Had good men and good women
been always scattered all along the
stage, it had not, in any section,
fallen into disrepute.
“Good men and women are
found in the pulpit, on the lecture
platform, the in the opera, and not a
few in spectacular also. Whose
life was more beautiful than the
life of Jenny Lind ? Where more
devotedness than in E.nma Abbott,
and where more consecration than
in Madam'Patti ?
“It is true bad men and bad wo
men are to be found on the stage.
And tney may be found on the lec
ture platform and in the pulpit.
Because Judas was found among
the apostles, shall we condemn
the whole college of bishops ?
Because some clerks are guilty of
embezzlement, shall we forbid all
young men from entering the
counting room ? Because some
bankers practice a fraud, shall no
good man ever again enter the
banking business ? Because some
merchants are dishonest, shall all
honest men be debarred the mer
cantile pursuit ? And if some bad
persons go on the stage, shall all
true and good women to whom God
has imparted the gift of song and
elocution be denied the privilege ?
• , If all public singing and dec
lamation tends towards the stage,
why not abolish all the exhibi
tions at village and country school
and all the recitations of the little
ones before company at home ?
Why not silence the church choir?
Why not put a quietus on the
pulpit ? tendency fear
“The dangerous so
fully outlined is not strong nor
wide-spread—while the good com
mencement does is great and
beneficial. On with the commence
ment and let. the stage be lifted
up and the opera made a power
for truth and love.”

tion to the marriage of Miss Min

W. 8. Whedom, chashier of the
First National Bank of Winterset, la.,
in a recent letter gives some experi
ence with a carpenter in his employ,
that will be of value to other me
chanics. He says: I had a carpen
ter working for me who was obliged
to stop work for several days on ac
count of being troubled with diar
rhoea. I mentioned to him that I
had been similarly troubled and that
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Di
arrhoea Remedy had cured me. He
gisUhere bought a bottle of it from the drug—
and informed me that one
dose cured him, and he is at work
again.” For sale by J. B. Ityals – Co.

Prepared to Embalm.
Mr. George L. Dekle spent last
week in Macon attending a course
of lectures given in that city on
embalming.
He went before the state exam
ining board and received a diplo
ma from the board to conduct an
embalming business in Cordele.
Mr. Dekle stood a splendid ex
amination and thoroughly under
stands his business. He has or
dered the necessary instruments
for such work, as well as the
fluids, etc. It will cost him very
near one hundred dollars to fit
himself up for the business, but
he intends to have everything nec
essary for such work in a few days.
There is now in existence a state
law governing the shipping of
dead bodies that are not embalm
ed, and we believe that the time
will come when a law will be pass
ed requiring the embalming of ev
ery person that dies, whether from
contagious disease or not.
Chief of Police.
At a recent meeting of the city
council Mr. II. W. Cain was elect
ed chief of police for Cordele for
the preseat year.
Mr. Cain will, so soon as the
necessary arrangements can be
made, enter actively upon his du
ties as chief. He is a fearless man
in the discharge of his sworn duty,
and wo expect to see the law
obeyed to the letter and all viola
tors of the same brought to justice
under his administration.

If a Woman
wants to put out a fire she doesn’t
heap on oil and wood. She throws
on water,knowing that waterquenches
fire. When a woman wants to get
well from diseases peculiar to her sex,
she should not add fuel to the fire
already burning her life away. She
should not take worthless drugs and
potions composed of harmful narcot

the disease—they do not cure it—they
simply add fuel to the fire.
