About fifty members of the
Georgia Saw Mill Association met
at the Suwanee House in this city
last Tuesday afternoon and trans
acted such business as came before
their body. The meeting was
called to order by the president,
Mr. H. H. Tift, of Tifton.
The popular and efficient secre
tary, Mr. F. E. Waymer, of Tif
ton was at his post ready to chron -
, in the meet
icle every transaction and
ing. Some of the wealthiest
most prominent lumber men in
the state, as well as Florida, were
present, and gave some timely
council to the association.
The meeting was an enthusias
tic one from beginning to end,
and great interest was manifested
by every one present. the association

agreed to continue to make one
third reduction of the output until
there is a change in tbe market.
The mills composing this associa
tion will only cut two-thirds of
their full capacity, until further
agreement. To this end the asso
ciation will send out three men to
canvass South Carolina, Georgia
and Florida in the interest of the
association, and secure the co-op
eration of all mill men possible in
their movement. The market at
present is very unsteady, and the
demand very feeble, consequently stim
the mill men believH that to

prices, a continued reduction in
their output is necessary. The

Improving.
Mr. W. H. Bussey, who days was
stricken with paralysis improved a few his
ago, is somewhat in
condition. The old gentleman is
very feeble, and his constitution
very frail, which made the suffer
ing all the more severe.
Everything will be done for him
that can be, and his hosts of
friends in this place wish him the
best in his affliction. It has not
been a great while since he re
covered from a very painful arm,
caused from vaccination.
Don’t Fall to Read It.
In looking over this issue of the
Sentinel don’t fail to read the
half page advertisement of the
Hutchinson Lumber and Supply
Company. If you are a farmer or
mill man you will be benefited
thereby.
They have bought the buggies, L. C.
wagons and harness of Mr.
Averett, and will continue to sell
them at the same stand. Mr. Har
ris will take great pleasure in
displaying the goods and giving
you their lowest prices. Don’t
fail to go*and see them when in
Cordele.
“Bill Arp.”
Charlie Smith, or “Bill Arp,”
lectured at the Opera House here
last Monday evening, his subject
being, “Behind tbe Scenes.” A
very small audience greeted the
speaker because of tbe fact that
his coming had not been properly
advertised.
But he held the closest atten
tion of those present and all en
joyed the rare treat. It is to be
hoped that he will again favor
our town with a visit, and that
the necessary publicity will be
given to it that he may have a
large audience.
Everybody who can read knows
something of this man, and his
work will live in after years as a
monument in the hearts of Geor
gians. He risted Alley after
leaving this point.
Peaohes for Candler.
The S. A. L. train from Fitz
gerald last Tuesday brought sev
eral crates of elegant peaches, ex
pressed to “Gov. Allen D. Cand
ler, Atlanta, shipped by J. G.
Knapp, Old Soldiers Colony,
Fitzgerald.” El
They looked to be of the
berta variety, and were very
large. The governor will no
deubt enjoy them to the fullest
extent.
Your humble scribe stood by
and wished he could take the gov
ernors place so long as the lus
cious fruit lasted, but this he
could not do.
J. D. Smith Prosecuted.
Quite an interesting case was
tried before Judge Henderson in
the county court at Vienna last
Tuesday. Smith
In November 1898 J. D.
hired a horse and buggy from Mr,
W. H. Trippe, the liveryman here,
and drove the animal so hard and
treated it so cruelly that it died.
Mr. Trippe but endeavored bring to secure
damages, could not Mr.
Smith to any settlement. Grow
ing tired of Smith’s conduct in the
matter, he, Trippe, prosecuted
Smith in the county court. It came
up for trial Tuesday, and Smith
was convicted, whereupon the
court imposed a fine of $150 and
all court costs, or twelve months
in the chaiugang.
Col. Shipp Elected.
The many friends in Cordele
of Col. Robt. L. Shipp, of Moul
trie, Colquit county, are pleased
to learn of the excellent race he
made in that county for the legis
lature. Iu the general primary
last week he lacked a few votes
of receiving as many as were cast
for his two opponents.
Col. Shipp moved from Cordele
to Moultrie about five years ago,
where he has since enjoyed an
tensive law practice, and bis
ularity is attested with his
by his having served his city
mayor for several terms, and
this excellent race for the legisla
ture. The Sentinel extends him
congratulations.
Guano Factory Moved.
The guano works of the Vir
ginia-Oarolina Chemical company
at this place has been moved to
Macon, Ga., and Charleston, S. C.
J. W. Dowman, who is the super
intendent of the works here, says
all the guano he has turned out
here has been sold every season,
and that he does not know why
the company is moving the plant
unless it is because they desire to
have fewer plants in operation. moved
The buildings will not be
and will be kept up. This might
lead to the conclusion that the
company will re-occupy the houses
at some future time.
This company is now operating
something like thirteen plants in
Georgia. Mr. Dowman said the
plant in Americus belonging to
ths same company, was also being
moved. The main offices of the
company are in Richmond, Va.
Mr. D. does not know exactly
what he will be called on to do,
whether remain here or go to some
other town.
We regret to see the plant
moved, but hope as the buildings
will remain intact that another
plant will be put up in operation
here at no distant day.
During last May an infant child of
our neighbor was suffering from
cholera infantum, The doctors had
giyen up all hopes of recovery. I
took a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy to
the house, telling them I thought
sure it would do it good if used ac
cording to directions. In two days
time the child had fully recovered,
and is now vigorous and healthy. I
have recommended this remedy fre
quently and have never known it
to fail.—Mrs. Curtis Baker, Book,
