and Around Vienna.
In Vienna this week we found
our farmer friend, Mr. O.B. Perry,
brother to Mr. Julian E. Perry of
this city, and who lives three or
four miles east of Vienna, busy
talking the Farmers’ and Mer
chants’ Carnival of Dooly county
to be held in Cordele Oct. 10-12.
He will not only take part in the
parade with one of the most
unique attractions to be seen,
but he is as enthusiastic talker
for the Carnival as any one we
have heard.
We heard Mr. P. G. McDon
ald say to Mr. Perry that his firm
would join him and enter the pa
rade with a nice display. insurance
A very prominent farmer and two
agent, another
or three other mercantile estab
lishments talked as if they may will
join in, and no doubt others
do so that we did not hear discuss
the Carnival.
These good people seemed
pleased that it was to be the
farmers’ and merchants’ carni
val OF DOOLY COUNTY, and UOt
wholly a Cordele affair, and that
they owed their part to the suc
cess of the occasion as did the peo
ple of Cordele. brick stores
The several new on
the Jake Roberts corner adds
much to the business appearance Dooly

ANOTHER LETTER.
Mr. Harris Writes of the Passion
Play.—A Trip to Interlaken, Etc.
Below we pesent to our readers
two letters written by Mr. R- C.
Harris to his wife, who kindly
consented to let us publish them.
It will no doubt be of interest to
the many friends of Mr. Harris
and Dr. Wallace to know o>f their
trip. We also learn by the fol
lowing letters that they sail for
home on the 14th of September.
Oberammergau, Sept, 2,1900.
We arrived here last evening at
5:45 after a nice trip from Mu
nich, through the Bovarian Alps. of
The scenery was grand; some
the mountains so high the sum
mits were enclosed by clouds. We
saw the Passion Play today; had
splendid seats and it w r as im
mense ; every seat was taken and
about 4,000 people adjoining had to return
to Munich and towns,
not being able to get hotel
modations here. The play will be
put on again tomorrow for benefit
of those who could not see it yes
terday. The play represents the
period of time from the entry of
Jesus into Jerusalem to His ascen
sion. I. have an English transla
tion of the play from beginning
to end, with all the tableaux of
prototypes, and kept right .along
with the play throughout by
reading the dialogues, the lan
guage used being German. with

ed to the crosses a* shown. The
scene between the meeting of
Mary the mother of Jesus and
Jesus was very affecting, as was
also the parts of Bllary Magdalene
and Martha, and qjuite a number
of other characters. In fact the
show was grand' from its till begin
ning, at 8 o’clock a. m. its
close at 5:80 p. m., with 1:80 for
intermission flair dinner. There
was quite a fine ©cchestra, also a
finechorus of tMrty-five voices—
twenty ladies and fifteen men,
who sang before and during each
panorama. I would not have
missed this play for $50, more
than it cost, as it was just grand..
We will leave here in the mornr
ihg for Munich, and nothing pro
venting will reach Lucerne, Switz
erland, tomorrow night, and taking next
day will go to Interlaken,
part of the trip over the lake of
Lucerne . We will have to hustle
a little to get to Naples in time to
take in what we want to see in
that vicinity ... , time , to , catch , , out

will, I guess, get along altright,.
Interlaken, Switzerland,
Sept. 4, 1900.
I wrote you a postal card today
from Bruning. We arrived here
this afternoon at 8:80, and you
can see from the picture above
that we are in a very picturesque
country. You note the white
mountain; this is Jungfrau. To
look at it, it appears to be not
more than half a mile off, and
looks as though it is not any
higher than the others in the pic
ture, but I am told that it is fully
25 miles away and stays, covered
withi s»ow the entire year, as
shewn in the picture. We saw a
clear sun set this eveoing, and
when it was nearly dark, in Inter
laken the sun was still shining on
top*of this mountain;- the sight
was grand. I am told this moun
tain is over 18,000 feeta high.
Omr trip today from Lucerne
was along a valley with, mountains
from 2,000 to 7,000 faet on either
side, till we reached. Lungern, a
small station, where we stopped
80 minutes for luncheon, and
the train was cut in three sections,
of three cars each and pulled ups
a very steep inclined - road over the
mountain to Meringen, this pant
of the road being known as the
Binning Pass, a distance of about
ten miles. Interlaken is m a
valley with side. very high mountains
