BASK BALL,
There will be a game of base

tween Co. the Ensign-Oskamp Lum

Lumber Co. at Worth. These two
mills (two of the largest in South
Georgia) have agreed to close
down their plants one of the
three days of our Carnival and
bring their base ball teams here,
giving the visitors to the city a
fine sample of base ball playing,
which will be exciting in the ex

GOLD FOUND IN DOOLY COUNTY
If Not, Judge J. R. Freeman of the
14th District is Hudi Histaken.
Judged. R. Freeman from the
14th District was in Cordele last
Monday and had with him a speci
men of “gold ore” which he had
found on his plantation. He had
applied several simple tests and
was more convinced after the ap
plications that he had an oro and
that the shining gold-looking par
ticles in it were pure gold.
The judge stated that he had
been offered $100 per acre for his
land, and was considering whether
or not to sell. Wo trust that
Judge Freeman is today a richer
man from the discovery lie has
made. On the other hand we
would regret to find that the dis
covery should prove to be “only a
dream.” Keep us posted, judge.
The Harris—Wallace Trip.
While Messrs. Harris and Wal
lace are having such a glorious
trip to the Paris Exposition and
other numerous points of interest,
they are not altogether forgetful
of friends at home. Many friends
of Dr. Wallace are in receipt of
souvenir carte postalo from Inter
taken, die Jungfrau, upon which
is a view of the city, the snow
capped mountain and a sun set
scene. He says: “Words are in
adequate to express the has grandeur
of the scenery. Our trip been
all one could ask.”
The senior editor of the Sentt
nel is in receipt, from Mr. Har
ris of a Cartolina Postale Italiana
from Salute da Roma, upon
which is a view of Piazza e Colonna
Antonina. He says: "Have < i
wanted to write the Sentinel but
have been on the go all the time,
Will tel! you when I see you. Have
had a big trip.”
good Through wife the kindness of your
the Sentinel has been
copying Harris, after you already, brother
and our imagipation sees
your eyes wide open looking at all
the sights, and your mouth still
chewing on “Bulloch’s tobacco”
you wrote about.
Our Beautiful Weeds.
We doubt if there is another
city our size in this state that can
boast of a better growth of weeds
—pretty weeds—with beautiful
little yellow buds that form a
most excellent contrast with the
green. We cannot but admire
them daily. The continuous dry
weather has somewhat retarded
their growth, which is to be re
gretted, they onlv being about
knee high.
We have often wondered why
they have not been cultivated so
as to make a good display during
quite our eoming Carnival, We feel
sure the visitors to the city
during our Carnival will view
them and comment upon their ex
cellent growth and the vast
amount we have. We would sug
gest that the marshall of the day
during the parade guard carefully
the procession of floats and see
that this splendid growth of
weeds, in which every citizen, of
Cordele feels interested, is not
damaged in anyway.

Death of D. R. McGehee.

reared in Walton and Jasper coun
ties, and moved to Dooly Novem
ber 29th, 1899. Dr. 0. C. Thom
son was his attending physician,
and did all that medical skill
could do, but to no avail. His re

conducted by Rev. Bailey.
“A precious one from us lias gone,
A voice we loved is still;
A place is vacant in their home,
Which never can be filled.
God in his wisdom hath recalled,
The boone His love hath given.
Though the body slumbers now,
His soul is safe in Heaven.”
