It is the occasional privileg of
The Sentinel to salute a new man
agement of our morning contem
porary as well as the new mana
gers privilege to write a salutatory
and we know of no more genial a
spirit to whom we would prefer fellow-1 to
extend the right hand of

than to “Editor Tannie McKen

Editor Tannie has a great ad
vantage in that he has lived in
Dooly all his life and knows every
blackberry patch in the county.
He also has an an advantage of
knowing all the pretty girls in this
section of the country, and we
predict that his local colums will
prove bright and spicy. By way
of a simple suggestion we know of
no better selection than “Robin
Red-breast for a sporting editor,
and by way of a simple prediction
that The Call will prove bright,
newsy and prosperous under the
above stated new management.

at the home of the latter last Sunday.
The remains were interred at Bethel
church Monday afternoon, Rev. J. C.
Brewton conducting the funeral
services. Mrs. Haynes was a good

moves her from this world of suffer

extending sympathy to the bereaved
relatives.
An Excellent Showing.
There is not a town the size and
age of Cordele that can show such an
increase in the amount of mail han
died as Cordele does. The amount
is now over eight thousand dollars
per annum Which assures that the of
fice will now be placed on a second
class basis, the postmasters salary
will be increased and his assistants
will be furnished him instead of his
having to furnish his own help. The
increased and increasing business of
Cordele can be shown in no better
way than in the increased amount of
mail bandied by our postoffice.
Postmaster Hall bandies the mail
with the greatest ease and makes us
a postmaster entirely satisfactory to
the whole people and equal to all
requirements of our growing post-of
fice .

Knickerbocker Trust Co., of New
The bonds are run for fifty
years' at five pe ir cent, interest, pay
aljje semi-annually in gold. The to
tal amount is six and three quarter
million dollars. These funds will be
sufficient to build and equip the road
all the way to Birmingham. Work

cisco lines with the Kansas City,
Memphis – Birmingham system, will
join in with the Brunswick – Bir
mingham company, affording the
shortest route from Kansas to the
Atlantic seaboard, with Brunswick

Shot Boy Getting Well.
Henry Anderson the 14 year old
boy that was shot by Roy Martin,
another fourteen year old, is on
the road to recovery under the
medical treatment of Dr. H. B.
Roberts. It will be remembered
that over in the third ward last
Sunday week, Roy Martin had an
old rusty pistol, and when his com
panion, Henry Anderson, came on
to him with a bluff, Roy deliber
ately pulled the trigger to his pis
tol, remarking at the time, “I
guess that will stop you.” The ball
hit Henry in the breast and rang
ed downward towards the region
of the stomache, inflicting a sup
posed fatal wound, He was
boundover under bond not know
ing whether the charge would be
“murder” or “assault with intent
to murder.” Now that the wounded
boy is about to recover, if tried at
all, it will be for the latter offense.
Both the boys are colored.

It is a Nuisance.
The ringing of the flrebell for
the purpose of collecting the fire
companies together for the simple
purpose of holding a meeting is a
nuisance, and the authorities
put a stop it, remarked a
citizen the other day.
“The very sound of the fire bell
causes a chilly sensation to
through me and I start to the
to see if some one’s house is
fire.”
But, said the reporter, these
of the fire bell for company
are of such slow taps that
would know there was no
“That does’t make any differ
> 1 replied the speaker, “for
I said the sound of the very
stroke of the fire bell, and es
at night, startles me, and
others as for that are just
I am, and I don’t see why,
anyway, it is any more necessary
for them than for other numerous
organizations, and for my part
and for the sake of many others
whom the fire bell always unnerves
when they hear it ring, I wish that
the fire boys would get some other
way of calling themselves together
or that council would pass an or
dinance prohibiting the ringing of
the fire bell except in case of fire.”
“I doubt if the gentlemen who
compose the membership of the
fire companies, or the council,
have thought of this matter in
this light and for that reason 1
wish you would call attention to
it in The Sentinel.”
TO DEATH WITH AN “8.”
Watt Little Took the Pistol Ball
Route t<> The Golden ('lime; and
Vanderbilt to The Wood*.
^ ienua, Ga., March 13, Special to
the Sentinel:
Watt Little and Vanderbilt Davis,
belli of prominence in the colored no
cial world, became involved in a “ru
kus” Sunday afternoon jn-t in front
of the white Methodist church, over
one fair Sallie of the African tribe,
which resulted in Watt Little taking
the pistol ball route to the golden
dime, and Vanderbilt to the woods
or to some other country heretofore
unknown to him.
Watt and Vandy were both suit
ors of the dusky “Sallie” Watt being
the most favored had announced the
happy day for their nuptials which
the was Sunday week from the day of
demise. Vandy, the vanquished
suitor, was inconsolable, threats and
counter threats flew thick and fast
until this world became too small for
both Watt chose the razor route so
it is said for Vandy to travel to an
unknown country, but Vandy de
creed that VVatt should travel the
“8” rdute, which route he took Sun
day the aboat 4 o’clock in the afternoon.
So farmers are short two good
hands and the world one.
Vandy ia in hiding and may never
return unless Uncle George Shep
pard fetches him hand-cuffed-wise.

Monday afternoon numbers of
little children were swarming the
streets of Cordele seeking a nick
i !e or a penny for Bro. Mumford’s
Georgia Industrial Homo and
nearly all of them made nice col
lections, consequently their little
hearts were made glad to know
that they had helped some to aid
Bro. Mumford to take care of his
eighty little children.
Mr. Dwight Gibbs and Miss Hat
tie Moore of Penia. were married
last Saturday by Judge J. B. Smith
of Cordele. Mr. Gibbs was grant
ed a divorce at this term of court
from his first wife ami was legally
married to the woman who has
been at his home the past ten or
twelve years,
Rev. W. E. Mumford delivered
a lecture at the The First Baptist
church in Cordele last Sunday after
noon at 3-30 o’clock on “Religious
Common Sense” to a large audience
considering the inclement weather.
Brother Mumford organized the
Georgia Industrial Home just two
years ago, and now has two hundred
acres of land, five houses and there
are 80 homeless children being cared
for in the Home, four of whom are
from Cordele. Cordele Bhonld con
tribute at least $250 to this Home
each year. Brother Mumford raised
about one hundred dollars before
leaving. He is always a welcome
visitor to Cordele and our people al
ways respond liberally to the cause
he represents.
A prisoner who was tried last
week in Dooly Superior court for
the crime of having a plurality of
wives, mustered up as a defense,
that he had received a letter sta
ting that his first wife was dead,
and although his first wife lived
only twenty-five miles away h^re
lied upon the letter without furth
er effort of investigation as to
whether she was dead. He began
his statement with “gentlemen of
the jury, I received a letter from
my first wife in which she stated
that she was] dead, and believing
it to be true I married the second
wife,” This awkward break was
immensely enjoyed by jurors and
spectators but the jurors not be
lieving in spiritualism gave Judge
Littlejohn the privilege of “penn
ing” the gentleman for three
years. The prisoner and his two
wives are prominently connected
in this and an adjoing county.

been subject to croup, and have so feared have
the attacks been that we
many times that he would die. We
have had the doctor and used many
medicines, but Chamberlain’s It Cough
Remedy is our sole reliance. seems
to dissolve the tough mucus and by
giving frequent doses when found thecroupy
symptons appear, we have that
the dreaded croup is cured before it
gets settled. ” There is no danger in
giving this remedy for it contains no
opium or other injurious drug and
may be given as confidently sale to J.B.Ryals a babe
as to an adult. For oy
