Col. Edward Brobson and Albert Fendig, of Brunswick, ar
rived in Cordele last Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock in the in
terest of the Brunswick and Birmingham railroad.
had no intimation of their coming until about two hours before
their arrival, when a telegram was received announcing the
that they were iftiroute to Cordele, A meeting was called
8:30 o’clock at the opera house, which was attended by all
leading citizens of the community. The promoters were guar
anteed a right of way through the city and county, besides
pot facilities.
Mr. Brobson stated that President Machen would like for the
people along the route to subscribe to ten per cent of the bonds,
the road’s bonded indebtedness being only fifteen thousand, dol
lars per mile. No money is asked for until the road actually
reaches Cordele. With the people along the line slightly inter
ested by owning ten per cent of the bonds, it is thought
the road and the people will be more friendly to each other.
A committee was appointed to see what could be done in Cor
dele towards $25,000 subscriptions to the bonds, and it is thought
from to $50,000 will be taken here-. Our people are
wide awake and will leave no stone unturned to secure the
Brunswick and Birmingham.

Card from Prof. FJemin*.
Editors Sentinel—The boys and
school library. They also wish it.
Admitting that the companionship
of the noblest and best men and wo
women who have ever live<i (
possible only through the medium of
the books they wrote—is desirable,
it must also be admitted that th<*
boys and girls have the best of the
argument and should have what the'
want and wish. They have, b'
their personal efforts, raised asm
of money sufficient to purchase a
small number of excellent books to
constitute the nucleus of the library,
thus giving practical demonstration
of their sincerity of purpose. They
have also adopted a plan—not origi
nal, but as good as if it were--where
by this number should, within short
time be largely increased with abso
lutely no cost to any one.
The plan is simply this . Any per
son, who will, may deposit at least
one approved book in the school li
brary and have the use of the entire
collection of books; subject, of
course, to the rules of the library.
There are, in many of oar homes,
beoks ‘preserving as if by magio"
some of the best thought of all the
centuries, which books, having once
been read, now lie useless and really
esteemed of little or no value. The
plan contemplates the use of these
books for missions of increased and
increasing helpfulness. If offered
as a gift to the library, they would
be gratefully received as such ; oth
erwise they would be regarded as a
loan, “payable upon demand to the
owner.
I am glad to be able to say that,
under the plan, more t ®n y
lect volumes have already been se
cured and that the success of the en
terprise is beyond question. The
loan or gift of only one book, ap
proved by the examining committeej
will, at least, be the open season to
these already collected. These are
more than the average reader can
carefully read within a year, and
are as good as could be found in a
Carnegie library costing a million
dollars. “The course of time” is the
same here as elsewwere, and the
costly equipments of a magnificent
library would not greatly fertilize the
of its reader.
A book case with strong fastenings
has been provided which will proba
bly bold two hundred volumes. The
books will be in charge of a librarian
and rules will be adopted whereby,
so far as practicable, no book will be
lost or destroyed.
I hope the plan and enterprise will
commend itself by reason of the pos
sible benefits derivable therefrom.
The reading of books will not pay
grocery bills, it is true, but has some
times paid wonderful dividends in
the fixing of principles of character
in the fashioning of ideas, and in sin
ew of manhood and womanhood. It
is said that nine-tenths of all infor
mation is derived from reading- It
may not be possible to make such an
estimate numerically, but there are
many who would almost lift their
hats in the presence of good books
that have proven faithful friends—
free from the spirit of calummy, full
of the spirit of helpfulness and love—
whose counsels have never failed.
Every school should have a library.
They are tools with which teachers
and pupils have much to do. And
while text books are indispensible,
despite Atlanta clergyman who says
they are not, others are mighty help
ers towards best results. A carpen
ter would scarcely undertake to
build a house without an augur, a
mallet and a cross-cut saw. They
are good tools, but they would be a
little unhandy in doing some finish
ing work.
A complete list of the bobks that
may be secured for the school library
will, with your permission, be pub
lished later, with due credit to those
who help the enterprise.

Water-works In Order.
We are glad to state that the cit\

for one man to operate both the
