THE CONTEST LAST SATURDAY.
Mr. Burrows of Unadilla and Miss
Hatcher of Arabi Were Successful.
Last Saturday was Dooly coun
ty’s Teacher’s Institute day and a
rousing meeting was held in Cor
dele. Practically all the teachers
in the county were present and a
large number of children, parents
and friends were present. It was
understood that the oratorical and
elocution contest would take place
and this fact attracted more than
the usal number of visitors. Pre
cisely at 10 o’clock the teachers
and visitors assembled at the pub
lic school building. Rev. E, H.
McGehee offered a fervent prayer,
after which Dr. H. B Roberts
President of the Cordele school
board, delivered the address of wel
come . There was quite a number
of entries in the contests and all
the boys and gills who entered did
exceedingly well. It was hard for
the judges to make a de
cision. but after consideration it
was unanimously agreed that Mr.
James Burrows of Unadilla had
• won out in the contest in oratory,
and that Miss Gussie Hatcher, of
Arabi, was the successful contest
ant in elocution. They were con
sequently awarded the medals
offered by Col. J. T. Hill, of Cor
dele, and their expenses will be
paid to the Albany Chautauqua
where they will enter the contests
for tha Walters medal in oratory
and the Laura Clementine Davis
medal in elocution ; it is conce
ded that they will stand an excel
lent chance to win there, also.
After the exercises wore over at
the school building the teachers
were entertained at dinner at the
Suwanee Hotel. All in all every
body had a delightful time and
went away perfectly satisfied, ex
cept, perhaps, those boys and girls
who did not win out in the con
tests; but even they have the con
solation of knowing that perhaps
their parents and sweethearts
thought they ought to have had
the prize.
The largest delegation came up
from the Houston High School,
at Arabi, there being about sixty
in the delegation from there. This
delegation honored The Sentinel
with a special visit in a body and
were shown all about how to run a
successful newspaper, and how to
turn out neat job work. They were
highly pleased with the Sentinel
office, and The Sentinel was de
lighted with their visit.
The Teachers Institute of Dooly
county is one of the best organiza
tions in the state, and Cordele is
always delighted to entertain the
excellent teachers that compose its
membership.
special attention is called to the
fact that at Vienna, on April 18th,
at 10 o’clock there will be a con
test in instrumental music, to be
held under the same conditions as
the above contests. Mr. R. L.
Wilson, President of the Peoples
Bank of Cordele, has offered a gold
medal to the successful contestant,
the expenses to the successful one
will be paid to the Albany Chau
tauqua where she will contest for
the medal there in instrumental
music.

Caught a Dreadfull Cold.
Marion Kooke, manager for T.
M. Thompson, a large importer for
fine millinery at 1658 Milwaukee
Avenue, Chicago, says: “During
the late severe spell of weather I
caught a dreadful cold which kept
me awake at night and made me un
fit to attend my work during the day.
One of my milliners was taking
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy for a
severe cold at that time, which
seemed to relieve her so quickly acted that
I bought some for myself. It
like magic and I began to improve
at once. I am now entirely well
and feel very much pleased to ac
knowledge its merits.” For sale by

Trustees Elected.
The election for three trustees
for Cordele public schools was held
Wednesday at the council cham
ber and only a small vote was
polled.
The successful candidates are as
follows:
Dr. H. B. Roberts 59, R. C. Har
ris 65, W. C. Hamilton 50. The
other votes were as follows; Col.
Pearson Ellis 35, J. C. Tracy 15.
D J Williams 28. U. V. Whipple 1.
R. E. Harris 1.
There seemed to be no special
candidates, and no lectioneering
going on during the day.
Three good men have been elect
ed—men who are intelligent and
fully capable to discharge every
duty devolved upon them as school
trustees. Our schools have been a
decided success in the past, and the
Board was a harmonious one. We
believe that the new members will
prove worthy of the trust imposed
and ever have the greatest interest
in the welfare of Cordele public
schools.
We congratulate Cordele upon
the selection of her new trustees.

CORDELE, GA., Fill DAY, APRIL 5, 1 1901.
Cordele Loses—Valdosta Gaines.
The Hutchinson Lumber anti
Supply Co. of this city, have es
tablished a wholesale hardware and
lumber business at Valdosta, and
in a few days Mr. A. Kirkland, the
business manager of the branch
here, will leave for Valdosta, where
he will assume active management
of the wholesale business of the
firm at that point.
Not only will Cordele lose Mr.
Kirkland and his excellent family
but other highly esteemed citizens
by this change in business. Mr.
J.W.Byrdand family, R B.Solomon
and family and Mr. Godwin will
make VaMosta their future home,
the gentlemen being employed by
the firm. In this transactirn Cor
dele loses and Valdosta gains. Wo
regret, exceedingly, to part com
pany with such splendid citizens,
but can congratulate Valdosta on
her good fortune.
By the establishment of thii
wholesale business at Valdositt
does not mean that the business
of the firm here will be discontin
ued . A large stock will be kept
here but for the retail trade only.
Mr. O. J. Lloyd who has been the
popular and efficient secretary and
treasurer of the firm here for sev
eral years will be general manager
of the business here * Mr. Lloyd
is a most excellent young man and
a man of exceptional fine business
qualifications.
This firm has enjoyed an exten
sive trade ever since its establish
ment here, and it is quite likely
that they will establish another
wholesale busiaess here in the fu
ture.
A Testimonial from Old England. -
“I consider Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy the best in the world for
bronchitis," says Mr. William Savory

six years, being most of the time
confined to her bed. She is now
quite well.” Sold by J. B. Byals

there will be such speakers as Hon,
Alf Taylor, Hon. Joe Terrell, Ho

event. Much has been said about
this contest and great interest mani

This feature promises to be one of
the greatest drawing cards of the

DR. WOOTEN TAPS A NEGRO.
Last Monday afternoon while
Dr. L. O. Wooten was settling an
account with a negro in a store at
Unadilla, John Felder, another ne
gro, li' gan to talk to the doctor in
a wav that was not altogether
pleasing or in order, and the doc
tor so informed him, ordeiing the
negro to leave, as he didn’t want
any trouble with him, but Felder
continued t<> talk and his remarks
became unbearable to the doctor
who drew his pistol and struck the
African on the cranium. By the
blow the pistol discharged, the
bullet stricking the ceiling, bounc
ing hack and falling behind the
counter in the store. This de
monstration upon the part of the
doctor caused the negro to make
a hasty retreat.
The negro has a bad reputation,
and his extermination would be
the proper thing.
Real Estate Looking Up.
A prominent real estate dealer
stated a few days ago that within
the past few months real estate
had shown a decided upward move
ment.
He says he has succeeded in
making several sales at prices much
higher than could have been se
cured a year ago, and that there is
considerable demand for real es
tate. He believes firmly that a
better day is yet to come.
Only a short time ago lots quite
a distance out from the centre of
this city were sold at a handsome
price at public outcry.
Any one who is at all familiar
with Cordele and its bright future
knows that it will only be a matter
af'tiroe when real estate here will
double in price.
League Organized.
Quite a goodly number of young
people met at the Methodist
church this week and re-organized
the Epworth League. The young
people have took hold with renew
ed energy and zeal and judging
from the splendid start they have
made and the splendid list of
officers, it will continue to grow
both in interest and number.
The League will hold their meet
ing every Sabbath evening from 7
to 7:45 o’clock, adjourning in
plenty time for the regular preach
ing services.
The following officers have been
chosen: B. H. Palmer, president;
Mrs. J. B. Spencer, first vice
president; Miss Lizzie Fussell,
second vice president; Miss Bessie
Walters, third vice president;
Mrs. A. M- Stead secretary and
tersurer.
We wish the young people much
success in their League. It is a
good work.
