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.

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.
