BONDS VALIDATED AND SOLD.
City Now in Shape to Carry Out Her
Contract With The W. A. L. Rail
road. Sold Easily Above Par.
The railroad bonds have been
validated and sold. The hearing
to validate them was had last Sat
urday before his honor, Judge Z. A.
Littlejohn, at which time an order
was granted making the issue le
gal.
It was known that an offer to
purchase the whole issue of seven
thousand dollars was ready to be
submitted to council at the first
opportunity, and so Monday coun
cil met, and after due considera
tion signed an acceptance of an
offer from an Atlanta bond broker,
presented to council by Col. E. F.
Strozier, of Cordele, of one hun
dred and two and one-tenth dol
lars for each hundred dollars of
bonds, together with all expenses
incurred in lithographing and all
accrued interest; it is figured
that this offer is equivolent to a
sale of the bonds at one hundred
and three dollars for each hundred
dollars of bonds.
This fund is more than ample
to carry out the contract on the
part of the city to furnish free
right of way and terminal facilities
to the Waycross Air Line Railroad,
soon to be exnended from Fitzger
ald to Cordele.

BOUGHT BY PLANT SYSTEM.
Rumored That Plant System Has Pur
chased \V. A. L. R. R. And Will Ex
tend throngh Cordele to
Fort Valley
Persistant rumor has it that the
Plant System has made, or, is
about to make, a deal whereby
it becomes the owner of the. Way
cross Air Line Railroad and that
the new owners will take up the
contract with the city of Cordele
and will push the extension ou to
Cordele, and not only so, but will
push the road on to Fort Valley
which would, through friendly re
lations with the Southern, put
this system into t he city of At
lanta.
This being true, the Plant sys
tem would have an advantage of
filty-five miles saved in handling
the fast mail service to Jackson
ville, Fla., and through vestibuled
trains will run over this new line
making it one of the best roads
that enters this section of Georgia.
JOSEPH MERIWETHER TERRELL
BY C. J. SHIPP.
The subject of this sketch was
born in Meriwether county about
forty years ago, and was educated
in the common schools; lived in
that county, spending a part of his
time in Greenville, the county seat,
and the balance on a farm, until
about ten years ago, when he was
elected Attorney General of the
State, which important position
he still holds; at this time he re
moved to Atlanta where he has
lived ever since, though he Btill
retains his citizenship in Meri
wether, paying poll tax and voting
in that county.
He has represented his cpunty
in both branches of the legislature,
having been elected to the house
when scarcely twenty-one years
old, and has been an active demo
crat since that time, in fact all of
life. He is also an ardent prohi
bitionist, and when scarcely more
than a boy, he stumped his county
in the interest of the good cause,
although political prudence would
have dictated to the contrary had
he been a mere time serving poli
tition, for the whiskey men had at
this time a majority of one-thous
and votes; but nothing daunted
by the trying situation, this brave
boy continued his labors for what
he believed to be right, and by the
passage of a number of bills in the
legislature, succeeding in ridding*
nearly every town in his county of
their barrooms ; this is one issue
on which he never would com
promise for the sake of political
preferment.
When quite young he joined the
Baptist church, and has been a
consistant Christian ever since,
giving a large portion of his time
to church work; he was prominent
among the delegates to the Valdos
ta convention a few weeks ago.
He is long headed and a shrewd
man, but usually very conserva
tive, rarely expressing an opinon
that he has not fully matured; in
fact he possesses in a large degree
that quality of intellect that Lord
Lyttan terms sense, rather than
brilliant genius and is a man that
does not wear out after you have
become closely acquainted with
him.
His ability to do things that are
hard to do and his cool judgement
in times of distressing party de
limma’s are something remarkable
and in my humble opinon he is
the safest man in times of danger
that we have in the state and has
made fewer mistakes than any
leader since the days of Hill and
Stephens.
A most lovable trait about him
is that Joe never was known to
desert a friend, and it is often said
that any man who has ever helped
him in any of his struggles has his
gratitude ever afterwards; the peo
ple love him as a friend, the poli
titions tie to him as a man that
can be relied upon, its one who has !
been often tried and never found
wanting.
11 is name lias been suggested ms
a gubernatorial probability, but ns
he has an extensive law practice
from which lie derives a large in
come, perhaps twice that of the
governor's Balary, I very much
question his taking this step; but
should he enter, he will certainly
in »ke it lively for somebody, as In
is perhaps the most widely known
man in the state and his charming
personality has made him friends, j
and his present fight f->r teachei’s!
salaries is making him many new
friends.
ACCIDENTALLY KILLED.
Walker Lewis Son of J. B. Lewis 1
His Oun Accidentally Discharged
While Crossing a Log And
Death Follows.
Walker Lewis, the oldest son of
Mr. and Mrs. J. I>. Lewis, of near
Coney, was accidentally killed last
Saturday afternoon by the dis
charge of a gun he had with him
while on a fishing trip.
Walker was crossing a log and
was using the gun as a support and
in some way the gun slipped, the
hammer struck a log and the gun
fired, the entire contents entering
the young man’s abdomen.
Some farm hands heard the dis
charge, the cries of young Lewis
and went to the scene, only to find
the sad results as atated above
Thus wounded, he was carried to
the home of his parents where
every thing possible was done that
could be done for him, but in spite
this, death claimed him within
tour or five hours.
The deceased was a bright young
fellow and beloved by a large cir
cle of associates. His parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Lewis, and other
relatives, have the heart-felt symp
athy of the Sentinel and a host
of other fjiends in their sudden
and sad bereavment.

ECZEMA'S
ITOH IS TORTURE.
Eczema is caused by an acid humor in
the blood coming in contact with the
ikin and producing great redness and in
flammation ; little pustular eruptions form
and discharge a thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off ; sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and fissured. Eczema in any
form is a tormenting, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times are
almost unbearable; the acid burning
humor seema to ooze out and set the skin
on fire. Salves, washes nor other exter
nal applications do any real good, for blood as
long as the poison remains in the
it will keep the skin irritated.
BAD FORM OF TETTER .
“For three years I
had Tetter on my
hands, which caused twice
them to swell to
their natural size. Part
of the time the disease
was in the form of run- #',i
ning sores, very pain
ful, and discomfort. causing Four me
much
doctors said the Tetter
had progressed too far
could to be cured, do nothing and they for Wl "k
me. I took only three gBSm
bottles of S. S. S. and
was completely cured. m
This was fifteen years
ago, and I have never
since seen any sign of my old trouble.” — Mas.
L B. Jackson, 1414 McGee St., Kansas City, Mo.
S. S. S. neutralizes this acid healthy, poison,
cools the blood and restores it to a
natural state, and the rough, unhealthy
skin becomes soft, smooth and clear.
