Bui! Tract.
A Half Milo of Track To
Be Put in This Fall.
Will Connect Main Line With
Cotton Oil Mill.
Agent Thompson Will Be Requested
To Furnish Information Concern
ing the Amount of Business
of the Mill, Etc., Etc.
The Seaboard railway authori
ties have requested their agent at
this place, Mr. Thompson, to give
them some facts concerning the
output of the Cotton Oil Mill at
this place, and whether or not
they would be justifiable in build
ing a track from their main line
to the mill to handle the manu
factured goods of the mill.
If the business will warrant this
expenditure, they will put in the
track, which will enable them to
handle the freight direct from the
mill over their line.
Agent Thompson says he thinks
as the business of the Cot
ton Oil Mill Company will be in
creased the coming season, that
the road would be justified in put
ting in the track.
The short line will touch the
main line just above the Cotton
compress, and extend up the west
side of the Cotton Oil company’s
plant, which will give them all
the desired facilities for handling
the product of the mill.
If the line is built, which is
very probable,the work will be done
some time during the Fall.
The Cordele Oil company here
recently sold out their entire
plant to the Carolina Chemical
Co., with a capitalized stock of
$50,000,000, and it is reported
that these people will add a guano
plant to the present plant, thereby
increasing their business. This,
it is understood, is among other
things that has inaugurated this
move on the part of the Seaboard
people.

Change Base — More
Needed.
Business Increasing-Change To
Take Place September 1st.
Willis, Fain – Company — Armour
Packing Co., and Weiseger – Co.,
To Make the Change—Other
Business Changes, Etc.
On account of the increasing
business of the wholesale houses
of Willis, Fain – Co., Armour
Packing Co., and Weiseger – Co.,
these people will make a general
move on September 1st.
Willis, Fain – Co, will moye
their immense stock of groceries
to the building now occupied by
the Armour Packing company,
and Weiseger Co. will move
their headquarters to the building
vacated by Willis, Fain – Co.,
while the Armour Packing Com
pany will move into the large
building recently vacated by the
Hill Wholesale Grocery Co.
This will give each concern
larger quarters to conduct their
business than they now occupy.
The house to be occupied by
Willis, Fain – Co. is situated
on the south side of the tracks
of the S. A. L. railway, and is
a larger building than they have
heretofore occupied.
Weiseger – Co., wholesale pro
duce merchants and dealers in
ice, will have convenient and
larger quarters. The building is
located on the north side of the
S. A, L. tracks and alongside.
Armour Packing Company’s
building is twice as large, it not
larger, than the building vacated,
and is situated on the east side
of the G. S. and F. tracks
These firms are all doing a
flourishing business, and we are
glad to note that their increased
business demands their removal
to larger buildings.
Among other changes this Fall
will be that of converting the
brick livery stable into a large
and conveniently arranged dry
goods store.
The postoffice department is
also figuring on putting in new
fixtures and otherwise arranging
conveniences tor the public. The
sound of the hammer and the
buzz of the saw may be heard on
all sides ere long.

How Cordele, the “City of
Progress” Grows—Always On the
Up Grade — No Wonder Her
Neighbors Are Envious!
Mr. W. H. Tripp is having the
material placed on the ground
preparatory to erecting a modern
up-to-date livery stable building.
The building will be 50x80 feet,
2-stories high, with all conven
iences added that will give the
public the very best of service.
Mr. Tripp is an experienced
man in this business and knows
just what will be in demand by
the public.
He will put in new and ele
gant vehicles, and is negotiating
for several fine horses that will
be used in the livery Bervice.
The stables will be centrally
located, and will be equipped
with everything necessary to give
the public satisfaction.
This is something that has
long been needed in Cordele, and
the news will be hailed with de
light.
The work will begin in a week
or two, and will be pushed to
completion as rapidly as possible.
Elegant turnouts are always in
demand, and we are glad that
this demand will soon be sup

The Railroads and the City
Lome To An Agreement.
Ordinance As Passed By City i
Council.
Main Building To Be Of Brick—Old
Building To Be Cloved When the
New One Is Completed—Will
Not Interfere With W A.L.
Messrs. O. M. Grady, of the G.
S. and F. railway, and W. L, Led
don, of the S. A. L. railway, ap
peared before the city council last
Monday afternoon and obtained
such grants as were necessary from
the city to build the union depot.
This work was to have begun
several months ago, but, on ac
count of some misunderstanding
between the railroad authorities
and the city, the matter was de
layed. When the representatives fully
of each railroad company
explained what they wanted, the
city readily granted it, and the
following ordinance was passed,
clothing the railroad people with
authority desired.
ORDINANCE.
At a meeting of the city council
held this day for the purpose of
consideiing the application of the
Georgia Southern and Florida
railroad company and of the Sea
board Air Line railway, to close

nue and Eighth street, and after
considering the said application,
it is
Ordained by the Mayor and City
Council of the City of Cordele,
and by authority of the same, that

Be it ordained by the
aforesaid, That for and in consid
eration above stated,Eighth street,
between Ninth and Tenth avenues,
be, and the same is, hereby closed,
and that petitioners be, and they
are, hereby authorized to proceed
with the erection of their joint
passenger depot on the said Tenth
avenue and Eighth street, as prayed
for.
Provided, That this ordinance
shall have no binding force on the
City of Cordele unless work on

by September 1st, 1901, and
promptly completed in accordance
with contract already entered into
between the petitioners and the
contractor, J, A. Williams, of brick.” which
specifies the same to be
It will be seen from the ordi
nance that we are now, without
doubt, assured of a new union de
pot. The main building will be
of brick, with two long sheds ex
tending along the main lines of
each road.
Mr. J. A. Williams, the con
tractor, was notified this week,
and in a few more days work will
begin in earnest.
The railroad authorities
agreed at the meeting of council,
Monday, to tear down and
the present building used as
union depot as soon as the new
depot is completed. the G. S.
The grants given to

will in no way interfere with

Clean Up.
Too much importance cannot
be attached to the advice to the
people to clean up their premises,
rear and front. This is the sea
son of the year when disease is
bred in every pile of rubbish,
when death lurks in emptied slops,
and there is a possibility of the
hereafter in every atom of filth.
Back yards that appear, to the
naked eye, harmless and not alto
gether unsightly, are often the
abode of germs, which, could they
be magnified sufficiently, would
scare the owners of the premises
into premature graves. Could a
condition of perfect cleanliness
environ us, most of the evils to
which flesh is heir would be
strangers to our homes. Perfect
cleanliness may not be attained
in this dirty world, but we may,
at least, approach thereto, and
there is no excuse for filth.
