Palmer delivered the address of welcome, which was respond ed to by Judge A. C. Riley of Perry, Ga. The Grand Master was introduced by Col. J. T.

Many Thousand Dollars in New Improvements. B. B. Pound, J. W. Roberts, W. H. Trippe, the New Depot and Other Buildings Will Turn Much Good Money Into Circulation. The statement in the columns of The Sentinel some two weeks ago that much building would done in Cordele this Fall, is already being verified. We did not feel liberty then to furnish names, matters have now assumed such shape that we can divulge the of some of those who will build. Probably the most elegant imposing structure to be built are now being laid down «and work of excavating is going on) the handsome 2-story drug store being erected by Mr. B. B. on his vacant lot adjoining the ples’ bank building, and fronting Eleventh avenue. This building will be 30x100 feet, two stories high, marble corner post * n front, with solid glass .door front, so arranged that the entire front can be thrown open, similar to the front of II. J. Lamar – Son of Ma con. The ufiper ’front will be of white re-pressed buff brick, while the second-story contains flegant of fices inside. The entire building has been rented to Mr. G. M. Mc Millan for a term of 5 years, and McMillan’s Pharmacy will occupy the ground W. floor. Roberts, of Vienna, Mr. J. will begin work next week on his elegant 2-story brick hotel, on lot 5, block 11, fronting Tenth avenue, or the Seaboard track. This hotel is to be brick, about 60x100 feet, two stories high. The bottom floor to be used as an office, dining-room and kitchen, and the second floor will contain some 25 or 30 sleeping actively rooms. Mr. W. H. Trippe is lay ing down material for his 2-story livery and feed stables, just across the Seaboard Air Line railroad track from the centre of town, and front ing Seventh street. The railroads have signed an agree ment with the city to begin work on the new union passenger, $10,000, brick and stone, depot next week. There are one or two dwellings in the city being remodeled into new houses, and several prospective dwell ings are to be built, and there is de mand for all, as well as for stores. There are other prospective brick buildings, which cannot be spoken of at this time. The work above enumerated, how ever, will turn loose several thousand dollars in the city, which will be ma terially felt by our laborers and mer chants. Death of Mr. E. J. Round. Mr. E. J. Pound, for the past two years a resident of Atlanta, died suddenly last Friday at 8 o’clock p. m. of apoplexy. He went about his work well and hearty Friday friends morn ing, and some of his re marked to him that he always looked the picture of health, to which he replied that he never felt better in his life, but he was dead at 8 o’clock that night. The deceased was born and reared in the Third district of Dooly county, and had a large num ber of friends and acquaintances learn here who were grief stricken to of his sudden and untimely death. He was 49 years old, and leaves a wife and two grown step children. He is a brother to Mr. B. B. Pound of Cordele. J. D. Pound of Atlanta, R. B, Pound of Lakeland, Fla., Mrs. 11. T.

It Is Probable That the Qrand Jury Will Recommend, and That a Bill Will Be Introduced, Praying a City Court Be Established. Sentiment seems to favor a recom mendation by the grand jury, that meets in Vienna next week, in fa vor of changing the “county” court into a “city” court at Vienna, with county jurisdiction, Should the grand jury so recommend, it is then hoped that the representatives of Dooly county will introduce a bill at this coming Fall session of the Legislature to abolish the county court, and another bill to establish the city court. It is urged that busi- a city court can handle all the ness of the county court, and in ad dition, will have a much greater jurisdiction, especially in civil cases, and in the long run would save the tax-payers of the county a good deal of expense, for the reason that many superior court cases could be trans ferred to the city court over which the county court would have no ,Iria conversation with some of our representative citizens, we found them favorable to the change. They coincided with the views above ex pressed, and gave it as their opinion that the change would, in the long run, save money to the county.
