AN IMPORTANT MATTER.
It is time once more to call atten
tion to an important matter that ef
fects the city and citizens of Cordele.
The city is growing. There is really
more building this fall, and there are
more signs of general prosperity, than
at any time in Cordele for the past
several years. The bright outlook can
he seen by the dullest comprehension.
This city is no longer a mere specula
l ion but is a thriving reality. Herciti
zens have push, energy, vim and enter
prise. Her continued growth is as
tounding those who looked through '
dark glasses and could sec nothing but
a standstill in the near future. Un
bounded prejudice that existed in the
minds of some has gradually given
away to admiration. The “an import
ant matter” to which we refer in tin's
article is simple. Every citizen ac-
knowledges its importance. A large
number have thought it so important
that they have acted and have wanted
n kicking machine because they did not
net earlier. The Sentinel takes cour
age once more, as the season approach
es, and begins to hammar away on the
subject again.We have the satisfaction
of knowing that the people must act
in order to get rid of our articles along
this line. We have the satisfaction of
knowing that if they do act that they
have benefited themselves more than
anybody else. Therefore, let the good
work take on new life this fall, and let
no property onwer rest until he has
planted trees in front of his property.
It is an important matter, more im
portant than some have as yet ap
parently realized.
THE ONLY ONE.
J. R. Kelly bears the distinction
being the only subscriber to The Com
moner, William J. Bryan’s paper, in
the city. He is a careful reader, and
frequently compliments the paper
highly. The price is only $1.00 per
year. It is a weekly paper, and is do
ing a great deal towards the educating
of the people upon those public ques
tions that are of vital interest to every
lover of good government —Vienna
News. Mr. Kelly subscribed for The
Commoner through the Skntinki. and
got both papers for $1.50 for ji.u.
Let others do likewise, it comes cheap
er than $1.00straight when you take it
through the Sentinel.
The opportunities of Southern farm
ers are unsurpassed in the United
States. The great fault is that a ma
jority do not improve their chances.
They are too content to plod along in
in the same old ruts. If they paid as
much attention to farming as the rner
chants do to their business they would
be more successful. — Waycross Journal

(JUEST5 EAT CAT FLESH.
The host was Charles A. Radcliff,
son of E. B. Radcliff, local manager of
the National Saw Works. The guests
included Edward Cox, Roland Wilson
ane Parker Gale, chums and neighbors
of young Radcliff. Among the things
to eat was what purported to be Bel
gian hare. It had been rolled in
ers and fried in butter. All, including '
the young host, partook of it heartily. |
Radcliff was complemented upon the
line flavor of the meat. To-day each
of the guests received the following
letter:
“Dear Sir: Inclosed I beg to present
to your notice a copy of the menu of
the repast we partook of the other day
to commemorate the ascension toheav
ed of Mr. Thomas Cat’s spirits and the
assemilation of his dust by yourself.
Yours truly, C. A. Radcliff.”
The menu inclosed set forth the list
of good things enjoyed, In the “en

The home merchant is the man who
gives you credit when you have no cash
to buy the necessaries of life. The
home merchant is the man who helps
you to pay the taxes tl%t run your
school and pave the streets. The home
merchant is the man to whom you ap
penl in time of distress for favors.
Then why should you ignore him when
you desire to make a purchase? He
sells goods at as low figures as the man
who does business in the big city. The
home paper is the friend in need. It
is to the home paper you must look for
all aid in time of depression and it
heralds good tidings in time of pros
