THE CAT AND THE TAIL.
Once upon a time a cat who prided
herself on her wit and wisdom was
prowling about the barn in search of
food and saw a tail protruding from a
hole.
“There is the conclusion of a rat,”
she said.
Then she crept stealthily towards it
until within striking distance, vyhen
she made a jump and reached it with
her claws. Alas, it was not the ap
pendage of a rat, but the tail of a snake
who immediately turned and gave her
a mortal bite.
Moral.—It is dangerous to jump at
conclusions.

Well! Christmas is over, and
some of the children are actually
looking forward to the next. Some
folks in Cordele acted complete
gentlemen, others acted only half,
and still others acted but little
above the brute creation. It’s
funny, but it's true, there are lots
of folks who just think there ean
be no Christmas if they don’t get
on their old time “Christmas jag,”
It would be Letter for those poor
fools if they had some little con
ception of what Christmas really
is, or, should be, but then these
fellows will, very likely, never
have sense enough to see them
selves as others see them or to rea
lize what Christmas should be, as

The new year is upon us and
we’ve already heard of a good
mauy in Cordele making new reso
lutions and, I am not quite sure
but that some of these have al
ready broken those resolutions,
others will break theirs soon, still
others will break tfiem later on—
some may hold on till near the end
and then forget—while a few will
be faithful to the end, Of course
it is better not to make a vow or
promise or new resolution if you
expect to acknowledge later on
that you had not the will power to
carry it out, but that is exactly
what some have already done and
ofcherg Wll] do befnre the new year
j has ended.

I am sorry to tell about how
they say some rude chaps acted at
the Christmas tree. The school

CORDELE, GA., FRIDAY, JANUARY 1902.
I»rg„ anyway it ml ,t waa packed
with boys and girls and grown
folks too, so much so, that, pres
ents had to be passed from hand to
hand until they reached the party
for whom intended. It is actually
said that many presents stopped in
the hands of “wrongful owners"
and further that some presents
got off the tree before Santa Claus
had a chance to take t hem off and
read the names i' parties for
whom they were it. i oled. Yet
the tree was a success, .everybody
got a present, it was ;l new and
happy event to many children,
and. they do say, we’ll have an
other tree next Christmas just to
please tho children.

Most everybody thought that
the “Harvard pension bill” passed
the legislature and would save the
state two hundred thousand dol
lars or more annually, but such
was not the case. The bill passed
the house but was not passed by
the senate, before the legislature
adjourned. Mr. Harvard’s friends
are now urging that he should be
returned in order to push this
measure, if possible, through the
senate. Not only did Mr. Har
vard, in this measure, and others,
in a quiet way, render a credit
able account of his stewardship in
the legislature, but if a majority
of the representatives and senators
from the other counties were Har
vards, the state finances would be
in better shape. This is some of
the talk indulged in by the friends
of Mr. Harvard of Dooly.

It the city fathers would pay
some little attention to the con
tinued blockaded condition of 7th
street it would relieve the maids
of a good many growlers and a
heap of folks who are not growlers
too. People should be encouraged
in building, should be given rea
sonal street room for reasonable
time, but should be restricted
from the use of all the street all
the time. With the two brick
stores in progress of construction
on opposite sides of 7th. street,
this main street has been so ob
structed by building material
that a single vehicle would con
sider aself quite fortunate if it
always passed with safety.
tude in this matter should be
breviated.

Were you in that “gang” who
formed a partership the other day,
ordered twenty-five dollars worth
of liquor, paid for it and then
couldn’t get it? The stuff was
shipped, a draft for the cost of it
was drawn on the “middle man”
with bill of lading attached, the
draft was paid through bank, the
bill of lading presented to rail
road agent for the goods, but the
agent refused to deliver under ad
vice that he might he held techni
cally guilty, under the law, of sel
ling liquor in a dry county. The
real question among the lawyers
is who would be guilty—the bank
that collected the draft with the
< ‘liquor” bill of lading attached,
tho railroad wl,id, had to have the
bill of lading as a voucher and
knowing it was paid for in a dry
or, the liquor seller? It
is about agreed that the bank
would not be guilty, but the most
amusing and difficult thing now to
do, is to put your finger on one of
those fellows who belongs to the
“gang.”
WHAT THIN FOLKS NEED
Tt is greater power of digesting

all poisons from the system, enrich

The old year tuts passed out and
with its many joys and sorrows:
the most of its will feel that we
have mad’ many mistakes and
have been guilty of many short
comings that could have been
averted if we had acted with pro
per judgement and resolution and
followed our God given instincts
of the principles of right, but this
is now all past history and all
that is left us, is to make good
resolutions and live up to them
during the year 1902.

dispensary? This is a question
that a well informed man asked
me a few days ago; he said that
we would have no trouble in se
curing one if the city wished it,
he then said that if the Governor
had signed the Wright bill that
it would have been next to impos
sible ever to secure one, as that
bill was really intended by its
author to prevent their establish

substituting them foi barrooms

been a local optioniet) to veto the
measure. Notice, said he, that he
always signs the local dispensary
bills for dry counties, but vetoes
those establishing them in w r et
counties, notably the Webster
county bill, and yet he always
gives a reason that is satisfactory
to the prohibitionists.

day in January we are to elect our
mayor and four aldermen—three to .
serve regular terms and one to fill
the nnexpired term of L. M. Mash

the old ship for the next two years.
Our town was very quiet during
Christmas, except the usual “small
boy” and his cracker; there was no
drunkeness to amount to anything,
no arrests. We imagine it would
have been quite different if there had
been a dispensary in our fair Dooly.
Please allow me to say that my hats
off to our noble Governor, Allen I).
Candler and the true Christian gen
tlemen that, composed the South
Georgia Conference, that expressed
their feeling by wiring the governor
and requesting him to veto the fa
mous Wright dispensary bill. Oh,
how different were the views of our
bold and fearless governor and the
preachers in conference, to our repre
sentatives. Of course they can and
will ^xplain why they tried by their
ballot to lodge a viper in our bosom,
Well maybe they will return next
time but, won’t they have to explain
though? Hurrah for the South Geor
gia Conference and our good and
wise governor, for preventing such
a damnable curse being placed upon
us.
