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.

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 house auditorium is not any too 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 and assimilating food.

Judge Allen Fort Mentioned as Possi ble Appointee for Attorney General. fit' C J. SHIPP. 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. It is the lot of mankind to un dergo continual changes from the cradle makes to the the grave and number lu> who of j greatest good resolutions is the most apt 1 of! .o reach that high development which we are capable—the human J mind partakes of that on which it feeds, and right resolving is the | pabulum that helps to produce wisdom and strength of character. “Pray A few days ago I read the ers and Meditations” of Dr. Sam uel Johnson, and was much struck by the frequent good re solutions that he made and re corded all through his long life. This great Christian and scholar felt that tho soul was helped by resolving to do good.

So let us form good resolutions for the new year then “onward in and leave the rest to ^ eaven ' \y v wa y does Cordele want a 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 me nt, except for the purpose of substituting them foi barrooms i n wet counties. The prohibition- toUthe is £ B of th f state, played . , rnor chandler (who has always 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. signs^saicTa r^t^cfosr^eader'of'the^ohtfcat ^Vat^ few days ago it would not surprise him to see Judge Allen Fort of Americus Joe Terrell's successor as Attorney General. He said that Gov. Can dler has for sometime been a warm personal friend of the judge’s and was anxious to show his appreciation of his merit as a man and a lawyer and that he would hardly let this opportunity slip. is popular Judge Fort very through this section and would make an admirable Attorney Gen eral.

We congrat ulate Mr. Wood upon such a selec tion. Mr. Will Woodruff, also mar ried a Miss Wright on the 22d ult. was a widower only a short time, and our community was greatly shocked last Sabbath to learn that he (Mr. Woodruff) had committed suicide. Alter taking his young bride back t.u Imr father’s, on last Saturday, we are informed that, he at once began , . "b r preparations . for . his , . . long sleep. After writing instructions to of his neighbors, for the care he desired for his children he gave his wishes for his burial, then followed the poisonous drug. Mr. Woodruff was apparently in good wedded circum stances, and after being the second time, only such a short tune and being a clever, good natured cit izen our community was somewhat supprised at such a rash act.

On the first Mon 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 burn. We can’t guess who will run 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. 1000 bushels, Tomlin Variety, rust proof oats grown by me for past 80 years, from fall sown seed. 75 cents per bushel, F.O.B.
