Letter From Hr. Davis.
In a private letter from Mr. R.
B. Davis, Dooly’s representative
in the soldiers home in Atlanta,
written last week to Mr. D. A.
Pitts, of Cordele, he says:
“I have just received the Sen
which Mr. Bivins has been
kind enough to send me all along,
the first page contains a very
interesting write up about “Jolly
Old Uncle Josh” in which a num
ber of the more prominent busi
ness men take a part and among
others I see your name in a very
favorable connection with th e
trade of the city. Did he catch j
you for as much as that show-man '
who was going to print and dis- i
tribute 20,000 copies and give you
a free ticket to the show, all for a
five? But, if you gave Bill Bivins
that much in this instance your
returns will be more ample and,'
D- A. Pitts, the furniture man,”
take in addition a big
in the Sentinel, and you can telli
Bivins I say so if you like.
Cordele is really assuming
. proportions . and I;
glad to see it, for I count Cor
my home and, of course, this
my interest in her]
;
I was out at Sullivans Saturday
<“ Jordel. t
VVe knocked at each and
door and finally resolved j
acquit Cordele of hiding within
her gates anything that was not a
live principle.
The remainder of Mr. Davis’
letter is more private and per
sonal, and the Sentinel is in
debted to Mr. Pitts for the above
The people of Cor
dele have the highest regard for
Mr. Davis and know him sincere
in what he says about his home
city. It’s a pleasure to the Senti
nel to visit such a man free of
charge, and for li is information
we will state that the Sentinel
did not “pull” his friend, “D. A.
Pitts, the furniture man” for quite
as much as the show-man “pulled”
him for.
For Tax Collector.
Mr. Jas. t A. * \\ Tir Ilhams, .... of „ Pine
hurst, writes the Sentinel that
he will be in the race for tax col
lector of Dooly county; that hi
lias arranged his business so as to
give his whole time to the race,
and that he will run to win.
