The Cordele Sentinel. J. W. BIVINS, Editor and publisher. TEH MS OP SUBSCRIPTION. One Year......... ..$wo Six Month*...... 90 Three Month*. . 'lb ' . . Friday, March 7, 1902. — ■ The Jlawkimville Dispatch and News has declared for Prof. W 11. Merritt, of Valdosta, for State School Commis sioner. Tillman art the name! which should lie blotted out from memory and South Carolina should remember it by reward no more forever. It’s a knotty problem to convince the public that a real partisan newspaper can fgive the other fellow equal and exact justice nt all times. The grand jury has ordered the last of the court house bonds paid off and has lowered the tax rate in Dooly county to three mills. It’s coming—dispensary or anti-dis pensary—here in Dougherty county. The issue hasn’t been formally raised yet, hut there is lots of talk about it.— Albany Herald, “This is tough luck,” said Hain, mournfully, as lie leaned over the side of the ark. “What’s wrong now?” queried Shorn. “Why, all this water to fish in,” replied Ham, “and only two worms on board.” The Georgia Baptist Convention will meet in Rome March 26to 30, inclusive, and the railroads have given a rate of one and one-tenth fare for the round trip from all points in Georgia within 300 miles of Rome. The Augusta Chronicle states a fact and then asks a pertinent question in the following: “The new'spaper is called on to help every interest in the community, but does every interest in the community think about helping to support the newspaper?” A Kansas editor pays the following tribute to his “girl -.” “There is glad ness in her gladness when she’s glad— there is sadness in her sadness when she’s sad—but the gladness of her glad ness nor the sadness of the sadness is nothing to her madness when she’s mad.” It is estimated that the value of land along rural delivery routes has increas ed from $2 to $5 an acre. Then, too, there is an educational value in the rural free delivery, in that thousands more magazines and periodicals are finding their way to people’s homes. According to Uncle Sam, the best authority, Cordele shows the lowest death rate in proportion to number of inhabitants of any city in Georgia, and yet we know of some up-the-country people who believe Cordele is a veri table death hole, instead of being the healthiest city in Georgia. Many of Mr. Terrell’s friends are criticising him for not replying to Mr. Guerry’s attacks, replete ns they are with sarcasm and ridicule, and they express the opinion that he should hit back, even if ho does not enter joint debates, a decision in which they have heartily concurred.—Atlanta Cor. to the Savannah News.

'Flic Sentinel i« indebted to Prof. Fleming,the efficient superintendent our public schools, for bis valued page article this week on “Cot-deles wonderful growth within the past three months.” It will prove quite interest ing to all who read it. - That ‘politics make strange bed fel lers” is fully illustrated by the present line-up in Doo'y county, The candi date of even two years ago would hard !y recognize the situation should he meet it in the middle of the road in the broad-open daylight. 'The Skntinkl has repeatedly an nounced that it would take no stock in county politics further than treat all candidates fairly and impartially and we trust that any candidate who feels himself slighted by the Sentinel will call and explain the slight so that we may say something nice about him too—provided there is anything nice to he said—and we guess there will be. There is a newspaper in Kansas whose motto is‘‘Lie, steal, drink and swear,” and it is thus explained by the editor: When you lie let it be down to pleasant dreams;when you steal, Jet it be away, from immoral associates; when you drink, let it be pure water; when you swear let it be that you will patronize your home paper, pay your subscription and not send your job work away from home.

Resolutions, Adopted by The Teachers Insti tute of Dooly County, Upon the Death of Miss Nora Ingram She was born November 9, 1878, an d was taken from this world of sorrow October ]6, 5901. She joined the Baptist church at Ml Vernon under the pastorage of Rev. G. T. Jennings. In the death of this young lady the Institute loses one of its best members, and we feel this sad loss. She was a Christian lady and her friends were numbered by her ac quaintances. She was a good worker in the school-room and institute. May we all imitate her example, and live nobler, better things and the vancement of His cause and the enlightenment of our country. Therefore be it Resolved, — That the Institute has lost one of its most worthy members. Resolved, Second, That we strive to carry on the work she began, to where it is most needed. Resolved, Third, That we extend our sympathy to the bereaved families, and that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the Cordele Sentinel, the Vienna News and Vienna Progress. Rev. G. T.
