WELL KNOWN ATLANTA DIVINE
COMING TO ASSIST LOCAL PAS
TOR, REV. J. H. COIN, IN SERIES
OF MEETINGS. 3
Announcement was made last Sun
day from the pulpit of the First Bap
tist church by the pastor, Rev. J. H.
Coin, that a series of*protracted ser
vices will begin at this church on next:
Sunday, October 22, and that Dr. Dan
iels, pastor of the First Baptist church
of Atlanta, would preach throughout
the meeting, with the assistance of
the pastor. Rev. Coin announced
that Dr. Daniels would continue in the
meeting for two weeks at least, and
that it was probable that he could be
induced to remain for three weeks.
Dr. Daniels conducted a meeting at
the Baptist church here two years ago
aydl it was one of the most successful
revival services ever held in the his
tory of the denomination here. He is
a powerful speaker, a man who makes
no attempt at pulpit oratory, but
sitaks the plain gospel in simple lan
guage. His simplicity affords much of
his strength of speech.
A
BREAK IN WALLS
INDICATIONS ARE THAT HEAVY
OUTLAY WILL BE NECESSARY
TO PRESERVE CORNER OF
BUILDING—COMMISSIONERS AP
PREHENSIVE. . ‘
The county commissioners and oth
er county officers are a bit apprehen:
sive over a recent bregk in the out
side walls of the court house building
at the northeast corner. On the esat
side the walls are cracked from the
ground to the top of the building, at
places half an inch wide, and the crack
on . the north side is also serious. It
is {lvidcnt that the foundation at this
corner was either inferior in construc
tion or that it has just begun to set
tle., and it is feared that the lowering
on this corner, if it continues to sink,
wil, develop a serious condition and
that a considerable expenditure will
be required to repair it. The break
in the walls was noticed about two
weeks ago and the cracks show that it
has sunken slowly.
CANNING AND CORN cLUBS HAD|
EXHIBIT OF EXTRAORDINARY
EXCELLENCE—A BIG DAY.
The people of Cordele and Crisp
ecounty who failed to see the exhib
its of the boys of the corn club and
{he girls of the canning club of Crisp
county missed one of the prettiest
shows of their lives at the Crisp coun
ty_court house yesterday.
}(it large numbers of people were
there,—old ones, mothers and fathers,
boys and giris and straggling sight
geeing persons. It was a manifesta
tJ:x) fo the finest spirit of 'progres-
Jive farming Cordele has witnessed
in many a day. '
Barly in the morning the paradé
around the business streets of th
city took place, the girls of the can-!
ning club in the lead and the boys‘
of the corn club following. Farm |
Demonstrator Johnson and Mrs. John-‘
son were in charge. The sight was an |
inspiring one and was more than im-‘
pressive. |
At the court house a number of ad-‘
dresses were made, among them being
talks on corn growing and every line
followed by the home . demonstration
department. County School Superin
tendent J. W. Bivins was in charge of
{he exercises at the courf house.
The exhibit and the interesct mani
fested on all sides revealed the telling
efforts of Mr, and Mrs. Johnson. The
crowds waited until late in the after
noon for the awarding of the prizes.
T\e boys winning the scholarship to
Athens for next summer were -John
Stephens, T. B. Avera and Oscar
Goodrum. These won in the corn
clup on yield and profit, on their rec
or({bc-ol‘:s and on exhibit. The girls
wirfning in the canning club were
Helen Smith from Friendship school;
Zelma Hamilton from Arabi; and Ruby
Dorough of Sharon. Their awards
were three seholarships to Athens
next summer.
Cash prizes and other awards will
be prepared and a full list' given next
week, by Mr. and Mrs. Johnson.
THE CORDELE DISPATCH
i
e
POLICE JUMPED UP HIDDEN NE
GRO IN WATT-HOLMES HARD
WARE STORE AND HE SMASH
ED PLATE GLASS.
Police officers had a lively chase
Thursday night when an unknown ne
zro who had hidden in the store of
‘he Watt-Holmes Hardware company,
and had been locked in at the closing
hour, was “flushed” from his hiding
nlace and dashed head first through
2, plate-glass door at the front of the
suilding. While making a tour of the
susiness section, Chief Sheppard and
Officer Persall came up in the rear of
‘he hardware store and heard a noise
inside. When they shook the back
doors to make sure that they were
securely locked and also investigated
to see that the windows were secure,
the negro evidently became frighten
ed and dashed at full speed through
the front door.
- Parties on the street who heard the
crash and saw the negro’s escape, de
seribed him to the police, but so far
he has evaded arrest. Nathan Jack
son, a painter, was arrested on sus:
picion, but he proved an alibi and was
released within a short time of his
arrest.
TURNER COUNTY FAIR WAS
: SPLENDID HOME DISPLAY
Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Sumner spent
Thursday at the Turner county fair
at Ashburn. Mr. Summer says that
he was really surprised at the splendid
showing made at the fair. The ex
hibits in live stock, agricultural pro
ducts, poultry, etc., says Mr. Sumner,
were some of the best that he had
ever seen and certainly were a credit
to the community. A number of other
visitors went from Cordele to the fair
and all had the same complimentary
expressions to make of the manner in
which it was pulled off and the ex
hibits displayed.
MAN AND WIFE SOUGHT SERVI
CES OF CORDELE ATTORNEY A 7
SAME TIME IN DIVORCE CASE.
A certain Cordele lawyer tells what
happened Friday. A man and his wife,
living in a nearby town, had domestic
trouble as between themselves, and
they agreed to disagree so often and
to such an extent that they finally con
cluded after a “spat” Thursday that
living together was unbearable and
impossible.
They both concluded to get a divorce
and so expressed themselves to each
other. Friday morning, without let
ting each other know their plans, they
both boarded a train for Cordele. They
went in different directions and both
arrived at the office of this lawyer at
cxactly the same time and both took
a seat on either side of the lawyer whe
was busy at his desk.
Here domestic trouble was about to
be precipitated again, and neither
would give in for the other. They
both wanted the lawyer to represent
them, and beth began about the same
time to tell the lawyer of their diffi
~ulties. The lawyer explained that he
could not represent both of them, anq‘
finally matters went along this way
until the lawyer had to send out and
get a lawyer friend to take one of the
cases off his hands.
WwOoOULD BE DEER HUNTERS
GOT WITHIN SPEAKING DISTANCE
J. N. King, accompanied by P. C.
Townsend, of Atlanta, sales manager
for Swift & company fertilizer works,
joined a party in the western part of
Dougherty on a deer hunt Friday. A
number of deer have been killed in
the community during the past several
days, and Friday seven were jumped
and sighted by the hunters. For sev
eral hours a pack of dogs belonging
to Andrew Hill, of Dawson, ran the
deer, but at no time did the hunters
get a favorable shot and the hunt was
given up at dark, to be renewed at an
early date.

LOCAL COTTON MARKET AROUND
17 CENTS PAST SEVERAL DAYS.
LOCAL GROWERS LOOKING FOR
MORE MONEY.
The spot cotton market has been
holding steady around 17 and 17 1-8
cents during the past several day.;..
While most of the crop has been gath
ered there is still a considerable quan
‘tity that has not been placed on the
‘market. A number of farmers, having
met their obligations and provided
'sufficiently for home needs out of the
excellent price for cotton, are holding
a portion of their crop for 20 cents.
This is true in a good many instances,
and is having the effect of largely di
minishing the buying in the local mar
ket.
Most of the local buyers are making
their purchases on the December mar
ket, which closed Saturday at 17.59.
'Some are buying on the January mar
ket, which closed a’ few points below.
To freshen a carpet sweep it with
‘a broom previously dipped in salt
and water shake the broom well hefore

BIG PEANUT CROP
. A. GRIFFIN IS LAYING PLANS
FOR 135 ACRE CROP—MAKES
STUDY OF PEANUT GROWING.
J. A. Griffin is planning for peanut
growing with a determination to make
‘he most of it. He is to become a
pioneer in the business if his plan®
work out successfully. He has been
in southwest Georgia several times
lately for the purpose of determining
what the yield of peanuts is in that
section of the state. His investiga
‘ion has made him determine to try
the venture with a view of making
money out of peanuts. He has watch
-2d the planting, cultivation, and gath
ering of the past season’s crop in
southwest Georgia.
He is planning for a crop of 135
acres on Tremont farm next spring.
This will be a crop of white Spanish
variety. His investigation has brought
him to the conclusion that this is the
type which will do most.
Now he has already laid out the
Yheanut lands and will do his utmost
¥o make the yield greater than it has
aver been, but he stated yesterday
that he felt sure it would be neces
‘sary to ship his output in car lots to
where a market can be found. This,
‘lie says, will cut heavily into the le
gitimale profits.
He is vnthusidstic, however, and pre
dicts that peanut growers hereabouts
will force the ercction of one or two
peanut oil mills within the -coming
yvear in Cordele.
