MEN; MANY T 0 ATTEND
L kR AObRRLAES
‘)ROGRAM WILL BE ARRANGED
WHICH WILL MAKE CORDELE’'S
BUSINESS PLANS FOR 1917 LOOK
LARGE. l
- If plans now under way are carried
to completion the business men’s din
ner proposed for the start of the New
Year will be held on Tuesday evening
Janurry 25, probably in the dining
room of the Suwanee hotel. President
C. D. Bercaw of the local chamber of
commerce has settled upon this as the
best time. Details of the program for
the dinner are being roughly drawfl
and it is desired that the strongest
teature of interest to the whole com
munity be incorporated into the even
ing’s program. ‘
President Bercaw wants to an
nounce definitely at this dinner that
a feed mill will be established in Cor
dele for the purpose of preparing the
large quantities of beans and beans
and feed stuffs into ground products
by the time the crops of 1917 are gath
ered. He also wants to be able to an
nounce that a cooperative creamery
will be under way within the next
sixty days.
These two matters are to be dis
cussed by some of the speakers who
will be placed on the program. There
.will be other business advantages for
the common good of the city and the
county to be discussed.
And above all, Chairman Bercaw
states it will be the purpose of the
business men’s dinner to bring all
men from every calling into this one
occasion for an expresison of good
fellowship and an assurance all around
that the one business is bound to the
other and succeeds ‘only in a large
measure in such proportion as all of
the business concerns succeed.
It will be made the biggest, best and
and most representative meeting the
city has ever had. There will be no
word raised in any manner in any
movement to raise funds. It is most
likely to be a dollar dinner of the pop
ular present day style so far as money
goes. .Every effort will ‘be made to
arrange a program of importance to
all business men and all of them are
going to be urged to attend. It is
.suggested now .that no business en
gagement should be made for this
time, so that it will be possible to be
present. President Bercaw says ev
ery man will be needed.

measure the strong interest already
manifest over the campaign in the

be the most satisfactory aifair of its
kind to all concerned ever held in
this section of the state.
Sixteen valuable prizes will be giv
en in this contest and these prizes
have been purchased and paid for and
are ready to be delivered to the suc
cessful ones. Every contestant will

Chevrolet automobile; second, a $450
Kimball piano; third, a $lOO Pathe
phone. The fourth prize is $25.00 in

You Can Win.
You often speak of opportunity as
knocking once only. This may be a
mistaken idea. Nevertheless, here is

It is highly probable that the crem
atory will be handed over to its build
ers within a short time. Careful re
parts on its operation are said not to
look as good to the city governmefit
as they should and those who are try
ing to economize are becoming alarm
ed. There is no great and unusual ex
penditure necessary to kep it in ap
eration, according to those who are
watching the service it gives, but
‘nothing which requires a larger ex
penditure of money than was already
'going to this department before the
crematory was established, is likely
to live long with the city government.
The fight on the site of the crema
tory has about died out, but in the
event it is kept it is believed it will
be taken across town and used at the
old dumping ground or some other
out-of-the-way place so there can be
no further objection to it.
It is an opportunity—because you
can’t lose. A very useful prize will be
awarded to the sixteen popular con
testants, if there happens to be more
than sixteen in the campaign, those
who do not win a prize will be award
ed. ten per cent of all money turned
fn by them for prepaid subscriptions,
provided they remain in the race to
the last day.
Get Ready Now.
If you want to win, get ready now.
It is the early starters who win the
big prizes. Phone the contest mana

If you are energetic you can be a

Awarding the Prizes.
Five reputable citizens of the dis

OF MERIT. : 1

Ernest D. Bass, one of the Georgia,
boys, and a Cordele Boy too, now in
Camp Cotton on the border writes The
Dispatch and says ‘“cracker” ranks
among Uncle Sam’s men enjoyed a
fine Christmas. People at home re
membered them and they ate and
grew fatter. The boys did not have
to work for a week .and they had
plenty of fun. The ‘éamp has been
visited by light snow and it is cold
now. .
He sends his regards to the folks
at home and also’'sends a poem which
indicates that the soldier boys are
gofod poets.—The poem is as follows:
One of Them. *
(R. B. David, Colorado-Field Artil
lery.)
You remember the goats, with the
beards on their throats,
FHow you laughed and yeu joked and
made fun of them?
}You had better at least to have pet
| ted each beast
For if you are in the ghard you dre
one of them.
You remember the day when the
guard went away?
They were cheering, each glad meth
er's son of them, Bafw
{Now you sneer when they swear, but
you ought to be there :
You civilian, you ought to be one of
them.
They have hikes by the scores, and
some blisters and sores,
And they hate it, each son-of-a-gun of
them,
But they’re bucking the heat, and thé
'tough army meat’
And they’re men, by the gods, every
one of them.
They have added sofffe” weight. with
the rations they ate,
Every ounce, every pound, every ton
of them 800 sais
Is devoted to toil, to our flag they are
loyal,
They are giving their:all, every one
of them. ;
They get homesick at time, and they
~ gamble their dimes
While the fellow at home‘makes a pun
of them; j
But they’re “hitting the ball” for they
“answered the call”
And I'm glad I'm proulf to be one of
them.

4,397 CHRISTMAS PACK AGES
IN CRISP SINCE NOV. 22ND
According to the records of express
reecipts in the office of Judge W. P.
Fleming, Ordinary, 1692 two-quart
packages that can be characterized
particularly as «Christmas packages”
passed through the local express of
fice and the offices at Arabi and
Wwenona. The receipts through the
office at Arabi and Wenona were insig
nificent beside the receipts through
the local office. These were ship
ments received between Dec. 22 and
Dec. 30, and of this number 864 pack
ages, covering receipts of the three
days prior were received on Dec. 26.
The express agents are required to
make their reports every three days.
For a month ending Dec. 22 the ex
press receipts in the county were 2,
705, 472 packages less than was Te
ceived during the fiscal month pre
ceding and ending on Nov. 22. For
the month ending Nov. 22, 3,177 pack
ages were received, and this was the
heaviest receipts that have been ex
perienced in any month since the new
prohi law became effective May 1.
The Christmas shipments were not
any larger than they have been dur
ing previous years, and, of course, not
as large, because of the clause of the
POLICE CHIEF CALLED TO
SETTLE MARRIAGE TROUBLE
«Chief, 1 want yo to have dat nigger
rested for breach er promise!” The
negro referred to was none other than
a prominent minister of the gospel
among the colored population of Cor
dele, and the one who addressed Chief
Sheppard of the Cordele police depart
ment was a dusky damsel, an erst
while society leader of Macon’s dark
town. She told the officer that the
preacher had prought her ta Cordele,
promising her that when they arrived
in Cordele they would be wed. When
they reached Cordele, however, the

RAISED ENGLISH PEAS NOW
Georgia-raised English peas is 2a
scarce, almost unheard of commodity
just at this time, but R. L. Towns, of
this city who has a reputation of set
ting a place when it comes to garden
ing is having English peas gerved on
to the Democratic administration.
Mr. Randall of Los Angeles is a Pro
hibitionist; Mr. Copley of Illinois is a
Progressive, as are Thomas D. Schall
of Minnesota and W. P. Martin of
Louisiana. Meyer London of New
York is a Socialist. Alvin T. Fuiler
of Massachussetts sets himself down
as an independent 2
new law requiring two-quarts ship
ments.
There are still about two hundred
Christmas packages at the local ex
press office that have not been called
for. On Tuesday there were more than
600 Christmas packages that had not
been delivered. Some of the ship
ments of the past two weeks will nev
er be delivered to the persons whose
names are on them, simply for the
reason that they will never call for
them. Some, ignorant of the provis
ion of the new law which requires oth
er than the one in whose name the
liquor has been ordered, sent their
order in the name of a friend, or some
one that they happened to know with
out letting the friends or acquaint
ance know that they were going to do
that. So, when John Smith’ goes for
a package for «Bill Jones,” there’s
“nothing- doing.” Bill Jones must be
there in person to receipt for it.
Ordinary Fleming completed his
salary of $6OO per year, provided for
registering the liquor shipments about
three weeks ago, and now all he gets
for this work is seven-tenths of a
cent each for each package registered.
woman gsays she found that the
preacher already had a wife.
In order to get matters amicably
setled the officer ook the Macon wo
man before the preacher and his wife.
The preacher caught the next train
for Hawkinsville but not defore he
had gotten a piece of “mind” from
both the women, threatening enough
to keep him there for a while ,and
then the twe women put in to have
trouble along themselves which the
officer had to quell. -
his dinner table, and they were rais
ed in his own garden. The peas were
planted in October, together with oth
er vegetables that are doing nicely.
Mr. Towns has a garden all the year
around.

CHIEF . SANITARY INSPECTOR
BUSSEY 18 BACK ON JOB WORK:
. ING—WANTS GOOD HELP. #
| gt ;
Chief Sanitary Inspector Bussey is
back on the job, “powerfully” glad
and happy. He is starting the New
Year right by getting on his “clean
up” clothes early. He wants the co
~operation of the business cdommunity
‘in every move for a clean and tidy
town. He is already assured of as
sistance by the ladies, for they do
their best every time he asks them to
help “clean up.” S
The sanitary inspector is no weevil
artist, but he is starting early just
the same. He considers it just as
necessary to fight the mosquitoes and
flies early as it is'to fight the cotton
pest and he promises to do his part.
He wants the help of those who have
duties to perform in the matter of
keeping back lots, barns and out-of
the-way places neat and tidy, for the
best he can do is to move the garbage
and waste. Residents and occupants,
of business places should collect the
trash and place it. where the carts p'g_x_l
get it easily and rapidly. This makes
a more efficient service, .. .
“Inspector “Bill” wishes the public
to understand his department of the
city government is the people’s Just
like other departments and it takes
proper care and support for it to be
made a system that will do the publie
most good. He's hoping that he gets
the proper aid from the start. :
He expresses his appreciation of the
fine support given his departmient in
1916.
