That's the argument of Peter Sellers, and ev erybody who knows- Peter (and that’s (%) everybody in Cordele and then some " knows that his argument is a good one. Peter has proven that by his own experience, for he has served The guwanee hotel for the past twenty five years as its head porter. Peter is wise enough to know when he is doing well and willing to let well enough alone.

LOCAL JEWELER, GETS RECOGNITION OF HIGH OFFICE FOR SPECIALLY FINE BEHAVIOR. The following letter which is self explanatory, is a warm commendation of the services of Corporal A. L. Thornton, son of S. L. Thornton, local jeweler, a Cordele soldier boy who is on the Mexican front with Uncle Sam’s army: “1. At the suggestion of the Com manding General, 10th, Provisional Division, Camp Owen Beirne, El Paso, Texas your attention is invited to the very excellent manner in which Cor poral A. L. Thorntoi, Co. K., 2nd Geor gia Infantry was found to be perform ing his duty while in charge of the Outpost at custom house crossing, Tex as, on this date. “2. The commanding general of the 10th Provisional Division person ally interrogated Corporal A. L. Thorn ton as to the proper discharge of his duty and was so well pleased with his grasp of the situation that he desires that I express to Corporal Thornton through you his commendation for the excellent performance of his duty. “J. A. THOMAS JR,, “Colonel Commanding.” Archie Thornton was one of the most enthusiastic of the local boys go ing to the border and this letter in dicates that he is making a fine sol dier. EXTRA SESSION LEGISLATURE BEING STRONGLY URGED Atlanta, Jan. 16.—An extra session of the legislature for the purpose of considering a “bone dry” prohibition lJaw has been suggested to Governor Harris, but while the governor is an ardent advocate of prohibition, he has not given the suggestion any serious thought. 1t is understood to be the governor’s view that there can be no- special hurry to act an such legislation in view of the fact that the general as gsembly will convene in the next few maonths. The suggestion on:an extra session grows out of the recent decision by the United States supreme court up holding the Webb-Kenyon act of con gress. : Under the terms of the act, as sus tained by the supreme court a state legislature can prohibit the importa tion of any whisky, wine or beer into the borders nf a prohbition state. Another reason why we need our sons to college is because when they graduate they can come home and sneer at how little we know.

PAUL'S IN AL BANY—NO DECISION YET. Rev. John Moore Walker, rector of Christ’s Kpiscopal church of this city, has been extended a call to the rectary of St. Paul's Episcopal church at Al bany. A committee of the vestry of the Albany church came to Cordele Monday to extend the call to Rev. Walker. The call is to replace Rev. Newton Middleton, former pastor of the Albany church, who recently ac cepted a call to St. Paul's Episcopal church at Winston-Salem, N. C. Mr. Walker has not as yet decided whether he will accept the call or not, though he expects to give the Albany church an answer in a few days. The church there is a parish and the church here a mission, which is the principal inducement to Rev. Walker to go to the Albany church. However, he is thoroughly pleased with Cordele and the church, and his leaving would prove a deep regret not only on the part of his congregation but hun dreds of other friends of himself ana wife in Cordele.
