The immortal bard probably had no reference to our busi ness when he penned these simple words, but they apply with force nevertheless, for experience has taught us there is only profit in trade when our CUSTOMERS ARE PLEASED. We take a PERSONAL PLEASURE in our business and hope to derive a profit therefrom; but we also take a gen uine pleasure in PLEASING OUR CUSTOMERS and thereby contribute to their pleasure and profit as well.

They did this on their own motion, and against my request, but in a way that my personal regard for them will prevent my declining.

I come simply at the Instance of those who know me best, to try to enlarge my sphere of what they call “usefulness to the order.'- I have no unkind word to say about any one, and I trust that those who do me the honor to press my claims, may do It In “wisdom, justice and modera tion." If elected to the position of President of the Allliance I will do all I can to put ,the entire organization in the way of building up and fostering the financial condition of Its large membership through the principles of co-operation, locally and generally—locally through their own enterprises, and generally through their exchange. I believe that my experience in these .matters will be worth something to the order in the ac complishment of these purposes. I should take the Alliance into no posi tion upon any matter without first ar riving at its wishes In the premises, os may be expressed In its laws, or declar ed by the official action of its advisory committees. When men act on their own moUon, they lometimes fall into error, however, noble and honorable their Intentions may be. The wise man said: “Where no council Is, the people fall; but In the multitude of councellors thero Is safety." Our order Is too grand an organization to be imperiled on the account of any thing. Everything of ovory nature to >e done, therefore, should bo bereft of sel fishness, and only tlie common good of all be sought in evory action taken. Tap per truly says: “Confidence cannot dwell where selfishness is porter at the gate.” With these sentiments on my lips and in my heart, I say to the great brother hood, if you think another can serve you better. Lake him instead of me, and let this be as though it was never written. With no enemies to punish, no friends to reward, no personal interests to sub serve, I am just as willing to bring up the rear as to lead in the front. The matter Is now with you. Fraternally, W. E. H. Searcy. Not Allowed to Land. New York, April 8.—Ten more Im migrants were debarred from landing yesterday and were placed on board the steamship which brought them here Four of the debarred immigrants were consumptives, one was suffering from “alopecia,” the scalp disease which caused the rejection of eleven others on April 3.

It is certainly known that a strong effort has been made to purchase all tlie property in tlie magnificent block, bounded by Marietta, Peachtree, Walton and Broad stroots. ■ Mr. Hcaly and tho other property own ers on tlie block have all been approach ed about a salo of the property. In this connection the rumor was start ed and given much credence, that A. E. Flagler, tho millionaire who built the grand Ponce de Leon hotel, was endeav oring to purchase the block for the pur pose of erecting upon It a *2,000,000 hotel. Such a magnificent hotel would be of inestimable ralue to Atlanta, and would immediately prove a fine Investment for the owners. Stolen From Her Home, special toTiicTikks-Rccordeb. Wheeling, W.

Specie! to Tinbs-Recosdek. Cordele, April 8.—Cordele's pluck is ■till carrying her forward. And every day but adds strength to her already solid and substantial pros perity. Without auy pretentions, she has steadily grown In population and now enterprises, and to-day finds her forging ahead of any new town In the South. One, of the most important enterprises which has been established In Cordele for many months is the Iron foundry, reoently put in operation by the Cordele maehlne shops. It is Indeed an interesting scene. An Immense furnace roars and puffs day and night, while a stream o molten Iron passes from it into huge buckets, and is carried hither ap<l thither by men who empty it iuto moulds of every imagina ble shape. It looks like business. It could hardly be otherwise than bus iness with the present management at the head of the enterprise, Mr. R. G. Tomlin, the president, is ono of the best business men and shrewdest financiers in the state. He Is for Cordele first, last and ail tho time, and he backs his faith with his money. Mr. Ruse C. Harris, one of the beet practical machinists in the South and n man who la well known for his business sagacity and financial ability, is secreta ry aud treasurer and personally superin tends the foundry and maoblne shops. Cordele is very proud of her now bank, organized last Thursday. It's uame Is tho First National Bank of Cordele, and $50,000 la the oapital stock. Dr. George W. Marvin, Messrs. John S. Pate, James E. Bivins, Dr. G. M. McMillan, Col. Z. A. Littlejohn, Mr. W. E. Murphey and Mr. J. W. Bivins were elected direetors. These directors elected at a subse quent meeting Dr. George W. Marvin, president, Mr. Japiee E. Bivins, cashier, and Mr. J. B. Austin, head bookkeeper. Dr. Marvin has been Inventing in Cor dele real estate for over a Jyear and the more he invests the better he Is pleased. He owns n block of neat cottages here which he keeps rented all the time. As president of the new bank he will add great weight and Influenoe to tba Insti tution. Mr. Pate, the vice-president, la known frame one end of Dooly county to the other, and to know him is but to admire hia shrewdness and hie money-making qualifications, Hell very popular and he deserves to be. Mr. Bivins is too well known to the readers of Tux Tihes-Rkcorder to need any commendation from my pen. For over two years he was cashier of the old reliable Bank of Cordele, and Its success le known far and wide.' He la's yonng man of means, who knows how to inn a bank ancooasfnlly, and who believes im- plleUyln Cordele. Success to the new bank. A prosperous year la ahead of this magic city. Those who have watched the growth of the place from Its Infancy, and know the situation, predict nothing bnt prosperity. Those who have but recently moved here declare that they can see nothing but good times ahead. If there wae ever a time when invest ments in Cordele real estate were suc cessful (and who will say that they have ever been otherwise) now le the time. There is absolutely no reason to doubt that with her present backing the city will grow and continue to increase in wealth and population. ACTIVELY AT WORK.

Ltvington is ac tively at work trying to seoure his ro- electlon as president of the State Farm ers’ Alliance. It It reliably stated that quite a num ber of sub-alliances in Chattahoochee oounty have discussed the situation, and have decided to stick up to Livingston, Friends of Livingston claim that all of the counties adjoining 8paldlng will ■end delegatee Instructed for Livingston. They olalm that Col. Searcy le but little known in the State, and that his follow ing will aearcely amount to a corporal's guard. The race has already fairly opened up ' In this section of the State, and Col. Livingston's forces are already organ izing. Thn Americas Jewelry Company. In another column will be found an application for obarter of the Amerious Jewelry Company, In which are many of Amerious’ most enterprising eitlzen*. The organization is a consolidation of two jewelry stores now here, with the addition of others and other capital. It is the pnrpose of the organizers to have one of the most magnificent stores of the kind to be found in the State, keoplng in stock an elegant line of di amonds, jewelry of all kinds, and a handsome line of ptanos, organa and other musical instruments. A splendid new Iron-front store bouse will bo fitted up for the company, and everything will be kept In first-class stylo. This company Is another proof of, Amerious’ growth, and le merely tho outcome of it. It Is a company with capital, push and brains, and oan not fail to prosper. A point worthy of mention le the faot that the Iron front will be constructed by the Amerious Iron Works. Sealed bide were received from several iron works in this state and others, and that of oor works hero was ebeaper than any for the same work. Their bid wae fif teen dollars less than tnat of the Chatta nooga works, not oountlng the freight. This shows the standing of one of Amer icas’ pet enterprises. More House. Here is an example of how Amerious suffers for want of store and dwelling houses. Hr. Jno. W. Cox, a prominent mer chant of Griffin, earns to Amerious yes terday with the Intention of opening a large shoe store. He spent tho entire day in trying to seoure a store building and dwelling house, but could get neither. He found it Impossible, and although anxious to locate here, was compelled to stay out. This sort of thing has gone along long enough, and it does seem os If our capi talists would remedy the trouble. The building going on now Is enormous, but evidently not sufficient to supply the de mand. Oar growth la eheoked by the scarcity of bouses, and all lose thereby. Undertaken to Meet.
