. A Needed Reform
Editor Progress:
As our law makers will soon
conyene to make laws, and as
the representatives of our capital
city propose to revise our penal
code, why not we smaller fish
suggest to Fulton’s law makers
to first pull the mote out of At
lanta.
I was in Atlanta on June 6th,
and called on Chief Beavers to
see Decatur and Peters streets.
Immediately he placed me in the
care of Messrs. Carter and Pit
man, two of his most trusted
arms, and on to the sights we
went. The first attractaction
was a negro billiard room, 10 ta
bles, 75 idlers scrapping for
places. My first wish was that
I was Recorder of Atlanta with
power and authority to try vag
rants, and Carter and Pitman to
turn the bucks up.
Now the great need of reform
is, to delegate to municipalities,
towns and cities the authority to
try and punish vagrants. This
sort of reform would be felt by
every farm and mill in Georgia,
and the expense of our state
courts would be lessened. And
this devil work-shop of idleness
and crime making would stop.
Put the right line on and let us
feel it. Give municipal courts
the right to try vagrants and
the tale will tell.
R. R. Terrell,
Mayor of Whigham.

The climax of an extremely
romantic courtship was reached
on Monday last when that grand
old gentleman, Judge R. P. Her
ring, in his most impressive
manner, pronounced Mr. Lamar
P. Godwin and Miss Jennie Lee
Finch man and wife.
Some five years ago, Mr. God
win paid a flying visit to his
brother and sister, Mr. and Mrs.
Roy W. Godwin, then residing
in Thomasviile. While there he
attended the revival services con
ducted by Rev. Frank Radcliffe,
meeting the charming little niece
of his brother’s wife. It was a
g nuine case of love at first sight
and before Mr. Godwin left for
his home in Birmingam'he secur
ed a promise from the young
lady that she would wait for
him until his inlistment in Uncle
Sam’s nayy expired.
May the 2nd, last, marked the
finish of Mr. Godwin’s cruise,
and after being honorably dis
charged from the service, he re
turned to New York, his former
home, paid his father and moth-
ther a visit, and then hastened
to Georgia, arriving in Cairo on
the 13th inst, which, by the way,
was Friday and his lucky day.
Sunday afternoon, accompan
ied by Mr. and Mrs. Roy Godwin,
the young man left for Boston
and to the home of the bride-to-
be. Everything being in readi
ness, at 2:30 Monday afternoon,
the couple quietly slipped away
from the Finch home, and after
a circuitous auto ride, arrived at
the station and boarded ' the
“Short” for Cairo, where they
were quietly but happily married.
At present the happy couple
are stopping with their brother
and sister on Pearce street, this
city. v
The Progress joins the friends
of this ex-Man-’O’-Warsman and
his lovely young bride in wishing
for them a continuity of their
present happiness.
Mr. Godwin has just finished
a cruise around the world, stop
ping at all principally ports of
the civilized world. He talks in
terestingly of his experiences ‘on
land and sea.
Death Of A Child
The little thirteen-months old
child, Reeves Jr., son of Mr. and
Mrs. M. R. McGehee, of Edison,
died at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
J. B. Craword, Mrs. McGehee’s
parents, early last Thursday
morning, after an illnfess of some
time.
The child was taken ill at the
McGehee home in Edison. The
father and mother brought it to
Cairo, to the Crawford home,
with the hope that the change
might be beneficial. But the
little one grew steadily weaker
in spite of medical skill and ten
der care, and on Thursday morn
ing it passed away.
The funeral took place at ten
o’clock Friday, Rev. W. I.
Wright officiating.
Mr. and Mrs. McGehee are
sustaining just at this time a
double bereavement, and the
sympathetic heart of the com
munity goes out to them.
Mr' McGehee’s father died
the day before their little son
passed away, and Mr. McGehee
was attending his father’s funer
al at Waverly, Ga., where he
received the telegram announc
ing the death of his little babe.
We have three good milk cows
and six good work steers, all for
