Mrs. Kennedy Lost
Purse And Ticket,
The many friends of Mrs. L.
Kennedy will be interested in the
following from Monday’s Cordele
Rambler.
“The fact that Mrs. L. Kennedy,
of Fitzgerald, while waiting tor
the Montgomery train at the union
depot in Cordele today lost her
purse containing a ticket to Mont¬
gomery and twenty-live dollars in
money besides other valuables,
placed the lady m a predicament
from which there seemed no possi-
ble escape from a great inconven¬
ience. She had lost her ticket to
Montgomery, and was in Cordele
without a cent. Her predicament
y?as certainly a hopeless ordeal,
until just as the Montgomery train
blowed the signal for the crossing
and was slowly moving off. Mr.
Cawley who had come in charge
of the purse in an indirect way,
his little grand daughter having
found it and carried it to his house
about two blocks from the union
station, upon opening the purse
and noticing the ticket, and her
card he hurried to the depot,
realizing that it was only a few
minutes before the departure of
the train on which the lady wished
to leave. The lady after hurried¬
ly getting on the train barely had
time to thank him before the train
was gone.”

“Mr. Andy Carnegie has had
nothing to say in reply to the roast¬
ing Tom Watson gave him. But
he couldn’t, without making the
matter worse, for everything Mr.
YYatson said was true, and Andy
richly deserved what he got.”—
Augusta Herald.
YY’e have no doubt it was a hot
roast and that Andy deserved it,
but is it certain that he has read it?

Cohen Took Civil
Service Examination
M. B. Cohen, son of Dr. M. S.
Cohen of this city spent the largest
part of last week in Thomasville
at the Federal Building, before
the Civil Service Board of the
United Statet Navy, who examin¬
ed him for appointment to the
United States Naval Academy at
Annapolis, he having been recom¬
mended by Hon. Dudley M.
Hughes, congressman from the
Third Congressional District.
Of the four appliqants recom¬
mended by Mr. Hughes, Mr.
Cohen was the only one who ap¬
peared before the Board. He is
an exceedingly bright young man,
and is well developed for his age,
being only sixteen, and there is no
doubt that when his examination
papers are returned from the
Naval Academy he will have re¬
ceived a most excellent mark.

An Exhibition Of
Georgia’s Products
Her great advantages and Possi¬
bilities to be shown at The Ohio
Valley Exposition, in Cincinnati.
The Ohio Valley Exposition, to
be held at Cincinnati, August, 29th
to October 1st 1910, is to be given
in Commemoration of the Comple¬
tion of the lock and Dam, of which
the city of Cincinnati and the state
of Ohio have every reason to be
proud.
The Executive Officers of the
Exposition have wisely decided to
allot special space and use vigorous
efforts to get excellent exhibitions
of the South’s products and
resources, and, with th :t object in
view, Commissioners from the
South have been appointed to
handle the matter promptly and
vigorously.
The Commissioners from Geor¬
gia are Colonel Sam’l. C. Dunlap,
Commissioner Georgia Bureau of
Industries and Irnmigation; Major
W. L. Glessner of the Georgia &
Florida Railroad; W. H. Leahy,
of the Atlanta, Birmingham and
Atlantic Railroad, and J. A. Strey-
er of the Macon, Dublin and Sa¬
vannah Railroad.
The following gentlemen will act
in conjunction with the Committee:
Messrs. G. A. Park, General Im¬
migration and Industrial Agent, of
the L. & N. R. R., M. V. Richards,
Industrial Agent of the Southern,
W. J. Craig, Passenger Traffic
Manager of the Coast Line, and
L. P. Bellah, Industrial Agent N.
C. & St L.
A meeting of the Commissioners
was held at Cincinnati March 31st
and they have selected about 21,000
square feet of space for the display
of the products and resources of
the South.
The Georgia committee drew
assignments for exhibitions of for¬
estry, agriculture, horticulture,
manufactured products, except
textiles, fisheries, special decora¬
tions, feitilizer and cotton, and
cotton seed products. The com¬
mittee on exhibition of “ Vegeta¬
ble,” consists of W. H. Leahy, of
A, B. & A. R. R , O J. Stevens,
of the Southern, W. YY. Croxton,
Norfolk & Southern, J. W. White,
of the S. A. L., J. E. Ingram, of
the F. E. C., W. L. Henderson of
the M. & O. R.R., W. J. Craig of
the Coast Line.
The purpose of this committee
will be to gather the finest speci¬
mens of fruit, berries and vegata-
bles as early as possible, placing
them in cold storage, in order to
keep them for the Exposition.
This will be necessary, in view
of the fact that the show will take
place in the fall.
The committee feel that this Ex¬
position affords excellent opportu¬
nities for Georgia to exploit her
wonderful agricultural and other
resources.
The communities should co-op¬
erate closely with the committee
which will be glad to receive spec¬
imens, at any time; delivery can
be affected by correspondence with
any member , of , the ,, committee. ...
For example, the people along the
A. B. & A. road should correspond
with \Y r . H. Leahy, General pass-
enger ° Agent, Atlanta, who has exv \
pressed ... himself being exceeding-\ ,.
as
ly anxious to take advantage of
the Exposition, in order to exhibit
Georgia’s wonderful advantages.
The A. B. & A. R. R. has been;
very active in advertising Georgia
and her wonderful resources, and
bringing people to the State, a work
of prime importance in the upbuild¬
ing of our Southern country.
Mr.Geo. Trainer has severed his
connection with the Family The¬
atre and left Monday night for At¬
lanta. where he will accept a posi¬
tion. Mr. Trainer was connected
with the Family Theatre for several
months and during his stay here,by
his sunny genial disposition, made
many friends. He was an excellent
theatre man, having had much ex¬
perience and the local play house
is indeed the loser by his resigna¬
tion.
