Keep an eye on us, will you?
If you don’t believe this is a
bang-up sheet, keep it to yourself.
There are others.
There is a great variety of Parks.
There’s Fairmount Park—Central
Park—Editor Park—’Nough said.
It is perfectly safe for a stranger
to visit Atlanta these days. The
whole iown has joined the church.
Sam Jones is a wonder.
The Cuban correspondents are
taking a sest lately. They seem
to have realized at last that the
public is thorougly disgusted with
their fake dispatches.
Some of the local correspondents
of Atlanta papers have been quite
busy lately. If they wish to give
Jesup notoriety, they have taken a
sure method of doing so by adver¬
tising it in the “Looking Gluse.”
We are in a predicament. We
have work to do in the office, yet
at the same time we would like to
be on the streets and catch what
news is going. We wish Bruffey,
the Constitution man, would give
us a tip.
We wonder how many of the
editors who ure denouncing those
brutes, those boss's in human form
.—Corbett and Fitzsimmons—so
strongly, were stretching their
necks to get a glimpse of the re
turns from Carson on the 17th.
NOTICE.
To the Democratic Executive
Comittee of Wayne County:
There having been a vacancy in
the office of Tax Collector, caused
by the death of W. B. Bennett, Jr.,
you are requested to meet me in
Jesup on Tuesday, April 6th, next,
at noon, to consider the manner of
electing his successor. If you can¬
not meet in person, please write
your views.

Corbett Meets Fit*.
San Francisco. March 23—Jaroes
James J. Corbett this afternoon
secured his much wanted interview
with Fitzsimmons. The men met
in the lobby of the hotel and
greeted each other with the utmost
eordiabty.
Corbett entreated Fitzsimmons
to give him another ehance to
trleve Ins reputation.
reiterated his determination never
to fight again, but finally promised
if he ever re-entered the ring Cor
bett should have the first chance.

Something to Depend On.

New Diecove-y in store, and selling

and to the surprise of all she began
to get better from first dose and

good work. Try it. Free trial hot

The Good Democrat That’s Gone
Under the head of “Another
Good Democrat Gone,” the Jesup
Sentinel proceeds to take a slap at
the News. With a little patience
and the aid of* a microscope we
managed to read the article all the
WH -V through a feat of which
fe 1 justly proud. Reading the
stars is a ‘cinch’ compared to
reading the Sentinel. We would
suggest that as a means of adding

succeeds in reading the Sentinel

would be absolutely safe in
this offer, for it would be impossi¬
ble for any one to wade through
such a hazy, foggy looking
We fail to see where the
has b' en making any effort to
out or break down the
although if such was our
we would only have to play a wait¬
ing game as the Sentinel is about
out of wind now, and go'ng
the hill at a rapid gait—that is,
a paper that starts at the bottom
of the hill and Stays there, can
said to go down-hill.
The Sentinel is very much mis
taken in thinking that the fact of
Editor Park being a democrat
caused the stockholders of this
company to overlook his short¬
comings. It is a reflection on the
stockholders of this paper to state
anything of the kind. Tb?y are
all men of good standing in
community, and would not allow
ihe question of a man’s politics to
affect their judgment, or cause
them to condone his rascality, no
matter what his political belief
might be,
While morally not responsible
for a cent of the defunct editor’s
indebtedness, the stockholders have
expressed their entire willingness
to discharge such debts as their
misplaced confidence in him laid
th"m legally liable for, and it will
not be necessary, as the Sentinel
thinks probable, for utiy of the
creditors to secure themselves by
attaching the News outfit.
Purks, personally, no more rep
resented the polities of the stock
holders of this paper, than does
Sentinel represent the politics
anybody or anything. It is,
true—we may truthfully, add pity
’tis true—making desperate
to represent the politics of
Populist party, but oh, Lord !
an attempt.
In conclusion, we would like to
suy that if the Sentinel wishes
get a lick at the democrats
Wayne county, it could use other
und fairer means to so.
