flie Program As Arranged and
Submitted.
Its Blended Discussion of Bible and
Books Will Save It From Exces
sive Scholarship, and Furnish
Seasoning of Spice and Grace.
The South Georgia Bible Insti
tute and post-graduate class will
meet at Cordele, September 9-18.
The program, as submitted, has
regard to subjects, aptitudes, sec
tions, perscmal improvement and
general good of the church. It
might blendeddiseussion have )^gn better or of worse. Bible
, Its
and books' will save it from exces
- sire scholasticism, and furnish a
two-fold seasoning of spice and
grace. The general discussion fea
ture will-give church' folk the bene
fit of brain, clerical and lay, not
seen in ink. The division of a
subject in one place, and a system
of principals and alternates in
another, will, it’s hoped, provide
against failure, prevent monotony
and secur£ thorough discussion.
. Properly received, and religiously
executed, it will bo helpful to the
church, at home and abroad. A
young preacher writes: ‘‘I will
read all I can, and attend the in
stitute. The one last year helped
me a great deal.”

Hon. Dupont Gyorrv to Ad

Next Wednesday At Noon At
The Court House.
He is Well Known in Dooly County
and it is Fair to Presume That a
Large Audience Will Greet
Him to Hear His Platform.
Hon. Dupont Guerry, of Bibb,
candidate for governor of Georgia,
will speak at the court house in Vi
enna next Wednesday, Sept. 4, at
the noon recess of Dooly superior
court. Col. Guerry is well known
in this county; has many warm
friends here, and the mere announce
ment of this speaking is sufficient
within itself to draw a crowd to hear
him. Mr. Guerry is a strong pro- of
hibitionist, and the main planks
his platform is state prohibition, to
purify state politics and state „ legis
lation, to destroy lobbying and to
compel railroads to pay their share
of the taxes.
He has held office only me
under the state of Georgia and that
was when.be represented Sumpter,
Schley and Macon counties as state
senator in 1880-81. He was born in
Sumter county wheie he lived until
1886, wh^n he removed to Macro,

(ladies included) is extended a cor
dial invitation to be present.
MASONS IN CONVENTION.
The forty odd Masonic lodges
composing the Third Masonic Dis
trict of Georgia, convened here last
Thursday, every lodge in the dis
trict was represented by a delegate,
and a host of others who were in
terested in the proceedings of the
convention. The register of the vis

hundred were present outside of the
members of Cordelia Lodge Fo. 296
F. – A. M. this city. The conven
tion was called to order at the Ma
sonic hall at 2:30 o'clock p. m. by
District Deputy II. V. Whipple, and
after the usual preliminaries procession the
convention formed a
headed by W, C Hamilton, marshal
of the day, and marched to the
Methodist church where Mr. B. H.
Palmer delivered the address of
welcome, which was respond
ed to by Judge A. C. Riley of
Perry, Ga. The Grand Master was
introduced by Col. J. T. Hill, and
according to the verdict of every
Mason who was present and heard
the Grand Master’s address, it was
one of the most beautiful Mason ad
dresses ever heard by the Masons in
this section of the state.
After the exercises of the conven
tion at the church the convention
took a recess until 8 o’clock in the
evening when the work of the lodge con
vention was resumed at the
room and lasted until a late hour
Thursday night. The convention
adjourned to meet at Americus next

P. Stomach Tablets contains the
best digestive agents. These di

these digestive ferments tonics
that act directly on the organs

late the liver and bowels, perform putting

Many Thousand Dollars in New
Improvements.
B. B. Pound, J. W. Roberts, W. H.

Buildings Will Turn Much Good
Money Into Circulation.
The statement in the columns
of The Sentinel some two weeks
ago that much building would
done in Cordele this Fall, is already
being verified. We did not feel
liberty then to furnish names,
matters have now assumed such
shape that we can divulge the
of some of those who will build.
Probably the most elegant
imposing structure to be built
are now being laid down «and
work of excavating is going on)
the handsome 2-story drug store
being erected by Mr. B. B.
on his vacant lot adjoining the
ples’ bank building, and fronting
Eleventh avenue.
This building will be 30x100 feet,
two stories high, marble corner post
* n front, with solid glass .door front,
so arranged that the entire front can
be thrown open, similar to the
front of II. J. Lamar – Son of Ma
con. The ufiper ’front will be of
white re-pressed buff brick, while
the second-story contains flegant of
fices inside. The entire building
has been rented to Mr. G. M. Mc
Millan for a term of 5 years, and
McMillan’s Pharmacy will occupy
the ground W. floor. Roberts, of Vienna,
Mr. J.
will begin work next week on his
elegant 2-story brick hotel, on lot 5,
block 11, fronting Tenth avenue, or
the Seaboard track. This hotel is
to be brick, about 60x100 feet, two
stories high. The bottom floor to
be used as an office, dining-room and
kitchen, and the second floor will
contain some 25 or 30 sleeping actively rooms.
Mr. W. H. Trippe is lay
ing down material for his 2-story
livery and feed stables, just across
the Seaboard Air Line railroad track
from the centre of town, and front
ing Seventh street.
The railroads have signed an agree
ment with the city to begin work on
the new union passenger, $10,000,
brick and stone, depot next week.
There are one or two dwellings in
the city being remodeled into new
houses, and several prospective dwell
ings are to be built, and there is de
mand for all, as well as for stores.
There are other prospective brick
buildings, which cannot be spoken
of at this time.
The work above enumerated, how
ever, will turn loose several thousand
dollars in the city, which will be ma
terially felt by our laborers and mer
chants.
Death of Mr. E. J. Round.
Mr. E. J. Pound, for the past two
years a resident of Atlanta, died
suddenly last Friday at 8 o’clock p.
m. of apoplexy. He went about his
work well and hearty Friday friends morn
ing, and some of his re
marked to him that he always looked
the picture of health, to which he
replied that he never felt better in
his life, but he was dead at 8 o’clock
that night. The deceased was born
and reared in the Third district of
Dooly county, and had a large num
ber of friends and acquaintances learn
here who were grief stricken to
of his sudden and untimely death.
He was 49 years old, and leaves a
wife and two grown step children.
He is a brother to Mr. B. B. Pound
of Cordele. J. D. Pound of Atlanta,
R. B, Pound of Lakeland, Fla., Mrs.
11. T. Smith of Cordele, and Mrs. A.
J. Cone of Gainesville, Fla.
The remains were interred at

With County Jurisdiction.
Would Pave Money To The
Tax-Payers.
It Is Probable That the Qrand Jury
Will Recommend, and That a Bill
Will Be Introduced, Praying a
City Court Be Established.
Sentiment seems to favor a recom
mendation by the grand jury, that
meets in Vienna next week, in fa
vor of changing the “county” court
into a “city” court at Vienna, with
county jurisdiction, Should the
grand jury so recommend, it is then
hoped that the representatives of
Dooly county will introduce a bill
at this coming Fall session of the
Legislature to abolish the county
court, and another bill to establish
the city court. It is urged that busi- a
city court can handle all the
ness of the county court, and in ad
dition, will have a much greater
jurisdiction, especially in civil cases,
and in the long run would save the
tax-payers of the county a good deal
of expense, for the reason that many
superior court cases could be trans
ferred to the city court over which
the county court would have no
,Iria conversation with some of
our representative citizens, we found
them favorable to the change. They
coincided with the views above ex
pressed, and gave it as their opinion
that the change would, in the long
run, save money to the county.
