This is fourth of July week, an
notice that a number of the papers
arc keeping up an old custom of tak

avail ourselves of it, and wait for

Ci UK AT INDUCEMENTS TO Pt’K-
ctiaskrs.—As Uic season is drawing
to a close, wc shall offer Dry Goods
and everything else in our line at re
duced prices. I.ndics and gentlemen
nic invited to call and convince them
selves. Very Respectfully,

Tate Springs.—'This popular re
sort, through the Times, invites those
seeking health or pleasure, to go
there. It is one of the finest water
ing places in Tennessee, and as val
uable to the nlllictcd. Read their ad
vertisement.
Beets.—Chastain says lie has got a
beet that beats auy beet yet, exhibited
in these parts, it is a seveu pounder.
Wc can beat that beef all hoilow.—
W e have one in our office every week,
miost, which weighs over a hundred
pounds, but its a (lend b-c-n-t.
Our dorgs will soon he struting
around with new collars on, as they
have airived. We'll bet a soda ticket
(one of Kottman’s) that there arc four
times as many dogs here as iu any
place of its size iu seven States. Kill
ninety-nine per cent of them,then plen
ty would be left.
Cholera.—Although a great ex
citement prevails in Atlanta, it is pos
itively, and wc suppose authoritatively
dcuiod that any has been or is there.
Also it is on the decrease in Nash
ville and Chattanooga. A little good
weather it is thought will dispell it
all.
The friends and patrons of Messrs
Taglor & Ladson will hud them in
their new store opposite the Ti>h:s
Office, on Jacckson street, after the
first of next week. They expect to
move Monday or Tucitjay iu order to
make room for one ol our burnt out
firms.
As wc expected, we missed a rare
treat by not being able to renraiu to
the closing exercises ot Fletcher Insti
tute, for we learn that they were bet
ter than has ever been witnessed
there. Wc congratulate Prof. Moody
on the favorable impression made,
and, by the way, we fully agree with
our neighbor, in the suggestion that
his claims for a position In the new
Institution, as a teacher should he
first considered, and hopo they mav
favorably.
; Small Business.—Somo petty thief
went down to the bathing house the
other night, tore off a plank, and stole
the looking-glass, comb and brush,
towels, and everything in reach. They
drd not go in, but reached through the
hole." It is a wonder they didn't get
in and steal a bath,
A Firf. Incident.—After the fire,
Tuesday morning seme nogrocs cleared
away the trash and ashes, from where
Mr. Koltman’s store stood and in a
cellar got a keg of lager beer and a
large piece of icc. The ice was saved
by the trash covering it up we suppo se.
They took it arround to Prcvatt’s to
get him to open it, hut on knocking
out the hung found that the beat had
destroyed the gass, and they said it
wern’t good hut beat no lager to
death.
Fire, Fire—and keep firing, but
Thompson's mill will keep grind;
nevertheless. lie makes such good
meal that uegroes rather have it than
biscuit, and one tried to break in the
other night] to get some of it, but. he
had heard so much of the reputation
of 1 homson’s mill, lie naturally con
cluded it was a large house, and mis
took the machine shop for the mill,
and didn't get any. But really Lutiicr
knows how to wake good meal, and
;lad to sec him meeting with
so much success.

parts into l»is case, and always go in
the right box. They are all mystified,
but perfectly satisfied ns long as it puts
them in the right place, but if it didn’t
our lore-man would kick (up) the de
vil. We don’t know whether it is an
evil or good spirit, hut it is partial to
the devil, and judging from that, il
must be the former. Wc don’t Kke
spirits, (only like Chastain had at the
bathing house) and want them to steer
:lcar of us.
We are sorry to learn that the Nep-
tunes lost all of their furniture, in
their Hall; this is a had lick for tin-in,
and a purse should he up to get,
them more. They need sonic ac
knowledgements at the hau ls of the
people for their gallant services the

time to give it.

Wc had a call yestei day from Mr.
Itobl. Cobb, of ylmcricus, a contractor
and builder, who comes down
he can get n~joh in building up the
burnt district. He is a fine practical
workman, as good as can he had any
where, and specimens of his skill, in
this line arc scattered all over South
west Georgia. Most of the buildings
of Amcricusshow what he is. Too. lie
is an honorable, refined gentleman,
wc have known him personally for
years, and can vouch lor that. He
brings a letter horn the Mayor of
Amcricus, which speaks in the highest

It is made our sad duty to chronicle
the saddest aud most disastrous ca
lamity that lias ever been witnessed ir
dug city. A fire! the word
carries a fearful dread, at all times,
and few hut the business men, awaken
ed at midnight by the cry, can realize
its real effect. Thi? morning at al>out
3 o’clock, tlie alarm was given, and the
fire discovered to he already pretty
well under beudw iy, between Ilirts*
shoe shop, end Kottman's store,
both wood bn'Mings. And timo the
could get there, they were
very prompt too in turning out, the
flames had spread very rapidly and it
was at once evident that the four one-
stoiv wood buildings would burn.—
Eaf t of these was Messrs. Hardaway
McKinnon & Co’s, two-fctory brick
building which ha 1 a good fire-proof
wall, and was con idered in but little
danger. Wes. of them, was a two-
stoiy brick lio :*c, ot A. & It. Smith,
which had a dead wall, and it was
thought that although the fire was
very hot, the largest wood house being
next to it, and it not being as high as
the one on the cast, it might be
saved. Wc arrive d on the ground nl
halt'past 3 o’clock, when it had not
reached Smith’s House, hut it soon
did. and Chief McLean promptly saw
where tins danger was, and put the
Xcptuncs und- r Lie Foreman, Col.
McGlashan and Assistant Chief, Hop-
kin:.', in front to play a stream on the
top and wall. While with the vigi
lant.? he went to thp rear, :.nd played
a stream on the east side, next to
Hardaway', M< Kin non & (.Vs. which
woil^cd very nicely, both companies,
doing good service and telling finely
on the mad flames as they hungrily
licked the fast becoming l.ot wall of
Smith’s IIous -, and at four o’clock,
we noted the hour for wc cousiderei
\\ the close <». danger, and another
valuable evid* nee of the worth and
personal gallantry’ of our chief and the
whole department. At that time we
say we were sure the worst was done.
But alas, for our liopis; about this
time, by some luisiindei'standin;
fatal mistake was made, by the Xep-
tuues withdraw ing their tclliug slrc-an

After the Fire.—The bustle and
confusion of the fire is about over now,
and tho burnt ont parties have about
succeeded ^n getting rooms; some
temporary and some permanent,
opening up for business, and wc,
as is customary in such cases, and a
everybody else have done, propose to
help them in our way, by extending
to them a free use of the Tisies for
any information they wish to giv
their old customers. The following are
the present locations of the most of
them burnt out:
A. & R. Smith and 8. J. Cosslcs
now hold forth in one of Remington
stores.
J. Fass occupies one of McIntyre
new stores on Jackson street.
Rushing & Outten are in Dreyer &
Isaac’s stores on Jacksou street
Kirksey & Scott can be found at L.
Jergcr’a tailor shop.
Lolmstcin & Stcycmian will move
into Linton's store, at present occupi
ed by Taylor and Ladson.
Kottinan & Kitidou have moved
into Bruces corner.

Davies & Co. are next door to Hard
away, McKinnon & Co.’s grocery
store.
X. Ilirt lost all his tools, but will
soon he open, for the present
found at A. Ilonicistcr.
Mr. John Watts is not located yet,
hut wc hopo he may bo “setting up”
again soon, for he is an indispcnsiMc
here and wc cannot entertain the idea
of his leaving.
M. Taylor, barber, is in the shop
near Young’s stables.
Hammond & Davis are over Drey
er A Isaac’s.
Telegraph office is now located at
the depot, but as soon as arrange
ments cau be made will move back up

Mr. K. T. McLean tendered his rcs-
;nation, as chief of tho Fire Depart
incut at the last Council meeting.—
Wc regret exceedingly to sco this, for
this responsible office never has, nor
will he filled by a more worthy
and cllicicut man, and lus loss will be
felL All hough we have known him
hut a short time, and seen him in hut
ouc fire, wc saw enough then to con
vince us that he was the right man for
the place. We never saw a man
cupving the responsible position, ouc
which all eyes, at dangerous times,
arc auxiously and earnestly directed,
and are subject lo so many sugges
tion. and afterwards criticism, ‘wc say
wc never saw a man cooler,
deliberately familiar with his duty,
aud execute it better, Ilian lie did in
our late lire; and Thomasville never
saw a belter chance, for a man to
show his efficiency and calmness
amidst confusion. This i* the great
est quality that a good fireman should
; he may be ever so anxious
and willing, but at the same time, if
in command, be dangerous, if he does
not possess this essential quality.
Wc hope Mr. McLean’s place may
be filled with the next best
we will not get any better.
An interesting letter appears else
where from our Correspondent “Lyde 1
who has taken himself from tlig“Land
of Flowers” to the Mountains of East
Tcuucssec. We hope that he will

fit of our readers the'’beauties

picturesque land. We commend him
to any of our lady friends in East
Tennessee who would not be averse
to exchanging mountain and glen hill
tep and valley for.the soft balmy at
mosphere of the South, and a homo

Improvements —We notice sever
al new dwellings being erected. Mr.
Rushing is building Ja splcndidjhouse
on the lot adjoining his residence. Mr.
Thompson is building on the lot in
frout of Judge Alexander’s, and oth
ers will bo commenced soon. This is
exactly what Thomasville needs very
ba«I. We don’t suppose an empty
dwelling house could be had in the
City now, Wc need more bouses to
rent out, aud capitalist who have
lauds, in the city on which they are
receiving no income, but paying tax,
wc -Uould think would build houses.
Wc think they would always he in de
mand, and certainly nothing pay
better per cent, on money.

very kind courtesies from our popular
young friend MUler. Conductor of
the famous l’ulman sleeping Coaches

Elsewhere will be seen the advertise
ment of r. C. Sawyer’s Eclipse Cotton
Gin. This gin is now going ahead of
any in use, being made in a manner
to stand use, and. under the immedi
ate supervision of Mr. Sawyer him
self who is a poetical man, and knows
aa much about gins as any man in
Georgia. As will be seen, certificates
from the very best men in the State,
are given, as to its worth and superior
ity over other gins.
Mr. Sawyer, who wc know personal
ly, is as clever as he is enterprising,
and deserves the popularity his
Eclipse Gin is gaining for him. Mess.
Dreyer and Isaac arc ageuts for him
here and we would advise all who
want a good gin to call on them early.
Neptune Election.—The follow
ing are the officers elected at the reg
ular meeting of the Neptune Fire Co.
on Tuesday night last, to serve the
ensuing year. They ate all good
men, tried and true, aud wc know
will merit this honor on all occasions.
