Expressly for the Times.
Broad atreet still looks dreary, but
we hope it will not be long until, build'
ing is commenced, the biick.is all the
delay and the prospects afe that there
will be plenty of them soon.
A Good Idka.—We notice the Coun
cil have authorized the digging of hvo
new cisterns on Broad street, one Tie-
tween Jackson and Fletcher, and the
other between Jefferson and Jackson.
This Is a good more, a necessity felt
at our late fire.

july5-3t
For the last few days fire insurance
ngonls have been quite busy in town.
Mess. Ainsworth & Finn are again
right side up, at their old staud.
Tuesday was the regular parade
day for the Vigil ants, and they were
out on drill.
Sunday ScnooL Item.—Last Sun
day alittle girl,having heard much talk
of the cholera and its fatality,remarked
to her teacher, “did you know that the
cholera wasiu town?” *No, says the
teacher, is it?’ “Ycb, Mr ’s calf
died with it yesterday. Give her two
extra tickets.
Concert.—We understand thnta
project is on foot amougst the ladies,
to get up a concert for the bencli: of
the Band—to help get them new in
struments. Hus is a good Idea, and
we wish them abundant success. But
when the lollies put their heads to
gether, something has got to be did,
and its bound to be a success.
Painful Accident.—We regret
to learn that Mr. Bass, the popular
young salesman in the house ot Ains
worth & Finn, accidentally shot him
self through the flesh part of (he 1c
just below the knee, ou Thursday
morning. The wound, although pain
ful, is not at all dangerous. We hope
see our young friend out very soon.
Most of out friends who were burn
ed out arc gelling thoroughly under
headway again, and their customers
ill find them at their new stands,
oikiug like beavers. Thoniasvdle
icrchants are a plucky set—burn
them out at one place, and they are
found next day in another. Energy
will tell.
Dr. Andrews has in the last week
or so received several calls to treat
caucers, and has taken them iu hand
The glorious “fourth” passed off as
any other day here. Too hot
guess for patriotic demonstrations.
A Curiosity.—Wo saw a two horse
wagon loard of corn, in the car,
town the other day. Jt was quite
curiosity.
Frying size chickens are bccomii
very plentiful in town now; notwith
standing, the conference was held
heic.
Messrs. Taylor & Ladson have
moved into their new quarters, and
look very snug. Jackson street will
come out ycL ^
“Jo” has made some improvements in
his back yard very much needed. We
are glad .we have such enterprising
neighbors.
Fishing is becoming more popular
since tlic fire, as sonic who were burned
out arc too iudustrous to l*c idle, they
pass the time fishing.
Mr. J. T. Phillips has something to
say elsewhere, in regard to those ex
cellent books he is selling. They arc
first class works all of them, and are
sold at astonishing low figures. See
him uud get one.
By request, we this week devote a
good portion of our inside space, to
the publication ot the Stale School
Commissioner, Orr*s letter, which will
be found interesting to all interested
in school matters.
81000 Reward.—Wo see that the
city Council have offered a reward of
81000 for the apprelicusiou and deliv
ery to the town authorities, of the per
son or persons, who set fire to the town
ou the 30th, with proof to conv
Good Meal.—Luther Thompson,
notwitb standing the fact that he has
losl his weasel skin, and hasn’t got
any money now, will continue to
make, as he usually does, good meal.
When your want good meal go and
seo him. jnlyl2.lt.
We arc pleased to chronicle the
fact that Mr. B. Goldberg is adding
another story to his building on Broad
street. Another story on the already
handsome brick edifice, Will give i he
building a very handsome, command
ing, and attractive appearance.
Mr. Goldberg's old customers
find him in his two story brick, at the
same old stand about the first of Au
gust, ready to cater their wauls and
wishes.
Alligator.—A fishing party, last
Tuesday evening came home from the
Oehloekonec with a huge aligalor.
They caught him in a net while si in-
lassoed him with a rope and
tied him to a tree, til they got ready
to leave, when they drug him to Ooli-
lockonec station, put him ou the train
and brought him to town.
He died however, before they start
ed with him and they could not bring
him alive as they intcudcd. 21c was
a huge fellow, measured 0 1-2 f* et.
Willie Hopkins had him in charge aud
as going to save his skin.
A New Trick.—IVo were show
by Lutncr Thompson the other day
new but simple trick. Which though
say simple is a good thing, :.nd
a great labor savor. It was a new
plan to weather board a house;
simply a groove on one side of each
plank, whereby, it is made to fit, and
in putting up the trouble of fitting and
;uagcing, nails &c. is done away with,
,ud after you start all you have to do
is to go ahead and nail as fast as \ ou
can get the plank up. It is au ing« ni-
ous trick, and will save much lime
and labor to the carpeuter. Wc may
not have described it correctly, but < all
and sec it, and you can tc
about it.
Mil R. E. Cobb.—Wc stated last
week that Mr. Robt. E. Cobb, was in
town looking after our building pros
pects, and wc arc glad to state that
whether he made any engagement or
not. lie has leased some land li .m
Col. McIntyre, and will be back ! -re
iu a few days with hands and go to
work right away making brick. Kit .ty
ing what wc do of Mr. C’obb, wc bail
this as a good thing for Thomasvide,
and hope he may he cncoura. ed,
and patronized; and are muc lie .ill
give entire satisfaction whenever tr od.
It is probable that he will pennant nt-
ly locate here, and if he docs, lie will
make a good citizen.
Meeting of the Tboma* County
Agricultural Society on Tues
day last.
A, motion was made that a called
-meeting of the Thomas County Agri
cultural society, be held on Thursday
the last day of July, for the purpose
of receiving reports from the various
sub-committees in the different dis
tricts in the county. These commit
tees have been notified to make a full
report as to what they can do in their
respective districts, towards filling out
the entry list of Thomas county in the
approaching State Fair.
The action of the Society will be
bailed ou these reports, and upon them
will be determined whether or not
Thomas county shall, enter the
list vvitb other counties, for the
truly magnificent prizes offered by the
State Society. It is earnestly request
ed, that each committee, through its
chairman, will report fully and
promptly on the last Thursday,.so
that difiuitc * action may be taken
at that time.
We will take this occasion to urj
upon the planters of this county, the
'vital importai.ee of placing Thomas
in a position where she ■cannot only
successfully compete with any other
county iu the Mate, but whereby the
display of her various products, she
shall attract to her broad fertile sec
tions of land, any from other sections
fora home. It Thomas county, will
but make the i ffort, there is no sort of
doubt, but that she will make an
liibiiiou that will be highly credita
ble.'
This is an opportunity that we may
not have again soon. Let us not
from mere aj a thy and supincue.s^
forfeit the golden opportunity.
not a’ll'ord just to drift along
the tide and c irri nt of eveuts—they
are loo slow—ive will be passed. Let
onward and upward be our pourse;
and then if wc have but done our du*y,
may inscribe Excelsior on our
peaceful banner of agriculture, and
see it float proudly over all, marking
old Thomas as the banner county in
Georgia.

New Citizens.—We have inadver
tantly failed to notice the tact, that
Mess. Goode Sc, McStvain have loca
ted here, permanently. They have
been here sonic weeks prospecting,
and, as all who come here to look,
were so pleased that they have deci
ded to cast their lot with us. Well,
here's our hand, young men, aud our
earnest wishes for the realization of
your most sanguine hepes. They arc
both well recommended, as honest
ami high-minded gentlemen. Wc
have known Mr. Goode from reputa
tion for sonic time, aud we have al
ways heard him spoken of most favor
ably. They come to practice law,
and will occupy one of the room- up
stairs next to the Times office. So
they will be up with the times. Again
we welcome them as a valuable acqui
sition, socially and professionally, to
our community.
Ocr Faiu^Fkemivm List.—We have
commenced w ork on tlic premium list
and will during this month finish it,
aud now wc would say to our business
men this is a tine opportunity to *»ive
your business a good circulation, for
little money, besides patronizing
home institutions. We have gone to
the cxjHmse to prepare to do such
work, and are going to do this here,
aud uot send it away as heretofore to
be done. We propose to get it up in
as good style a9 it ever was gotteu out
in, two thousand copies will be issued,
and thoroughly distributed; and we
want every buMUess in Thomasvfile
represented. Besides the advantage
to the advertiser, he is contributing to
the fair, for wc charge them nothing
for the job and depend on our a«i ver-
liscments to pay for it. So show your
bberality now, as well as your enter
prise. The price is 820, dollars for a
page 810, for a half, and $3, for a qdar
ter.
A clever oi fer.—We learnfby
culent) that during our late fire, as
soon as our neighbor fireman of Bain-
bridge learned of the extent ofthc fire,
they telegraphed that if any assistance
was needed, they would, by the return
train (extra), send fifty men and the
engine to give any assistance they
could. This was n noble offer for our
Bainbriilgc neighbors, and although
they ciflild not assist us, we assure
them that their thoughtfulness and
kindness is appreciated by the citizens
of Thomasvillc. and will ever be grate
fully remembered.
Om cxcuso lor mentioning this at
this late hour is. that wo never heard
of it before. Whoever received the
dispatch kept it :i secret—afraid it
would get out.
Wc took \ **hort drive the other
evening to see sonic of the growing
crops around town : pissing one of tho
places of K. T. McLean, Esq., one of
ir most successful young planters,
c noticed th.it he had bis grass cor-
;red, and reduced to a very small
inter at that
The crops of Messrs. Johnson,
Spmr, and A mold. looks well, whilst
the smaller crops of the thrifty freci
men, who hav< settled along the Colic
road, show considerable care in tiling-
and looks well.
Mi T. C. Mitchell, is making some
sub>tautial improvements just beyond
the Fair Gioti’ids, which will add ma
terially, to the attracti-ms of that al-
rca ly, very hi autiful part ot our town.
Wc drove <»ut by the McKinnon
place, now ow ned and cultivated by
our esteemedonferroc, Mr. John Char*
tain. This crop *ho\vcl cnrefill culti
vation. and looked well, demonstrating

That Choir.—We mean- the one
organized afthe M. E. Chnrch some
time since. Where Is it? They did
well enough for a while, and do when
they can be gotten together now, but
keeping them together and getting
them to interest themselves is the tug
of war. We say it now without fear
of succeasftal contradiction, that with
out the accompaniment of instrument
al music, it carft be done. The ladies
however be it said to their credit have
lost no effort to try aud keep it alive;
“music (instrumental) hath
charms” that we think would, in this
case, surpass the efforts of even the
ladies in keeping up a church choir.
To be plain wc say adopt the use of
the organ in our* church music.. Or
ganize a choir, (which can then be
done,) put it in charge or under Ilia
supervision and direction of the, Pas
tor, and wc will guarantee as soul-
stirring aud pretty church music here
as any place in Georgia. Also, that in
six weeks the most prejudiced against it
will succumb to the “pressure” of its
swci l melodies, and admit that We
sliould have hail it long ago. Look
at the addition it makes in Sab
bath school music, we dare say it
would add quite as much to the
church; and we had as well use it in
church as sabbath school for if wiong
to u.-e it in church, certainly the sab
bath school is equally as sacred a placo
and the minds of the young easily in
fluenced, to favor its use when they
grow up. So why not use it in church,
onteud that if it is a sin in church,
in sabbath school. We are tired
of such poor church music as we have
at lac melhodist church, especially
when ilit? in our power to do bettcr ; and
only kept down by perhaps some clev-
cl 1 members whom we think could
be cosily converted, if they would but
try it a while. Uncle Sam Anthony
who every body knows to be one of
the best men m the conference, for a
long time said he would not preach in
a church with an Organ in it; but now
iu liis own church they have one, aud
still as good a man as ever,
(au«i happier wc think,) preaches as
well, and enjoys just as much rcligiou.
It is all bosh about it ruining the
chuicli; it will make it. Show us two
churches in one place, both of tho
name denomination, with equal ability
pulpit, one with an organ, and
line church music, and the other with
out, aud the usual dragging music, aud
we venture tho congregation of the
first will double the latter. We think
any means to draw a congregation
right; for others than the members of
the church, should be preached to; “tlie
wicked and not the righteous,”*says
Christ.
Wo would like to sec steps taken at
ono to use the orgau, either by vote
of the church or otherwise. But any-
wav, let us have a little music.
The Washington Chronicle, of the
lOtii alt, says * **
“Thf weeping willows at Arlington
have grown from slips cot from Pope’s
celebrated wiUow*t£tTwrckenham, and
brought to this country at the begin
ning of the revolutionary war by a
British officer. He gave them to John
Park Curtis, the father of George
Washington Park Curtis, who after
wards transplanted them to Arlington.
He was very proud of them, and used
to send slips of them'to noted literary
persons.
Floriccltuhk-—All lovers of flow
ers mast remember, that one blossom
allowed to mature “go to seed,” injures
the plant more than a dozen new
buds. Cut your flowers, then, all of
them, before they begin to fade.—
Adorn your rooms with them; pul
them on your tables; send boquets to
your friends who have no flowers; or
exchange favors with those who have.
All roses, after they -cease to bloom,
should be cut back, that tlie strength,
of the root may go to forming new
roots for next year. On the bushes
not a seed should be allow to mature.

Does Advertising Pay.—This
que? tiou. wc thought, was long ago an
swered favorably b}* the most success
ful h ud experienced business men of
the world, but lately wc have known
it doubted; yes, disapproved of, and
by who? A newspaper; an institution
whose business il is, and l»y which it,
live.-. Sliauge is it not? One of our
live-1 aud most enterprising, and as
much interested, citizens proposed to
advertise Thomasvillc, as a winter re
sort for the thousands who, every
ter flee from the northern waiter, and
theieby by bring into our midst thou
sands of dollars, which we do uot now
get. Ought uot such a move to be
inet with a hearty approval by every
body? It should, but is opposed, pud
by who? It is needless for us to say.
But that's neither here nor there.—
There is no doubt but what it would
be u move in the right direction lor
Thomasvillc. We have advnntagi
here, not excelled, for a wiuter resort,
and all we have to do, is to let it be
kno wn, ami get the people to try it
We are glad to sec it is already start
ed. Some have wintered here, and
pronounce our climate superior to the
St. Johns, for pulminary diseases
and more pleasant even. With the se
fact-* before us, is it wise to set our.
selves down and fold our hands, when
these invaluable advantages are with
in our reach? .We think if Thoraas-
villo would spend 8500, iu advertising
our advantages this fall, either by
pamphlet or otherwise, in the North
and West, would pay as well as any
investment site could make. Adver
tise in several leading Northern and
western papers, would be a good idea,
if the pamphlet don’t set so well, any
way will do good. Why do these
Northern spgngs advertise their ad-
van tages, to the people of this section?
Foi the same reason that we should
advertise to them ours; there’s is a sum
