A good plan to dnvc off those wlio

The various churches were all well
flllcd last sabbath. The services .at
the Episcopal church, ilbiiug Easter
Sunday, were ofr*a very' Impressive
character. The church, was as is the
custom, beautifully decorated,-
Commuuion services were bold to both
the Methodist ami Presbyterian
churches, bringing oat the ftill mem
bership of these churches, together
with many others.
What about that bridge across the
Oclilockonec at Hadley a Ferry-or
somewhere else. It would prove a
valuable avcuue of trade to Tbomas-
villc, beside being a great public con
venience. It should be built io time
for the fall trade. No section
surrounding country should
shut off from Tbomaaville. Let us
open wide our gates.
Mr. T. J. Lighifool's Pulmonary
Syrup for consumption, coughs, colds,

tion. From the very flattering cer

effected some wonderful cures Mr.
Lighlfoot is himself a living example
of its effects.
We have on a number of occasions,
called a'.ti
nation in
Tboroasvilfe.~ This V a sd^nrt in
which the merchants are not more in
terested, than the buyers. In fact,
not an ranch. The incichant very
naturally tacks bin freight bills on to
the original invoice*, and figures out
the coat of articles laid down here on
that basis. Of course, the buyer has
in the end to foot the MM. To show
how this operate*,*!*! to convince the
most skeptical that under tho present
regime our town is laboring under se
rious disadvantages, we need only
state that the freight on Iddoa from
Louisville, KSi to Albany; a distance
of700 miles, is 39 cents; and from
Albany to TbomaavQIe: a distance ol
ooly 00 miles, it is 35 cents. From
Nashville to Albany, a distance of 450
miles, the freight on floor is 70 cents
per hundred, while from Albany to
'Tbomaaville only CO miles, the charges
are 70 cents per hundred.jnsl the same
as foi its transportation over four hun
dred and fifty miles oi road. Now it
this is not discrimination, then wc do
notkntfw what discrimination is. But
we hope that deliverance from this
monopoly is near at hand. Changes
arc occurring and likely to take place,
which will relieve Thomasville. May
they be swift and sure. The complica
tions of the A. & G. Road, may work
out to our advantage. The protected
road from here to Monticcllo, will giro
ua another outlet, thus taking the
strain ^ff our present freight tariffs.—
That we need just now, above every
thing else, a healthy railroad compe
tition, is a patent fact to all. And
this compction wc hope to sec. and
feel, at an early day.
The First of May,
the day set apart by the Governor

Vegetable and Fait Growers
Association.
This body of pioneers in the work
outlined by I lie name ot the Associa
tion, will meet on next Tuesday. It
comprises many of our most cncrgi t-
and pushing agiiculluialists. They
have already done much, though in
existence but a short time, toward di
versifying the productions of tho soil
and getting farmers out ot those old
grooves in which their grand ml hers
moved. The May Fair is near at
hand, and this organization is expcct-
do much toward making it a suc
ks. Hence the importance of n full
attendance of the members. Tin re is
not much time left to work io—let
that lime be fully utilized by this, and
all other organizations haviug for
their object Uic development of
the hidden resources of this sec
tion. Not only should this jc done

es of citizens as well.

The Poor—County Commis
sioners Ac.
The Board of County Commission
ers, mindful ot the tact, that,
“tho poor ye always have with you,
have taken steps to make the couuty
hospital comfortable for that unfortu
nate class. The building is to be put
in first class condition, and everything
done U> alleviate the sufferings and
wants of the inmates, and those who
may hereafter be admitted to Its walls.
This is a most ccramendable work on
the part of tho Commissioners, and
one which will receive the hearty en
dorsement of all classes of citizens.—
Good accommodations will be prepar
ed for both whites and blacks. Ar
rangements will be made to care for
both races, separately, bat equally.
Wc learn that numerous petitions
have been received asking for appro
priations to be expended and received
in various portions of tbe county by
parties who refuso or object to being
quartered at tho county hospital. This
course of procecduro on the part of
the Commissioners, would open up
again the old method of caring for the
poor, and which bos entailed heavy,
and in many instances unnecessary
expenditures of the public fhnds.-
Thc county can cure for her poor, bel
ter and more economically when ahe
has llicm all together, than when
scattered all over tho county. This is
a patent fact to alL And while it is
clearly a duty to care for them, it is
also a very clear duty on the part of
the Commissioners to do so at the
least possible expense, commensu
rate with their well being. Ibose
who arc entitled to public charily,
seed not hesitate to accept it at the
couuty hospital. There they will bo
made comfortable as j ossible, and so
situated as thqt no valid complaint
can be urged to the course adopted by
the Board. The county having_ ex
pended several thousand dollars in
Uic prepaintiou of a home for the
poor,it weald be poor policy and worse
financiering, to abaudon it and under
take to dribble out the couuty *e chari
ties promiscuously all over the coun
ty-
At the Inst meeting ot ike Board
the entire body went out and personal
ly inspected Ibc hospital. They will
take immediate step* to carry out the
policy and course foreshadowed, and
which wc liopc will give satisfaction
to all parties.

The ladies are racking active prep
arations for the 2Glh, decoration day.
CoL P. McGlashan has been selected
to deliver an address on tbe occasion.
The day having been made a legal
holiday, should be made one in tact;
and to this eod we hope that tbe mer
chants, bosioess men generally and
citizens of Thomasville wOl dedicate,
at least the afternoon of tbe 2Gth
the tad but yet pleasing duty of com
memorating the virtues of our dead.—
The northern people bare their deco
ration da? upon which they. gather
about the silent City of the dead and
strew their choicest flowers upon their
dead. And this is right—they
owe it to the memory of those who
wore ibc u bft*e’* and we honor them
for it* Bat because ours is a lost
cause, is do reason why we too should
not cull the choicest flowers oi spring,
bedew them with Southern tears, ami
gently scatter them o>r those who
wore the u grty.” Never let it be said
that we have forgotten, or ceased to
honor the Southern dead. They fed
in a glorious cause, in the cause ot lo
cal self government, and their memo-
ry should, and will be, treasured for
ages to coin*.
Interesting Sunday School
Services.
Last Sunday evening w»s the occa
sion of some interesting services in
the Methodist Sunday School. After
the lessons, which were abbreviated so
as to get through with the programme
adopted by Hie Teacher’s Association,
ot which Mr. S. L. Hayes is Chair
man, the 1'residirg Elder Itev. E. If.
McGchcc presented the banner which
has been held so long by the “Little
busy Bees” to the class making the
largest contribution for the quarter
just ended. Tbe ‘‘Helpers,*’ bore off
tbe honor this time, the bauner being
received by the Pastor Mr. Cooke in
behalf of his class. Mr. McGchcc’s
remarks were highly appropriate and
to the point. An address followed by
Prof. L. S. Mc-Swain ot Fletcher In
stitutc. in which some wholesome ad
vice was given tho little girls and boys
and larger ones too tor that. Ilis re
marks were made so plain,and so apt
ly illustrated, that the youngest could
but comprcbcrd and see the impor
tance of learning something of that
country to which all arc tending.
The Treasurer’s report showed
something over twenty dollais receiv
ed during the first quarter, A num
ber of songs were sung by the school
in which a hundred sweet happy voi
ces joined. It is designed to have a
similar programme catricd out at the
end of each quarter during the con
fercnce year.
In this conncctiou we are pleased to
kuow that all the Sabbath Schools ir
Thomasville are in a flourishing con
dition. In no town within our knowl
edge arc these nurseries of the church
belter sustained, more ably conducted,
and more generally attended, than in
Thomasville. The morals of a place
have much to do with Us progress aud
prosperity, tiliow us a town where
vice and gross immorality prevail;
here Sunday Schools languish;where
the houses of worship .arc but Ihioly
attended, and wc will show you a place
where none will desire to locatc,and up
on whose walls, sooner or later, Icha-
bod, will be written.

Trout Lskc
commonly known as Mitchell's pond,
is becoming a popular resort. It is a
pleasant place for a sail or a pull, and
will no doubt reflect many a dimpled
smile in its liquid depths tins summer.
What say the young gentlemen of the
placo to getting up a Rcgelta Associa
tion, building some boats, and inau
gurating some nautical amusements
this summer on Trout Lake? Twould
develop muscle, be an interesting ami
pleasant pastime to those who
mer it here, beside cultivating and cn
couraging a taste among the young
for a healthy, manly sport. Wc are
sure all tho young ladies will join us
In hoping that a Ttcgetta Association
be organized for the summer. A fine
course of six hundred yards cn
had on the lake. This is about as far
as tbe boys would like to pull, until
they get broke in. - Mr. Mitchell will
increase tbe size of tbe Lake this fall
so as to give a mile course. Who will
move in tbe matter first? Who wants
to be Commodore of the fleet?
This essential arm of the Fire
Department were out on drill Wed
nesday evening presenting a splen
did appearance in their new uni
forms; which consists of black
pants, and a bright red shirt with
bine shields and white monograiQH.
A run of 160 yards was made and
ladder ascended to tbe roof of Brace*
Range# and the descent made, in GO
seconds. The company, under the
control of their efficient Foreman,
Sandy Prevatt, bid fair to rival the

, Robert Geddes
We learn from tbe Syracuse (N. Y.)
Daily Courier, that Mr. Robert Geddcs,
who will be remembered by many ot
our citizens, having spent ibc winter
of 76-76 here, died recently out in
Southern Kansas where lie bad gone
in search of health. During his stay
here be won many friends by his kind
ly genial manners, and by whom he is
still remembered. His father, Mr.
James Geddcs and his estimable la
dy, have the sympathies of many here
in their jsad loss. It will be remember
ed that Mr. Geddea made last sum
mer a niaguificedt donation to the Li
brary Association in the way of books,
which was noticed afthc time in
these columns.
on Toenday evening at 4 o’clock.—
They continued is until Thurs
day night, when moat of the
few remaining articles were dis
posed of at auction; Mr. Lb F.
Thompson acting auctioneer. It
)roved a splendid success, both in
he manner of its admirable man
agement, which challenged the at
tention of every one, and the finan
cial $x&bit 3 One hundred and
Blars realized the first
night, and one hundred and fifty
the second, tell how generously the
mldic responded. We have not
earned how ranch was taken in the
third and last night, but a consider
able sum was realized. We can only
glance at the bewildering array of
>eautiful aud useful articles on ex
hibition. As to doing justice to the
fair -ones whose winning smiles
melted the most obdurate, causing
them to “shell oat” these hard times,
why that is impossible. It is but
just to add however, that there w/is
no “intimidation,” and that every
thing was sold at reasonable figures.
On the right, as you entered, was
the cigar stand, presided over by
Miss Snllie Hausell and Miss Willie
Hubert. Next was Mrs. Sloan and
Miss Mamie Remington iu charge of
beautifully arranged table. Here
pyramid cake containing a hand
some gold ring waa disposed of;
Miss Rosa Moore bolding the lucky
number. Next we find Miss Rosa
Moore, Miss 6’yntliia McLean and
Miss Fannie Walden, in charge of
another table laden w ith articles of
taste and value. Adjoining this
was tho fruit table, n very tempting
department, under the control of
BIrs. C. P. Hausell and Mrs. O. D.
Scott And just beyond, Rebecca’s
Well, presided over by Miss Hattie
Alexander. Bock of this was the
supper and refreshment room, man
aged by Mrs. Carrie Reid, Mrs. Jo
Jeiger, Mrs. CoL McIntyre and Mrs.
Coyle. Starling back on the oppo
site side, we find the Post Office run
by Bliss Fannie Hansell and Miss
Bessie Merrill. Next to this was
tho Fish Pond; Miss Laura Coyle
and J/iss Julia Alexander attending
to the anglers. Passing on wc find
Mrs. F. J. Winn and Miss Corinna
Coyle superintending another table
glittering with china, glassware,
and numerous other articles. Ad
joining this Miss Lula Baker and
Miss Clifford McLendon have the
management of another tabic, upon
which nre many beautiful articles.
Still farther on Bliss Mamie
Chaircs nnd Bliss Belle Smith
ore busy at another table dis-
josing of numerous articles
>otli useful and ornamental.—
Next to the door a beautiful bower
found redolent with the sweet aro
ma ol rare flowers. Here Bliss Ad-
die Stanton and Bliss Nannie Coyle,
do the honors of the Floral Depart
ment Bliss Sallie Bailey and Bliss
Maria Coyle had roving commission,
letters of Blarqne and Reprisal os it
were, and most successfully did they
perforin their parts. •
BIrs. Bower, who projected and
managed the affair throughout, is
entitled to great credit for its suc
cess. She literally discarded the
word “fail” and the result has been
most gratifying success; insuring
a parsonage for the Presbyterian
Church at no distant day.
Wo will not be considered invid
ious iu naming two northern ladies
who contributed so liberally to the
success of the Fair. Allusion is
made to i/re. Fubyon, wife of the
Proprietor of the Blitchell House,
and Bliss .Iddie Stanton, of New
York. They have won many hearts
by their unostentatious kindness,
aud their generosity will not soon
be forgotten. In this connection
we were pleased to see that the Fair
was liberally, very liberally, patron
ized by the guests of tbo Mitchell
House. Such acts go far toward
removing the prejudices between
the two sections, aud show that
warm generous hearts beat North,
ns well as South.
Dental.
A hoard of Dental examiners will
convene, as will be seen by notice else
where, in Blacon, Ga, ou the Mliand

What to do With Tbtui.
From proceedings of Council if will
be seen that tbe chain gang is to be
discontinued tbs first of June. We
still tbink that they might be profita
bly lun by tbe town during the year,
but of course yield our judgment iu
the premises to the gcnllemcu haviug
tbe matter in charge. They are aux-
ious to, reduce Ibc e^cnscaj^oTftfe
tpwn, and to pay off, In so fat kipafla»
ticabie this year, the indebtedness ot
the place. This is a praiseworthy
policy, but to cut oil and shut down on
all improvements,docs not strike us as
being the way to build up tbe town —
We hope that the council will utilize
this {force again at; the earliest day
oodsl^tcnt with the financial interests
of Ibc place. A few more months
work would put every street in first
class order,and then ’twould be an
easy and cheap matter to keep them
i.
On the first oi June, itwill. devolve
upon the County Gattmiuioher&'to*
taka charge of the gang, to lease
them ou!, work, or make such
disposition of them as will best
subserve the interests of the county.
Wc notice that the Coromissioucis in
Leon Co. Fin. arc going to put their
gang at work on the roads.leadiug in
to Tallahassee. Would it uot be a
good idea, for our Commissioners
to use the force in the like manner?—
Tbe roads and bridges leading A 0 &
place,have much, very’ much, to d6*
with determining, fixing, and con
trolling its trade. Thomasville should
look well to these approaches. Her
commeicia! prosperity and best inter
ests are involved. Beside, it would be
a great advantage to parties living at
dislaucc. They all have to come
over these roads, and are equally in
terested la having the roads leading
into town well worked aud grade'd.--
Tbcy could haul heavier loads com
ing to,or going from town. However,
the gentlemen constituting the board
arc practical sensible men who will
look to the best interests of the whole
county in tho matter. In their hands,
every ouc may rest assured that the
force will be used to tho best advan
tage and at the least possible expense
to the county. * 1 i *
IFiil uot the Superintendents and
teachers of the various Sunday Schools

ence to the aunual May party given
