determined that in the entertainment
of this body, tbe (air name and lame

The good name and reputation of

allowed to sulfur.
The order of the Comptroller
General to the Tax Collector to col“
Icct a tax of £25 for 70. and £25 tor
from all parties dealing in the
dent within tiio corporate limits of
Thomasvillc, is creating quite a flutter,
lie is also instructed to collect a simi
lar amount from all parties who have
been selling alcoholic bitters or brandy
fruit, making £100 in all. The ques
tion ot the legality of the tax turns
upon the point whether a clause in
the General Tax Act does
can repeal the danse iu liic char
ter of the town giving exclusive
jurisdiction to the Mayor and
Council iu the matter of granting li
cense to sell or retail spirituous liquors.
The matter will probnnly be tested in
tbe courts.
Fire.
Ji _
The riillness of tfieair was brot-
en yesterday morning at a quarter
past four liy the startling cry of fire!
This was soon followed by the
rapid ringing of the fire bell,
telling in its fast clangings that
the fire fiend was aroused. Bosh
ing feet and a lurid glare on Madi
son St, indicated that the flames
were in that quarter. Repairing
hastily to the scene of conflagration
we found the wood shed and kitch
en, in rear of Mrs. Pittman’s resi
dence enveloped in - flames. The
Fire Department were soon on band,
but owing to the great distance
from the nearest cistern, inefficien
cy of hose, Ac., they were unable to
work effectively. It was soon appa
rent that the residence mast go.
The work of removing everything
oat of the house at once commenced
and went swiftly forward, as tho red
flames were fast creeping over the
doomed building. We are pleased
to know that almost everything was
tify to their nationalcd
Bw devotion. y j •
An English nobleman standing by «uc
corpse oi his illustrious dead son, exclaim
ed to one who sought to comfort him : “I
would rather hare my dead ton than all
the living eons of England." So we may

would rather have our dead heroes than all
the firing heroes of Christendom.

And as Ihe Eeglishmaa of to-day cele
brates the mania* deeds of his ancestors ia
their great civil conflict, caring little
whether they fought for Parliament or

they fought, would only remember with
feelings of saddened pride the glorious
deeds of oar gallant tho' unfortunate sol
dier*. illustrating, as they did. their dear
loved Southern land with a glory of
achievement no subsequent culminating
disaster can ever dim. And in this we do
well, for the nation that turns a cold ear to

Raved. Even the doors, sash, qtfcT possible and actual ia your midst, is al-
blinda were remov jd. We presume "* -*-
that most of tbe contents of the
kitchen were lost. The Rescues,
Xeptnnes and Vigilants did every
thing iu their power, but the two
latter companies labored under the
disadvantages before alluded to. It
was thought at one time that Mr.
Shandal’s residence adjoining would
burn, but hard work saved it. Ev-
rything however was removed
from tue building.
Mrs. Pittman received the warm
sympathies of the large crowd who
gathered, coupled with their active
exertions in trying to save every
thing possible.

the fire which originated in the
wood-house adjoining the kitchen.
From the surroundings it must
have been the work of an incendiary,
though it is hard to believe that any
one would have set fire to the

Wc spent a most delightful day on
Thursday with the good people of this
flourishing town and vlcipity. The
occasion was a Union Picnic of the
various Sunday Schools. Certainly a
happier, or more prosperous looking
gathering we*!iave not witnessed in
years. Everybody appeared to be hap
py, and what was more, they tried to
make everybody else happy. We
think wc speak for the Tliomasville
delegation when we say, that they
succeeded. The substantial fanners
and good housewives were there; man
ly bearing boys and modest maidens
were there; and happy innocent chil
dren with dimpled smiles and
cheeks wcie there. It was just
a gathering as would make one forget
the late stirring strifes through which
we have passed; forget tbe black war
cloud in Europe, and forget all, save
the happy smiling faces wreathed with
contentmeut and beaming with good
will toward all, which met one at every
turn.
The Picnic took place in front of the
Presbyterian church in which the pi
liiuinary services were held. The
were opened by the Rev. James Rush
ing chanting one of the Psaltrs in
tones whose sweetness will long be
remembered by those who heard him.
The ltcv. Mr. llaiford next offered a
beautiful prayer, invoking God’s bless
ings on the Sunday School cause.—
An address followed by the Rev. Mr.
Ainsworth. Iu eloquent strains he
behl aloft tbc world’s great Sunday
School banner upon which was in
scribed (according to tabulated re
port*) the names of no less than six
millions of Sunday School scholars,
aud three quarters of a million of
teachers, I That an army! and what
a corps of commanders! Who can es

'Ab, the partings, tbe high hopes, the
cheery cry: we 11 soon be back! well
soon be back ! of many a gallant and no
ble youth, whose bright eye and gladsome
smile never alas cheered bis mother’s heart
again : and who of us who witnessed those
scenes can recall them without a throb of
the old emotion and a tear for “ilie unre-
turning brave, alas !" who marched away
and were lost in tbe clond of flams and
civil strife, never lo return more. Little
recked they of the long and terrible strug-
ble before them. Poorly armed and worse
equipped, often ragged and shoelsss, sore
ly lacking in artillery and deficient in ma
terial supplies, yet high in hope and eager
for the fray. Cheerily chanting the songs
of their far distant Southern homes, as
they toiled on the weary march, ever con
fronted by an enemy brave and overwhelm
ing in numbers and resources, how well
they maintained your honor and illustrat
ed every mountain peak, winding stream
and waving pine from Maryland to Louisi
ana during that long struggle, let history
tell.
Well might Swinton. historian of the
army of the Potomac, state in reference lo
that illnstrio s branch of oar Confederate
forces, the Army of Northern Virginia,
“Nor can there fail to arise the image of
that other army that was the adversary ot
the army of tho Potomac. Who can ever
forget, that once looked upon it, that ar
ray of tattered uniforms and bright mus
kets—that body of incomparable infantry,
the Army of Northern Virginia, which for
four years carried the revolt upon its bay
onets ; opposing a constant front to the
mighty concentration of power brought to
bear against it: which, recci.iog terrible
blows, did not fail to give the like, and
which, vital iu nil its parts, died only with
i annihilation." Well might Gen. Ilook-
siatc in his evidence before Ihe com
mittee on tho conduct of the war in Wash
ington: “That while their artillery was far
superior to the rebels as was also their in
fantry, except in discipline, that, for rea
sons not necessary to mention, nev:r did
equal Lee s army.’’ And he continued,
“with an infantry far infetior to ours,
physically and intellectually. yet that army
tins by discipline alone acquired a charac
ter for steadiness under fire and efficiency
in the field unsurpassed in myjudgment in
ancient or modern times.' 1 Again Gen.
Hampton states in Id* address at Rich
mond, Va. : “What did Lee effect with
the army of North Virginia lu the three
years lie commanded that army ". He in
flicted on the enemy a loss of over 300,-
000 men besides taking guns and small
arms innumerable, aud in his last cam
paign, commencing at the Wilderness and
ending at Petersburg, with a force never
exceeding 45,000 men and often less, he
destroyed 120,000 of the enemy.and held
for nine moaths a weak line over 35 miles
in length against an array quadruple his
own.'’ Whafa magnificent record ! Well
might Lee. our own immortal I.cc, ex
claim. “The world will never believe the
odds against which wc fought." And ii

at the dinner table, two of Boston's
most excellent ladies, we fared most
sumptuously. Tbeir kind thoughtful
ness and attention was only equalled
by the tempting good things placed
before us.
Two j’oung members of the bar from
Tliomasville, having toru themselves
away from their clients, were on hand
and demonstrated that they were first
clast journeymen caters They went,*
ostensibly, to talk up the May Fair,
but may we be if they did noc put
in all their time in talking to tho/air.
They dido't tote fair.
An attache of the Enterp rise was on
hand He “locked” up (in his “form”)
enough pied matter to do him for forty-
eight hours. And yet, he was happy.
The last wc saw of J/ose Butler he
is engaged in a game of croquet,
trying to make the last wicket. Sev
eral young ladies and gentlemen were
in the game. We hope they did not
leave the “r” out in the play.
To the many kind friends whose
hospitality aud generous welcome
made the day so pleasant, our very
best thanks arc tendered.
Col. McGlashan’s Address.
Wc make room, to the exclusion of
other matter, in order to lay be
fore our readers tbc admirable address
of Col. McGloabau ou the 2bth.—
He has woven fresh chaplets of
glory .and gracefully twined them
about the Southern dead; he embalms
their memory anew and writes their
names high upon the scroll of fame.
Space and want of time prevented its
each returning memorial day find ns
more eager to scatter over the grassy
mounds these simple tributes of affec
tion. They arc Uie emblems of bow
fresh and trasrant are tbe memories
of our dead. The (air ladies of Tbotn-
asville have the thanks of Atlanta for
their contributions to oar memorial
day.**
Let everybody get ready lo go out
to Rocky Ford next Friday. The
Rescues are going to have a gay time
and would be pleased to have all their
friends Join them. Music, dancing,
fun, frolic and fishing will be the or
der of the day. Let everybody go and

Tho election on the 1st passed off
very quietly, in this county. There
were only 247 votes polled; all for
Seo notice of Vico Pres’t Hawk*
ina, railing a meeting of the Thom
as county Immigration Society next
Saturday at 10 o’clock.
As we went to press yesterda/
the various Sunday schools were
making Love’s Grove, ring with
peals of laughter. Time aad press
of other matter preclude further no
tice of the affair this week. We
promise our little friends to have
something more about them next
week.
J fy Friends
At year after year piweth away since
the taifhty straggle between tbe great sec*
lions of ear country dated ia disaster and
rain to tbe Soatb, tbe events
that then stirred Ibn Southern heart ta Us
almost tension, awakening tbe delirium of
triumpher agony of defeat, ore mellowed
over by the mild radiance of time, tbc great
consoler of oil stricken -with sorrow or
bowed down onder the keen edge of grieft'
And we assemble cere to-day not to awak
en the bitterness of the post, or rouse for
n moment feelings inimical to those associ
ated with ns in the welfare of thir*great
Republic. No, a far higher and more sa
cred feeliag brings ns here. For we ore
gathered together to remember ia audnew
aad loTt, mingled with admiral ion, these of
_ banting
into (ears, be cried, “boy*, thisls not the
first time you have seen this flag. I hare
borne it in the very forefront of the btitlc
on many a victorious field nn<l' I would
rather die than to surrender ii now."—
“Breve fellow,” sai l Gen. Chamberlain
of Maine, who hoard him, “1 only regret it
is not in my power lo bid you keep your
colors and carry them home as x precious
heirloom.’’ Tha’. was the spirit of the tnen
whose matchless deeds commanded the ad
miration of all Christendom, whom we a
met this day to honor and in honoring
honor ourselves. They could not return
to you, they are - dead on the field of h
or." but they have rendered the hind they
loved forever immortal in history,and we,
looking back to tbe time of tbeir iris], may
gather from it lessons of fortitude and pa
tience in suffering, lessons of sublime de
votion to duty and form- the determina
tion here never to become unworthy of tb>
grand heritage they have left us.
No. my gallant comrades of the pa»f, ou
fate it has been to endure tbe long Ilia-1 uf
woes you straggled so long and vainly t
avert, yet we have tried to 1/e not un
worthy of you, and the pattern struggl
and weary waiting of oter ten years bring
us hope at last that the principles for which
you fought, the right of local self-govern
ment, will be achieved at last, and in tb<
sound of the felling chains of South Caro
lina and Louisiana w« feel taat the long
night of darkness and doubt is post, end
joy eometh with the morning.
Then sleep, sweetly sleep my gallant
comrades, your memory and deeds are
forever enshrined in the hearts of yonr
countrymen. Fair and gentle hands strew
your graves with the offerings of love.—
Green forever, green be your memory for
ever mote. And to that small but noble
band of Southern women here, who, cber.
ishin; the memories of the past, aad un
willing that tbe soldier dead of Tboma*
county shoal J bt'forg >tten. bat should hare
and proper honor by tbe erection of
lament on this 8 .cred ground to tbeir
memory, what can we say * Your eelf-
impesed task is a sacred and noble one.—
How few your numbers, how severe the
work and bow earnest and faithful tbe ef
fort, we oil know, and sjmtathize with
yon in yoor effort. Realising the honor
intended ear fallen comrades, we here
pledge yon our cordial assistance and sop-
pert, and In tbc name of tbe eurvivieg sol-
dim of Thomas county, tender you a col
dier's thanks, a rlificr'i homage. Like
her of old who was “last at the crcos aad
first nt tbc sepulchre.” ye, too. have beta
faithful even onto the end—sacrificja-
tothe cause thal was Inst, while an>t'liag
remained to give. Now while JU d*c
bare turned a dull car to the aad ccbwo of
the past mod naught bat a ns me and

that die, while ret an effort couH be made.
May He whose blessing is ever on the lor
iag and true hearted of all nations, bleu
yan iayonr efforts and finally crown th<
with
tag nothing and fearing nothing, at (be call
of tbeir State to take port in that mighty
conflict, and dying nt tbe poet ef doty, left

It is generally supposed by a certain
clavs of citizens’ who arc uot practical
orexpet fenced, that Dyspepsia can not
to variably be cured, but w«t are pleas
ed to say that Greed's August

failed to cure Dyspepsia and Liver
Complain', in all its forms, such as
Sour Stomach, Coslivcncss, Sick
/fcadachc, palpitation of the Heart,
low spirits, Aac. Out of 30 000 bot
tles sold last year, not a single failure
was reported,’ but thousands of compli
mentary letters received from Drug
