The people of Thomas county are
interested in their court house. Years
ago. they paid many thousands of dol
lars for the present structure. With
the progress of the age there was a
demand for more modern conveni
ences, and for work and repairs
which would preserve and perpetuate
the building. For several years the
graod jury’s of the county have
strongly recommended the work.
Not until the present year did the
board of county commissioners see
their way clear to its accomplish
ment. Ihe contract was let to Messrs.
Eaves & Chase, two of the most re
liable and competent mechanics in
the State. For several weeks they
have bad a large force at work. In
company with the contractors and
two or three other gentlemen, we
went through the building the other
day and noted the progress being
made. On the Broad St. side will be
a stone platform, 10x34 ft., which will
be reached by two broad flights
of stone steps. The steps and
platform will be ornamented with
a handsome iron railing. From the
outside lobby two flights of steps
ascend to the second or gallery floor.
This floor has a seating capacity of
five hundred. The seats will be rais
ed and in circular form, giving the
spectator a fine view of the court, bar
and audience below. There are,
also, on this floor, two large jury
rooms. From this floor the dome is
reached by another flight of stairs.
The dome is 16 feet in diameter,
lighted by eight large windows with
eight ornate galvanized iron columns
surrounding it. From base of dome
to top of same measures 41 feet. On
the first floor are the main court
room, Judges private room, the
Solicitor Genera’sl room and grand
and petit jury rooms. The court
room, proper, has a seating capacity
of 200. Fight handsome iron col
umns will support the gallery and the
roof above. (They are now at the
depot.) The room is surrounded by
a haft way, or lobby, seven feet wide.
The basement will contain the Ordi
nary’s, Clerks, Sheriffs and County
Commissioners rooms. The floors and
hallways will be laid in concrete. On
this floor, next to Madison St., will be
closets and a temporary prison. The
building will be lighted with gas, and
have water throughout. The mai
court room will be warmed by
furnace in the basement. Great care
has beep taken’to secure ample venti
lation afid good light. The outside
will be finished in brown stone color
and blocked off in artistic style.
The improvements on the grounds
will be in keeping with the splendid
structure in ihe center. /
fence will be put up, two or three
trees removed, the grounds sodded
with grass and laid off in gravelled
walks, and set out in shrubbery.
When completed it is proposed to
put a jainter in charge of the build
ing and grounds Thirty odd thous
and dollars of the people’s money is
there, and the property should be
properly cared for. It will be
economy to keep a competent man
about the premises all the time.
Messrs. Eaves & Chase are doing
splendid work. They are carrying
out their contract to the letter, and
when they are done they will have
added another to their long list of
creditable buildings in Thomasville.
They, are honest, competent me
chanics, and we congratulate the
county upon having let this import
ant contract to them. They say that
everything will be ready for Judge
Hansell to hold his spring erm uf
court in the building.
The tax payers of the county will,
when they see the completed struct-
, be satisfied that their money has
been well and economically spent.
In closing this notice we quote
from Judge George Hillyer, of At
lanta, who was recently shown
through the building. He said
will be, when completed, one of the

Freeman’s Journal
*, a leading pa-
fork City, is out in a
ing the advantages
over the West. The
West has, Hot long years, virtually
monopolized the immigration busi
ness, while' the South, with unappre
ciated opportunities and advantages,
has languished. The tide seems
to be turning in this direction. The
Tunes-tJnion, Jacksonville, in dis
cussing the matter, says:
The blizzards of the present winter
have turned the attention of tens of
thousands of people to our section of
the Union, people who have never
before appreciated the fact that here
they can obtain cheap homes, enjoy
the delights of an equable, mild cli
mate, and acquire a competence and
even fortune more easily and surely,
all things considered, than in any
other section of the country.
The South is a land of churches
and schools, and all denominations
and classes who come here to make
industrious, good citizens, and to
help build up the moral, religious,
and material interests of our section
will and do receive a cordial welcome,
and will find among us prosperous
and happy homes. There is a broad
liberality here that is not as fully rec
ognized and appreciated elsewhere
as it should be, and that tends to
make a homogeneous, patriotic peo
ple out of those who represent, as to
their nativity and education, all lands
and all shades of religious belief and
political opinion.
Another Male of Real Estate.
Mr. Geoige Feam made another
sale of real estate yesterday. He
sold the store house and lot, occupied
by Mr. F. J. Wind, on lower Broad
St., to Dr. Darst, of Toledo, Ohio.
Only the day before he sold the
same gentleman a valuable lot ad
joining the one purchased yesterday.
The lot sold belonged to Mr. Leb
I)ekle. Dr. Darst now has 46 feet
front on Broad St. The property
well located, in a growing portion of
the city, midway between the two
great hotels, the Piney Woods and
the Mitchell. As staled yesterday,
Dr. Darst will erect a handsome
building on the lots. It may not be
amiss, just here, to state that Dr.
Darst and wife arrived here several
weeks ago, aod stopped only for the
purpose of resting a day or two. But
he was so well pleased with the place,
and so impressed with its future, that
he is showing his faith in the place by
investing in real estate.
Oar Valentine, *
We are in receipt of a‘very hand
somely gotten tip Valentine, sent oat
by Mr. Joseph M. Brown, of the W.
& A. R. R. It is handsomely and
appropriately embellished by por
traits of Gens. Cheatham and Mc
Pherson, and scenes that occurred at
the terrible struggle at Kennesaw
Mountain. The frontispiece is a
picture of the breastworks of the
Confederate forces, the veterans
standing to arms, but passive; while
both Confederates and Federals are
actively engaged in removing the
fallen Federals, who are in imminent
danger of being burned up, from the
trash and fallen leaves having ignited
from gun-wadding. The Valentine
can be seen at our office.
The scene is beautifully told in the
work as follows.
Just st this moment the Confederates, at
K rtiont of Cleburne's and Cheatham's lines
held a sight which almost curdled the
blood of every one who saw it.
Set on fire by the gun-wadding and ex
ploding bombs, the dry brush and withered
leaves were banting here and there into a
blaze around the Federal wounded. Fren
zied cries of pain and terror and appealing
calls for help were rending the air.
Ceasing their volleys, by one general im
pulse the Confederates—officers and men—
shouted to the Federal soldiers—“Come and
remove your wounded! They are burning
to death'! We won’t fire a gun till you get
them safely away. Hurry men! Quick.'*
Some of them, uot waiting for the Feder
als to come, leaped over the works, aud
darting amid the flames aod smoke, began
j » their W0UD( jed foes beyond * L *
the fire.
Thomas’s men, dropping their arms,
rushed forward to join in the rescue, and
for several minutes a most extraordinary
scene was enacted. Here a Confederate
would be dragging a disabled Federal down
the bill out of danger, while beside him a
‘•blue-coat’’and a “gray-jacket’’ would be
lifting another and carrying bim along, and
near by a Federal would be the sole rescuer
of a comrade. The two rival causes we
forgotten for the while; hate declared
truce, and the voice of humanity spoke to
willing ears in declaring that man is broth
er to man.
Thus, for a brief period, a remarl
spectacle of fraternal action was displ
by men who bad just been fighting each
other like tigers. The change from wrath
ver more sudden and
p'lcte.
The Federals were very highly Impressed
by the true manliness and chivalrous mag
nanimity of the Confederates; and one of
their majors pulled from his belt a brace of
tine pistols, and presented them to Lieut.-
Colonel W. H. Martin, of the First Arkan
sas Regiment of Cleburn’s division, with the
remark: “Accept these, sir, with my ap
preciation and high regard for the nobility
of this deed. It deserves to be perpetuated
to the deathless honor of every one con
cerned in it; and if you fight a thousand
parted, the Confederates returning to their
:hes and remarking to the Federals, who
died down the hill, “Good-bye, Yanks,

The Water Works.
Mr. James Hawthorn, a practical
aril engineer, who has charge of the
construction oT the water works, has
drawn very handsome and ornate
plans of the old brick tower, as it
will show when completed, and of
the boiler room near it The old
tower is the tower no longer—it
will be the pump room, the water
tower proper being in the aty hall
lot. The following will give an idea
of how things will look around the
wells, if Mr. Hawthorn’s plans are
adopted by the Council, and we pre
sume they will be: The brick walls
will stand forty feet high from the
ground. Surmounting the brick
work will be a roof which will add
20 feet, to the height. The roof will
be octagon in form. It will be cov
ered with tin shingles, the top or
pinnacle will be embellishedby a
handsome design. The cornice prot
jects beyond the buttresses. I-
will be of wood and is very hand
somely designed.
Adjoining the pump rooms is the
boiler house. It will be surmounted
by a circular roof of corrugated iron,
and in place of the present unsightly
smoke stack, an ornamental brick
chimney, 50 feet high, will be erected.
It will be built on the Madison st.,
end of the boiler room.
Some neccessary parts of the water
works machinery has been ordered
from Philadelphia. They will be re
ceived in a few days. In the mean
time work will be progressing on the
pump and boiler rooms, and on the
tower in the city hall lot. The peo
ple are deeply interested in the early
completion of the works. They are,
in fact, of the most vital importance.

A. iVcgro Woman Shot.
About 8 o’clock Tuesday night quite
an excitement occurred on Fletcher st,
just below Madison, by the shooting
of a negro woman, Maggie Harrison.
The screaming of the mother and
family soon attracted quite a crowd.
It seems that Maggie had stepped
out into the back yard, when some
one—as yet unknown to the authori
ties, fired a load of duck shot into her
right shoulder, one shot taking effect
the neck. Dr. McIntosh cut the
shot out. He says the wounds are
not dangerous.
Marshal Spair and Sheriff Hurst
are investigating the matter, trying to
discover the perpetrator of the crime.
The family of the woman are very
reticent about it, not being disposed
to give the officers any information.
It is thought that the woman
knows who shot her.

We will give you a hearty welcome.

In the counties of Mitchell and
Dougherty, the acreage in melons has
increased from two to three hundred
per cent. If this increase is general
throughout the melon growing sec
tions, the growers may expect a glut
in the markets and in that event the
melon crop will prove as unsatisfacto
ry as the cotton crop.

first station has already been done
and track laying will begin on March
first. By the first of April the track
will be laid to the big cut on the
Cooke place nearly six miles from
town and by the middle of May at
latest the track will be laid from
Thomasville to the first station.
We understand that quite a large
area will be planted in melons in
the vicinity of the first station. The
planters in that neighborhood have
splendid melon lands, and they will
have plenty of cars to haul off their
crops. The road will be completed
to the first station long before they
can possibly have any watermelons
to ship. Maj. McLain, the contractor,
commenced putting in the culverts
this week, and by March first there
will be at least five miles of road bed
ready for the rails. The Monticello
people, we understand, by or before
March first, will be ready to submit
a proposition which we think Mr*
Plant will be willing to accept, and if
he does this, next month work will
be going on all the way fAm Thom
asville to Monticello. We do not
know what Tallahassee is doing to
wards securing this most important
connection. The company paid out
nearly ten thousand dollars last week
and our merchants are having a bet
ter trade thereby. Before the middle
of May we expect to ride on the cars
from here to the first station. This
new line is destined to bring only
good to Thomasville. If you don’t
believe this just wait and see. Ii
will also carry prosperity to Monti'

Real Eiitate Tloving.
The best evidence of Thomasville’:
growth and permanent prosperity is
fouud in good demand and steady-
advance in real estate. Mr. George
Fearn, the live real estate agent, sold
valuable business lot on lower
Broad St., yesterday, to Dr. Darst, of
Toledo, Ohio. Dr. Darst will im
prove the property handsomely.
There is no better investment any
where in the South, than real estate
in Thomasville. It never retrogrades
but always shows a steady advance.
Real estate will never be any lower
in Thomasville than it is to-day. We
have no big boom here, but a steady,
healthy growth. And this, after all,
is the safest kind of investments.

While Mayor Hopkins was stand
ing on Broad st., yesterday, talking
to a gentleman, a horse, running
away with a buggy, dashed down the

and after running half a block -
captured the horse. It was a clow;
race, but Willie got there.

the wants of the many strangers com
ing to our town.

they will do nothing at their meeting
but sew. they will probably talk-
some.
