fair.” The thought is worthy the at
tention of the business men and prop
cny holders of Thomasville. Wc
should be glad to have the views o:
our leading citizens on the subject.
\ special to the Macon Telegraph
's: “It is said that a large party
of young ladies will mate a circuit
of the picket lines, to-night, when the
moon rises and supply the boy
sandwitches and coffee. In a
to a cal! from the Mayor some fifty
dry good clerks and railroad
ployees shouldered their guns and
marched to duty, to-night. The
boys consiJer it fun, and the town
was never livelier since the last cir
cus.”
No wonder they can get voliin
leers. Who would not,' under the
circumstances. If the young ladies
of Thomasville would supply “sand-
witches and coffee” by moonlight,
every male citizen in town would go
[out on picket duty.

South Georgia Fair.
! In response to on suggestion, made
j some days ago, Uat we make an effort
to revive our annual fairs in Thomas
county, we hajte the following com
munication fr^m Mr. Mtllette. The
idea is favorably received, and we have
no dcubt if sa^e of our public-spirited
citizens will undertake the perfecting
of an organization,*^ can be made a
suocess with very tittle .effort. No
county in the state hasmttetobe
gained by a properly conducted fair
association, with annual meetings in
December or January, than Thomas
county. At that season of the year we
have thousands of northern people here
as visitors, who are looking for invest
ments, end to whom our displays of
cereals, fruits and home productions of
every kind, would be a most interesting
exhibit. Let some one start the ball
in motion, by cilling a meeting to per
fect tho organization of a South Geor
gia Fair Association:
The suggestion in Saturday’s Times
that the people of Thon^as county and
Thomasville re-organiz3 its fair organ-
izxlion, I think a good and timely sug-
geition. I would think it best, how
ever to make its scope as wide as pos-
fikh. It would be a good ides to call
it The South Georgia Fair, and let all
this section taica stock in it. If possi
ble, too, the holding of tho fair should
be made as late as January.
While Thomasville and the neigh-
ring towns have prospered, it must
be admitted the agricultural interests
languished. While real estate
advanced in the towns, its move
ments are very Haggish in the country.
A fair would advertise our farming
resources and help to give au impetus
to our farming interests. By holding
it latrt, it can be made to do good and
ff stive service as an advertisement
rnoog our winter visitor?.

The bride is the eldest daughter
of 1 he late Dr. James W. Shropshire.
The bridegroom is a son of the late
Joseph T. Thomas, of Thomasville,
and grandson of the late Col. Geo.
W. Thomas, of Sumter county. For
some time the manly and intelligent
young farmer has had charge of his
rand-father’s large estate ol which
he is one of the principal heirs. He
has won a bride worthy of the very
best. Intelligent, beautiful and am-
able, she is the pride of a large cir
cle of the very best society. The
bridegroom has early in life made a
name in business and social circles
of which any man might well be
proud.
The marriage was at home in the
presence of a select number of kin
dred and intimate lriends. As they
gathered at the charming old home
stead in the lovely grove, everything,
to the bright evening sunshine,
seemed to smile on the auspicious
marriage. After a bountiful repast
the dining room, the happy couple
paired io the home of the bride-
jom where they received their
friends on Thursday.
In commendable taste, home was
honored in every detail of this happy
rriage. The holy union of two
.mg lives is too sacred for the pub
lic bridal tour. “There is no place
like home” to young hearts that love
and l)ope.—Camilla Clarion.

ide will receive the cordial good
wishes of the many friends of the

THE FIRST THROUGH l'ASSEN
—THOMASVIlLK's DELEG
THEIR RECEPTION AT 3
CELLO—THE DAW J
The dream of more than a quarter of
a century has been realized. Year
after year ha* rolled by since the agita
tion of the “mining link” was begun.
At last, the work Is done. The Times
has never doubted its ultimate building.
For long years wo have tried to f.how
that a line between Thomasville aud
Monticello was a necessity, and that,
sooner or later, it would ba built. And
it has been.
At a quarter to eight o’clock yester
day morning, Monday, October the
8th, and in the year of our Lord eighteen
hundred and eighty-eight, the first
regular passenger train over the Thom-
asvillo and Monticello railroad, pulled
out from the Savannah, Florida and
Western railway depot. On the clear,
crisp October morning air, the words
All aboard for Monticello” sounded
the knell of dirt road travel and inau
gurated a new regime. Joe Crovatt,
master of any engine and of bis profes-
with quick eye, and nerves of
steel, held his good right hand ou tho
throttle, While vVili Forester, codl and
All, pulled the bell cord, and away
t the traio. In the Superintendent’s
car were tho following railroad officials:
Assistant Superintendent Aveilhe, S.
T. Kiogsberry, Col. l’apy, II. W. Reid,
J. C. Reynolds, S. G. McLendon and
Wm. Campbell. Mr. Aveilhe was
accompanied by his stenographer, Mr.
Joseph Sheehan. Major McLean, tho
contractor who built the road, was of
the party also. The following is a roll
of the passengers on the !ii-ct through
train: Miss Belle Mitchell, Miss Urn
Palmer, Miss Julia Palmer, Mi s Tadm
Johnson, Misses Minnie and Jennie
Winn Dillon, Miss Clarabcllc Wright,
Miss Blanche Moore, MLs Essie Camp
bell, Miss Mattie Palmer, Mrs. S. L.
Moore, Mrs. Katie Whiifield, Mrs. T.
J. Wright, Messrs. Robert G. Mitchell,
T. C. Mitchell, Cap:. S. L. Moore, I)r.
J. B. Coyle, I).-. J. T. Culpepper, Dr.
Jeff White and Messrs. G. W. Parkhill,
M. II. Winter, J. W. Dillon, E-l. Rem
ington, II. Wise, John West, T m
Jclks, G. J. Forester, Master Anlrcw
Wright, Major Ousley, J. W. Dillon,
Jr., and the writer. It was u congenial
party.
The curve and divergence is mode
from the main line at the mile
post, and away wc sped. The capac-
rear platform of the superintend
ent’s car, and the comforts in its interior,
are favorite places. From tho rear
platform is seen, as the train swings
and sweeps around curves and rushes
through forest and field, a beautiful,
undulating country, stretching away tv
the South and East. Cotton fields,
of them jet white with the fi.tcy
staple, cine patches, in deep rich green,
and corn fields, with their brown shucks
covering great cars of com, are passed
in rapid succession. A short stop is
bade at Metcalfe. Hero, where only
a few weeks since silence reigned, where
slick of timber had boon cut, has
sprung into existence—as if by magic—
a lovely viiUse. Store hcu?c*, resi
dences, gin houses and warehouses are
dotted here and there, while great piles
of brick showed where the foundations
of the depot will soon be laid. There
ur of “git up and git” about
the little embryo town which challenged
both attention and admiration. A run
of a fraction over fourteen miles, cros:
ing an arm of Miccosukic lake en rouo
brings us to Monticello.
When the train palled up and wa
brought to a halt, quite a number of
the leading citizen? of the town—:n:!ud
number of ladies—were found
awaiting the arrival of the train which
was to inaugurate a new era, which was
to bind the two towns in yet closer
bonds of union.
Carriages and baggies were promptly
placed at the service of the cxcuraioa-
i*a. Same availed themselves of tbi»
courteay, while others took the • people’s
line” up town.

Simkia?, one #f tho live men of Month-
cello, fer a loijk a: the pretty little
city and its fcharming* environments,
behind one pi his spanking pair of
horses. It was not difficult to see signs
of new lif*'and improvement. It was
on evet^hand. Beautiful pear groves,
covered with dark green foiiage,the tree
oone like and symmetrical in shape, were
seen on every side of the town, and on
lands about the richness and fertility
of which there cjuld be no doubt. In
the town proper, on every hand, were
seen evidences of a new order of things.
New houses were going up, old ones
being repainted, and a general air of a
new-barn prosperity pervaded every
block and street. This evidence of
prosperity was not seen alone in the
improvements mentioned—i: was plain
ly seen ia the kindling eye, bouyant
and clastic step, and bright faces of
the business moo, and every one seen.
Monticello has been struck with a
bocm, and her people know it. She is
completing a splendid hotel, which will
be ready for guests by January, and
will Lave, besides, ample and first-class
accommodations for many outside of
the new and handsome hotel. And
then the town Is surrounded by one of
the richest sections in the south. Jef
ferson county’s soil would be a good
fertilizer for many sections of the coun
try called rich. They have been bot
tled up, but, at last, they have effected
their deliverance. Aud they put their
bands d.op down ia their pockets to do
it. Among those who have been prom-
t in*securing the new outlet, in
bringing about a new and brighter era
for Monticello than she has ever known,
we may mention, without being invidi
ous, the names of J. II. Perkins, J. T.
Budd, C. T. Ilarroll, J. C. Turner, V.
R. Fildcs, D. n. Bjyan, James Denham
and Thomas Clarke. And there • are
others, many of them, who have work
ed nobly for the happy result.
Monticello has a right to be proud
cf her work. Every onb is happy over
it. k uu could see it in the faces of Dick
'arkhin,Sam l’ulcston, Mr. Thaekston,
Jim Denham,Henry Perkins,Ed Bailoy,
he Turners and everybody cb:c. Speak-
ng of Dick Parkhill remiuds us that
luroisonlyone Dick Parkhill. He is a
good one. By the way, he has prom-
i to marry off' Guyte McLendon
Monticello. And he is just tho
man to succeed in anything he under
takes.
Tiic party was haniLocicly dined and
entertained at tho Madden house by a
committee of citizjns. And this re
minds us that Mrs. M. C. Oakley, who
in tho hotel, keeps a first-class house,
r friends, when visiting Monticello,
many will now do. can find no
better place than tho Madden to stop
And this is uo * ; puff ” for free
hash, as wo, like ail very wealthy coun
try editor?, pai 1 our bill just like com
mon people have to do—only wc didn’t
ave to pay ia advance, as those with-
ut baggage arc required to do.
Thomasville reaches out to the line,
ay, :• crop? i\ : nd warmly, heartily,

and lias her ‘L-i sped. This coun
