aliahassee merchants desire
the trade of the country in the terri
tory legitimately theirs, they had bet
ter be taking some interest in having
the roads leading to Tallahassee kept
in good order. We are informed
that the Miccosukie road is almost
mpassable, and that the Centrevdlc
road is in but little, it any, better
condition. Bad roads will keep trade
from coming to a town—good roads
1! bring trade to a town from be
yond its legitimate territory. Bad
roads are a serious drawback to any
country—good roads are a blessing.
Immigrants will pass by a country
hampered with bad roads. Good
roads are an advertisement for a
country—they arc an important fac-
r in the advancement and develop
ed of any section- -they invite
immigration and induce investment
of capital. With our clay subsoil we

bad roads we suffer, with good roads

This reminds us that much com-
lamt has been made about the con
dition of the roads in Thomas coun
it is important that they be put

the direction of territory which
debatable, i. e., in territory where
the trade hangs in the balance. In
this connection we again call the at

sioners to the order of County Com

Duty Faithfully Performed.
During the long, trying days of
juarantice, Thimasviile hss had three
faithful guaiduc», to whom the town
gely, its protection. They are
Mes.-rr. Hopkins, Bottoms end Elder.
Others have been on tbe force and per
formed their duty weli, la*, these three
constituted ihe Old Guard, and like
Napoleon’s “Oid Guard.” they never
surrendered. The ether fellow always
had to do that. They have been faithful,
vicilint sentinels. Not a suspect has
been permitted to enter the town from
any infected point.
A Fatal Mistake.
At the conclusion of the consolida
tion Saturday .Sheriff Hurst invited the
crowd into tbe ordinary's office where
he proposed to set up the champagne
and the cigars- He . had inyested
$14 in a gallon of extra fine cham
pagne. Glasses were handed around,
and held ready for the sparkling wine,
mouths fairly wateied (the crowd was
mighty dry) but when the cork was
removed, a sickening aroma filled
the room. It was a beastly smell.
A few eggs, of last Springs laying,
broken in the room, would have re
lieved the situation. With a sickly,
O-Lordy-whats-the-matter look, the
crowd emerged from the crowded
room into the open air, hplding their
respective noses. To say that Gus
Hurst was downed for once, but
faintly expresses the situation. The
last seen of the Sheriff he had Sandy
Prevatt, from whom he bought the
so called champagne, cornered, and
both were talking at once.
A negro boy was bribed by Aider-
man Prevail to take the bottle and
contents off and bury them. Judge
Merrill will have his office fumigated.
He will probably bring an action
against the Sheriff, or Mr. Prevatt, or
possibly both.
Judge Bower.
The Bainbridge Democrat pays
Judge Bower a handsome tribute.
Speaking of his re-election, it says:
“The Legislature of Georgia did
ot only a wise, but a graceful t4»ng.
hen it re-elected Byron B. Bower
Judge of the Albany Circuit. That
he had no opposition was proof of
how well and ably he had sustained
himself in bis high office.. Early in
the canvass the little opposition he
did have dissipated like the dew be
fore the rising sun.
What commends Judge Bower to
the people is, his splendid judicial
ability; the rapidity with which he
despatches business; his kind and
gentlemanly bearing toward bar, jurv,
esses, litigants and people; and
above all his high and incorruptible
character, “Offence’s gilded hand”
.ill never “shove by justice,” nor
the wicked prize itself buy out the
law,” while he holds the scales. The
people of the Circuit know, and ap
preciate these traits of Judge Bow-
character, and they are satisfied.
Long may he live to enjoy the
well-deserved confidence ot the State
and people.”
Judge Bower has many friends in
Thomasviile who cordially congratu
late him upon liis unanimous re-elec
tion to the high office which he has
filled so acceptably to the people of
his circuit, and with such distinguish
ed ability.

Missionary Anniversary.
A very large audience assembled last
evening ia The Methodist church to
witness the exercise of the Sunday
School Missionary Anniversary. After
the opening exercise?, Mr. C. H. Wil
liams, representing the treasurer of the
school, read a financial report showing
tbat 8262.14 had been contributed by
the school for Missions during the year.
Of this turn 854 was contributed for
the present occasion. The banner class
of the school, i. e., the one giving the
largest amount of money, was Mrs.
MacDooeli’s, wh) gave 825.38.
By a vote of the school 850 of the
fund raised during the year was to be
sent to the school at Durango, Mexico,
under the charge of Rev. R. W. Mac-
Donell.
An interesting feature of the exer
cises was a Scriptural Exercise by the
school, on the subject of giving. The
question* asked by the Pastor were
answered promptly by each class in the
language of soripture.
Master Tommy Coyle made an appeal
for the baby children of heathendom,
which was responded to by Master
Thornton Carr 11. Misses Daisy Scott,
Mattie Evans, M .rion Hayes, Carrie
WillLms and DaUie Mitchell rendered
very fi :dy a piece tailed “Have you
heoid of Jojus?” Master Frank Ains
worth spoke “The Light-House and its
Keeper” with much animation and
pathos. Mic3 Alice Smith read a letter
from a missionary ia China, giving an
account of some of their queer cus
toms.
“A Missionary Colloquy” wa3 pre-
sentid by live- young ladies representing
different nationalities. Miss Carrie
CfcishMm, Mexico; Miss Dona Mitchell,
India; Julia Evans. South Amer
ica; Miss Hattie Vaughn, China; and
Mr 3 Clifford Burr, the United States.
Tho first favor presenting the moral
C'ndi iuO of their people and pleading
with the United States to send them the
gospel, to ’.vhi:h Miss Burr responded,
promising to give ibera the Bible. The
young ladies had each a flag of the
country repr^fcnLcd, and the whole
f-icco was very beautifully rendered.
Master George MacDoncR made an
ddre-s containing an argument and a
plea for Foreign Missions. He speke
aod fluently, and nith happy
tffc-jt.
The singing by tho school was very
e and inspiring and the exercises will
doubtless awaken new interest in this

At the Piney Wood**.
During a brief call at this popular
hotel this morning we caught the
fullowing items on the fly :
Mr. F. A. Budlong, who was Mrs.
Bower’s room clerk at the old Mitch
ell, will arrive in a day or two to fill
the same position this season in the
Piney Woods.
Mr. A. E. Holcombe, will again, as
he did last season, occupy the posi
tion of front clerk.
Mr. Sperry, of Boston, will mix the
bibulous compounds in the bar. He
is busy putting it in shape.
A hilf dozen milk stools, the latest
tldng in parlor furniture, have been
added to the handsome parlor outfit.
They are quite nobby.

Mrs. Bower is simply ubiquitous.
She is every where. And she carries
a big ray of sunshine wherever she
goes. One is made to feel “at home’
when they meet her, whether in of
fice, hall-way, kitchen, pantry or par

The PaMt and PrmDf.
Mr. T. C. Mitchell has Dtcly come
in possession of an old book, which for
him, at least, has an interesting history.
On the fly loaf is the following:
Presented to Thomas Mitchell by his
teacher, R. W. G. Hodgson, 1847.”
Forty-one years. That’s a long time.
Mr. Louis Jergcr found the souvenir
of the “long aso” among the late CoL
Remington’s old books, and returned it
to Mr. Mitchell. The Utter gentleman
prizes it very highly, as it is a liok bind
ing him to bis boyhood days. He re
members reading the book at the time,
and, again, last night, went over the
pages which had such a fascination for
his boybb imagination. We may
mention, also, a faot which is not gen
erally kcown k perhaps. The inscrip
tion to “Thomas Mitchell” was carrect
then. Mr. Mitchell, has since added
the C. to his name.

announce that CapL Sneffing will

The night was gloomy, not a ray
from heaven’s starry lamps illumined the
illimitable expanse of heaven's dome,
and earth crouched at the foot stool of
1, as if portentous events were of
the moment. None the less gay and
happy were the lasses and lads, chape
roned by science linked with sympa
thetic matronly kindness, that rode
through the gloom of the night and
with jest and gibe and merry prsttle
made ring the still plaocs of qniet
streets, leaving as the town in its con
templative home-gathered mood of rest
ful evening, they invaded the winter-
stilled haunts of natnre, and woke op
the echoes of the pine tree sentinelled
foresfl. We rode in state, and having
an eye to the fitness of things in hump
ing, jolting, jostling, springless wagons,
thereby preparing the pampered appe
tite of the “(skittish kittens” lor the
o’er sweet sweets of cane and candy and
skimmings. By the advice of science, j
and the skill of sense, we rode upon
balsamio cushions of pine straw, uphol
stered by superfluous portions of stray
ing skirts, and 60 to speak, battoned
together by ownerless feet, that seemed
to have strayed away and were lost to
use, if full of the pain of pleasure.
Tbe foot, in its place, is a thing of use,
always of beauty; but the mis
placed foot, like a misplaced switch,
leads to embarassing positions, and
seems at least a furlong of entangle
ments, and articulations—vide thoi'o
who have supported one hundred and
fifty pounds on the points of their toes
for milei of rough riding; and likewise
those who havo unflinchingly sat upon
the many angled terminals of male
owners; it goes without saying that the
dear little patterers, plump aud bepink-
cd, that wc read of in Paul & Virginia,
and only see in tableaux, or ia our
!—we bachelors, never intrude,—
having gone to snug barbors, cushion
ing, and being encushioncd. Our pine
perfumed way led this merry party of
sixteen to the cane and cotton farm of
Mr. H. B. Ainsworth; and there we
weie welcomed by tho proprietor and
his wife, who were also doing tho hon
ors to a young party who rode forth
behind his prancing horses, and in bis
comfortable coaches ia well bred sobri
ety ; for how could they be gay and
rollicking, unless they had been bump
ed and bounced and eat upon ai we
had. Tho darkness of the night en
hanced the weirdness of the scene : a
fire of pine knots burned merrily with
long licking tongues of flame at the
foot of the white pile of bagasse, while
flitting through the shadows, from the
mill to the evaporator, were dusky
figures, and around tho evaporator were
working ladlcrs of ebon hue, skimming
the boiling juice, their figures standing
out in the bright light of the torches,
while their heads were half seen, half
hidden in vapors that hung like a snow
cloud from the low rafters of the sugar
house. Cane was cut, and peeled by
the lads and oh ! how it was eaten, or
rathir daintily toyed with by glistening
white grinders and incisors that ever
and anon could be seen between the
pomegranate bued lip?, much sweeter
than the juice of the cane, and oh ! how
much richer ia flivor and bouquet.
Then of course long strijs of cane pool
were used to sample the Ainsworth
syrup, and the critics of sweets, the
lasats, said “oh! how good," and the
lads said, if properly “braced,” the
“long sweetning” might be very enjoy
able. -After it fre-hineotn, the “ekit-
tiakr'lihtens” giab dtd to their hearts
content upon tb. sveet pile of bagasse,
while the “crabb'd cats” looked on with
dignified approval, only thinking how
sweetly sweet would be the pretty purr-
era after the baeassa embrace. Good
night, and thanks to onr courteous host
and hostess, and homeward we sang our
pleasant way, “in the gloaming, oh my
darling,” ahem, too many darlings and
no*, enough gloaming, let’s have a jollier
song. We are “home again.”

‘•.Margery Dean 'OllIrally III.
Boston, Nov. 29 (Special.)—Mrs.
T. P. Pittman, better known a«
“Margery Dean,” a well known
author and newspaper correspondent
is critically ill in Paris. Her hus
band and her mother started for
Paris this week.
“Margery Dean” will be remem
bered by many of our readers. She
spent some time here a few years
since. Her Southern friends hope
to hear of her restoration to husband,
home and health.
Mr. Joseph Torre arrived a
days ago and is rusticating at J
Farm until the Mitchell opens,
omes to again fill the position of
leward tn that popular hotel, hav-
ng filled it the first season. He is
a clever gentleman and an efficient
steward, and his many Thomasviflc
friends are pleased to see him with
ihe Mitchell again. Mr. Torre has
been away two years, and though he
never lost sight of Thomasviile, he
was not prepared for the evidences
of prosperty and improvement that
mark every portion 01 the place. He
pronounces the progress of the city
as wonderful.
Mayor II. IV. Ilopkln*.
As will be seen by announcement
elsewhere. Mayor Hopkins is an
nounced as a candidate for re-elec
tion to the office ol Mayor, at the
ensuing election in January. Mayor
Hopkins adrainstration ot the office
has been a faithful, and successful
one. The town has, under his wise
and progressive administration,
grown as it has never grown before.
Public spirited, conservative, able and
far seeing, he has watched with con
stant and jealous care every interest’of
the town. No mayor has ever given
more ot his time and attention to the
public weal of the town. We are
getting out of our swaddling clothes
as a small town and fast merging*
into a city. This growth brings new
responsibilities and involves a grea
ter need of first-class executive abili
ty. It is not saying too much to as
sert that no citizen of the place is
better qualified and equipped for the
esponsibilities and important duties
devolving upon the chief executive
officer of Thomasviile, than H. W.
Hopkins.

There has been an impression that
the pine straw industry is a new one,
and that the factory for manutactur-
ing pine straw goods at Cronl>\ N.
C., is the only one of the kind in the
orld.
A correspondent, inSarcoxie, Mo.,
writes to the Evening Post, of New
York, with respect to pine straw, as
follows: “The leaves of the pine
have been used and are used in Ger
many as material for the preparation
textile fiber, and factories of that
kilid existed there before 1878. The
industry is, therefore, a new one only
in this country, and the factory at
Cronly, N. C., not the only one of its
kind m the world. The material is
called, in Germany^ “waldwolle”
(forest wool), also pincwool. It is
worked into different fabrics; with
wool, it is woven into a hygienic flan
nel which is used to some extent, as
the aromatic pine odor that adheres
is supposed to be beneficial, in
rheumatic affections especially. As
by-product in the manufacturing of
textile material, the pine leaf extract
and the pine-leaf oil are obtained,
both used for medicinal purposes.”
It would be interesting to know
whether or not the manufacturers at
Ci only obtained from Germany the
idea that pine straw could be utilized
profitably. Whether they did or not
probable that the manufacturing
of pine straw goods will eventually
become an important industry in this
county.—News.
’c again call the attention of our
local capitalists to this subject. It is
1 important one.

Some little excitement was created
on Broad st. Tuesday evening, by the
arrest of Mr. W. H. Lnssetcr. It
seems that Mr. Lasseteris wanted in
Decatur county on a warrant tharg
him with a misdemeanor. The
sheriff of that county notified sheriff
Hurst to kcej) an eye on him, but
to arrest him, thinking that pos
sibly the case would be settled.
Hurst did as directed, and to-day
deputy sheriff A. C. Parnell at
the tram and they came up town to
arrest Lasse ter, who was at work on
the R. Thomas drug store. Under
the excitement of the moment Lasse-
ter ran to evade arrest, and sheriff
Parnell pulled his pistol down on him
and commanded him 10 stop, or he
odd fire. It was a critical moment,
s several gentlemen were in point
plank range and it was a fortunate
thing that J.asselcr did stop. He was
taken over to Bainbridge on the
evening train.

charming and estimable ladies, are

due somewhat to the endorsements 01
the place by Rev. T. E. Tiller, the
late beloved pastor of the Baptist
church here. The ladies expect to
spend the season here, and we trust
they will find their stay pleasant and
that their favorable opinions of dim
