Tbe Price Paid.
There has been a good deal of
natuial curiosity expressed about the
price at which Mr. Blackshear sold,
his place. The parties to the trans
action have not intended to deprive
the public of the information, but for
reasons, satisfactory to themselves,
they have thought it best that noth
ing be said about it until tbe deed
passed and the money was paid. This
was done a few days ago. Mr.
Fearn has deposited Mr. Masury’s
check for $19,000, drawn on the 7th
National Bank of New York, to Mr.
Blackshear’s credit in the Thomas
ville National Bank, which amount
added to $5,000 originally paid.makes
the price, $24,000. Twenty-
four thousand dollars is a good deal
of money, but when the location is
considered, its proximity to town, the
sweeping views from the crest of the
pear dotted sloping lands, the value
of the handsome residence and other
buildings, amounting to seven or
eight thousand dollars, the fact that
there are fifteen acres of LeConte
pears in full Leaving, yielding a hand
some income, and a great variety of
other fine fruits in fu)l,bcaring—when
these and other advantages are
taken into consideration, the price
does not appear to be a big one,
though it is, perhaps, the largest
single real estate transaction made
here since the war.
The transaction was made through
Mr. George Fearn, who thus scored
one of the biggest sales on record.
Real estate, in and immediately
around Thomasville, is valuable.
Just here we would say a word to
owers; good, {fair ?nd full prices
ought, and can be, realized, but there
is this danger; prices may be put on
property which will deter purchasers.
This mistake has been made in other
towns, and it may be made here.
We want to build ud our town and
county. To do this every encourage
ment should be given to permanent
or transient comers. Thomasville,
if the proper course i pursued here,
will have ten thousand population
in five years. Mark the prediction.
Underrated.
The Hotel Register, published in
New York, credits Thomasville with
only three hotels, the Mitchell, Piney
Woods and the Virginia. Under
the mark, gentlemen. We have, in
addition to those named, the Masury,
the Stuart, the Gulf, the hotel Brigh
ton, Pine Summit and Cambridge
Manor, besides a dozen or more of
large, first-class boarding houses,
many of them of hotel proportions
and capacity. Thomasville is a city
of hotels and boarding houses.

Clubbed.
It is not often that a policeman
gets clubbed—it is, generally, the
other fellow who gets whacked. And
it is still more rare for four to get club
bed at the same time. But this is what
occurred to the blue coated guardians
of Thomasville a day or two since.
And to make the occasion still more
unusual the clubbing was done by a
Northern man, a gentleman who has,
hitherto, conducted himself with per
fect propriety during several seasons
spent in Thomasville. No one, cer
tainly not the police force, had any
idea that the assault would be made.
And stranger still, the J force,
submitted without resenting. Major
Quigley, of the Mitchell, was the man
who clubbed four officers at the same
time. This is a feat not often per
formed. The officers were Messrs.
Spair, Coyle, Brown and Gordon.
The clubs are made of locust, hand
somely turned, and weigh about 16
ounces each.
The force appreciate the souvenirs
very highly, and will doubtless make
good use of them, should occasion
demand it. The Major has been
elected an honorary member of the
force, and will hold a commission
from Mayor Hopkins to quell riots
about the Mitchell House during
fhe coming season.
Closing the Year’s Work.
On yesterday, at the Methodist
church, the paster, Rev. Geo. G. N.
MacDonell, made a report of the year’s
work at this charge.
From it we gather that, at the begin

added by certificate and 24 by confes
sions of faith and otherwise, making a
total of 517.
Daring the year 7 have died, 32
have removed by certificate, and 40
have been stricken from the roll, a total
of 79, making the membership at pres
ent 438. Of this number 167 are
males and 271 females.

OrauRe Ulossoms In Clolliaui,
Married, in Brooklyn, N. Y., by
Rev. Father McMeal, John W.

Mary O’Kennes, of Brooklyn, PL Y.
The news of Mr. Masury’s
marriage was received with many
warm expressions for his hap
piness by numerous friends in Thom
asville. The first Southern breeze,
laden with the aroma of December
blooming flowers, carried to the
happy groom and his bride the cor
dial congratulations of the people of
Thomasville. They know Mr.
Masury and appreciate him. The
Times joins with other* in wishing
for him many long years of domestic
bliss and happiness.

By the 19th, upon the evening of
which one of the best comedy’s of the
season will be played at the opera

excursions be arranged from neighbor

oome in time to look aronnd the tAwn,
see the wonderful improvements made
and being made, see the bewildering
array of holiday goods—and buy _ if
they want to do so see our magnifi

If the business men will take hold of
the matter in the right way, it may be
accomplished. Tho management of
the opera house would no doubt co-op
erate actively with them.
It b reasonable to asEume that (he
railroad would make satbfactory rates.

and a pleasant one lor all who may
come to see what Tbotuasville and her
people are doing.
It Got Q«rc.
To show how certain one b to get
mail matter through Uncle Sam’s mail
bags, we may mention tho following
incident:
Some months ago, a friend sent Mrs.
Clara Qomiater, a newspaper from Lon
don, addressing it to Philadelphia, net
knowing Mrs. H.’s address. There
being no Mrs. Clara Hombter in Phila
delphia, the paper was sent to the New
York post offioe. And there, strange
to say, in that busy building, handling
millions of pieces of mail matter, letters
and papers, the paper was mailed to
Thomasville, and duly received by the
lady.
Q-ierj: How did they find out the
address?
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Bass, of St.
Paul, Minn., arrived last night, and
have taken their rooms at the Piney
Woods for the season. We do not
flatter this popular couple, when
saying that everybody, from proprie
tor down to the bell boys, at the
hotel, and every one else in Thomas
ville, are delighted to see them again.
Mr. and Mrs. Bass have been v com*
ing here for years. Thomasville has
no firmer, better friends. Time is
dealing very gently with both Mr.
and Mrs. Bass, and we trust they will
be among our winter visitors for
many seasons yet to come.
Now didn't the democracy of Thom
as county do the gallant thing in their
primary election last week? Jim Groo
ver was unanimously nominated for
re-elcctioD, as clerk of tho Superior
court. He riohly deserves ihe confi
dence bestowed and the honors heaped
upon him. And then Gus Hurst is to
be re-elected sheriff again. “Gus
Hurst b the host sheriff in the State,’’
said one of tho best men in Tbomasvillo
the other day. Who doubts it?—
Camilla Clarion.
Thomas county b proud of her
officer?. They are not excelled in the
state.
An old time Knickerbocker, of
New York, who is here for the winter,
speaking of candidates/or aldermen
this morning, said:
“I)o you know what is a prerequi
site for an alderman ?”
We blushingly confessed our ignor
ance on the subject.
‘It is,” continued the gentleman,
while a smile played about his mouth,
“forty inches around the waist.”
This would ru'e out some of our
aldermen. However, Col. Wright
would fill the bill.
Mr. Richard Kvanif? Jr., lnd Imsm,
Mr. J. H. Evans,of Minneapolis, Minn.,
are here for the season. They are
stopping with the Misses Barnes, 01
Dawson street, where Mbs Georgi
Evans, a daughter aod abler, has been
for some time. The Sunny South bids
them welcome.

selected to take oharge of the affair.”
In thb connection would i: not be a
gcod idea for Thomasville to celebrate,
in same way, the end of the epidemic in'
Florida. True, she has not been ex
posed to the fever, has not bad even an
imported case anywhere near here, bat,
at the same time, we have great cause
for thankfu!nt*s that our fair city has
Cf capcd a visitation of the plague. We
certainly ought to be very, very thank
ful, and thb gratitude should, it ap
pears to us, be given expression to, in
some formal way. What say our mu-
tioq-a! authorities and churches?
They Want Him to May.
The First Probjtcrian church baa
unanimously declined to accept tho
resignation of Rev. J. W. Rogan. Mr.
Rogan’s resignation, a9 already stated
in the Morning News, was read before
tho congregation last Sunday. A con
gregational meeting was held yesterday
after the morning service to aot
upon it. The meeting was a large one,
all the working and most active mem
bers being present.
H. F, Train was elected chairman
and II. W. Way acted as secretary.
After some debate as to whether th«
congregation could well accept the res
ignation, a ballot was taken resulting in
twenty-one votes for and 100 against
accepting it. The action of the meet
ing was then made unanimous. A ma
jority of those voting to accept the
resignation did so ou the g^und that
it was believed to be Mr. Kogan’s
wbh to leave Savannah.
Mr. Kogan was notified yeeterday
afternotn of the action of the congre
gation, and although lie has not given
a definite reply, it b pretty well under
stood that he will remain, lteforo tho
matter b finally decided, however, tho
resignation will be acted upon by the
presbytery which b in session this
week at Way cross.—Savannah News.

Among tho- prominent arrivals at
the Piney Woods, we notice Mr. and

the gentleman bears *3 striking re
semblance to the late Henry Ward
Beecher.
