At the Virginia.
It is not an extravagant expression
to assert that the german given at
the Virginia last evening by the pro
prietress, Mrs. Katie Whitfield, in
honor of Miss Janie McDonald and
Miss Rosa Palmer, was one of the
most brilliant affairs of the kind ever
witnessed Thomasville. The ladies
and gentlemen were in full evening
dress, and one would have to travel
a longways to see a set of handsomer
couples. When you combine Geor
gia and Florida youth and beauty,
the chivalry and belles of the Empire
State, of the South, and the land of
flowrs, you make a bouquet ot beau
ty,andan array of Suther n manhood
not to be excelled anywhere.
The hallways, parlors, dining, re
ception and refreshment rooms, were
beautifully decorated. Open handed
hospitality reigoed on every hand
The refreshments, which were parta
ken of at pleasure, during the even
ing, were of the choicest kind, and
were arranged with elegant taste.
Mrs. Whitfield, as hostess, won the
hearts of all by her unaffected cour
tesies. The dining room was conver
ted into a ball room. The music wos
furnished by Kessler’s band, one of
d^e best bands in the state.
The dancing was kept up until
after one o’clock this morning.
Tender memories will long cluster
about the occasion. Ties were form
ed, perhaps, which will bind hearts
together through life.
The following couples participated:

New Year’s Eve.
One of the moot enjoyable, as well
elegant affairs, which marked New
Year’s eve, came off in the parlors of
the Piney Woods Monday. Fourteen
couples, fourteen ladies sod fourteen
gentlemen, took their places a little
before nine o’clock, and a gome of
Progressive Euchre was begun. The
affair was .gotten up sod managed by
Mrs. Boss, of 8l Paul, Mrs. Gilbert,
of Columbus, Ohio, Mrs. Moore, of
New York, and Mrs. Smith, of Provi
dence, R. I. To say that these ladies
had the management of the affair is to
nay it was a success. The cords used
were gotten up in elegant style and
were handsomely bronzed.
There wero seven handsome prizes,
consisting of silver novelties, fancy
articles, etc., swarded. They were pre
sented in Judge Wymtn’s happy style,
The following took (wises: Messrs. Bar-
niby, Storer, Peters and White, and
Mrs. Cooke, Mrs. Gilbert and Mrs.
Wyman. Those playing were:
Mesdtmes Smith, Davies, Jergtr,

The occasion was a very delightful
one throughout.
Hats Off to New Jersey.
Mr. J. J. Boyd, representing the

best known and most popular commer

sents one of tho most extensive and
reliable establishments in the East.
Wo hope Mr. Boyd and his house,
located as it is, in the plucky demo
cratic state of New Jersey, will meet
with a big trade away down South in
Dixie.
The writer will be placed in a very-
embarrassing position on the even
ing of the 10th of January, a circus
will be in full blast, the elephant
marching around, the keepers punch
ing up the animals, the lions roaring,
the acrobats performing, the down
convulsing the crowds, the young
man selling red lemonade, and at the
same hour a minstrel troupe per
forming in the opera house. It will
be extremely embarrassing. There
arc occasions in life, and this is one
of them, when man should be ubi
quitous.

tinuing, he said: “I have spent two

Obituary’,
Harry M. Clark departed this life
at Thomasville, Ga., on the morning of
the 14th inst. He was birn at Green
Bsy, Wisconsin, April 6,1862, remov
ed to Greenville, Michigan, in 1869,
and came to this city January. 1887,
where he resided to the date of his
death. Suddenly, without a moments
warning, as strikes tbe lightning, the
summons came, and peacefully and
sweetly as an infant, he fell asleep.
He possessed, in an unusual degree,
thoso qualities of head and heart that
distinguished the gentleman, and made
friends with everyone with whom he
came in social contact. He cherished
enmity against no one, and died os
be had lived, without an enemy.
He was gentle, amiable and lovable,
and will be sadly missed by Lis asso
ciates, but more especially by those
with whom his name bad but reoently
been enrolled.
When but just upon the threshold of
masonry, and almost before ho had
begun to appreciate tho significance of
the “hours,” “high twelve” Bounded,
and he was called, by the Supreme
Master, from labor to refreshment.
Unto the grave wo have assigned the
body of our deceased friend and brother,
earth to earth, dust to dust, and ashes
to ashes, there to remain until the
trump shall sound on the resurrection
morn. We can cheerfully leave him
in the hands of the Master, who has
done all things well; who is glorious
in holiness, fearful in prair-c.;, doing
wonders. So mote it be.”

The Vestibule train from New York

Slavery I* New Eastland. Qaeatioa of Taxation.

Mr. Charles Parsons, of Northampton,
Massachusetts, for his brutal treatment
of a laborer, wifi disappoint those who
are acquainted with the facts of the
case.
Mr. Parsons, it appears, hoe made it
his business to import foreign pauper
laborers, paying their expenses and five
dollars a head for them. When thi
hirelings wero delivered to him he
tamed them over to the hightest bidder,
nod in this manner he has managed to
moke $25,000 within the post few
yews.
The good people of Northampton
have for some time known that Mr.
Parsons treated these imported hirelings
badly, but they have been at a Iocs
how to prooeed. Their enterprising
fellow-citizen was a decorous church
member, and apparently a model man
in many respects. 8a his business was
allowed to proceed without interference.
Bat one day Mr. Parsons went too
r. He chained a Polish slave to a
seat io his wagon, and, being overtaken
by a storm, left the poor fellow to freeze
to death. Fortunately the victim was
ivcd in time, and then there was a
lively rumpus. The importer of white
slaves was indicted, tried and fined.
That be escaped with too light a sen
tence is the opinion of all deeent peo
ple, bnt this is not tho worst thing
about it. The point is that it is sim
ply infamous to allow this sydtem of
white slavery to flourish in New Eng
land. The great powers of Europe aro
using every endeavor to suppress the
slave trade in Africa, and America is
sympathy with them, but what about
the slave traffio carried on in the very
shadow of that famous cradle of liberty,
Faneuil hall?
It is time to start a crusado against
these Puritan dealers in human flesh.
We do not find it neoessary to chain
and maltreat our laborers in the south,
and there is no excuse for it in the
north. If the law is too weak to sup
press such brutality, an enlighteoed pub
lic opinion should make it impossible.—

Nouiclhlne New In Cotton.
Mr. C. A. Alexander, of Washing
ton oounty, Georgia, is ths discoverer
of a new variety of cotton, which the
Financial Chronicle thinks, may prove
to bs of great advantage to cotton
growers. The discovery was made
quite by accident, and in this respect,
least, it is not unlike numerous
great discoveries. Oao day, Mr. Alex
ander was inspecting a field of otton
his place, when bo noticed a single
stalk, the leaves of which possessed a
peculiarity, in that, instead of being
solid, as those of the well koowa va
rieties of the plant, they were divided
into wbat may bo termed partitions. ! ^ 3^
In their full growth they were five-
fingered. Mr. Alexander was sufficient-
ly impressed with the peculiarity to
save up and plait the seeds during
three or four seasons, aid now his ob
servation and experience have convioc
ei him that the variety possesses very
superior qualities, all owing to the un-
mual formation of the leaves.
Tbe advantages claimed for it are
that the leaves admit the air and tmn-
ligbt quite freely, thus giving the
plant a healthier and more rapid
growth, and causes the bolls to opeo
earlier, tbat the increased air and sun
light prevent mildew and rot-, and, what
will interest farmers of some sections
more than anything else, that the plant
thus far has not been attacked by cater
pillars The exemption may not con
tinue, but it is contended, and there
appears to be some ground for the
e'aim, that the citerpillar, can not thrive
when exposed t) sunlight and air. It
ii known that the caterpillar’s eggs are
deposited on tbe coder side of the cot
ton leaves, where they are afforded . fL

ternal revenue taxes and allow the
burden of taxation to rest on the nec
essaries of life. The World says:
“The main motive of those who ad
vocate the abolition of the internal
revenue on spirits and tobacco is to
so reduce the revenue as to prevent
any reduction of the abominable war
tariff.
“The tax on whiskey and tobacco
is one that every citizen can abolish
for himself by giving up the use ol
these articles. The tax on the fuel,
food, clothing and shelter of the peo
ple is one that no one can escape.
No Democrat can be true to the fun
damental meaning of that name or to
the principles and traditions of his
party who advocates the taxation of
necessities and the exemption ol lux
uries, vices and indulgencies. The
Democratic platform and candidate
in 1876 denounced the war tariff, but
neither of them had a word to say in
favor of throwing away revenue by
cutting off the remaining interna
taxes. The Democratic platform of
1884 favored the application of the
internal revenue to the payment of
pensions and other expenses of the
war. The Democratic platform of
1888 was a tax reduction through tar
iff reform. Nothing else is Democ
racy.”

The limestone and the blue-grass
together determine the agricultural
pre-eminence of the region, and account
tor the fine breeding of the horses, the
excellence of the cattle, the stature of
the men, and the beauty of the women;
but they have social and moral influ
ence also. It could not well be other
wise, considering the relation of the
physical conditioa to disposition and
character. Wc should bo surprised if
a rich agricultural region, healthful at
the tame, where there is abandonee of
food, and wholesome cooking is the
rule, did not affect tho tone of social
life. And I am almost prepared to go
further, and think that butc-grau is a
specific for physic xl beauty and a cer
tain graciousness of life. I have been
told that there is a natural relation
between IVc^ytcrianism and blu? grois,
and am pointed to tbe Hhenandoah and
to Kentucky as evidence of it. Per
haps Presbyterians naturally seek a
limestone country. But the relation, if
it exists, is too subtle and tbe facta arc
too few to build a theory on. Still, I
have no doubt there is a distinct variety
of wonjzo known ai the blue-grass girl.
A geologist told me that oooe when he
was footing it over 1I11 State with a
geologist from another 8utc, as they
approached tho blue-gran region from
the fouthward they were carefully
examining the rock formation and
studying tho surface indications, which
