Alien was ono of Gen. Leo's staff during tho Into war, and i» now princi pal of McDonogh Institute. Ho i, honored and esteemed, not only in biz own state, bnt wherever he is known. Ho ie a man of broad and liberal views, possesses a big heart, and his added largely to his list ol friende by his first visit to ThomasviUe. Wo are glad to know that ho hu been favcnbly imr pressed with oor eeotion and climate. He predicts a bright future for onr little city. We were in error in stating that Mr. J. S. Montgomery had been re moved trom the postal service. The department has notified him that the axe is being ground and that at an early day it is to do its work, but in the meantime John is requested to continue Iris duties as postal agent, The Finey Woods is no longer ilia- urinated by night nor alive with occu pants by day.

Sunday's Constitution reports the subscriptions for the Confederate Home as having reached $40,000, and confidently expects the $50,000 by next Saturday night- It thinks that the collection on Memorial day will very materially swell the subscrip tion list ThomasviUe has done well ia sub scriptions. She is tbe sixth ou the list, Atlanta being first, New York City second, thi?d, Colombo* fourth, Augusta fifth and TbomuviRe sixth, 'l'his speaks well for our city, and we are proud of her. The list is by no complete yet. While we have subscribed nearly $ jjoo, it m desired that we run the sum up to $1,000, andthe committee have de cided to keep tbe subscription open until next Saturday, fit which time it will be finally made up, the *fands forwarded to the treasurer aod the Grand Jtuy Presentments. To th* Honorable Supeeios Court ov Thoscas Cowin’: We, th. grand jzry, duly ehosen aad swore for the April term of Thomas Superior Court, 1889, respectfully sub mit following General Presentments: We have carefully examined the vouch ers, hooka and records of ths virions county officers, and find them in the main comet and neatly kept. Tha bookg of the various justices of the pmoe in the oounty we find are kept in aooordinoe with tho bw, with some ■fight exceptions, with reference to entering interest in their judgments on tbe docket. Wc find the court house ia good oondkioD, and which every citizen in the oounty should feel justly proud of. There have been several lelks in the roof, which, however, tbo janitor reports have been remedied, but in doing so, caused, as he informed us, several new ones, which we reoommend be fixed at once. The jail wo find ' netufi.fi ATu in ■22'ditiop, hut deem it unnecessary to make any gcsticos, as tho county commissioners contemplate erecting a new aod more modern one at as early a day as priori, cable. In the poor boose we find eleven iomales, two white and nine eolored,- who, According to their own statements, are well fed and properly cared for. The bnildiogs and grounds sre neatly and well kept, aod in good unitary condition as far as wo oonid The committee on public roads and bridge, report that there are 51 bridges in ths county, qveragiog 106 feet, aod that they sre with some few exceptions, in good condition. Tho fiat log bridge across tbe Ochlockotiee, and Big creek bridge, near .Watson’s mill, and two •cross the Aucilla creek, and Walden lagoon bridge, are io a bad and unsafe condition, the latter having the obutt- moots wuhed away by high waters. Wo recommend tbey bo put io good order at ss early a*day as practicable.’ Tho committee on punlio toads, with onr own diligent investigation, find a Dumber of the roads in a bad oonditton, * part of the road between the two bridges at Tired ereek, leading from Thomuville to Cairo, and also the roads io Oehlockonee district, seem to bo in bad order, tod in many places too narrow. We also find the Groom’s bridge road in very bad order in the river fiats. Tho Thomasvtile and Tal lahassee road needs working badly, es pecially near Duncanville. Tho road leading from Lcb to 'A. N. Nortons i: tho 18th district ia reported as being impssnble, also the ooo leading from Little Oehlockonee bridge to the coun ty lino road is reported to bo in very bad order. Wo recommend that the proper authorities have three publio highways put in good ind safe condi tion u soon is practicable. The financial condition of tho county, •a we uoderetand from a verbal report, from tho chairman of the board of tho County Commissioners, is io a healthy condition and everything possible being done to run the affairs of the county on an economical scale, so as to farther tho interests of tho people st forge. The educational interest of the county, wo are glad to report, according to verbal report from school commissioner K. T. McCIcan, is receiving das atten tion and more interest being taken ip that djrcftion than heretofore, there being oyer four thousand children in attendance upon the various schools throughout tho oouqty We do most heartily thank the board ot county commissioners lor the faithful discharge of their duty. His Honor, Judge W. D. Mitchell, Judge of the oounty ocurt, reports to this body thst ho has- received Dorn April 18s3 to Aprii 1889, $455.00 from sundry persons, which amount hu been pud over to tho oounty treasurer. Tho committee on elections report that they have thoroughly examined the registntioa books and efoetion tec-, ords and find bnt one person on tho list of voters not ngistuod who voted. W. recommend thst His Excellency, Governor John B. (Jordon, appoint th. following ngmed gentlemen as' County Commisrinns foe this oounty, (Thonua) aa follows: Thomasvilfo District—S. L. Hayes and A. P. Wright, Cain District—Jerry H. Parker. Boston District—M. B- Molfotte.' JJancaavilfo Kitriet—P. H.

We further recommend as there had been some complaint with regard to £2jastain Acquitted. Friday the case ‘ or* iV O&i"* John Ch&sUio, indicted for murder, was tried in the Superior Court. Con< ridcrablo time was required to obtain a jury, which consisted of the following gentlemen: E. C. West, G. B. Sin gletary, A. N. Bulloch, T. B. Bunting, H. R. Hunt, M. A. Wilson, Jno. Mc Kinnon, W. W. Poland, Wm. Bow man, W. T. Lacy, W. L Bulloch and W. N. Mitchell. Messrs. McIntyre & McIntyre and Capt. W. M. Ham mond represented tho aocused and So licitor General Rountree the state. Tbe State introddoed ita testimony first. Three witnesses were aworn in the fore noon, to wit: Joe Mardre (white) Si mon McKowan and Henry L'wi* (colored). In the afternoon the ttate put up Sheriff Hurst and Master Ar chie Davenport. At the conclusion of this evideuoe Col. Molntyre briefly ad dressed the jury oo the subjrct of the law governing evidence, and then Mr. J. W. Mallard waa introduced by the defeooe. The State next introduced Mr. J. J. Stephens, one of the jury of ioquest. recalled Mr. Joe Mardre, and closed with the testimony of Mr. A 8. Singletary, also one of thr*jury of In quest. The evidence was concluded about 4 p. m., when Hon. A. T. Mc Intyre, Jr., opened the argument. He was followed by Capt. Hammond, and be by Solicitor Rountree, who made the dosing speech, finishing a little be fore 9 o’clock. His Honor, Judge Hansell, delivered the charge to the jury, who retired to make up a verdict. They were out about twenty minutes and brought in the verdict, “not guilty.” The testinnny was the fullest that could be obtained, the arguments of counsel able and exhaustive, and 4he charge of the court clear aad lucid. The qiother of the accused remained by his side during the day,'and with that solicitude ieit only by.a mother for her offspring, watched every proceeding. To her, perhaps more than the boy, did the finding of the jury prove “glad tiding! of great joy. 1 ’ The killing occurred ia October, 1886, near the one mile post on the old Albany road. The man alayed was a colored mao, Cain Unton, and the ajayer, then a lad of some sixteen or seventeen yean of age, and a son of the late Rainey Chastain, whose cold blooded murder at . the hands of Berry Scoggins some years ago is still fresh in the memory of tour citizens. After tbe slaying, young Chastain lied and remained a fugi tive Tor some six months, when he was captured in South Carolina and brought back by Sheriff Hurst He was admitted to bail and baa since remained at home with his widowed mother. He has complied with the terms of bail gnd has finally been toed by tbe laws of the state and pronounced not guiiiy, by twelve good citizens. nous planning and laying out made it already ths admiration of all who have been so fortwite as to go over it Wo do not think thst Mr. Jones would entertain any proposition *“y souso » publio rewrt, but we think'thit'k&- . JoIle * woo'd be glad to cooperate with a out beat citizens, to stock it and arrange that it might bo used as a park under proper regulations. Ho has tbo place already enclosed by a substantial wire fence. And if a portion of tho wooda were enclosed with a • twelve-foot wire fence, aod deer plaoed therein, they would take oare of thenueives and in crease. We ore authorized to aay, from ooe of our most reliable end pub- Itc spirited citiz-ne, that he will nook the plies with deer if Mr. Jonso will go into it. If the plan meets the ap probation of Mr. Jones, our people wilt gladly co-operate with him, and make Glen Atven, indeed, a place of resort. Mr. N. S. Beebe. This gentleman and his wife left Saturday for their home in AtSoi, Mass. Mr. Beebe has just closed the fourth season as steward of the Finey Woods. During these years he has become acquainted with all classes ot our citizens, especially the business portion, and by all he is most highly esteemed. His position brings him into constant intercourse with the farmers, merchants and sellers of all articles for the table, and though ever exercising due considera tion for the interests ofhis house, his dealings arc at the same time uni formly fair and just to the seller. By this honorable course he has made friends alike for himself and his house. As a steward he is absolutely without a superior. Mr. Beebe has not deter mined upon a programme for the summer, but informs us that he ex pects to again fill his position with the Finey Woods next winter. This will be welcome news to bis Thomas vtile friends and to all former guests of the house who anticipate a return. New County Commissioners. The three new oounty waaiai^na era recommended and endorsed by tho grand jury, Messrs. 8. L. Hays*, J.M. Parker and P. H. Dickey, sre all well known, clear-headed men. They will no donbt look well and carefuUy to the best interests of tho oounty, as their predecessors have done. Together with the veteran chairman of the board, CoL A. P. Wright, tnd Dr. M. B. Mel lette, who has been on tho bosrd time, tho new members will giro aO necessary time aad attention to tha management of tho county's affairs. The retiring members, Mem. Bui loch, Ainsworth and Finn, hart served the county faithfully, and they carry with them io their retirement the coo- id core, esteem and thanks of th* peo ple of Thomta county for tho able and conscientious discharge of every dxty devolving upon theta duriag their of ofiiee.

We print elsewhere, to-day, extnoti from the Constitution referring to tha contemplated system of rail way, .link of which is the Atlanta & Florida, aad about which we hxva had a good deal to aay, aad to which wa hire fondly looked aa a measa to another ontfot for ThamsrriDe. The article is tha Cob- atitutiou ia qtrito lengthy, and goes into the matter in detail. It Moors K P. Howwq, L. J. Hill, W. B. Lowe, J. W. English, R. F. Maddox, aad P. Ia Myaatto wawt to Now York to see what could b* done in tho matter of the Atlanta * Florida railroad. Ttifj nintlnuon oonwlltfl railroad baiiding firms, and took such action aa would bo* pmsaoto another grand system of railroads in Georgia, combining oeveral aystoms and making a oootiams line from Chattanooga to deep water. Tha party ware accompa nied by Mr. Williun*, preside! t of the Chattanooga, Romo & CarroUtoa road, who put them ia coasmunioarioQ with Meen Solly, Begg A Dow, the capi talists who bafit th* road. They are strong men aad command, unlimited capital. Only last month they took a $3,000,000 loan of a Now England atato at a rate that nits them oafy’tfirea What their judg ment iadiotiea, they havtrt&AJ*^ -«> confirm. It is quite probobla that, those gen tlemen will be induced to tike hold of the A. & F., sad continue du road to 8avannah, Brunswick or Thomuville. If the proposition made by tho repre sentatives of the A. 4 F. is accepted, Messrs Solly, Bogg 4 Dow, through President Williamson, agree to build the read from Chattanooga to eith-r Savannah, Brunswick, or Port Royal, 8. C., through Atlanta, within twelve months, aad give it foil equipment aad terminal facilities in all the ciriea it touches. Hire is the scheme: They now have a read running from Chattanooga to Carrollton through Borne. They are now building tha road from Carrollton to Colombia. They propose to slut at Cedartown aid bnild direct to At lanta, a distsaoe of shoot fifty miles. From there they would take the Atlan ta and Florida road. Now thia brings us to a point in tho negotiations in which wo art vitally interested. When it is determined to seek the southern terminos,ThomasviUe should be prepared to offer snffieieot to bring .the read here. The traffic arrangements th* could ba mads with tha F. B. 4 N. system would ba a big inducement, and if Tkoousriifo win supplement th* ad- vantage by a liberal subscription, wo mm have another grand system or rail roads permeating every part of Florida and reaching out to the great weat and north. Now, aa to the aoads of ThomasviUe. There is no om bat will conoode th* ws ran* have another road. Aa now situated, Thomasvilfo has no advantages of yny way station on tha S., F. 4 W. railroad. Wt say this ia no captious or faulMIndihg disposition. It is bnt tho natural sequence of eircumstanecs. The &, F. 4 W. is ran in th* interest of its owners, just like tny other boii- nessis run. It pays th* rood to carry a long haul better than a abort one, consequently ail the advan tages are given Jadtsonvilla over Thorn. •svBle, and tboae who coma hare do hare conform to th* ragaktio** of tho sleep-. i*g car tines; «penting to grert disad vantage to us.

The gentlemen ietenstodia this direction will be board from before say trade is oiosed th* trill pat tha Atlanta aod Florida beyood their reach." Again the Constitution says: “It may bo accepted aa reasonably certain th* tho Atlanta and Florida road will bo extended to aotnrthiag thing*BkV|f;i’*.? , n y“f«'»e«. It will either find deep wate?M~fi«f IsSl^SL or it will be driven tots ThomasviUe, and there unlock the immense reaooroso of western Florida by direct tiae to Atlanta. Matters will move swiftly now, and the destioy of this road wiU be fixed io a few days.' Tho main tenor of the articlo from which these extracts ore taken, chow strong disposition to exteod the line to Savannah or Brunswick. Thomuvilfo ia deeply, vitally interested in thiaquot- tiro aod she should not longer oxnpj that passive position in these matters, which has been so fatal to other places pur-uiog the state policy, tnd whieh will, as sure aa night follows day, prove fatal to Thomasvilfo.
