II. COYLE, D. D. a,
Resident Dentist,
THOMASVILLE, GA., SATURDAY, MAY it, 1889,
A Visitor’* Card.
Farewell to tidy Thomssville, the
city of the pines and oak trees, the
LeCoute pear orchards and the gardens
of rosea, its healthy ne pins ultra arte
sian water, and to its courteous citizens,
and to the natlre mocking birds,
very respectfully yours,
. Resolutions of Thanks.
During the recent session of the
Methodist Conference, • held in this
dty, Dr. H. L. Watkins and Rev.
Geo. C Tbompcon introduced the
following raoli dons, which were
unanimously adopted by a rising
vote:
The thanks ol the conference are
tendered the officers of the Savannah,
Florida and Western Railway for the
courtesy of reduced rates ot fore to
onr members and delegates.
With kind and Christian apprecia
tion we speak ol the tender, by our
Presbyterian and Baptist brethren, of
Uteir pulpits to odr tninisteis.
We go to onr homes cherishing
grateful memories of the generons
hospitality ot the good people of the
city.
We ask the dty papers to publish
these resolutions.
iog the home horn whence the music
came I stopped to-hxes, and then a
pure sweet voice sang -Rock of Ages,
Cleft for Me, Let Me Hide Myself in
Thee.’ It is donbtfol if the linger
attached any meaning to the words,
hot tome they came with awful force,
and aroused a flood of memories that
filled my eyes with tears."
“It was my mother’s favorite hymn,
and many and many a umrthe tang
it for me in the holy stillness of the
Sabbath evening, and then I knelt
by her side, and with her gentle hand
upon my boyish bead she told me
the old, old story of Christ and Him
crucified. I broke that mother's
heart, as thousands of boys are doing
erery day, I spurned'ail precepts of
good, living only for the present and
its so-called pleasures. I thought it
unmanly to take a mother’s advice
or listen to a mother’s prayers, and
to-day thousands of young men think
just as I did then, and act upon their
belief. I scofled at the Bible and its
sublime teachings, loved ||p saloon
better than the church, and what is
the result! Here I am an old white-
haired tramp, despised by erery one
and despising myself Broken down
in health, without a dollar and with
out a friend. Some day I shall die
like a dog and fill a pauper's grave,
and thousands of young men are fol
lowing closely in rav steps. They do,
not tee the breakers just before
them, tbe moral and physical death
that it sure to be their portion, nor
do they see the laughing mocking
devils that hover always near.
‘■Ah, when the awakening comes,
and they look back upon tip check
ered pathway of their wasted years,
it may be all too late, for the “prim
rose path of dallience’ leads to the
black gulf of despair."
“Bat how about the sermon you
feit like preadungt” inquired the
Times-Union man.
“I’ve just delivered it,” said the
old tramp, and with a bitter laugh he
vanished in the surrounding dark
ness.—Times-Union.

A Serious Cutting Scrape.
On Saturday evening late, quite a
serious difficulty took place at Met
calfe, in this county. It teems that
Mr. A. S. White, a carpenter, had
been doing some work for Dr. W. A.
Monroe, and that while he had
been paid for the work, he had not
finished up some minor detail, but
had promised to do it. Last week
he had done another piece of work,
and on demanding pay for it, was
met with the statement that when he
completed the work lor which he had
been paid, he would get pay for the
last work. This brought on angry
words, and finally Mr. White struck
Dr. Monroe in the mouth, with his
fist. Dr. Monroe drew his knife and
cut White in the abdomen, and on
the left arm. The cut in the arm
severed the muscles about hall through
the arm, and one cut, in the abdo
men, penetrated the cavity and an
other entered the cavity over" the
left lobe ot-tbe lung, about middle.
WIV of his breast. .The cuts were
quite serious, and it was thought
Sunday night he would not recover,
but Dr. Taylor says that the chances
for him now are better, while it is a
serious case.
“Mr. Wbito was put on the Monti-
•ello train, whioh happened to be at
Metcalfe, and brought here, where Mr.
White lives, (with Mr. J. 8. Mont
gomery) and Doctor Taylor assisted by
Drs. Bruno and Culpepper, attended to
his wonndi. Tho difficulty is vary
much to be regretted, and m hops
the wounded man may recover. Dr.
Monroe claims to bo justified, and will
remain and undergo an investigation.

Thomas County.
Epixob Alliance Advocate:—So
many interesting communications in
your lost paper prompts me to write
and commune with the brethren.
Our rab-AUiances in Thomas are
taking prompt and decided action in
support of the bagging committee.
I believe they will buy tbe cotton
bagging regardless ot cost. Of course
we want it as cheap as we can get it,
bnt then we regard this fight as one
of principle more than dollars aod
cents.
There seems to be a growieg dis
position in Georgia amongst the
members to pass resolutions. Now,
Mr. Editor, a good resolution is a
good thing, but practical work is far
better. I noticed in a recent issue
of your paper a set of resolutions
unanimously endorsed by a large
gathering of the brethren to . which
the writer can fully subscribe. They
agreed, first, to abandon the habit
farmers have of loafing about town
on Saturday afternoons. This is
commendable. Next, they condemn
ed the use of ardent spirits. That
was better; and, lastly, they refused
the male and female members the
privilege of sitting on the same
benches in open alliance meetings.
Now this latter resolution gels
away with me. It is straining at a
gnat It sound, like the old “blue
laws” of Connecticut and the rigid
Puritanism of colonial times, more
than the chivalrtc sentiments of the
modern Georgia former. It smacks
of an ancient, obsolete, puritanical
sentiment of decorum which the writer
never could endorse. Give us the
women in close communioo. Take
away the town jokes and the whiskey
and guano, and tie us down to hard,
steady, systematic work and econ
omy, but give ns tbe ever blessed
women.
LeCoote Fear Alliance hardly ever
passes any resolutions, but it will
give $60 in premiums on special
crops. It has paid up its subscrip
tion to the exchange and will endorse
by substantial action the bagging
committee. We bardly ever pass
resolutions, but when it comes to
business we manage to “get there

The committee' appointed to secure
the manufacture of cotton bagging,
upon invitation, met in eonlerenee ths
Southern Cotton Manufacturers’ Asso
ciation, at Augrssta, to dfteirmiiwr the
means foe obtaining a sufficient
amount of cotton lagging to asst the
necessities of tbo coming crop.
ltd* our pleasure to say to ths fam:
an of the atete dut the Manufacturers’
Association extended to ns every possi
ble oiurtcay, and a full expnsmno of
sympathy in onr efforts to cany out
the reoent action of the 8tate Alliance
in adopting eotton bagging a* the eov-
erinc for 00U00.
Ws have arranged with manufactur
ers to supply the fsrmen of thil State
with cotton bagging, to b* guaranteed
not ha than thirty-seven inches wide,
and to avenge twelve ounces to the
yard f. 0. b. at the mills st twain and
one-half cents per yard-. The members
of the Manufacturer*’ Association agree
to take ootton ao oovered at 10e. addi
tional par one hundred pounds to rover
toes of weight in light ooveriug.
To meet the conditions neoesssty to
begin tho manufacture, wo have eo*-
(rooted with the mills for two minim
yards of ootton bogging. Thin contract
will not be completed until U in ratified
by orders from the aUfoaoen of the Mate,
covering tho amount for which wn have
contracted.
All orders will bn promptly filled by
the mills when accompanied by saeh
negotiable paper aa will be accepted by
the mills. Manufacturers will not fur
nish bagging unless they ire folly sat
isfied as to the responsibility of ths par
ties ordering. This may bs established
by giving negotiable notes, suitable
bank reference, or ordering through
some party who is easily known to hava
satisfactory commercial standing. No
arrangements for the mannfantnro of
cotton bagging will bn boguftiUil the
Alliances ratify onr wntnnta by planing
orders with tho mills covering the
amount for whioh wn hove contracted.
It will bs necessary, therefore, for each
sub-allianeo to order the amount they
may need, under tbe terms axpnased
above, 10 that the manufacture —-J
begin without delay. Otherwise tho
mills will bs crowded, and the lato or
ders will not be filled.
Mills will begin ths delivery of bog
ging about tho first of August, in such
sections as it may be needed, ths bag
ging to bs pud for as it is delivered.
Ail orders for bagging should he- ad
dressed to 8. Odenheimcr, Lane Mh,
New Orleans, Lx, or L. Liniir, Went
Point, Gs. '
Mills will not begin the manufacture
until orders are in hand, stating the
amount of bagging that will be needed
by each Alliance, and the date of de
livery. We, therefore, urge every
alliance to make Immediate arrange
ments, as determined by the Mannfac
