Mrs. Hawkins, of Marianna, Fla.,
arrived yesterday and is visiting her
daughter, Mrs. John Coyle.
Mr. Lave Comfort, who has been
acting baggage master at the depot
for several days, has returned home.
“That Frenchman,” Archibald
Clavering Gunter’s latest novel, is at
Reid & Culpepper’s. Sixty thousand
volumes have Already been printed.
The twenty-first of this month will
be the longest day in the year. And,
consequently, the night of the 21st
will be the shortest night in 1889.
Col. Wright, chairman of Board of
Trustees of South Georgia College,
gives notice that the regular annual
meeting of the Board will he held
next Tuesday, June 18th.
Mr. Jack Wright, who ha#* been
with Thompson’s Planing Mills, has
taken a place with the Thomasville
Variety Works. Jack is one of the
finest mechanics in the state.
Mr. George Fearn keeps real estate
moving. His latest sale is a tract of
land, two mi es from town, fronting
the Magno’ia road to Mr. Rhett Prin-
Mr. Pringle a’ready owned some
land in the same vicinity.
A town cannot stand still*, it must go
forward or backward. Thomasville
people should bear this in mind,
lown, in this age of progress, which
does not encourage or foster publi
improvements must, inevitably, go to
the rear.
Our home merchants are charging
the pear shippers twenty-five cc;it» for
empty barrels this season, when they
were sold last season for six cents,
consequently the growers arc ordering
from Savannah, as they can get them
laid down here for ten cents each.
Messrs. T. J. Ball & Bro. shipped
last week a bill of groceries to Ridge
field, Conn. This shipment to a dis
tant state was a high compliment to
one of our most enterprising firms,
and shows that Thomasville mer
chants can hold their own against any
market.
The Confederate veterans will meet
in Thomasville. Ga., on the 41b of Ju
ly. Gov. Gordon, of Georgia, and
ex Governor Perrv, of Florida, will be
there.—Monticello Tribune.
We presume the Tribune has refer*
to ihe meeting of the Confederate
veterans at Bainbridge, July 4th. There
ill be no such meeting in Thomas-
ille.
The Bainbridge meeting, however,
promises to be largely attended by the
that wore the grey.
partments. A rept rter
through the establishment
and the resuji^ptr-biv^ , ot»ervati*
was that these gentlemen are prepared
to supply contractors and builders
with everything necessary to finish a
building. They have a superb supply
of mouldings on hand, dry and well
seasoned and rian make any pattern
desired.
Messrs. Snodgrass & Smith furnish
ed the ceiling and inside finishings of
the new St. Thomas church and it is
as fine a iot of etuff as was ever put
into a Thomasville building. Both
of these gentlemen are thorough lu
lier men, and supplied as they are
with the most approved machinery
they can fill any order. They make
a specialty of seasoned material,
w hich is a very important item with
builders.
Tax Returns.
Tax Receiver McCann requests us
to say to all interested parties that
taxes should be given in at once. The
books will close the last of June, and
a great many have, so far, failed to
make returns. He will be in Thcm-
asville every Thursday, Friday and
Saturday during June, at the clerk’s
office in the court house, and will be
glad to save all parties trouble and
expense by having ihetn call on him
before the books close.
Thomasville’s Interest.
Thomasville should not be a disinter
ested spectator of ihe efforts being
made by other towns to secure addi
tional railroad faci itics. They are
weaving a web and network of roads
around her which bodes no good to
the growth and prosperity of the tow n.
We cannot afford 'o remain inactive
much longer. However, it is under
stood that a move will be made at an
eariy day which will put the place on
a solid footing. The mailer is in tin-
hands of careful, cool, sagacious men,
men who understand the situation and
who have the nerve and capital 10
grapple with the emergency. One
thing is certain: the emergency is
right upon us. A cursory glance of
the situation and a brief study of the
map of south Georgia and Florida
will convince the most skeptical of
this assertion.

Melon Rates.
The agents at all the stations on the
S., F. & \V. Ry. have received cards
giving the melon rates to all points
north and west.
To points south of the Ohio river
the reduction has been something like
18 per cent., but to points west of the
Ohio river the rates of last year have
not been reduced. The increased ton
nage allowance to eastern points
amounts to something like a 20 per
cent 'reduction on the freight
rates.
An Aeolian Organ.
Mr. Joseph Jerger has an .xolian
organ which is a curiosity.
It can be used as an ordinary key
instrument, and in addition it has an
attachment that does away with the
necessity of the manipulation of the
keys by the player.
The organ is a beauty and the mu-
ic played comprises selections from
the most renowned composers.
From Cuthbert to Bainbridge.
Cutiihrut, Ga., June 7.—An im
portaut and enthusiastic railroad
meeting was held here to-day.
Speeches were made bv Messrs. J. E.
Donaldson and B. B. Bower, of Bain
bridge, explaining the plans by which
they pj*oj>ose to build a road in the
near future between Bainbridge and
Cuthbert. They ask a stock subscrip
tion of £50,00*0, which will be sub
scribed at once. The money is to be
] laid when the road is completed to
< Juthbcrt. There is great hope among
our people that it will be built before
the year is gone.
While Thomasville congratulates
her neighbor, Bainbridge, on the
prospect of another line of road, she
should, at the same time, lx? looking
out for herself. Will she do it?
Trustees’ Meeting.
Owing to the progress of the exam
inatiop® exercises of South Georgia
College* the regalar monthly meeting
of the Board ol Trustees has been
postponed until Tuesday, June 18th.
It is desirable that a full meeting
of the Board be had.

The Tribune of Rome gets off this

The free advertisement that a new
paper gives a town iu a year is worth
thousands of dollars to it, and its gen
eral value to any locality can not be
over-estimated.
And yet, many citizens who are
abundantly able, will not even sub
scribe for the paper which is laboring
unceasingly to increase the value of
their property.
Ice Cream Parlor. •
Mr. L. Schmidt, at his new estab
lishment on Jackson street, formerly
occupied by Mrs. Jennie Carroll, has
fitted up an elegant ice cream saloon
Parties will be served with any kind of
ice cream, ices, soda water, mineral
waters, frui-miz, (a delicious Mexican
drink) all made at his establishment,

seconded in his efforts to please the
public by Mr. Jas. Holloway, who will
take pleasure in waiting on all
call.
Aik Armory.
jie Augusta Chronicle is evidenriy
nest about an armory for the vol
unteer soldiery of that city. It says,
late issue:
Give the soldiers of Augusta an
armory, or better still, help them to
build it themselves. A grand bazaar
or military fair in the fall would aid
materially in raising this fund.
But we believe there is enough
money tnd enthusiam in Augusta to
give this enterprise a start at an
earlier day. Think for a moment
what an ornament an armory would
be to Broad street. A large three or
four-story building, with spacious
stores and offices on the first and sec
ond floors, with drill halls, company
meeting rooms and gymnasium on the
upDer floors, would insure a structure
of comfort and development to our
citizen soldiery, of convenience to
business aud professional men, and of
commanding appearance to the whole
city. The building could be bonded,
as was the Exchange and Library,
and the rents would pay the interest
and retire the bonds year by year.
Each company itself would pay to the
armory fuud an annqal rental until
the debt had been retired and the
building became theirs.
The purchase of a lot and the brak
ing of ground for such a structure
would be of immense benefit to Au
lt would start off the building
boom for the season. The business
year will be on us in two or three
mouths. It will lie a prosperous sea
son, and there is no use in pleading
Kjvcrty before such a prospect. The
lest way to push your town is to show
your own confidence in it. The deter
mination to build a large, handsome
armory would be the best advertise
ment Augusta could get. It would
be the handsomest semi off Au_
has gotten since the erection of the
Sand Hills hotel.
The building should be tlirc
four stories. It should be supplied
with reading room, billiard ro
baths connected with the armory. It
should be reached by an elevator from
the maiu entrance. Augusta needs
just such a building on Broad street.
There is much iu the above which
might be applied to Thomasville. The
city and citizeus should give aid to
the erection of a handsome armory
building iu Thomasville.
The Park Question.
The lease and option of purchase
held by the city ou Paradise Park
expires with the year.
The benefits to the city fiom the
use of this splendid piece of property
as a park have increased vith the three
years that has passed siuce it was
leased and .the purchase option se
cured, and as a natural sequence the
necessity of keeping it open as a park
for all time to come hits increased in
the same ratio.
As showing how the que. tion :s re-
rded by outside parties, that are
conversant with the needs and future
of the city, wc give an extract from a
private letter received from a well
known New York geutlcman, who has
pent many seasons in Thomasville,
and who will, in all probability spend
many more here. The gentlem:
pleased to ^e that you advo
cate the purchase of Paradise Park,
for the insignificant sum of £15,000.
When our Central Park was outside
the city, and it was proposed to pay
(I think) about£12,000,000 for it, it
met with determined opposition from
certain quarters. The same parties
that then opposed the purchase would
oppose the sale of it now for £100,-
000,000, Indeed for building lots (
it is almost in the heart of the city)
it would bring more than £100,000,-
000. Never was money more judi
ciously invested.”
The writer of this letter takes pre
cisely the game view of this matter
that every visitor will take, and it is
not too much to say that the same
views are entertained by a great many
of our own people; that is to sav, that
Thomasville cannot afford to lose the
park.
The question will come up for set-
thement in the near future, and it
ought to receive the careful attention
aud a conclusion prompted by public
spirit and a desire to see Thomasville
continue her onward match.

is one of the few men, the thrilling
account of whose supposed death was
wired all over the country, and then
lived to read the account himself.
Many of our readers remember
reading an account of the terrible
fight between officers and Rube Bur
rows* gang of well kuown train rob-
bors, at Montgomery, Ala., January
22nd, 1888. In tbe fight Bray, one of
the officers’ posse, then day foreman
on the Advertiser, was shot through
andthrough and was the only one of
the officers’ gang seriously hurt. That
night seven doctors despaired of his
life, having no idea that he could
survive with such a wound, more than
a few hours. It was then a report of
his death was teiegraphed in connec
tion with an account of the fray.
The robber escaped, but Mr. Bray
said yesterday, that after a protracted
chase to Texas after the leader, Rube
Burrows, he received certain proof
of of his death. Mr. Bray has never
fully recovered from his experience
with the outlaws, and is but a wreck
of his tormcr fiue physique.

say: (). K. It has been for a long
time a welcome weekly visitor to our

little of the South, and far less of

publications, we believe that

“Don’t.”
The City Council has agreed to dig
out the foundation to dir. Pei kin-
new budding, so that they could get
the clay to put on the streets. Now
if the Street Committee wants to do
the thing that will please everybody
they should clay the whole of the
Court House square, when that is
finished, make a good clay side walk
from Dogwood street to the depot.—
Monticello Constitution.
Our cotemporary has certainly never
had any experience with steeets that

ering of clay. If the council of Mon-
ticello follows his advice and puts
clay on the Court House square and

four county. They do not seem to
ieve us, when we write, telling
m about so many leaving this
country, and all going either West or
North, none .South; but such
fact. I think it easily accounted for.
The South, until quite recently,
almost an unknown land to people
here—looked upon as a second Africa,
an almost forbidden land, while at the
same time, our Government and the
public press of tbe country, advertised
the resources and advantages to be
derived in the West, in glowi
ors. Every train or boat oni
travel by, they would be handed pa
pers and pamphlets describing
new country.
Printers ink has a very great
fluenee upon the public. It was one
of the chief means of settling Manito
ba and the Northwest.
As climate is quite a consideration
with a person if he intends moving
elsewhere, I will give you
short sketch of some of our May
weather, and then ask you if we could
stand it in Dixie. First of all, spring
set in very early and promising.
April aud the beginning of May were
very fine. On the 17th of May the
mercury registered 84°, on the 18th
92° iu the shade, just what we call
I very warm; May 21st frost sufficient
to hurt garden plants; May 23d snow
and ice so thick that one could skate
;er the pontls dry shod. May 24th
set apart for celebrating ourt^ueen’i
birthday, but it put a damper upon
rejoicing when we looked into
gardens and could not find o
if our corn, melons, beans and other
ituff— all gone, and worse still, grapes
and cherries entirely gone. We do
not expect any fruit here this season.
Since the 24th ult., until date, (June
3d) it has rained night and day, with
out ceasing, so much so that prayers
were offered up in the various
churches for dry weather. Still we
love this country.
By the way, what about your Ex
position? Wc expect cheap fare to
see it this fall.
Wc trust your railroad schemes
will l>e a success, as we would wish to
plant a mill along the ucw route.
Wishing you all success with the
Times-Exterprise, aud that your
Exposition will, find us at Thomas
ville. with a host of others, and that
jur friends who are now there will
remain there to welcome us,
I remain, Your truly,
Canadian.
If “Canadian” will come to Thomas
ville, he will find that frost in Jane
will be remembered with the things
of the past. As these lines are penned,
a breeze is coming in at the open door
that is as soft and cooling as those
that come to the traveler from “Araby

State papers will please ropy.
The purpose of the convention is to
bring about a more thorough under
standing between the sheriff’s of the
state, which will enable them to more
effectually discharge thl? duties of
their offices. With a thorough ac
cord between the officers of the state
it is easy to see that the ends of
justice will be easily compassed.
The sheriffs of Georgia afe very
efficient and active already, and any
thing that will add to their usefulness,
as conservators of the peace, deserves
the moral and active support of all
good citizens.
It is hoped that all of the sheriffs
of the state will attend the conven
tion.

The Melon Crop.
The protracted drouth which wai
broken by copious rains last week has
proved a serious injury to tbe melon
crop. It is feared that the rains have
come too late. The growth of the
-vines and the fruiting of the same has
bem set back ten or fifteen days, and
in many instances the vines have died
outright. We cannot hope now to
ship as many melons as we did last
year by a considerable amount.—

The Railway says that 53,436
miles of new railway have already been
projected in the first quarter of 1889.
There are 666 new lines. Nearly hall
of the new mileage will be in the south
and southwest. And yet there arc
croakers who believe the country is
moving backwards. Some of these
days they will get run over by the
wheels of progress.

President Donaldson, ot the Rain-
bridge. Cuthbert and Columbus road,
has assured the citizens of Ba nbridgi
that the road will be built at once from
Bainbridge to Cuthbert, if the citizens
will subscribe $20,000. to be paid when
the road is completed. And Bain
bridge will raise the money. They
would be acting very foolishly if they
did not. The road will be extended
westward from Cuthbert to Columbus
and southward to Quincy or Tallahas

Capt. W. D. Dixon, a prominent
undertaker, ol Savinnah, has been
elected vice-president of the Centers,
a base ball club of the Forest city.
As there is great rivalry among the
various amateur clubs in Savannah,
V. P. Dickson has adopted a novel
mode of stimulating the Centers. He
offers two prizes for those who make
the best runs: A fine metallic burying
case, and a handsome tombstone with
raised letters. The lucky winners will
be reidy for burial. Well, a metallic
case is a very good place for a
young man who can’t talk anything
but base ball.
It gives us pleasure to testify hereto
the excellent work being done on tbe

—w ierever be is assigned—he fully
