Democratic to the very core, toler
ant of the. opinions of others, devoted
to the material welfare and prosperity
of this section and people, the Times-
Entertrise will he found battling,
nt all times, for the common good of
all. Everything looking to the build
ing up of the trade and commeicciof
the town; everything tending to de
velop and improve the agricultural'
interests of the country; everything
calculated to encourage morality, law
aud order, and to preserve peace and
good will between all, will find in the
new paper a consistent, constant co-
adjutpr.
The city department, in- chnige
of (.'apt. Winter, will he a reflex of
passing current events of t lie day, aud
will, under his management, he de
voted to the best interests of Thomas-
ville. Ilis trenchant pen will find
ample scope in tiie discussion mid
elaboration of every present, or pro
posed industry which goes to build up
a town and people. No man Inis a
keener perception of these wants aud
agencies, and few writers have the
" rare faculty of better enforcing and
illustrating arguments in favor of the
importance,aud the necessity,of every
thing pertaining to, or which alljets,
the weal of place aud people. His

Business Announcement.
The proprietors of the Thoniasvillc
Times and the Thoniasvillc Enter
prise, having Seen moved thereto by
the advice of the business men of
Thoniasvillc and friends ot noth pa
pers, have consolidated the two offices
in a stock company, under the title of
Times-Exterprihe Publmiiino Co.
The Daily Times-Entehprise will be
issued every morning; the Weekly
Times every Saturday and the Week
ly Enterprise every Thursday, as
heretofore.
In making this announcement the
business manager desires to say to the
public that in no sense will the pres
ent arrangement have a tendency to
raise prices. The prices lor advertis
ing arc and will be the saint- that have
governed the two papers for the past
four years, as have appeared in both
papers. These rates were agreed on
by both papers as fair and equitable
In job printing wc propose to compete
with the world. Wc recognize the
fact that there arc ample facilities af
forded in Savannah, Macon, Atlanta
and New York for doing the business
of Thoniasvillc, and we propose to
compete with-these points. Our prices
will not he advanced because wc have
no competition, aud our business men
can.readily understand that, as wc
want to cover the field, it is our poli
cy to so run the husiuiss as to make
it unnecessary for competition. De
termined to make our rates in all de
partments as reasonable as circum
stances will permit, wc shall expect
our husiijess men to give tys their, pat
ronage. Recognizing the fact that,
one daily paper is all that Tlioinusville
needs, or will support, we have made
the combination iu the interest of the
public, as well as of the business, aud
we believe the public will show their
appreciation of the movement by giv
ing us their hearty support.

It is the misfortune of President
llarrisou to have an unattractive
personality. He is cold and unsym
pathetic, and his manners appear
stilted and unnatural. His appear
ance amid the multitude at the recent
centennial celebration in New York
aroused nothing like popular enthusi
asm. The New York Star speaks of
a remarkable incident of the hall as
follows;
•‘An opportunity occurred at the
ball to test the President’s popularity
very thoroughly. When he entered
the hall, in company with the mayor,
the clapping of hands could scarcely
be heard. An hour later Mr and
Mrs. Cleveland came down from their
box on to the floor. The whole as
semblage sent up a shout that was
perfectly spontaneous and seemed
slraugCy out of {dace iu a ball-room.
The contrast was the more striking
because Mr. Cleveland was a Presi
dent whose cudeavor always seemed
to be to win the reject of the people
rather than their affection. Com
pared with Gen. Harrison, however,
his popularity is somcthing*astonish-

Making a Hog Happy, and How It
Resulted.
New York Sun.
Wc were sitting in front of Taylor’s
grocery, on a summer day, when a big
black hog came nosing along the get
ter, aud started a new train of thought.
In the (*Towd of loungers was a man
lrom St. Louis, aud, after watchiug
the porker for awhile, lie remarked:
‘*1 wonder it that hog ever had a
real good time in ail his life?”
‘•Hogs alius have good times, I
ghess,” remarked the village cooper,
who had knocked off work aud come
over .to hear some polities.
“I doubt it,” said the other. “He
must feel.his degraded position iu life,
and so he cannot be happy, I wish I
could do something to make-him feel
that life is worth the living.”
“Fust man I ever saw who pitied a
hog,” grunted the blacksmith, who
ought to have been tacking a shoe on
a waiting mule.
“Yes, I do pity him. 1’vc been
down myself, and know how it is.
Taylor, have you got any cherry
whiskey?”
■ “Mighty little, if any. Moro cher
ries than whiskey, I guess.”
“If you’ve two quarts of cherries,
which have been in liquor, bring ’em
out, and I’ll give you a half a dollar.
I’m going to make that hog happy
for two hours.”
The grocer got the cherries, which
had been lying in liquor for a couple
of years, and the St. Louis man pour
ed them out in tiie gutter for the hog.
They were devoured with astonishiug
avidity, aud the porker stood and
looked at us aud hungered for more.
It was doubted by some if the liquor
would affect him, but after a few min
utes ho beiran to frisk aud play, and
was evidently under the influence..
“That docs me good,” said the donor
of the cherries. “He is becoming
fight hearted, and life wjjll take on
new charms for him. Hang a raau
who won’t give a hog a show!”
Just theu the animal uttered
course ‘woof!’ and charged for the
crowd. AVe scattered, and ho entered
jlie grocery, took two or three turns,
hot out and down the street.

which lasted lor years. I tried all the doc
tors aud many which were recommended by
other parties, but the sores still grew worse,
until I did not expect him to recover. My
friends were con lid »nt that if the sores heal
