The Manufacturers’ and Trade Re
view issue of the Atlanta Journal, is
on our desk. It is too_ big. a thing to
be disposed of in a short notice. It is
by all odds the most pretentious pub
lication of the sort ever attempted iu
the South. From front to back it is
an Atlanta production, lithographic
work, illustrations and all. The mar
velous spirit of 'push that has raised
Atlanta from a heap of ashes and
ruins to be the foremost city iu all
this beautiful Southland, stood ns the

on the minutes of the company.

Dear Timer-Enterprise : As our
town authorities will apply to the leg
islature of the state for the passage of a
local 1) if' converting itiu to a city, would
it not be well for this new charter to
he granted under die narpe of “City
of Thomas?” That c/Y/e conveys at
once to the mind of the distant read
er a littleness which we ought to shake
off, Would this not accord with the
will of our citizens? 1 think - it would.

Thomasville National Bank.
Yesterday the comptroller of the
currency issued an order requiring all
the National Banks to prepare a
statement of their conditidn at the
close of business, Monday, 13th. inst.
Our bank was notified yesterday by its
agent in Washington, by wire, and the
(statement appears in this morning’s
paper. This is unquestionably quick
work.
The showing made in the statement
is a fine one. The deposit account,
§110,000, is good for the season and
the slate of business.
The surplus at.d undivided profit
fund, upwards .of $23,000, shows that
the profits of the bank have been
steady and satisfactory since it began
business 21 months ago.
Awarded the Contract.
The Thomasville Variety Works,
Messrs. Reynolds, Hargrave and
Davis, proprietors, have been award
ed the contract for making the im
provements to he made on the home
stead at “Greenwood.” It is under
stood that it is Mr. VauDtizer’s
intention to retain all the characteris
tics that make the house the finest
type of the old tin 0 Southern home
in the state. Its fiuc shrubbery,
wealth of flowers,large and lofty rooms
may never again yield their lasciuatiou
to those to whom for years it was
a loving and lovable home, but it is
peculiarly fortunate that it has fallen
iDto the hands of a gentleman of
taste and means who will make it as
it was in its happiest and brightest
days.
It goes without saying that Messrs.
Reynolds, Hargrave and Davis will
gpe fine judgment and taste iu this
work.,. Thej^have ample-facilities for
doing a splendid job and they wijl
uso them to the best possible advau-
.• It was a Whopper.
Bob Balfour, Cicero Young and Dr.
White made a raid on the fish in
Miccosukie yesterday.
Mr. Balfour caught a magnilicen'
trout. Mr. Bailout says it would have
weighed twelve pounds when caught.
I: was on ice yesterday afternoon at
the • Pearl” and attracted quite a
crowd. Several other fine fish were
caught.
Hon. H. Frank Sharon, of Quiww, j
was in the city yesterday, the guest of j
tho Stuart. Mr. Sharon is an old j
Bainbcidgc man. c
Fire in Monticello.
Yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock
the residence of Mr. Tom Simpkins,
in Monticello, was destroyed by fire.
Mr and Mrs. Simpkins were attending
a picnic at the time, but one oP their
daughters was at - home. The fire is
supposed to have" originated from a
Stove flue. The loss was heavy and in
cluded the bridal presents of Mrs,
Denham, nee Miss Simpkins, who was
married only a few weeks ago.
Mr. Simpkins had only $1,5jo
insurance. In trying to save the
building a Mr. Hale fell form a ladder,
dislocating his sliqulder and breaking
his arm.

In the County Court.
J udgo Mitchell had several crimin
al cases before him yesterday. Willie
Scott pleaded guilty to the charge of
assault and battery. Another colored
citizen was up for the same offense,
but the evidence was not sufficient to
convict, and he was discharged.
The Diocesan Convention.
The convention of the Episcopal
Diocese of Georgia, met in Atlanta
yesterday. St. Thomas church, in
this city, elected Capt. W. 51. Ham
mond, Mr. T. E. Blackshear and 5Ir.
