Forward let it be. Ciipt. Hammond. wilLgo down to Valdosta to-day. He is counsel in a murder case which will piobably come up this week in I .owudes Su perior Court. Judge Alexander returned from Lowndes court yesterday evening. He says that the court is now en gaged ou the criminal docket, and will probably be occupied with busi ness all this and next week.

One of our merchants on yesterday sold a good bill of groceries to a party living within ten miles ol Bambridgc. This item has a moral: If»you wanf good goods at low prices, come to Thomasville; read our paper and go to some merchant who wants to sell (all merchants who want to sell bad enough to offer bargains advertise,and you can’t make a mistake it you in spect our columns) and save money. It might not be a bad idea to sub scribe for the Times-Enterprise also, to keep posted. Paradise Park. As will be seen, by reference to offi cial notice of Mayor Hopkh s, an elec tion will be held on Wedne-ilay, the 26th day of June; to vote upon the question of issuing $15,000 in bonds to pay for Paradise Park and for the additional purpose of paying for water works, s^weragfc, &c. Themasville fully appreciates the importance of these questions. It is well known that the town lias an option on Paratflle Park which expires next January. This place has been properly denominated the lungs of the town, and is one of the most important attractions of our beautiful city, affording, as it does, health-giving properties to our numer ous winter visitors, who have very appropriately given it the name of “Paradise Park.” In the near future this will be a public necessity, as it is now most important luxury; but outside of this the purchase will be eminently a proper investment for the city, and will be a safe one in any emergency. It is, however, useless for us to say anything on this line. Our people are sufficiently aware of the importance of having the park,and there is probably no difference of opin ion on that question. It is recognized as a public necessity, and our people will cheerfully acquiesce in its pur chase. A Word to Farmers. Heretofore the saving of hay has been little practiced by the burners of this section. The mildness ot the winters enables the stock to go through with comparatively little feed, and hence the neglect ot the, hay crop Hor.es are fed either on oats or corn, and, if the latter, then todder is : ub stituted for hay. Few appreciate (lie damage done to qprn by^ 'snipping- off the fodder, 01 the cost ol saving this forage. Wc suggest that our farmers experiment a little this ^ear on this subject. Weigh the corn where the fodder lias been stripped and an equal quantity where it has been left on the stalk, Also prepare a piece of land for hay (the natural grasses) and count the cost, per hundred weight, of sav- mg hay and (odder and see how the account stands. We think one exper iment will satisfy any one that hay is the cheaper and better. There is al ways a market for hay and there is no good reason why this should not be come a paying crop here as it is in the north and west. Caution. Parties are requested to be careful in the observance of the city ordinance in reference to throwing paper or oth er rubbish on the streets. As several runaways have occurred from paper blowing on the streets lately, parties tyho sufter damage will likely have the parties violating the ordinance before the mayor. Place barrels in front of your store and put your trash in it, for removal by the city carts. We are requested to call particular attention to it. Mr. W. R. Gunn, the architect, has developed into an egg broker. Being in a neighboring town a day or £wo since, he bought eighty dozen eggs aud had them shipped to a gro cery merchant here. This relieved the egg famine which has existed for two or three days in Tliomasville. Mr. Gunn has the happy faculty of turning his hand to anything, from drawing the most elaborate and mod ern plans of public or private build ings, to supplying a market. In equine vcruncular “he goes all the gaits.” John Haman, (no relation, or it' so, very distant, to the Haman who was hung in olden time), a colored youth, was arraigned before Justice Mardre yesterday for stealing snuff from Mr. Jas. B. Hancock, near McDonald, in this county. The boy was evidently “up to snuff” through the influence of his mother. His employer, in the kindness of his heart, stood Ins bond and took him back home. The Jacksonville Council. Governor Fleming has just com pleted the list ot the councilnicn for he city of Jacksonville under the now charter. Here they are: , Ward one—B. F.'D.llon, L. C. Em ery. Ward two—A. W. Cockrell. Jr., C. W. Kinne. Ward three—Frederick Pasco, F. W. Mumby. Ward four—D. U. Fletcher, C. & Adams. Ward five—T. W. Roby, O. L. Keene. Ward Six—T. J. Bovil, J. W. Mil- lot'. Ward seven—J. 11. Stephens, W. A. McDiiff. Ward eight—E. E. Bclisario, Oscar Ncuncit. Ward nine—C. B. Rogers, D. T. Gerow. It will be seen that there is one re publican and one democrat in each ward, except in the third and eighth where both appointees are democrats. This makes eleven democrats and seven republicans In the full board. The notification of appointment by the governor empowers them to meet and organize, and makes it incum bent upon the old council to surren der records, etc.—Timos-Utiion. Mr. B. F. Dillon is a brother of oilr fellow eili/.cn, Mr James It. Dillon. In their war against the Bagging Trust the Southern cotton planters are receiving assurances of sympathy from unexpected quarters. A few days ago wc quoted an article from’ the Chicago luter-Ocenn, urging the farmers to stnuil firmly by their reso- lutiou to substitute cotton cloth for jute bagging, and assuring them that they could, by united action, defeat the trust. The Pittsburg Chrouicle- Telegraph commends the agreement of the Farmers’ Alliances in the South, to use cotton cloth for bnliug this year’s cotton crop, and says: “This is a much more sensible and effective method of fighting the monop oly than the holding of indiguation meetings tuid the adoption of frothy resolutions denouncing the jute trust. If they adhere to it.it will have the effect not only of eventually wiping out the monopoly, but of establishing the manufacture of cotton cloth suit able for bagging at home.' It will keep in the country the money con sent to India for jute, create a market for the lower giades of cotton, and thus improve its price, aud add a new industry that will give employment to thousuuds of hands.” Hon. W. W. Gordon chairman of ihe Stale F’inance Committee has just finished examining the accounts and cash in Treasurer Hardeman's office, and ot Comptroller General Wright’s. He said to a correspondent ol the Macon Telegraph: •‘We have thoroughly overhauled both the Treasurer’s ant} the Comp 1 roPer's offices. We were satisfied in the beginning that everything was all right and as it should be, but we want ed to be able to report it so of our own personal knowledge. One important result achieved by such an examination as has been made is the knowledge ob tamed of the system under which these departments of the slate arc operated, and the suggestions of improvement in the system which have occurred to business men on the committee.' 1 The St. Louis Republic says: New England cotton factories are beginning tq transfer their plants and business to the south. One from Vermont goes to Alabama, and a Connecticut concern half a century old has arranged a trans fer to South Carolina. Nothing will save the New England manufacturers of the common grades ot cotton except a tariff revision which will open foreign markets to them. Baltimore, May 21.—George J. Appojd, president of the Merchant's aud Miner's Transportation Company, said this morning that the steamer Johns Hopkins, which was burned last night, was wortli 6200,00*1, and was insured for 81-15,000. The greater part of her cargo hail been unloaded, aud only 200 bales of cotton, a lot of lumber, and some rosin, remained ou board when the fire broko out. The cotton was from Georgia, en route to Liverpool, and was insured from the point of shipment. • Miss Beulah Turner, daughter ol Mrs. Annie Turner, accompanied by her mother, while doing some shop ping at Levy’s dry goods store, yester day, fainted.

May “1,—President Carnot to-day gave an audience to Whitelnw Reid,-the American minister, who presented his credentials. In his re marks, Mr. Reid assured President Carnot that lie would endeavor to maintain and stimulate the esteem which President Harrison and the whole American peoplp held for France. “It is my good fortune,” said Mr. Reid, “to represent America hero when France is celebrating a centen- nary ns important as the centonnary lately celebrated in Amerioa. Wc do not forget that you helped in the success of our revolution. This in creases our interest in the maguificent display of arts of peace with which you nobly crown your centennary. Mv instructions inform ntc that there does not exist a shadow of difference between the United States and France capable of obscuring the century-old friendship of the two republics, which I hope will always endure.” President Carnot, in reply to Mr. Reid’s remarks, said ho received .with pleasure the letters accrediting Mr. Reid to F’rancc.
