A Comparison that is not Odious.
An absence of ten days from Thora-
asville, during which time Middle and
Upper Georgia were visited, gives a
splendid opportunity for comparing
our own city with other towns and
cities in the state. It is not the pur
pose of the writer to make invidious
comparisons hut he is content to con
tinue his lot with Thomnsville aud
her people, believing that their futur c
is assured.
It is certainly true that middle aud
upper portions of the state are im
proving; evidences of .such improve
ment are to be seenr on every hand,
and they arc of a nature to betoken
solid progress, but Smith Georgia is
not bellied in the march of ma
terial growth that is abroad in the
state. Taking Thomasville as the
repraentntive town ofour section, it
is not outside the pale of perfect
truth to say that it shows more evi
dence of solid thrift than any town
or city of anything like its size in the
state. Besides this, it is undoubtedly
true, that if clean and well kept
streets, neat and attractive' residences,
beautiful flowers and gardens are to
be taken as indicators of thrift,
Thomasville will impress every visitor
as the most attractive and prosperous
town in Georgia.
The good name of Thomasville has
gone abroad, and it excites a thrill of
pleasure to hear the many pleasant
things that are said of Thomasville
whenever her name is mentioned.
Where so much is expected it will
require extra efforts on the part of
Thomasville to prevent disappointing
people, who, attracted by her reputa
tion, come to see, either with a view
of buying or in search of health or
pleasure.
1 -This means That out
afford to relax their efforts to push
the fortunes of our town.

The Governor Decides that the Commis
sions Shall Issue.
Atlanta, May 31.—Ou the re
commendation of Judge Hanscll, the
governor ou April 20 appointed as
commissioners of road and reveuues of
Thomas county, Messrs. A. P.
Wright, John L. Finn, J. A. Bul
lock, M. Iv. Malletlo and Jamc3 F.
Lilly. The commissions were for
warded to the ordinary of the county,
but before the delivery (lie governor
telegraphed that they be svith-held.
Ilis attention had been called to a
local act of 1887 for Thomas county,
providing that these commissioners
shall be appointed or confirmed by
the grand jury of the county. After
submitting the matter to the attorney-
general the governor decided that the
commissions should issue and has so
advised the ordinary.
The opinion reached, was that the
local act is clearly unconstitutional,
but the commissions were ordered is
sued to the gentle nan named for
other and valid reasons.
It will be inferred from the above,
which is a special to the Macon Tele
graph, that the recommendation of
the grand jury has not been noted on,
and that the first commissions issued
will hold. It is enough to say that
Thomas county is safe in the hands of
either board, whatever may have been
the rearm for the action on the part
of the governor.
Mrs. R. W. McDonell and children,
who have been spending some time
with Mr, and Mrs. Geo.G. N. McDon

passed through the city yesterday tor
Albany, where he will be stationed.
Capt. “Shuck” Whitaker sold a
horse at auction, corner Broad and
Jackson streets, yesterday. The price
obtained was low, which shows that
horses arc not in as much demand as
money.
My. Henry Johnson, of Patten, has
a fine piece of cotton that lias been
planted only five week; it will average
fourteen inches high and is full of
forms. Look out for Johnson, lie’s
coming.
Some Railroad Talk.
A recent trip over the newly com
pleted Georgia Southern and Florida
railroad, from Valdosta to Macon,
has given the reporter an excellent op
portunity to sec what that line has done
for the section through which it runs,
and in turn to see what the country is
doing lor the railroad.
Ioadisone r ^||g||,
There are on the line 53 saw mills, or
an average of one to every two and
three quarters miles of its entire length.
These mills cut a vast amount of lum
ber, which seeks a market over the
road.
What the Georgia Southern has
done and is dqutg lor the section
through which it runs would be dupli
cated by a road from Thomasville to
Cordele,
The pine forests along such a line
would give profitable employment to
many mills, which would in turn give
a fine business to the road.
There is no better belt of timber in
the south than that between Thomas
ville and Cordele, and with a road con
necting the towns, owned, controlled
and operated for the benefit ot Thom
asville, this lumber can be turned into
money that will be spent here. This
fact cannot be gainsaid. Thomasville
needs a railroad outlet in the direction
of Macon, Augusta and Atlanta more
urgently than she needs any single
elemnt to promote her growth.

Terrible Loss of Life Caused by a

PiTTMmii:, May 31. —A sudden
freshet is reported in tho North Fork
river east of Johnston. Pa., in the
Allegheny mountains. Two-thirds ot
Johnstown is said to he under water,
and the railroads and telegraph lines
are washed out. It is said that tho
reservoir above town broke about
o'clock this evening and an immense
volume of water rushed di

ctipants were swept away,'and scores,
prabably hundreds, of people
frowned. There is no communica

operator on the Pennsylvania railroad
tower at Long Hollow, twelve miles
this side of Johnstown, says at least
seventy-five dead Bodies have floated
past. The wires arc all down and no
trains are running east of Blairsville
junction, which is about twenty-fi
miles west of Johnstown. There
uo way to get to the scene of the dis
aster, and lull particulars can hardly
be obtained to night, although every
effort is being made to do so. There
will be no trains through to the cast
before t wnorrow.

Mr. Figg—In the stove.
Recently, in my close attention in
many years capacity at the circuit court,
I have been suffering from partial or
incipient paralysis of the right hand,or
what is otherwise known as pen paral
ysis, the result, of course of constant
writing with that hand. With so little
use of that member I am beginning
to make my left hand very useful, and
I find it a much more important Icat-
tire than we usually imagine. I think
the habit of cultivating the service ot
the left hand should be more general
and taught from early cht dhood; in
that way the flexibility would be estab
lished and the right hand saved from
the great strain upon it. It is not at all
necessary to be what is termed “left-
handed” to be enabled to use that
hand. I know one young lady artist
who is not at all so. yet who can use
the left hand as well as the right per
fectly by cultivation. She can draw
with the left hand as easily as she can
with the right one, turned toward the
right. My case should be a warning
to writers especially, not to leave all
strain to one Hand, but to cultivate the
service of the other, or, at least, its
assistance. I now have to do much
of my writing with my left, and accom
plish it quite as well as with the right,
and 1 am, by no means, left-handed.
