Eighteen Yesterday.
A fairer flower never blushed or
bloomed in June, than Miss ,
whose eighteenth birthday occurred
yesterday.
Born and reared in this fair South
land, the roses have budded and blos
somed bn her checks for eighteen
summers. From the tiny little todler
through the stages of playhouse, dolls
and school days, the woman of to-day
takes her place, looking, perhaps,
wistfully back at the switfly past
years agone, while the fntnre, tinged
and brightened with the allurements
of hope, beckons her on to even fairer
fields and brighter scenes; scenes of
love, happiness and usefulness.
May the future bring all these, and
even more, to our fair young friend,
and may each recurring“leafy June,”
for long, long years to come, find her,
as now, surrounded by loving friends-

and
Police Court.
The mourners' seats in the police
court yesterday were full of penitents
and their frieuds; in fact it was the
largest police court held in many a
day. While convictions and fines
were numerous, they were light, and
in the sixteen cases fined the aggre
gate amounted to only 858. The fol
lowing are the oflenders and the of
fences:

riding on sidewalk and the other for
contempt of court. He was giiren $2
for the iirst offence and 85 in the ‘ sec
ond.

O. S. Bondurant Vounteer Observer
Patronize home industry, including
vour local paper. It is one way, and
a mighty good one, to build up a town.
Wooli'olk says he is in the hands of
God. The indications are that he will
soon be in the hands of the hangman.
Mr. John I. Parker went down to
Metcalfe yesterday to return with
Mrs. Parker, who has been visiting
there.
We were pleased’ to meet Mr. Wal
ter Peeples, of the Valdosta Times, in
town yesterday. He took in the
hanging.
For two hours yesterday the doors
of the undertakers were thrown open
so as to admit all who wished to view
the body of Will Debill. About two
bundled took advantage of the oppor
tunity.
The sound of saw, hammer
trowel, is heard on-evw hand. .Yog
can’t keep Thomasville down. She
continues to grow and spread, in spite
of the croakeis. Injustice, however,
to the place, we must say there are
very few chronic croakers here. A1
most every man, woman and child
have confidence in the future of the
place. And their confidence is well
founded.
Thomasville merchants arc carrying
splendid lines of goods. And they
are selling at prices which defy com
petition.
A few more fleeting months, and the
tide of Northern travel will be setting
southward. Let it come. Thomas
ville will be prepared and ready to cate
(or all who come here.
Do you ever slop to'think, at night,
when retiring, that faithful guardians
are watching and guarding the sleep
ing town, through the long hours ot the
night?
of
Mrs. G. W. Saxon and children
Tallahassee, Fla., will arrive to-day
and be the guests of Mr. Will Ball and
sisters for some days.
Miss Mattie Ball, who has been
visiting the old borne at Quincy, Fla.,
returned to-day, accompanied by her
little sister, Annie Belle. Mr. JVill
Ball came up with th m
Will Ball, who has ostensibly been
on a vml to Quincy, Fla., but who
was found in quite a different part of
the state, by one of our citizens, who,
unwittingly, gave him away, has got
back home. You must watch these
young bachelors.
Stand up for your town; talk up for
your town; whoop up your town; in
short, keep it humming. A town is
never completed. There should be no
let up. This is a wonderfully active
and pushing age. Towns and com
munities who sit down and wait to be
built up, wait for somebody to come
along and do the work, invariably get
left. And they deserve to get left.
Some Handsome Mantels.
The Thomasville Variety Works
shipped to Mr. R. H. Barnes, Val
dosta, two of the handsomest mantles
ever made in the-state.
One is a double mantle with a
bairasoine mirror let-into tho top. The
other is a handsome single one. Both
arc made of curled pine, and it is
hard to conceive a prettier wood for
such uses. The designs of their man
tles, showing the grain of the .pine, is
something exquisitely beautiful and
far beyond any painting that man
can do, showing that in some cases
nature, unadorned, is adorned the
most. Nothing can excell in beauty
our curled pine when finished prop
erly.
The Variety Works arc prepared
to do work in all of the various woods
common to this section, and with im
proved m’achincry and skilled work
men they can do it in the best manner.
Will Debill paid the death penalty
yesterday for the murder of one of his
race. His late should be a warning
to those who would imbrue their hands
in the blood of their fellow man.
Capt and Mrs. C. P. Hansell went
down to Monticello yesterday. Mrs.
Hansell will remain there some time,
the guest ot Mr. and Mrs. Ben. Baker.
Miss Addie McClellan has a full line
of illustrated papers, showing most
graphically, the horrors of the great
flood disaster in Pennsylvania. Call

tleman to remember the editor with

trust is said to be forming in the west,
with a capital of 8500,000. There
are but seven regular castor oil mills

These rascals are reversing the or
der of things: they are putting castor
