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.

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.

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.
