If it is true, as stated, that Thomas
ville makes up purses for tramps,
who are then sent away, all the tramps
in Georgia will pay her a visit within
the next three months.-—News.
Thomasville and her people arc
noted for their charities, but they do
not carry them to the extent indicated
in the above paragraph. The incident
giving rise to the above, occurred in
Judge Mitchell’s Court, and does
credit to him and Ins officials. A
poor, - half starved, sick, emaciated
specimen of humanity, was arraigned
for vagrancy. His condition natural
ly appealed to the sympathies of the
court. The result was a purse made
up on the spot and presented to the
unfortunate fellow.
O, no, Thomasville doesn’t make un
purses for tramps as a rule. But she
works them on the chain gang. And
that is just where every healthy
tramp in the state oughy.o lie.
We half suspect that our big con
temporary wants to rid Savannah of
tramps, and so circulates the good
news that Thomasville will make up
purses for them and send them on
their way rejoicing. Just let some of
those fellows try it. Wo will have
them shoveling dirt in less tliuii no
time.
Laying Sower.
The chain gang is now at work ex
cavating for the sewer pipe, on Jack-
son street, which is to run from Daw
son to Madison avenue. As soon as
it is laid, all connections near Jackson
street will he made with the main
sewer. It i3 of about 15 inch diame
ter, and it will be ample for all pur
poses of the territory covered. This
is a movement in the right direction,
and should be followed, at proper
intervals, by others in localities where
most needed.

Idle Negro Boys.
At all hours of the day, and far
info the night, the streets of Thomas
ville arc infested with a crowd of idle
negro boys, taking their first lessons
in idleness and its result, crime.
These boys arc noisy, dirty and disa
greeable. Keep them off tho streets.

News from the Wanderers.
Indian Si'KiNd, Ga., )
June Iff, 1HN!). |
Fiutokh Timkh-Enthki’Bimh:
Dear Sirs—As \vc promised to keep
you posted as to our whereabouts, wc
will-coninience by saying wc are now
at Indian Springs. Wc drove from
Thomasville to Macon and left our
horse there, and took the train to
Brunswick. There we met our old
friends, M. Isaac and wile, also Joe
Love; Joe is in business there. From
Brunswick we took steamer to Cum-
berlaml Island to get a sea bath. We
got plenty of sea, but nothing else; the
place was so crowded wc could not
even get room to_ sleep on the floor,
but had to hang out doors, in ham
mocks. We returned to Macon Thurs
day morning end drove through For
syth to Indian Springs. Wc intend
spending several days here.
Wc have seen but very little dirt as
good as Thomas county since wc left.
Thomasville is the best little city, in
the state. Wc have enjoyed our trip
so far very much. Wc will write you
again when wc reach the end of our
journey. Yours truly,
Wm. Mii.i.i-.u.
Wc hope Mr. Miller and Kd.Thomp
son will not be taken up for tramps.
They can get certificates ot good char
actor by sending to Thomasville.
• Sunrise in Yosemite Valley.
When I awoke the blackness of
darkness still covered tho land, but
there was an indistinguishable some
thing in the east that warned me that
darkness must go, a something that
was not light and yet gave a premoni
tion of (ho light. “And there was
light.” It. stole up, the white silvery
light of dawn. There was no color,
as there were uo clouds. Everything
was irv impenetrable gloom and the
light stole gently up and made a hori-
(7/nyyet leaving everything hither-
ward still hidden beneath the pall.
Then the peaks began to define them
selves, the highest first, soon assuming
an irregularly separated appearance
against the light, like mighty teeth in
a gigantic broken saw. Then the
light began to show between the
teeth and the saw appeared to grow
thicker, and to glow thoughout its
length with a bright, silvery light,
more like un electric light than any
thing else. As the light climbed
higher on the horizon, and more of it
Rhone through the clefs, the saw was
demolished and groups of the highest
teetli formed themselves into more- or
less regular fantastic profile faces.
One splendid Punch like profile was
the last to disappear, frightened away
by the advancing light, more potent
than the hangman. Soon I was able
to recognize tho higher anjl further
peaks, then, as the pall was lifted,
those nearer. Thou there shot up
from horizon to zenith a beam of still
whiter light than had yet appeared,
and ipiiekly there were more beside it,
and more and more, until there was a
halo of glory resting on the horizon
and lighting the whole eastern sky. ft
grew brighter ami brighter, finally
disappearing, too glorious to waste
itself oil mortal view, though (he
world was heller for its having lived.
All tho while the foreground was be
coming plainei in the picture and
features recognizable as the gloom lied.
A pinkish light appeared on the edges
of the higher peaks and gradually
changed to a golden glare as it settled
dyyvii over everything. There was a
star, as at Mirror lake, then Old
Sol’s full face and to-day was just
like yesterday, and 1 went to break
fast.—Private letter from II. T.
While.
Mine. Jane Hading has written an
article in which she gives her impres
sions nf America and Americans.
Speaking of American women, she
says: “They possess beauty like the
English and piquancy like the French,
with something added in the shape of
health and spirits, producing a tone
of mind and a frame of body wc know
little about in France. Nowhere in
the world are women so tenderly and
so carefully considcftd as in the Uni
ted States, and that is, no doubt, why
the United States is the only country
in the World—not including my own
—where the young girl is the chief
personage, the characteristic type.”

'•in the Memphis Appeal.
If the south generally could be heard
it would, to a man, be in favor ol Geor
gia sending General Gordon back to
the United States senate. He is by
long odds the best public speaker m
this section, is a man o/ sound demo
cratic principles, and while aggressive
in their defense, never fails to win with
Ins opponents, lie is a man of
the courage ol his convictions, and
genial and generous to a fault.
An Australian who was hanging to
the lieein of a bridge and realizing
that lie must fall, made a verbal will
to a companion, disposing of about
850,000 worth of property, and the
courts sustained it. Once in a while
the courts do a sensible thing.
