Few counties in Georgia have as
many prosperous towns in it, as
Thomas, Look at Boston, Cairn,
Ochlockonec and Metcalfe. Thomas
county is proud of them. They are
orderly, peaceable, moral, prosperous
places. May prosperity crown them
for all time to come.
At South Georgia College.
The commencement exercises ol this
institution open this morning with a
sermon by Rev. I)r. T. E. Smith, of
Cedar Keys, Fla., in the college chap
el.
To-morrow evening, at 8 o’clock,
Hon. P. W. Meldrim will deliver the
baccaulaurate address. From the well
safe to say that the large crowd that
will attend will be amply repaid. The
chapel will be handsomely decorated
with flowers and evergreens; the young
ladies and gentlemen will take part in
the pleasure task of making the chapel
of their alma mater a bowerof beauty.
Tuesday evening the annual prize
declamation and debate will come off.
Wednesday evening the annual con
cert by the young ladies of the college
will afford a treat to the audience.
After the concert the medals award
ed to the participants in prize decla
mation and debate will be delivered
by Mr. Alex. R. Jones. Thursday
evening the amusing cantata “Trial
by Jury,” will be rendered by a strong
cast.
It is understood that Chancellor
Boggs of the State University will be
present during the commencement ex
ercises.
H$ will deliver an address on edu
cation in Albany, Wednesday evening,
and it would be a good plan to have
the learned gentleman address our
people on ihc same subject.
A Fruit Section.
It is generally supposed in middle
and upper Georgia that the wiregrass
section is not a fruit-growing couutry.
If some of those who think so, would
come to Thomasvillc and sec the wag
on loads of apples, peaches ami pears
which come into market, they would
change their opinion. All that is
necessary is proper attention and
judgement in planting the right vari
eties, to raise fruit here to very fair
perfection. While" we 'do not claim
Jo raise as line peacheu -or apples, of
some varieties, ns can Iks raised in
one or two favored sections of the
the state, yet we can compare favora
bly with any section of the south tak
ing it. as a whole. In the matter of
pears we can boat the world.
Off for New York.
Dr. T. M. McIntosh left for New
York city yesterday, at 12:40. He
will attend a meeting of the American
Medical Association at Newport, R. I..
next week, as a delegate from the
Georgia Medical Association. Dr.
McIntosh will spend several weeks in
the metropolis after the adjournment
of the American Association,
The Weekly Thomasville Times-
Enteri’rse goes into almost every
household iu the county—and into
hundreds of families in adjoining
counties. This is a pointer for mer
chants. If you want the country
trado say so through the columns of
the Weekly Times-Enterprise. “Ask
and ye shall receive.”
We expect a large and enthusiatlc
delegation of Thomusville's citizens
at the Veterans Reunion in Bain-
bridge on tho glorious Fourth. Judge
H. W. Hopkins was interviewed in
our office yesterday morning by an
old Bainbridgc vet. and he says that
Thomasvillc will be there by her
usual majority.
The Constitution never makes any
thing smaller than it is. Coroner
Johnson was surprised to find in its col
umns the other day, that 8125.00, had
been turned over to him as a portion
of the effects of a suicide; and now it
comes very near killing Zeke Hamil
ton to learn that n burglar stole $2,-
")00, from him the other night. He
regretted bad enough to lose the small
amount which he did, but to lose two
thousand five hundred dollars, knocks
him all in a heap.
Interesting Relies.
Mrs. A. D. Rike, of this place, is in
possession ofau interesting relic. It is
an old German bibio, dated 1720. It
lias been in the possession of Mrs.
Rikc’s ancestors for a hundred ami
fifty years, and she prizes it very
highly. There are also some letters
written in the German language that
have been preserved between the
leaves of the bock, tiiat were written
over a hundred years ago. Mrs,
Rike is anxious to have the letters
translated.
True as Preaching.
li the farmers will hold together
they can at least break up the bagging
trust by throwing all of the stock in
to the hands of the men who bought
it. The cotton bagging seems to an
swer every purpose, and by using it
there is at once a demand for about
17)0,000 hales of inferior stuff that
cannot well he utilized in anything
else.
The trouble with men who fight
combinations, is that they weaken as
soon as the other side makes conces
sion. The bagging trust may he
willing to come to terms with the
farmers, hut there is no assurance that
they will not secretly organize next
year. Besides why should cotton
growers buy other haling and stuff
than an article made from the pro
duct of their own fields. It is to
their mutual benefit to find a means
of consuming their inferior grades of
cotton.—Montgomery Advertiser.
Widows and Widowers.
From the New York Sun.
There are over 800,000 more widows
than widowers in England. In France
for every 100 widowers there are 194
widows.
These facts lead the Westminister
Review to treat the growing disposi
tion of men to marry late in life as a
very serious evil of modern society.
Such men usually marry younger
women, who, in the natural order of
things, may he expected to survive
them. Even where widowers enter
again into matrimony, they do not
often take for wives women of a cor
responding or ail approximately cor
responding age, hut young maidens,
who are likely to be left widows.
Tho greater longevity of women lues
induced some philosophers to advise
that, on the contrary, the wife should
be older than the husband, and there
have t heeu some notable marriages
where that was the case. The Baron-
ess Buidectc-Coutts and Madame do
StacC for instance, were much older
thnn .thc men they married. . But the
law of nature commonly stauds in
opposition to such unions, lliough it
cannot he denied that the woman
with whom a lad first falls iu love is
very apt to he much his senior. lie
would marry her if she would have
him for a husband, hut sho looks on
hint as a more boy, and usually refuses
to take his lovo seriously. The natu
ral tendency of women to marry older
men seems to be as strong ns it is for
men to marry younger women, else
the amorous lads would receive an
amount of encouragement which
might put the average superiority in
ages on the side of the brides.
Nature, therefore, arranges all that
in a way from which it cannot he
diverted by any review article. Wc
agree, however, that it is best for the
man and for the race that lie should
marry early if lie is to marry at nil.
Any great disparity of age between
husband and wife is a misfortune. It
is better for them to grow old together,
so that in tho usual course of nature
the man and the woman will reacli
tho end without any great difference
in time between them.

A CAREFUL TRAINING. .
As a rule the druggists of the country arc
the most careful people. They do everything
with exactness and never fail to mako a full
confession before expressing an opinion. A
prominent druggist writes:
Eliierton, Ga.
Gentlemen—Please ship by freight another
c«oO of your incomparable Calisayiv Tonic. It
is the only preparation of the kind I have
seen that fully bears out the promises made
by the seller. We guarantee it.
Very truly yours, II. C. Edmunds.
Druggist and Physician.
“Oh, my back!” is a common exclamation,
at:d expresses a world of misery and suffer
ing. It is singular this pain arises from such
various causes. Kidney disease, liver com
plaint, wnstinD affections, colds, rheumatism,
dyspepsia, overwork and nervous debility are
chief causes. When thus ailing seek prompt
relief. It can be found best in Brown’s Iron
Bitters. It builds up from the foundation by
making the blood rich and pure. Leading
physicians and ministers use and recommend
it.* It lias cured many, and if you are suffer

A Woman with Four Professions.
There is a woman in this city who
is ail authoress, a doctor, an artist and
an actress. After breakfast in the
morning she spends a couple of hours
over the manuscript of the story or
essay she has been employed to write.
From 10 to 2 she practices medicine
and receives patients in her office.
She next works at her easel till 6 and
makes pictures for whicli she finds
buyers. After dinner and an hours
