McCord, of Louisville, is at the Stuart. Roc Edwards, of Atlanta, is stop ping at the Stuart, Mr. E. M. Post, of New Orleans, is registered at the Stuart. Thomasville is in deep, dead earn est about the new road. Mr. Thomas A. Jones, ofSavajinah, was in town yesterday. Rob Thomas has a pet crane. He has named it “Dr.” Mr. F. W. Hawkes, of Nashville, Tenn., is at the Whiddon. Mr. W. R. Graves, of Baltimore, was at the Stuart yesterday. Mrs. Dr. Taylor has returned from a Visit to her father at Camilla. Judge Hansell took a trip down to Montitcllo yesterday afternoon. Favorable reports about the condi tion of the crops reach us from all parts of the county. Clay Wethingtonhas returned irom Florida where he has been spending, some time. Mr. J. J. Grass, of Ehrlich & Bro. Savaunah, was in the city yesterday- morning. Remember that the postoffice, tele graph office, banks and stores will he closed on the 4th. Zeke Hamilton will run a restaurant on Jackson street, in connection with his bar and billiard room. Mr. Mac Clcwis, has moved his bar into Dekle A Cook’s now store on lower Broad street. Thomas county is not going to build a shoddy jail. It will be one of the best in the state. Cashier Smith, of the Bank ofThom- asville, is at work making out the semi annual rptqrn to the Governor,required by law. Every citizen of tho town should onsider himself a committee of one to solicit subscriptions to tho new road. In union there is strength. Hon. Robert Alexander and Capt. C. P. Hansell left yesterday morning at 9:30 for Atlanta. The General Assembly meets this morning in the new capital. Mr. George W. Henderson will spend the “Glorious 4th” in Savannah. The cheap rates offered by the S. F. & W. Ry, will attract quite a crowd to the "I’Qrppt City.!'. There is oue question that over shadows even the importance of the new railroad—that of keeping the city clean. Perhaps it would be better to say t^jpjean up the city. It needs it. Thp Boston |»se foal! clqb pa&pij through the cjty ypstprflay cn route to Cairo to play the local team there. They were confident of success. The rain yesterday seemed to be a local one. It scarcely rained at Bos ton, and very little below here. Capt. George Whitesides and son, pf Apalachicola, Fla., passed through ►he city yesterday en (route home from an important business trip. Mr. J. L. Pringle will leave next week for Nacoochcc Valley, where he will spend several weeks. Thomasville will be well represented at this charm ing summer resort this season. The New Railroad. An independent northern outlet would add one thousand inhabitants to Thomasville within twelve mouths. A FEW REASONS. The reyair and machine shops of the new road would be built in Thom asville. This would mean a large number of skilled mechanics, and a fine monthly pay roll. Do not tiie merchants £S5 something in this? And these mechanics would hare to buy lots and build houses. Do not real estate, lumber dealers and me chanics see something in this? And then these families would have to buy dry goods, groceries, shoes, hats etc. Do notj mercliauts sec some thing in this? And yet there are tiiosc who would reap largely of this increased trade and business, who have not, as yet, subscribed one dol lar to the new road. And mind you, they arc not asked to glee a cent, hut to make an investment, which, if Col. Wright, Mr. T. C. Mitchell, Col. McIntyre, Mr. David Sheffield, Mr. S. L. Hayes, Mr. W. E. Davies, Mr. j. L. Linton, and many others, are not mentally unbalanced, not de ficient in financial ability, not incap able of attending to tlisir own affairs, is hound to pay, and pay handsomely. There is every argument in favor of the enterprise; not one against it. Bold Burglars. The store of Mr. Louis Wilkes, of Bainbridgc, was burglarized Sunday night. Only a small sum ot money was obtained. Several attempts at burglary have been mado in our city during tho last few days, of which we have said noth ing, by request of the parties on whom the attempts were made. Our people cannot he too careful in look ing out for the festive gentlemen making these efforts. A dose of buckshot at short range is about the best remedy for such crimes. Mrs. W. L. Gordon, Principal of the Connecticut Industrial School, leaves this morning at 9.30 for Rich mond, Mich., her old home, where she will spend the summer. Mrs. Gordon will return late in September, and resume her duties. During her residence in Thomasville Mrs. Gordon has made a great many, friends, and they will join the Times-Enteisi’kise in wishing her a pleasant summer outing and a safe return. The Daily Tim ks-E n t k i: i 1 k i k i: ought to find its way into every household in Thomasville. We are furnishing the freshest local and gen eral news, besides columns of choice selected matter, for fifty cents per month, only twelve and n half cents per week, or about two cents per day. Surely cverp one could patronize a home paper, at this price. Are you taking the paper or borrowing it. We know you read it. A newspaper is like a tooth brush; every body ought to have one of their own, *» « — With the light of the experience of the AJacon Construction Company and the Americas Investment Company to guide, the company in ehnrgo of the road to Corde.le will he able to pro tect tho interosts of Its stockholders and of our city ns well. Both the Macon and Americus companies have made money and the Thomasville company can do the same. You can come in now, share the direct profits amj the incidental gains as well. Take stock. Thomasville is bound to keep cool, and the Latonia Ice Company is doing its part in the good \yqrk- Manager geiier told a Times Enterprise re porter yesterday that the business of the company for the present season shows a fine increase over that of last year. West & Fearn have the neilcst private pffjce in the ci(y, and what iqakes it more altractiyc is the pleas ant fact that the desks, railings, Ac., are all Thomasville products.

Agent Will Stegall ; cf Metcalfe, informs us that i 4 cars of melons have been shipped from that place this sea son, and that 10 or 12 more will he sept ojl b^fpfe file season clhsea.' Closing Exercises of_-Jackson Street School. r The exercises of this school Monday evening at the city hall were highly enjoyed by those who attended. Ev erything went off well, each speaker seeming to feel what he or she said, and threw their whole souls into it. The opening piece was spoken by little Lizzie Carter, aged five years, who spoke without any hesitancy, though the house was crowded. It is impos sible to speak of each ore individually, but all did well. “Papa comes home” was sung by Hattie Daniels in a pleas ing way. William Powell also sung a solo, “Good Bye, till I sec you Again." The teacher, Mr. M. J. Jones, deserves credit, and should be patronized by his people. He is trying hard to build up his race. A Nuisance, In the rear of Cook & Bro’s. store, and adjoining that of II. Wolff & Bro., there is, whenever it rains, a pond of water that might he utilized as a lake, were it not that the water is too freely impregnated With the un pleasant drainage from a series of sur face closets in tho near neighborhood, to he even available for aquatic sports. When the hot sun comes out, this water is taken up by evaporation and leaves a deposit that is neither pleas ant to the nose, nor wholesome to the body. This matter has hecu spoken of fre quently, and complained of time with out number. It ought to receive the immediate attention of the authorities. It is a nuisance of tho first miter. The Rc-Union At Bainbridgc. It is unfortunate that a special sched ule could not be arranged, leaving Thomasville on the morning of the 4th, and returning in the afternoon. To go by the regular train will spoil three days, which will prevent anything like a general attendance. Our best wishes arc with the vets. Party To-Night. Some of the young gentlemen con nected with the dramatic cantata, “Trial by Jury,” have kindly tendered a party to ihoir lady friends, and it will he given at the residence of the Misses Stark, this evening. A very pleasant programme has been arranged, which, with choice refreshments and other features will make the occasion one long to he remembered. The Times-Enthri'KIhk is getting out the annual catalogue of tho Scutli Georgia College. The attendance last term was larger than over before, and the outlook for the ensuing term is very flattering. A basket dinner in Paradise Park to morrow would uot be an inappro priate way of spending the great National Holiday. Will not ladies of the city take this matter in charge? The Guards aro hooked for a drill and like all soldiers they will not object to refreshments. Twelve months from to day those who fail to tako stock In the new road, will regret their oversight. Take time by the forelock and forestall possible regret by taking stock in Thomasvillc’s newest and best enter prise. Excavation* were commenced yes terday to lay the water mains down Smith Avenue to Hansell street. Now that the avenue is to have water the next thing needed badly is street lights. Joe Dryer left yestc r day for Atlan, la to lake a position as typo writer in the legislature. Joe, by careful practice and constant study, has made himself quite an expert both in short haml and type writing. Mr. M. K. Reid, of LaG range, is tlt_T.il This will he sad news to the many friends of the young man in Thumasvillc. None knew him lnit »u like him. It will be remembered that ho was connected with the firm of II. Wolffe & Bro..for gome time last win ter, The Graphic pays a beautiful ami deserved tribute to the memory of die deceased. Mr. M. N. Haynes, v,lio bought a plage two miles from the city on tho ‘(Greenwood” road, has started a mod el truck farm, and is having wonder ful success in growing tho genuine Boston beans. They grow more lux uriantly d'.an in their home in New England. Even tho vgudo.fr of pea nuts, aud hoot-blacks, are interested in the new road. In the Lone Star Slate. The Times-Enterfrise has the programme of commencement exer cises of the Kouth East Texas Male and Female College, of which institu tion two Thomas county young men, D. C. and W esley Peacock, arc at the head. The college is in a flourishing condition, 15!/ students having attend ed tho last term. Our county is proud of the young men she has sent to help build up the educational interests of the Lone Star State. Rev. Geo. W. Mathews end little son, of Fort Valley, are visiting Rev. G. G. N. MacDonell, cn route to Tal lahassee. Mrs. Ilawkins, who has been spending some time in Marietta, re turned home yesterday afternoon. Mr. W. R. Pittman will ship two cars of very fine melons to-day or to morrow. Parties that have seen his crop pronounce it the best of tho year. The work of layiug the sewer pipes along Jackson street is progressing nicely and in a few weeks the work will he completed. Mrs. William Miller and family leave this morning at 9:30 by way of Atlanta, to join Mr. William Miller, in Nacooclieo Valley. Mr, and Mrs. Miller will remain among the moun tains several months. The rains arc making the pears grow rapidly, and the fruit promises to he unusually fine this season, If the price is proportionally good, the growers will bo happy. Pending the opening of tho pear shipping season Agent Wilder, of tho Southern Express Company, is taking the full benefit of the light business of the office. In a few weeks he will have his hands full. The Thomasville Gun Club had a practice, shoot yesterday afternnon. The number of good shoots is sup pressed by request. The wooden shanties on the south side of Jackson street will soon he a thing of the past. But few tears will be shed over their fall. It'is folly to attempt to paint the lily or to lend additional fragrance to the rose. It would be equally useless to state at length the advantages that will come out of the new road. They are potent as day and plain as duty. To secure the new' road our people must take slock in the company that is being formed. Do not put this duty off for day. 'The Hubers were in town yesterday with a big lot of wool. By the way, they are among the most prosperous and successful farmers in Colquitt county. The General Benevolent Society will meet at the rooms of the library, at o o'clock, on Wednesday evening. 'A full attendance is requested. Dr. F. B. McRae made 63 profes sional visits during the month of June, by invitation of the General Benevo lent Society. This society is doing much g'ood among the poor of the city. How is It? Editor Times-Exteufkisk: IIow do you repogoik 1110-1111 and i»th section* of tho proposed new char ter for Thomasville, with the 1st sec tion article 2d, of the Constitution of the State of Georgia? The constitution, as I understand it, prescribes the qualifications for voters in (it! election* by the jtcop/e. One of these requisites is that the voter shall have paid all his taxes- ex cept for the year of the election. The new charter requires the voter to swear upon registration that he lias paid all hia taxes, except for the year of his registration. Tho registration hook closes on the first Monday in December, and the election of city officers takes place in the succeeding January of a new year. I f registration is the only qualifica tion of voters so far as taxes are con cerned, then a man may vote at the municipal elections who has not paid his taxes ior the year of, nor the year preceding the election, There may he some satisfactory explanation of this matter; if so, I hope you will give it. Citizen. Wo commend the point mado by our correspondent to the city fathers, ft would seem that the inconsistency spoken of arises from an oversight, which can lie corrected before the charter becomes a law. The colored people of Ashbury Parle, N. J., are very much excited over the question of their rights as American citizens. Some of them attempted to attend an entertainment in that city the other night, gotten up by white people, and they were not allowed to do so. In fact, they hardly entered the hall when they were kicked out The republican organs of the bloody shirt stripe will observe that this did not happen in the south. It happened in a northern state. The Savannah, Americus and Mont gomery railroad is now a broad gauge from Americus to Abbeville. The first standard gauge train left lor Abbe ville this afternoon. FRESH FAt.L_SF.EDS! Cabbage, Turnips. Beets, Lettuce, Ac. S. J. OASSELS, 118 Broad St.' Two Uttle Girin, I have two little girls—one two and the other four years of age. They were both very badly afflicted with eruptions on the face and neck. Sometimes when they would strike the sores against any thing they would bleed as long as ten minutes; they were, in fact, so painful that we had to tie up the hands ot the younger with solt rags to prevent her trom scratching off the flesh. They suf fered in this way for about eight months during which time we tried several rem edies without any relict. Seeing Swift’s Specific recommended highly,I discard ed all other remedies, and bought one bottle of it and gave to the children and it cured both sound and well, and they are now entirely free from any trouble. There is nothing as good for blood and skin diseases as S. S. S. W. L. Woodward. Bowling Green, Ky. LOWER BROAD MILLINERY.
