The cheap rates offered by the S. F.

There is oue question that over
shadows even the importance of the
new railroad—that of keeping the city

say t^jpjean up the city. It needs it.

local one. It scarcely rained at Bos

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:

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,

Macon and Americus companies have

Take stock.

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

Smith Avenue to Hansell street.
Now that the avenue is to have water
the next thing needed badly is street

haml and type writing.
Mr. M. K. Reid, of LaG range, is

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

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

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.

Pending the opening of tho pear
shipping season Agent Wilder, of tho

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

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

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.
