h The Express Company has already

shippers, and you will fi.ot Ipso any
thing by doing so.
Miss Sallic E. Jones, of Savannah,

pied by Miss Annie Delegal also of

The first dividend from the new
road will come to the merchants from
money spent by the hands working
on the line. The merchants, therefore,
ought to make liberal stock subscrip
tions.
No Paper To-Morrow.
Editors ami printers are not unlike
the rest of the world, they need rest.
Indeed it might be said that they
need it perhaps worse than the rest of
the world.Business will be suspended in
Thomasville to day, and the Times-
Enterprise force will join other peo
ple in celebrating tho “glorious 4th.”
There will, therefore, be no paper to
morrow morning.
A Burglar Caught.
Marshal Hurst, of Cairo, came up
j-esterday morning witli John Ander
son, in answer to a telegram to arrest
him. John is a little negro boy about
fourteen years old, and was arrested
for burglarizing the house of Allen
AA r yche, of this placee, also colored,
who drives an express wagon. AVyche
is treasurer of the Colored Aid Society,
and the thief entered his house Sun
day night and secured $40 belonging
to the society, besides $15 of AA’yche’s
own money.
The police have been quietly work
ing up the case, resulting in the anest
of the boy yesterday, who confessed
the crime. About $20 of the money
was recovered, the balance he had
made way with. lie was lodged in
jail.
Take This as Pointer.
Before the Georgia Southern and
Florida was built to Valdosta, the
melon growers on tho line of the S. F.
& AV. Ry., in Lowndes county, paid
the lntter corporation $G0 to $75 per
year rental forcach private side track.
Now the=e side tracks are furbished
free, and in cases where the rental had
been paid the amount has been re
funded. Take this as a pointer, truck
growers, and subscribe for stock in
Thoniasv :, Ie’8 new road.
In the City.
Gen. P. M. B. Young, who : sto ad
dress the veterans of Decatur county
in Bainbridge to-day, was in the city
yesterday, the cue si of the Stuart
House. He was accompanied by
Mr. T. J. AVardcll, formerly ofllaiu-
bridge.
Through the kindness of the S. F.
& AV. railroad officials, a special train
was furnished Gen. Young to lake
him over to Bainbridge, which lclt
here last night at 8:20,
The Guards.
The Guards will mccl at theij armo
ry this morning at g o’clock for a drill.
At 4 o’clock in the afternoon they will
drill in Paradise Park.
Mr. T. J. Horne, one of Mctcalfe'i
leading melon growers, was in the
city yesterday. His crop lias been
above the average.
.budge Hopkins did not allow the
rain of yesterday to cast a damper
over his /.cal for the new railroad. Ho
was talking up stock with success.
You may not believe it, blit it is
true, that the moment the new road
is assured Thomasville anil Tfionjas
county real estate will advance twen
ty-five per cent.
Thomasville realizes the fact now,
if sho never did before, that she must
depend upon herself. She 1ms been
a long time learning the lesson, but
she seems to have learned it thor
oughly. The acquisition of this
knowledge comes not too soon.
It is not generally known, perhaps,
that Georgia is the possessor of no less
than three capitol buildings: two in
Atlanta and one in Millcdgcvillc. It
would thus appear that tho state was
prettj well off in the matter of Capi
tols.
Mr. G. B, Maxwell, of AA r higham,
was in the city yesterday. He placed
an order with the Thomasville A’nricly
AA r orks to make him one hundred
washing machine.
Mjsscs Bessie Joiner, of Quitman,
and Miss Alice Groover, of Uroover-
villCj-Tvho have been spending com
mencement with friends in the city,
returned Tuesday night. Misses las
sie Carroll and Rena Bouchellc ac

Mr. M. R. Elder left yesterday af

All About Umbrellas.
A gentleman who has recently been
made the victim, a number oi t.ines,
of the umbrella taking habit, a habit
which appears to be common to all
classes, climes arid conditions in life,
requests us to write a series ol articles
during the summer on the subject of
taking umbrellas. The field is an
inviting one, and we should be glael to
lend our well known talent to the
work, would be glad to accommodate
our friend, but it would hardly be pru
dent for us to pursue that line ot thought
and argument. While wc would, at
all hazards, defend the reputation of
our subscribers lor integrity and honesty
in most things, yet, when it comes to
talking about taking umbrellas, the
chances are that wc would be treading
on the toes of a good many of our
patrons. Our friend will see, at once,
that this would place us in an awkward
and very embarrassing position.
“You can stop my paper,” Mr.Smith
would say, the first time he met us.
“I believe I will take the Bugle
Horn of Liberty, and stop the Times-
Entf.rprise,” Ilrown would say.
“It is too expensive to take more
than one papei, and as I have sub
scribed for the Iiald Knob Bladder,
you may stop my paper,” would say
Jones.
And in every one of these instances
the trouble could be traced to talking
about people who take umbrellas.
No, no; wc cannot afford to attempt
to reform the world in this respect.
It would break down any country pa
per in the United States. A'ou see it
won’t do to buck against the majority
—the masses. They’ll down you every
time, if you commence criticising ibis
long established habit. A great many
think the habit is inherited—handed
down-from father to son, for successive
generations. Be this as it may, we
cannot take the chances of leclurng,
perhaps the majority of our readers,
on a habit which all tradition teaches
us lias prevailed for centuries, in fact,
since umbrellas were first introduced.
Wc should like ve.y much to reform
the world in this, as well as in some
other respects, but the job is too big,
the contract too extensive a one. True,
the press is said to be hMiower, but it
has never been known to check this
evil, though editors and newspaper
people have suffered heavily by the
habit. Suffered more, perhaps, than
others; for the reason that they always
carry the very finest silk umbrellas,
with gold beaded handles the latter,
not unlrequenlly, inlaid with diamonds
and other precious stones. 'Ilie loss
of numerous umbrellas, like those just
described, tempts us to sail into the
public, but prudence whispers “don’t,”
and so our friend will have to excuse
us, AVc’re ready and willing to tackle
hydra-beaded vice, and bad habits, in
almost any form, but we cannot, nay,
will not, attack a large portion of our
distinguished fellow-citizens. It would
be suicide. No man would be tolerated
or countenanced in any community
after making such an assault. AVe’rc
not a candidate, just yet, for universal
proscription. F.very man must con
tinue, so far as wc are concerned, to
look out tor his own umbrella. As for
passing a law on the subjective would
as soon expect the Georgia legislature
to pass a dog law. The situation is
embarrassing. The only chance to
keep even is to take some other fellow’s
umbrella. Thi sort of retaliation is
bad morals, but there are many exten
uating circumstances
AVe again express our deep regret at
not feeling justified in complying with
(he request alluded to at the optset,
but our friend will sse how it is himself.
He has our sympathies, but that is all..
AVe frankly confess, however, that
sympathy does’nt pan out much where
a man has lost a new seven dollar
umbrella, but it is a 1 ' wc have to offer,
And in expressing this warm sympathy,
we would not be understood as reflect
ing on the gentleman—far be such
thought or intent from us—who took
tire seven dollar umbrella. He is
doubtless one 61 our subscribers.
Melon Shiprnnnts.

melons had been shipped from the

Tho Thomasville Opera House.
The Dramatic Timqp, published in
New York, in a late issue, says:
“Two of the most prominent cities
in the South, Athens and Tliomaa-
villo, Ga., have new opera houses, and
are represented in this city by Mr. J.
Tuimunbaum. The new opera house
in Thomasville, Ga., (built last year,)
has done a very good business. Such
attractions as Jim the Penman, An
nie Pixely, AVilson’s minstrels, Ac-,
have played from $500 to $600 a
night. Thonu'sville is the great win
ter resort for Northern tourists.”
AVe arc pleased to learn from man
ager Reid that the outlook for busi
ness the coming season, is very flat
tering. With a reliable and thor
oughly posted agent and representa
tive in New York, like Mr. Tannen-
baum, the Thomasville opera house will
secure some of the best talent on the
road, and will be protected from
second class trupes. This latter con
sideration is a most important one.
It is the object and aim of the man
ager, to engage only first class plays.
And the public will, no doubt, show
their appreciation of this determina
tion by a liberal patronage.
Postponed.
Owing to the inclemency of the
weather last night, the party that was
to have been given by the young gen
tlemen of the “Trial by Jury” company
at Miss Julia Stark’s, was postponed.
Fourth of July Shoot.
The Thomasville Gun Club will have
a sweepstake shoot this morning at 9
oclock, at the club grounds, beyond
East End. Turn out and see the boys
shoot.
The AVtiycross opera house will be
finished by Nov. 1. ft will be 95x55
feel, and three line .storerooms will be
fitted upon the ground tloor. Those
have already been rented for $30 per

AA’liat have you done in aid of tho

nothing but right that you should aid
the enterprise by taking stock therein.
It is useless to argue this question, tho
