Leaders of Styles ami Low Prices. 3.09 & 111 11ROAD ST The Boston B. B. C. returned from Cairo yesterday. They • played two games, each club winning and losing one game. They are anxious to try Thomasville again. h The Express Company has already shipped several crates of pears from here. They arc entirely too green to ita shipped yet. AVait a while longer, shippers, and you will fi.ot Ipso any thing by doing so. Miss Sallic E. Jones, of Savannah, is visiting h«e brother, Mr. S. A. Jones, of this place. She is aacotjipa- pied by Miss Annie Delegal also of Savannah. 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 companied them, Mr. M. R. Elder left yesterday af ternoon for Forsyth, where he will join his family. After spending a few days there (boy will go to Kentucky for the summer. _ Attention is called to the advertise- Went of Moreland Park Military Academy; which appears elsewhere. It is admirably officered, and situated near Atlanta, in a line section of eoun try. Fop particulars address Chits, M.Neel, Superintendent, Atlanta, Ga. 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. Up to,filly 1st, 1SSS, lffSO ear- of melons had been shipped from the line ol the !8. F. & W. By.

Too much' rtvn for the fr mers, and tho Into crop of melons w>'l Le seriously Injured. 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.

A r ou will draw part of the dividends and it is nothing but right that you should aid the enterprise by taking stock therein. It is useless to argue this question, tho time for action has conic.

Moral.: Take stock in the road to Cordcle. You will be benefited and it is a plain duty you owe your town. It is harder to ktfop the city clean in wet, than in dry weather. The weather is damp just now. and extra diligence is necessary. Tho work of laying the water pipes on Smith Avenue is progressing slowly. Mr. C. II.
