Build a road from Thomasville to Cordele, and it will be a vital link be tween two great systems. Both will want its business. Mr. S. Atkinson, of Albany, died very suddenly on Friday night. Mr. Atkinson had many relations and friends here who will be grieved to learn of his unexpected death. Local Matters. The reporter was shown an interest- ingjold relic at Jerger Jewelry store yesterday. It was a solid silver waiter- dipper of an old style, with handsome engraving and raised work upon it. The relic belongs to Mrs. T. S. Paine. Messrs. Snodgrass & Smith are having a fine sale for their pear crates, as they should. They arc made at home, and arc as. good as the best, to say the least, of it. Reracm ber.them, pear shippers, before you place your orders. Rally around—not the flag—it is in no danger—but around your town. Some men have seen their property double in value here, and yet they do not come forward now to do some thing for the town—for the town which has done so much for them. One or two irate citizens were the war path yesterday, hunting for the man who said it would rain every day this month. It will go hard with the prophet of evil, if he is caught. It is supposed that lie has fled, as noth ing has been heard of him for two days. the Western and Atlantic (owned and controlled by the state) bears to At lanta and the state. It is a check, a balance wheel, an equalizer to the big systems, which, but for the state road, would swallow up everything. THE STUDENTS SAVED HIM. A Negro in Thomasville Dies and is Brought to Life Again By the Dissecting Knife. This morning the rain fell in tor rents, and dark, gloomy looking clouds overhung the city. A party of drummers were sitting in the Ocean Hotel rotunda, some mentally and openly expressing their opinion' of the weather, while others tried to make the time pass pleasagly by telling humorous anecdotes. “ Finally the clouds grew darker, and as the" spirits of the merriest ones of the party fell by degreen, the anec dotes changed from the humorous to the-pathetic. One young fellow who looked to be about twenty years of ago, sat intent ly gazing into vacancy, with both ears pricked open as if to catch every syl- ablc that "his companions uttered. As a drummer who sported a heavy blonde mustache concluded an awe inspiring story about the recently re ported grave robberies in Atlanta, the young man who had been so strangely silent heretofore, spoke up and asked the crowd if they had heard the story about the two young medical students who make their home in Thomasville. None of his listeners were acquaint ed with the story, and he proceeded with it, He said: “That recently two young men who had been off to some distant State attending a medical institute, returned home in all their glory of plug hats, patent leather shoes and the latest style collars, to gether with the self-consciousness that what they did not know about the human body, simply was not of enough importance to study. They took the town by* storm, and were the adored of the adored. When they would begin to relate their expe rience in dissecting a body, a*crowd of open-mouthed admirers would be sure to congregate. A short while ago a negro died near that city, ami the. students con ceived the idea of securing his body and giving private instructions to a few of their intimate friends. A va- An independent road from here to Cordele would bear the same relation — —- — . to Thomasville and south Georgia that the Western and Atlantic fowned and *. i ;„tn The Now Gulf House Leased. The papers for the lease of the new Gulf House have been signed. Mr. S. T. l’hilpot is the lessee, and the term of lease-is for ten years. The new Gulf will he handsomely fur nished, supplied with all the modern conveniences, and, under the manage ment of Mr. Philpot, will retain all of the popularity that belonged to the “Drummers’ Home,” as the old Gulf was called, under his care. The window casings, doors, wains coting, and in fact all of the inside work of the new Gulf, will % bc made and cut to fit at the Thomasville Va riety Works, aud all that is required after it is carried to the new building is to put it in place. Architect Gunn is superintending tl^ work on the new Gulf, and he is doing it iu a very thorough way, as he docs everything that he puts his hand to. Boiled Down; From the Times-Entcrprisc, June JOtli. “Let us start with the road from here to Cordele; others will follow. We cannot believe that the business men and citizens of Thomasville will longer pursue a do-nothing course. They have pursued this course to the very brink ot danger. There is time yet, however, lor her to protect herself. But the time is short. Territory is being occupied, lines arc being con structed and built in the interest of other points, which, when completed, will virtually bottle up the town. This can be averted now—but it may be too late, even in a few weeks ot months. Whatever is done should be done now. The situation is critical. There’s no use of denying or dodging the fact. More than two mdlions of taxable prop erty is at stake here. Every man, woman and child in the town is inter ested. With an independent line from hero to -Cordele, owned, controlled and operated in the interest of the town, we would be out of the woods. The time for action has come; the time lor talk has passed.” A large vat was procured, and into this n solution of prepared stuff was poured, which was intended to pre serve the body and keep it in its per fect state. “The crowd formed a pool end paid the expenses incut red in securing the body. “To make a long story short, the grave was opened, and the corpse taken’out and placed in the vat. “Everything was kept quiet, and the students met that night in the room, where they were to receive in structions. The body was floating around on the surface of the water, its face upturned and wearing a nat ural expression. It was taken out and the dissecting knife drawn. As the knife touched the supposed corpse’s skin, a shudder passed over its frame. " “The students were alarmed, but one ot them, braver than the others, attempted to cut again. As lie did so another shudder was plainly seen and a low moan issued from their vic tim’s lips. One of the students bolted out of the door and the rest followed. “The next morning one of their number was detailed to visit the house and see if the corpse was alive: He did so and brought back the startling intelligence that the house was uuoc cupicd. They kept their adventure quiet, but began to make inquiries concerning the negro, when it was learned that he was alive, and barring the gash made by the dissecting knife, perfectly well. He owed his life to the students, but has never yet had the opportu nity of thanking them, although lie has been tryiug ever since to discover who they were. “The question now worrying the minds of his friends is, was he in a trance when he died, or not? This ease and the recent death of Bishop, the mind reader, lias served to make the doctors in that,vicinity more care ful iu issuing their burial certificates.” The story told by the young drum mer biought to the miuds of his hearers several instances where per sons have been buried alive aud af terwards resuscitated, but none ol them were revived by such means as in the case narrated above.—Bruns wick Daily Advertiser. This illustrates the old adage of go ing front homo to hear the news. There is not an ounce of truth in the whole story. The body of a negvo who was executed recently here, was, we have learned, dissected by some members of the medical profession, the condemcd man having made that disposition of his body before being hung. But this negro is certainly doub ly dead; lie was hung, and subsequent ly very thoroughly dissected. If he is trying to find the man who cut him, it is in tlie spirit, not in the flesh. That dreamy looking young man is a pretty good romancer. lie will prob ably bring up as reporter on some newspaper. Educated Farmer Boys. The following may not hold true in all cases, but as a rule, it is gospel truth. It was written by J. F. Ord for the Nebraska Farmer, and ought to be stored away in every boy’s scrap-book of memory, where it will be easy of access: An educated boy will plow a straighter furrow, do more work with a team without hurting them, will not water them when they are too warm, will feed them regularly, and change their feed occasionally. He will put his implements in a shed when he gets through using them; he will rotate his crops on his land; he will keep the best grades of stock; he will he kinder and take more interest in his stock and know what kind is the'most profitable to handle; he will not always Iced his hogs on corn alone and keep them in a yard where there is a rotten straw stack for them to lie in; lie will get his implements fur Ins spring work ready fur use in the winter and not wait till the fine day comes when lie needs to use them; he will make a live man—a happy man; he will feel a real interest in the plants around him; he will have an assortment of apples in his orchard: he will’bc a belter neighbor; and hav ing had some experience and observa tion in his youth of other titan farm surroundings, he will be able to appre ciate freedom and his comforts, and knowing that he is well off when lie is so, he will be a much more content ed tpan. ,. ... ... . , Curoa Prickly Heat, and dialing, is highly porlumod and Doraclno la a superior toilet and nursery powder.

It is now positively asserted , that the president will call an extra ses sion of Congress in October. The first work of his party in the house will he to amend the rides so as to give the majority greater power in hurrying action, aud then to turn out a suffi cient numb.er of democrats to give the republicans a reliable working major ity. In deciding contested election cases, the Republicans will only ask Thatl Stevens’ question, “Which is our d—d rascal? (Jhatmcey M. Depew, in his address at Yale College, said that “the true lawyer rather prevents than encour ages litigation.” What the,world needs is more true lawyers. There is a big and growing surplus of the other kind on hand. The administration lias contracted for 550,000 bricks to lie made in England, for the congressional library building, giving a reason for this preference for foreign-made brick that they arc “f!io cheapest and best.” And yet the party of the administra tion prevents the people of the coun try from buying “ilic cheapest and best" foreign-made goods, by levying on them protective duties so high as to work prohibition.—Atlanta Journal.
