A Big Contract Made—A New Industry,
Jim Reid and AVill Alitchell, who
arc to be of a marooning party going
down the Suwannee river next week,
have already engaged, and agreed to
deliver to the purchaser upon their
return, oho bundled aud thirteen alli
gator skins. They stipulate that the
idlest shall not measure less than
three feet and four inches in length.
The well known reputation of these
gentlemen for complying tilth their
contracts, and their acknowledged skill
in slaying alligators, leaves but little
or no doubt about the terms of the
contract being carried out to the let
ter. It is one of the largest contracts
of the kind made for years. AVe
understand the parties purchasing will
send the skins North, where they will
be worked up. The trade in alligator
skins has grown into very considerable
proportions. Dealers, or speculators,
desiring to purchase alligator skins, of
unusual size, and in large quantities,
would do well to address cither one of
the' gentlemen mentioned, at Thomas-
ville. They have been engaged in
the business for several years, and are
thoroughly reliable in their dealings.
If necessary they will give gilt edge ref
erences. They solicit corrcspoudcnce.
It might be of interest to dealers to
state that in killing'alligators they
never break the skin: they invariably
shoot them in the eye. And this has
given their hides an additional value
in the market. The Timks-E.nter-
I'rihf, is always ready to commend
and encourage any home enterprise,
anything which develops the resources
of the Houth, and it takes special
pleasure in commending the efforts of
Alcssrs. Alitebcll and Reid to develop
tiiis purely Southern industry. Their
example is worthy of imitation. The
young men of the South have, too
long, neglected to develop and utilize
the wealth of this fair sunny land of
ours. Of course this is hut one line
of industry we have under discussion;
there arc others, many others. Let
the young men of the South throw off
their lethargy, like the gentlemen
above mentioned have done, start out
and kill alligators, or do any other
honorable work, and the country will
soon blossom like the rose.
Since the above was in type we
learn from Air. Reid that a joint stock
company lias been organized to carry
on tin! business. It will be incorpo
rated under the name of the “Alli
gator Skin Company.” The incorpo
rators are Afessrp. J. AV. Reid, AV. II.
Alitebcll, C. II. Voting, Alitcli Jones,
J. If. Davidson, C. P. Hunscll, Bryan
AVriglit and George A\ r . Henderson.
The gentlemen are all well known
experts with the rille, and they can
command any amount of capital nec
essary to carry on the business. Their
operations will covet the Suwannee
river, a portion of the Ochlockoncc
river, Aliccosukie, lamoncc, and
other lakes and water courses in
Florida. It is confidently expect
ed by the gentlemen that their an
nual dividends will be, at least,
fifty per cent on the amount of
capital invested. This organization,
and the results which will flow from
it, points to the gradual extinction of
the alligator. As the Buffalo has
almost entirely disappeared from the
AVestern prairie ;, slaughtered by the
relentless rillcpian fur his hide, so is
the “gator” gradually disappearing
from Southern waters, being killed by
the'hundred for his scaly skin. His
deep bellow will soon be heard no
more.
A Freak.
Air. AVm. If. Benton, a prosperous
farmer six miles east of town, lias left
at the Tines-Enterprise office a
freak of nature. It is an ear of corn
with a cluster of over fifty well-devel
oped shoots, from the one stem.
Thomas county is usually to the front.

Lectures on Temperance.
The AVoman’g Christian Temper
ance Union of this city have secured
the services of Rev. Henry D.Howron
to lecture in behalf of the cause so
dear to them. Mr. Howreu has only
recently been rescued from thraldom
of strong drink, aud began his tem
perance work in Charleston, S. C,,
where his addresses were spoken of in
words of high commendation. He is
a brilliitnt young man, and has been
connected editorially with some of the
leading papers in Georgia and Charles
ton. Since his conversion he lias lec
tured in the principal cities of North
and South Carolina, and now has en
gagements covering the chief points in
Florida.
His lectures will no doubt be in
teresting and instructive. He will
deliver them at the Aletbodist church
on Tuesday and AVedncsday nights,
July 9th and 10th, at 8:15 o’clock.
The lectures will be free and the pub
lie is cordially invited to hear them.
Romance of a Ring.
Something like three years ago Airs.
Jerome Bcrnheimcr, of New A ork,
spent the season in Thomnsville, at
the Piney AVoods Hotel. AA’hile re
turning to her home, and when near
the 196th mile post, a few miles west
#f Dupont, she was bathing her face
in the lavatory. On her finger svas a
plain gold ring, inscribed J. B. to G.
E. The ring dropped off and passed
out through the waste pipe, aud was
found by a countryman. Airs. Bern-
heimer at once took steps t> recover
the ring, and Capt. Roe Bullard, one
of the cleverest conductors on the line,
took the senrch in charge. lie was
assisted by other officials of the road,
and it has been found aud forwarded
to its owner.
Some weeks ago a notice appenred'
in tbo Times-En'tei:prisk of the find*
ing of the ring. This notice was copied
by the Alaeon Telegraph and caught
the eye of Air. Jake Emanuel, an
uncle of Mrs. * Bernheimer, and so
after many days the ring found its
way back to its owner.
Among the Churches.
Rev. G. G. N. AIcDoncll will oc
cupy his pulpit at tlio Aletbodist
church this morning. After the ser
mon the Holy Sacrament will ho ad
ministered- Sabbath school in the
afternoon at .8:30. Rev. R. O. Smith
will preach in the evening at 8 o’clock.
Rev. J. II. ITcrbcncr, pastor of the
Presbyterian church, will conduct the
usual services. Sabbath school in the
forenoon at 9:30, preaching at 1.1 a.
m., and nt 8 p. nt.
At the Baptist church the pastor,
Rev. AV. J. AVilliams, will prcacli at
11 a. m. and 8 p. m. Sabbath school
at 9:30 a. m.
The services of St. Thomas Episco
pal church, Rev. C. I. LaRochc, Rec
tor, will be conducted over Library
Hall. Preaching at 11a. m. and 4
p. m.
Pear Shipments.
The shipment of pears during the
coming week will he heavy. If the
first few cralcs that leave here were
all the crop, aud if there were no
other pears to follow, it would be good
policy to ship the pears before they
are grown, but ns there are more
pears to follow this year, and for many
years to come, it is a short sighted
policy to rush the fruit to market
before it is grown.
Railroad Racket.
The building of the road to Cordcle
will in all probability bring several
other lines to Thomasville. But the
building of the line to Cordclc is the
necessary step to the securing of these
new roads.
Air. Reuben L. Rockwell, who has
a place with AV. B. AIcll & Co., Sa
vannah, is in the city, spending a few
days with “the old folks at home,”
Miss Minnie Andrews, of Montgom
ery, passed through the city last night
on a visit to her brother, near Met
calfe.
*‘AVay down upon the River.”
Messrs. J. AV. Reid, AV. H. Mitchell,
J. H. Davidson, C. II. Young and
George AV. Henderson leave to-mor
row morning for a “maroon” down the
Suwannee river. They will be absent
about ten days. Jim Reid lias prom
ised the Times-Entekit.ise a bear
skin.
Capt. Tom Lake spent the day with
hh family in Camilla.
Rail Road Racket.
Air, If. S. Duval, who is in charge
of n F. It. & N. surveying corps, : s hi
camp at AVhigliatn, twenty-one miles
west of Thomasville.
' The F. R. & N. is bound to find
an outlet and if the new road to Cor-
delc was bu'lt, there is but little doubt
but that Thomnsville would secure
another connection wHl^all of Flori
da.
Take this as a {whiter and make
the building of the Cordcle road a
certainty by taking stock m the com
pany that is to birld it.
The road to Cordcle would do
Thompsv"'c rs much good r : the
transfusion of good, rich, healthy
blood into the veins of a sick person.
Thomrsville langtrshes because she
is cut oft from competitive ra f :s. The
road to Cordcle w”' give us such
rates, and give them at once.
Said a prominent "merchant yester
day, “I w"' do iny part towards the
new road.” This line of po) : cy carried
out by our people would insure the
building of the “connecting Ink.”
“Do your part.” Tb’s ! s the golden
rule that applies in nil matters of
public interest p. ul benefit. You
would not be content to absorb the
benefit of other people’s cflor's, with
out helping to bring about the gener
al good.
It has been said in the past, with
what truth it is not necessary now to
discuss, that the rich men did not
come to the front with as much liber
ality as they should in matters of
public enterprise. In the subscrip
tion of stock to the Cordelc road this
will not apply. They have or, their
part. Do yours and within a twelve
month Thomasville will he the rail
road center of South Georgia, towards
which ail new lines wi) 1 point.
Help Him Find His Sister.
Thirty years ago Charles Stuatt,
colored, was carried from King
George county, Virginia, to Alabama.
Afterwards lie came to Thomas coun
ty, Georgia, and is now a thrifty tent
aud on the plantation of Air. II. J.
MacIntyre, a few miles south of
Thomasville, AVhcn lie left Virginia
ho had a sister Sarah, who with her
parents, Amy and AVilliam Stuart,
were owned by Charles AVliiftieton,
near Edgchill, P. O. King county,
AGrginia. Charles lias heard nothing
of his sister in the long interval of
years, and is anxious to know if she
is still living.
Newspapers in the South aud es
pecially in Virginia, can do a
worthy colored man a great service if
they will give this notice publicity.
Help him find her.
The Reunion at Bainbridge.
A ' Times-Enterpuise reporter
learned yesterday from Col. R. Cl.
Alitchell, who attended the A r cterans
Reunion and Barbecue at Bainbridge
on the 4th, that in spite of the inclem
ent weather a good crowd, from 2,000
to 3,000 people were in attendance.
Gen. A’oung made a fine speech, and
the veterans who wore the grey uni
forms from 1861 to 18G5, and who
now wear the grey but by time, en joy
ed the day, as only old soldie;.: can.
The ranks of the South’s soldiers
are growing th’-ner year by year, and
it is a pleasant custom to crll them
together, not with the sound of drum,
hut by such pleasant occasions as that
at Bainbridge.
The Columbus Ledger lias this
mention of a young lady well-known
in Thomasville: “Alias Theresa Grant
left on Friday for New York, where
she will eont'nue her studies n music
under the direction ot several of the
most noted ar. sts of that city. She
will reside with her aunt, Aladam-
oisellc Brousil, who charmed-so many
Columbus music-lovers with her vio
lin during the past season.”
The writer acknowledges the re
ceipt of a piece of new music by Airis
Grant,entitled: "The Chattahoochee
Valley March.”
Aloore & AVilliams, of Thomasville,
are putting the'r grounds in readiness
to establish their brick plaut here.
Soon there will he lively scenes in that
vicinity, and thousands of brick wi 1 '
be moulded daily,—Monticello Trib
une.
A TiMKs-ENTF.itPitiSE reporter was
at the depot on the arrival of the 5:20

Rae, of Quitman, and the man
Rosenthal, hut they were not on the
