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. NOTICE.

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.

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 train to catch a glimpse ot Sherilf AIc- Rae, of Quitman, and the man Rosenthal, hut they were not on the train. ^Tliomasvlllo, Georgia* t£l will bo gird to mako contracts f<>i tlio construction of all classes uf buildings, pub lic anti private.
