Don’t lose sight of the road to Cor-
dcle. It will give us connections nnd
advantages which no other line could.
Watermelon rinds make fairly good
feed lor hogs, hut as a material for
paving streets they are a failure.
Have we not an ordinance against
throwing them on the streets ?
The dilapidated horse that onla
mented Jackson street Sunday morn
ing furnished an excellent text on the
benefits that would follow the enforce
ment of the law against cruelty to nn-
imals.
Hon. Isaac Alderman, of the. 17th,
was in town yesterday. He reports
crop prospects very flattering, not
withstanding the fact that too much
rain has fallen within the past few
days.
Yesterday, and Sunday too, every
groupc indulged in a discussion of the
Sullivan-Kilrain fight. Sullivan
was the iavoritc, though many ex
pressed the hope that Kilrain would
punish the slugger badly.
Will Mitchell was voted captain of
the marooning party to Florida just
berorc leaving yesterday. He will
serve until the first hunter in the par
ty kills a bear, and then that fortu
nate gentleman will assume com
mand.

What Our Members are Doning.
Thomas county’s reprpsentives in
the General Assembly are not idle.
Hon. A. T. MacIntyre, Jr„hns intro
duced the following bill:
“An act to classify the convicts of
the State of Gooigia; for the separa
tion of snid classes. The separation of
the colored from the whiles: for the
separation of the sexes, for the separa
tion of the whipping thereof, and for
other purposes.
It provides that it shall be the duty
of the judge'of the superior courts of
this state, in passing sentence upon
criminals, convicted of any offence in
this state, punishable by confinement
in the peniteutiary, to classify the
same, distinguishnig the crimes in
volving moral turpitude from those
not involving moral turpitude, point
ing out in said sentence to which class
said criminal belongs or is assigned,
by said judge.
It is shall be the duty of the keep
er of the penitentiary to keep said
classes separate; also to keep the
white and colored convicts separate,
and that all his assignments of said
convicts shall be made specially with
a view to’this end.
As the constitution of the state of
Georgia (iocs not allow whipping for
the punishment of crime, it shall not
be lawful for any lessee, or his em
ploye or employes, or the keeper of
the’penitentiary or his deputy or dep
uties to whip any convict classed as
one not involving moral turpitude.
Any convict classified ns convicted
of a crime not involving moral turpi
tude, that may hereafter be whipped,
shall have the right to sue and recov
er from the lessee of such convict, or
from the keeper of said penitentiary,
if not leased, such damages as aro al
lowed in other cases of trespass of like
character.
Hon. Robert Alexander has intro
duced the following:
“To amend the charter of the towu
of Cairo, Thomas county, Ga. Also
to incorporate the Thomasvillc and
Cordelc railroad company.”
Letter From Tate Springs.
Dear Ti.mes-Enterprise: After
leaving Thomasvillc on the morning
of the first, I joined my family at Ma
rietta. where they were in waiting for
the continuance of our journey to this
point. We reached here yesterday at
6 p. ni., having broken the monotony
of the railroad trip by spending an af-
noon and night at Chattanooga with
our friend and former townsman, J.M.
Hardaway. It will be a pleasure to
John’s old friends to know that be is
fast forging to front rank of bust-
tUss in his adopted borne. The
time is in the near future when not
only Thomasville, but Chattanooga,
will be proud of him. He is certainly
a successful man.
While at Chattanooga we visited the
summit of Lookout mountain over the
new railroad. This road runs back
and forth along the side of the mount
ain, rising higher until the very top is
reached. The engines are large and
pow-crful and take up Pom one to three
coaches at a time at the rate of sixteen
miles an hour. It rAninds us of the
ladder of fame and fortune. It is a
struggle to climb it, but even after the
top rung is reached, how easy to come
down.
Upon reaching Morristown we were
met by Clem Tomlinson’s commodious
hacks. They took us to the spring, a
distance of eleven miles, over the best
mountain road we ever saw, with such
ease and even gait that it was really
pleasant rather than tiresome, as most
persons expect it to be. Throughout
the whole distance our attention is so
attracted by the magnificent mountain
views and valley scenes that we lost
sight of our mode of conveyance and
are lost in contemplation of the grand-
uer of nature.
Long before wjj reach the spring,
perhaps a mile distant,we catch glimp
ses of the new hotel. Inadvertently
we attempt to urge forward the strong
fat mules, which have thus far proven
themselves worthy of trust in every
way. A feeling of Satisfaction comes
over you; you know that within the
portals of so modern a structure you
must find all that is necessary for the
gratification of your soul’s inmost
longings. The hotel is reached through
a beautiful, shadowy, grass-carpctcd
lawn, and our anticipations are real
ized.
The house is on an eminence in this
pretty lawn of clover and blue grass.
It is built on the order of many we
have seen at the watering places on
the Jersey coast and is among the
prelticst of them all. It has, in con
nection with the numerous pleasant I
cottages and the old hotel, a capacity
of about five hundred guests.
The climate seems all that could be
wished for; this morning it is too cool
for summer dress and the air is brac
ing and balrny. Of course I cannot
yet speak from experience of the wa
ter, but on every hand comes glowing
accounts ot its remarkable efficacy.
This section affords as # good a cli
mate as any for those sickened in lo
calities of less altitude, but the propri
etor adopts that proper method of
“operating on facts.” He claims most
efficacy for the water in dy^epsia and
only recommends it for those cases in
which years of actual trial have proven
its virtue. A gentleman in Atlanta
who has long watched the effects of
the water, said to me; “I do not be
lieve any one could visit Tate Spring
without benefit. If the healthiest man
alive would go there he would im
prove.”
Do not forget to send us your paper.
We arc always anxious to get it.
Yours truly,
J. G. Hopkins.
Bhcrifl C, D, McRae, of Brooks
county, passed through the city Sun
day night with Rosenthal, the melon
swindler,'who was captured in Atlan
ta. Rosenthal expressed a fear that
violence would he done him by the
people of Quitman.
No cases in the Police Court yes

Attention Road Overseer’s 637th, District-
You will see by order elsewhere
from the road commissioners of this
district, that all roads in the district
arc ordered to be put in first-class
condition by the IO1I1, of August.
This order means business. It will
be enforced by law—if necccssary.
As a rule too little attention has been
paid to the public roads of the county.
They should be wcll ke.pt up. Every
citizen of the county is interested.
Hands and all others should promptly
and cheerfully co-operntc with the
commissioners and overseers in their
efforts to keep up the roads of the
county.

m., to Miss Pearl Smith, Elder J. S.
Lamar officiating.
The marriage was a quiet one, and
was solemnized in the presence of the
relatives of the contracting parties and
a few chosen friends. The newly
married couple took the cast hound
fast mail a half hour after they were
married, and went on an extended
tour. They will be away about six
weeks.—Valdosta Times.
The high contracting parties have a
great many friends in Thomasvillc that
send good wishes after them on their
journey through lile.
A New Book.
* Scraps of Songs, and Southern
Scenes” is the title of a volume just
issued by Montgomery M. Folsom.
There are some gems in it. Mr. Fol
som has captivated the literary world
with his songs and sketches. There is
a touch of nature in them, a vividness
and rythm about them which places
him among the foremost writers in the
south. The author is a wire grass
product, and wc hope his new volume
will find a ready sale. It deserves it.
Mr. James Holloway, a cousin of
the author, has the agency, and would
be pleased to introduce the work
throughout this section.
John Randolph Harper.
Secretary of State N. C. Barnett
has received a letter from Mr. Wm.
Hudson Harper, of Chicago, asking
for information concerning his father.
He stated that the latter John Ran
dolph Harper, was a southerner and
Georgian, returning south at the out
break of the war, and serving on the
confederate side until the close, wheu
he died. The sou wants the war record
of his father, and asks to know wlurt
regiment he was a member of.
City ok Mexico, July 6.—The Mex
ican press is making fierce attacks up
on the scheme to settle colored emi
grants from the United States in Mex
ico, and asks the government to he
patriotic and not to countenance it.
The senate started the hall in mo
tion on Friday by adjourning over
until Monday.
