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. From Colquitt County. Mour.TuiE, Ga., July 2, 188!). Editor. Times-Entertrise: Please allow me space in your col umns for a few Colquitt county items. Crops are generally good, notwith standing the late dry weather. Mr. J. F. Gregory, of this place, will soon have his mill in operation, lie will bo ready to gin all cotton brought to his mill. Mr. Gregory has a fine farm some three miles from town, nnd it is in good condition. The merchants of Moultrio appear to be doing a lively business for the season. Loafers arc having a hard time, the weather being too warm for comfort, and the fish have been about all caught. Yours, etc., Tax Paver. 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 terday morning. The Program.

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. Marriod. Col. John K. Slater, of the law firm of Slater A Ashley, was married on Wednesday, July 3rd, at 2 o’clock, p. 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.
