If you have ft site for the location ot
the new jail, see the committee on loca
tion. They are looking for Bitch a lot.
If you have any peaches to sell call
on Captain Walters. He will buy by
the wagon load, paying cash.
We have heard some coinplnint
within the last day or two, about the
bottom cotton crop. It iB said to be
very short, in some localities.
The Pear Markets.
As might have been expected the
New York market has suffered from
the heavy shipments of pears made
there. It may be that the quality of
the fruit had something to do with
the matter, be that as it may, the ef
fect of too heavy shipments to any
one market will always be the same.
It does not require tho' ken of a pro
phet to know that South Georgia can
not raise pears enough to glut the
markets that are open to her, if the
shippers will only use ordinary dis
cretion in distributing the crop, aud
common prudence in selecting and
packing.
From the Paciflo Slope.
Col. A. P. Wright icceived, yester
day, a very pretty souvenii from Mrs.
Mattie Seward Johnson, now of Los
Angeles, California. It is a beautiful
white pebble, or rather a stone, as it
is two or three inches in circumfer
ence. It was picked up by Mrs.
Johnson on the shores ot the Pacific
ocean, where the restless tide of that
greatest ol earth’s oceans beats along
its vast shore line. The many Iricnds
of the lady will be pleased to learn
that she is well, happy and doing well,
in the ISIdorado of. the Pacific slqpe.

The
The’Melon Markets.
melon markets in the East
have gone all to pieces. About half
the cars that are notv going forward
do not more than pay freight. The
Augusta melon belt and the South
Carolina belt arc now shipping heav
ily, and a.s they can reach market
much quicker, and at lower rates than
from this section, the day of the
South Georgia melon for this season
has passed.
The prices obtained during the sea
son linve been good, and the proba
bilities arc that the acreage next
year will be largely increased.

The Boston mid Cairo Imse bull clubs met

Editors Timks-Kntkri’Iiise:
In justice to vour paper and its readeis,
us well as to the Cairo Baseball Club, I give
below the game played here last week be
tween the Cairo and Boston teams. Tuesday
ing we played a fixed match. The
game being close, the losing club seemed
ry anxious to play another game. After
ome persuasion on the part ot our defeated
isitors,' wc consented to play n pastime
game. Accordingly, on Wednesday morn-
ng, we picked up a team, partly scrub, and
ayed two innings. The Boston team won
by a score of 5 to 0. ’ .
We leave to the people to judge whether
e or two games have been played.

Editohs Timks-Enteui'JUsi::
While at Newport in attendance on
the American Medical Association
two gentlemen, one from Mississippi;
one from Wisconsin, and myself, were
sitting on the verandah of the “Ocean
House,” watching the passing ami
pleasure-seeking throng.
Chief among them were ladies, of
which, though the season was then
early, there were quite n number, and
all of them were driving their fancy
and splendid teams of single and
double, tandem and three abreast,
shctlaud ponies, renovated mustangs,
and superb trotters, all with tails
bobbed ofl; and all kinds of vehicle
two-wheeled and four-wheeled.
These pretty girls all were graceful
and] skillful in handling the lines
Sometimes there were several Indie:
together, and they chatted gaily,
had a gentleman friend who looked
admiration and attendance, and held
hi* hands. Some had their coachman
(on the scat beside them or on the
rumble behind) always stiff and erect
the picture of formal dignity.
“Gentlemen,” one of its said,
gostod by all this, “the American Wo
man is a queen.”
“Yes, sir,” it was replied, “ihc rich
one surely is.”
She hits as much power, almost, as
if she wore truly a crown; beautiful
accomplished, rich, idle—all bestowed
by either a kind creation or indulgent
parents, in plentiful aud munificent
profusion—slit- has no thought- of
where amL whence it ail comes; no
cares, no responsibilities. SShe only
taxes her brain to deviso new means
of plensttro and methods of entetf/ain
ing. Iu this her success W pre
eminent. . This hy no means implies
that the woman of the day is either
a simpleton in mind or a wreck iu
physique, lor she is an omnivorous
and comprehensive reader, and will
discuss with you current events ol hi.
lory, polities and arts,- ns weH as ex
hibit her familiarity with the deeper
subjects of speculative philosophy.
.She may keep late hours, dress in a
not very common-sense way, but
she will sleep sufficiently next day,
and then take n wholesome and sen
sible airing, driving, riding and exer
cisc nt tennis. Therefore, she is
healthy, plump and muscular. *
•She is a remarkable development
of our country and our civilization.
She dislikes to marry, for that
abridges her pleasures aud makes du
ties and responsibilities. When she
docs marry, a rich old man is the
choice, who can imlulgo her yet iu
her former habits. As an old maid
she is socially shelved, us an old man’s
darling she is yet a ."social queen” ns
much in her forties as when in her
twenties. With all this, she is a good
woman, a faithful wife and the mother
(when she is one) of healthy children.
By all means let this American
queen continue to reign!
When I left Newport, the most
fashionnblc resort of America, and
eamc to this greatest metropolis aud
went into the medical colleges and
hospitals, I met the American woman;
not one, but many. But she is not
the rich oue, who has money iu abun
dance and no thought of the contest
of life. She is one who proposes, with
her brain and energy, to enter into
and sustain herself in the active and
self-supporting realms of toiling hu
manity. She has already graduated
in medicine, aud perhaps hits prac
ticed some, but is here to become
skilled in the special departments and
in the technique which only hospital
observation can give satisfactorily.
She is here in numbers thnt will con
tinually increase, and wc will hear of
her in the future as un aetive worker
in the practical field of medicine.
She, too, docs not expect to marry.
They expect to lte old maids, for they
know that tho active duties of the
physician precludes the possibility of
being either a good wife or a consci
entious mother. Those who adopt
this profession wholly from choice,
will continue it always. Others may
abandon it when they can, but they
arc here and hero to stay. Let them
stay, and let them grow in numbers
and in lcnruing. They arc worljiy
women and worthy physicians, as well
as brainy, and they can hut add to
the nobility of the already noblest of
all callings.
The question need no more he
asked: “What shall wc do with our
girls?” for it is practically already
solved. The rich ones will continue
to spend money, the pour ones will
take care of themselves; in harmony
with that spirit of prudence, self-re
liance and self-intlcpcndenec which
developed and maintained the repub
lican form of government and free
institutions. They will enter every
department of business and commerce
that does not require strong and con
tinued muscular effort; of this woman
is incapable.
These women arc not the great
women, according to the standard of
Napoleon Bonaparte, but ho was a
warrior, and it was France, three-
fourths of a century ago. This is
America of to-day, too enlightened to
have more wars or warriors. What
would the Eastern woman of to day
think if slie could fully know the
liber ty of her sister of America, w ho
enters the professions, all departments
of business, votes, and holds office, too!
IIow all this will affect our social fab
ric no one can tell, nor need express
'individual opinion. But the fact is
patent that all this is here and coin
ing, and will be multiplied and uni
versal ill our country.
Why has all this been written?
This afternoon a formidable and
bloody operation was made^upon a
woman. With the female nurses add
assistants and spectators, Ihoro was
|uilo a preponderance of that sex
over the males. When I was here
some years ago this was not seen. It
is suggestive! But with all this
growth of female self-reliance ami
sclf-assertivcncss they arc Mill irmnai.
Yours truly,

Thoimtsville must have better post
