Judge Bower passed through the city yesterday, en route U> Albany, where lie was going to transact some business in chnmbers. \ ; Suggestive. The followiqg letter has been re ceived at this office and the request complied with: Cortland, N. Y., July 25, ’89. Dear Sir:—Will you please send me a copy of your city paper, that I may get an idea of the business done there before I come to stay, and oblige. Respectfully, ,, J. A. H. It is with reluctance that we have to admit that the paper will be but a poor index of the business of Thomasville, to the shame of its business people be it said. In that paper the gentleman, will sec only about twenty business firms, besides eight professional cards, which is the sura total, to the outside world, of the business done in Thom asville. This is exceeded by every way station, almost, on the line of the S. F. & W. R. R., that has a lit tle newspaper, and yet, as an index to the business of our city, our paper has to go abroad, representing the place as a veritable village. In point of fact there is within the sound of our voice almost, within eye sight of our office, ninety-seven busi ness firms, doing business in Thomas - - ville, not to count numerous .smaller stores on side streets, and manufact uring concerns not on the main streets. Of the sixty-nine business houses and firms who are not represented, four- fifths of them are amply able to, and would be benefited in a business way, by advertising, and probably -would be shocked at the thought that they were doing their business, the town, and our paper particularly an injury by the thoughtless and un businesslike way they have of getting along. Now in all candor we say to them, they are not doing theirdutv. Thomasville . has gotten a name abroad ns a thriving, live city. It has gotten that name by reason of the gratuitous work of its newspapers, more than anything else, and it is time that some one else should bear the burden, nt least in proportion to the benefits derived. Wo dp not.wish to appear in the attitude of begging for patronage, but there is not a man in Thomasville that will not admit the importance of its newspapers. In the name of common sense then, don’t bank on our business capital arid en ergy, but da your part towards mak ing your city paper a credit to your city. The way to do this is to have your name appear in it. You will find us prepared to give you liberal rates to enable you to do so. Tool Livingston and J. II. Harris left yesterday morning fbr down country to catcli “bar” and alligators, taking in a few fish and smaller game for amusement and pastime. The Baptist church has voted its pastor, Rev. W. J. Williams, a vaca tiou of several weeks, whieh lie will spend in Kentucky with Mrs. Wil liams. He will not go until after Sunday week. Wc learn from engineer Griffin, of the S. F. & W., that agent S. W. Rabbit, at Faccville, stepped into n ditch near the depot)at that place, on Sutiday night, and broke his leg. Mr. Win. It. Pittman left yesterday morning for up the country. He will take in*' the Horticultural Society meeting at Griffin before returning. And The rain signal is still lip. the cry is: Hold up! we’ve had enough for the present. Rain, at this season, is good for caterpillars; niici caterpillars are bad for cotton,- Several members of the Horticul tural Society leave this morning for Griffin, where they will attend the annual meeting of that body. They are armed and equipped with fine fruit, vegetables, etc. Wo. learn that Mr. Green Lewis will ship this year sixteen hundred crates of LeConte pears. His returns arc averaging fifty cents per crate. If this price is maintained, and it doubt less will be, Mr. Lewis will realize from his pear crop $800. Who says that LeConte pears are a failure? Wo are pleased to learn of the progress being made in the large school obtained by Mr. C. W. Hollo way, at Moultrie, Ga. Mr. H. was formerly a student of the South Geor gia College, and will perhaps return and resume his studies .here next term. We wish him success. Mr. John A. Philpot, who has been •taking a course in Moore’s Commer cial University, has returned home with his diploma. Mr. Walter, who is still in the University, is expected home in a few days. In Unity There is Strength. The experience of our fruit growers this season, and in fact every past season, has demonstrated the import ance of, and necessity for, concert of action in disposing of our crops of melons, pears, grapes etc. Thomas county is bringing the culture of these articles prominently forward, and has demonstrated that there is big money in their cultivation; hut, unfortunate ly, from outrageous freight charges in some instances, heavy charges by com mission men in others, and a want of concert of action on the part of ship pers, thus glutting the market and throwing excessive quantities on the markets, it 1ms been a rarity that any great money has been made in the business. Now it has been demonstrated that .we can make the fruit at such cost as to be very remunerative, if properly sold. The means to this end would seem to us a combination of fruit and melon raisers in Thoinasvllln (as we ship a great deal from here), in other ^ords, a "Fruit Exchange,” under the management of some competent man ould, by wire, keep himself fully posted as to market, prices, stock on hand, etc., and determine the points most desirable, as to ship- ping. _ This plan has worked well in Flori da in the growing of oranges; and it has worked well and been the means of saving of vast amounts of money to the growers. Lot the exchange be ready for business another season, properly organized and officered, with its Northern, Eastern and Western agencies, and by concentration and judicious distribution of the crops, regulate the supply so as to bn witliin the demand. Ample money can be had here to handle the crops, and there - could be no better point for the exchange. Let our progressive fruit raisers move in the matter this fall, so as to be ready for active business an other season. Our columns are open for the discussion and furtherance of the measure. Looal Bill. Elsewhere appears a notice of a lo cal hill for the protection of deer, wild turkeys, quails and partridges. Th% bill will provido a clinuge, so that deer shall not lie killed between Oct. 1st and March 1st, instead of Oct. to April, ns in the old law, and in refer ence to turkeys and quail from Nov. 1st to March 15th, instead of Oct. to April 1st, as in the old law. Thanks. In taking my leave ot the good people of Thamasvillc I desire to re turn my sincere, thanks for contribu tions and kindness received trom both white nnd colored. I shall bear them in kindly remembrance until I return again. Respectfully, R. Anderson, Baptist Missionary Agent. Some of our citizens arc getting interested in having a canning fac tory established here. We arc glad to see this. It would bo a big thing for Leon county farmers. It would give us cheaper canned fruits and vegetables, and the farmers and fruit growers a home market and hotter prices for their fruit and veg etables. By all means let’s have it.— Tallahasscean.

A man is never in a more debilitated con dition thnn when he has Weathered a case of measles. The system finds it hard to bear up under the weight of the disease and almost rebels against the strain upon it. And yet there is a remedy which answers the requirement of such a case. A prom- nent druggist and physician >yitcs: Darlington, S. C, Gentlemen—Your tonic has been going very well tins spring. There has been a good deal of measles, especially among the trtct<*ry operatives, which left them in a deb ilitated condition, for which your tonic seems to lie the very thing, and it has sold well. .Yours truly, John A.

Two more months of hot weather means two more months of bargains in summer millinery, and that means money saved to buyers—25 cents to 50 cents on every dollar. I was not advertising for others last week, only illustrating that the cash principle was a success, whether applied to groceries or millinery. I illustrated another fact, that people do read advertisements. Look for next week's announcement. I will commence quoting articles and prices that will surprise you.
