terfered, very seriously, with the ice
cream festival in the Brighton build

Jute scored one yesterday morning
by being snugl/ wrapped around the
first bale of cotton brought to town.
But it was not brought in by an Alli

Have you seen the new cotton bag
ging which the Alliance men are going
to ust? Messrs Mitchell & McIntyre
received the first consignment, several
rolls, ol the new bagging yesterday
morning. Call and sec it.
Quite a number of the delegates to
the Ge irgia Horticultural Society re
turned last evening. They report a
delightful time and very profitable
meeting. The society adjourned
Thursday evening to meet next year
in Port Valley. This is a good selec
tion.
While the contractors and builders
ere at work on the second story of
Wade & Dukes’ brick store in Boston,
yesterday, the wall next to Mallettc &
Vann’s drug store gave "way, falling
on top of the drug store, which is a
one story budding. The roof was
crushed in, but the ceiling slopped the
fall. No one was hurt.
Will Probably Come.
President Lovejoy has been engag
ed for some time in looking around
fbr a first-class man to take charge of
the military department of the South
Georgia College.
“The fight man is virtually se
cured” said Mr. Lovejoy, yesterday,
“Who is he, and where docs he
come from ?” asked the reporter, who
caught the first remark on the “fly.”
“The gentleman’s name is Miller,
Capt. A. G, Miller,” said Mr. L. “He
is a graduate of the South Carolina
Military Institute, better known, per
haps, as the “Citadel Academy” of
Charleston. Captain Miller is highly
recommended by Gen’l Johnson,
Superintendent "of the Institute, and
others. He stood first in his class
mathematics, and graduated with the
rank of Captain of cadets. The gen
tleman has had several years ex per
icncc in teaching, occupying positions
in some of the leading institutions of
the county.”
Mr. Lovejoy, as will be seen,
very much pleased with having se
cured the assistance of Captain Miller.
He will no doubt be found fully equal
to the position.
In this connection, and while speak
ing of the military feature of the col
lege, which was revived at the last
annual meeting of the board ol trus
tees, wo wish to emphnsize the folly
and absurdity of putting boys who
are wearing knee breeches, perhaps,
into uniforms. It is a farce. If there
arc not enough boys, of suflicent size
to constitute a company of cadets, it
would be better to drop the uniform
business, rather than drag in a lot of
“trundle bed trash,” to the discomfort
of the boys, and the expense of the
parents.
The military feature is all right;
but it should be confined to boys
more than knee high.
There are some points worthy of
serious consideration at the hands of
every citizen of the town, in the New
York letter published elsewhere. The
writer’s suggestions are timely, practi
cal aud to the point, in reference to
the park question, the beautifying of
premises, and other questions affecting
tiic growth and prosperity of Thomas-
villo. Read the letter.
The Festival.
Notwithstanding the wet condition
of things caused by the rain yesterday
afternoon, the ladies in charge of the
ice cream festival in the Brighton
building, lor the benefit of the Guards,
were on hand ready to wait on custo
mers, at neat little tables, covered with
snow white linen, and upon each of
which, rested a tastefully arranged lot
ofbeautilul flowers. The customers
in the afternoon were lew and far
between, but whoever heard of Thom-
asvillc ladies, when engaged in a good
cause, getting discouraged? And there
were enough attractions there to draw
a crowd—even through the mud. This
will be apparent when the names ol
the following young ladies, who acted
as waiters, are given: Misses Julia
Stark, Stella Baker, Honorine Mitchell,
Minnie Evans, Mattie Ball, Dena
Mitchell, Lily Smith, Emma McIntosh,
Lily Stuart and George Mitchell.
The room presented a brilliant ap
pearance last night, as the reporter
modestly entered and looked around,
Reporters arc all modest. A number
of the members of the Guards in their
handsome uniforms were mingling
with the throng, mingling, mostly,with
the fair waiters, whose smiles and win
ning ways were simply irresistible. The
boys just marched right up, took their
cream and planked down their change
like little men. The affair would have
been more liberally patronized but for
the inclement character of the even
ing. Wc understand that quite a nice
sum was realized.
He Found It.
A young moke stepped into Mr. Jo.
Foss’ the other day and called Tom,
joe’s assistant and store hoy, into the
back portion of the store.
“Is this good money?” asked the
young Arab, exhibiting to Tom’s
astonished gaze, a twenty dollar hill
and a ten dollar bill.
A briefexamination convinced Tom
that it was good. “Don’t say any
thing nbout this,” said the hoy, turn
ing nud walking out of the store.
But Tom did say something about it.
He told Mr. Fass about it at once,
A short turn on the street and Mr.
Fass found that Mr. J. A. Linton
had lost thirty dollars on the street
somewhere, a $20, and a $10 bill.
The young hoodlum tins hunted up
and the money recovered. Mr.,Linton
gave the boy a dollar for finding the
money.
A Very Heavy Rain
Fell in Thomasville yesterday, about
1 o’clock, and filled our sewers and
streets with running water. At the
intersection of Crawford and Jackson
streets quite a cavc-in occurred in the
newly filled excavations for sewer hut
it is to be hoped no damage was done.

Location for the New Jail.
Editor Times-Enterprise:—I no
ticed your article, some weeks ago, in
reference to the new jail, soon to be
built, and heartily concurred with you
in your choice of site. As stated in
said article, the location is of much
importance, and should be selected
with a view to the future as weH as
the present gqpd of the town. The
site you suggest, to—wit: the vacant
lot between the old white and colored
cemeteries, besides being obtainable
at a less cost, perhaps, than any other,
is eminently appropriate in all other
respects. The lot is amply large, the
location high, dry and healthy, and by
reason of its surroundings would never
hinder or interfere with the future
growth of the town. It has been but
a few years, comparatively, since the
present jail was built. Then it seSrn-
ed sufficiently remote from business
and residences, but how long has it
been an eye-sore, if not a nuisance?
Any similar location, other than the
one you name, it is reasonable to be
lieve, would become objectionable in
a much shorter time. The location
suggested is the only one that I can
think of where the jail would not be
objectionable and injure surrounding
property sooner or later. Here the
present surroundings have already
done their work, and the injury perma
nent. The erection of the jail there
will have no effect upon the surround
ings, neither will the surroundings in
anywise affect the prison. It may be
proper to state that I have no pecuni
ary inlerest in the matter, wherever
the jail may be located, but speak
lrom honest convictions, having only
the good of my town at heart.

PIMPLES TO SCROFULAR.

and Blood Disease except Ichthyosis.
Where Shall the New Jail be Built?
Phis is a question which not only
interests the citizens around Thomas-
villc, but those ol the county as wcl\
'Citizen'’ discusses the question briefly,
but to ihc point, in another column.
His arguments are entitled to the re
spectful consideration ol those in au
thority. The Times-Enterprise has
no interest whatever in any particular
location. Its object in this, as in all
public matters, is, to the best of its
ability, to be a faithful guardian of the
public weal. While not presuming
to be infallible—far from it—we hon
estly think the vacant public lot, be
tween the two cemeteries, is the best
place fbr the jail, lor ihc reasons
already set forth at some length
former issue. It is not much further
than any proposed location back on
Oak or Stephens street. And there
would be less danger of, escape in
carrying prisoners to and from the
court house, from the jail. Broad
street would present fewer avenues of
escape. There has been prepared in
the court house, at the expense oi the
county, a temporary prison, perfectly
safe, where prisoners can be kept
during the day. The site wc suggest
is not valuable for any other purpose.
The title to it is in the county or town-
If in the former, then there need be
r.o expense in buying a lot. And we
learn the cheapest lot offered
elsewhere is priced to the
county at $i,ooo. It is
doubtless worth it; but if the coun
ty has a lot, this $1,000, might be
saved to the tax payers. Rut, if the
lot belongs to the town, it could no
doubt he had lor a very reasonable
uni, as the property is worth blit
ittlc on account of its location. Wc
conceive it to lie a duty to call the
attention of the locating committee to
these suggestions. Of course they
will do what, in their soundest judg
ment, is best for the county. No one
doubts this.
It is proper to add that some of the
most prominent citizens endorse our
views on this subject.
Before dismissing the subject, as
the question will be settled on Mon
day, we would add that the next
best location, in our opinion, other
than the one mentioned, is the old
Colored Academy lot, corner Broad
and Calhoun sts. This belongs, we
understand, to the American Mission
ary Society. .And they want to sell
it.
The Preferred Accident Mutual
Association, Mr. T. N. Hopkins agent
at this place, presents its claims to the
public through our columns. As will
be seen by the certificate of Mr. E.
M. Smith the company is prompt to
settle its liabilities, and offers a rea
sonable scale of charges. There it no
telling when a:i accident may occur,
and it is well to be on the safe side.
See Mr. Ilopkins for particulars.

I have UBCtl the Cuticura Remedies with the
best results. I have used two bottles of tho
Cuticura Resolvent, three bottles of Cuticura
and one cake of Cuticura soap, and am cured of
a terrible scalp and skin disease known as pso
riasis. I had li for eight years. I would get
better and worse at times. Sometimes my head
would he a selid scab, and was at tho time I I»e-
gan the use of the Cuticura Remedies. Mr
anus were covered with scabs from iny e^>ows ,
to my shoulders, my breast was almost one sol
id scab, and my back covered with sores vary
ing in sizo from a penny to a dollar. I had doc,
toi ed with all the nest doctors with no relief,
and used many different medicines without
effect. My case was hereditary, and 11>egan to
think, incurable, but it began to heal from the
first application of Cuticura.
