Rain—caterpillars—bad— farmers mad—nobo dy—glad—sad. The good people of Meigs had a big pic nic yesterday. What will cotton open at? This is a question which interests the farmers. The failure 10 run a train to Green Shade this morning is a disappoint ment lo a great many. A plain gold locket was picked up on Broad street yesterday. The own cr, by describing same, can recover the locket by calling at this office. Mr. Jack Curtright leaves this morning for Atlanta. lie wtll bring bis trunk back with him. No 7 was several hours late yester day afternoon. This sounds kinder familiar like. Marshal Spair put in some needed drain pipes in the neighborhood of Young street, yesterday. The pear evaperator at Cairo is run day and night. And that’s where Cairo is ahead of I'homasville. * The rain prevented a party of ladies and gentlemen from going out to the river yesterday afternoon, Irom the Stuart. Dr. J. A. McKee and wife have gone west, to Indiana, where they will spend some time visiting rela tives and friends. DJr. John Douglas, who has been with the Roddenberry’s in Cairo for some time, has gone to Houston, Tex as, where he has a position with the Southern Oil Co. It will not be very long until the wanderers will be returning—turn ing their faces homcw'ard, ■ turning them toward the land of the pints. Let them return and all will be for given. Cotton pickers will soon lie in de maud. By the way, what has be come of the Mason picker ? CufTce still holds the fort in the Helds of cotton. And he’s likely to hold it for some time to come. Henry Sanford was re-clected vice ’resident of the Georgia Horticultur al Society, for the 2nd., district, at the late meeting in Griffin. {This was deserved compliment. Mr. Sanford is a pioneer in the business. He Ims done as much as any man in the state to promote and encourage horti culture. That Lawn Party on Tuesday Night. “You can say,” said n charming young lady, who is very much inter ested in the success of the lawn party at Mr. T. C. Mitchell’s, on Tuesday night, as she sank into tho office chair reserved for ladies,(the Times Ester I’RISE office keeps a chair set apart especially for the Indies) yesterday morning, “that we nrc going to make the affair a pleasant one for nil who attend. The lawn will be lighted up with Chinese lanterns, and the choic est ices, ice cream, cake, <£c., served by bewitching maidens. Then, after these refreshments have been served in the open air, an entertainment will follow in tho parlor. This will .be the crowning feature of the occasion. O, I forgot to say,” continued our fair informant, “that a number of fancy and useful artie’es will be sold nt aiiC' tion during the evening.” By this time she was out of breath; recovering it, however—interregnums in a woman’s talk are always brief— she continued: “And say that the children and others who cannot conic after nightfall, will be expected he tween the hours of 5 and 7 o’clock. After an intermission of one hour, at 8 o’clock, the real trouble will begin. Let me see, is that all?” she musingly said, at this stage. “O, I have forgotten to s.ty that Mr. Charley Williams is - going to play auctioneer for us.” With this last information the fair vision disappeared, leaving an aroma of heliotrope and the ripple of a little laugh behind, as she looked hack and saw the confused look of the reporter, who had not, by the way, been able to get n a word edge-wise, during the time. The reporter’s pencil was soon bus ily at work, while Miss [stepped across the street to match a piece of ribbon to he worn at the lawn party. No Exoursion. An earnest effort was made to get a train for Green Shade to-day (Sun day) but it has been impossible to do so, the road being unable to furnish the cars on account of some excursion on lower end of the road. This is to be regretted, as a large number of our people would have been glnd to have attended the camp-meeting, who can not do so if they nave to reninin over two nights on regular schedule. The Electric Light Co. Messrs. Reynolds, Hargrave & Davis, who arc largely interested in the Electric Light Co., for Thomas ville, arc in receipt of a letter from the Thomson-Houston Electric Co., in which they say that Mr. Btiilcn, the gentleman who is to have the poles put up and the wires placed, will be here very shortly and go ahead with the work. The Thomson- Houston Co., arc very much behind with their orders, and hence the delay so far. Mr. Hargrave informs us that the poles arc all ready for erect ing, cross bars ready, dinamo ready to put up, and that the light can lie turned on, he thinks, l>y 1st Septem ber. We shall Ire glad to sco it. Improving. The S.. F. & W. R. R. is filling in the crossing on Jackson street at the railroad (that is, the space between the rails) with rock. The workmen commenced on yesterday, and the work will be quite an improvement to RAILROAD RACKET. the crossing. The Reunion. Mr. Sam Hayes returned from Fort Valley Friday evening, where he had gone to attend a reunion of the veter ans of the old Third Georgia. He reports a delightful time, and speaks in terms of highest praise of the hos pitality of the people of Fort Valley. He was the guest of Mr. Henry Har ris while thete. The reunion was a perfect success in every way. In noticing the temporary change in the presbyterian pulpit yesterday, the statement was made that "Mr. Clisby would occupy Mr. Herbener’s pulpit during the latters absence.” \7t should have excepted the second Sabbath, upon which Mr. Clisby preaches in Boston. The drummers Saturday night con tingent gathered at the Stuart last night. They are a jolly set, and num ber nineteen strong. The Clarion notices the marriage of Miss Mary Rigsby to Mr. J, T. Dollars. It might have been abbre viated thus : Miss Rigsby to Mr. $. Well, she's got a "dollar” to start with, any how. Now let her take care of the dimes. Is the Richmond and Danville System Backing the Augusta, Tallahas see and Gulf. Last Tuesday, Mr. Blake, of New Vork, president of the Augusta «fc Carrabcllc Rail way (Augusta, Tallahassee aird Gulf), and Colonel Wm. Bailey, ol St. Louis, general manager; Attorney D.K. Walker, Jr., ami En gineer Cook, returned to Tallahassee from Carrabelle, where they had been on a tour of inspection of the road, says the Apalachi cola Times. Colonel Baily has hut recently connected himself with the road, and has assumed full charge of the entire work from Carrahelle to Augusta, Ga. He i^^gominent in Western railroad circles, and it is claimed that he can control a large sum of money in this enterprise. Certain it is that lie telegraphed Mr. C. P. McCormick that the money necessary to build the road had been secured, and to meet him in Tallahassee. Mr. IkCormick obeyed the telegram and ar- rivefnn Tallahassee Monday last. Mr. Mc Cormick will be the chief contractor. Mr. Baily expressed himself as being very much pleased with the route from Tallahassee to Carrahelle. Mr. Bailey further said that lie would build the road, and nt once. The Tal lahassee people are .very enthusiastic over the turn of affairs.' It is whispered that the Richmond and Dan ville system is at the back of Uiis enterprise. Certain it is that nego tiations have been pending in that direction. Everything now points to the road being pushed through with a rush to Augusta.— Floridian. Will Thomnsvillc, as in the ease of the extension of the F. R. & I?, sys tem, allow this line to go around her? There was a time, ami not long ago, either, when the main line of the F. R. <fc N. could have been brought by Thomnsvillc. But now it is generally conceded that the system will seek an outlet by another route. Will the "do nothing” tactics be re peated in tile case of the road from Carrahelle to Augusta? There seems to be a fatality, an unfortunate fatali ty, shadowing Thomnsvillc, in the matter of railroad connections. We literally threw away a golden oppor tunity to make this a competitive point, by not bringing the Central to Thomnsvillc, when the road was built from here to Albany. Fatal mistake. Every one sees it now. Again, Thomnsvillc might have, years ago, covered tho territory—the short line from here to Monticcllo—making this a competitive point in thnt direction, giving the place a new and competing lino into Florida, also giving her two additional lines of steamships to New York. But she slumbered on, and the gap is filled, leaving the place, where it has always been, in the grasp of one corporation. The record is not a creditable one to the men of Thom* illc. And we record it with a feel ing of sincere regret. But will wc learn anything from the past bitter experience ? It is to be seen. “Willing Workers.” This society, composed of the yoiia ladies and girls' belonging to the Methodist Sunday school aud church, will give a lawn party at the resi dence of Mr. T. C. Mitchell, next Tuesday night. Refreshments will be served, and the choicest kind, too, at moderate prices. The occasion will bring most of the young people of the town together. That it will be a very enjoyable affair goes without saying. Every boy in town is expect ed to bring his own sweetheart—or somebody clse’s sweetheart. Remem ber that the entertainment comes off on Tuesday night. * Grand Gala Day at Pablo Beach. Wc learn from Mr. Van Dyke, the ticket agent at the depot, that lie lias been instructed to sell tickets to Pali- lo Beach on the 0th, for 83, round trip ; tickets good until the 9th. Par- lies however, can, by applying to the ticket agent at Jacksonville, have time extended to the 12th. Tickets will be good on any trains. I’ahlo will he an attractive place, on the 7th. TJ)erc will be some fine horse racing, bicycle tournaments, Ac., during the day, and a grand bail at the magnificent hotel nt night. ^ | $ The rain, and consequent muddy conditipn of some of the side walks yesterday, emphasizes the necessity ot the completion cf the concrete wf Iks on Broad St. Very little work will complete the job. This ought, by all. means, to lie attended to before winter conics around again. Cairo, according to the Record, has chilis, fever and mumps. Kim RENT. I can rent the resilience now occupied l.y Mr. II. Woltt, on lower Dread street, at $20 per month. Possession given Sept. 1, 1889. augt- ELI M. MALI.KTTE. Church Chimes. After a week of worry and business cares; a week of striving and strain' ing; a week of fighting life’s battles, the chimes of church bells will call saint and sinner to the calm, restful sanctuary this morning, where, forget ting tiic world, communion may be had with God ; communion with Him who said : “Come untoAle all ye who arc weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Hutv the music of these Sabbath bells peal out, reverber ating o’er hill and dale, penetrating even the heart's chambers with their soft melody, awakening memories of the long ago, melting the past into the present: the past with its joys and sorrows; the present with its cares and responsibilities. Sweet, peaceful, restful rest; how the tired, throbbing brain and exhausted body will gladly rest; rest from busy thoughts and physical labor. "The seventh day thou shalt rest." Divine ordinance, gracious law', how many weary hearts has it soothed in the sweet calm of the Sabbath day ? Life’s tired toilers lay aside their burdens ; and O, how heavy some ol them arc ? and rtst on their journey, ’neath Sabbath shadows. How grateful they are ! The sons of toil and labor, refreshed and strength ened by the wayside, will take up their burdens again on Monday morning ; take them up where they were laid down on Saturday night; take them up for another week. But another Sabbath, with its peaceful rest, will soon come around again, and another, and another, until, finally, the great Sabbath of rest shall dawn, when earth’s weary pilgrims will enter upon an eternal Sabbath, where there arc no tired brains and aching limbs. Happy day ol final rest! It may dawn for some to-day, to-morrow, next day, or the dav after. Who can tell? "Be ye also ready.” What We’re Trying to do. Will you take time to stop and think—between your Sunday morn ing meditations—that you are reading a right live, progressive paper? "You are getting up a good, reada ble paper,” said a gentleman yester day. Coining from the source which it did, the compliment was appreci ated. Aud yet how few think to say a word, a kind, encouraging word, to tlie editor who conscientiously tries to get ti|i a readable paper,one free from malice, slander, back-biting, and mat ter unsuited to the family circle? We’re trying to make the Times- E.NTEKritiSE a clean sheet, a welcome visitor to every household, a paper, every line of which can he read to wife, daughter or sister. Geo.
