yield, but it takes all to pay tho

A Reminder.
We were reminded of one of
Thomasville’s most enthusiastic ad
mirers, on yesterday, by the receipt of
Reid’s boa Side Souvenir, sent by Mr.
George Finck, who spent the winter
here the past season. Mr. Finck is
an importer and dealer in foreign
wines and the agent of several Euro
pean lines of steamers. He expressed
himself so well pleased here, some
time since, that he said he was com
ing back and would probably bring a
number of German settlers There is
not a better spot on earth than Thom-
asville and surrounding country for
a colony of thrifty Germans, or other
class of industrious settlers.
Bold Burglary.
On Monday night some one entered
the bed room of Judge A. H. Mansell,
of this city, by placing a barrel and
box on top of it, under his window, by
means of which they unfastened the
blinds, and the window being up -they
took from the room the judge’s cloth
ing, which was carried out and gone
through, taking the sum of $160 ftom
his pocket. The judge had drawn
that amount from the Bank of Thom-
asville during the day, with the inten
tion of paying most of it out in the
evening, but being detained at home,
hearing some motions, Ac., he was
prevented from using the money as
intended, hence had it on his person.
The burglar is evidently of home
production. Some lazy, thieving vag
abond, who prowls the streets, doing
nothing in the day time, and preys
upon honest folks at night. Tracks
of a man and boy were discovered on
the premises, and it is evident that
some man, who uses a boy to go into
the rooms, is doing the thieving which
has become so common here of late.
The thieves were kind enough to carry
Judge Mansell’s clothes and leave
them on the front porch after taking
ihe money. It is very evident that the
thief was aware that Judge Hansel!
had drawn the money from the bank,
and laid his plans accordingly. Efforts
are being made to come up with the
criminal, and if lie is cattgl.t he will
receive his just deserts. In this con
nection we slate that burglary from
the sleeping apartment ought to be a
capital offense.
Ramie.
Mr. J. W. Biggs is in receipt of a
letterfrom J no. M.Tiernan.ol Pittsburg,
Pa , who represents the Ramie Plant
Co , who weie interested in the ramie
culture here, inquiring about the prob
able quantity of ramie that he could
ship and the cost of shipment. The
plant is wanted for the purpose of
working the machines manufactured
lor the purpose of preparing the fibre
for market. Mr. Biggs has given the
required information, and Mr. T.
Millsap, who has purchased the place
from Mr. Fcarn, on which the ramie is
now growing, will ascertain railroad
rates and wire the parties. The letter
from Mr. T'iernan gives the pleasing
intelligence that the company has not
gone to pieces as wc stated some time
since, but on the contrary is growing,
and think of enlarging their business
by going into the culture ol ramie
here, as it has been demonstrated that
it does remarkably well at this point
\Ve shall be glad to note any move
ment in that direction. The experi
ments already made have demonstrat
ed that the ramie will grow here as
well as it docs in France.
Nearing the Other Shore.
Last Sunday week a deeply ini
prnssive scene was witnessed at Har
mony church, just across the county
line, near McDonald. Mrs, Cone,
wife of the late James Cone, was _ im
mcreed by a primitive Baptist minis
ter. Mrs. Cone is between seventy
and eighty years old. Her husband
died something over a year ago, ami
now his aged helpmeet, is putting her
houso in order to meet him on the
other shore. ’Twill he a joyful re
union. Her sands of life will soon, in
the nntural order of things, run out.
With that faith that passeth all under
standing, this venerable woman, hav
ing given her heart to God, now calm
ly awaits the summons to come up
higliot. She is nearing the other
shore.
A Brilliant Scene.
The grounds at Mr. T. C. Mitchell’s
presented a brilliant scene last even
ing. They were lighted up with Chi
nese lanterns,while graceful, lithe forms
flitted here and there, waiting on those
who were present. Numerous small
tables, each presided over by some
young lady, were scattered around.
Miss Dena Mitchell, as “Rebecca,”
presided at the well, while Miss Mattie
Miller had charge of the fancy article
stand. And there were other fair ones
there—many others—whose smiles
were magnets and whose faces shone
with rare beauty and loveliness, as
they were kissed—by the moonlight.
The scene, the picture, the forms, the
—well, the reporter dare not trust
himself further.
Elegant refreshments were ^rved
and sold, and a very handsom*sum
realized, so we understand.
The entire affair was a pronounced
success.
La Tour Eiffel.
Mr. Louis Steyerman shows us two
beautiful views of the famous Eiffel
tower, in Paris, France, which lie has
just received from his mother, mailed
from the top of the tower. One is the
ordinary photograph view of the tow
er, and the other is ti beautiful view,
in colors, on ivory, of the same. This
famous tower is an object of world
wide curiosity and notoriety. Its
base covers four acres of ground, .and
it is a structure heretofore considered
impracticable. Visitors ascend to its
summit, and, as a matter of curiosity,
when there write letters and mail
them there, over one thousand feet
above terra firnta.
Merchants.
Look over your stock and see if you
arc not now, or soon will be, in need
of a lot of printing, note heads, bill
heads, letter heads, envelopes, ac
count sales, blank notes, receipts, etc.,
etc. Now is the time to have it done,
while it is the dull season lor both
ptinter and merchant. We arc pre
pared to do all .kinds of printing at
reasonable rates, in first class style,
and on short notice.
Died.
Mr. \V. J. Howard, the section
master on S. F. & IV. R. R., first
section above ThotnasviUc, on Chatta
hoochee line, died Monday night after
a short illness. A special train went
up alter his body yesterday morning,
and it was taken to Scrivcn county
for burial by Mr. IV. B. Bland. Mr.
Howard was a good man and worthy
official of tho railroad. He leaves a
wife and five children.
The recent reduction in the rnilrtmd rates
In Albany was elteeteil through the rcipirsts
ot rertnin nftieial-, asking the general man
ager? tn give a reduction, Tim ro.-uly run
ning into Albany held u conference through
their general managers, and agreed upon
the rate published, A reporter saw a tele
gram (rum Mr. G. A. Whitehead, of tlicCcn-
Irai, yesterday, saying that the agent here
would lie furnished with the rate sheet as
soon mV they were published- They do not
go into effect until August .“ith.—Albany
News and Advertiser.
You don’t hear anything about
rates being reduced at Thomasville.
Comment would be superfluous.
The Thomasville Timks-Extkiumusk, after
coping the Democrat's article of last week
aiicnt the AlaWima, Georgia and Florida
railroad survey, asks with pertinent energy:
••What docs Thomasville propose to do,

It Pays.
Yes, it pays to put up your fruit in
good shape. Mr. Nat. Hccih informs t
us that he has been very careful in the |
selection and preparation of his fruit 1
for market, and, as a consequence, he
has received good returns. lie has j
averaged 75 cents [ter crate for all |
his shipments, while ethers have re
ceived only from 40 to 50 cents per
crate. This is a pointer—always send
the best fruit in the best shape, and if
you send to reliable parties you will
realize good prices.
Administrator's Sale.
Mr. I'’. II. Butler, us lulministralor
of II. M. Butler,deceased, sold at pub
lic outcry yesterday, before the court
house door, a number of lots in the
town of Boston. Dr. M. R. Mallctte
purchased one block of seven lots, oil

Inspection of the Guards.
Capt. E. L. Wight, of Albany, in
spected lUb Thomasville Guards, at 6
o’clock yesterday afternoon, coining
down on the 5:30 train for that pur
pose. To the rat-a-tat, tat, tat of the
drum the boys assembled on Broad St.
and were formed in line, witen Lieut
Wilder took them in hand and inarch
ed the company around on Madison
street, where the drill and subsequent
inspection by Capt. Wight took place
in front of the Stuart. The company
had full ranks, considering that a
number of them arc absent. The
various evolutions were gone through
with, including most of the movements
and the manual. The company pre -
serted a handsome appearance in their
pretty new uniforms. The drill and
inspection was highly satisfactory to
Capt. Wight.' He was very compli
mentary to the company after the
exercises, saying among othef things
that their movements and appearance
equalled some of the old companies
which recently drilled in Macon for
the prizes offered there.
Quite a crowd of ladies and others
witnessed the drill and inspection.
After the company was dismissed the
officers and men marched into the
Stuart,where refreshments were served.
The social feature of the occasion
was very much enjoyed.
The Guards arc now a full fledged
company, and- will soon draw their
arms from the sta‘c, IVe congratulate
them upon having emerged front their
chrysalis state.
The governor sigued the bill yester
day incorporating the Thomasville
and Cordcle railroad.
Be careful about your picmi-i-s.
