As will lie seen by reference to Dr. McRae’s card, lie has been suddenly called away from the city. Mr. E. M. Mallelte has rented the Wolff house on lower Broad street to Rev. N. B. Ousley, of Cairo. The Rev. Mr. Ousley will make Thomas villc his home after September ist. With the laying of a few hundred of feet ot water mains, from Jackson street up to a point nearCapt. Paines, the work will cease fot the present. The mains will be extended as the demand lor water may justify the work. Miss Annie Williams, who lias been the guest of the Stuart for some time, left on Friday evening tor hi r home in Gainesville, Florida. The bright presence of the voting lady will he missed by her Thomasville friends. Captain Shuck Whittaker, who is the youngest man in town (during Mrs. W’s absence), has joined the Benedictine club at the Stuart. Cap tain Whittaker, Dr. Taylor and Mr. James A. Brandon, make a trio of model husbands—while their better- halves arc absent. They make out as if they were mighty lonely. Dr. A. I*. Taylor returned yester day. ' He left his family, Miss Ben nett, Mrs. Taylor’s sister, and Miss Florric Pittman, on St. Vincent’s Island, fifteen miles from Apalachico la. The Doctor says, while it is a very quiet place—only one family 'living on the island—it is very pleas ant and healthy. Rev. Win. J. Williams will preach his last sermon, until after his vace. tion, to morrow. He will leave for Kentucky oil Monday, where he will join his wife. The action of his con gregation in unanimously tendering him a vacation for two months, unso licted, is no doubt very much appreci ated- lie has been earnest and zealous in his labors, ns preacher and pastor. Ilis congregation, and friends general ly, wish him a pleasant stay in old Kentucky, A Card. En. Times Enterprise — Allow me space to notify my friends and patrons ol the receipt of an unexpected tele gram, calling me to the bedside of a sister, near Lumber Citv, very low and not expected to live, and hence will be absent from the city for, I don’i know, Low many days Hurriedly. F. B. McRae M D As Good as Thomasvillo. Toboken, Aug. 6.—Mr. Gaut Grant, of Davenport, Iowa, has bought the Chalybeate Springs. Mr. Grant is an experienced bqtel man, and understands the business thor oughly. lie will spend about thirty thous and dollars in improving the proper ty. The large hotel will be heated with steam, and steam baths provided. He will in the course of a year have the springs opened, winter and sum mer. Mr. Grant considers the climate there as good as that pf Thomas- vjlle, and will spare no pains of ex pense to improve the place and make it attractive. A Faithful Officer. . Mr. J. F. McCann, Receiver of tax returns, having completed his work, and forwarded it to the Comptroller- General, is in receipt of the following letter: Atlanta, Ga., July 29, 1889. J. F. McCann, Es(j., II.-T. It. Thomas Co.: Dear Sir—Your digest for 1889 received and I find it made up in the neat, correct and business-like manner which characterizes all of your hooks. The increase is especially gratifying, and stamps Thomas as one of the most progress ive and prosperous counties in the state. Very respectfully, W. A. WjpniT, Comp.-Gen’l. This is a graceful and deserved tri bute to an able, efficient and consci- entjous officer. Roll ’Em In. Mr. D. S. Dixon, ot Dixon Bros., of Iamonee, was in town yesterday, and informs us than hey will have a wagon load of cotton in next week. In a very short time our streets will be lively with loads ot the fleecy staple, and we take occasion to say to our planting friends that, while our merchants are too modest to advertise the fact, they will pay as much for cotton and sell them goods as cheap as any one in this section of country. Bring your cotton to Thomasville. Are We Protected ? Editor Times-Enterprise—It is an old ar.d just maxim that taxation and protection should be reciprocal. We have plenty of the first, but are we getting much ol the protection? Our homes are raided by burglars, while we sleep, and no citizen lies down at night feeling that lie is safe, or that the protecting arms of the officers ot the law are extended over him or his property. Our city lathers arc doing much in and for the town, but is not die present need ol protection more pressing and important than any work they are doing? I am not finding fault with them, but I would impress them with the actual necessity of speedy action in this matter. Our town seems to lie the home of a gang, who woik up the town and then go around for diversion to our neighbors, but returning to this as-the great center and the richest ft . Id for their rase-lily. Will not our city fathers do something on this line, and do it quick? • CmzEN. Cotton Bales in Cotton Bagging. Thomasville received her second bale ot cotton yesterday, grown and brought in by Mr. W W. T.inton. It was carried to the warehouse of Evans and MacLean, and classed strict midling, weighed 393 lbs, and above all, it was handsomely clothed in substantial, clean, while cotton bag ging. A real Georgia production, and goes as in evidence that our far mers, if they want to be, arc perfectly independent of the jute bagging and the jute swindling trust. This is the first bale raised in Thomas county, and we are glad to say that it comes up to all the requirements; a full fledged Alliance banking —all cotton — bagging and all. Messrs Mitchell and McIntyre, we understand, has the cotton bagging for sale. The bale was sold to I, Stoyerman and Bin. at 10 1 2 cents per lb. He Has to Explain. Mr. James F. Evans, Clerk of the Water Works, was around interview ing parties who are taking water, yes terday. About one hundred patrons are to be seen Paying for water is a new thing in Thomasville. .Mr. Evans says he has to spend a great deal ol! time with almost every one who is j taking water, in explaining the where fores, the whereases and so forth. It'! wc remember, correctly, slips were printed, and liberally distributed, giving the various rates charged for water some time ago. A brief study of one of these slips, by ihosc who are taking water, would simplify mat ters and ?avc a good deal ol time. Death of a Good Man, We regret to see by the Southern Christian Advocate, that the Rev. It. f(. Gee, who was in the South Geor gia Conference as the supply on the : Mars Hill Mission in this district, died j at his home near Faircloth port office last week. Mr. Gee was an old con- ■ federate solder, a colonel in the late i war, and a man who served his God | and country faithfully to the end. 1 He Ipaves a family, of wife and sever- 1 al children, and a large circle of i friends, as well or hjs three churches J to mourn his death- A good man has < gone to his reward. She Thought It was a Burglar, The shadows of night had fairly closed in. True, it was early, but not too early for Mrs. to be thinking of burglars. Ladies think about bur glars at glaring noon-day. “I hear some one in the back lot,” said the lady to her husband. “O, it is nothing,” said the gentle man, settling back into a comfortable arm chair, with a copy of Time#En terprise, which he was perusing. “I am sure there is some one around the house,” said the lady; “I heard them walking.” Now, every married man knows that when his wife is "certain she has heard some one around,” there’s no use of arguing, and this gentleman was no exception to the rule. "Where’s my gun?” said the gentle man, rising and walking across the room. “I will soon see it there is any one around.” “For gracious sake, don’t shoot in here,” said the lady, as the husband thrust a double-barreled gun through a half open window. "Do you want me to go out and expose myself—perhaps get killed by a burglar?” reproachfully replied the gentleman, as he examined the car tridges in his gun, to make sure they were all right. “O, dear, no, but I—I—I—don’t want you to shoot right here in the room.” “All right, then, I’ll go out and probably be killed. And then if it will be any satisfaction, you can reflect on the fact that you drove your husband to bis death.” With this he rushed to the door, gun in hand,while the wife, now thoroughly alarmed, begged him not to go. “Stand back and let me go,” lie said. “Let me sacrifice myself on the family altar.” And he disappeared in the surrounding gloom. Five minutes later: ■•Well, if this doesn’t beat anything I ever heard of,” said the husband, as lie sneaked hack in the house, where his wife was in tears, expecting to hear a fatal shot every moment. “Why, wliat was it? ’ asked the lady, recovering herself at sight of her hus band unharmed. ••It was a neighbor driving one of his strayed calves out of our back lot.” And a long, deep silence ensued Music By Moonlight, A wave of music swept up and down Broad street last night. The passer-by slopped and listened, as the sounds floated away on the silvery moon beams and died away in the distance. Soon quite a crowd collected in front of R. Thomas’ drug store, where the stroll ing minstrels, three Jnegroes and an Italian boy were playing. All were sorry when the musicians put up their instruments and moved on. It was a pleasant and unexpected breaking of the monotony of these long summer evenings on Broad street. A Revival at New Ochlockoncc Church. Rev. Mr. Williams, who has been assisting Dr. Maiming in a series of revival meetings at the New Ochlock- nnoo church (Baptist ) at Duncanville, lias letiirned. The meetings have been largely attended and deep in terest shown by the people. A gra cious revival, both in and out of the church, has been the result. On Thursday night eleven new members were received on a profession of faith. Seventeen were added to the church up to yesterday. The e will he bap tized at 10 o’clock, near the church, nil Sunday morning. A deep rclig inns feeling pervades the community, and much good is expected to follow the earnest labors of the two ministers who have labored so zealously in the Master’s cause. Alliance Meeting To-Day.
