Mrs. Ilanscll and Miss Mamie will accompany the Captain. Mr. W. B. Hamblcton, who is a life member of the State Agricultural Society, left yesterday morning to attend the semi-annual meeting of that Body In Cedartown- Mistaken For a Burglar. t Among the arrivals at the Stuart, on Friday evening, was a young commer cial tourist, representing a well known Richmond firm. Some years ago, he had spent some time in Thomasville, and, as a consequence, had pleasant recollections of the place. He had, during his stay here, attended the Presbyterian church. So, after supper, he strolled down Jackson street, to see how the new church looked. The choir was practicing, and the gentle man lingered around the new edifice, admiring its handsome outlines in the moonlight, and waiting for the choir to come out, thinking he would, perhaps, meet an acquaintance. lie did not know that he was being watched, and that his loitering around, alone, in that neighborhood, had excited the suspi cions of some ladies who lived near. "I believe he is a burglar,” said a lady, as she peered through the blinds at the gentleman. “Son,” said she, addressing one of her hoys, ‘‘go up town and tell Mar shal Spair or Sheriff Hurst, that there is a burglar in this neighborhood.” Off went the youth, and very soon Sheriff Hurst, with a small posse, was cautiously approaching the alleged burglar, who was quietly puffing a cigar on the steps ol the church. "Come along with me,” said Mr. Hurst; "I want to find out who you are, and what you are doing around here.” It is putting it mildly, to say that the diummer was taken aback. "1 am all right,” said the knight of the grip,” and will prove it to you.” ‘ All right,” said the sheriff, ‘‘come along.” A few minutes walk and the sheriff, Policeman Brown, and the suspected burglar,stepped into an office on Broad street. ‘•Do you know this man?” said the sheriff,while Policeman Brown occupied a position near the door, in order to intercept the temporary prisoner,should he make a break. "Certainly,” said the occupant of the office, turning from his desk; ‘that is Mr. . He is a commercial traveler, and only arrived in town this evening.” “Gentlemen, are you satisfied*’’ said the drummer. ‘‘0, certainly,” said Mr. Hurst. ‘‘You sec,” continued the sheriff, '‘there has been so many burglaries committed around here lately, that wc arc getting kinder suspicious of strangers.” The gentleman says it is the first time he was ever mistaken for a bur- glar. It is rather difficult to determine whether the joke is on the officers or the drummer. Mr. Tom l’hilpot, who has been taking a run up the country, has re turned home. Metcalfe received her first hide of new cotton yesterday. It was sold by Mr. J. F. Lilly, to Stegall and David son. The, hale weighed 499 pounds, classed middling, and brought 11 cents. It was shipped to Messrs. M. Y. & D. I. McIntyre, Savannah. Mr. Sam Moore, Jj., of Monticello, is visiting his father, Cupt. Sam Moore, Sr., on Smith Avenue. The scent of the mullet will no longer pervade Broad street. Chair* man AVhiddon, of the street commit tee, has ordered them oil of the main thoroughfare. Prof. C. C. Cox, president of La- Grange Female College, is at the Whiddon.. He is here in the interest of his school, which is one among the largest and best in the Slate. The professor will remain several days. The chain gang has been kept at other work so long the streets are be ginning to suffer. They need atten tion in many places. To one who has haftao occasion to go into the colored sections ol the city, great surprise would be shown at the large number ot houses newly built by ourcolortd citizens Many of them arc quite neat and comfortable. Entitled to a Chromo. The post office official who deciph ered the following and chucked it in among the editor’s mail yesterday, is entitled to a chromo: CAPtmg TriPIcytc, Thomasville, Ga. The fellow who backed the missive can take the cake. It is his’n- -liis'n, by unanimous consent. Don’t Worry. Don’t worry. It doesn’t pay. Half the human race worry themselves out of several years of existence. If difficulties present themselves, don’t dodge or worry over them, but meet them itke a man. The worrying business pays fewer and smaller divi dends, than any business known. One can be anxious without worrying. There are occasions when not to be anxious, would stamp one as being callous, careless and hardened. A man may have a note in bank, which is rapidly maturing. He ought to be anxious enough about it to use every possible exertion to meet it, but it will do him no good to worry about it. In fact worrying will unfit him for the work necccssary to meet his maturing paper. The good house wife should be anxious enough about her household matters to keep them in good shape, but she should not worry herself to death about them. Worrying will not put things to rights; will not put the house in order, or keep Willie out ol mischief. Don’t worry: it doesn’t pay. One should be sufficiently anxious about their soul’s salvation, to make their ‘‘calling and election sure.” But many worry themselves unnecessa rily about getting to heaven. A wor ried Christian has a mighty poor time on earth ; and it is doubtful if they will quit the old habit when they get to heaven. 9 hey will be asking themselves: "Can this happiness last? Is it real ? Don't worry, then, about getting to heaven; or about what you’ll do when you get there. It will be all right: depend upon that. An old woman, wlio had bad her full share of trouble and work on earth, and who was a great smoker, said : ‘‘I expect, when getting to heaven, to just nit down, told my hands, do nothin", lest, and smoke my pipe the livelong day.” Now that old woman was a philoso pher, in her way. She was not weir Tying about getting to heaven. Hav ing lead a pure Christian life, she felt sure of being saved. She didn't wor- rv about the character and quality of the wings to be given her, or the text ure of the while robe awaiting her None of these bothered her. She had made up her mind to rest and smoke, and the picture of happiness was com plete. She didn’t worry. Don’t worry; it doesn’t pay. In contradistinction to this case, is that of the old maid who, upon an occasion, was found in tears. "What's the matter?” inquired a sympathising friend. "I was just thinking” said the wo man, "il I was to marry and have a little girl, and she was to fall into a kettle of hot soap, and have her eyes burned out, what an awful calamity it would be” ? And with a boo—boo —she wept afresh at the possibility of such a catastropiic. The moral points itself. Don’t worry ; it doesn’t pay. Mr. ( ico. W. Ferrell showed up last evening, after a pleasant summer uiiting. If you have any house to rent, call on K. M. Mallcltc, and lie will rent it for you. He has people in his office every day hunting houses. The Bruce Branch in the corporate limits, should be straightened. This would let the water off, prevent Hood ing of low places and save thousand of wagon loads ol dirt, which th^city will have to replace some day at great expense. The chairman ol the street commit tee can do a much needed job by fixing the side walk on west side of lower Broad ••treet where it crosses the railroad Mr. Bob Deklc is getting in bis material ready to build on Clay street. That part of Thomasville is becoming very attractive and popular. Dr McTyer will least on some choice red snappers this morning. They were sent him, yesterday,'by express, from Pensacola, by Capt. Lambeth. Judge William 1). Mitchell will leave this morning for North Georgia. 1 He will attend the agricultural con vention. ’Ihc Judge is something ol an agriculturist, as well as a jurist. A meeting of the directors of the Thomasville Title Guarantee Co. will be held at office of McIntyre & McIn tyre, on Tuesday, Aug. i jth, at 8 p. nt. S. L. Haves, If. H. Wright, I’res. Sec and Trcas. A FINE SHOWING. Thomas County in the March of Progress. It is gratifying to us to note that Georgia is rapidly forging ahead in all departments of industry and mate rial developments, and nothing shows this more positively and satisfactorily than the tax returns of her people, for it is proverbial for people to give in their taxes nt as low a rate as the receiver will allow. AVe noted a few days ago that Bibb county had in creased her taxable resources about §1,000,000, and now Fulton shows up with §ft,000,000. This put us to in vestigating what ourpiney woods coun ty was doing; and it must bo recol lected we arc but as a village compar ed to Fulton and Bibb. Neverthe less, we believe we have made as rapid strides, comparatively, as these two counties. Looking over our tax digest yesterday, through the kind ness of our efficient tax receiver and collector, we find that Thomas county has increased her taxable property in the past year over a thirdoi a million dollars, or to be accurate, S3ftf>,781. This iuereasc has been a healthy and steady one. The difference made in the returns from Ochlockonce will lie accounted for by reason of the fact that this year the new district of .Spence has been taken from Ochlockonce, and hence in the averaging up, Ochkeko- ncc and Spence go together. The following arc the returns as made on the digest by districts : 1.888. Dnnoanvi: Metcalfe E. nia»Ko' S'J, 919.M0I 4(7,339 Thomas vi Dunoanvi Me tea lift . K. Cllasgo Boston .. Ways- - M,; Spence..

Wo have just begun to grow, but we ex pect to put oft our swaddling clothes, and, as a recent bill in the Legislature indicates, become a city. It goes without saying that we have all the material and advantages necessary to become a city, save those which we are now reaching out for. Another railroad, and.Thomasville will make rapid strides, and tliis she will have at no distant day.
