As we are determined not to pack up
any summer stock at all, provided I

agiynst this class should he rigidly en
forced. They arc a menace to any
place or people.
We understand that twenty con
verts were baptized by Dr. Manning,
pastor of New Ochlockonce church,
on Sunday.
Capt. and Mrs. Hammond, and
Master Walter, left on Sunday night
for Lake George, New York, where
they will spend some time.
Tax Returns.
As will be seen by the statistics, the
showing for old Thomas is a good
one. Her growth is steady and sure.
While the greatest increase in values
lms been In the towns, yet the country
shows a healthy increase in values.
This is one of the most hopeful signs
ol the future. The time is coming,
and it is near at hand, when country
property will be rated at its true in
trinsic value. It lms not touched
that point yet. But it will. A man
who cannot make a living in Thomas
county, cannot make a living any
where.
It is gratifying to note the increased
values of property owned by colored
people. They now own something
over a quarter of a million dollars
worth of property in this county.
This is a most creditable exhibit, and
shows that, while, there are many
worthless negroes ( as there are whites,
also), there i3 ( at the same time, a
thrifty, well-to-do class of colored
people in Thomas county, who are
industrious and trying to make an
honest living. And they arc doing it.
* Upon the whole, we may congratu
late both whites and blacks upon the
large increase of taxable property in
the county. It speaks volumes for
the future of the grand old county of
Thomas.
Thirty-five Years.
“Are you going to take a vacation,”
the reporter asked the Rev. Mr.
MacDoncll, yesterday.
“No, sir. My health is always
belter in summer than at any other
season, and, consequently,-I am aide
to attend to my duties during the
summer months as well as at any
other season,” replied the gentleman.
Continuing, Mr. MacDoncll said:
“I have bocn an active preaclicfaml
pastor for thirty-five years, and only
once, during that time, have T bad a
summer vacation. In the summer of
1871, I went to New York and was
absent from my charge a month. In
my experience during these long
years, I have frequently, when other
pastors were absent, performed the
pastoral work of four or five
churches.”
And the gentleman, with his robust,
vigorous appearance, looked as if he
were equal to the task of doing the
pastoral work ol three or four churches
now.

Very respectfully, |
Several old offenders were lip before
Mayor pro tern. Merrill, yesterday
morning. The aggregate lines
amounted to about thirty dollars.
To-Night.
The.first session ol the Distrid Sun
day School Convention will he held
in Rostou to-night. A large delega
tion is expected. The exercises will
continue to morrow and to morrow
night. Mr. T. J. Ball was elected,
on Sunday, as the delegate from the
Methodist Sunday School here, with
Mr. S. L. Hayes as alternate. All
pastors and superintendents of Sunday
Schools arc ex officio members ot the
convention. It is non-sectarian, em
bracing all orthodox denominations.
The Electric Light.
Among the guests registered at the
Whiddon yesterday, were G. M.
Chamberlain and wife, Atlanta, (ia.
Mr. Chamberlain is liere for the pur
pose of putting the machinery in
shape to start the pioposcd electric
plant. As all the material is hero, it
will not take long to have things in
shape to turn on the fluid. Thonias-
villc will soon have—what she has
long wanted and needed— electric
lights, both the are and incandescent.
First Test in Georgia.
The medical world is, just now,
very much interested in the claim set
up by Dr. Brown-Sequard, the famous
Paris physician, that lie has discovered
a wonderful elixir. Many tests arc
being made in this country and in
Europe, of the new discovery. Dr.
Hammond and other eminent Ameri
can physicians assert that there is
virtue in the new elixir. Dr. A. P.
Taylor made a test of it on Sunday
morning, on a patient who lias been
suffering some time from partial par
alysis. We have not learned the
result.
Dr. Taylor was doubtless the first
physician in Georgia, if not in the
south, to test the new remedy.
A New Warehouse.
The material is being placed on the
ground for the erection of Messrs.
West & Fearn’s large grain warehouse,
if will he thirty by one hundred and
fifty feet, and he built of corrugated
iron. The warehouse will be located
on the cast side of the railroad tracks,
near the road, between Fletcher and
Lee streets. Work has commenced
on a side track which will be used for
loading and unloading merchandise
without the intervention of drays.
Messrs. West it Fearn are pushing
young business men.
To-Night.
The first session of the district Sun
day - school convention, will be hold at
Boston to-night. A large delegation
is expected. The exercises will con
tinue to-morrow and to-morrow
night. Mr. T. ,T. Ball was elected on
Sunday as the delegate from the
Methodist Sunday school here, with
Mr. S. L. Hayes as alternate. All
pastors and superintendents of Sunday
schools are ex-ofiieio members of the
convention. It is non-sectarian, em
bracing all orthodox denominations.
The Progress of Our Colored Population.
Last year the colored tax payers
of the town district returned $105,098
worth of town property. This year
they return $164,063 worth. This
demonstrates that wc have.a colored
population who arc learning the ne
cessity and importance of accumulate
iny property. Every one is glad to
sec this disposition on their part
The man, white or colored, who owns
property, makes a better citizen.
The talk of the negroes engaging in a
general exodus, colonizing themselves
somewhere, is folly. They are better
off right here, and doing better here,
than they ever will any where else.
They arc among those whounderstand
them and who wish them well, among
people who are interested in their
future welfare and prosperity ; among
people who arc competent to legislate
foi them, legislate for them belter
than they can for themselves. The
negro will never find a better home
or people to live among, than in the
South, and with Southern people.
Mr. B. A. Bass believes in the hi-
turc of farming lands in the South.
Ho recently - bought the famous Brad
ley place, located on the borders of
the Miccosukie lake, from Mr. John
L. Finn. The place contains 25-100
acres, and is classed among the richest
farming lands of this section.

An unusually large congregation
filled the Baptist church to over
flowing on Sunday night. After
an able sermon by the pastor,
Rev. Mr, Williams, the impressive
ordinance ofbaptism was administered
to two young ladies.
Did you know that the ThomasviHe
district rclurns a round quarter of a
million more property, this year than
last; to be more accurate $246,551, i
Thats a healthy showing. And these
are voluntary returns made by the
owners of property. If the actual in
crease in values had been put down
the amount would no doubt be doub
led.
Mr. B. D. Singletary brought in
the first stalk of sugar cane of the
season, to the Times-Entehpkisk yes
terday morning. It had thirteen
joints. Mr. Singletary says that it
was cut from ;i ten acre field of the
same height. Visions of “Jack Frost”
and sugar boilings, were produced by
this early cane.
Riding by Moonlight.
That was a gay and pleasant horse
back party on Friday night. They
rude out by Col. McIntyre-’?, Mr.
Masury’s magnificent country place,
and on to Winnton, where a delight
ful serenade took place. Mr. Winn,
in the absence of Mrs, Winn, invited
the party in, when they were enter
tained in royal style. Some seven
or eight couples of ladies and gentle
men were in the party. The pleasures
of the ride were so much enjoyed
that ’tis probable another similar
parly will be made up this week.
Special attention is called to the
advertisement of a six room, two
story house, conveniently located, for
real. It is in a desirable neighborhood
and can be rented at a bargain. Call
at this office.
There were two bli- dine flashes of
lightning about noon yesterday. Every
one thought the lightning struck in
a few feet of them No damage was
done, so far as wc could learn, beyond
a few cases of fright.
Mr. George Clewis has in his pos
session an old knife engraved with the
date ot Aug 20 1857. It is no doubt
the largest pocket knife iti the city,
its length being a fraction under fifteen
inches long. It was found in the
Ochlockonce river swamp. Time and
rust have played their part with the
blade, and it would be a more effec
tive weapon as a club, than to cut
with. The knife perhaps, has a his
tory ; Who knows ?

An Editor’s Duties.
Wc ajxilogizc for mistakes made
in all former issues, and say they were
inexcusable, as all an editor has to do
is to hunt news, and clean the rollers,
and set type, and sweep the floor, and
pen short items, aud fold papers, ami
write wrappers, and make the paste,
and mail the papers, and distribute
the type, and talk to visitors, and
carry water, and saw wood, and read
the proofs, and correct mistakes, and
hunt the shears to write editorials,
and dodge the bills, and dim delin
quents, and take cussing? from the
whole force, aud tell our subscribers
that we need money. We say that
wc have no business to make mistakes
while attending to these little matters
aud getting our living on gopher-tail
soup flavored with imagination, and
wear old shoes and no collar, and a
patch on our pants, and obliged to
turn a smiling countenance to the
man who tells us that our paper isn’t
worth 81 anyhow, and that he could
make a better one with bis eyes shut.
