Dr. J. G. Hopkins reached home yesterday afternoon, coming direct from Tate Spring, East Tenn, Dr. Monroe said yesterday: “I tell you, Mctc»lfc is on a regular boom. Cotton is coining in right along, aud trade is picking up every day. We're bound to bo a live town. No mistake about il.” Sheriff Hurst, who is always ou the alert for old offenders, succeeded in bagging one of the excursionists yes terday, who was wanted to answer to a true bill found by the grand jury several years ago. Minnie Davis was the woman’s name, and she was charged with stealing a pistol. Mr. Hurst arrested her and placed her in jail, and if she came with any inten tion of “dimin’ de golden stairs,” she evidently thinks now the whole thing was a failure. They Hit ’em Hard. The “Orphan Boys” base hall club, of Thomasville, laid out the “Heavy Hitters,” ot WalthourVille, in a match game yesterday afternoon. The score stood .10 to 1. The Thomasville hoys hit the “Heavy Hitters” hard. Just for One Day. Looking out on the crowded streets yesterday afternoon, observing • the great throng of happy colored people, all in holiday attire, and happier than the days arc long, a printer who was making the types click, click click, said : “I would-give twenty five dollars to he a nigger to-day.’’ And the click click, click, of the types went on, while the notes of a brass brand, floated in at an open window, and the notes ol “The Girl I left Behind me,” swept around the corner from a fife, to which a military company kept step. Ho Had Only Boon to "Baker.” “I'V God, if dein niggers hnin’t got ‘Jesus’ on dat drum,” said an old col ored man yesterday, whose academic course hnd'bccn cut short at “Baker.” “No they lmin’t,” said another, who had mastered the blue-back spelling hook, “hasn’t you got no sense? Dat’s ‘Jesttp,’ you ole fool." And the old man marched otf, look ing askance at the inscription on the drum, while the hold drummer was giving the tetters “Jesttp Brass Band,” what I’addy is said to have given the drum. To-morrow Morning An interesting article will appear^writ ten by a gentleman who hits been and is still interested in a statement by Mr. Grady in a recent address,to the effect that "the farmers of Gtorgia were growing poorer”. It will he remember ed that the late Alexander II. Steph ens entertained these same views, also. The gentleman has selected fifty names, at random, front nmong the average farmers of Thomas county, aud will compare their tax returns of 1879 with those ot 1889; thus demonstrat ing whether farmers arc going back ward or forward. No reference to the tax hooks was made until after the names were selected. .So they were not selected with a view of either proving or disproving the position of Mr. Grady. What may he demon strated by the camparison of the status of Thomas county farmers, in 1879 and-1889, will, in a great measure, apply to the whole state. They Were Here- Following the fast mail, yesterday, which was thirty minutes late, was the big colored excursion from Liberty county, and intermediate points. There was considerable curiosity among our colored population to see the colored contingent from Liberty. The reports of the big religious craze among those people had whetted the curiosity of the intelligent colored people of Thomasville, so that many of the latter were on the streets to see the excursionists. These latter marched up from the depot to the notts of a brass band. Broad street presented a lively scene, as the strang ers straggled up Jackson, some taking the side walks, others the middle of the street, filing right and left, when the principal thoroughfare was reach ed. Soon more music, away down toward the depot, was heard. Grad ually the notes grew more distinct, and a few moments later the steady rattle of the drum and the shrill notes of the file were borne forward over the surging sea of heads, and “The Girl I Left Behind Me” fell upon a thousand listening ears. And with the music came the “Phcenix Riflemen” of Val dosta. They were in neat uniforms and presented quite a handsome ap pearance. Their drilling and move ments were very good. They would not be considered as formidable Iocs, in either attack or defense, as they carried only wooden guns. While a good many were in the crowd from Liberty, more hailed from along the line. The sexes appeared to be about equally divided. The crowd was well dressed, and so far as we have learned, very orderly. Every ont appeared to enjoy strolling around in a town whose massive brick blocks and great hotels was a revelation. Large numbers repaired to the city hall, where dancing was indulged in. Several of the Liberty county negroes were twitted by their colored brethren here, about the day, the 16th, having been set apart lor their ascension to heaven. "Go ’way, nigger; you knows I don’t h’leve no such thing,” said one ol them, to a town darkey, who asked him if lie was “on his way to heaven.” 'I he party had a good lime, and every one here, white and black, were glad to sec them enjoying .themselves. If there is any one thing (except a watcrnullion, perhaps), which the av erage darkey enjoys more than another, it is a "’scursion.” •The parly returned at 6 o'clock. Branching Out. Wc had a pleasant interview with Mr. D. B. I’axton, of the extensive milling firm of Paxton & Maddox, of neav Clinch Haven, Clinch county, in this State, the other day. Mr. Paxton wns nt one time a citi zen ot tills place, and he lias branched out considerably. He informs us that his firm owns 80,000 acres of the finest lands in that section of country, and have enough saw timber to last them in perpetuity; enough now on the ground to keep sawing on for 15 years, and by the time that is ex hausted other timber will have grown to sufficient size. They have a very extensive plant, aud do a largo busi ness, having a railroad uine ini'cs long through their timbered lands, which will he continued as necessity arises. This road is equipped with engines, lumber cars, log cars, Ar., and enables the firm to expedite their business very materially. Mr. Paxton says lie has become an expert millman, engineer, mechanic and general utility man, and can run any and all parts of the business. |Thc magnitude of the lumber business done by these large mills is not gen erally known, in this and the upper sections of the State, hut it is of no in considerable amount, and is looming up into importance. Our trade with foreign ports, supplied by the lower counties, is immense. Messrs. Paxton A Maddox have our host wishes for their prosperity in their business. ——• *•* • We have lots of fun, running the Advance, but it is written: that a newspaper man cannot live by fun alone.—Whighatn Advance. Yea, verily. — The angry clouds, which erstwhile boiled around the heads of Olive and Gantt, have drilled away, and big patches of clear sky arc now discerni ble without the aid of a telescope. Olive and Gantt still live. A Golden Opportunity. Though cut oft from the outside world and heretofore only reached by water or a. loug tiresome ride over land,, Carrabclle has steadily grown, prospered and carried on an extensive lumber and timber business with for eign countries, and now that the ear ly completion of the Augusta, Talla hassee and Gulf Railway is assured, nothing can hold our thrifty little neighbor down, and she will at once begin to boom. And Tallahassee being so closely linked to this, one of the best and safest harbors on the Gulf coast, will tcel the throb of the pulse, and these two cities will in deed he sisters, each working to Help in developing the resources of the other. Tltere arc great possibilities for Carrabelle, aud, witli the vim and progress that her citizens have, these will soon he opened up and made known to the world. The completion of the Augusta, Tallahassee and Gulf will 'give to some live business men a golden op portunity. They can establish whole sale houses at Carrabclle and supply all Middle Florida and .South Georgia with bulk groceries, meats, hay, grain, etc. Why? Let us see. Well, iu the first place water transportation is much cheaper than all rail. It will he au easy matter to secure a liuc of steamers to ply between New Or leans and Carrabclle. Then again grain, hay and meats can he bought in the Northwest in hulk at aston ishingly low prices, loaded on hoard boats and brought down the Missis sippi and to Carrabell without break ing hulk. This would secure the pat ronage of the territory above named, for the Carrabclle wholesale mer chants would he enabled to success fully compete with other markets, giving lower prices and even then making better profits. Then, again, quite a cotton busi ness can in: worked up, and a liberal share of tlie crop would lie shipped to New Orleans via Carrabclle. The foreign vessels coming into the port of Carrabclle for lumber will bring cargoes of merchandise such as is not produced in this country, and thus a foreign business will he opened up, aud we can import all of our coffee, and work up an extensive trade with ,South and Central America, having Carrabclle declared a port of entry as soon ns the business would warrant it. It does seem to us that this is the golden opportunity of the day, and wc advise live business men to occu py the field quickly and harvest the first fruits.—Floridian, Tallahassee. With Canabelle in communication with New Orleans, by a steamship line, and with Thornaxvillc by rail, this place ought to lie one of the best wholesale grocery markets in the State. A Silo.' Mr. Frank Winn, who is one of our most progressive farmers, aud runs a very large dairy farm, lias for several years used a silo for the pur * pose of preserving green food for his stock. Wherever used, these silos have proven valuable aids, and they are no longer an experiment, hut a proven success. Mr. Winn is now filling his silo and would he glad to . have the farmers ot the county and others who may he interested in the matter, call at his place and see the working and process of filling. It will he of interest to any one engaged in a business where green food is desirable for slock. No Moro Soldier Boys. Georgia will have no more soldier boys, for the present, at least. Adjutant General Kell is in receipt of the proceedings of the military ad visory board. He lius been authorized to receive into the volunteer organizations of Georgia military the Dalton Guards, “the Irvin Guards, of Washington, the Bartow Volunteer Guards, of Bartow, the Clark Rifles, of Athens, the Rock- mart City Guards, and also a compa ny at Waycross and another at Abbe ville, which have not been named. Captain Kell lias a number of other applications on file, hut he lias been instructed to refuse any but those named above. The others will he forced to wait, at least until the meeting of the hoard in September.—Atlanta Journal. What has become of the application of the Thomasville Guards? Dr. Taylor made one or two more experiments yesterday with the Brown-Sequard elixir. Why is It People will continue to buy groceries on 30 days’ time, and thereby pay 15 per cent, more for them than they can buy them for for the spot cash. Don’t you know you are paying 15 per cent, on some account the merchant can’t collect? He lias to charge those who do pay, enough to make good his losses in had accounts. It is perfectly legitimate and business-like, too! He has to live. But while it is perfectly right in him to charge you that way, it is very foolish in you to pay it, because you can make that per cent, yourself by buying your goods for cash. I will take your order at regu lar prices, aud then discount it 15 per cent, for the cash. Respectfully, M. P. Pk kktt.
