This term we use this morning alluding to a habit which some people have of stealing from us in a small way; in fact, a petty larceny, a small larc'eny. Webster defines petit petty as small, little, trilling, inconsid erable, and larceny as unlawful taking ol things personal, Ac.,—theft. Now, the class of people to whom we are going to allude would scorn to commit petit larceny in its generally accepted meaning, and they possibly have never considered that in availing themselves of our time, experience, talents, and other things necessary to get up a newspaper, without rendering an equivalent fir it, they are taking from us what is ot value to us, and without rendering a quid pro quo for the same; and thereby committing an offense. It is true, a small offense, and there fore such an one as no right-thinking person would or could conscientiously commit. We allude to the habit which some people have of reading our paper, especially the daijy, without subscribing for it. liow often do we hear the remark with brazen effrontery: ‘Ob, I read your paper; 1 don’t take it, but I borrow my neighbor’s,” said with an unction as if the fact that he read it was a compliment to us. Does he know the contempt he is held in by not only the editor, but his neighbor who is not allowed to read his own paper because he dislikes to refuse so small a request as the loan of a news paper. Now, we are led to these remarks from the complaint of a subscriber, who said us yesterday: “Frequently, I can’t get to read my paper. There are seven persons who make a busi ness of reading my paper, and fre quently some of them carry it off be fore I can get a chance to read it, and they are men any one of whom could buy me. 1 ' Now, is not this a shame, and an imposition upon the hard worked edi tor, who has his all invested in his business, and depends upon the pat ronage ot the reading public lor his livelihood ? In pily’s name, if you are able to subscribe for a paper, do so, and read your own, or, failing in this, don't read ■ any one else’s. It is an imposition on the man who pays lor it and the man who prims it. Again, the printer does not contemplate, when lie agrees with a subscriber to let him have his paper, that it shall serve for any than his personal use and that ol his lamily, and it would be. a good idea for our solons, who are wasting so much time changing the code, to enact a law that no person should be allowed to read a newspaper paid for by other than himself or his or her blood kin. THE GUARDS ARE ALL RIGHT. What Capt. Hansell Says in Regard to the Matter. Ati.axta, Ga., Aug. 19,1889. Dkak Timbs-Entkri’Wki:: In your issue of Saturday, the 17th inst., you copied from some exchange an article calling attention to the fact that no more new military companies could be organized in this State, ex cept those mentioned in that article, and at the end of that article you asked: -“What about the Thomnsville Guards?” or something to that effect. As the article copied, aud your com ment, or inquiry, may possibly have a discouraging effect on the members of the Guards, and may deter some from joining that company, who would otherwise become members, aud knowing that you desire to do all you can to aid in keeping up said com pany and adding to its strength aud efficiency, I have taken the liberty of writing this explanation: The organization of the Guards was authorized by the advisory board last fall, and the company had been fully organized before the last meeting of the hoard, to which relercnce was made in the article you published. The report of Capt. Wight to the Adjutant-General was very compli mentary and satisfactory, and the Thomnsville Guards is now one of the regularly officered, uniformed and recognized companies of Georgia vol unteers, anil will he armed and equip ped as soon as the State receives the arms and accoutrements from the United States. These arms were due July 1st, and should have been here about that time, but from some cause, unknown to the Adjutant-General, they have not been received. The Guards are all right, and only need the good will and hearty en couragement of the people ol Thomas- villc, to go ahead and become one ol the very best companies in the State, if I may judge by the very great progress already made.

Shortly before the late meeting of the State Agricultural Society, Mr. S. G. McLendon was requested to for ward to Mr. Northen, president of the Society, some statistics of this imme diate section. In the brief time inter vening, Mr. McLendon compiled some interesting statistics and matter touch ing Thomasvillc and' Thomas county. As will be seen by the correspondence below, the manuscript reached Mr. Northen too lute to lie used in the preparation of his admirable address before the convention, but lie has had it incorporated in and made a part of that address, of which ten thousand copies was ordered printed for distri bution. Mr. Northen writes as fol lows: .Sparta, Ga., Aug. 17, 1889. Hon, iS. G. McLendon, Ihomwn'dle, G My Dear Sir:—Your statement of crops along the liuo of the S. F. & W. K. R., reached me at Cedaitown, but too late for ray speech, as it bad been delivered. I rend the communication, however, and ordered it printed in our transactions. It will go North as part of iny speech. Convention ordered 10,000 copies of the speech printed for distribution, * 4= * * * Yours truly, W. J. Northen - . H.

The Judge, who always carries a good stout stick—not for offensive purpo ses, however—felt very much inclined to use his stick on the fellow, but allowed his better judgement to pre vail. In any event the Judge, though well advanced in years, dots not, like Justice Field of the Supreme court, need or want pny ono to go around with him for his protection. Letter from Nacoochee. Nacoochee Vali.ey, Aug. 19,''89. Dear TimesEnterprise—As my friend Miller is out of this immediate neighborhood, I suppose it would not be amiss for me to give you a few happenings occurring in this mountain retreat. The weather is about the same as October at home. We had a fire this morning. I sec by my friend’s letler in your paper that his conscience is pursuing him, as he seems to think I will tell on him while we were at Indian Springs, but 1 shan’t say a word, because we were both in the same boat—neither of us having our better half with us. Tell him I won’t say a word about that pretty widow he fell in love with there. A3 to our other Thomasvillc friend— but I suppose he has a right to fall in love—and it seems that he has profit ed by that right. I won't call any name, but these same Thomasvillc boys seem to be up to snuff now. As near as I can judge, I think that at least one of our young men means to have a mother-in-law to see in this mountain country. It would be very convenient to be able to get free hash two or three months during the heat of summer. But I won’t tell on him, hut it is provoking to be waiting on a fellow who keeps promising that “if you will wait three days I will go home with you,” and when the time comes to find that lie still wants two or three days more. You know when a fellow has been fooled that way and sees daily the same young lady at his side, why we have but one conclusion to come to, that is, to leave hint alone in his glory, and that is what I have decided to do, so I will leave here Thursday, and hope to be home Fri day. With best regards to friends, I am, K. O. Thompson - . The state Alliance elected Mr. T. 1- Illackshear as one of the committee to go on the excursion through the north and west with the exhibit car, representing the resources of Georgia, which is under the management of Mr Glessner. Mr. Illackshear will make a good representative. Knights of Honor. Knights of Honor in Thomasvillc are requested to meet at the office of Evans 1% McLean, to-night at 7:‘>0 o’clock, on business of importance. A full attendance is requested. It Poured Through. Yesterday wc mentioned the fact that the new Jackson street sewer had been completed to a point near Mr. A. F. Prevatts. The water was turned into the last opening yesterday morning, at four minutes past nine, through a three inch hose from a hydrant on Jackson street. Taking a scat with Marshal Spair, in a turn out, the reporter and the marshal started for the end of the sewer, two miles distant, at the moment the wa ter was turned into the sewer. It was a question whether the scribe and the man of authority would reach the end of the sewer before the water or not. The end of the sewer was reach ed, but “narry” a drop of water was running. We waited, and waited and waited ; still no water. A half hour passed ; three quarters of au hour passed, and still no water. The marshal was getting, as Henry Mc Lendon would say “nervious.” “The water ought to have reached here before now,’’said Mr. .Spair, as he kept his eye 011 the mouth of the sewer. “Could anything have happen ed?Is there a break somewhere? Is the tsewer clogged up at some point?" The scribe was unable to answer these questions. “Mr. Pinson,” said the marshal, turning to Inspector Pinson, who was present. “1 wish you would ride hack to town and sec if anything is the matter at the other end.” Mr. Pinson departed on his mission. Still we watched and waited for water which would show that the sewer was all right.. And this was an important question, affecting as it did, and does, the'health of the town. “What time have you, Mr. Mar shal,"’asked the scribe, as the thought of “more copy" flitted through his head. “Four minutes after ten,”—“there she conics,” said Mr. Spair, as the wa ter from the new sewer, two miles away, all discolored with fresh clay, came rushing out of the sewer. And the sewerage was all right. It had taken the water just one hour to run two miles. Returned Dr. T. S. Hopkins, who lias been summering in the mountains of north Georgia and. the Carolinas, returned home Tuesday night, looking refreshed and vigorous from his trip. He lias had a most pleasant outing. County Alliance. Thomas county alliancemcu will hear in mind the county alliance is called, by President Ivey, to meet in Thomnsville, at the court house, on the 2-Uli inst., for the transaction of important business. Millinery. Our readers are advised to read the new advertisement of Mrs. Carroll, and see what bargains she offers in millinery. Mrs. Carroll is evidencing liuc judgment in letting the public know that she wants to sell goods, and she lias demonstrated that advertising is the best way to do that. Advertis ing pays, aud when a merchant lias bargains to offer he is very likely to lot the public know it through the newspaper. Thomasvillc Street Railway. The House passed, on Tuesday, the hill incorporating the Thomasvillc street and suburban railway company. This probably insures us a street railroad in the near future. Looking Around. Supt. R. G. Fleming, of the -S. F. & IV. R. R., accompanied by the gen tlemen appointed by the governor to make the assessment of the 8. F. & W. R. R., was in the city yesterday and, accompanied by Hon. 8. G.
