Miss I,aura Jones will occupy the
store next above Miss Katie Colluis,

Miss Nonna Curry, of Bainbridge,

The friends of Mr. Thco. Titus are
glad to sec him back, after a two
months' sojourn in north Georgia.
Rev. Mr. McDonell returned yes
terday from Decatur county, where he
has been assisting in a meeting for a
couple of days.
We were pleased to meet cx-Scna
tor Livingston, of Brooks, in town
yesteiday. Time appears to be deal
ing very gently with him.
The chain gang have now turned
their attention to the streets. Smith
and McLean avenues were worked
out yesterday. Other streets will
receive attention as early as possible.
'The Thomasvillc Variety Works,
Hargrave, Reynolds, & Davis prupri
etors, is a regular bee-hive. They
have a large force of skilled workmen,
and the finest of machinery. They
are doing a rattling good business.
“We have about one hundred and
fifteen voters in the new Spence dis
trict,” said B. II. l’opc, Esq., the oth-
,cr clay, * and you can always look for
a solid democratic vote from the dis
trict, when the returns come in.”
Mr. K. O. Thompson, who has been
having a most delightful visit iu the
mountains of north Georgia, returned
home yesterday evening. He left
Jim l’ringlc still enjoying the society
anil fine climate of Nacooehec.
Few counties in the slate have more
and better towns than Thomas. Look
at Boston, Cairo, Uchlockonec, Met
calfe, Meigs, McDonald and Chastain.
Seven of them; and they are all grow
ing, thriving places. Thomas county
is not only proud of her capital town,
hut of her seven growing towns be
sides.
Capt. P. F. Jenkins, ot the Alabama
Midland, is in town. He reports the
grading about completed from Bain-
bridge to Montgomery. The cross
tics arc being rapidly placed, and
track laying is progressing right along
While the road-bed will be ready lor
the lies and rail? within the next thirty
days, it will he some time before the
bridging is completed.
Adjusted.
Mr. McCay, the adjuster for the
Macon Insurance Company, ot which
Hansell & Merrill are local agents
here, came down on Wednesday anil
promptly adjusted the insurance which
Mr. J. L. Linton had on his stock,sat
isfactorily, paying the full amount of
insurance, $700. Other adjusters
came down yesterday, and the losses
will he promptly adjusted.
Another Fire.
A quarter to 4 o’clock yesterday
morning the alarm bell announced
another fire, which was soon located
on Dawson street corner of Clay. It
was the dwelling house of Mr. Archie
Davenport, and. was soon consumed,
with about half the furniture. Mr.
Davenport’s family lias been away
from home for some days, and he was
alone in Ihc house, and was waked by
the roaring of the fire, which envelop
ed the whole rear portion when lie
discovered it. Hastily dressing, he,
aided by Mr. Tom Bottoms, who lives
near by, succeeded in saving the fur
niture from the two front rooms, but
everything contained in the back
rooms, as well as all the winter cloth
ing, bedding, &c., which was stored
in a closet in the back part of the house,
was destroyed The Mitchell fire
company and the Hook and Ladder
company responded with their machines
but the fire was of a character, and so
far advanced, that the companies could
do ho good. As there was a great
scarcity of water at that point, it is very
fortunate that the house was isolated.
If it had been thickly built up ncartWfc
fire, great damage would have result
ed. Mr Davenport says there had
been no fire on the place since dinner
lime the day previous, and it is hard
to suppose that it could have smoul
dered for 16 hours, lie was insured
in the Hartford, Hansell A Merrill,
agents, for the sum of $800 on the
house, and in the Atlanta Home, Jas.
F. Evans, agent, for $500 011 furniture.
Assistant Chief A. F l’revatt was
promptly on the grounds and assumed
direction of the. fire hoys, who did all
that could he done under Ihc circum
stance;.
Eleven and a Half Cents for Cotton.
These are the. figures paid by
Messrs. Mitchell and McIntyre for
cotton, this week. These young mer
chants are determined that cotton
shall bring as much, in Thom-
axvillc, ns in] any other place.
This is the right spir.it, and we hope
the balance of the merchants and
buyers here will co-operate with the
firm mentioned, in their laudable ef
forts to hi'ld the trade of the town.
In union there is strength.
Farmers can get ns much money
for cotton 111 Thomasvillc, ns they can
anywhere. And then they can buy
goods here as cheap as anywhere.
The Biggest Yet.
Mr. W. D. 1’cacock has brought to
this office the champion Le Conte pear
of the season. It measured thirteen
inches in circumference, and tipped
the scales at 20 ounces. It was a
beauty. Mr. l’eacock seems to have
the knack of raising the best of every
thing.
Col, A. T. McIntyre.
The friends of education and the
university of the State, are to he
congratulated on the appointment of
Col. McIntyre, as one of the trustees
of that institution under the new law.
Recognizing Col. McIntyre’s ability,
long experience, and peculiar fitness
for the resp msihlc position, the gov
ernor lias appointed him for the
longest term under the law, eight
years. The new law brings the great
university nearer the people. And
that is where it should lie.
Shall be Glad to Sec Them,
It will not lie long until the colleges
and schools will open again. Young
Female College will open on the 2nd,
and the South Georgia College on the
■ltli of September. Tliq,private school
of Mr. Clishy will open on the 2nd,
and the other private schools about
tile same time. Then the streets and
by ways will he lighted and gladdened
by troops of merry school children,
going to and from their respective
schools. We shall he glad to see the
little fellows again, with their bright
happy faces, hooks and baskets,
trudging along to school. They are
the hope of the country. Happy, in
nocent childhood and youth; soon,
very soon, the responsibilities of life
will he upon them. Make the most of
the sunshine of to-day. The future can
not, in the natural order of things, he
all sunshine.
Thomas County Alliance.
Will meet at the court house lo-dav,
for the transaction of business. In
view of the action of the State Alliance
meeting, some important steps taken
thereat, it is to be supposed that the
meeting will be of an interesting na
ture.
The Park.
Thomasvillc now has an opportuni
ty to secure appropriate grounds for a
park; to secure them at less, much
less than the property could be sold to
private parties. We propose, in to
morrow's issue, to meet some of the
objections which are being urged
against the purchase. When the facts
are given, we feel sure that many who’
now oppose the issuing of bonds will
see that they are mistaken. The ques
tion is a most important one for Thom-
asvilic. It is important to every man
who owns one dollar’s worth of real
estate in the town. It is apparent
to the most casual observer that' the
winter business of Thomasvillc is now
her main stay. Take that away, do
aught to cripple it, and decay would
strike the town from stem to stern.
We need not repeat what is known to
all, that Paradise Park is one of the
main magnets here. With the excep
tion of the drives in the surrounding
country, which only the rich can in
dulge in, the park is the only out door
attraction. And shall that be destroyed?
What citizen ol Thomisville, what
family of Thomasville, what bootblack,
what boy, what washerwoman, what
merchant, what professional mail,what
interest or business in the town which
has not been benefitted and made
richer by the thousands of northern
people who come here every winter *
And yet some gentlemen, (it is fair to
assume that they are conscientious in
it),are advocating a course which would
kill the goose which lays the golden
egg-

tlemen, in advance,to sonic statements,

Why is It
People will continue to buy groceries
on .'!<) 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 has to charge those who
do pay, enough to make good his
losses in bad accounts. It is perfectly
legitimate and business-like, too! He
has to live. But while it is perfectly
right iu him to charge you that way,
it is very foolish iu 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, and then discount it 15 per
cent, for the cash.

M. P. Pickett.
