M. liaker has returned from Savannah. Mr. John Carroll spent the day in Boston yesterday- Judge Dupont, of the S. F. & VV. Ry., was in the city yesterday. Mrs. Eliza Footman, of Monticcllo, is visiting Mrs. M. J. Wctherington, on Smith avenue. ' Mr Sam Baker Ictt yesterday morn ing tor the railroad tamps of Pittman & Baker, near Ozark, Ala. Miss I,aura Jones will occupy the store next above Miss Katie Colluis, in the Mitcheli block, temporarily. Miss Nonna Curry, of Bainbridge, is the guest of Mrs. Albert Winter, in Farsi End. 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- We call the attention of these gen tlemen, in advance,to sonic statements, Til It St' NICE MARES FOR SALE.

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. Respectfully, M. P. Pickett. PLATT .S CHLORIDES, ('ll 19 HI. LIME. (9IPPKBAS, &c S. .1.
