Mr. J. IL Patterson, of Albany, is
in the city.
lion. A. T. McIntyre Jr., returned
to Atlanta yesterday
Mr. B. A. Daniel, of Atlanta, was
stopping at the Whiddon yesterday.
Miss Josic Taylor, of Monticclio, is
the guest of Miss Sallie Mitchell, on
Jackson street.
Now that telegraph and electric
wires traverse the city, the telephone
will very likely be the next addition.
if you want to rent a house, call on
E. M. Mallette. He has several very
desirable places for rent.
See notice of meeting of the Tliom-
asville Title Guarantee Co., on Friday
evening.
Mr. Thomas E. Blacksliear will
carry some Thomasville and Thomas
county literature in his grip, on his
trip through the West.
Would it not he a good idea to put
sign hoards up giving names of the
streets’ This would aid greatly in giv
ing directions to strangers.
Let the side walk on lower Broad
street, below Palin’s, be graded, so
travellers from that way can come into
town without going into the middle of
the s‘rect.
This season will demonstrate that
Thomasville needs another hie hotel,
and there is a man who is ready ahd
able to build it, if needed.
The Trustees of Young Female
College had a meeting in Col. McIn
tyre’s office yesterday morning. No
business of special importance was
transacted.
We regret to learn that Alderman
Whiddon, proprietor of the Whiddon
house, is confined to his room by ill
ness. “Eel’s” friends hope to see
him out very soon.
The park sentiment is growing every
day. Some of those who were oppos
ing it, have gone over to the park
when they found that their reasons
against it were untenable,
Mr. Mallette says quite a number of
negroes are buying building lots. He
lias made four sales to negroes within
the last week. The lots are small and
cheap, but this shows the tendency.
Improvements in the interior of
L. F. Thompson <C Co’s furniture
store, have been commenced. When
completed it will lie one of the hand
somest stores in the city.
Mr. Charley Williams, who will
have charge of Moore & Williams
branch brick works at Macon, will
still remain a citizen of Thomasville.
He will not remove his family to Ma
con.
Mr. James Holloway now has the
position o' clerk at the Whiddon.
He will lie popular with the traveling
public during his connection with the
house.
Miss Ermine Malone, of Quincy,
spent a few hours iu the city yester
day while en route to .Savannah, the
guest of the Misses Ball, on Dawson
street.
Sheriff Patterson, of Decatur coun
ty, passed through the city yesterday
cu route to Ocala, Fla., after Joe
Reynolds. Reynolds is a Thomasville
negro who got into trouble in Decatur
county about “something concerning
of a hog.”
The Other Side.
We give place to a communication
from “Broad Street” this morning, on
the subject of the park. Tito Times-
Enterprise, while sincerely ot the
opinion that the town should not let
the option pass to secure this valuable
property without accepting it, recog
nizes the fact tlritt there are honest
differences of opinion on the subject,
and is ready to give all sides a fair
hearing.
Our correspondent is mistaken in
intimating that only the “few who
are rich,” will vote for the bonds.
There is hardly a poor family in the
town, white or colored, who arc not
directly or indirectly, interested in,
and bcnefittcd, by the thousands of
visitors who flock here every winter.
Avenues of employment arc opened
tip to them, growing out of this North
ern travel, which would otherwise he
closed againiit them. Co ask the
bricklayer, the carpenter, the washer
woman, the day laborer, and the him
dreds who get remunerative employ
ment in almost every department of
life, by reason of this influx, if they
arc not largely interested, and benc-
filtcd, also, by this winter business?
And these clear headed voters will,
largely, vote for the bonds. It has
been shown that a man who pays
taxes on §1,000 worth of property,
would, in ease the bonds are issued,
have to pay, as his part, sixty-two and
a half cents a year, toward liquidating
the indebtedness. Is there a mechanic,
a laboring man, or any one else, who
would not he willing to pay that small
amount annually, to secure this valu
able property to the town, together
with all and the well known benefits
which would follow its purchase?
Then why shot Id not all these he in
terested in everything which promises
a continuation and an increase, if you
please, of this travel?
The town will never vote bonds for
building up manufacturing enter
prises. Private capital, combined,
must do this: Instead of setting “the
ornamental to one side,” why not let
it go along hand iu hand, side by
side, with the useful?
If rhomasville hasn't arrived at
that stage, when she can stand erect
and walk, she is a mighty backward
infant. We have been “crawling”
long enough. It is time to throw the
nursing bottle away.
There is no probability of “thous
ands” being spent on the park. It will
he enough for the town to purchase it.
It can he improved, gradually, in the
years to come. To say that the conn
cil are going to spend “thousands on
the park” is to say that they are reck
lessly disposed, ready to throw the
people’s money away. This they have
never done; nor is there any probabil
ity that it will ever he done. The
property holders, the voters of the
town, annually elect a mayor and
hoard of aldermen. When they want
improvemcnts|mndc on the park, they
will elect a council pledged to make
these improvements; hut until they
are ready for these improvements,
couiicilmcii will he elected who will
see that no “thousands” are expended
on the park. “Broad Street” can
trust the people on this point.

Working the Streets.
Marshal Spair, who is in charge of
the road working machinery, has
done some good work within the past
week. Commencing on Aug. 21st, lie
has worked liroad street, from Fletch
er to the railroad, out Smith avenue,
out McLean avenue to the Blacksliear
place, out Hanscll street to Remington
avenue; out Love street full length;
out Warren street full length; 1 )awson
street from the railroad to Jackson
street. It is needless to say all this
work has been well done, because
Marshal Spair docs no other kind, and
before he quits the town will ue put in
perfect order.

County Court.
Judge Mitchell, in the county court,
on Monday, heard the ease of Aleck
Cray, who was under arrest by virtue
of a warrant charging him with the
offense of assault with intent to murder
his wife. A trial of the case failed to
bear out the charge in the warrant and
it was dismissed and Aleck set free.
Little Jnuic Miller has returned to
licr home iu East end, from a visit to
relations in Charleston, S. C. Janie is
the little girl who was expressed to
her Iriends in Charleston from here
a few months ago, because none of the
family could accompany her, and
they thought that the safest way for
her to reach Charleston alone.
[communicated.]
A PRETTY PARK IS A PRETTY THING,
And a Heavy Tax is a Heavy Thing.
Let the people of Thomasville con
sider well the difference between the
two, and vote accordingly at the com
ing election.
The few who are either rich in the
material things of this world, or are in
a money-making way, will vote for the
park.
The many whose families arc de
pendent on their daily labor for bread
and meat will cither stay away from
the polls, or vote against it.
That a pretty park is as desirable
for the poor as for the rich is a well
ascertained fact. The poor say, “or
nament your court house square—
spend a few hundred dollars there,
instead ot a few thousand at Yankee
Paradise.”
Again they say if the town has or
can raise money to invest for the pub
lic benefit, put it in some railroad
enterprise that will benefit the town.
Or, if that is not practicable, put it
in some manufacturing enterprise,
which will increase the population and
bring more permanent settlers here.
Let the ornamental stand to one
side, until the useful is established on
a firm basis.
Utility just now is a more desirable
thing than ornament. We need peo
ple more than flowers; shops more
than stores; bread and meat more than
candies; one useful and skilled mechan
ic more than a dozen loungers. One
hard working laborer is of more value
than a dozen dudes.
It is not a good policy to try and
make a babe walk before it learns how
to crawl.
Let the people think of these things
before they vote to tax themselves
fifteen thousand dollars to buy a few
acres of Yankee Paradise.
A penny saved is a penny made.
When the park is bought, a few
thousand more will be spent to make
it a paradise, and who will have to pay
the few thousand?
Consider these things and act ac
cordingly, and when you have acted,
don’t complain at your heavy taxes,
but stand up to the rack, “fodder or
no lodder;” it was your business, and
you arc to blame if the burden is
heavy.
You might have prevented it, but
you did not.
Broad Street.
Died.
At Huron Beach, August 18, Cor
nelia Howard Strong, relict of the late
John W. Strong, aged 64 years. Fu
neral at 50 Winder street, at 3:30 p.

Handsome Badge.
Mr.T.N. Hopkins shows us his Con
federate survivors badge, which is a
beauty. It is of solid gold, inlaid
with colors, and lettered, “Survivor C.
S. A.— 1861-1S65—llm I’iiit/itr,” with
two Confederate battle flags crossed.
Mr. Hopkins is one of the youngest of

Squire Bibb’s car load of Texas

R. B. Mardre, Esq., spent the day
in Meigs, yesterday. He reports that

erable quantities.
Mr. W. S. Bibb, one of our old citi

very much ^jth a severe carbuncle,
which confines hint to his home.
Miss Irene Fisher, who has been
taking a- vacation at the north, and her
mother, Mrs. Florence Fisher, who has
been spending some time in Atlanta,
returned home yesterday afternoon.
Homer Miller, colored, plead guilty
yesterday in Judge Mitchell’s court,
to wife heating. The woman begged
that mercy would temper the judg
ment of the court. The Judge said
it was 812.75, or five months on the
gang. •
Mr. I. Levy, who has been spendihg
sonic weeks in New York, engaged in
purchasing fall and winter goods,
reached home yesterday morning. Wc
need scarcely add that Mr. Levy has
ransacked New York for the latest
goods and styles. He always docs.
The road commissioners of the Met
calfe district tried Mike Hill lor dc
fault in working the road, and sen
tenced him to confinement in county
jail for 10 days. He is now serving
out his sentence in the hotel de Hurst,
and his experience will no doubt make
him more particular another time to
obey the orders of the road overseer.
Boston is moving in the matter of
securing a park. Boston shows her
usual foresight and wisdom.—Thom
asville Times-Enterit.ise.
Boston has made the lust “move”
in that matter, and now owns the
park, and that is one ahead of our
big sister. You will have to stir the
natives up and get them to follow
Boston’s example and secure a park.
By the way, your town would do well
to follow Boston’s example in a good
many ways.—Boston World.
