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. — m — 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.

He is a member of the Augusta branch of the Confederate survivors’ associ ation. Squire Bibb’s car load of Texas ponies are here. R. B. Mardre, Esq., spent the day in Meigs, yesterday. He reports that cotton is being carried there in consid erable quantities. Mr. W. S. Bibb, one of our old citi zen, we regret to learn, is suffering 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.
