Never in the history of Thomasville, was there a more pressing necessity for every citizen to stand shoulder to shoulder in the advocacy of every thing calculated to build up the inter ests of the town.

They Were Married- “I pronounce you man wife,” said Judge Mitchell in his office, Wednes day morning, to Miss Sallic Stephens and Mr. Dellic Myrick, a couple who had stepped into the Judge’s office to be made one. And they walked down stairs, up the street, and out into the broad and glorious country, where the birds were singing, the golden har vest being gathered, and the little rills singing on their way to the sea : where tho sky was blue, and the air pure ; where the wild flowers were blooming; where the gentle breezes were whis pering through the pines; where the aroma of new-mown hay permeated tho surroundings; where the song of the reaper was heard; where grazing herds were seen; where the sunlight danced thro’ the overhanging boughs; where the green grass—nature’s car pet—was spread out; where field and forest, and hill and dale, alternated; where the husbandman tilled his fields; where flower bordered paths meander ed through wooded lawns, and where dame nature opened svide her arms to receive her children. Happy rural couple? happier, they, than many who go from hymen’s altar to gilded halls, where wealth glitters and fashion sways; happier, they, than many who start on the untried journey of matri mony, from flower bedecked chancels ; happier they, in their rural simplicity, than many bridal couples who tread on Brnssells carpets; happier, they, in their rustic country home, than many who dwell in stately mansions. Their wants arc few and simple. A glittering diamond would have no special attraction for the bride, and the groom cares not for a swallow tail coat. They are satisfied with their lot, and in this lies the secret of their happiness. Better ’tis ’tis so. Married. In Cairo, Ga., on Wednesday, the 4th inst, Rev, Mr. Wallace officiating, Mr. J. lit. McI.KAN.and Miss IIennie Mitchelk. The bridal couple took the first train for Thomasville, and are now the guests of the Whiddon. The bride groom is a cousin of Mr. K. T. McLean. He will make his home here. To the newly wedded couple the Times-Enteri’rise extends sincere congratulations. Wants Light, Editok Times-Enterprise: As the subject of “bonds” or "no bonds,” for the purchase of Paradise Park, is agitating the voters of Thom- villo just now, and as a good many of the citizens and tax-payers of the city would like to know the financial con dition of the city before deciding pro and con, would it be out of order to ask the chairman of finance committee to publish in the city paper a tlridhj correct, itemized statem'ent of the finan cial condition of the city, and to in clude in his report the amounts due on bonds, notes, mortgages, accounts, cash on hand, etc.? We ask for this statement for the reason that only a short while ago the city couucil was petitioned by a number of tax-payers to put lights in a prominent resident part of the city, and said petition was refused on the grounds that the city was in no financial condition to add the extra expense of putting up new 1 igh t s. Fi, ETCH eh v ILL E. Judging from the sales of real es tate already made to northern and western parties, and in every instance valuablo improvements will he made at once, the outlook for an active real estate market, during the coming season, is very encouraging. You can’t keep Thomasville down, There isu’t a town in Georgia or Florida, paying more for cotton than Thomsville is. And when it comes to stocks of goods, Thomasville over shadows any place in this entire sec tion. In farmers’ supplies, aud fine goods, as well, this place handles as heavy stocks as do many cities of great er population. Thomasville cannot afford to retro grade. DIED. At the residence ol her husband, on Warren street, at ten minutes past one o’clock, yesterday afternoon, Mrs. L. J. Spitz. The deceased was in her 48th year. For long years she was a most consistent Christian, and a mem ber of the Baptist church. The de ceased had been in failing health for many years, but bore, throughout these years of suffering, her afflictions with that Christian fortitude and resignation which has characterized Christians since the plan ol salvation was made perfect. She IcaVfcs a bright heritage to her husband and three orphaned children; a heritage of iove and faith, a faith which was anchored beyond the vale. She was a devoted wife and loving mother, and her vacant chair will be a sad reminder of an absent wife and mother. The spirit was gently loosened from its tenement of clay, and took its heavenward flight surrounded by fam ily and friends. Her sister, Mrs. Peters, of Washing ton Ter., is on her way, but will reach here too late for the funeral, which will take place from_^hc residence at 9 o’clock this morning. In the absence ot the Rev. Mr.Wil liams, pastor of the Baptist cljurch, the services will be conducted by the Rev. Mr. McDoncll. The friends of the family arc invited to attend the services.
