By Moonlight.
A very enjoyable moonlight ride
was indulged in last evening. A party
composed of five couples and one out

and fell ycry lonely and envious of the
more lucky ones who had “their girls”
with them.
They went out to Mr. Mollcr's, on
the McIntyre road, and serenaded the
family, who came out and insisted that
the party come in and partake 01 some
■wine and cake,which they very joyfully
did, and were royally treated. The
return to town was enlivened with
singing. Several people were serenad
ed in town, but all had retired with
the exception of Dr. Hopkins, who,
like Mr. Moller, insisted on all going
in the house, where a bountiful supper
awaited the hungry party, - who did
justice to the goodies.
The party was composed of Mrs.
Dr. Hopkins and Mr. Sam Mallard,
who acted in the capacity of chape
rones, Misses George Mitchell, Stella
Baker and Lucille Linton; Messrs
Maurice Grausman, Chas. Bondurant,
Chas. Smith and Chas. Graves.

A Card.
On or about the 30th of August,
myself and a friend wero walking
down Broad street, Thomasvillc, Ga.
I noticed a house for rent on the cor
ner of Broad and Clay streets. I had
recently received letters from friends,
requesting me to rent a good house for
them in Thomasvillc, for tho coming
season. I took the liberty to open the
gate and enter the yard, with a view
to examine the house and lot—un
occupied and said for rent. 'While I
was on the lot I saw a man under a
large scuppernong grape vine, on said
lot. I did not know him, but I asked
if there was any harm in a fellow eat
ing a few grapes. lie said, none
whatever. We then ate a few grapes,
and while wo were under the vine
several other gentlemen came up nnd
joined us. And in justice to my
self, I will mention tho names of those
I knew: Mr. Joe Mardrc, Mr. Amos
Bottoms and A. P. Ilarlcy.
It seems, however, that Mr. Amos
Bottoms was a spy, or at least reported
me to the owner of the property for
trespassing. 1 have seen quite a num
ber of people, before and since, go on
the said lot nnd help themselves to the
grapes, and nothing said.
The next day, as I was going to my
dinner, the Sheriff of Thomas county
arrested me on the streets of Thomas
villc, on a warrant charging me
with trespassing on 011c J. A. Lin
ton’s lot, and eating grapes, to the
amount of ten cents. I told the
Sheriff I was on said lot, and did eat a
few grapes, but I had no idea that 1
was trepassing, under the circum
stances. I attempted to explain the
nature of my business on the lot, but
he said I would have to give bond or
go to jail. I told him I could give
the bond, but preferred to go at once
beforo Judge Mitchell and settle the
case. We then went to his office, hut
the Judge was not in. The Sheriff
then turned me over to his deputy,
with orders to put me in jail. • I in
sisted I could give the boud, if lie
(the deputy) would go with me to sec
some merchants on Broad street, not
far away. His reply wns:
"I am ordered to put you in jail,
mid come on.”
On my way to jail my friend Mr.
W. C. Eason, happened to discover
my position, and came to my relief
n nd stood my bond for fifty dollars,
for my appearance at court, on the
following Wednesday, Itli of Sept. It
was the first case of nny kind I ever
lmd in court, nnd my friends advised
me not to employ counsel, as nothing
could he made of the case, and the
cost would not, perhaps, exceed three
or four dollars. But I found the cost
wns one of the most important features
of the case, nnd while I quietly yield
ed,’and paid the cost demanded of me,
813.75, not including 81.00 paid the
sheriff for writing my bond, on the
day of my arrest, I herewith publicly
protest against tho whole proceeding,
and feel that I have been very un
justly treated, anil perhaps seriously
injured in this community, aipl in
justice to myself. 1 have deemed it
necessary to publish this card of vin
dication. S. D. Allison,
Formerly of Hillsboro, X. C.
Squire Mardre says that Mr. T. C.
Mitchell will make eighty bales of cot

Notice ot Dissolution.
The firm of Fife k Beverly has this day
been dissolved by mutual consent. J. L.
Beverly assumes all contracts and liabilities
of the firm, and to him all debts now owing
them must be paid. Mr. Beverly will con
duct the business in all its departments, and
will be thoroughly equipped to fill all orders

A CARD.
Ill retiring from the firm of Fife k Beverly,
1 do so with reluctance, as my connection
with this business and my partner, for the
past year and a half, lias been of the most
pleasant nature. Mr. Beverly, my successor,
needs no introduction to this community
and the trade at large, as he is well known
ns a gentleman of sterling worth, and as a
thorough mill and business man has but few
superiors. lie will be as well prepared as
heretofore to accommodate the trade, and I
bespeak for him that support that has been
so liberally extended this mill in the past.
Very Respectfully,
J. G. Fifk.
