Postmaster Sapp Resigns.
Captain Sapp has forwarded his
resignation as postmaster to Washing
ton. The small allowance for clerks
here, the exactions of the position, the
difficulty of securing enough compe
tent help during the winter months,
has made the office anything but de
sirable. The fact is, that with the
small allowance set apart for this office,
it takes the great bulk of the income
to pay lor running the office. Captain
Sapp has been expecting—as all dem
ocratic office-holders have—to hear his
head drop in the basket any fine morn
ing. For the reasons above, and the
additional one that he preferred re
signing rather than hold on, when his
decapitation might be ordered by the
republican powers that be, at any mo
ment, his resignation has been volun
tarily tendered.
With the limited allowance which
has been given him, lie lias adminis
tered the office to die very best of bis
ability, and with an earnest effort to
serve the public faithfully.
Capt. Sapp will go out of the office
with clean hands, turning the office
over to his successor—whoever,he may
be—with correctly balanced books.
May prosperity follow Henry M.
Sapp wherever he goes. No man
deserves more kindly treatment at the
hands of fortune.
Settled at Last.
The county commissioners met
yesterday' and purchased a three acre
lot on Stevens street for a jail site.
And they made a mightly good trade
for the county. Private parties would
have paid the same, perhaps more,
for the lot. The price paid was $1,000.
A representative of the Pauly Jail
Co., will bo here on Monday, (he is
now in Marianna, Fla.,) when work
will promptly begin on the new jail.
Every one is glad that the location is
fixed, and. that work will commence at
once.
BRITISH MEDICAL ASSOCIATION.
Death of Rosa Turnbull.
We exceedingly regret the dcatli
of Miss Rosa Turnbull, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Thcadorc Turnbull, at
their home in Miccosukie, on yester
day, September 10th, of that terrible
disease consumption. Her remains
will be interred in the Monticcllo
cemetery at 12 o’clock, m., to day
Thc deceased had just budded into
womanhood, being about 20 years of
age, and was an accomplished and
beautiful young lady,, the idol ot her
parents and friends; but death has
relieved them of the charge, and she
passed to that bourne from whence
no traveler returns—to that New
Jerusalem, whose beautiful streets are
paved with gold, and where the
myriad host of angels are chanting
praises before the throne of the eter
nal ever more. We deeply sympa
thige with the afflicted parents in their
carthly loss, but they must remember
that it is their Rosa’s eternal gain, for
she is now an angel in heaven, habit
ed in garments of spotless white, free
trom sickness and stillering, and
chanting hymns jf gladness before the
jewet bedecked throne.—Monticoll.)
Constitution.
The many friends of the young
lady in Thomasville will lie pained
to learn of her death.
A Thomasville correspondent writes:
It may not be generally known that
the hops of commerce glow luxuriantly
in Thomas county. The claim is
sometimes made that anything will
grow here, and it seems to be about
true. We have a fine sprig of hops
now upon our desk. It is full of flower
buds nearly ready for picking. It was
taken from a vine in the yard of Mac
Davis, a prominent colored citizen of
Thomasville. Mac’s wife makes fine
bread from yeast prepared from these
hops. We have now before us an
yeast cake made by her, and it is as
fine as any in the grocery stores. The
vine has grown until it covers the
fence, a small house near by, a lot of
shrubbery, and lias climbed to the top
ot a neighboring tree. It presents a
very graceful and pretty appearance,
and is quite ornamental. Mac used
to live near Miilcdgeville, and this hop
vine was brought from that section.
He remembers many of the prominent
families ot Miilcdgeville ol ante-bellum
days, and says they all used home
raised hops.—Constitution.
What It Says About Keeping Cities
Healthy.
Times-Enterprise: The commu
nication from the chairman of the
finance committee ol the council, ex
hibits a splendid condition of our town
treasury, and bow our prosperous
state and the judicious manage
ment ol municipal finances by the
present council and refering to your
editorial comments on tiic same in
regard to the park purchase, as to our
ample ability to make the purchase, I
must say that all of those wiio have
opposed that purchase on the ground
of lack of means lor the purchase, it is
a complete answer, and f am sure all
honest objectors on that score can
now have none.
There are other honest objectors to
the purchase who think Thomasville
should have more sewerage before the
park is purchased. To them I will
quote from the proceedings of the
British Medical Association, held at
Leeds, England, last month as follows:
Resolution, were introduced, among
others, the following upon the disposal
of town refuse, presented by the Sec
tion in Public Medicine.
1. That this meeting hereby express
es its disapproval of any system of
middens, sewers, cesspits, dust-bins,
etc., which involves the storage of filth
or house refuse in the immediate
neighborhood of dwellings.
2. That it further considers tiiat in
towns, villages and other populous
places the sanitary authority should
itself undertake the removal of such
refuse from each household at frequent,
regular, and, in populous places, daily-
intervals, at public expense, without
waiting for notice to be given by the
householder.
3. That it expresses its preference
for small movable, water-tight recep
tacles lor the collection of house refuse
or other excreta, in order to fill the
essential conditions of preventing pol
lution of soil as well as air.
Our city has been using this method
now for a year, though not using the
‘water-tight receptacles,’ consequently
if our present system is lolly carried
out, we have the endorsement of the
British Medical Association as to
efficacy.
Our sick list and death rate lor this
summer lias botii been less than las
summer.
This, it seems to us, will satisfy the
opponents of the park purchase,
the ground of greater need fur sewer
age.
Respectfully yours,
T. M. McIntosh, M.I).

My editor’s absence last week pre
vented a change of ad., but there is
no change in my principles of trade.
Everything at lowest prices for Cash.
This month is the calm before the
storm in the millinery line. People
are casting about for new styles and
goods and above all for the best place
to buy.
I do not boast ol ‘-an immense stock
to be sold below cost in 30 days;”
that is a chestnut. No one believes
it, but if you wish the cream ot the
market in stylish goods at prices that
will make $2 equal $3, every time and
anywhere, I beg you to remember my
claim and petition for your trade.
Not far away—only a few steps
down on lower Broad.
