Mitchell attended a meeting of the projectors of the above road at Augusta this week. He re turned Friday night, and reports that an organization lms been perfected. Mr. C. E. Smith was elected Presi dent., and Col. A. ^P. Wright, Vice President, Mr. Robert Bearden, of Moultrie, was elected one of the Direc tors. Steps were taken for an imme diate survey of this line, and also for a thorough canvass of the territory between Thomasville and Augusta. This will be gratifying news to the citizens of Thomasville. The gentle men who are interested in this scheme are well known capitalists and rail road experts. A connection with Augusta, is, without doubt, one of the most important to Thomasville which could lie made. Its results will be far reaching. It will placo Thomasville in direct aiid vital con nection with all the great trunk lines leading through Georgia to the sea board. Tho benefits to be derived from such connections cannot be over estimated ; it will vitalize business, make the town a competitive point, increase her population, build up new industries, and start the busy hum of many new enterprises. These will bring population, capital and pros perity. This enterprise should, ns it will, receive the hearty support of our business men, as well ns others who are interested in the future pros perity ot Tlionmsville. We have ar rived at a period iu our history, where inaction will he fatal. Action, firm, vigorous action, should he our watch word. From Old Kentucky. Mr. W. B. Williams, a brother-in-law of Capt. Shuck Whittaker, whose pres ence in the city yesterday we noted, bought when leaving Cincinnati,a round trip ticket to Thomasville for one fare. These round trip tickets to this and other southern points, arc being sold by Cincinnati Southern and L. & N. roads. They are good for thirty days, and arc only sold at intervals of about ten days. The first were sold on the loth of this month. These sales of round trip tickets will again occur on Jljc 20th inst., and on the lirst of Oct. The rates arc sufficiently low to induce many western people, who arc looking southward for homes, to visit this sec tion. Mr. Williams has already invested in property here, and wiH, in all prob ability, make Thomasville bis borne. He will be cordially welcomed by all classes of otir citizens. We want just such settlers as Mr. Williams rep resents. For the Children. Anything affecting the careful train ing of children and their future useful ness, should claim thccarncst atten tion of parents. In connection with these thoughts, we call attention to the communication of Miss Barnes. She proposes, commencing to-morrow, to take charge of and teach these little toddlers of Thomasville, these men and women of the futlire, two weeks, free of any charge. Parents should read the communication. Griffin and Sturdivant. Our readers will notice the new ad vertisement of Messrs. Griffin & Stur divant, who recently enlarged their store room and put in a very large stock of harness, saddles, bridles, whips, and everything pertaining to their line, as well as having added a line of carriages and buggies to their trade. They do a general repair bus iness also, and all goods sold and work done is guaranteed to give satis faction. Call on them. Tho house on Madisoastreet, kept by Charity Tooke, as a boarding house for the waiters of the I’iuey Woods hotel, is beiug considerably enlarged for their accomodation this winter. The meetings at the Methodist church, during the past week, were well attended and wero-very interesting and profitable. They will be contin ued during the present week. Mako Your Town Attractive. Elsewhere will be found an article taken from the Floridian, to which wo call the attention of our readers. It is an argument in favor of beauti fying and making attractive the Cap ital city of Florida. The arguments will apply with equal force to Thom asville. It is a well known truth, and we need not reiterate it here, that Thomasville, now more than ever, de pends upon her local attractions. Business has changed. Merchants who formerly handled osnaburgs, now handle silks. It is becoming more apparent every day that the prosperi ty of Thomasville depends largely on her winter business. While this should not he the case, it is neverthe less true. Without the improvements which should characterize and mark winter resorts in the South, Tliomas- villc will he left, left in the lurch. There are many things to be clone, among the most important, is the acquisition of the park. That will he accomplished in the near future, but homes and Streets should he beautified as well. Not only should attention bo paid to improving and beautifying the'town, but our suburban territory should also receive attention. Speak ing of suburban surroundings, our drives rank first in importance. These should be kept in first-class or der all the year round, ami more es pecially during the winter months. Thomasville cannot afford to tail in giving the attention to these and other improvements which will add to her already many attractions. The com ing season promises to he a most :;ue- cussful one. Let everything lie done possible to make tho place and its surroundings attractive as possible. One man cannot do tho work. It requires the co operation of all our citizens. If every one will lend their aid, even in a small way, Thomasvjllc will soon rank, even if it does not already, as one of the most attractive and delightful resorts of tho South. Our Hotel and hoarding house accommodations are equal to tho best. What wo want now is more out-door attractions. These can lie added to gradually, and at little cost. Let everybody co operate in the work. Bead the article from the Floridian, and see what our neighbors propose to do. There is a lesson in it fin- Thom- asvillc. A Beautiful Water-Fall. Hon. R. A. Connell, ot Decatur county, was in the city yesterday. Mr. Connell is one of the progressive men of his section, lie has recently had a beautiful series of views and pictures taken of his premises and vicinity. One of these pictures, a splendid water-fall, has been left at this old. e. The falls are about seven miles north of Whigham, amidst the most beauti ful scenery of southwest Georgia, and near the celebrated Cane lakes. The water falls about one hundred feet, and disappears as soon as it strikes the ground. At nud day the view is indescribably beautiful. The water falling acts as prisms for the sun's rays, producing a splendid rain bow. A drive of about one hour through a dense pine lorcst, and through the large farms of Mr. Connell, brings one to the falls, and it is a trip well worth the taking. This view, and others, were taken by Thotnasville's well known artists, Messrs Moller & Hawthorn, and the work reflects credit on these gentle men. The New Railroad. The following arc the Thomasvilie directors in the Augusta and West Florida railroad: A. 1’. Wright, A. T. McIntyre, Sr., Thos. C. Mitchell and S. L. Hayes. Thomasville is well and ably represented. • Mr. R. T. Brewer, representing the '‘Old Homestead,'’ a monthly publica tion by Davis Bros., Savannah, is in the city in the interest of that publica tion. The journal has a wide and extensive circulation. Mr. Brewer proposes to write up Thomasville and its various and varied attractions. We commend him and his proposed work to the kindly consideration ot the citizens of Thomasville. About Kindergarten Schools and Chil dren. I'Mitur Times. Enterprise: Some one said to me since my re turn, “.Miss Barnes, the people here do not know enough about, and have not seen enough of Kindergarten work, to Ikj taken with it, or care much for it.” As 1 afterwards thought about it, 1 remembered that during my two years work, we have had very little company to sec the children at work. The parents who have been here to see for themselves how their children are working, and how the work com pares with that of other children, I am afraid I could count on my fingers on one hand. At our Christmas and closing exercises you have always taken so much interest, and given us a good audience, so that I am afraid 1 have been nt fault in not giving you more cordial invitations to come and sec us at any time. • Your leaving the children so entire ly with me, has shown your confi dence in iny work, and I appreciate and thank you for it, but I want you to know for yourselves by coming to sec them at work. Some, I know, have seen and un derstand Kindergarten work, hilt as there may bo many who do not, I will endeavor to place it before you iu the future in such a way that you may know more of it if you wish. The work is comparatively new, and it always takes time to introduce new and improved work. At first, there were only a few private schools in America, now you will find one or more in every town or village of any size, and in cities you will find them scattered here and there everywhere, ft is only the last year or two that they have been introduced into the public schools. This year they arc adding them to many iu cities and towns. You will find training classes for teachers, mothers and nurses, in the cities, eaclij having a separate course which has its place in tho chillis life, the child when it is old enough to use playthings, and the mother and nurse lay the foundation (or the teacher to begin her work. The time is coming when only trained nurses for children he iu demand. It is not many years since wo first heard of trained, nurses for sick peo ple. Certainly trained nurses for children are of equally as much im portance. You will at once see there i.s a very high aim here, and u great deal to he accomplished, bolero wc reach it, but by doing a little at a lime, we can ae complish much with united work. “Little drops of water make the mighty ocean.” There has been more work done in the school than any other way yet, more children can he reached that way, but much will he done by the mother and nurse in tho future. If you could only see these people who have done so much to advance this work, how much they have at tained, and how much in earnest they are for the greatest good to the child, you would certainly think it is worth looking into, and that their opinions and ideas are worth some thing. i ask the people who arc interested ill this work to send their children, who are about 4A years old and up, who have never been to school, to mo to-morrow morning, at 9 o'clock. I will keep them until 12 m., and give them Kindergarten work two weeks free of charge. The first week leave them to us to work with, the second we will he glad to have any one visit us as much as you like, every day if you wish ; or any time after. After the two weeks are up, if you do not wish to leave them longer, we will not feel hurt to have you take them away. I did not think of doing this until the above remark set me to thinking how I could best let you know more of the work, consequently the she rt notice docs not give me time to go to each one. Very respectfully, Mary F. Barnes. 1*. S.—Mv primary school begins Monday, and the improved methods arc carried on through the other grades. For further information call and see me. M. F. B.
