In a well written letter to the Thomasvil.le Times-Enterprise, her home paper, Miss Barnes takes occasion to say: ■•Mr. and Mrs. Hailmann are two of the grandest, noblest educational workers in the United States. In the educational papers, teaching in schools and institutes, their whole aim seems to be the most good to the child. Their instruction throughout shows the most careful observation, and the effects of the different kinds ol work on the child. Bis po-ition as teacher in kindergarten schools, also of train ing classes, has given them something besides theory to base their ideas on.” We take the above from one of our western exchanges.

A NEW CITY ON THESEA COAST OF GEORGIA. An Old Homestead Turned into a City— What a Railroad Docs. Darien, Ga., Sept. 13,1889. Dear Times-Enterprise: I left home on a flying business trip of a few days, and will return on Monday. I find everybody in this section elated over the prospect of their new railroad, which is now ail assured thing beyond the possibility of doubt. I have just visited the pres ent terminus, or rather starting point, of the road, ft is ntBellville, the old homestead of the Hopkins family— the tramping grounds of my father’s boyhood days—twelve miles from Da rien, towards Savannah. It seems a little uureal that the old plantation should become a city, but there is no longdV any question of it. The enthu siasm of the citizens runs high; excite ment is at blood heat, and well it might he. There is no more eligible location for a city on the Southqfii coast, than Belleville. Its topography and its sanitary adaptability arc un surpassed anywhere. It is high and dry, level, and of greater altitude than any other point on the Georgia coast. The natural drainage is complete, and sewerage is a simple and easy matter. It consists of several thousands of acres, which jut out, peninsula like, into Sapelo river, an arm of the sea, and is only seven miles from the At lantic ocean. The harbor is the safest, most roomy, and best in every way, of any that Georgia claims. It is about one mile wide, for even a great dis tance inland from this point. Large gunboats ran up it during the war; in fact, the largest ship that floats on the ocean can sail right up to Belleville. The harbor is lnnd-lockcd by Craiton, Sapelo, St. Catherine and Blackboard islands, having a depth at tlio bar of 28 feet. That off Brunswick, so boast cd about, is only 21 feet over the bar at high water. Tho railroad is graded and bridged to Walthourville, on the 8. F. & W. II. R. The ties arc fast being laid, the iron has been bought, and the railroad docks are nearly completed for the landing of the iron, engines and rolling stock of the road. Northern capitalists have already made an outlay of 860,000, aud many thousands moro will soon ho invested. The town is being laid out in lots for sale. Hotels will he built; artesian wells will be added to the already fine supply of pure freestone water, and there is no longer any doubt in the minds of the most skeptical that these old fields and pincy woods, which have been so long buried in ob scurity, will rise, Phtcnix like, into a bright and'prosperous city, the peer of any, and inferior to none of Georgia’s thriving sea-coast towns. The fishing is superb, tlie hunting excellent, both on the mainland and the islands. Quail, squirrels and tur keys arc .plentiful, and deer, particu larly on the islands, are as thick as rabbits with us. It will give you a better idea of the sport, when I tell you that Mr. P. Hopkins, of Darien, and a party of less than six in num ber, killed ten deer in a part of a day, on Blackboard island. I have myself flushed six in an hour, hut not being quick enough on trigger, I failed to hag any of them. However, I had the pleasure ot firing off my gun, aud feeling my hair quickly stiffen up and lift my hat to the fast disappearing white tails, which played “now you see it, and now you don’t,” in the saw palmetto, and like the old gray mare to Bro. Watkins, seemed to say, “fare thee well, Bro. Hopkins.” I experi enced what you perhaps have never enjoyed, a genuine “buck ague.” This islaud afforded headquarters for the old pirato, Blackbeard. It is here that his millions ol ill gotten gains arc said to he buried. The United States government has sunk an artesian well at its quarantine station on the south end of the island, which spouts hot, smoking water, about tnc same temperature of the Carolina Hot Springs. Some persons think it comes from Blackoeard’s grave. J. G. H. Augusta and West Florida. The Augusta nnd West Florida Railway company, was organized yes terday, by the electioii of Mr. C. E. Smith, of Washington, as President; A. P. Wright, of Thomasville, as Vice President; and Colden Ilhind, of this city, as Secretary and Treasury. The directors are Jesse Thompson, W. N. Mcrcier, J. P. Verdery, F. B. Pope nnd Colden Ilhind, of Augusta ; A. P. Wright, A. T. McIntyre, Sr., Thomas C. Mitchell and S. L. Hayes, of Thomasville ; Robert Bearden, of Moultrie; J. D. Mayntrd, of Abbe ville; W. W. Asliburn, of Eastman. W. L. Phil lips, of Louisville; T. C. Ilogue, C. E. Smith and T. B. Grecu, of Washington ; Janies M. Smith, of Oglethorpe county ; nnd T. J. Demp sey, of Jackson. The road is to he built from Augus ta to Thomasville, and will probably pass through the towns of Louisville, Dublin, Eastman, Abbeville, Irwin- ville and Moultrie. Most of the counties along the line were represented at the meeting, and every delegation present promised a liberal support to the enterprise. A surveying corps will take the field next week, and President Smith will commence an active canvass for suli- scriptions at once. The directors are mostly active, successful business men, and they are earnest in taking hold of this work. The Augusta and West Florida is a most important road for Augusta, and should receive hearty encouragement from all of our people.—Augusta Chronicle. The Figures. For the information of “Flctchervillc,” and all parties interested in his inquiry ns to the current expenses of the town’, we will state that the information asked for will be given to-morrow, and we may add, that the figures will be satisfacto ry to the tax-payers, as well as to the Iriends of tlie park, for they clearly dem onstrate that the park bonds can be issued without any detriment to any necessary improvement, or without in any way crippling the finances of the town. The men who arc advocating the park would not do so if it crip pled the town. Sunday and yesterday were warm days. While we were basking in September sun, the north-west, or a good portion of it, was covered with a white mantle of snow. Come south, ye shivering ones. It begins to look as if there was another reconstruction and carpet hag era ahead of the South. The south has had some experience of this kind in the past, aud she is fully prepared to meet the. emergency again. Mr. .1. M. Scott and wife, nee Miss Ilossie Cochran, of Camilla, were at tlie Stuart last night. They were married yesterday, and are en route to their future home, Bainbridgc. Miss Cochran has a number of rela tives in Thomas. Mrs. Mattie Robinson, of Thomas ville, who was the guest of Mrs. Allie Glenn for a few days, returned home Thursday morning. She made many friends during her short stay, who will be glad to see her in Cairo again.— Cairo Record. A few more weeks of careful atten tion to the sanitary condition of the town, and we will drift into the cool, clear crisp fall weather. Now is the time for unusual precautions. The town has been remarkably healthy this summer. Keep it so for the balance of the season. Mr. S. Alexander Smith aud Mr. George O. Jones, will leave to-day for New York, where they will cuter the College of Physicians aud Sur geons. These are bright joung Thom- asvillc men, aud they will no doubt •make their way, successfully, in tlie great metropolis. Gin House Insurance, —WITH— llansell & Merrill, Thomasvillo, Ga.
