A ride around our suburbs indi
cates a considerable activity in the
building and. improvement of prop
erty, outside as well ns inside
the incorporate limits. AVo notice
that arrangements are being made to
open a street running along and
through the property of Mr. McLen
don, to run beside the property of
Mr. Miller, out to the Tallahassee
road, running near the Connecticut
Industrial school. Just beyond the
residence of Mr. Miller, Col. Bowden,

piece ot land, is preparing to improve
the same for a residence. Beyond
that on the boulevard, and on Wyche
street coming into town, Mr. Hor-
roeks, who located here about one
month ago, is building a nice house,
and across from his place Mr. Horn
is improving his home, by a consider
able addition to his residence.
Scattered along our route we noticed
numbers of new houses aud improve
ments that wo were not familiar with,
but our ride satisfied us that rhomas
ville suburban property was in de
mand, and fast being developed.
Our ride only took in the scope of
territory designated, and wo shall
lake occasion to visit other portions
of tho suburbs at an early .day, to ob
serve what is being done in the way
of building up the town.

driving home from school. lhe
horse run away and threw them both
out of the buggy, Grafton had his
arm broken in two places, and Miss
Ola was badly stunned. Dr. Tullis,
who was sent lor, reports both as
getting along very well. Both are
favorites iu their schools, and with all
who catch a glimpse of their bright,
happy faces on the streets. We hope
to sec them, very soon, fully recover
ed and again with books and baskets,
coming to school.
Tho Minstrels are Coming.
The Clcvelaud-Haverly, minstrels
will open the season here on the 7th

Boyd’s opera house was again pack
ed last night and hundreds were turned
away. It was tho last performance
here of the Cleveland-Haverly min
strels, aud the "standing room only”
sign stared everybody in the face who
appeared at the box office after 8
o’clock. Two-thirds of the audience
were out of town people. At the per
formance yesterday afternoon the
house was also well filled. Minstrelsy
has taken remarkable strides during
tho Inst five years, and the Clcvelaud-
Haverly troup is heading the pro
cession. They give one of the clean
est and most enjoyable performances
imaginable, nnd are prime favorites
in this city.
A Now Tank.
A railroad gang is busily at work

hoochee extension, and convenient to

and will supply the water works for

besides the machine shops aud yards.
This will be quite au improvement
over tho old tank.
The fire on Wednesday night should
be a warning to house keepers. A
little care before retiring, in inspect
ing the premises, may avert a confla
gration.

Four Thousand Miles from Home.
Wc take the following from the
Centralia News, published at Centra-
lia, Washington Territory:
“We hear with pleasuro that Mrs.
C. J. Peters has arrived at her jour
ney’s end in safety. Mrs Peters came
to Centralia a few months ago with
her husband, the well-known owner
of the popular Red Front grocery, and
her son Charles, who runs the store.
Mrs. Peters opened a millinery parlor,
and soon induced Mrs. Merryweather
to share the work with her. Together
they make one of the most successful
firms in the city. It was with regret
that we heard that Mrs. Peters was
called back home to attend a sick sis
ter, and we trust that she will soon bo
among us again. Some of Mr. Peters’
Alabama friends, who are firm In the
belief that AVashington is a wilderness
and Centralia a backwoods town,
would he surprised if they were to
peep into the cosy home they have
made for themselves out here, fur
nished as it is in the most luxurious
style, rivaling eastern homes for com
fort and adornment.
“Chas. Peters will leave in a short
time for San Francisco, New Orleans,
nnd a trip through the South gener
ally.”
Charley will, we learn, come to
Thomasville, in order to accompany
his mother back to their far AA r estcrn
home.
One would be surprised to learn
the amount of fish sold in Tliomns-
ville. As an evidence of this we may
state thnt on last Saturday, Mr. A. F.
Prevatt sold in front of his establish
ment, four barrels,containing each one
hundred and thirty fish, and his sup
ply was exhausted long before night.
Pie could have easily sold two barrels
more. If fish is brain food, as is as
serted, then tfie intellectual develop
ment of the man and brother; and by
the way these do most of the buying,
is assured.
Annual Inspection Train.
The special inspection train, with
Capt. R. G. Fleming, Superintendent

variety, and was grown iu the sheriff’s
garden.
Editor Ben Russell, of the Bain-
bridge Democrat, who accompanied
the farmers and editors out AVcst,
passed through yesterday enroute
home.
In viewof the possibility, even the
probability of a storm, the farmers
should utilize every moment in get
ting out their cotton. AVo ore in the
midst of the storm season. It may
come at any hour.

Wedding Chimes.
On Sunday morning, Sept. 8th,
Bethpage Sunday school received an
invitation to attend the marriage of
Mrs. Mat AVilliams and Mr. AVm.
Barwick. The school attended iu a
body, and a shower of hearty con
gratulations greeted the bride, who
has long been identified with the
school, and recognized as one of its
best and most earnest workers. On
next evening a large number of the
young people of the neighborhood, of
both sexes, gathered at Bethpage and
marched to the residence of the newly
married couple for the purpose of
serenading them. AVith violin, harp,
flute and guitar, accompanied by a
score of well trained voices, they
made the soft night air. tremulous
with melody. This spontaneous com
pliment to the bride and groom was,
no doubt, highly appreciated.
The young people in that neighbor
hood expect to marry themselves, and
they are governed by tho Golden
Rule.
Au electric nrc light will be placed
in front of the Gulf House. The poles
were put up yesterday. It is very

windows.
