will do well to see Mr. Mallette, who
will show the land.
Electricity vs. Gas-
The town, if we remember correctly,
is under a twenty-five year contract to
take fifty street lights from the Gas
Co. This number they took when gas
was first introduced. Since that time
the demand for lights has induced the
council to add ten or fifteen additional
lights. We assume that the town
only bound for fifty lights. If this be
true, would it not be a good idea to
substitute the electric arc lights, now
suspended at the intersection of Broad
and Jackson, and Broad and Fletcher,
in lieu of the eight gas lamps used to
light these corners? The town pays
two hundred and forty dollars per an
num for these 8 lights, and they could
doubtless save money by substituting
the electric lights. Besides, the arc
lights light up the corners and adjacent
streets more brilliantly than the gas
As good lights and economy are the
watch words of the hour, we throw
out the suggeslion for what it may be
worth—if it be worth anything—for
the consideration of the city fathers.
There is another view of it: We
should like lor visitors and strangers
coming to Thomasville to see Broad
street, at least, flooded with electric
lights. It speaks of progress, keeping
up with the procession and this im
pression is worth something to. the
town.
We would say nothing to cripple the
gas company; we want them to receive
their lull share of patronage; want
them to do well, to make a fair divi
dend on their investment, but for the
reasons assigned we think the substi
tuting of the arc electric lights for the
gas lights mentioned, would be a
good thing for the town. And we
are lor the town, first, last, and all the
time.
It might not be a bad idea, in fact,
we think it would be a good one, to
put two additional arc lights on Broad
one between the Masury and the court
house, and tlie other near the railroad
and the Piney Woods hotel. This
would flood liroad with splendid
lights. %nd then the new lights might
be put on Jackson, one at the city hall
and two more between Broad and the
depot. This would light the central
portion of the city, and be a great
safeguard a'gainst burglars.
In the territory mentioned there are
29 street lamps. These cost the town
$880. The number of electric arc
lights mentioned (seven) could doubt
less be put up and run for less money.
Good, economical lights are what the
town wants.
The gas lights removed, over and
above the fifty—which the town is
bound to take, might be placed at
other points where they are needed.
This will be economy for the town.

"Don’t Shoot!”
Friday night, about 10 o’clock,
some oue entered the residence of Mr.-
T. C. Mitchell, ou Remington Avenue.
The family were sleeping up stairs,
and Mrs. Mitchell heard the thief
walking about below, and called out
of tho window. Mr. Will Mitchell,
who lives just noross the street from
his father’s, responded and entered
the houso through a window, just
as the would-be burglar quitted the
house by the door. Mr. Mitchell shot
at him twice with a pistol, just as he
was entering the pear grove adjoining
the front yard, hut ceased firing,
when the fellow cried out, “don’t
shoot,” thinking he had hit him.
Will is a good shot, but ruuuing after
a burglar, over rough ground, bare
footed, clad in sleeping attire, dodgitig
trees and overhanging limbs, is not
calculated to make one’s aim any bet
ter. Now if tlie fellow bail been
thrown from a trap, Will would have
winged him certain.
It is not known whether the in
truder was while or blnek.
Mr. Mitchell found a silver fork
which the thief dropped in his flight,
yesterday morning.
The Babies Rule tho World.
Photographer H. L. Clark, has ar
ranged a new selection of photo
graphs and views in his cabinet.
They arc finely executed. He has
one collection which he calls liis
•‘baby show.” It contains thirty-six
pictures of babies in different posi
tions, and each wearing a different
expression on the chubby little face.
No mother can pnss the collection
without stopping to look at it. Even
a crusty old bachelor would melt,
when lookiug at these three dozen
little innocents. Babies rule the
world. We mean that babies rule
their mothers, the mothers rule the
husbands, and the husband rule the
world.
Too Handy With His Pistol.
Marshal Spair arrested Sherman
Thompson, colored, yesterday for a
variety of offenses. It seems that
Sherman started out to paint the town
red, and was succeeding very well,
when he was pulled in. He was armed
with a pistol and several drinks, the
former he pointed at Richard Green,
the bar tender of the San Souci, on
lower Jackson, Besides being drunk
and disorderly, he was wanted for
failing to pay a police court fine. He
was given a cell in the jail, where he
‘will ruminate to-day on the mutability
of human affairs.

of qualified voters of said town (the entire
registered vt te of said town being 373), in
accordance with the requirements o! said act,
I declare tlie result of said election to be in
favor of "Bonds,” nnd the issuing of said

The series of meetings which have
been in progress at the Methodist
church for some days, were brought to
a close on Friday night. Considerable
amount of interest was shown at these
meetings, aud we trust thtft much and
lasting good may be (he result.
Tho Uniform of Tho South Georgia Ca
dets.
Tho committee awarded the con
tract yesterday for furnishing the
cadets of the South Georgia College
with uniforms. It was awarded to
H. Wolff & Bro. The I’ettibone
Manufacturing Company of, Cincin
nati, will furnish the material and do
the work. The Company was repre
sented here by Mr. Thomas M. Good
win. It will be a fatigue uniform,
consisting of a dark blue blouse, with
neat fit, grey pants, _ with black
stripes, and blue cap. It will he a
very pretty uniform. Fifty or sixty
suits will be furnished under tlie con
tract. A number of firms put iu bids,
making tho competition very close
and sharp. The committee no doubt
looked to the interest of the cadets—
the boys who have to pay the bills—
in awarding the contract. Measures
will be taken aud the suits promptly
furnished.
The attempted burglary of Mr. T.
C. Mitchell’s residence, on Friday
night, should put our citizens on the
alert. The presence of these light
fingeted gentry in our town is a stand
ing mcuacc. A load of buckshot, de
livered in the proper place, would
work a possible and needed reform.
Moral; Keep a loaded shot gun—and
use it.
Atteution is called to the uotice
elsewhere of Mr. A. W. Ivey, Presi
dent of the County Alliance. The
usual monthly meeting has been
changed from the third to the fifth
of October. President Ivey has made
this change at the suggestion of a
number of Alliance men, who wish to
attend the cx-confoderate reunion at
CJujtqiau on the third of next month
Remember the date of the meeting at
(he Court House is the fifth.
The following gentlemen acted as
managers of the park election on Fri
day: R. B. Mardre, C. C. Atkinson
and W. H. Bibb. The clerks were
Dock Fleetwood, Joe Mardre, and A.
H. Ainsworth. These gentlemen dis
charged their duties well and faithfully.
Mr. Joseph F. Smith, a son of Mr.
J. S. Smith, left yesterday on the fast
mail for Marianna, Fla., where he will
make his home. We commend him
most cordially to the good people ot
our neighboring little city across the
line, as being entirely worthy of their
confidence and best esteem.

The sun passed the equinox yester
day. We are gradually but surely
passing the danger line of storms. In
the mean time, however, farmers
should not relax in their efforts to get
out their cotton. It is much safer in
the gin house, and better still, when
sold and paid for.
One of those always enjoyablo fish
fries, which distinguish such gather
ings, took place at Lake Inmonia on
Friday. There was a large crowd of
ladies and gentlemen present on the
occasion. To say that it was a success,
aud a most delightful occasion, we
need only refer to the fact that it was
gotten up under the auspices of Mr.
J. M. Blackshear. Of course Jim
was there—there by several majority.
The park bonds carried. Now if a
big circus would come along, with a
great big gilded chariot, a good
brass band, an elephant and a lot of
little ponies, a lot of animals, plenty of
side shows, red lemonade, and big stick
of candy,and John Lowlowin the ring,
we would be perfectly happy.
