It | 3 Said to Be Postmaster Jos. P. Smith.
A dispatch was received late yester
day afternoon, by a gentleman in
Thomasville, who is on the inside,
saying that Postmaster General Wan-
amaker had recommended the Presi
dent to appoint Joseph P. Smith post
master here, vice Capt. Sapp resigned,
and that the appointment would be
made to-day. This, then, settles the
controversy over the Thomasville
post office. We understand that Mr.
Smith lias made an exceptionally
strong bond. He is a Thomas county
man, born and raised hero, and his
appointment will give very general
satisfaction. The new appointee is
well fitted and qualified to discharge
the duties of the office, and we feel
sure lie will leave nothing undone to
administer it in a manner satisfactory
to the public.
We have said nothing about the
contest over the office. Two or three
good men were applicants. It was
not a “cat of our catching.’ We are
on the outside—got left last November
—badly left. But now that the se
lection lias been made, the new in
cumbent is entitled to fair treatment,
and, in so far as we can, he shall have,
in all things pertaining to the proper
discharge of the duties of the office,
the cordial support of the Times-En-
terprise, reserving, always, the right
to criticise, in a legitimate manner, the
management of the office under the
new regime.
Another Branch of a Building and Loan
Association.
Mr. Jas. F. Shepherd, of Atlanta,
special agent for the Southern Mutual
Building and Loan Association of At
lanta, called a meeting on the 23rd,
which was held at the Bank of-Thom-
asville, lit which the following officers
of the local board were elected, pre
paratory to making loans:
President. W. E. Davies; . ,
Attorney and Secretary, Redden
Smith, Jr.;
Treasurer, B. II. Wright;
Directors—A. P. Wright, Jas Watt,
E. L. Brown.
The association has $1,000,000 stock
taken with an authorized capital ol
$5,000,000, and is prepared to lend
within a short time after application
has been made.
Real Estate Moves-
Mr. Charley Williams sold his hand
some residence and lot on Love street
yesterday, to Mr. Walter Williams. .Mr.
Williams has bought four acres on the
extension of Wyche street, just this
side of the residence of Col. Wra. Me
Lendon, and will build a handsome
residence on the same.
Property in the neighborhood and
beyond the park is in demand. Lots
are “gilt-edge” in that vicinity.
The town grows.
We hope Thomas County ox-con-
federates will attend, as many of them
a? can, the reunion of those who wore
the gray, in Quitman, the third of
next month. Quitman and Brooks
Counties will have their latch-string
hanging on the outside, and that
means much in Brooks County, for
they are among the most hospitable
and well to do people in the state.
One of the healthiest signs of the
times is the active and increasing de
mand for real estate in and around
Thomasville. There has never been
a better time than at present to make
investments here. Gradually and slowly
the town has grown; and it will still
grow.
Mrs. C. A. Parsons, who has been
living in Savannah for some time, has
returned to Thomasvillc. She has
rented 0:1c of the Pittman cottages,
on Jackson street, and will resume
her dress-making business. They all
come back to Thomasville.
“You arc a liar,” said one boy to
another, the other day on the corner of
Madison and Jackson streets,where they
were playing marbles for keeps. The
incident carried us, in imagination, to
the legislative halls of Georgia.
That boy is training for the legisla
ture. Me has learned his first lesson
well.
Lights on Broad and Jackson Streots.
The best light is the cheapest light.
The absence of the arc lights from
Broad street for the past two nights
demonstrate the difference between
the an light and gas lamps. It was
very striking. The authorities would
do well, however, to consider the cost
of any proposed change. It is not a
difficult mathematical problem. How
much will, say, seven arc lights cost,
and how much is now being paid for
the gas lamps which these arc lights
would replace?
The gentlemen who have put their
money inter these two enterprises, gas
and electric lighting, are entitled to
fair, liberal treatment at the hands
of both the corporation and the citi
zens. Further than the fifty lights
contracted for from the gas company,
for 25 years, the corporation, as a
body, is under no special obligations
to either company, and it will, no
doubt, in making contracts for light
ing the town, deal fairly by each. It
would be bad policy to withhold a
fair share of patronngo from either
company. The town, and the people,
want competition. There is room
here for both companies to do a fair
business.
We voice the sentiment of many
when renewing our suggestion that
tho arc lights he substituted for gas
on portions of Broad and Jackson
streets. Tho town will soon be filling
up with visitors. Let 11s show these
people that Thomasville is abreast of
the foremost iuf-ftittcr of light. The
arc light will do this.
We do not know the rates of the
electric light company, but it is likely
that the town, while getting a better
light, would got it as cheap, if not
cheaper. At least the demand for
the now light is sufficient to suggest to
the council the propriety of at least
•ascertaining what a given number of
arc lights, such as have been burning
on Broad street, could be run for per
annum. Upon this data intelligent
action could bo taken.
Mr. Dodson put in the first gas
which has ever been used iu Fletclicr-
ville, yesterday. It was introduced
into the new and handsome residence
of Mr. Wolff. Mr. Dodson is leaving
nothing undone to please and satisfy
the patrons of his company. This ex
tension of the gas service shows that
gas will hold its own. As wc have
said, elsewhere, there is room for both
these lighting companies in Thomas-
villc. Some prefer one light and
some the other.
Mr. M. R. Elder, who has been
summering in Kentucky, has returned
home. He reports having met quite
a number of Kentuckiaus, and others,
who will come to Thomasville this
season to spend the winter.
Mr. Jno. A. Scott, of the Pauly Jail
Co., St. Louis, who has been in the
city for-some time, looking after the
company’s interests here, leaves to-day
for Marianna, Fla., where his company
is creeling a jail. He will return here
shortly.
Miss Laura Jones moved into her
renovated store yesterday. She is
ready now, with a new stock,jof goods,
to wait on her customers. Her dam
aged stock has been disposed of, and
her present stock is entirely new ami
of the most fashionable kind.
Every one noticed the marked con
trast on the corners of Broad and
Fletcher and Broad and Jackson
streets, Monday night, as compared
with the apparance of these corners
when lit with arc electric lights. It
was a strong argument in favor of
substituting arc lights for the ga*
lamps.
As a mark of respect to the late
Clarence A. Lloyd, Levy’s dry goods
house, with which Mr. Lloyd was
associated for a number of years, was
closed yesterday during tho funeral.
The proprietors, clerk, and employes
attended the funeral in a body, thus
testifying to the high esteem in which
Mr. Lloyd was held by those with
whom he was most intimately associ
ated.
At Rest.
After lifes’ fitful fever, Clarence
Lloyd sleeps well, sleeps beside his
little one, who preceded him to the
spirit world, in Laurel Hill cemetery.
He has “crossed over the river,
and rests under the shade of the
trees.”
Yesterday morning the remains
were escorted from his late residence
by the Guards, in full uniform, to the
Presbyterian church, where appropri
ate services were conducted by the
pastor, Rev. J, H. Hcrbcner. From
the church to the cemetery followed a
long line - of carriages, filled with
mourning friends.
The pall hearers were Messrs. C.
M. Smith, Will Taylor and Maurice
Grausmau, of tho Guards, and Messrs.
I. Levy, R. Thomas, Jr., and L. H.
Jerger.
A silver plate, with the inscription :
CLARENCE ALVIN LLOYD,
BOIIN
SEPTEMBER SOtII, 185!),
DIED
SEPTEMBER 23ltD, 188!),
Was on the casket. Some beautiful
floral designs, made of those raro
southern flowers, which the deceased
loved and admired so much, rested on
tho burial case, placed there by loving
hands.
After the last sad rites were per
formed at the grave, the mourners
sadly turned away, leaving the dead
alone.
May God, in his infinite goodness
and mercy, tenderly and lovingly
bind up tho broken and bleeding
hearts of those who mourn their dead.
The dead shall live again.
Levy’s dry goods house will he
closed to-morrow. Their customers
will take due notice and govern them
selves accordingly.
The wind and rain, Monday, did no
serious damage to the cotton crop, al
though considerable of it is open. The
indications arc at this writing, that fair
weather will prevail for the next few
days.
The chain gang was engaged yester
day in cleaning off and preparing the
three acre lot, recently purchased by
the County from the Piney Woods
Hotel Company, for a jail lot. We
understand that the contractors will
proceed at once with the erection of
the building. It is certainly needed.
While speaking of the jail, and its
removal .from its pitsent site, we beg
to call the attention ot the Council to
the unsightly hall of the Vigilant Fire
Company, located immediately oppo
site the old jail, in the middle of Jef
ferson street. We don't mean that the
hall is particularly unsightly, but
it is in the wrong place. We have no
street in Thomasville wide enough for
a building of that size to be placed in
the middle ot it. Tho hall should be
moved to a more centrally located
place, if practicable, and not built in
the middle of a street.
During the past few days we have
conversed with a number of gentlemen
living on the south side of the rail
road and almost without exception
they arc in favor of the no fence law.
If these people study and understand
the question, there is no doubt of the no
fence law carrying, at the ensuing
election in December, by a handsome
majority.
NOTICE.
Levy's ilry goods house will he closed on
Thursday next, .September 26th, on account
of holiday. I-t.
In buying hams this hot weather
