At the intersection of Stephens and Monroe streets a heavy limb from a ebinaberry tree has been blown down which should be removed. See Mr. John Montgomery's notice. He is offering some very valuable lots on the easiest kind of terms. Now is the lime to invest in Thomasville real estate. Messrs. A. J. and W. R. Moore have the contract to do the brick work on the new carriage and wagon repository to be built on Jackson street. The work wns commenced yesterday. It will not be long until Northern visitors will begin dropping in. Thom- asville will be amply prepared to take care of ail who come. She has a gen erous, warm hearted welcome for all, come they from the North," East or West. Now that the town owns Paradise park, the old seats which arc scattered through the park should be painted up. It will cost but a trifling sum, and will add much to the appearance of the park, as well as to the comfort of visitors, and home folks also.

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 don’t fail to get the Magnolia.
