Elsewhere, in the proceedings of the meeting held on Tuesday night in the interest of the stock breeders association, and the barbecue which is to come off on the same day,. the fifteenth of November, the committee appointed at that meeting issues a cal' for a meeting of all ex-confed- erates of Thomas county. As is knowif, a State confederate organi zation was perfected some time ago in Atlanta. Since that time numerous counties in Georgia have perfected county organizations. Next Thurs day, the third inst. Brooks county cx-coufederntcs will meet and organ ize. Thomas county ex-confederates should not be behind in this work of organization. It is well for those who wore the grey to meet, now and then, for the purpose of renewing old acquaintances and preserving the traditions of a 'struggle which will go down in history as the grandest of ancient or modern times. The South, though defeated in this strug gle, has nothing to be ashamed of. The name of her heroes and soldiers are written high on the scroll of fame. The shadow of defeat cannot, and will not, blot or blur their memory or he roism. There are hundreds of ox- confederate* in Thomas county, many having served in the same command, and yet there arc doubtless instances where these men, though living in the same county, have never met since they laid down their arms at the close of the war. It is for the purpose of having a general rc—union of those men who responded to their country s call when the tocsin of war sounded, that this meeting has been called. Coinc, bring your wives and children, renew old tics, those tics which hind closely together, men who were en gaged in a common cause. A Prosperous Colored Man. Seven years ago Beil Burdinc com menced work with Squire Mardre, on his plantation. Ben was then con siderably in debt, but by economy lie lias gradually reduced this indebted ness from year to year until this fall, when he paid out and is once more independent and happy. He was in the city on Monday, and after paying the last dollar that he owed, lie had still left 839.18 in cash, and will have at least two more bales of cotton to sell, besides plenty of corn, fodder, 1 syrup, potatoes and meat to do him for another year. Ben is both honest and industrious, and is on the right road to prosperity. He proposes to steer clear of debt in the future, and to become a wiser and .better citizen. To this end lie subscribed to the Times-Enteiii’hisk for the next twelve months. It would be well if more of the colored people would follow Ben's ex ample. A number of new pupils matricu lated in both colleges last week. These two institutions, well officered and equipped, as they are, arc receiv ing, as they should, a liberal patron age, Boys and girls will find no better place than Thomasville to he educated. Speaking of the approaching stock breeders' fair, it is designed lo encour age the breeding of home raisedstock. YVe mention the fact, in this conncc lion, that Mr, \V, M. Smith has ten horses on his place, and that every one of them arc home raised. YVe understand that the city coun cil will have Paradise Park carefully and accurately surveyed at an early day, for the purpose of determining what is due the Smith estato on same, at the rate of five hundred dollars per acre. It is generally supposed that the tract contains about twenty-six acres, including three or four acres owned by the Pincy YVoods Hotel Company. After paying far this tract, tho residue of tho bonds will he appropriated to the completion of our water works system. This is the prop er direction, which the surplus ovor and above what is necessary to pay for the park, should be given. “Experience” Recounts His Experience in Running a Two-Horse Farm. Ed. Times-Ent^rprise: Experience and observation arc the two best teachers I know of. By the first you learn some very Unpleasant things, by the other you may learn how they can ho avoided. 9 I have been running a two-horse farm for several years, and the meth ods I have pursued show it to be a difficult thing to make buckle and tongue meet. At the end of the year, when 1 have gathered my corn and fodder, picked out my cotton, had it ginned, packed, hauled to town and sold, I have a little money in my pocket, and feel sorter good. My clothes, however, are a little rusty, and I step into YY r olfl’s store and buy me a now coat and pants. I pull out mv little pocket-book, and pay for them. I feel big and Wolff feels glad, and asks me to call again. I look across the street, and see two signs up. One says Bass & McKin non, the other says Mitchell & Mc Intyre. Then I think of it; 1 owe a little bill at each of these stores; I will go over and pay them. I go, aud when they turn to their hooks, lo and behold! their accounts are twice as big as I thought they ought to lie. But I pay them, and think it is strange that my accounts were so large. I look over the bill, and sure enough, I remember buying every item charged iii it, • Then I go to Stark’s and take a glass of lemohade. That kinder re freshes me, and in the exuberance of my feelings I remember that my wife told me, when I left home, to go to Miss Laura Jones’ and buy her a new bonnet, and also to go to Levy’s or Lohustcin’s and get some homespun aud some calico to mnko tho children some clothes to go to school in. I did so; but above all things, she told me “not to forget to go to Miss Addie McClellan’s and buy some school books for the children.” I did all these things, and when through with her purchases, I begun to feel pretty blue. My crib had to be re-covcrcd, so I went to Watt’s and bought a few pounds of nails. Then I counted over ray remaining money, aud the sum total was four ten cent pieces and two nickels. But imagine, if you can, the extremity of my distress, when, as I was starting home, sad and weary with the troubles of life, and with an [empty pocket- book, I saw Pliny Heath walking up tho street at a pace which indicated he meant business. Ho seemed to be In n hurry, ns though ho was looking for me and feared I would get ofl be fore he could catch me. These things I have learned from experience. To-morrow I will tell you 80me things I have learned from observation. Experience. The sanitary condition of the town has been kept good during the sum mer. There should he no relaxation or want of diligence in still keeping the town in first-class sanitary condi tion. The health of the town is of the first importance, and money ex pended in this direction, Is money well expended. It is easier to pay the small taxes necessary to carry on this work, than it is to foot a big doc tors bill. .Stock raisers and breeders in Thomas couuty should not forget that the Stock Breeders’ Association will hold a fair in Thomasville on the 15th of November. Now is tho time lo be gin taking care of your stock. Put it in good shape and bring it to the fair, Von may get a premium. Another cake walk is oil the tapis for Monday night at the City Hall. Cake walks arc fashionable amuse ments among our colored population. Mr. Doss Collins, ot the 17th, was in town yesterday. He is on the stock breeders’ barb;cuc committee. Mr. Collins will exhibit two fine mule colts, raised at home. He has, also, several head of stock, all bred from one marc on his farm. The example of Mr. Collins should be followed by others. Bcauti.'ying A Home. Mr. William Miller, the contractor, lias made a very handsome improve ment in front or “Oakland,” his resi dence on Monroe street. He has put in a beautiful fountain. The rim of the fountain and center, is orna mented with choice specimens of rocks and ores, brought by Mr. Mil ler from Nacooohee Valley. The specimens are very handsome, and are arranged in a most tasteful man ner. The fountain adds much to the already pretty home of contractor Miller. YVe hope to see these foun tains and similar Improvements mul tiply in Thomasville. Shrubbery, grasses, fountains, flowers and trailing vines, add much to the appearance of homes, making even the humblest attractive. Some otjo has said “that ’tis homo where the heart is”; wo paraphrase, by saying: the heart should be where the home is, and that home should ho made beautiful and attractive.
