Attention is called to the advertise meat headed “Mule Lost," by J. L. Finn. Mr. Finn lias not lost any mule, but lie wants those who owe him to come forward mid settle, or there will he music in the air: In printing the names of the Oclt lockonce district committee lust week, the printer inserted 11 J. for it G. milking it Mr. J. M. Bulloch, when it should have been Mr. G. M. Bul loch. “Mac’’ is the man, nod lie is a good one. It is said that over one hundred carcases will be barbecued at the con federate reunion at Quitman on the .'ltd. It would be well for some of our committeemen to go down for the purpose of getting some points. Brooks knows how to get up a barbe cue. The big barbecue, picnic, stock show and Confederate reunion, at the old fair grounds, on ihc 151I1 of No vember, is all die talk. There will be an immense ihrong here. Thomas- yille, having inaugurated the move ment, cannot afford to hold back now. The people are coming, and everything should be in readiness and plenty. Let the canvassing committee be met with liberal subscriptions. They are nec essary. They Will Toot. The band hoys are fi’k’ng of gobig into piact'.-e, for the pi’ pose of play ing for I he Stock Brcedoi s A -ocia- tion. We hope they tv'll. The band : s composed of some of the best young men in the town, and they can maRfe excellent music. “Yes,” said one of the young gentlemen who toots one of the horns, when asked if the band would re organize “We W'll proba bly get in shape to play on the loth of November. The citizens, 1 under stand, arc going to furnish the proven der, and we propose to furnish the brass anti wind. You see brass and wind are very important features of the occasion, ami the bandcati furnish both.” The Prospect Never Brighter. Mr. George I.. Cross, Northwestern passenger agent, with headquarters at Chicago, wdtes as follows 10 Mr. R. W. Gladding : “'1 he business ou'look for a good travel south never looked brighter than now. I believe we will have an early winter, and that the tourist business wiM start earlier than in former years." Mr. Cross lias sent more people - to Tliotnasville than any otlicr - one man in the west, and his views are certainly encouraging. Our people appreciate file kindness of Mr. Cross A Correction. A wroug (late crept into our notice the other day, of the meeting of the Mercer Baptist Association. It meets at Big Creek church, on Wednesday before the third Sunday in this month. All parties interested will take due notice. To Farmers. Attention is called to the circular issued by the National C'ommittco of the Farmers’ Alliance, yesterday. It instructs them to’ demand pay for Fight' additional pounds, over gross weight, for every halo of cotton cov ered with cotton bagging. The long-winded stories and yarns which have been spun in front of the drug stores during the summer, will soon terminate. The spinner will ad journ to the inside of the store where the process will be continued; from thence, the fish and other stories will be retailed in the back rooms by a crackling fire. It would be a graceful thing for some one of the big rich friends of 1’homasvillc, who frequent her borders in. the wintry season, to donate a half million dollars to build and sustain a sanitarium or hospital here for the free use of those afflicted with lung troub les, who are too poor to pay the heavy expenses ot living away from home. \Vc regret to learn that Mr. J. C. Yatibrunt, an-old and highly esteemed citizen of our county, died at his home five miles from Thomasville, on Sunday afternoon, of paralysis. He was buried on Monday in the Bowen grave yard, just below ihc Jones biidge. Mr. Yanbrunt leaves a wile and live chil dren to mourn lus death. He had been a member of the Baptist church for many years. We call attention, especially of our readers on the south side of the rail road, to tlr - article by “Experience’' 011 the subject of the nb-fenee law. This question is one which should re ceive the earnest attention of the tanners in that section, and they should study it carefully to the end that they may vote intelligently at the election on the first Saturday in December. • The proceedings of council will be found elsewhere. It will be seen that the petition for electric lights on Broad and Jackson streets, was received and referred to a special committee, con sisting of Alderman Wright and Mitch ell and Mayor Hopkins. This is a strong, conservative and progressive committee. They will no doubt give the subject careful attention, and arrive at a correct conclusion. Attention is called to the advertise ment of Mr. Sam Cassels, who is offering some fine brands of tobacco at his drug store. To Wesleyan Female College. A party of four young ladies left yesterday mornimg for Macon, to en ter Wesleyan Female College. They were Misses Ida Bryant, of Tallahas see; Nettie Bird, of Monticeilo; Mo selle Hayes, of Eufaula,Ala., andDena Mitchell, of this place. A number of friends of the young ladies were at the depol to see them off. Mr. T. C, Mitchell accompanied them to Macon. Misses Mary Wright, Sallic ?tark and Marion Hayes, returned last night from Murphey, N. C , and other places where they have been spending the summer. The party are cordially welcomcd to home, ‘stweet home ’’ again. A rarely is promised at the Confeder ate reunion in Thomasville on the 15th of November- a genuine private will be * 1 1 attendance. It is a noticeable fact that in most of the reunions since ilia war, the participants have been generals, colonels and majors, while a few have ranked as low as captains. It is generally supposed that the . pri- va es weie all killed, as they cannot be lound now. Jf you want to see .a genuine ntivale, one who struck the gut for four years, carried a musket, blanket, three days rations and forty rounds of cartridges, come to Thom* asviHe on the fifteenth. There will be no admission to see this, perhaps only living specimen of a genuine piivate. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS. I'm si 11. Rohm, Sept. .'Id, IK.S'.l.

The others have that size, but it is large enough, and still better, all personally selected, choice goods from the cream of New York and Baltimore markets. They arc the latest styles, bought low down,and will be sold the same. This means that I want to do a good share of the milliucry trade this season. It is said to be impossible to please everybody : maybe so; but there’s nothing like trying, and if J gel the chance the cliort will not be wanting.
