The news carried sorrow to every household in the town. The rich and poor will mingle their tears together. The humblest and poorest will, perhaps, next to those allied to her by the closest and dearest ties known, feel her loss most. She was a ministering angel among these unfor tunates for years, quietly and gently going about doing good, relieving the distressed and comforting those whom the world too often passes by. Sad faces were everywhere seen as the news rapidly spread. And it was gen uine heartfelt sorrow. The remains will reach here at S ; 3° *his afternoon, and will be conveyed to the residence ot Judge Hansell. Notice ot the hour and the place from which the funeral will take place, will be sent around in the morning. One of the purest, noblest and the best of women is no more.

ARE SOLE AGENTS FOR- are daily receiving Another Burglar. The residence of Miss Mollic Rush, who resides in Fletcherville, was entered by a burglar yesterday morn ing about 1 o’clock. The first knowl edge she had of his presence in the house was being aroused by hearing him searching her bedroom for valua bles. She called for her brother, who w : as rooming upstairs, and Squire Bibb, who lives next door. These gentlemen responded and chased the follow, (who jumped out of a window as soon os the alarm was given,) all around the house, but lie mauaged to escape. He had not had time to se cure anything. The lady recognized the burglar as a negro. Bound Over. KUen King, who is charged with the crime of arson, had her commit' ment trial before Squire Mardre, yes terday. Enough evidence was found to hold her to await the action of the Grand Jury. Capt. Hammond rep resented the, prosecution and Judge Alexander appeared for the defendant They are Coming. Mr. C. W. Lapham, writing to Mr R. W. Gladding, says: “Regarding our intended trip South this year I think the family will go as early as Nov. 25th, and perhaps before, and there will be more in the party thipi last year. I hope the Monon Route will be able to run through cars from Chicago to Thomasville without change. Anything I can do in the way of advertising I will tnke pleas ure in doing.” Mr. Lapham expects to come down himself later in the season. No Sorvlccs at St. Thomas Church To- Day. On account ol the absence of the Rector, Rev. Mr. LaRochc, there will be no services in St. Thomas’ Church to-day. To-Morrow Night. All Thomasville will be out at the opening of the season at the opera house to-morrow night. The minstrels played in Jacksonville on Friday night. We have only space to take this brief extract from the Times Union : “The expression, 'a crowded house,’ is very elastic. It doesn’t always mean exactly what the words would imply. But the expression fails utterly to de scribe the audience which greeted the Haverly minstrels at the Park opera house last night. There was not a vacant seat in pit, parquet, circle, box, or balcony, and standing room was at a premium long before the curtain went up. The audience waif a repre sentative one for . Jacksonville, and it enjoyed the entertainment thoroughly It was more liberal in its applause than usual, and if it wasn’t in good humor at the start, it fairly overflowed with it when the curtain went down for the last time.” A Projeotod Railroad. While Thomasville is cogitating over the situation—seeing her busi ness drift away for want of compel! tive rntes here, Albany, not satisfied with three roads, and a navigablo stream besides, led on by that tireless worker, Col. NelsOu Tift, is reaching out for another road. The last issue of the Cordelcan, says: “The road from Albany to Hmvkinsvillc, which tyill run through t’ordclc will add a great ileal to the trade and development of Cordete. Col. Nelson Tift has got as much dogged perseverance as any man in Georgia, and will certainly make it success of this road. Our people will do all in their power to secure its curly completion. Haw kinsvillc and Albany both wish connection with Cordele, because at this point compe tition is always secured, as two independent lines make cheap freight rates.' 1 Col. Tift was shrewd enough, when the road was built from here to Alba uy, to get his town made the eonipc titivc point, leaving Thomasville a way station—and which she has been ever since. This section will soon be covered with all the railroads which it can support, and then, as a matter of course, capitalists and others will stop putting money in new roads; and it looks very much ns if tho demands of this section will be satisfied, and its capacity to sustain additional roads reached, without Thomasville ever being touched by competing steel rails. Fall Cotton Shipped 300 Miles, at 55 Cents per Bale. They arc shipping cotton from Col umbus to Savannah, three hundred miles, at 55 cents per bale. Cannot Thomasville see in this what competi tion would do for .her ? And yet the merchants, business men, property holders, and all others who are sup posed to be interested iu building up the trade of the place, hesitate, hold back, and act as if there was nothing to lie gained by a competing line of road. When will Thomasville wake up, on this subject? The awakening will be too late, when warehouses and stores are dosed, and the trade of the town diverted to other places. Wo have tried, faithfully, earnestly and persistenly tried, for years, to show the business men of Thoinasvillo the danger which menaces them. Aud this danger is more apparent every year. To say that we have not enough capital here, to do something in the way of securing competition in rates, is saying what every one knows is not true; and to say that there is no man, or number of men, who arc, by their ability and business qualifications equal to the task of grappling with the situation, is a re flection on dozens of men in Thomas- villc. Then why, may w<? not well ask, has not something been done here before? And this question is pointed and direetod, not at one man— nor two or three men, but to the leading capitalists, business men nnd property holders of the town. If over a town needed some hold, but sagacious mnn, to come to the front, to disenthral the place from the leth argy and fatal inaction which has—up to this hour—characterized it, that town is Thomasville.
