THOMASVILLE, GA
108 BROAD STREET.
Augusta and West Florida Railroad.
Mr. C. E. Smith, president of the
Augusta and West Florida Railway
company, is in the city, for the pur
pose of soliciting subscriptions to his
road, which is projected to run from
Augusta to Thomasville. Our city
and county will be asked to subscribe
fifty thousand dollars, payable when
the whole road is completed, and
trains running over the entire line.
All subscriptions are to be null and
void, unless work is commenced bona
fide within twelve months, and the
road completed within three years.
Subscriptions in land will be accepted
at a fair market value, with the option
of paying in money, if desired, and all
subscribers will receive stock at its
par value.
These terms are so fair and liberal
that we hope our people will raise the
amount asked for at once. The com
pletion of this road will be a grand
step forward, not’only in the imme
diate enhancement of the value of all
our real estate, but not less in the
commercial advantages which compe
ting roads will give us, in reducing
freight rates, and in giving increased
facilities for travel. Thomasville had
about seventeon thousand northern
visitors last season, and it is not a
high estimate to expect that a rail
road direct to Augusta, would in
crease this number to twenty five
thousand. With such an influx of
visitors, such au enhancement in real
estate values, and such an improve
ment in our commercial affairs, a
splendid future for our city would bo
assured.
It is the intention of the projectors
to continue the road to the gulf coast.
The line will run through the best
belt of yellow pine timber in the
south, and will make the shortest
shipping route for all our products to
northern markets. In connection
with the G. S. & F., which will soon
be completed to Palatka, it will be
the shortest route from the north, to
all portions of Florida.
No enterprise could be presented
to Thomasville which promises . mere
for her future, and we hope that Mr.
Smith will receive a ready and liberal
response frorb our people
Died.
Mr. Harris I’lair, a farmer living
about six miles from town, on the
Springhill road,died Sunday. He was
about forty-six years old and has
been au invalid for a long time. The
interment took place Monday in the
Pleasant Hill cemetery. Dr. Bouchelle
ot this place officiating. The deceased
was unmarried,
Attempted Burglary.
An attempt was made to burglarize
the residence ol Mr. E, L. Biown, on
corner of Washington and Crawtord
streets, Tuesday night, at about 9:30
o’clock. The thiel, however, was
frightened away by an investigation of
the matter. Keep a sharp lookout for
these villians. Some one should make
an example of one for the good of the
community.

Thomas Superior Court.
The regular term of our court con
venes on the third Monday in this
month, but we are requested, by
Judge Hansell, to say that the crimi
nal docket will be taken up that day,
and as soon as it can be disposed of
the court will he adjourned over prob
ably to the first Monday in December,

the necessary absence of several attor
neys from the October term, and for

Fair and Barbecue.
The meeting of the several commit
tees for the fair and barbecue on Mon
day was an enthusiastic one, and each
and every member ot the committee is
determined to do his whole duly in the
premises. The amount raised shows
that there is much interest manifested
in the fair, barbecue, &c., but the
amount raised is yet inadequate, and
the committee are still at work to raise
the amount necessary. The success
of the enterprise depends solely upon
the liberality and interest manifested
by the people of this community.
There are indications that the crowd
will be-immense. Let each citizen of'
the town do his whole duty, and we
will have a big day, in every respect,
and one that will redound to the ben
efit of our city in various ways.
An Important Sale.
Mr. E. M. Mallette closed, on yes
terday, the sale of forty feet on Broad
street, adjoining Mrs. Carroll’s milli
nery store, to T. J. Bail & Bro. The
Ball Bros, will build two handsome
brick stores on this lot at an early day.
This is very valuable property, and
the Messrs Ball have made a perma
nent investment that will pay them
well.

Making Hay.
As illustrating the value ot what
our farmers, as a rule, work all the
year to kill, Dr. J. B. Watkins brings
us some samples of the finest crow
foot grass hay we ever saw, and says
that he made 6,300 pounds of it on
one acre, and had been offered 75 cts-
per hundred tor it. The only expense
attached to this hay was plowing and
smoothing the ground, and a very
small quantity of guano; in all the cost
had not exceeded §3.50 for the hay,
which was worth over $50. Why is it
that our people will send north thous
ands and thousands of dollars annually
when they could make all they want
by simply cuting the grass that grows
in their corn fields 1
A Gonarous Act.

was recently protected by the firemen

bury their dead members, and the
money will be covered into the treasu

panies very generously turned over
their portion uf it to the General Be

used for the benefit of the poor. The
following communication explains the
matter:
