It now only needs the approval ot the governor and an endorsement of the freeholders interested to make it oper ative. 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. ——— Two of the Excursionists Fined. In the county court Tuesday John Johnson plead guilty to assault and battery and was fined $20. Johnson, who lives in Homeryille.was among the excursionistswho were hereMonday.He engaged in a fight just before the train left and was arrested.

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, This course is taken on account of the necessary absence of several attor neys from the October term, and for for the purpose of securing trial of the civil business in the court. 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.

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. Mr. Wm. Miller, whose property was recently protected by the firemen from destruction, very generously sent a cheque for $25 to Mayor Hopkins for distribution among otir firemen. The money was equally divided between the white companies and the Vigilants, the colored company. The Vigilants bury their dead members, and the money will be covered into the treasu ry lor this purpose; and the white com panies very generously turned over their portion uf it to the General Be nevolent Association, where it will be used for the benefit of the poor. The following communication explains the matter: To H. Wife, Foreman Neptune; L. H. Jerger, Foreman Mitchell; A. F. Pre vatt, Foreman Rescue; J, Sambleton, Foreman Vigilant Fire Companies, Thomasville— The enclosed cheque was'presented to me by Mr. Miller, with the request that it be given to "the firemen who rendered such good service in saving his property” at a recent fire. I turn the same over to you with the request that you appropriate it in such manner as you think best to carry out the in- tentions of the donor. Very respecttully, H. W. Hopkins, Mayor.
