consented to sell round trip tickets to
Monticello at one fare, thus enabling
any who may wish to go from here, to
make the round trip for $4.30. The
tickets are limited, returning, to Oct
18th. This will be a fine opportunity
to visit the ancient city.
Stewards Meeting.
The board of Stewards of the Meth
odist church will meet to-night at 7:30
o’clock at the pastor’s study.
Railroad Splinters.
Now or never.
Do not, we beg, as has been the
case in the past; allow the subscrip
tion to drag. A thing which drags,
never gets there.
Let the list be closed, and closed
promptly.
He who gives promptly, gives twice
as much. Whatever is done should
be promptly done.
Strike while the iron is hot; do not
let it cool.
Subscribe now.
President Smith will have some
thing tangible, if lie can say to the
people between here and Augusta,
and those of Augusta: “Thomasville
promptly subscribed fifty thousand
dollars.” It is better than if he had
to say: ‘‘Thomasville is going to do
so and so.”
Thcjday upon which dirt is broke
on the road, Thomasville will get her
fifty thousand dollars back and more
too—in the advauce of property here.
The town will get her money back
before it is. paid. There is not even
a shadow of doubt about this.
The difference in freights will repay
the town within two years, for her
subscription. And in this difference
it shoyjd be borne in mind, that every
farmer will share in its benefits.
Finish up the list and send the
president on with it, to back hiiu
canvassing the line. It will he
stroug lever in his hands.
Take one share if no more.
No road—no pay. Thats fair.
A fairer proposition will never be
made to the town. If the town docs
not acecpt this, and accept it prompt
ly, it ought to shut up—shut up forev
er.
The question is; not what others
will do; but whnt you will do.
Do not criticiso the amounts put
down by others, until your own sub
scription represents what you are able
to do.
Thomasville ought to have sub
scribed §50,000, under the liberal
conditions named, within twenty-four
hours.
If this subscription fails, we may
settle down to the conclusion and con
viction that the business men and
property holders ot Thomasville are
blind to their own interests. The con
clusion will be irresistible.
Do not wait for some one else to
put down;' do your duty, whether
others do or not.
President Smith ought not to be
forced to leave Thomasville without a
fifty thousand dollar subscription. It
will strengthen and hold up his hands
in his canvass along the line.
Do you want a competing line? If
so, how much do you want it ?
Let no man, who fuils to aid this
enterprise, complain in the future
about the want of competition here.
The Fox Chase.
Several hunters participated in a fox
chase early yesterday morning. The
meet was out near Elsoma, Mr. J.
Wyman Jones’ place. The fox, which
had been captured lor the occasion,
was given about twenty minutes start of
the hounds. As soon as the dogs were
loosed, away they went in pdrsuit.
The blasts of the hunters horns,
and musical baying of the hounds was
very exciting. After a short run the
fox look a tree. Mr. Clayte Dickin
son was the first lo reach him. The
dogs were called off and the fox
given another chance for his life. The
run this time was longer, but he
was finally overtaken by the hounds.
J udge Hopkins was first in at the
death, although Mr. Will Mitchell
would havo probably won the brush
but for the boggirg up of his horse

-AND-
After Fourteen Years.
A negro named Doc McPherson,
was arrested at Jesup Friday, for the
murder of William Moore, colored,
at Cairo, July 10,1875. After being
arrested he escaped from the officer,
but was pursued and recaptured by
Marshal Liggett, about a mile from
Jesup. He has been living in Hous
ton county for some time. He was
recognized and pointed out by Rev. G.
W. Johnson (colored), who lived at
Cairo. Although fourteen years have
passed since the killing, the officers
have never censed to watch out for
him. Once he was arrested at Fer-
nandinn, Fla., but escaped. From
there he was traced to DeLnud, Fla.,
but again escaped. Sheriff Hurst
was telegraphed for by the authorities
at Jesup, and went up and brought
back his prisoner.
Sheriff Hurst generally gets ’em—
and when he does get his nippers on
a law breaker, the fellow is a goner.
Let the Work be Well Done.
Thomas county has let the contract
for her new jail to a responsible and
reliable firm, the Pauly Co., of St.
Louis. The specifications nud plans
show a most completo and perfect
county prison. The county pays a
good round price—not too much,
however—mid the commissioners
should see that the structure goes up
according to contract. It is to be a
permanent and lasting building. It
hns been carefully planned and de
signed, nnd the material used and exe
cution of the work,should be in exact
accordance with the plans and specifi
cations. The company is a responsi
ble and thoroughly reliable 011c, and
there is no reason to believe that the
work will be slighted; at the same
time the commissioners would do well
to employ a competent architect to
represent the county during the erec
tion of the building. This is custo
mary. It will insure a full compliance
with the contract made with the
Pauly Co.
A Drunken Man in the Gutter.
"There’s a drunken negro lying
the gutter, right in front of the Mayor’s
office,” said a gentleman to Marshal
Spair, on Saturday, as the latter gen
tleman was walking up Broad street.
“1 will look after him,” Mr. Spair
said, and he called to policeman Coyle,
and directed him to secure an express
wagon to haul the boozy Ethiopian
around to the lock-up. The marshal,
policeman Coyle and the express
wagon were very soon on the spot.
It didn't take them long to grasp the
situation. They only saw the familiar
Highway Robbery. ,
Engineer Griffin relates the follow
ing daring robbery which occurred
near Chattahoochee, Saturday after
noon. J. F. Griffin, a young white
hoy about fifteen years old, living
in Decatur county, was walking to
Chattahoochee to take the train for
South Florida. A short distance
from the station he was overtaken by
a negro named Mathews, who repre
sented to Griffin that if he (Griffin)
would accompany him (Mathews) to
the lower landing and buy his ticket
there, he would save fifty cents.
Griffin consented and was decoyed
into the woods instead, where the
negro drew a pistol and forced him to
give up §15, all the money he had,
and also his valise. The negro then
escaped.
Recaptured.
Joe Harrison, colored, who was
caught burglarizing the residence of
Mr. Willis Moore, in Fletcherville,
on Oct. 2, and arrested at the time
by night watchman Harman, but
managed to escape while he was being
brought up town, was recaptured at
Ochlockoneo Saturday by Marshal
0. G. Fleetwood. Sheriff Hurst
went over in answer to a telegram,
aud returned with the prisoner. Har
rison waived a preliminary trial yester
day, and his bond was fixed at 8500.

CLOTHING!
and our line ot
“WIEN
BUY
My new hat for this season, it must be
in the latest style, wi h rich trimming,
qnd elegantly finished; nothing shoddy
about it. Am willing to pay well for
it, but not for ihe reputation of the
biggest stock and the finest goods, as
some claim.” Thus talks a sensible
buyer who is able to have what she
wants.
Another says: “Lillieand Julia and
Eva must all hare a new hat and baby
a new cap. My ! expenses will run up
and income small.' I must really look
about and get the best goods for low
est price, where I trade without fear
of being overcharged.”
Any one who talks orthinks like this
is my customer. They are looking tor
bargains in the millinery line and they
will naturally incline to Lower Broad.
WILL ARRIVE THIS WEEK.
A nice new lot ladies underwear, all
grades, styles and prices. This is be-
coming a popular department, because
I sell these art'clcs for less than they
can be made at home.
Millinery opens with a rush; 84 hats
the past 4 days! This is a fair record
to begin with. The goods and prices
speak for themselves. Havn't time
tor a formal opening. Am open every
day in the week, Glad to see you
any time, and so thankful for a share

sturdy figure ornamented the
top of the hitching post in that locality.
The figure had toppled over, and was,
sure cnongh, lying in the gutter.
The express wagon was dismissed,
and both officers suddenly remembered
that they had business in another por
tion of the town.
The marshal is looking tor the man
who reported the drunken negro in the
gutter.
