The fare from Monticello and return, will be $3 25, and the local road has 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 Held By the Enemy. You will miss one of the best per formances of the season, if you do not nttend the above play at the opera house to-night.

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. Winter 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 Mrs. Jennie Carroll, Lower Broad Milliner. form ot the mayor's painted iron ne gro boy, whose stolid conntenance and of your tiadeT CaffTn.' 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. TAILORING.
