108 liROAT) STREET,
The Meeting Last Night.
A representative body of citizens
met at the court house last night for
the purpose of increasing the subscrip
tion already made to the Augusta and
West Florida railroad.
On motion Mr. W. R. McIntyre was
called to the chair, and Mr. B. F.
Hawkins, by request, acted as secre
tary. Mr. John S. Montgomery, of
the canvassing committee, reported
that $39,400 had been raised.
President Smith, of the proposed
road, stated that, perhaps, $1,500
could be raised in the Big Creek
vicinity. Mayor Hopkins took the
floor and made a telling speech, re
plete with arguments and facts.
Judge Alexander, Mr. S. L. Hayes,
T. C. Mitchell, John L. Finn, Robert
G. Mitchell and others, made brief
and pointed arguments.
On motion the committee canvass
ed the meeting. At ihe close of the
canvass they reported $3,000 addi
tional subscription, most ot the amount
being by gentlemen raising their sub
scriptions. This leaves $6,000 to be
raised.
On motion the committee was con
tinued until Saturday night, when the
canvass will close, as President Smith
is compelled to leave on Monday.
There are only two more- days in
which to work. Thomasville must and
will raise the remainder of the amount
necessary to secure the road. Let
others, who were not present last
night. follow the example of many
there,"by raising their subscriptions.
A long pull, a stroug pull, and a pull
all together, and success will be as
sured.
A list of the subscribers, with the
number of shares taken by each, will
appear in. the morning. There are
names which ought to be on that list
which are not there. Put your name
down to-day. The list will be a roll
of honor.
Orange Blossoms.
Yesterday morning at II o’clock,
Rev. G. G. N. McDonnell officiating,
at the residence of the bride’s father,
Mr. Thomas (J. Mitchell, on Reming
ton Avenue, Mr. James W. Reid
and Miss Belle R. Mitchell were
married.
Only relatives and a few personal
friends were present to witness the
ceremony. After an elaborate, lun
cheon the bridal couple, accompanied
by friends, were driven to the depot.
Mr. Reid and his bride took the
12:55 train and will go direct to New
York. Both the parties are well
known nnd very popular in Thomas-
villc. A shower of good wishes fol
low the newly married pair on their
wedding tour.
The bridal presents were numerous
and very handsome. Every one in
Thomasvil]e will join us, most hear
tily, in wishing for the couple as
much of real happiness and prosperi
ty as can be crowded into a long life.
A Cold Day.
This inimitable side-splitting come
dy abounds in the funniest and
most ludicrous of scenes nnd charact
ers. This is the first comedy of the
season, and it will draw a full house.
A good comedy always takes. The
Pittsburg Times, in speaking of the
play, says:
‘■A Cold Day, or the Laplanders,” at the
Academy of Music, delighted a large audi
ence last evening. It is rcpielc with funny
situations, capital hits, pleasing music nnd
good songs, and produces roars of laughter.
The Post, of the same city, says :
•‘A Cold Day” was played to a packed
house at the Academy last evening. The
company is excellent. A numberof the lat
est songs are introduced, nnd every situa
tion is side-splitting.
Mr. Will Braswell and his bride
were at the Stuart last night. They
arc cu route to their future home in
Tallahassee.
Tho Misses Murray, ot Chicago,
accompanied by Capt. John Murray,
arrived last evening, and are at the
Stuart, where tho ladies stayed last
season. Their friends are pleased to
see them in Thomasville again..
Miss Dcna Mitchell, of Wesleyan
Female College, came down home to
be present at the marriage of her sis
ter. Her friends arc glad to see her
home again, even for a few days.
It is seldom that the death of one
person causes such a general feeling
of sadness and regret, as that of Mrs.
C. P. Hansell, which occurred Oct.
5th, 1889. Loved by those who
knew her worth, admired and respect
ed by all, it is but natural thp.t a
feeling of personal bereavement should
be felt, and words of regret and sym
pathy should fall from the lips of
hundreds, we might say thousands,
when'thc sad message came, “Mrs.
Hansell is dead.”
Truly, “a good name is rather to
be chosen than great riches, and
loving favor rather than silver and
gold.” “Her works praise in the
gates, and her price was far above
rubies.”
Others have written of her devotion
to her church, to works of benevo
lence, and of her patriotism. We, of
the W. C. T. U., would bear witness
to rn act of devotion to her country,
which showed she had the courage of
her convictions of duty. She was
among the first to join the White
Ribbon army, who contended with
the most formidable foe that ever
invaded any country. With her,
the question was : Is it right ? When
answered to her conscience in the
affirmative, she hesitated not to put
herself iu hearty support and sympa
thy. We mourn her loss. We
honor her memory. Her name to us
is the synonym of all that is true and
good and brave in woman.
W. C. T. U. of Thomasville.
The costly winter residence in East
End, belonging to Mr. Horace
Thompson, of St. Paul, Minn., is be
ing handsomely improved. The Snod
grass mill are working up eighteen
handsome curly pine columns, to lie
used in the improvements.
Mr. Charley Williams is building a
handsome residence on the lot recent
ly purchased by him, adjoining Mr.
McLendon’s, on Wychc street. It
will be a desirable home.
Mr. E. P. Dismukes, of Quincy,
Fla., one of the foremost and most
progressive men in middie Fla., is
stopping in the city. Mr. Dismukes
will bring some fine stock to the stock
show here on the 15th of November.
The many friends of Mr. and Mrs.
C. I. LaRoche, will sympathize with
them in the loss of their little infant,
Margaret Hansell. It died in
Charleston, on Monday. The child
was only a few months old, but had
woven the tendrils ol love about its
devoted parents.
Mr. W. Currier and wife, of St.
Louis, are stopping at the Stuurt.
They will remain here some time. Mr.
Currier was a guest of the old Mitch
ell for one season and is attracted here
again by the mildness and healthful-
ness of oiir splendid climate.
Marshal Spatr has been doing some
good work in the colored cemetery
with the chain gang, for several days.
He finished up there last evening,and
this morning goes into Fairview,where
he will clean up the streets.
The S. F. & W. Ry., combined
freight and passenger depot, at Mon
ticello, was burned Wednesday night,
at 9:30 o’clock. The contents of tho
building was entirely consumed,
together with eighteen bales of cotton.
The agent lost all his books. The
origin of the fire is unknown, but it
is thought to have been incendiary.

“wheh|I| buy
My new hat for this season, it must be
in the latest style, wi:h rich trimming,
and elegantly finished; nothing shoddy
about it. Am willing to pay well for
it, but not for the 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: "Lillie and 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 or thinks like this
is my customer. They arc looking for
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 articles for less than they
can be made at home.
Millinery opefls 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
for a formal opening. Am open every
day in ihe week. Glad to see you
any time, and so thankful for a share
of your trade. Call in.
