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. I.08T.

Evans, City Tr. “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.
