A Good Idea.
A number of articles appeared in
these columns some months since,
urging the importance and advisabil
ity of the establishment of a turpen
tine distillery in or near the town.
It was shown that in North Carolina
and elsewhere, many persons with
weak lungs, or suflering with bron
chial afiections, had been benefited
bv inhaling tho air in and around
those distilleries. There i9 no doubt
about the curntive and healing prop
erties of the aroma from pine forests;
then it must be good, if not better, if
reduced and condensed.
There is a gentleman here, who is
familiar with the business, who has
the capital, and who is seriously con
templating the erection of a distillery
here, connecting with it coujyniences
for invalids and others, who may
wish to test tho benefits of breathing
the air around a turpentine distillery.
We hope the gentleman will carry
out his plans.

At the residence of Mrs. F. J.

morning, at 8 o’clock, the Rev. G. G.
N. McDonell officiating, Mrs. LivyC.
Joses and Mr. John Young Price.
Only relatives and a few invited
friends were present at the ceremony.
The bride, since girlhood, has lived
here, and numbers her friends by
scores. Bplonging to an old, highly
esteemed and prominent fniuily, she
has drawn about her, by her gentle
womanly wnys, a hostof friends, who,
while tendering congratulations, re
gret to lose her from the circle which
she has gladdened and adorned in the
years agone. The groom, Mr. Price,
is a splendid specimen of a North
Georgian. He lives in Chattooga
county, where he does an extensive
and successful planting business.
The gentleman has drawn a prize, one
worthy of him, and tho home over
which she is to preside.
The newly wedded pair, after re
ceiving tho congratulation of friends,
were driven to the depot where they

Superior Court.
Yesterday was consumed in hearing
testimony in the case of Est. James
Cone vs. J. M. Clewis. The evidence
was all in last night at dark, when
court adjourned until this morning,
when argument will begin. The
first speech will be made by C'apt
Hammond, who, with Judge Alex
ander, represents Mr. Clewis. The
plaintiffs are represented by McIntyre
& McIntyre. Hon. A. T. McIntyre,
Jr., will close the argument.
At Jergcr’s.
It is scarcely necessary to call the
attention of our readers to the locals
of Mr. Jerger. Every one will read
them, for they tell the fascinating
story of holiday goods. On next
Thursday the public will have an
opportunity of inspecting these goods.
And it is an opportunity that few will
neglect.
It is not saying tco much—not
enough, perhaps—to say that Mr.
Jerger has never had such a beautiful
and elegant stock of holiday goods.
The very latest novelties, the most
exquisite articles, the nicest, prettiest
and nobbiest things to he found in
the eastern and northern markets,will
be found in Mr. Jergcr’s stock. Jergvi’s
stock of holiday goods embraces arti
cles suited for young and old, rich
and poor, in fact every one can find
there something appropriate and suita
ble for father, mother, brother, sister,
friend, sweetheart and lover.
Said Pasha to-night at the opera

Talking Thomasville in Chicago.
The National Hotel Reporter, of
Chicago, says:
The Monon Route (L., N. A. & C.
railway) have made excellent arrange
ments for this season’s southern travel.
The finest Pullman and buffet are run
on night trains, and parlor cars on
day trains. Mr. R. W. G lading, the
agent of the Monon route at Thomas
ville, Ga , writes from that city that
the prospects for heavy tourist travel
south 1 or the coming winter arc ex
cellent. At Thomasville the smaller
hotels and hoarding houses are already
filling up with guests from the north;
and tho proprietors of larger hotels
report engagements far in advance of
any previous season. The Piney Woods
hotel will open Dec. 4, and the Mitch
ell House a few days later. Tho new
Masury hotel, located withiu a stone’s
throw of the Mitchell House, is hav
ing the finishing touches put to it,
and will open early in the season.
You Are Invited.
In tho name of, and in behalf of
Mr. John T. Chastain and family, we
arc authorized to invite visitors in
and around Thomasville out to
“Jersey Farm,” during the time in
which Mr. Chastain is engaged in
grinding cane. He commenced
grinding yesterday morning, and will
continue the process during the week.
He will he glad to have visitors come
out at any and all times, and see
the southern process of extracting
syrup from the cane.
