COLUMN.
As soon as he gets
over the rush of
customers he will
fill it with his usu
al announcement.
IN THE CITY.
St. Thomas Church.
The congregation of St. Thomas
Episcopal church hope to have the
new church building ready in time
to hold Christmas services in it. The
stained glass windows of this church
will be very handsome.
Lost and Found.
The party that lost a ladys’ reticule
or purse during the post week, will
hear of something of advantage by
applying to Policeman \V. I’. Coyle.
Shoot To-Morrow.
The Thomasville Gun Club will
give a shoot to its friends to-morrow,
at its new grounds between the Mag
nolia and Linton Mill roads.
Negro Immigrants.
' Five extra coaches of the Atlantic
Coast Line came in Saturday night
attached to the Savannah train. The
coaches contained, includingabildren,
about five hundred negro emigrants
moving from South Carolina to the
“Lone Star” state.
Police Court.
William Lcggins, Joe Dixon, Ed
ward Johnson and Simon Leggins,
were before his honor yesterday in
the police court for firing crackers in
the city limits. The first two plead
guiltv and were let off with the cost,
$1.
Willie Davis was fined $fi and costs
for failing to obey street summons.
Returns to Thomasville.
Mr. A. L. Loeb, of Chicago, who
came here early in the fall, but who,
for the past several weeks, has been
making a tour of Florida, has return
ed here for the balance of the season.
It is a compliment to Thomasville for
him, after making a tour of the popu
lar resorts in Florida, to choose this
place iu preference to other places
during his sojourn south.
Cows on the Streets.
The city ordiuance, prohibiting
cows running at large on the streets,
went into effect Sunday. The terri
tory embraced by the forbidden dis
tricts is large, aid owners v ill do
well to see that their favorites are
kept away from it. Marshal Spair
says the law will be enforced without
fear, favor or affection. Cows caught
iu the forbidden districts will be im
pounded and sold if not paid out.
The Macon Construction Company.
This company, which built the
Georgia Southern & Florida railroad,
has made financial arrangements to
continue the line from Macon to
Birmingham, Ala. This will open lip
a new and direct line from Birmiug
ham and points West to Florida. As
it is likely that Thomasville will soon
have a connection with the Georgia
Southern & Florida, we have an
especial interest in the new connec
tion.
Special attention is called to the
local of Miss Laura Jones She has
a beautiful lot of holiday goods. You
will find something there suitable for
all ages and conditions. Unusual
taste lias been shown in the selection
of the stock. Everything is pretty
and appropriate, and prices will he
found as cheap as the cheapest. Call
on Miss Laura before your purchases
are all made.
Mr. L. Simmons, lower Broad
street, has a splendid stock of canes,
finished in oxydized silver handles
and natural wood. Some of them
arc quaintly carved. If you would
carry or' send away a souvenir of
Thomasville, you canuot make a bet
ter choice than one of these canes.
Mr. S. J. Cassels has something
new, novel and beautiful iu the way
if Christmas and New Year cards.
They must be seen to be appreciated.
The pewa in the new Presbyterian
church will he in place by next Sab
bath, and the congregation will use the
auditorium of the handsome building.
It Was a Scoop.
“The news of the sale of the Narrow
Gauge railroad was read with interest
yesterday morning.
“Outside of those connected with
the deal and the transfer of bonds
and securities the sale was unknown.
“Mr. Jackson said yesterday: “Of
course, I know who the purchasers
arc, for I woiked up the deal and
found the purchasers myself, hut no
body’ else knows who they are, and 1
am absolutely bound to sccrcsy in the
matter.”
“As suggested in yestcrday’s.Chron-
icle, it is probable that nothing will
be done before the auniial incctimr of
the company, which is less than sixty
days off.
“The buyears will devote the enter-
veniug time to making investigations
into the character and condition of
their new property, and in laying
their plans for improvements and ex
tensions.
“The charter of the company ex
tends already to Thomasville, and
there are a number of desirable con
nections and extensions which arc
easily within the range of possibility.
Keep your eve on the narrow gauge.”
I jThc above, from the Augusta
Chrouicle, will be read with interest
by our readers. It is another sign
board pointing to Thomasville. Our
people should he alert and alive to
the importance of securing—before
the railroad map of South Georgia
i- made up—such connections ns will
nrotect their interests. Deals and
developments arc being made which
will make and unmake towns. Thotn-
nsvillc must look after her own inter
ests. If she doost not the mistake
can never be remedied. Abie is the
time for action.
A Sweet Little Letter.
Some days since, Reid * Culpepper
gave notice that their store had been
made headquarters for Santa Claus.
They have received a sweet letter,
written bv a little girl six years old,
addressed to the patron saint of the
children, in their care. TIicTimeh-
Entkki’imse ventures to cherish the
hope that, the letter may induce Santa
Claus to grant what has been asked
him, anil for fear the venerable old
fellow may not otherwise know what
is expected, the letter is here given.
Tiiomasvii.i.e, Dec. 25, 188!).
Dear Santa Claus:—As it is almost
Christmas I have decided that I

tioneries. This is nil I want. Now
My Dear old Santa Claus wont you
be sure to bring them tome? I will
bn a good girl, if you will, I live on

Your little girl,

Tariff Reform to the Front.
Every day demonstrates the wis
dom and courage of Grover Cleveland
in launching his famous message
against monopolists and trusts, and in
favor of tariff reform. The people
are waking tip to the fact that they
are being robbed by the monopolists
Touching thu changes going on.
the Telegraph says:
Among the many recent converts
to the democratic idea of taxation are
some men who tormcrly held high
position in the republican party.
There is President Eliot, of Harvard,
Hugh McCulloch, Secretary of the
Treasury under two republican
Presidents, and Wayne MaeYeagh,
Attorney General under President
Garfield.
Last Saturday night Mr. MaeYeagh
delivered in Boston, before the reform
club, a powerful address in favor of
the reform of the tariff on the lines
advocated by Mr. Cleveland, Mr.
Carlisle and all the recognized leaders
of the democratic party. The Phila
delphia Record says of his effort :
“While Mr. MncVengh’s opinions
on the present tariff system have not
been concealed, this is, we believe,
the first time that he has publicly pro
claimed them. So we go. The time
is rapidly approaching when the only
remaining defenders of tariff robbery
will he its monopolistic beneficiaries
and its subsidized advocates.”
Cleveland.
Grover Cleveland docs not drop out
ol sight. At a banquet in Boston, on
Thursday night, Mr. Cleveland deliv
ered a notable speech. He spoke, as
he always does, to the point, and with
great force and Lcrsencss. Mr. Cleve
land has the happy taculty of saying
the right thing at the right time. No
public man catches and holds the at
tention of the masses more firmly.
The people hang on his words, for the
reason that they always mean some
thing. His appeal for a pure ballot,
and an adherance to the principles of
tariff reform, were clear and ringing
as a bugle call. And the people heard.
Grover Cleveland will be heard from
in 1892,
“See here, John,” said Mrs. Smith,
laying aside her paper, ‘ this ball
playing is barbarous. I never heard
of anything so cruel.”
“What’s wrong, Mainly?”
“Why, the paper says that nine
men were whitewashed seven times in
less than two hours. I'd think the
lime in the whitewash would cat all
the skin off them. I’d rather be tarr
ed and feathered, and dear knows that
is bad enough.”
“I don’t believe you have been to
Sunday school. You’ve been iu
swimming. Your hair is wet ami
your trousers are himlpart foremost.”
“Well, you see, mar, I was ruuuin’
so hard to Sunday school that my
head got all wet wid perspiration and
then 1 fell down, and I was going so
fast I turned over in my trousers.”

Cured by Cuticura
Our eldest child, now six years of age, when
an infant six months old was attacked with a
virulent, malignant skin disease. All ordinary
remedies lailing.wc called our family physician
who attempted to cure it; hut it spread with al
most Incredible rapidity, until the lower por
tion of the little fellow's person, from th« mid-
file of his hack down to his knees, was on* solid
rash, ugly, painful, blotched and malicious. \\e
had uo rest at night, no peace by day. Finally,
we were advised to try tho Cuticura Remedies.
The eirect was simply marvellous. In three or
four weeks a oomploto cure was wrought, leav
ing tho little fellow’s person as white and healthy
as though he bail never been attacked. In my
oniniou vuur valuable remedies saved his life,
and to-day he is a strong, healthy child,perfect-
lv well, no repetition of the disease having ever
occurred. GEO. 11. SMITH,

Boy Covored "With Scabs.
My hoy, aged nine years, has been troubled all
his life by a very had humor, which appeared all
over his body in small, red blotches, with n dry
white scab on them. Last year lie was worse
than ever, being covered with scabs from the
top of his beau to his feet, and continually
growing worse, although lie hail been treated by
two phosieians. As a last resort, I determined
to try the Cuticura Remedies, and am happy to
say they did all t hat L could wish. 1 ’sing them
according to direction, the humor rapidly dis-
anpearod, leaving the skin fair and smooth, and
neiforming a thorough cure. The Cuticura
Remedies arc all you claim fur them. They arc
worth their weight in gold.

CASH GROCERIES,
While not in the ring yet, are in town
by a large majority, and can point to
friends and acquaintances in nearly
every household in Thomasville. Arc

it’s acquaintance at once, for it will
save you money. It’s competitors
will, sometimes,—when you standby
and make them do so—meet it’s prices,
Lut just as soon ns you quit watching
them they will charge you tho same
old-time prices. Send and get it’s
prices and compare them with your
hook, and don’t fail to find out how
much more it’s competitors charge for
Raisins, Currants, Citron, etc, for
making your fruit cake than it does.

Worth Knowing.
Mr. W. II. Morgan, merchant, Lake City,
Fla., was taken with a severe cold, attended
with a distressing cough and running into

many so-called popular cough remedies and
steadily grew worse. Was •educed in flesh,
had diilieulty in breathing and was unable
to sleep. Finally tried Dr. King’s New Dis
covery for Consumption and found inime-
din’e relief, and after using about half a
dozen bottles found himself well and has
had no return of the disease. No other
remedy can show so grand a record of cures,
as Dr. King's New Discovery for consump
tion. Guaranteed to do just what is claim
ed for it. Trial bottle free at S, J. Cassels’
