Purchasers of It.
Real estate circles Were stirred y
terday morning by the report that
Messrs. J Wyman June- and Cn.irles
D. I’arsons, two pruminc t Northern
gentlemen of large wealth who are
wintering here, had closed a trade
with Col. A. T. McIntyre for a large
body ol land lying just north of the
towD. Upon investigation the reporter
learned that the papers had been
drawn up by Messrs. Hanselland Mer
rill, that they were duly signed and
payment made on the purchase. T he
tract lies, mainly, between the Moul
trie and Albany roads, and contains, by
careful survey, eight hundred and three
and three quarter acres One hundred
and eleven acres are within the juipo-
ration.
We understand that the property
will belaid oil in avenues and drives
and otherwise handsomely improved
The property is very valuable, and
susceptible ol being greatly,beautified
It is slightly undulating, unversed by
never failing ftrtanis of pure running
water, and i? covert d with an uiiliro-
kt-u forest of | ine and other southern
growth.
Mr. Joins hits, already, invested
heavily*in real estate around Thom:
vilfe, and this In.-t investment is an ev
deuce, not only ol • hid confidence in
ti e future of TTn-niRsviile, but attests
his gootl judgment i s well. Hi- usso-

Although negotiations l*« kinglTT
consumnist on of this trail-action hav
been going on several weeks, the
knowledge of them lias been confined
to a very few. The secresy, qs wpll
as the successful outcome ol the trans
action, is due to Mr. J. W Ueid, an
amateur in tiie real estate business,
and through whom the purchase was
made.
Denies The Charge.
The man arrested hero Wednesday
fot burglary committed at Bninliridge,
gives his papte at .John White, and
says he hgils from Canitdv. Ho dis
claims all guilt of the crime for which
lie was arrested, and denies to the ex
press messenger’s fnoc. who saw him
dispose of the stolen watch at Climax,
that he did anything of the Lind.
White is a niorphsne eater, and says
that lie was under the influence of the
drug, instead of whisky when arrested
Wednesday.
Lewis W. I’alntrr, Djjroit, is at the

leing felt. There hg- never been a
better time to invest in real estate irj

The Mocking Bird.
Of all the leathered songsters ihe
southern mocking bird takes the lead.
Rev. E. 11. Stokes, I). I)., of New
Jersey, who spent some time here this
winter, pays the following beautiful
tribute to those woodland songsters
around Thomasville:
"Among the things which a slrau-
ger notices at Thomasville are the
mocking birds. They are natives to
the clinte. They lly in every direc
tion, among the shrubbery, in the
tops of the highest trees, on the weath
er-vanes of loftiest pinnacles, across
ti e streets resting on the fences, eve
rywhere their free, full, cheery songs
immediately arrest attention. We
often sit-and listen to their musical
chatter— talk, I liuve no doubt, if we
only understood it Hear that bright

We appoint the folloning committee to

We recommend that suitable chairs be

Wc recommend that the commissioners

Not hiving the time to get the witnesses

Fifty thousand dollars is a big pile
o! money, it isn't often that a trans
action in a solid block of real estate,
in a small town, amounts to these fig
ures. But Thomasville isn’t so small
a town when you come to think about
it.
We need not always look for the
read upon which the pearls are-
strung. It is enough to see tiie pearls
themselves. Like a svimon, we may
know nothing of tiie discourse as q
whole, yet y.e rpay fcmepiher short
sentences, brief references, and tako
them away as lights that will lile-s us
mauy a dark hour, or as birds that
may siug to us wlieu all human voices
arc silent.’
“Rich, full, mellow, rare, the wine
of music, the heart throb of joy, the
pinnacle of gladness, is the mocking
bird’s song.
Thomas Superior Court will meet
uext Monday week. Jurors, witnesses
and litigants will take duo notice and
govern themselves accordingly.
There are probably three hundred
Northern visitors in Thomasville yet.
They are loth to leave this lovely sun
