A PAPER WANTED.
Any of our old subscribes Iiaving
n copv of the Thomasville Times,
dated October 22nd, 1887, will confer
n great favor by mailing it to this of
fice. We will cive one year’s subscrip
tion, or other fair compensation, for
that issue.
The Boodle Party.
AVasbiagton, April 27—One of the
principal subjects to be considered by
the executive committee of the re
publican national committee when it
meets here next week, is the ever im
portant one of raising funds, with spe
cial reference to the campaign of next
j all. Senator Quay, First Assistant
Postmaster General Clarkson and Col.
William Dudley, being now the gen
eral managers of the republican party
take charge of all national campaigns,
and so will direct the fight for sena
tors and congressmen nett fall just as
idosely as they will direct the presi
dential campaign of 1892.
Chairman Quay’s ingenious scheme
for making every republican a stock
holder in the party by issuing to him
at handsome chroroo certificate of a
contribution of 810 or more, has been
established, and Senator Quay’s late
private secretary, Frank Willing
JLeach, in his capacity ns deputy sec
l etary of the republican national com-
mittee. is sending out invitations to
I he men on the lists of the various
committees, which have been procur
ed for that purpose, to take slock in
the grand old party.
This is enough to bring a deep
blush of honest shame to every honest
man in the land. And yet these bri
hers ciy out '‘fraud’’ at the south. It
is the old dodge of a thief crying out
“Stop thief.”
Our Memorial Day.
This is Thomnsvillc’s Memorial
Day. For good reasons Saturday,
the 26th, was not observed, but to
day Thomasville will pay tribute to
those who fell battling for the Lost
Cause. Old men and sires, young
men, maids, matrons and little chil
dren, carrying (he fresh flowers of
spring, will gather around the graves
of Dixie’s dead in Laurel Hill,
wreathe their humble graves with
flowers and water them with their
tears. No costly marble shafts mark
their graves, but they aref^pabalmed
in the affections of the people. Their
memory will be cherished when mon
uments have crumbled into dust.
As appropriate to the day, we sub
join the following poems:
TOAST or BOr.OAK'S MEN.
By Captain Tlirope, of Kentucky.
Unclaimed by the land that bore us,
Lost in the field, we find
The brave have gone before us,
Cowards arc left biliind!
Then stand to your glasses, steady,
Here’s a health to those we prize,
Here's a toast to the dead already,
And here’s to the next who dies.
somebody's darling.
Hiss Marie La Coste, Georgia.
Into a ward of the white-washed lmlls
Where the dead and the dying lay—
Wounded by bayonets, shells and balls,
Somebody’s darling was borne ene day,
Somebody’s darling, so young and so brave 1
Wearing yet on his sweet pale face—
Soon to be hid by the dust of the grave-
The lingering light of his boyhood's grace.
Somebody’s watching aud waiting for him,
Yearning to hold him again to her heart;
And there he lies, with his blue eyes dim,
And his smiling, child-like lips apart.
Tenderly bury the fair young dead—
Pausing to drop o’er his grave a tear;
Carve on the wooden slab o’er his head,
“Somebody's darling slumber “here.”
His First Veto.
“Washington, April 26.—Presi
dent Harrison sent his first veto to
the House to-day. The bill was oue
to authorize the city of Ogden, Utah,
lo assume increased indebtedness.
The ground oftho veto was thnt
the bill is in contravention of the
general law limiting municipal in
debtedness.”
Harrison will find some mighty fine
openings for more vetoes—-if he will
keep his eye on laws passed by his
own party.
TUE JACKET Of CRAY.
Fold it up carefully, lay it aside,
Tenderly touch it, look on it with pride—
For dear must it be to our hearts CTcrmore,
The Jacket of Gray our loved soldier-boy
wore.
Ah, rain, all vain, were our prayers and our
tears:
The glad shout of victory sang in our cars,
But our treasured one on the red battlefield
lay,
While the life-blood oozed out on the Jack
et of Gray.
His young comrades found him and tenderly
bore
The cold, lifeless form to bis home by the
shore.
Oh Mark were our hearts on that terrible
day,
When we saw our dead hoy in the Jacket
of Gray.
We laid him to rest in his cold, narrow bed,
And graved on the marble we placcdo'er bis
head,
As the proudest of tributes our 6ad hearts
could say,
“He never disgraced the Jacket of Gray."
Then fold it up carefully, lay it aside,
Tenderly touch it, look on it with pride—
For dear must it be to our hearts evermore,
The Jacket of Gray our soldier boy wore.

They Will All Close.
We are informed by the committee
of ladies who went around to see the
merchants, that every ono seen signed
to close irom 3J o'clock until 7. Two
or three were not seen, but they, too,
will no doubt close.
THE CONQUERED BANNED.
Furl that Banner, foi ’tis weary;
Round its staff ’tis drooping dreary;
Furl it, fold it, it is best:
For there's not a man to wave it,
And there's not a sword to save it,
And there’s not ono left to lave it
In the blood which heroes gave it;
And its foes row scorn and brave it;
Furl it, hide it—let it rest.
Take that Banner down, ’tis tattered;
Broken is its statT and shattered;
And the valiant hosts nre scattered,
Over whom it floated high.
Oh I ’tis hard for us to fold It;
Hard to think there’s none to hold it;
Hard that those, who once unrolled it;
New must thrl it with n sigh.
