Miss Rate Grtfltn left yesterday

Have you a broken umbrella ? < he
umbrella man is in town. This re

the editor's umbrella recently will re

Tobe Slater, one of our best known
colored men, and who has been for
years the popular delivery porter for
the Red Front Grocery, lias bought a
neat wagon and a serviceable horse,
and will run a city express. Tobe
has hosts of friends in the city, and
they will not lorgct him when they
have work in his line. The Times-
Enterprise is always glad to chroni
cle the prosperity of our colored peo
ple, and hv the way, Thomasville
has a splendid class of such citizens.
Lots of Fun and Fish.
The party of railroad men from the
depot, who spent Wednesday on the
lake, had a glorious time, and brought
back n lot of fine fish as a result of
their skill. One of the party killed
seven snakes, another fell overboard,
and the whole company got lost in the
swamp. Barring these little inci
dents, which were accepted as fisher
man’s luck, every one had a good
time.
Of Interest to Fathers, Mothers
and Children.
Now that the long summer morn
ings ami afternoons are upon us, why
cannot they he utilized in working up
a renewed interest in the Public Li
brary ?
This institution has not been patron
ized, and supported as it should have
been. It lias been, in a sense, lost
sight ofin the pursuit of other things.
Every father and mother in the place
should feel anil take au interest in the
library. Their hoys and girls may
find there healthy and nutritious men
tal food. They will not find on the
shelves of the institution any Jesse
James, Dick Turpin, blood curdling
literature, hut a class of works, the
reading and study of w hich, will bet
ter prepare them for the duties of life.
These will make them better and
more useful men and women.
We should remember that the girls
and hoys of to-day are the men and
women of the future; the hope of the
country. IIow important it is then,
that their early training and reading
should be directed in the proper chan
nels. This is eminently a reading
ace. If a girl or hoy can’t get hold
of a good hook, they will read and de
vour a trashy one. And lmw many
lives have been blasted by the flashy,
yellow hack literature of the day '! A
public libraty, it supported and pa
tronized, will avert much—it not all
—of these dangers which beset the
youth of our land.
We appeal, in conclusion, for these
and many other reasons, to the citi
zens of Thomasville to hold up the
hands of the few gentlemen who have
given their time and attention to
keeping up this worthy and commend
able institution.
Wants to Know About the Rail
road Situation.
Mi:. Editor Do you,or does any
body else hereabouts, know whether
the Georgia Southern and Florida
Railroad Company intend really to
build a road from Tifton here, or h
all this parade about right of way and
terminal facilities a mere sham and
pretense to prevent Thomasville do
ing something else.
If you or any olio else are inside, and
can give reliable information about
the matter, the general public, as well
those who have contributed to the
purchase of the terminal facilities,
would like to know what it is.
If the project of the Georgia South
ern is not a reality, then we should go
to woik and get the Augusta ami
West Florida road built. That will
come fif it comes at all,) through
Thomasville. Ci.m.

Worth Thinking About.
Who 11 you want a lawyer do yon ask all
the attorneys their price, and then employ
the cheapest? Do you not rather look for
the one whose skill and knowledge of law
will protect your interest?
Why not apply the game idea to other
matters where confidence is a factor in your
dealings; for instance, in the purchase of a
hat or lionnct. It cannot lie denied that
considering t/uality and price, one hat may
he dear at one dollar, another cheap at five.
One bonnet dear at two dollars, another
cheap at ten. To decide the question of
cheapness we must consider:
1st. The standing of the establishment
which sells the hat.
2nd. The value as regards correct style
and nice finish, which all require in a hat.
3rd. The satisfaction given to others who
buy from the Baltic house.
Vow, we don't pretend to keep the biggest
stock of hats, and the only nice huts, the
cheapest hats, and to sell at less than cost,
and all that sort of thing, but wo do claim
to sell you vim! you mint and to guarantee
natirfaction after you get it.
Some say “prices are high,” but all admit
they get more than was expected when the
hat is finished. Wc make it a point to let
no shoddy work go out from our store. If
a (lower is needed here, a ribbon there, or
an ornament in another place, on it goes,
and nothing said of extra cost. The hat
must look nice, and so it does.
IIow happy we would he if we could only
get the contractor to sprinkle the street in
front of our .store too. We have offered to
pay and to pay well—$1, $2, $3, $4, or any
thing reasonable—but it seems without
avail, and wc have to keep up an unceasing
light on the dust, and trust to the clouds,
which arc “few and far between.”
