suits worth I — •••*—-
Our old lrieud, Mr. Barker, was in
town yesterday. "I have the best
suits worth I cro P " hich has been s rowu ou n, y
place for years,” he said, in response to
an inquiry about his crop. “I will
make a bale ot cotton to the acre, if
no misfortune happens, and my corn
will hide a mule, when plowing, now,”
he continued.
This is the way to farm.

Ivey, ofCobimbn*. were guests of the
Gulf yesterday. x
Messrs. C. H. Young, Wych Lin
ton and Bufus Eaves have returned
from the lake. They caught over a
hundred fish.
Had Too Much Whisky.
The excursion crowd that returned
from Bainbridge Friday night, seem
cd quite different from the good nu-
ttircd, fun oving party that left the
depot here that morning. It was very
evident that they had looked too long
on the liquor when it was red, and
several men who were securely hand
cuffed, in one curl of u ear, showed
that the officers had been vigilant,
a-id that some of the party had conic
to grief. The police had some diffi
cult}' in managing the excursionists
during the short time the trnin stop
ped here. They fired off pistols, and
threw uottlcs at everyone in reach, as
the train sped along.
No Connections.
I ravellers are complaining that there
is no connection at Bainbridge with
the Alabama Midland, and that they
arc compelled to lay over there all
night. Thi-> inconvenience the road
promises shall only be temporary.
On to Richmond.
Hon. John I). Harrell, a prominent
citizen of Bainbridge, and a represena-
tive ot Decatur county in the legisla
ture, passed through the city yester
day, en route to the unveiling of Lee's
monument at Richmond, Va. Mr.
Harrell is on Govcnor Gordon’s staff.
The
Seriously
Another Crowd.
There will be a big excursion to
Jacksonville next Friday, May 30th.
Arrangements arc being made by the
railroad authorities here to accommo
date the big crowd that is expected to
go down.
Mr. .1. 1). Simpkins, of Monticcllo,
was among the Floridians in the city
yesterday.
The hotels are filled with drummers

Keifer’s Not
Injured.
Editor TiMjis-Knterprise :
The statement in the Times-Ex-
teiifrihk of yesterday, that the Kcif-
fer pear tree? were “blighting badly’
is in my opinion, misleading. A
blight that docs not seriously injure or
kill the limbs of a pear tree is not
“bnd.” 1 spent yesterday in exam
ining the treesabout Thomasville, and
I found less than ten per ceut. of the
of the trees attacked at all; and the
disease in every instance is confined to
the new growth on a few of the fruit
spurs, or other tender shoots, and
stops there.
In no instance did I see a branch ns
large as a lead pencil, diseased. Our
Keiffer pear tree.-, arc in no danger of
being harmed by blight.
The constitutional vigor and thrift
of the Keiffer and LcContc pear trees,
or some other inherent quality, ena
bles them to successfully resist the
deadly effects of that terrible malady
that has been so destructive to the old
varieties of pears, fur the Inst half
century.
Take care of the LeCoutc aud Keif-
ter pear trees. There is more money
in them than anything else that can
be grown on our soil.

Kilitor Tijucs-Estkiii'iusb:
1 beg to make a suggestion through
your columns, ns nil Alliance man,
and also as a democrat. The Alliance
men of Thomas county arc all demo
crats, but they think their interests
should he fully protected in the next
legislature. There is one man who
will, I am sure, look after the interests
of the farmer, if he is nominated and
elected to the .Senate. That man is
Hon. Robert G. Mitchell, He would

satisfactory to our order. We know
him and lie knows us. Let us all
come together and semi the best men
