Bcv. G. L. Taylor, returned yester

Baptist State Convention, which has
just closed its annual session in La

Mr. Wni. Ivahr and wife left for
their home in Manitowoc, Wis., last
Friday. Few visitors enjoyed them-

more pleasant, contented and happy.
They report only one mistake made
tince they left home, and that was
they did not come direct to Thomas-
villc. They were perfectly charmed
ith the climate, the flowers and the
country generally; and if necessity
should require them to leave homo
again this fall, they will most assur
edly return to Thomasvillc, and advise
all their friends to do likewise. Thom-

Brought Home.
The remains of Mrs. Martha P.
Harvey, whose death in Portsmouth,
Va., has already been noticed in these
columns, arrived yesterday on the
noon train. They were accompanied
hy r Mr. O, D. Ball, Jr. A large con
course of friends were at tho depot
when the train pulled in. Underta
ker Walker took c harge of the casket,
anil it was transmitted by the pall
bearers to the hearse. The cortege of
mourners moved off, following the
hearse to the cemetery, where the de
ceased was laid to rest beside her kin
dred. Ilev. Mr. Williams, pastor of
the Baptist church, after drawin
impressive lesson for the living, paid
a beautiful tribute to the memory and
virtues of the dead- Some rare and
beautiful flowers were deposited on
the richly covered casket before the
lid was replaced.
It was noticeable that quite a mint
Iter of old family servants wore pres
cut. Some of them were very much
affected.
Thus has passed away a pure chris
turn woman, one whom till will mi:

Will This Apply to Thomas

The Ttmes-Union. Jacksonville, has
been talking pretty plainly to the
merchants of that city, about their
lack of unity and concert of action in
building up the trade ol that place
Here is a specimen paragraph:
“To find one of the causes why
Jacksonville just now is practically
a standstill, as far as her material pro
gress and her commercial develop
ment are concerned, one need look no
farther titan among her business men
the wholesalers and jobbers more par
ticularly, who control her trade and
who are supposed to be straining
every nerve and all their energies for
its promotion.
“There is a decided lack of harmony
among them.
“Shouting and whistling becorn" a
decidedly tame occupation when there
is little, if any, to shout and whistle
about, The situation calls lor a
decided reform.”
We submit to the merchants and
business men of Thomasvillc, whether
the situation here, as in Jacksonville,
does not “call for a decided reform.”
There is something lacking, gentle
men. What is it ?
Thomasville should he widening the
borders ol her tradr. instead of draw
ing them in.
What’s the matter?
The G. S. & F. Reaching For
Savannah.
The News, in its issue of yesterday,
says:
“Chief Engineer, W. II. Wells, of
the Macon and Atlantic railroad has
returned to Macon. While here, Mr.
Wells met quite a number of friends
• f the new road, and he left the im
pressiuti indelibly fixed that the road
will 1 >e built. The line is now being
surveyed, and no matter how much
the Central may do on the Savannah
Dublin and Western, or what Col
Maclien may say about building, it
will not deter the Macon and Atlantic
from pushing on from Macon to Sa
vannah.
“The new company obtained
charter last week, the stock in the
construction company it is claimed
has all 1 ken taken, and the only com
plaint made it is said, is that tlicr
was not enough stock offered in Sn
vannnh. It is understood that the
$100,000 assigned to Savannah has all
been taken, principally among mer
chants and capitalists, although it is
understood that John R. Young and
others on the Bay took some of the
took. Some of the heaviest capital
isls in Savannah were willing to take
a large block of stock, but didn’t earc
to go in as minority stockholders, and
some four or five of them arc said to
have drawn out.’’

Original Packages.
Washington, May 26.—In the Sen
ator to-day Mr. Wilson of Iowa, from
the committee on judiciary, reported
the following bill as a substitute for
the original package liquor bill, now
under consideration in the Senate :
That when any intoxicating liquors
shall be transported front one state or
territory to another, or from any for
eign country, such liquors shall, when
actual and continuous transportation
of the same shall have terminated, be
considered to have ceased to be sub
jects of interstate commerce and be
part of the common mass of property
within the state or territory, and be
subject to the respective powers of
the state or territory in respect of all
police regulations of prohibition, regu
lation or taxation.
It this bill passes, and it is probable
that it or some similar measure will be
enacted by congress, the original
package business will be brought to
an abrupt lamination.
Ancient Feet.
V noticeable thing a hunt the statues
found in our museums of art, sup
posed to represent, the perfect figures
of ancient men anil women, is the ap
parently disproportionate size of
ncir feel. We moderns are apt to
rouniince them loo large, partial
il ly those of the females. Ft will ho
mill, however, that for symmetrical
iiTection these feet could not he bet-
r. A Greek sculptor would not
ink of such a thing as pulling a nine
neii fool on a five and one-half foot
man. Their types for these elassi-
tl marble figures were taken from
most perfect forms of living per
ms.—Shoe and Leather Reporter.
