Taylor, returned yester day from a meeting of the Colored Baptist State Convention, which has just closed its annual session in La Grange. Thomasvillc’s representa tive reports a very interesting session of the body, and says that the dele gates received every kindness at the hands of the good people of La Grange, both white and colored. Mr. Wni. Ivahr and wife left for their home in Manitowoc, Wis., last Friday. Few visitors enjoyed them- seves letter, and made themselves 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- asville will gladly welcome all such isitors to Iter homes. Bellamyism is increasing but not very rapidly. There are notv twelve Looking Backward Clubs’' in New York and Brooklyn.

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: who knew her in life. Will This Apply to Thomas villc? 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.’’ SIGNAL SERVICE BUREAU Pi.

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. AT LEVY’S. 100 dozen Ladies’ Jersey Ribbed Under Vests just received.
