We are hurried along by great events and have no time to think what they mean. Tne world makes history every day, and does not know it. Let us con sider for a moment what gave this order birth, and what has lent inspi ration to its work, since it came into being. It is not a great while, only three years, since the order was first started in the South. At first st was alternately the subject of ridicule and of abuse. One man ridiculed it on account of its insignificance, another abused it forwlut he t ought were its objects.* But it lias lived and prospered, and the small cloud, no larger than a man’n hand of a few years ago, has grown to be of such proportions that it overshadows the whole country. To students of humor events it is as clear as day that there is a grand propelling cause that stands behind the move. If it was founded on imaginary wrongs, or was grounded and sustained by personal ambition, it would die before the breath that spoke it into life had faded into air. What does it mean ? This is the question of the hour. All over this broad land of ours it is being asked with hope in some cases, with fear in others. Does it not mean this, that the sober second thought of the conserva tive ma-ses lias risen to rebuke the causes that have made trusts so com mon a d grinding monopolies familiar to sight and sense ? Does it not. mean that the day of reckoning has come, or is coming, to the money kings of our laud, to the men thatr have growu fat from sub stance gathered from thousands of un willing homes and tens of thousands of hands rendered powerless by grasp ing and relentless corruption in high places? Does it not mean that relief is coin ing to the tax burdened, privilege ridden people of the country? Does it not mean, that whether relief comes in the manner in which the alliance seeks to bring it, that rebel will come, and that the very agitation of the proposed means renders relict from any source possible. The answers to tlnsc questions are J Prof. Kohl. G.

At the South Georgia Collegs. Yesterday was a busy owl intcrest- ,ing day with the pupils and teachers of the above institution. The bright little army of primaries, taught by Miss Mattie Williams, were thorough ly examined on the different studies which they have been pursuing under the gnidanc of their faithful teaclxv. And they acquitted themselves well, giving unmistakable evidence of care ful training. The examinations were creditable to both teacher and pupils. Capt. Miller put some of the more ad vanced classes through algebra and trigonometry. He had some bright boys and girls at the blackboard, and they showed the effects of hard study and good teaching. Capt. Miller is very thorough in these branches, and lie has imparted much of his :>wn thoroughness to his pupils. On Monday, the classes in langua ges and higher mathematics will be examined. The friends and patrons of the institution should attend these examinations. It not only enables them to sec what progress the children are making, but encourages both scholars and teachers. A Car Load. Yesterday a Timi->-Enti;ui'JUsj-: re porter in passing Fudge’s hardware store, noticed a long line of cook stoves being arranged in the rear. ‘1 have a whole carload of them,'’ said -Mr. Fudge to the reporter; “I offered a great bargain of course, or I would not have bought them at this season of the year.” “You will be obliged to sell off some of them or make your store larger,” said the reporter. “I am going to sail the stores, if cheap prices will do it,” said Mr. Fudge. If the ladies will call around and see Mr. Fudge, they can buy a now stove lor a very low price. Drop (iffy cents in the slot, and guess at the population of the town. Lieut. Hopkins, of the Hussars, had the boys out for a drill Thursday night. A. & W. F. It is noticeable that it does not re quire so much time as formerly, to get the mail up from the depot.

The Augusta and West Florida Con struclion company, so it now Iran spires, was organized and officered Monday. Not only that—but all the legal pa pers in connection with the matter were drawn up by Messrs. Harper & Bro, A Chronicle reporter again saw all of the genilemen concerned, but they declined to say anything about the projection, further than that any men tion of the matter would furnish the big syndicates with weapons, with which to freeze them out. The com pany was certainly formed Monday, but just whether Mr. Bailey or Capt. James is president no one on the out side can say. This much is known though that enough money will be spent to finish the lire to the Central railroad, after which it will be bonded in order to continue the work on to Florida. The Augusta end of the road can be made to pay handsomely, as the saw mills of Messrs. Thompson and James would aloi.c ship over thirty car loads of lumber per dry. People were heard to say, too, that several new roads wanted to arrange with this line for connections to Florida.—Augusta Chronicle, To the Public. We the undersigned member of the H. W. Hopkins Cornet Band or ganized the 2nd inst, intend with good material associated with us, to give the citizens of Thomasville a good brass band ; and we appeal to all, who are so disposed, to aid us. We have or ganized a good band, and we hope, very soon, to be able to furnish the town with some good music. Tn the meantime our instruments have to be paid for, uniforms secured, teacher employed, and other necessary ex penses will have to be incurred, so that all will sec that we will need all the h ip we can get. We will be grateful for any contributions from our white friends. Respectfully, F’. Fi.ippeii, Jr , l’res’t. A. M. Brown, Treas’r. I). FI. Henderson, Sec’y The Beverlys Burnt Out.

After three days of hard work a deptli of 28 feet was reached; the w<*ll digger left his tools and a measuring stick at the bottom ope day and went home to dinner. ’ There was no appearance of water in the well. When the digger returned nfter din ner, he found the well full to tne level of the ground and hi.-* measure float ing oil toji. From appearances it was evident that the water had overflowed during his absense. It begun at once to re cede, and lias gone back to a deptli of six feet. This is a queer phenomenon, and one that cannot be explained, except on the theory, that hidden in the bos om of the earth, all through this sec tion there, are streams of water, which if tapped will rise above the level of the ground. A Novelty. The depot building and lot of the S. F\ & \V. By., at Cairo, is advertis ed to be sold at sheriff ’s sale, the first Tuesday in July, It is advertised to i>e sold to satisfy a Justice Court Fi. Fa. in favor of John S. lloddiford. This is rather a novel procedure and is not often seen in Georgia, or else where. Mr. John S. Montgomery has sold the bouse and lot next door to the house occupied by Mr. Henry T* Mash, to the Messrs. Dixon. The property belonged to Mr. II. M. Lit tle. The Messrs. Dixon are showing their faith in Thomasville real estate i in no uncertain wav. A New Line of Steamers. Thomasville is interested in the fol lowing, taken Irotn the Tallahatsean of this week: “Howard’s Independent Line of Steamers, backed by merchants and capitalists of New Orleans, has been organized. “Three steamers or more a week, as the trade demands, are to ply from New Orleans, touching at Pensacola, Apalachicola, St. Marks. Cedar Keys, Tampa and Manatee. “F'irst-ciass freight to any of these points from New Orleans will be car ried at the low rate of 35 cents per hundred. “F'lour will be delivered at the St. Marks wharf at only 30 cents per bar rel freight. The first steamer will leave New Orleans next Saturday, Jure 7, another on June 10, others on the 20th and 25th. “This is the golden opportunity to restore St. Marks to its former impor tance as a Gulf port, and it behooves the Tallahassee merchants and busi ness men to patronize the new line liberally. Meats, flour, bay, grain, etc., can be purchased in New Orleans at prices much lower than Flastern markets ; in fact, with the low freight rates to be secured by this line of steamers to St. Marks, New Orleans will be a right good place for ’.be Tallahassee mer chants to buy the bulk of their goods.’ St. Marks is only a fraction oveJ twenty miles from Tallahassee. With good freight rates to tins point from either St. Marks or Carabclle, Thom- asvillc ought to be one of the best gro cery markets in the state. And she would be. It would revive old memo ries in the minds of those who remem ber when cotton was hauled from here to St. Marks, in the long ago, if that old town was to become, again, a great shipping port. A certain lady (wc are alraid to mention names) in our city, learning that frozen egg-nog was superior to ice cream, concluded to have some yes terday for dinner. After making the egg nog and placing it in the churn, and packing the ice around it, the fun began. The lady of the house, the cook, the maid of all work, the gar dener, the coachman, hired man and an unfortunate tramp, who called at the back door, exhausted their strength in trying to freeze the decoction, but up to the lime of going to press it was still old fashion egg-nog, an extra sup ply of ice and an extra force had been brought in. and there is no telling what the result will be. We predict, however, that the effort will end in a failure, as I. W. Har per’s Nelson Co. Ky. whiskey was used in making the egg-nog, and there is no use talking you can’t freeze it F'.xchange. A reporter of the Albany News asked Captain It. F\ Brimberry if he would stand as the rebubhean candi date for congress in the second dis trict, and he replied evasively that he had said nothing to lead to that con clusion. Reed has cut ofl the toddies of the members of the bouse. The house has submitted to much from Mr. Reed, but they will probably rebel at this last innovation. Col. Tom i lardeman has his eye on the governorship. Good news : the Southern base ball league has disbanded. SIGNAL SERVICE BUREAU — -AT K. Ibomij Jr’s-1!6 Broad Strut.
