Work lias commenced on a number
of new sidetracks to be put in at the

The Tourney given by the Hussars
July -lib, promises to be one of the
most pleasant event! of the season.
The whist club met at the residence
ot Mr. Tom Rail on Dawson street
Tuesday night, and passed a pleasant
evening.
Mr, Aiken and mother, of Pensa
cola, Fla., who have been visiting
Mr. T. E. Illackshear, left for home
yesterday afternoon.
News was almost as dull yesterday
ns the town, and if you were on the
streets, you need not lie told what a
strong expression this is.
Judge W. D. Mitchell lias plans
for a new residence in die hands of
an architect, and work will likely be

A large number at hotel waiters ieft

Mr. William Miller is having some

touches to a neat cottage.
Rev. W. J. Snively, of Louisville,
vention center of the country, and
now hardly a week passes that does
not witness some gathering lliere.
This same spirit, in another direction,
prompted the people of the Gate City
to offer inducements, oftentimes noth
ing more than kindly and hospitable
treatment to their neighbors to come
and spend a day or two days with
them This hospitable design has
borne good fruit and the people in any
direction about Atlanta feci thorough
ly at home when they get there. It
might be said that it was a selfish feel
tng that prompted Atlanta, but the
world does not recognize it as such,
and die effect is beyond doubt, good.
Thomasville ought to adopt the
same policy. Tlieie is no town in
this section that can offer anywhere
near as many attractions as Tliotnas-
ville, and strangers can pass a day
most pleasantly here at all times.
The train of thought has been set
motion by the effort the Hussars are
making to gather a large crowd from
neighboring towns to see their tourna
ment, July 4ih.
We suggest that all of our people join
heartily with the Hussars, and let us
make the event the most pleasant that
Thomasville has known for many
years. The Timhs-En'ilri'KISK hopes
the tailroatls will meet the w shes of
the Hussars in the matter of low rates
and convenient schedules for the day.
There are traditions that be’ong to the
“Glorious Fourth” that ought to in
spire a good crowd, and the Hussars
themselves ought to inspire in the
same direction.
Crops Looking Well.
Col. H. S. Haines, of the Plant sys
tem in speaking to a Savannah News
reporter of a recent trip through
South (ieorgia says :
“He never saw crops looking so
well or farms in such excellent older,
and lie added that all along the route
he was impressed with the remarkably
good condition of the farms, and the
thriftv appearance of cotton, corn,
and the growing crops generally. He
says lie never knew such a melon crop
as is just beginning to go forward to
the market.

The next evening will be the last
one of the exercises, and the program
me will be carried out at the colored
Baptist Church, Madison street.
Heavy Shipments.
All the trains yesterday, both pas
senger and freight, were late, caused
by the heavy shipments of melons.
The sidetracks arc taxed beyond
their capacity, and the passenger
trains arc compelled to give prefer
ence to the freight trains. On the C
division, between here and Albany,
one hundred and live cars of melons
were being loaded. We expect to hear
of a disastrous drop in prices before
many days, for the quality of melons
that is going forward is not very high.
Obituary.

known young colored men in the city

A number of melon and railroad

Another Good Sale.
Mr. John Stout, New York, sold
Monday, a oar of melons for Messrs.
Hand & Wilkes, of Meigs, for 8220
gross, or a net of nearly .8200. If tlic
growers could always obtain such
good prices, there would be money in
raising melons.

No News.
Again we are disappointed in giving
our readcis news from the Guards.
It is likely that the boys are so busy
drilling, and enjoying camp life, that
they have forgotten to write or have
not tbo time. No news is good news,
and with this we must lie content.

Egyptian Cotton for this Country
Ani:\aniiki\, June 17.--Thejmove-
mentis on foot to export Egyytiun
cotton to Massachusetts, and an agent
is already en route to make the ncces
sary arrangements. The idea of the
promoters of the scheme is that the
cost of transporting cotton from the
southern states is so great toat they
will be able to send the Egpytian pro
duct to the United States at a profit.
There is not much danger that
Egpytian cotton will ever be sent to
this country. The country, however
will watch with some interest to see
how the experiment will turn out.
Tolleson Turned Loose.
Atlanta, Ga , June 17.—Tolleson
is free at last. Judge Clark released
the noted ex-hanker tliis morning from
jail, where I10 had been confined for
twelve montlifj for, refusal lo turn
over the assests of the bank.
This lias been a remarkable case.
The best legal talent in the state has
been trying to get, him out of jail ever
since his incarceration- Judge Clark’s
firmness and determination to make
an example of bank wrecking, has
been most highly commended.
Ex Senator Bailey's Position.
Ex-Senator E. B. Bailey of .Jeffer
son Co., Fla., is a candidate for re-
election. In a letter addressed to his
constituents, and published in the lust
issue of the Constitution, Mr. Bailey,
says:
While J am a member of the Farm
er's Alliance, and mi absolutely true
member, and hope and believe it will
accomplish great good, I am first a
Democrat, because I do sincerely he
lie.ve that the supremacy of the demo
cratic party in the south is a safe
guarantee ot good government. Its
success in the nation means tarill re
form and le.-s cost in the production
of cotton, its disruption in the
south might lead to results that would
cause the world to mourn.
And this wi M oe the position ot the
great bulk of the allianecmen
throughout the South.
