It began burning on top ne,-ir More About our Branch College. The Timkh-Entkrpbise had some thing to say yesterday morning, con cerning the action of the University Trustrces in cutting off tho branch colleges of the patent institution, from participation in the income, the uni versity derives from tho land scrip fund. There linve been no further developments in the matter, and Col. MacIntyre, our homo member of the Board lias not returned from Athens. There is a bit of unwritten history in connection with the branch, colleges, that is interesting in the light of sub sequent events. When tire school property at Thomasville and Cuthbcrt was deeded to the university, the late Judge Clarke, representing Outhbert, inserted a clause in the deed, ccmveying the property in that town, proviso that it would revert to its original owners, whenever the univer sity failed orjrefused to grant an appro priation for the support of the school. Thoraasville’s representatives took tho position that, by throwing themselves entirely on the mercy of the Trustees of the parent school,, and deeding them the splendid pro perty in Fletch- erville, without reservation,they would establish a closer bond between the two institution, aaid thereby gain a better income, with, fewer chances of its being cut off. The result of their confidence is tlmt the university holds the deeds to the property, encu inhered it is true, with the condition, that it shall al ways be used fix r school purposes, and Thomnsville i olds the responsi bility of supporti ug the institution without aid from tl ic real owners. The property cos t our people n good round sum, and :is useless as an in- or o tho."wise, unless it is used for school. ..purposes. It would seem to- bo the. proper course inndor so “Voter" Has Something to Say. Editors Ti.ME.s-E.vTr.r.rnf'*'* A good deal has been said, and something has been written, as to who shall represent Thomas county, and the 7th Senatorial district in,the next legislature. It 1ms been suggested that ono man from Thomnsville, nnd one man from the county, outside of Thomnsville, that will ho supported by the Alii* ance, he placed in nomination for the lower House. This is a popular sentiment, and is probably endorsed by the citizens of Thomnsville. Tt is thought that all good citizens in town or country, are favorable to the Alliance, and would assist its members in carrying out the object of their organization ; hence there can be no objection to their naming a suitable man ns their candidate. Hon. Rob ert Alexander represented them ably in the last General Assembly; he now says he is not a candidate for re-elec tion. Mr. A. (i. Moody is a member of the Alliance order, and would make a good representative. Hon. A McIntyre, Jr., should be returned His services to the county in securing tho extension of the G. S. & F, Ry. to Thomnsville, is an evidence that ho can do his constituency further good service. Let him he returned. Boh Mitchell, not Boh Lee, is to represent three counties, but must be recommended by Thomas county. This will, without doubt, be done, as ho seems to lie a universal favorite. If will be well to remember, that neither of the gentlemen named, are tax payers in the city of Thomnsville, but they are not for that cause with' out interest in the welfare of the town, and the people of Thomasville are will- The - Old - Reliable CITY ing to trust them. Every one should premises to ask. the university to deed the property 'jack io the old T rustees, to he held in trust .for the j’Cople of our town and section. Tl icn let the trustees, the town and South Georgia, go to work to build up such an institution of Laming, as will carry out the objects had iu view when the school was first entablis.'ied. A Great Convenience. Mr. J, M. Dreyer hns received and is operating a Remington Simplex Duplicator, by means of which he can produce at least 100 perfect copies of a letter or other document.

The Hussars’ Tournament July 4th, will be a ve ry pleasant event. The S. F. & W„ Ry. has given a reduced dates that are best qualified to pro tect and serve the best interests of. the people, regnrdless of place of resi dence. We are all democrats, let us, therefore, pull together. If this is replied to, 110 further communication will be writteu by “VoTKB.” Mr. Anton I*. Wright has returned from Athens, where he lias been at tending the .State University. He took a line stand in his class, and his detriment and application were credit to him. Mr. Sam Cassels, Jr, stopped at Augusta, where he inking in the encampment. Mr. John W. Mitchell leaves for New York to morrow to lake a place with l’ike and Banks commission merchants, for the season. He will look carefully after all shipments made-to his house. Ho has been ou the road for the same house for some weeks, and has secured a number of consignments of melons, l’ike nnd Banks handled quite a lot of pears from this place last season, and their sales were satisfactory. Corrected Schedule. We give place in our local columns this morning to a revised schedule, which gives arrival and departure from Thomasville, of all I rains that carry passengers. Funeral Notice. The friends nnd acquaintances of Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Jeter are invited to attend the funeral services of the latter, from the family residence, up per Broad street, this morning at 9 o’clock, the end, and before anybody kiir.w it the flame burst through into the ear and almost stifled tho men. The Videttes snapped tUo hell lino tn two trying to stop the train, and they had to get out of »he car the best they could. Tho stampede for the door leading into the front coach, which was occupied by the Thomas- villc Guards, caused almost a panic in the coach, nud considerable excite ment prevailed until private Hunter of the Georgia Hussars pulled the steam whistle cord nnd brought the train to a stop. The flumes were soon extinguished by water from the engine. The Vi- dottes caused some merriment among the other soldiers as they walked around through the train hugging their guns, as if ready to leap through a window if a second alarm of fire was turned in. The fire was caused by a spark from the engine. come 10 see the tourney. Most.ot the schedules by which in coming passengers will reach the city arnv/c here early in the morning II'jw would it do for our citizens to l.oin nod have a good old fashioned celebration of the Glorious Natal day of the nation? An oration in the for.-noon an ad- jouriunent to llic place the ladies of the Hussars will furnish dinner, the tourney in the afeernoonn, the election of ihe sponsor for the company and supper afterwards, would makc a day of pleasure, that would long be re membered. There is but little time left in which to make preparations for such an event, hence, if this sugges tion is acted on at all, it must be done at oncee. simile copies of letters, and saves a great amount of labor. Everybody Thousand The and Georgian Southern Florida, Tho Georgia Southern and Florida lias opened a new and popular all rail route for melon and pear shipments to the east. The line made a good record for time and condition last sea son, and it is doing the same again. The people of the melon belt feel very kindly towards the G. S. & F., and are giving it quite a liberal patronage. 1 How is That? Tho Augusta Chronicle iu speakiug of the Dalton Guards, says the com pany traveled further to reach the cncauipmcnt|than auy one present. The Chronicle is in error iu this ; the distance traveled by the Thomasville Guards to reach Augusta wus .331 miles, the Dalton company traveled 271 miles. There is not mtc-h in the matter, but it is just as well to be correct. Melon Shipments. Melon shipments are heavy. Never before in tho history ot the business have so many cars gone for ward so early in the season. It may he that the growers are enwding the markets too hard ; the weather is not favorable in all the nmrketi; for good prices, and it is to be feared that pri ed will break under tlm heavy re ceipts.
