Northern, agent for the Queen nnd Crescent route is in the city. Ho is looking niter melons. His headquarters are at Jacksonville, and he is very popular with the pa trons of his routo. The festival by the ladies of St. Thomas Church Guild last night, was a success. Tiic ices were nice, tho young ladies were charming and tho public was satisfied. Quite a snug sum wns realised. Mr. F. A. Wallace, of the L. A N. system, and working for shipments via Montgomcryjor River Junction, is in the city. The Montgomery route is one of the oldest and most popular routes for fruit shipments to western points. Messrs L. Steycrman & Bro., bought 7,000 pounds of wool yester- pay from Messrs Hubers and Murphy, of Colquitt county. These gentlemen realize dover 81500 for their clip,which would seem to indicate that wool growing pays in South Georgia. The card of Gohlinghorst, Schley & Co., commission merchants, Balti more, appears this morniug. The members of the firm are all young men, thoroughly familiar with the produce trade of their city. The representative in this section, Mr. W. S, Killingsworth, is active, cour teous reliable. Mr, N. E. Turner, chnirm in of the Board of Road commissions of Thom- asvillc distric, gives notice that all of the roads of this district must be put in thorough order by August *0th. Mr. Turner is in thorough earnest, and overscei3 will do well to govern themselves by his notice. In a few weeks crops will he out of the way, and farmers will have a good oppor tunity to look after the road. The Other Side of the Question- Home days since the Times-Entek- i-iiise contained an article, in which it was stated that Capt. George R. Mc- Rce had used some very stiong lan guage in reference toune of the agents of the melon exchange or syndicate. The article did not give the name ot the house, hut it was generally un derstood that the one referred to by ('apt. McRcc, was Mr G. L Law rence, of New York. Mr. Nixon, Mr. Lawrence's representative in this sec tion, has furnished 11s with copies of the account sales of the four cars that gave Capt. McRcc so much dissatis faction. They were sold from June 16th to 19th, ; and netted respectively, 88S, 8112, $140 and $149, which is an averogp ofi8122.2C per car. ItwouMUsoem that this 13 n very fine average-price. The TTmes-Extkrpiijse has noth ing to do' with the merits of the dis pute -dr* difference between Capt. McRefc | and Mr. Lawrence ; it gave tho news ttem because it was a part of its busines to do so, and it now gives Mr. Lawrence’s answer with equally as much pleasure. Tins much is said because the effort is being |madc to make it appear that we arc opposed to the melon exchange pr syndicate. This is not ease. ! We appreciate fully the good that has been done by the exchange for the growers, but we do not feel called on for that reason to swallow, or ignore what we consider were mis takes that had been made by the men in charge of the move. The melon business is for longer than one year, and any mistake made now, will certainly affect the business another season. Three Hundred and Fifty Three Guesses. The guesses ut the city’s popula tion have been checked off, and a list put 011 exhibition at R. Thomas’ drug store. Three hundred nnd fifty three guesses were registered. The highest one madu was 7,755. This gi.es*, while made hv a gentleman who has great faith that the population of our city will ho a surprise, did not intend making such a big 011c. One guess was placed in by some one who failed to write his or her mime, he is re quested to come and state the number so that lie may he credited with the same. It Has Come. The machinery for the steam Laun dry has come, and will he set in place at once, and in a few days Thomas- ville will have as complete a steam Laundry as there is in the south. The call and delivqry wagon has come, and it is a beauty. Mr. Hon- dersou, the superintendent, will use every efioit to give our people satis factory work and piiccs. The accomodation freight due to leave here for Chattahoochee at about six o’clock in the afternoon, did not leave until nearly two o’clock yester day morning. This train has been several hours late eveiy night nearly, since tho melon season. Mrs. H.G. McLendon left yesterday for Athens, to visit friends and rela tives. Mr. McLendon accompanied j her as far as Macon. Later on he | will join her nt Athens, and they will I go to the mountains, or seashore, for j the summer mouths. Among the graduates in the 1890 j law class of the State University at Athens, is Mr. J. E.

Quite u had wreck occurred on the Alabama Midland Ry., yesterday. The accident happeued at Shcwmnke, j a small station 27 miles from Bain- bridge.

A colored man wns in the city yes terday looking for his four children, who ran away from home Tuesday. He lives nine miles from town, nnd yesterday after having searched for them since they left home, lie suc ceeded in finding the runaways. The eldest of the children, a girl told the reporter a pitiful tale of a cruel step mother, who heat and abused her continuously. Although living with in comparatively a few miles of the city they had never boon here but twice. Notwithstanding the cries of the children,'they were placed in a ve hicle and carried home, where their father promir 1 he wtmld severely punish them for running away; Headquarters Moved. Mr. A. A.

This is a heavy shipment or 011c day, and shows that the fidlnnd is coming to the front, as ne of the popular route to Western oints. Its advantages, being the liort and the direct line, are hound j give it a liberal share of business. Resolutions of Respect.
