ancc in the columns of the Times-Ex-

The Midland will exercise a very
strong influence in developing tho
resources of Southwest Georgia, and
it cannot ho questioned that it opens
the shortest route between Florida
South Georgia and the west.
I he Midland is tho peer of any

are recognized as thorough rail road
men. They aro courteous in their
dealings, prompt, and anxious

when yon start to make a trip in that
direction.

A Suggestion.
Times-Enteki-rise:
Inasmuch as the town of Thomas-
illc lias endorsed Hon. 8. G. Mc
Lendon for the House, nml tho denv
ocrats of this county bare since tho
days of reconstruction, with ouc
ceptioa, sent one man from the town
and 011c man from tho county to the
house, I suggest that the county pre
sent its choice for the house to the
meeting called by the chairman Dcm.
Ex. Com. for the 12th inst., and with
Mr. Mcl-cudon have him endomd.
By adopting this plan, we will
oid tho first primnry usually held,
and save the voters going to the polls
twice. As Mr. Hardeman lias retired
from the gubernatorip' contest, 1 fur
ther suggest that the 12th would bo a
good time to appoint aud instruct
delegates for Col- W. J. Northeu. T
am an advocate of primaries, but think
under the circumstances, one criTFi
enough for Thonim county this yet , v .

Summer time is here.
Strange, but warm weather came
with it. The sunshines hot to a fel
low that has to work in the field these
long days.
A large member of our people at
tended the Masonic festival nt
Camilla last week. All report a roynl
time.
Mack Bullock the “censurer” lins
finished his rounds, and is at home
serene and happy.
We need a court house badly, lets
bare one.
Mrs. R. A. Perry has returned
from a pleasant visit to Cordele.
“Sweet William” has lost his heart,
a liberal reward will be given for the
return of it.
The watermelon men are happy.
Messrs Bob and Dawnio Barwick,
of Cordele nre visiting their old home
Miss Minuic Bnston returned from
Augusta Inst week. She took in tho
encampment and reports a royal time.
Mrs. Fannie Fitzgerald, of Boston
has returned home 'after visiting rela
tives.
Mr. May Dekle Misses Annio Dckle
and Lucy Sills, went over to Cairo
Sunday. Miss Annie remained over
with relatives a few days.
1 Distance lends enchantment
le.ist in respect to somo candidates
we know. We guess they are happy
now, ns they can run around to every
picnic and 'alliance meeting, tell the
parents how pretty aud swret their
little owns are, make a stump speech
and come down thinking “What a
big man I am.” Well, ’tis a blessed
thing we have a big opinion of our-
solves.
Mrs. G. M. McMillan, Mrs. Julia
Bullock, of Cordclo and Mrs. Emma
Johnson, of Macon, arrived Monday

SntSCRIBKR
The Georgia watermelon failed to
reach a good ma iy northern towns in
time to affect their - census returns.
Where is the in. tn who predicted
that the present wou Id be a cool sum
mer? Stand back, e verybody, and let
us at him. Come on, you vi'lian,
come on.
Let every demoers it in Thomas
county remember the in -ass meeting of
the party at the court house on the
12th inst- It is an impc rtant meeting
and should be largely att< aided.
This is a free coun try. F.very
sweltering patriot, has a rigtht to go in
the melee, and have his fi: n with the
balance of the boys. Soir. e of them
ought to be “tagged" before? going in;
otherwise tloey will not be .recognized
when, they emerge trom the fracas.
Sev“ea perspiring statesmen have
tied their galluses around them and
are contesting, each with the other, for
gislative honors in Fulton county.
Some of these sweltering, sweating
statesmen will have time to cool off—
at home—after the election is over.
