The News of the Day Told in What a Commission Man Says.
Brief—Personals, Etc. —
A letter from Olivit Bros, the well
known commission merchants, of
New York, says that the pears that
have arrived so far are green, and
poor, and the most ol them are wind
falls To ship green fruit will have
n bad effect on the market. Parties
cannot take too much paiuswith their

that a poor article will never bring
as much on the market as a good
article, select your fruit, pack careful

Thomasville's Needs.
We need more railroads. This is a
preacher and gopher case, and is
abcut'to he realized. We must have
the roads.
Wc need ten thousand inhabitants.
As Rev. Moses Smith would say, we
have a,natural' emigration society
that is building up our towft and
county pretty rapidly. j§ g; ’
We need a cotton compress, nnd re
spectfully refer this need to our mer
chants.
Wc need a cotton factory and a
canning establishment to dispose of
our surplus iruil. These needs wo
turn over to our capitalists.
Wc need less croaking, aud more
shoulders to tho wheel of progress.
Wo refer this need to all of our fellow
citizens.
The fact is, we’ve got one of the
best places in the world oa wbioli to
build a town, and one of tho best
towns of its inches in .his "land of
the free and home of the brave.”
But one of the largest rooms in tho
world is, the room tor improvement.
There is a pretty large crowd in
this room right here in this Atlanta
of Southwest Georgia.
The pessimist and croaker are not
the men who build up a (own. The
best way to kill a town is to ciy it
down and grumble at every act of oth
ers that does not meet with y our ap
proval, though rea M y beneficial.’.
How much more business like a
town looks when there are mure folks
on the streets than usual., It fakes

Another New Railroad.
Albany is looking out for herself.
Site is fast becoming a railroad centre.
An exchange says :
It is stated upon good authority
that the building of the Cordele and
Albany railroad ts an assured facf, and
that work upon the road will begin at
an early day. Negotiations looking
to tlie building of this line have been
pending for some time, the Macon
News says, but not until recently have
final steps been taken toward an eadv
beginning ol the work. However,
this has been clone, and the road will
be built. The distance between Cor
dele and Albany is thirty-five miles,
and the proposed new road will open
up a magnificent agricultural and tim
bered country nearly the whole way.
Besides, it shortens the distance several
miles between Macon and Albany and
5 ives the latter city auew and indepen-
entjoutlet to the north and east via the
Savannah, Americus and Montgomery
and Georgia Southern and Florida
roads. An engineering corps is now
f0 the field engaged in the work of
locating the line, and when this is done
work will probably begin.
There is a pretty opening through
a splendid section of country lor a
road fr om Thomasv.Bc to Cordele.
This road has been ta'ked about, writ
