In the language of a distinguished com mander, “Don’t give up.fhc ship ?” Our military companys and politics arc funuing the “can’t-get-away’’ with some amusemeut to compensate the tantalizing dreams of cool retreats and northern lights on sandy beaches, It is probable that the Seventh Gu. Battalion will go into an encampment in Thnmasvillc next fall. Would it not be a good idea for the Stock Breeders Association to get up their annual fair during that time. The military fea tures would add much to the occasion. A big prize tournament could be easily gotten up, and altogether it could not fail to attrnct n large crowd and be a splendid success.

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 people to run a town, su-ecerYdlly anyhow. They can’t well bo dispu rsed with. The cariiagc used by Mr. Hancock in carrying off his children has return ed. The party hoarded the train beyond lfainbridgc, and by this time have arrived safely at Hancock’s home in Shreveport, La.

News is scarce. Yesterday wns a sort of holiday with farmers. Inc heavy rains of Monday prevented their working to any ndvnntage on their fa-ms, and ns a consequence, they brought many loads of melons to town. One by one dai'y, and often sever al of our citizens arc seeking cither the nmuutnin air or ocean breezes. They will return before tho "leaves begin to fall,” much better equipped mentally aud physically for the usunl avocation. Wo condole with those, who can’t do likewise. Pear Quotations.

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 ten about and discussed .1 great deal; but like too many of our other enter prises it has ended ; n talk. landfoiTnegroes.

By pro curing certificate of attendance from the secretary of the society, mombers will be passed back free. Free rides and half fare makes a mighty big dif ference with fruit growers, ns it does with the balance, of mankind.
