The Bank of Thomasville.
The semi annual statement of the
Bank of Thomasville, appears tlr’s

The showing made -s a very flatter
ing one to the management of tlic
bank, and cannot fail to he gratifying
to the stockholders.

in a row in which a policeman was
shot, and a negro almost fatally hurt,
nud Brunswick is not at all particu
lar about wanting to be the destina
tion of any more colored excursions.
The Mass Meeting To-morrow
The democracy of Thomas county
will assemble at the court house to
morrow, in mass meeting. As has
been the custom, for years, in all
cases where there is a contest, a pri
mary election will he ordered to set
tle the matter. The people, long
since, grew tired of cut and dried
conventions, at which only a com
paratively small per centage of the
party were present. There is one set
of delegates, those to the gubernato
rial convention—which might prop
erly be elected by the mass meeting.
There is no opposition to Mr. North-
en, and even if there was, the county
is practically solid for him. And we
have heard of no objections to any of
of the state house officers. These
will probably be endorsed.
It looks as if, for the first time in
several years, there will he a contest
over delegates to the congressional
convention. This question, together
with that of the senatorsbip, and rep
resentatives in*tiic house, will be set
tled by the bouafide democratic voters
of the county by a primary’, at such
time as the meeting may sec proper
to fix.
Above all, gentlemen, let us have
harmony. \Ve are on the verge of
radical legislation in congress; legis
lation which threatens tho south with
another era of reconstruction. The
democrats of the South must remain
united.

Striking a Key Note.
The Atlanta Journal has struck a
popular chord, in the following on
the next legislature;
“Wo want men thnt will not run
over the state on pleasure or junketing
trips. If they come here tor such
purposes they should not accept the
per diem* for the days absent from
their scats. Monopolies and corpora
tions seize such opportunities to rush
through hurtful, or to defeat useful,
laws. The per diem is the wago of a
day’s work, and is not intended as a
gratuity to a limn that is neglecting
his duty.
1 ’Don’t lot us forget the legislature.
The state wants men that will give i*
an honest day s work six days in the
week, men that will stay at their posts
of duty, men thnt will do [their work
as rapidly ns it can be done well, and
men that will be too honest fo accept
wages lor days given up to pleasure,
or mileage when they arc traveling
on tree passes.
“Let 11s have a sound public senti-
meut on these mutters, a sentiment so
strong that none but a bnd man care
less of his reputation would darc)to
violate.”
Col. A. I*. Wright will, in a short
time, tear down the old Bank build
ing on Jackson street which has been
occupied by Mr. Alex II. Jones as a
law office, anil erect a handsome store
house in its stead, Mr. Jones has
moved into an office over Watts store.
The melon shipments nre growing
small by degrees, in more souses than
one, and beautifully less also literally
and metaphorically speaking. Which
is to say that the melons arc small,
and the number of cars shipped much
less than it was two weeks ago.
Tom Reed still rules; and the
country mourns-—-and groans.
