Wo shall watch with much interest the developments of this lntcst railroad deal. The Bank of Thomasville. The semi annual statement of the Bank of Thomasville, appears tlr’s morning.

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. John H.

He left yesterday via his line for Montgomery, where he has his headquarters. He is a pleas ant gentleman, besides being a good railroad man, and feels very kindly towards Thomasville. 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. Mr. Geo. N. Lester, of Marietta, is opposing Col. Clifford Anderson for Att’y Gen’l.of the state. Tho present incumbent is likely to he retained. to close AT ONCE. One Lot 40 inch White Lawn at 10c.
