Meeting of Pear Growers
A very important meeting will he
held in Judge Mitchell’s office this
morning.
Thu pear growers and shippers
and around Thomasvillc will meet
consultation. They are not satisfied
■vith the prices the fruit is bringing in
New York, and they propose to put
themselves on record, in protest
against tho low prices they nre get
ting.
Last summor, when the supply of
all the other varieties of fruit was un
precedented, tho price was folly ns
good as it is this year, when all other
fruit crops except our LeConte’s, were
total failures.
It is an unfortunate condition at
tending the shipping of pears, that
the rates and connections arc so much
better to New York, than to other
places, that the bulk of'the crop goes
there. If all the other eastern cities
were as easy of access, tho crop would
have a wider distribution and better
prices would be the result. But we
aro called on to meet n condition and
not a theory.—the connections aro
better to New York, mostot the pears
go there, and tho prices are too low.
It it were possible to induce the ship
pers to act in accord, the crop would
have a wider distribution, and it
would be possible to control prices, in
a measure at least.
Tho best wishes of the Times-En
terprise are with the growers in
their efforts to obtain better prices for
their pears. The conditions for high
prices will never be rs favorable again.
Let every pear grower attend the
meeting this morning in Judge Mitch
ell’s office.

An Uptown Office.
It is understood that fbe probabili
ties arc very good for the establish
ment of an uptown passenger and tick

tourists that come and go each season
from our town, has made such nn of
fice a necessity, nlmost, and they will,
above all others, appreciate such a
convenience. The Alnbnmn Midland
will make strenuous efforts to control
the hulk of the travel to and from

supply the traveling public with all

Mr. Turner’s Letter.
The Chronicle this morning prints
tho splendid letter of Congressman
Turner upon the sub-treasury bill.
It measures up to the best efforts of

reason why the b"l will never become
a law and why it could not work any
practicnl benefit if it were enacted.

The Men Who Stay.
Employcis watch tho movements of
young men very closely, and tho least
little thing oftentimes places them in
nn unfavorable light before their
employers. It is the young ninn
who studies the interest of his employ
cr, and <s not afraid to give him a few
moments, that gets the rapid advance
ment. JHc is the young man selected
when there are any favors to be
granted.
I can tell in twenty minutes in any
workshop the young man who : s most
likely to succeed in his work, and is
always prompt in beginning it. These
fellows that drop their work at tho
moment the whistle blows, are always
the ones 'hat the employer is ; eady to
discharge when business gets a little
slack.
The young man who takes the in-
tcrest of his work at heart, and lffs
employcr’into consideration, is very
rnrelv laid iu slack times.

A Success.
Some timo ago Mr. F. N. Lohu-
stcin inaugurated a new departure
in our city, by placing on sale ladies
muslin underwear. To a question
from a Times-Enterprise reporter
yesterday he answered that the result
had more thnn realized his expecta
tions. He is now offering a splendid
article ot all wool challies at 1G cents
per yard, reduced from 20.
Another Improvement.
Mr. F, N. Lohnstoin has moved liis
clothing departmenr from the second
floor to the first. To accommodate
the change, he has fitted up a center
counter which is a great improvement,
lie will most likely fit up thn second
floor as a first-class tailoring establish
ment next winter, with a full line of
piece goods, and expert workmen.
This will be a great convenience to
our peoplo. Mr. Lohnstein is deter
mined to keep up with tho demands
of Thomasville’s trade.
