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. SKIRTS, GOWNS, CHEMISES Etc.

An Uptown Office. It is understood that fbe probabili ties arc very good for the establish ment of an uptown passenger and tick et office next winter. The number of 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 Thomnsville and the west, and in or der to do tiffs, it will be necerary to supply the traveling public with all the conveniences known elsewhere.

The Chronicle this morning prints tho splendid letter of Congressman Turner upon the sub-treasury bill. It measures up to the best efforts of this prominent Gcorgiau. It is a sincere and succinct statement of the reason why the b"l will never become a law and why it could not work any practicnl benefit if it were enacted. Congressman Turner is one of the strongest men the Sou''i has iu Con gress. H ! s voice has Iren potent for Democraticdociiue and good govern ment and lffs place on the lloor of the Houn cop'd not hi fled. If the Second G.-orgia d sirict a'lows Mr, Turner to be displaced because of his opposition to the s ih t-ensury Iff 1 ', the people would lose more by the retire meut of tb : s one man than they would gj : u by a 1 ' the warchout s the government could biff'd in their bor dors.

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.

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. A Sensation.
