AVc trust her stay in our little city will be a very pleasant one. Mr. Frank Winn, who has been making a protracted visit out West, has returned. Frank says it is a fine country in summer, but he does not think much of it as a winter home, The word “pureless,” was, by mis take, used yesterday morning, in ar ticle on the “Alliance and Politics,” instead of “peerless.” The intelligent reader no doubt substituted the proper word. Mr. E. D. Beggs, a prominent young lawyer of Kissimmee, Fla., is in the city, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Redden Smith,at Pine Summit. Mr. Beggs at one time was a student in the South Georgia College, and he has mauy friends here who are pleased to see him again. We arc pleased to learn that Prof. Lovejoy, late president of the South Georgia College, has been elected Superintendent of Public Instruction at Aberdeen, Miss., at a good salary. The best wishes of their mauy Thom- osvillo friends will accompany the Professor and his family to their new home. 1 Yesterday was a iielu day at Bold Spring. There must have bc'n easily a thousand people present, and if a better humored or better entertaiued crowd ever assembled i.i Thomas county, we would like to hnvc the time and the occasion named. Early yesterday morning vehicle, after vehicle might have been seen ieqving town on the Jones bridge road, and it would have been a safe wager to lay odds that the occupants thereof, were hound for Bold Spring. The reporter aud his partner were an insignificant part of the procession named, and in good time the end of t lie journey was reached As soon as the grottud was reached the number of vehicles that stood about in the grove that surrounds the church, gave some judication of the immense crowd that was present. The order of the day was opened by Hon. Henry G. Turner, who mounted the stage and faced the waiting crowd a little after 10 o’clock, Mr. Turner was at his best, and made one of the greatest speeches of his life. He outlined the election biU now pending before congress, dwelt at some length on the evils that come to the country from the unjust tariff laws, and defended the democratic congressmen from the charge that they had done nothing. He traced the panic of 1873 to the linaneiai policy of the republican par ty, and said that at the first elec tion held thereafter, a democratic ma jority was returned to the House. He showed that the democrats had never had control of both branches of con gress and the presidency at the same time, but they had done ail they could to relieve the contraction of the currency. lie did not think the sub- treasury bill was what the people wanted. If the Pickier hill passed the House it would he unconstitutional, because the organic law said that all officers under government must be nj. pointed. The 1‘ickler bill provides that the managers of the warehouses should he lie elected by the people where they are located. If the Vance bill passed, it would fasten an army of republican office holders on the south. More than this, he believed that the sub treasury hills not being redeemable, would sink to the level of the greenback during and after the war, and that if the biU was passed, the money kings on both sides of the ocean would throw their enormous holdings of national, state, municipal and rnilaoad bonds on the market, and that a panic would fol low. Panics were started by the men in Wall street and on Change in Lon don, hut the farmers of the country had to dig relief out of the ground. He held that ths free coinage of sil- vei and for which the democrats in congress had made such a gallant fight, a refusal to renew the charters of the National hanks and the repeal of the tax of 10 per cent on the circula tion of hanks other than national, would give the country plenty of money ou which to do its business. He strongly favored the revival of the state hanking system and held that their bills would be as safe as any. The speech was well received and threw much needed light on the finan cial system of the country. Then come dinner. It was just such an one as the good people of the 17th district knew how to provide. If we know any stronger praise we would use it. After dinner Col. R. G. Mitchell made one of his most taking speeches. He touched in a short way the great national questions, and then coming down to state issues, said that he was in thorough accord with the alliance in all things, where their principles were involved. He was not prepared to endorse the sub-treasury bill, hut realized that the country needed more money. He said lie was born on a farm, raised on a farm, and nil hi3 interests and sympathies were with the farmers. Prof. A. Q Moody followed with a plain practical talk. He said that the issue in Thomas county was be tween Tliomasvillc and the politicians and the people. He said that the county had had one representative Capt. N. R. Spongier, Bince 1883. That Hon. Robert Alexander lived in the town district, and was to all intents, and purposes a town man. 1 Hon. J. M, Parker made the best political speech, the reporter has ever heard. It was plain, business like and witty. He 3aid that he had been called into the field by the whole people, and if elected ho would prom ise to work six days out of the week and to do nothing of which the coun ty would be ashamed. The reporter said on a previous occasion that Mr. Parker was a non talker. He retracts with proper speed. , ■ Hon. A. AY. Ivey followed Mr. Parker, in a breef talk, in which h said that he would use bis best efforts to promote the interests of the men that bold the plow. Mr. A. It. Jones and H011. A. T. McIntyre, Jr,, made short talks. Mr. McIntyre made a strong plea for unity and peace. Then the immense crowd wended their way homewards, as did the re porter, well pleased with all they bad seen and heard. Itcv. A. C. Stevenson was in town yesterday. AVc are pleased to see Mr. Dave Elms back from the East. On Their Feet Again. It will he remembered that we pre dieted the day after the big fire in Brunswick, and which burned out Messrs. Glauber and Isaac, that the firm would he on its legs next day notwithstanding their big loss. We take the liberty of inserting the follow ing extract from a private letter received by the writer yesterday from Mr. Isaac: “I note your kind remarks and ex pressions ot sympathy in regards to our misfortune, and I assure you that both are highly appreciated. It is indeed gratifying in times like these to know that one has triends. While our loss is a very severe one, still we are partially insured. AVc will come out on the top again. AA’c are yet afloat. I assure you that your prediction in regards to doing a rat tling business was right. I enclose you a circular letter which we sent out to everyone of our customers the morning alter the fire.” Reports from Colquitt county rep resent it as solid for Turner. To morrow the weary will linve a duy for resj. May each and all enjoy the calm, quiet and restful sabbath. God intended that mnn should rest one day in seven. Flattering reports about the corn crop reach us lrom all parts of the county. 'Now if oiw farmers have not neglected the hog crop, they are solid. The LeConte Pear. AVith the growing magnitude and importance of the LeConto pear crop, it is growing more important every season, that there should be some in tclligent distribution of the crop. Growers of this crop should organize and see that each year’s crop is mar keted and to the best advantage. If the late melon exchange did nothing else, it demonstrated the advantage of having some head to direct the ship ments so as not to glut any one mar ket. Prices for pears have suffered in many instances, for the reason that too many were sent to one market at one time. This can he avoided, nnd should he. Policeman Brawn lms been con fined to his homo fur some time. His partner, Mr. Gordon misses him—and so does every one else. AA’e hope to see him out soon. I11 discussing polities remember that the “other mot” is os much enti tled to his opinion, as you are to yours. This course will simplify the matter very much. AA’e understand that arc electric lights will he erected, and the work on the depot yards and tracks prose 1 euted at night. It will he cooler for the hands, and then no switching trains will interfere, with the work. It is a healthy and hopeful sign of the future, when the town is full of buyers who come here to buy melons, pears and other products directly from tlie growers. Growers know what tlioy are doing now. Thomnsvillc summer tourists are having a delightful time at the sum mer resorts, while their less fortunate frieuds—the Can’t-Gat-Aways, are clothed in light raiment, using palm leaf fans, and hugging the shady side of the streets, with the thermometer dauciug away up in tho nineties. This, at one time, was a dull season in Thoraasville. Tho watermelon, Le Conte pear and other similar in dustries havo changed things. Everything about tho depot shows business and un activity which speaks volumes for tho future of Thomas county. Judge Guerry iu a speech deliver ed in Dawsou, on Thursday, said he did not appear in the nttitude of a candidate, but said he would acecpt nomination for congress if tendered him by the democratic party. It is not likely, judging from this language that he will make any canvas. Cut off From New York. Yesterdny the country was cut off from New York. None of the many AVcstcrn Union telegraph lines cen tering in that great metropolis, were working. It was reported that the main office of the AA r estem Union in that city was destroyed by fire. Exchance of Pulpits. Rev. Geo. A\ r . Mathews, of AVny- cross, On., and Rev. Mr. McDoncll of this place, agreed to exchange pul pits to-morrow.

They will he well cared for by the hospitable people of that thriivng little tewn. Mr. AVhite is an able minister, one of the ablest in this section. TOCLOSE AT ONCE.
