Turner at Boston.
Boston*, Ga., July 11).—[Special.]
Hon. II. G. Turner was introduced
by Prof. A. Q. Moody. Mr. Turner
spoke one hour and forty minutes and
made an unanswerable argument
against the sub treasury scheme as lie
did at Bold Spring, Ga. To day he
made an earnest appeal for unity in
the democratic party. The speech
was well received, and there is not a
sub-treasury man in Boston.
Thomas for Turner.
There is no doubt about Cnpt. Tur
ner carrying the county next Friday.
His two speeches in the county, at
Bold Spring and Boston, opened tho
eyes of many to the fact that the
sub treasury scheme is impractica
ble. Speaking of Turner, the Macon
Telegraph in its issue of yesterday,
says:
On sober second thought the demo
crats of the sccoud Georgia district
seem to have come to the conclusion
that they cannot do better than to
keep Henry G. Turner in congress.
Georgia needs men like Turner at
the front—not Georgia, alone, but
the Democratic party and the whole
country. Mr. Turner’s re-election
would he a most propitious event.

time lie leads, with a field full of

A Message for Mamina in Heaven
From the Detroit Free Press
“Is this the toPgrcph office?*’
Asked a childish voice one day,
As I noticed the click of iny instrument,
With its message from faraway:
As it ceased I turned; at my elbow
Stood the merest scrap of a l»oy,
Whose childish facefwas all aglow
With the light of a hidden Joy.
The golden curls on his forehead
Sliadod eyes of deepest blue,
As if a bit of summer sky
Had lost in them its hue;
They scanned my outilfc rapidly
From ceiling down to floor;
Then turned to me with eager gaze,
As he asked the question o'er:
“Is this the tel’graph office?" h j f
‘•It is ray little man,”
I said: “pray tell me what you want,
And I’ll holp you if I can.”
Then the blue eyes grew more eager,
And the breath came thick and fast,
And I saw within the chubby hands
A folded paper grasped.
“Nurse told me," he said, “that the lightning
Came down on tne wires some day;
And my mamma has gone to hearen,
And I’m lonely since she Is away;
For my papa is very busy
And hasn’t much time for inc,
So I thought I’d write her a letter.
And I’ve brought it for you to see.
“I’ve printed it big so the angels
Could read out quick the name,
Ami carry it straight to my mamma
And tell her how it came;
And now won’t you please to take it,
And throw it up good and strong *)H T
Against tho wires in a funder shower,
And the lightning will take It along.”
Ah! what could I tell the darling?
For my eyes were filling fast;
I turned away to hldo tho tears,
Hut I cheerfully spoke at last:
“ I’ll do the best I [can my child,’’
’Twasall that I could say;
‘Thank you,’ he said, and then scanned the sky;
“Do you think it will funder to-day?’’
lint the blue sky smiled in answer,
And the sun shone dazzling bright, *,
And his face, as he slowly turned away.
Lost some of its gladsome light;
“But nurse,” he said, “if I stay so long.
Won’t let mo come any more:
So good-by, I’ll come and see you again
Right after a funder shower.”
From Over the Sqa.
We are iu fpoelpt of a letter from
‘Uncle” Peter Lindsay, written at
Montrose Scotland, the 7th. The old.
man, among other things, says;
“Give niy respect* to all old friends
find tell them that my health is good.”
Ui.de Peter has not lost his interest
iu Thomas oouuty politics, as the
following sentence will show: “If it
is possible for you to record my vote
for the senate, put it in for Itqvcp.v
G. Mitchell.
How is This ?
We learn from Messrs. Reese &
Eason, who are extensive pear ship
pers, that while ninety cents per bar
rel is chargedfor shipping pears from
Thomasville to New York, only sixty
cents per barrel is charged from Bain-
bridge, Cairo and Boston. It is said
that there is some misconception of
orders, on the part of the agents at
the three points mentioned, and that
somebody will have to make up the
thirty cents. In any event the matter
should be investigated and Thomas
ville put on an equal footing with
other places in the shipment of pears.
The interior of Miss Kate Collins’
millinery store is being knlsomincd
and repainted. When completed, it
will be quite an improvement. Mr.
Lambert is doing tho work.
Let the town be kept in thorough
sanitary condition. This is an im
portant thing. The hoard of health
will no doubt see that the town is
kept clean and healthy.
The Rev. J. R. Battle preached
yesterday at Barnett’s Creek, and will
preach there again to-day. This is his
regular monthly appointment. Bar
nett’s Creek Church (Baptist) is in a
flourishing condition.
The Rev. W. J. Williams, the be
loved pnstor of the Baptist Church,
who lias been in Kentucky for a cou
ple of weeks, lias returned and will fill
his pulpit temorrow. Every one is
glad to see him home again.
We are pleased to learn through
a private letter received n day or two
since in this city, from the Rev. T. E.
Tiller, that his health is entirely re
stored. This will be pleasant news
for his tunny Thomasvillc friends.
To the democratic party of Thomas
county: In order that there may he
no misunderstanding at the primary

the executive committee has instruct
ed me to give notice that noonewillbe

An Echo From the Melon Ex
change.
A telegram has been sout out from
Chicago which says:
A statement was published some weeks
ago that a trust had been formed on
tne Georgia wntcrmclon crop. Mel
ons were shipped to accredited agents
in nil of tho large Northern cities to
bo sold wholcsalo by auction.
The plnn did not suit tho ideas of
the local dealers in this city, and they
quietly formed a counter combina
tion. Accordingly, when the first
Georgia melons were put up for sale
there was only one bid, a wickedly
low one, nnd the melons had to go at
that, then the purchaser divided up
the shipment with his fellow conspi
rators and they charged full prices to
the smnll dealers and the public,
thereby making immense profits.
The plan was adopted elsewhere,
with the infallible result of smashing
the melon trust.
Georgia melons are now on a free
mar kef, with two weeks to run.
With a railroad from here to the
coast, Thomasvillc people could ride
down nud spend a day or two or a
night, ou the sea shore, and return in
vigorated hy tho salt sea breeze.
