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. Mrs- Bogus Dead.

This estima ble lady had been ill with consump tion for nearly four years, aud for the past two years, though everything that could he was done to ward oil the dread consumption, she Imd been slowly declining. She was taken to the sea coast and Florida- and though certain gaincs were made by these changes of climate, no permanency resulted. She was brought home about two months since aud lias re ceived the best of care from physi cians and the constant watchiug and attention from her loviug husband.” The Indy’s southern friends ii ThomnsviUc wdl he pniued to hear of her death, Hon.

Albert Rilf.y, ),, .. E. L.Brown, j Com 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.

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. Pear Quotations.
