He was here to attend the performance at the opera house last night. The recent heavy and continuous rains have injured fodder badly.

Tbe depot and surrounding present a busy scene in the late afternoon. Three passenger trains roll in and dis charge their living freight within thirty minutes of each other. Mr. Lamb thinks he will finish filling in the yard nttbo depot for new tracks, within two weeks. He has a large force at work; and the steam shovel is a great help. We call special attention to Mrs. Jennie Carroll’s advertisement. She is carrying a splendid line of fashion able millinery at her popular stand on lower Broad street. Read ^er new advertisement elsewhere, fho ladies at least will bo i ntcrestcd id it. Mr. S. T. Klngsberry, the Attor ney of the Plant System, Hurt in a Railroad Accident. What might. haTe been a serious nc output, occurred yesterday morning on the accotniriodaiion, as it was des cending the long grade between Oeh- lockonee and the river. The train broke loose ti.boyt the middle, and the engineer, unconscious of the detach ment of the rear portion of his train, kept spinning nlong at a pretty lively rate, gaining fora short time on the de tached portion of the train.- How* ever, the momentum of the rear por tion of the trniD, uncontrolled by the engine, soon began to tell, and the cars running wild were soon turning their wheels, at a dangerous speed. Soon it overtook the front detachment, smashing in the ends of the two col liding freight cars. This shook up everybody bndly in the passenger conch, but no one was hurt Mr. S. T. Kiugsberry.'the assistant counsel of the Plant System, who happened to be in tbe haggugc car, did not fare so well. He was ; tlirnwn violentlyagaiust a trunk, fracturing—it is thought— bis shoulder.

Cicero is courting up in North Georgia just now, and Lee is a forlorn beocdict, but you will find the latter, and clever Will Taylor, on hand, ready to show you through. Sec new ad. A Remarkable Record. The census returns show that there were only dix deaths in the Duncan ville district, lor the year ending May .11 nt. We doubt if there is another district in the county or state, which can make such a healthy showing. And there is not n doctor in the dis trict, remarked our informant. This then, perhaps, is the explanation of the remarkably low mortuary record of that district. Miss Annie Smith left yesterday morning to visit relatives in Culloden, Ga. She will be absent several weeks. Just before the hiur for the Hus sars to present their Sponsor and Maids of Honor, with their epaulettes, yesterday afternoon, a slight shower fell. This put a temporary damper on the proceedings. ContractorGribbcn has the contract for the enlargement nnd improvement oi Mr. J. L Hand’s storehouse at Pel ham.

Miss Chipdla Wiggins entertained quite a number of her young friends on Wednesday evening with a party. Different games, etc., such as the young people enjoy so much, were in dulged in to ii late hour. Choice re freshments were served during the evening. Evety one present express ed themselves ns hnving enjoyed the evening very much. A Brilliant Pageant. The Hussars formed yesterday af-. ternoon, at 4:45, on Madison St. .And marched to the residence of Dr. J. G. Hopkins on Dawson, where theformnl ceremony of presenting the company to the Sponsor and Maids of ' Honor took place. The street was filled with carriages, containing ladies and gen tlemen, who gathered to witness tho occasion. With nodding plumes aud drawn sabres, the Guards drew up and fronted tho house. Capt. Mac- lean made an eloquerit speech, in which he eulogized womatr, ranking her with God’s best creation. His tribute to Southern woman, in war and ponce, was very fine. At tho con clusion of the speech the young ladies mounted their horses and marched with the company down to tho inter section of Jackson and Dawson; where the artist, Mr. Molier. took a picture of tho mounted group. The young ladies who now bear tho relation of Sponsor and Maids of Hon or to the company are, Miss Honorine Mitchell, Sponsor, and Misses Emma McIntosh, Minnie Evans and Rosa Neel, Maids of Honor. The young ladies wore tight fitting jackets trimmed with yellow, nnd or namented with rows oi military but- toms. They presented n handsome appearance and sat their horses firmly and gracefully, Tho Hussars have a right to bo proud of their sponsor nnd maids of honor; and we arc quite sure that the young ladies will always be proud of the gallant company of gentlemen constituting the Hussars. Fred Justice, who is well known to the grocery trade of tho town, having been connected with several grocery houses for a number of years, is now with the Red Front Grocery. Mr. C'fnyt Dickinson, who has been taking a special course in the Phila delphia School of Pharmacy this sum mer, perfecting himself in the higher branches of the business, is expected home in the early part of next week. His friends will be glad to see him in Thomasville again. A dispatch from Fort Valley where the State Horticultural conven tion is in session, says that H. H. Sanford it Co., have twenty, eight va rieties of pears on exhibition. Mr. Sanford is at the convention. He is one of the practical and successful fruit men of Georgia. Every town in Georgia claims tho prettiest girl in the State, and calls J. M. High A Co’s, attention to the fact. That offer of a $1,000, for tho prettiest girl in Georgia to represent Lnila Rookh, has stirred up the edi tors. Thomasville put her claim in promptly, nnd insists that tbe iden tical girl is right here. There were some very handsome views on exhibition yesterday at Reid and Culpepper’s, taken by the artist, Mr. Molier. They are designed to appear in the illustrated folder, fifty thousand of which will be distributed- this season, descriptive of Thomasville and vicinity. These views were taken of scenery in and around “Glen Ar- ven.” Among others is a fine view of the rustic arch and entrance, to the park ; also of a herd of deer. These latter aro very fine. Bainbridgc is going to have a cot ton press. It will be at work in a few days. And this, according to the Democrat is going to be the result: We have positive assurances of at least three, and probably half a dozen, regular export cotton buyers (Turing tho approaching cotton season who will buy for exportation direct to European ports. This is certain, and Bainbridgc will be the best cottoQ market in all Southern Georgia this winter. Respectfully submitted to the care ful and prayerful consideration of the merchants of Thomasville. “Who wrote the Psalms f" asked the superintendent severely. And then a little girl in the intant class began to cry. "It wasn’t mo, sir,” sho said. Another. Grimes has had to walk the log. Ho went down with a dull thud, be fore the sub-tieasury plan, at La- Grange on Wednesday. A. Moses will go to congress from the 4th dis trict! It remains to be seen whether this modern Moses is better able to lead his people out of the wilderness, than was the gallant Grimes. The congressional mortality list is growing in Georgia. Crisp hasrft been ailing; Turner recovered yester* day from a sovere attack; Lester isn’t very ill; Blount is slowly convalesc ing, though not out of danger, while Barnes is critically ill. Stewart and Clements are no more; the places which know them in Washington, will perhaps, know them no more. Such is (political) life. A Fast Age- An old railroader says: It used to be that they couldn’t turn n wheel any too fast for me, but it’s different now. The way these fellows run now adays makes my hair stand on end. We used to think that twenty-five or thirty miles an hour was high running. People were just as well satisfied, if not more so than now, and there were not so many accidents. Those days when a man got on the ground there was some chance of his getting away alive, but when you touch ground- on one of these fast runs now you’re mighty liable to stay there. People are getting to look upon n mile n min ute as n common thing, and are just howling mad at a road that doesn’t make it. All they think about is get ting to their destination. Kicks Out of the Democratic Party. Montgomery, Ala., July 30.— News has been received here that General Joe Wheeler, of-the eighth dis trict, is to have opposition. The Moulton Advertiser, published in Wheeler’s district, to day contains the announcement of A. C. Ashford as the alliance candidate. He will not sub mit his claims to the democratic con vention. General Wheeler, it is under stood, will be renominated without op position. The Alliance, heretofore, has been working inside the democrat ic party in this state, and well-informed politicians do not believe any consider able number will vote against the reg ular nominees of the party in any oi the disiricts. They Wired Him. The following dispatch was sent to Capt. Turner immediately after the Albany convention adjourned, by the committee on ratification: Albany, Ga., July 31, 1890. Hon. H. G. Turner, Washington. You arc the nominee by acclama tion of the democracy of this district, nnd we will elect you. O. B. Stevens, Cb’m, Ben E. Russell, K. T. Maclean, W. W. Davis, R. Hobbs. The democrats of the second district are in the habit of electing their man. The “boycott” continues to be a prolific theme of discussion. The firm attitude of the south has set the big northern manufactories, jobbers and wholesale dealers at the north to think ing—and acting. Thousands of peti tions are pouring into the Senate, pro testing against the passage of the force bill. The agitation will go on, and the result may be, that the bill will be de feated, though this is hardly probable. SIGNAL SERVICE BUREAU —AT— R. Tktmu Iff lit Broil Sired.
