A Tribute to Young Carroll.
Mr. Joshua Carroll, father of the
late J.ttcius Carroll, is in receipt of
the following tribute to the young
man whose death recently occurred:
Orlando, Fla., )
July 20, 1890. f
Mr. J. Carroll:
Dear Sik.—I wish to write you
and offer you my Christian sym
pathy, in the death of your son,
my friend Lucius. I only knew
him to love him. If it were not that
I believed that there was a city whoso
building is not made with hands, I
should be at a loss to know what to
say to you, but knowing full well that
the denr boy had given his heart to
the blessed Master, and remembering
his blessed words that no man should
pluck them out of his hnnds, then I
know that we shall nil sec him, not to
be sepernted any more.
Oh! blessed thought to the child of
God. I know it. is useless to toll you
where to go in this sad bereavement.
But I will say go to Him who never
turns away his children, and remem
ber that lie said, “What I do thou
knowest not now. hut thou shall know
hereafter.” Yours, Ac.,
S. E. Ives.
Phosphate in Thomas.
While Florida has been blowing
about her phosphate beds, Thomas
county has not said anything but she
ha- been sawing wood all the same.
Some Atlanta capitalists, organized
under the name of the “Georgia Min
ing and PhosphateCo,”have purchased
a tract of land, three miles from Boston,
on the road to ThomasviPc, and ate
developing what seenn to be a rich
pluspliatc deposit. Som-: lour hun
dred pounds ot the,rock was recently
ssnt to Atlan’a and analyzed, and the
result was so satisfactory that the com
pany will ship a car load, Ihi ty tons,
on Monday, to Atlanta, to make a
more elaborate test. If ii proves sat
isfactory, and it is likely to do so, the
properly will be developed for all it is
worth. This enterprise, if carried out,
will add largely to the wealth and pros
perity of me county. We hope that
the brightest ant cipations ol the gen
tlemen who hnyo taken hold of this
enterprise may be more than realized.
A Card.
1 have been frequently asked if it
were true, that I am going to sell my

trons that it is wholly a mistake I

ern and northern New York, whore I

son and in tho Adirondack:), attending
the Tenohers Nationnl .Summer
School at Glen’s Falls a part of tho

Echoes From Friday Night,
The performance netted quite a
handsome sum.
The Boston troup made mar.y
friends.
The sponsor and maids of honor, in
their natty uniforms, looked charming
in the private boxes.
The town turned out well.
Mr. High, of Atlanta, could have
seen that $1,000 girl on the occasion.
She was there.
When George Tolboy disappeared
in the well, a boy, who is up on the
latest, said : “Down went McGmty to
the bottom of the—well.”
Pete Lone received numerous con
gratulations. The query now is: who
will wear the ring ?
Boston was well represented.
It was a large and brilliant audience,
considering it is midsummer.
Jim Halt’s speech was the talk of
the street yesterday.
The gallery gods were on their good
behavior.
The rendition of a number of pieces
on the piano, by Miss Lady Stegall,
was one of the features of the evening.
The young lady has a delicate and ar
tistic touch, the ivory keys responding
in perfect time to her fingers,
Mr. D. M. Horn is a good average
journeyman snorer. Several wives re
marked that it reminded them of their
husbands.
The costumes worn were handsome
and appropriate.
Everyone was pleased with the per
formance.
“Ghatley Smith or Pete Bone will
get the ring,” was frequently heard,
before the contest commenced.
The Hussars worked hard to make
the affair a success; and they succeed
ed.
The Guards’drill ivas a pleasing and

We trust that every member ol the
Boston Drama.ic Corps carried pleas
ant recollections’ of their brief stay in
Thoinasville back home with them.

Dr. TIB. Whatley:
Dear Silt:—Mr. Hickman has scut
ntc your letter of tho 14th to answer.
We arc in correspondence with Col.
Xorthcn, of this state, for several
monthsnbout bagging. Ho family
referred us to the Alliance Exchange
of Atlanta. In the meantime cotton
advanced to 11A cents, and wo could
not afford to make the bugging at
prices wc could have made it for when
cotton was 10 cents; so it all resulted
in nothing, and wc did not prepare to
make the bagging, and have not made
any. Wc can furnish a 38-lb. duck
at 12 cents cash. It weighs 1/ yards
to pound; like that we sold last year.
Yours respectfully,
\Y. Q. Stutnv,' lYesidcut.
The .Sibley Mills furnished a largo
amount of cotton bagging last year.
Farmers contemplating the use of cot
ton bagging, should ho on the lookout
'or it.

do upon the subject; notwithstanding

thought, feel pretty certain that it
will not pass the senate, 'and conse
quently will 1)0 returned to the people
