Died.
In this city, ou Sunday afternoon
the 9th inst., Mr. B. G. Rushing, aged
47 years.
This announcement will carry a
pang of pain to the relatives and many
friends of the deceased. Mr. Rushing
wrs horn in Beaufort Dist., South Car
olina. With the flower of the youth
of the Palmetto State, lie volunteered
in lKfil.nnd nobly performed his duty
a- a Confederate soldier during the
war. He was a brave and chivalrous
young soldier, never shirking duty,
and ready at all times to respond to
the call of duty and danger. Two
years after the close of the war, he
married and settled in Georgia. For a
number of years lie resided with his
family in Thoninsvillc. Six years ago
lie moved to Florida .where he has since
resided. A few weeks since, failing
hcnlth induced him to come back to
Tlionmsville, where lie hoped to recu
peratc; but disease had made too
strong inroads on a naturally frail
constitution, for him to rally. Peace
fully, calmly and gently the brittle
thread of life at- last snapped, releas
ing the spirit from the pain-racked
body. His last minutes were cheered
by the loving presence of wife, child
run, brothers and sisters His wife,
who was left behind in Florida, reach
ed here a few days ago, and with a

Laurel Hill cemetery. Or. Sunday
afternoon, the Rev. \V. Williams,
pastor ot the Baptist Church, con

Mr. Arthur l’inson, Sanitary In
spector, makes a good suggestion. It
is this: "It would be much better if
all parties would pile up their trash on
premises instead of heaping it on the
streets to be hauled off.”
Look out for an inspection of your I
premises. Back yards of residences
and stores, waste water, slop bar
rels, stagnant water and cellars should
be put in order. Every citizen should
co-operate with the health authorities
in keeping the town clean and healthy.

parents some good advice; advice
which they should follow.
Camilla will place a city clock iu
the steeple of her new court house.
Thomosvillc ought to have a city
clock. We hope our Baptist friends,
when they build their new church on
the beautiful lot on Broad street,
will put a clock in their steeple. A
seperato subscription should be raised
for the clock.
Heading This Way.
‘Have you nn Augusta papei?
asked a pleasant faced young man,
yesterday morning, as lie stepped into
the editorial rooms of the Ti.mi-x-E.v-
TKltflllSE.
Turning to a pile of exchanges, the
cribe handed the gentleman, who
proved to be Mr. W. S. Killiugs-
wertk, representing a Baltimore house,
a late copy of the Chrouicle. Always
ou the alert for news from Augusta,
touching the progress of the Augusta
and West Florida R. K., the reporto-
rial pencil was gently inserted iu our
visitor.
“Yes, there is a good deal' of talk
about the road, iu Augusta”, said (the
gentleman, in response to nil inquiry
touching the status of the enterprise.
“I saw Mr. J. H. Burcklmltcr, con
tinued Mr. Killingswortb, Inst Tues
day, and upon telling him that 1 was
coming to Thomosville, he asked me
to say to the people here, that lie was
working three hundred hands and one
hundred and fifty mules, and that he
did not intend to stop until lie got to
Thomasville.
Mr. Baity, the president of the
road, nnd other promiucut officials
have notified Col. Wright hy wire,
that they will he here to-day or to
morrow It begius to look as if the
Augusta road was n reality.
Young Female College.
As will be seen by advertisement
elsewhere, the fall term of this tvcll-
kuowu and popular Female College,
Mr. John E. Baker, President, opens
ou the 3rd of September. This insti
tution should be liberally patronized
throughout this scctiou. I n the first
plncc it is a home institution.* .Sec
ondly: It is exceptionally well offi
cered, and the discipline nnd care of
young girls or young ladies, of such a
character as to commend it to parents
and guardians. Thomasville is one of
the healthiest towns iu the state, soci
ety good, and church privileges equal
to any place of similar size iu the
state.
It will be very gratifying to the pa
trons of the institution to learn that
Miss Grieve, of New York, a most ef
ficient member of the faculty during
the last collegiate year, has been in
duced by Mr! Baker to resume her
same place during the next year.
See advertisement of the college. ,
For Tax Receiver.
The voters of the county will not
foil to notice the announcement of
Mr. J. F. McCann.' lie announces
himself ns a candidate for re election
to the office of Tax Receiver of the
county, subject to the action of the
democratic party at the ensuing pri
mary election. Mr. McCann makes
the statement in connection with his
announcement, that he will not be a
candidate two years from now.
Mr. McCann has filled the office
most efficiently and satisfactorily.
No word of complaint lias ever been
made against hint as an officer. Be
lieving that the present term is all he
ought fo ask, lie says that in no event
will he he a candidate next time. He
has another, ami a strong claim on
the people of Thomas county; on one
of the bloody battle fields of the late
war, he left a limb. The people can
not give much of a pension to the
maimed soldiers of the South, but
they can—wiieiever everything is any
thing like equal—give them office.
See announcement.
Cairo’s Alliance Warehouse.
Mr. Wm. Moore come down from
Cairo Sunday, where he and his
brother, Mr. Jack Moore, are erecting
the Al iance warehouse. He says they
will finish the building in about a
couple of days, ard then return here
to put up a store for Mr. Sidney Wil
liams on Jackson street. They have
secured the contract for building the
large Normal school at Tallahassee,
Fla., and will commence that work
after finishing here. Me says Cairo is
on a building bo„m, and the contracts
for two or three more new stores will
be let shortly.
An Incorrigible.
Neal Blackslioar, a little negro jail
bird, who has only been out of the
gang a few days, is in limbo again.
Sunday night he entered Mr. Sidney
Williams’ room and stole his purse,
containing $3.50. Yesterday morn
ing, surrounded by n crowd of gamins
lie was treating, he was arrested by
Policeman Coyle, who run him in on
suspicion. When searched 82.80 was
found on him. Neal does not deny
the charge, and appears to lie willing
to return to chain gang life.
Mayor’s Matinee.
Sam Davis, a colored driver, and
Liza Mitchell, a waitress in a restau
rant, appeared before Judge Hopkins
ycsteiday morning at the mayor’s
matinee. They were up for fighting
and otherwise being disorderly. Owing
to the conflicting testimony of the wit
nesses, Liza was discharged. Davis
acknowledged knocking the girl down,
and was fined $5 and costs. No other
cases were ready fot trial.
A Serious Charge.
Starling Smith, a negro that is well
known about town, was arrested by the
officers Saturday night, charged with
rape. The police have been waiting
for a couple of weeks for the woman
to identify her nssailaut, but only
succeeded Friday night in placing
their man.
He will by held without bail to
await the preliminary trial.
The Monon Route.
We are indebted to Mr. R. W.
Glading for a late copy of the Even
ing Herald, Chicago, containing an
elaborate noticeofthe “Monon Route.”
This is one of the most popular, speed
iest and safest routes to the West. The
Monon Route will pay special atten
tion this tall and winter to the tourist
business. Many ot Thomasvillc’s
guests come this line and they always
compliment it.
Send us one, Please.
A really beneficent invention, an
electric cane, has just been patented.
In the interior of the cane is stored a
large quantity of electricity. Till a
spring iu the hnndlc is pressed the
cane is as harmless as any other cane,
but if this spring is pressed and at the
same moment a person is touched with
the ferule of the cane he will receive a
shock that will stun him for the next
twenty minutes without doing him
any permanent harm. The same ap
paratus is also placed iu the handles
of umbrellas and ladies’ parasols.
With this invention a man can pro
tect himself not. only from assault,
but from casual boies. If a robber
demands your purse as you are walk
ing home at night you simply touch
him with the end of your cane and he
will be stretched on the side walk.
The name of the inventor of this ines
timable weapon is not yet known, but
he is sure to reap the gratitude of
every intelligent man and woman in
the lnnd.
Scud us one, please; we wish to
poke it between the ribs of the ex
change fictul. We’ll lay him out flat
as a flounder.
Georgia ,1s All Right.
Georgia has cut out the work for
all Southern convention. Georgia
farmers have shown wisdom and con
servatism in their action throughout.
They have held the power of a giant,
but have not used it with a giant’s
crushing force ; they have declined to
go outside the party for relief, but
have expressed their belief that all
govern men t abuse can he corrected
by strict reliance upon the integrity
and ability of the Democratic party.
Whatever other states may do,
Georgia is in line without a split or
jar. Her people have shown in state
convention tlmt they do not run after
strange idols nor listen to unsale coun
sel. They are Democrats before they
arc anything else and will rest their
cases upon the broad principles of the
Democratic party.—Augusta Clironi

A Letter Fnm the Ocean.
POHTI.ANU, Orf... Aug. 10 —A boy
rowing a boat in the harbor this morn
ing picked up a ca-efully scaled bottle,
which, upon being opened, contained
the following letter written upon a cart
ridge paper in a distinctly English
hand, and signed John Davis, first
mate: "English bark ship Edmont,
June 23, 1890.—We are sinking very
last. Our latitude and longitude
unknown. No compass, no rudder, no
hope. If this reaches a human hand
please notify Bailey & Co., Hull Eng
land. Wc arc thirteen aboard and all
in starving condition. My mother!
oh, my mother! She lives in Hedge-
son street, Leavitt Terrace, Hull, Eng
land. Good by, it we are not saved.”
We were impressed the other day,
when walking along Albany’s princi
pal thoroughfare, Broad street, with
the smooth, solid and continuous con
crete pavements which stretch away
on either side of that busy street.
And this reminded us that wo have
for Ion g months urged property own
ers to complete the system of concrete
walks on our own beautiful Broad
street.
The Colored Voter.
From llic Tallnhnssccnu.
We have heard sontc ol the better
class of our colored men say lately
that they did net propose to be driven
in republican ranks like cattle any
longer. They intend to join hands
with the whites and teach the party of
promises not to lie to them again.
What helps their white neighbors helps
them, and some of them at least do not
propose to cripple the hands lrom which
come their relief from distress any
longer. Come out like men and work
and vote for the best interests and the
welfare of your country.
