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 wife’s devotion tenderly ministered to the dying husband's wants. He leaves two orphaned children to mourn the loss ol a father. Tim remains were laid to *rest in Laurel Hill cemetery. Or. Sunday afternoon, the Rev. \V. Williams, pastor ot the Baptist Church, con ducted the funeral services. 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. The Rev. S. S. Broadnax, pastor of the A, B.

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 cle. - AND A— Glean Sweep -AT THAT— Will be inaugurat ed at’ Levy’s!

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. -— - T o-Day’s Arrivals. Fresh Lemon amt Vanilla Wafers. Armour's Canned Meats, Wilson's Wafers.
