startled and frightened by the shock,
and the way the former fell oft the

have caused considerable amusement
at a less serious time. As the pas
senger coach was found to be all
right except considerable damage to
the side, the attention of the men was
colled to the animals. The top of the
car was cut oft, and the animals got
out through tho opening None of

About the Fruit Crop.
Ncarlv all kinds ot fruit have been

was nn entire failure, and as fruit was
ns scarce elsewhere, nine could bo

wasnetter than was at first expected.
Grapes are now on the market. The

are small. Watermelons wero the
only fruit that were plentiful, but
they are now off the market, and cane
has taken its place. The latter crop
is reported very good.

The Right Kind of Talk.
In conversation, with a prominent
young Broad street merchant yester
day in regard to building a cotton fac
tory in Thomasville, he expressed
himself rf9 being in favor of the
soheme, but thinks the establishment
of smaller industries would be of more
interest to the town, and said: “I will
put one thousand dollars in a shoe
factory, one thousand in a.broom fac
tory and tho same amount in a can
ning factory: orJI.will put in onO-
third of the amount necessary to equip
and operate a canning establishment.”
This is the right kind of talk, and
the gentleman referred to means ev
ery word of it. If moro of our young
business men would put their shoul
ders to tho wheel and pull together, it
wotitd not be a great while before old
Thomasville will be forging to the front
riaHFafiae fteSpSbat.^hfttSg
towns of tho State. Thero is no rea
son why this should not- be tlio cose.
All that is needed is concert of action.
Let the business men come together
and all moke a determined effort, and
we have no fears as to the result.

Throwing Dirt.
Mr. Henry McCrary, engineer in
clurge of the road from Tifton to
Thomasville, was in town yesterday.
In reply to a question in reference to
the progress of the work on the road,
Mr. McCrary said:
“We have about seventy-five hands
at work now, and have had lor sever
al days. This force will be increased
to about 250 hands shortly. Some
thing like three miles of right of way,
commencing at Tifton, has been clear
ed, and a considerable amount of
grading done.”
••The company,” continued Mr. Mc
Crary, ‘‘will most assuredly, co npletc
the line to Thomasville within the con
tract time.”
Mr. McCrary is a Thomas county
boy who has developed into a first-
class civi. engineer. He will make
his headquarters 10 Chomasville, after
the road reaches the neighborhood ot
Moultrie. He left last night, to join
his wife in Lake City, Florida.

One of f the, mules iiiihc runaway

Good Farming.
One uf the prettiest nml must valuable
plantations in the county is that of Mr. W.
C. Morrow, just north of the Ocopilco. He
lias about 200 acres of land stumped nnd
uses two-horse sulky plows und other labor-
saving implements. Last season lie nddcdjn
fine reaper and binder to the list. Such
farming pays.—Quitman Press.
The farmers of Thomas county
ought to take the stumps out of their
fields. Judge Hopkins 1ms the agency
for n stump puller which lilts ’em
cverv time. And it does not cost
mucfi. Every neighborhood ought to
join nnd get one or these stump pul
lers. It would work a revolution in
farming. Try it.
The ElectTons Bill.
Washington, Aug. 29.—Mr. Ed
munds offered in the Senate, this morn
ing, a concurrent resolution for a re
cess of Congress from September 19,
to November 10, with the view to hav-
ing Congress in a continuous session
from November to to March 4, to con
sider the Elections bill without the
necessity ot calling a special session.
A Needed Reform.
The approaching legislature ought to de
vise some plan by which taxpayers ean be
made to give in their property nt reasonable
rates. Taken as x whole, wc doubt if the
property is given m at more than half its
value. Thiscuglitto be remedied.—Macon
County Citizen.
A law should be passed providing
for boards ot assessment in each

Cape May, N. J., Aug. 29.—Toe
