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.

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. A Card. Cairo, Ga., Aug. 29,1890.
