Editor Timks-Enterprisb: I would like to know what has be come of the “Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animnls.” There is a crying necessity for it, here, in Thom asville. The number of poor old half dead horses, mules and oxen, which are handled and driven so brutally on our streets every day need the watchful care of some protecting hand. Ir. the name of mercy, let the society re-erganize. Nobody wants to appear malicious by reporting in- divi luals who violate the law, and if the society will re-organize and do its duty, it has a great work. In the meantimo, let every one who discovers anyone treating one of these poor dumb brutes cruelly, report the mat ter to Solicitor T. N. Hopkins, (and I believo he is also the attorney for the society,) and full justice will be meted out to the offenders. Do your duty.in this matter. Humanity. To Builders and Contractors. Special attention is called to the advertisement of Messrs. Beverly & Burch. These gentlemen are exten sive dealers in all kinds of lumber.

See them before placing your orders for lumber.

Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 1.—The cotton receipts of Montgomery for the year ending yesterday arc 145 045 bales, the largest receipts in the histo ry of the city.

Ry., was held up and robbed at Pensacola trestle, forty miles from Pensacola, at ten o’clock Monday night, by a single robber who stopped the train on the trestle, and at the point of his pistol compelled the engineer to go back the express car, and break open the safo with an ax. The messenger showed no resistance and the robber cooly ordered the engineer to place the valuables in a coffee sack. The rob ber escaped. None of the passengers were molested. Of course Rube Burrows will be given tho credit of tho work, but it is not known who tho the man was. Arkansas at the Polls.

Berlin, Aug. 31.—Perhaps the persecution of tho Jews in Russia and Poland, under the anti-Semitic edicts of the czar, may cause the first long and practical step to be taken toward that hope so dear to every Jewish heart throughout the world—that Pa lestine may be recolonizcd and inha bited exclusively by tho children of Isrcal. Funds have been started several of tho grent cities of tho conti nent to aid the poorer Jews of Russia and Poland to carry out this plan, and hundreds of families of Russian Jews are arranging to emigrate to escape persecution.

Its provisions have been agreed on, and nothing remains to be done but the labor of drafting the report. The cause of woman suff rage seems to be falling off.
