The bright happy laces of the school children, arc again seen on the streets. They aro rays of radiant sunshine—every one of them. It would be well if the farmers would use every effort to keep a* olosc dp with the openiug cotton as possible, for September is a stormy month.

A small boy came to the post-office, about 11 o’clock Thursday morning, and greeted the clerk with a pleasant “good morning.” There wai an air of hesitancy and doubt in his manner, as he approached the delivery window slowlywith this modest inquiry oq his lipg: 1 * "Will you please tell mo if this is Mr. Mitchell’s post office.”? Thomasville Not in the Cyclone Belt. A Baltimore lady, whose husband has recently located in Thomnsville, evidently thinks he is in danger of being blown away down here. She sends him a late copy of the Sun with the following marked around: ■The Stnte in which the greatest number of tornadoes 1ms occurred is Missouri, followed next by Kansas and Georgia. As regards protection to life in case of a tornado, its suc cessful accomplishment depends on the position and surroundings of tho observer. The south side of the tor nado’s path is the dangerous side, the north side the safe one. If the cloud is moving to the northeast the line of escape is to the northwest In a building avoid a northeast room in a northeast corner, an east room or an east wall. Frame buildings arc safer than those of brick or stone when refuge is taken in a cellar, nnd caves of refugo are safest, of all.” It is true that Georgia has a storm or cyclone belt,but it is traced higher up the state. Thomasville has never yet, had a cyclone, In fact this section of the state is notably free fjotn such disasters. We promise if one of these unwelcome visitors should pome along, fo keep the gentleman on on the “north side” oi it. Military Points. The Hussars will have a dismount ed drill to-night.

The colored excursion to Savannah, a few days ago, as usual, resulted fa tally to one of the excursionists. Yes terday Sam Alexander, a negro who was shot near Waycros«, on Monday's excursion, was brought down for Dr. T. M. McIntosh to examine. When the doftof arrived at the Inin, it took Only a glance at the wound, which \vas in the side, ranging down in the abdomen, to see that the wouqded man was already dying, and that his lease on earth would expire in a few hours. Alexanders home is at Flint. He was accompanied here by his pa rents. From Tallahassee To Thomas ville. Talahassee, Fla., Sept. 3.—There is row very little doubt that the Talla hassee Northern railway will be built.

In case of my 4 eath 1 leave all I possess lo my daughter, Josephine Radcliffe. her Amy X. Gibson. mark.' And this is as binding as ii a lawyer had put in all the whereases,wherefore and therefores. There is a good dead of humburg in many ot the old stere otyped legal documents. Half the words would do as well—and better too. An Ocean ot Water. Another rain, like the one yester day afternoon,nnd it would appear that Wiggins’ prophecy ot another flood, would be fulfilled. The dreans could hardly carry oft tho sudden down pour, and in a few moments the streets were almost like a small ocean. The ground here is like a sponge though, and it does not take long for the water to disappear. Thomasville wants fewer grumblers and more active, go-a head, pushing men. In the Courts. To-day is regular police court but up to yesterday no eases had been placed on tho docket. Justice Martin oqp c^so before him at the jps^ice court yesterday. Judge Mitchell fined William Rill, colored, 825 for assault and battery in the county court yesterday. Thomasville has two colleges, male and female. They are both well officered and equipped. The health and morals of the town are good. Conclusion: Send your boys nnd girls here to be educated. —— Big Railroad Deals. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 3,—It was authoritatively stated here this after noon that the Central railroad had bought the Cnttanooga, Rome and Columbus railroad, and the Coving ton and Macon ; and also that the East Tennessee railroad bgg bought the Monon route from Louisville to Cincinnati and Chicago. This gives the Richmond and Danville terminal two more roads in Georgia, and con nection fom Brunswick and Savan nah to Chicago nnd Lake Michigan, It is also rumored that the Louis ville and Nashville will secure the Marietta and North Geoigia, the Central’s forty-nine per cent, of the lease stock of tho Georgia railroad, and tho South Carolina railroad from Augusta to Charleston and Columbia. Congressman Kennedy, of Qhlo, fairly skinned Mot Quay, iq a speech pq the floor of the house yesterday. The speech has caused consternation among the republicans. Keqqetljr Is a typical republican. It begins to look os If the thieves were going to foil out. Decatur County Endorses Gordon. Bainbridge, Ga., Sept. 3.—-The democratic convention of tho Eighth senatorial district, composed of Mitch ell, Miller and Decatur counties, met here to-day and nominated Hon. Mas- ton O’Neal for the Senate to-day by acclamation. A resolution indorsing Gen. John B. Gordon for United States senator was adopted by a vote of 76 to 7. The resolutions instruct the senator and representatives to voto for Gen. Gordon for the United States Senate at the next meeting of tho legislature. Tho issue has been joined in the 7th district. Dr. Felton has been nominated by tho straight outs against Everett. This is unfortunate. Dr. Felton accepted in a rousing speech. The fur will fly in the 7th. We are the People, For the People, And With the People. Mr. PowderJy says of tho Lodge Force bill: “The nnmo of every Congressman who voted for that law should ho published to the world, nnd citizens who arc opposed to such high handed work should scratch them on next election day.” Mr. I’owderly has mannged a good many strikes, and now ho makes n "ten strike,” himself. Tho country will endorse Mr. Powderly’s views. Shoe leather has advanced, but notwithstanding the ad vance we have determined to make a still deeper cut into our immense stock. The pruning knife has been busy the early part of this week, and for the beginning of the season we will' offer the largest, handsomest and best selected stock of the best makers in the market. In show gentlemen’s shoes we Williams, Kneeland & Cos. famous fine hand-sewed pat ent leathers in all thedifferent shapes. Our own well known $3.00 shoe needs no puffing, as every pair sold advertises us. We arc closing out the famous Zeigler Bro’s gent’s [shoes at T. Every gentleman who has worn a pair knows their dura bility and beauty, and will not have to be told twice before he takes advantage of this of fer. The Griffin Daily News, says: “Cary B. Townsend, Jr., 1ms ar rived in this city and will spend the balance of the summer here. He is now three days old and is ns hand some and can make as much noise as anybody’s child. He will receive his friends at the residence of C. G. Mills.” We can only hope that the young gentleman will make rs good a man as his father. In ladies’ foot wear, we put on our shelves the best select ed shoe stock in fine, fancy, medium and low grades ever seen in Thomasville, and we believe in the state. Tho New York Commercial Adver tiser says: No peaceful coiner on earth re mains to tho carpet-bagger. His hopes surged high when the force bill seomed on the point of beiug rushed through Congress, but tho fate of that measure makes it necessary for him to look about him for some honest means of livelihood.” The South does not want any moro carpet-baggers in “hern.” SIGNAL SERVICE BUREAU K.
