Isler, solid citizens of Centerville, were in the city Friday. They were loaded with railroad ethu- siasm, and say the Tallahassee North ern must be built, Centerville will bo represented among the stockholders to the amount of $5,000.—Floridian. Our Florida friends seem to be in earnest about an outlet to Thomasville And Thomasville should show some earnestness in the matter also. Parties having business with tho ex press office, should read Manager Rey nolds’ notice, as to hours observed. You will seo at what hours articles to be sent off will be received.

The new agent is going to run tho of fice on strict business principles, and in a manner to accommodate, in every possible way, the public. He has grown up in the service, and under* stands it in every detail. Whose Fault Is It i We refer the following just coni-- plaint of a subscriber in Monticello Fla., to the proper authorities: “Something must be. wrong, either with the jnailing department of the T.-E., or with the mnil service between your place and this. Sora etimes the T.-E. is four days in reaching this place, as was the case of last weeks issue. I ought to get my T.-E. on Friday eve, not later than Saturday morning. This time I did not get it until Tuesday evening. Why is this? and where is the fault? and can it not be corrected in some way ? The fault is not in our mailing de partment. It is very clenr that mail matter put in the office here on Fri day—and the Weekly is always mailed that day—it ought not, we repeat, require from Friday until Tuesday for mail matter to go from Thomasville to Montioello. The run is made iu about an hour. Wo hope those interested will Took into the matter, and have the fault eorreoterl. Phosphate tn Thomas, The Constitution says: “About a thousand aoros of phos phate lands in Thomas county have been bought by Atlanta gentlemen. Their attention was drawn to the mat. ter hy a remark of Mr. Dunwoody Jonrs that be had picked up phos phate rock on the surface in Thomas county. His hearers were incredu lous, hut Mr. Jones insisted that he was uot mistaken.^. His positiveness led to an investigation, which resulted in the purchase of the land and the opening of the mines. Those interest ed are: Messrs. R. M* Farrar, T. J. Jam?s, Joseph H. Jones, H. Lewis, E. V. (‘arter, W. I. Zachry, L. Z. Rosser and a couple ot New Yorkers. A carload of rock was shipped' to tho Atlanta Guano Company, qnd Mr. J If. McKenzie, the superinten dent, pronounced it equal to auy that has come to the factory. (, Qur chief advantage over the Flori da phosphates, 1 ’ said one of the above gentlemen, “is that we have lower freight rates in Georgia. They have no railroad commission in Florida and their local rates arc very heavy. The difference in freight alone will giye pa a good profit," Cost of Advertising. No maiter how ouch advertising pays it certainly costs. A single page in ..n issue of t'»e Century taken for ad vertising purposes, costs 8500; in Har per’s $400 down to $too, A yearly advertisement in one column of the New York Herald costs $30,300 for the lowest, and $130,000 for the high?, est priced columns. These figures will doubtless be'of interest to men who invest 83 or $3 per month, and flatter themselves with the idea that they areexpensiye and liberal advertis ers, and that because of their invest ment they ought to control the col? umns and dictate the coui.se of the publication.—Chicago Herald. Are the merchants and business men, generally, of Thomasville, doing as much advertising rs they ought 1 It is one qf the ways, and a mighty good one, to build up trade. The Thomasville correspondent of the News says; “ThQniasville thinks she should con trol a good jobbing business. Two strong firms hete, T. J. Ball & Bro. and Mitch'ell & McIntyre, it is under stood, will enter the field for that trade. With her railroad facilities and central location, there is no rea son why this city should not do a pro fitable business. Now let opr hardware, boot, shoo pnd hat men, confectioners, druggists, buggy aqd wagon dealers, liquor deal ers, stationers, saddlery and harness dealers and other lines follow suit, and Thomasvillo would soon do a thriving wholesale trade. Mr. C. L. Smith, of Seattle. Wash ington, was in the city yesterday. He was a guest oi the Gulf. The Biggest Sale Ever Made in Thomasville. Will Sparks, who received his training in Thomasville, but who has for several years been “on tho road” eclipsed all former records on Wednsday, by selling seven thousand, six hundred and sixty dollars worth of goods. This beats the record. The sale was made for Messrs. Armour & Co. Mr. Sparks has but recently been given, by this great firm, the exclusive right to sell in the territory cast of Eufaula, Ala., embracing South West and South Georgia aud, of course, including Thomasville. Tho sale was the first Mr. Sparks made in the town, for the Armours, and it was a whopper. Will Sparks is a steady young man, and he will make his way to the front of the most successful men on the road. The Messrs. Armour are to be congratulated upon having secured his services. He is a hummer. Tallahassee and Northern. A new railroad has been projected to be built from Tallahassee, Fla,, to Thomasville, Ga„ a distance of forty miles. It is to be of standard guage and laid with 56-pounds steel rails. It is proposed to obtain a subscription of 8000,000 in cash which will build and equip the road. There will he no bonds issued. Mr. G. W. Saxon, a banker of Tallahassee, in a letter to the board of trade of this city, states that the road will run through a fine section of country, and in case it is completed will be another feeder for Savannah. Tho road is called the Tallahassee and Northern railroad. The board of trade are inclined to interest them selves in the new road, and it is very likely that a representative of the proposed ljqe will visit Savannah soon iq its interest.—News, Give “Annie” a Re3t. Perhaps when the theatrical season opens, and new popular songs aro introduced here, tho boys will givo “Little Annie Rooney” a rest. The song took here from the”first, like it has iD every place where it was sung, and you hear it from early morning to Into at night, Tho small boys sing It, the business men whistle the tune, and oven tho ladies can not help humming the refrain, ns they attend to their household affairs. Yes, Annip Rooney and her sweet heart, should be given a rest. Tramps Tramping South, The papers say that the tramps arc coming South much earlier this year than hitherto. As a rulo the first arrivals do not put iu an appearnuce until the latter part of this month, but Atlanta and other places are already being annoyed with the “tour ist bums.” They are usually given twenty-four hours to loavo a wity, and ||;ey jcnsrally go before their time is up. Thomasville is prepared to utilize these fellows on the “gang." They would do well to steer clear of this place. From the Floridian, Tallahassee: The farmers of Leon county aro growing more independent as year after year rolls by. A few years ago hundreds of oarloads of western hay and corn wefe brought in to soil to our farmers, now they ship hay and grain to South Florida. And Thomas county should make and sell hay, instead of buying it. Lookout, Democrats. The Brunswick Times, says: Tho democrats of Georgia should not forget that one McCune, an un scrupulous republican, with head quarters at Washington, is the man who is leading the fight against Gov ernor Gordon.” Georgia democrats will properly re sent Mr. McCune’s interference in Georgia politics. Cramps in the Stomach promptly relieved by Lamar’s Diarrhoea Mixt ure. Democratic Voters and Democrat ic Nominees. A spirit of disquietude seems to prevail among many earnest Demo crats. The story is abrond that Dem ocratic nominees do not intend to re gard wishes of their Democratic con stituents. It is actually suggested that a certain Democratic nominee will caucus in congress not with tho Democratic caucus, but in a caucus which is to play between the Demo cratic and Republtcan parties. It is but natural that such talk should make many Democrats luke warm in the support of party organi zation. We call upon Democratic nominees to put this feeling at rest by telling the voters of their party that they are Democrats to stay, and will be con nected after the election with the ma chinery of no caucus except tho cau cus of their party. Such action by our nominees will give to them an undivided Democra tic support, aud will silenco or defeat Independent, or Republican candi dates.—Atlanta Journal. It is certainly due the democratic voters of each district, for the nomi nee,—if there aro any doubts about his position—to come out and say whether he will refuse to co-operate with the democrats, or not. The vo ters would know how to treat a man who might say that he would not act with the democrats. But we do not think there is a man nominated who will not pledge himself to stand by the democratic party. If such an one is found, his congressional'nspirations would be cut short, would bo nipped in the bud- Some Things the Legislature Ought to do. It ought to appropriate more money for public schools, so that they can bo run six months every year. It ought to provide for monthly or quarterly payments of public school teachers. Tho way they have to wait now is an outrage on them and a dis grace to the State, It ought to provide tnoro room for lunatics at the asylum, by taking out of it idiots, epileptics and inebriate.?! and providing other places for those classes of unfortunates. It ought to require passenger trains to he lighted otherwise than by kero sene lamps, and to bo healed other wise than by Btovcs. It ought* to require all trains to be furnished with such couplers os will enable cars to be coupled aud uncoupled without any person going between the earn. It ought to elect Governor Gordon to the United States senate. It ought to refuse free passes, stay in Atlanta, attend to business dilli- gently, get through in a reasonable time and go home to stay—without any summer session. — Baiubridge Democrat, SIGNAL SERVICE BUREAU B.
