considerable cash, not in the regular

gage on the property to any one aud
every one who would advanced him
money. When he had duped quite
a number in this manner lie add the
team and skipped out. His (rial is
expected to come oil to-day.
The Healthiest District in
Georgia.
The Thoraosville correspondent of
the News writes as .follows:
“The following incident will show
what a wonderful salubrious region
this is. Henry Mitchell was the enu
merator for the Duncanville census
distriot. The census regulations re
quired all deaths for the preceding 12
mouths to be reported. There had
been no deaths in this district, conse-
qently Mr. Mitchell failed to report
any. Supt. Porter wrote him that he
could not draw his pay until he had
reported some deaths. It should be
added that the Duncanville district is
a populous one, too. It is to be hoped
that when the proper explanations are
made that Mr. Mitchell will receive
his hard earned pay. without being
compelled, like the officials in the
‘Mikado,’ to kill somebody to prove
his duty well done.”
Duncanville district is entitled to
the cake. The fact is, that Thomas-
ville and Thomas county cannot he
excelled for healthfulness.

day in Albany. ,
Mr. G. W. Saxon, a prominent cit
izen of Tallahassee, and a leading fac
tor in the proposed Tallahassee aud
Northern road, was it the city yester
day.
Will it be Built?
We find the following interesting
and important paragraph in the News
ot Sunday:
“A New York special to the Florid
ian announces than an English syn-
d’c.ite has bought the entire interest
of William Clark and others in the
Augusta, Tallahassee and Gulf rail
way, the saw mills at Carrabelle and
the large tracts of land held by the
company in Wakulla county. 'The
railroad company has been re-organ
ized. Dr. C. W. Zeh, of Newark, N.
J„ has been elected president and A.
OrrSymington general manager. The
work of building the road will be
rushed.”
This was wired from Tallahassee on
Saturday. If true, and there is no
reason to doubt it, it means that, at
last, the much and long talked of road
from Carabclle East, via Thomasville,
is to be built. It is a most important
enterprise, and Thomasville should be
on the alert, ready to reach out for it;
ready to open her gates to it; ready
to do anything which will insure and .
hasten its construction. 1
The Cash Drug Store Changes
Owners.
Capt. R. L. Hicks has sold out his
interest in the Cash Drug Store to
Mr. C. S. Bondurant. Messrs. Bon-
durant & Peacock will conduct the
business in the future. Capt. Hick’s
Thomasville friends will regret to
know that he will leave Thomasville.
Business interests in the Reidsville
railroad, of which he is one of the
priocipnl projectors, will engage his
attention. He left last night for
Dublin. His family will remain here
for some time yet.
The attention of the public is called
to the announcement, elsewhere, of
the new firm. Messrs. Bondurant &
Peacock are both expert prescription-
ists. The same popular cash system
will be kept up aod all goods sold at
the closest kind of prices.
Our Gulf Connection.
We find the following in yesterday’s
News:
“ A. Orr Symington, tho newly
elected general manager of the Au
gusta, Tallahassee ond Gulf Railway
Company, is in Scotlnnd organizing a
colony' to settle upon lands owned by
the company on St. James’ island. It
is said that work will soon bo resumed
on the road, and that part of the plan
of th« newsyndicate is a line of steam
ers to ply between Carrabelle and
South and Central American ports.
Dr. C. M. Zeh, the newly elected
president of the road, is president of a
Newark (N. J.) bank, and is well
known in Tallahassee as a hustler.”
Dick Grubb, in the la«t issue of tho
Darien Gazette, says:
“The people of Brunswick never
get tired of booming up their city.
They all pull together when it comes
to talking up iheir town.”
There is a lesson in this for Thom-
osvillc. Will she heed it? We hope
Goy. Gordon Will Not Reply.
“Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 21.—Gov
Gordon has returned to the city, and
upon an inquiry it is learned that he
will make no reply to the bitter and
uncalled fot attack made upon him by
Mr. Norwood.”
A reply would be beneath the dig
nity ol Genml Gordon. He needs
no defense belore the people of Geor
gia.* They know and trust him.

Clark Stevenson, governor of Nevada,

this city this evening.
Kilgore, ol Texas, hasn’t kicked a

there is no telling when the big footed

in the country have offered to send

There are scores of broken-down

A true extract from the minutes.

Clerk 8. O: T. V.
We do not advance tho argument
that school boys should be provided
with new clothes merely because the
school season has opened—Parents—of
course— ore the judges concerning
the requirements of their children—
We refer especially to school suit*—
because—in the natural order of
things—almost every’ boy needs nctv
clothes at this—the fag end of the
summer : cason—and the harbinger
of coming cooler weather—when
stouter and warmer jackets aud pants
will bo required—
There isn’t any marked point of
difference between school suit* and
<lrc*a soils—save—that—the J former
arc made from more durable and
serviceable materials of dark shades
—fabrics that arc more celebrated for
wearing qualities limn “pretty”
looks—
Our prices are so absurdly low that
it might suggest tho remark—“too
eheap to be i/oixF'—
We have never yet falsified a single
line of our announcements in our
twenty-five years business here—and
with the past fulfillment of every
promise as nit assurance of our integ
rity—you can justly feel encouraged
to visit our Juvenile Department—and
form your own conclusions ns the truth
of our assertions—
A promise—with us—always pre
supposes iulfillmcni—This rule is
infallible—When you have the pledge
of this house upou any point you
know you may rely upou its execu
tion—equally particular are we not to
mislead you by extravagant declara
tion—Wc never pass the reins of fact
into the hands of ‘canless speech”—
Our shelves full of childrens cloth
ing—in themselves—constitute [au at
traction for all ctonomical buyers—
anil fittingly celebrate the blending of
“floret summer an l chanceful Au-
tuhin.”—
