Everyone is glad In see Mr. Will Hammond at home again. lie lias been taking a special law course in New York, studying with one of the most eminent legal linns in that city. He is thoroughly equipped for the practice of bis profession. Squire Bibb made two people hnppy on Saturday, two hearts that beat as one were hound together with the strong cords of the marriage laws of Georgia. Scab llaglin, an attache of the Gulf House and Hattie John son were the parties. They’ are colored. He Sold Mortgaged Property and Arrest Follows. Sheriff Hurst went to Valdosta Saturday night aud returned Sunday with William Parker, a festive gen tleman of colo.’, who is very much wanted here. The ban under which Parker is now resting is caused by his selling mortgaged piopcrty. He owned a team on which lie raised considerable cash, not in the regular and legal way, but by giving a mort 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. Railroad Notes. Willis Barnes, express messenger on the Albany division, has been com polled to lay’ oil for several days on account of sieknets. Pete Bone, of ilie company’soffico here, is filling the place. *** The inspection officials of the 8. F. ai.d W. Ry., after spending Sunday in llic citv, left yesterday morning tor a trip over the Albany division. 'They' will return to Way cross and Savan nah over the B. k W., which com pletes the inspection tour. The pnrly will not go over the Alabama Midland this trip. quite a number of the Plant system official drove around the city, and out to the adjacent points of interest, Sunday. *** Mr. E. Harris, of tho G. S. & F. Ry, was in the city yesterday. V The passenger trains were crowded with through passengers yesterday *#* Mr. B C. Bowie, of the G. S. & F. Ry, and E. B. Whiddon, left yester day for a trip by private conveyance over the entire route of the new road between this place and Tifton. A site for the camps will bo selecte 1 on this trip. V Mr. Will Mash, of the Southern^ Express Company’s office, spent Sun 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. Nevada’s Governor Dead. Cabson, New, Sept. 21.—Charles Clark Stevenson, governor of Nevada, died ol typhoid tever at his residence in this city this evening. Kilgore, ol Texas, hasn’t kicked a door down lor a day or two. But there is no telling when the big footed Texan may kick a bole in some wall of the capital, lie’s a kicker, he is. Halt the shoem .iking establishments in the country have offered to send him a pair of shoes. There are scores of broken-down wholly played-out politicians in Geor gia who are vainly trying to retrieve themselves, by grasping the tail of the Alliance kite.—Hawkinsvtlle Dispatch and News. Reed is a big man, weighing— well, he’s mighty heavy; but he isn’t big enough for a quorum—at least not while Charley Crisp is around, Mississippinns have six years in which to learn to read and write. After 1896 they cannot vote unless they possess these accomplishments. They now call him Thomas McCune Norwood. Well, it will not be Sena tor Norwood. The boll worm and rust have phy- ed havoc with the cotton crop. It turns out that Screven county did not indorse Norwood. PROCLAMATION.
