F. N. LOHNSTEIN,
132 Broad St.
Yesterday was a lovely day.
The “Clarendon" sounds well.
Mr. Cordon Cassels is in town.
The pulso of trade is quickening.
Mrs. McAuley has several art
pupils.
Remember that to-day is the holy
Sabbath.
The church bells will ring this
morning. Heed the call.
Several rich phosphate farmers
were in town yesterday.
Mr. T. F. Purcell, of Atlanta, wbb
in the city yesterday, a guest of the
Gulf.
Some «f Thomasville’s surplus cap
ital should be put into manufacturing
establishments. Think of this.
We are glad to learn that Messis.
T. J. Ball & Bro. are rapidly build
ing up a good jobbing trade. This is
on the right lino^
Before placing your next order for
job work givo us a “whack” at it,
We are doing more work, better work
and cheaper work than anybody in
South Georgia.
We regret to learn that Mr. Jim
Milieu, well known here, met with an
accident a low days since in Bulloch
county, by being throwu from a buggy,
He is up again, however.
Thomasville is invincible when
united ; but she is weak when there is
a lack of unity among her citizens.
This fact should impress every prop
erty holder and business man in the
tOWD,
lift said- that 8 large -firm here,
who have heretofore confined them
selves to the retail trade, will soon
launch out into the wholesale busi
ness. Thomasville can be made
gpod jobbing point; and it will be.
There f»r« abundant signs of that
activity end bustlp which character
izes the winter season ip Tboniasville.
New faces are seen on the streets,
handsome turnouts whirl along, and a
general air of prosperity pervades the
town.
The friends of Hugh McIntyre—
and this includes everybody who
knows him—will be pained to learn
that he is very ill at the old homestead,
two miles from town. No braver,
purer, truer spirit, over crossed the
cold stream of death.
Rev. W - J. Williams and wifo have
returned from a delightful trip to
Kentucky. Their friends aro glad to
seo them here again. Mr. Williams
will occupy his pulpit in the Baptist
church this morning, and again at
night.
Attention is called to tho advertise
ment of “Jersey Farm.” A fow
boarders will be comfortably cared for
by Mr. and Mrs. Chastain, at reason
able rates. It is very near tho city,
among the pines, and will bo found a
delightful place, combining the free
dom of the country with the advanta
ges of the town.
Rev. C. I. LaRocho and family re
turned yesterday from New York,
Maryland and other points North,
where they have been spending the
summer very pleasantly. Mr. La*
Roche will renew regular services in
8t Thomas 'church to-day. He will
bo cordially welcomed home by his
congregation—and every one else.
The business man readily recog
nizes tho fact that the lowest price is
not always the cheapest. We will
not turn out an inferior piece of work
nt any price, but will do you a first-:
class job of printing, on first-class
material, as cheap as anybody. No
good business man will tolerate a
shoddy piece of work. It does not
speak well for bis business.
Short Sunday Texts.
Kind words are golden.
Let your motto be: Purity of pur
pose.
The home circle is the safest place
tor the young.
The sweetest words: Mother, Home
and Heaven.
Mankind is better than it is given
credit for; and so is womnnkind.
A soft answer is always better than
a harsh one.
A pleasant “good morning” may
dissipato a gloomy day.
It is just as easy—and far more
pleasant—to be agreeable.
Hope is tho main anchor of life;
never lose your hold on it.
It never pays to give way to despair;
the clouds will roll by afterawhiie.
The “sweet bye and bye” will
bring its consolations.
Don’t wear your heart on your
sleeve.
Speak kindly to children; they
always appreciate it.
Bad company—and it is found eve
rywhere—has rained thousands.
Ne man should live for himself
alone. This is a world of reciprocity.
Scatter all the sunshine you can
along the journey of life. Make
some one happier.
Kindness is rarely lost or thrown
away. It will return, may he after
many days, but in time it will.
Never criticise others Remember
that you are subject to criticism your
self.
Always put the most favorable con
struction on the words and actions of
others.
Do not judge by appearances. A
ragged garment frequently covers a
noble breast.
Never kick a man when he is on
the down grade. Slap him on tho
back, and tell him to -‘cheer up.”
Little courtesies in life go a loug
ways toward smoothing the rough
places along the journey.
Life is made up of sunshine and
shadows- If it were not for the latter
we would cease to appreciate the for
mer.
Mon talk ubout being overtaken by
temptation; they frequently nvertako
temptations themselves. And run to
do it at thnt.
Do not “sour” on the world. There
is plenty of sunshine scattered around,
and if you will adjust your glusses
properly you will see it—and feel it.
The world, as a rule, treats you
pretty much the same way in which
you treat it. Smile, and it will smile
back at you; frown, and you are apt
to get a frown jn return.
Do not fall out with people for not
seeing things as you do. We are not
all constituted alike. Be tolerant of
the opinions of others. You claim
this right; grant it to others.
This is Encouraging.
G. G. Ackerly, general passenger
agent of the J., T. & K. W., at Jack
sonville has returned recently from
on extended trip through the North
and West, on a combined pleasure
aud business trip.
He believes that this will be the
biggest season for the southern tourist
travel in the history of the southern
icsorls. Speaking to a Times-Union
reporter, lie says: . ■
“There arc two big wrthern roads
which are going to make big efforts
to turn travel south this winter, the
Monon route ami the Chicago and
Central Illinois and connections.
The eastern roads try to get the busi
ness west on account of the longer
haul, but these roads find that it is
to their advantage to get tho southern
traffic. The Pul man company arc
going to have vestibulcd trains on
these roads this winter which will
como very nearly to Florida. This
will be the first winter that such
trains have been run over these routes.
Yes, I am convinced thnt the south
ward travel will be very heavy and it
will commence early.”
The vestibule trains mentioned will
probably be run via Thomasville,
which will be a great benefit to this
place.
Thomasville Reaching Out.
The Southwest Georgian says:
“Thomasville is reaching out for
better railroad councctions Her busi-
ness men are turning their hands in
the right direction now, and good re
sults-will follow. Varied manufac
tures, and sufficient railroad facilities
to make her a distributing point for
South Georgin, and tho adjacent Flor
ida territory are her greatest needs.
Already sho has two wholesale houses,
the only objection to which is they
arc a little too modest to let the peo
ple know it.”' -
Every nUiancemnn should read
Hon. T. J. Livingston’s address to the
order. He is one ot the original all!
ancemcn of the state, is true to the
order, clear headed and worthy the
confidence of nllianccmen everywhere.
Hcau his address in another column,
Cupt. R- G. Fleming, Gcn’l Su
perintendent of the 8., F. & W. Ry.,
will pass through hero this morning
on No. 5.
Money Easier.
New York, Oct. 3.—The weekly
review of R. R. Dun & Co., says :
Never before has there been in any
month so great nil increase in the
circulation, or so large a payment
of the public debt, as in the month
just closed. Tho aggregate eircula -
tion is now 81,498,973,700, having in
creased 802,009,767 in September.
The raomey markets in all parts of
the country have turned to greater
case.
“He Giveth his Beloved Sleep.”
November the 12th
Is the day set for tho exhibit of
stock (horses,) by the Thomas County
Stock Breeders, on Broad street, and
the grand county basket picnic, shoot
ing match, tournament. Ac., &c., at
Paradise Park. No admission or en
try tees. Thomas, Jefiersou aud Leon
counties especially and everybody else
generally invited.
It will be extremely gratifying to
the Southern friends of Dr. J. T.
Metcalfe, (0 learn that he has finally
downed the grip and that “Richard is
himself again.” He writes to a friend
here that he is “healthy,'.hungry and
sassy,” and that ho will be at his win
ter home in the “Mitchell,” again this
winter. Dr. Metcalfe is one of Thom-
ville’s truest and best friends, and our
people keenly appreciate hjs^indness.
It goes without saying that the Doc
tor will receive many s warm South
ern grasp of the band, when he lands
at Georgia’s popular winter resort.
Miss Johnnie Sloan returned home
yesterday afternoon from Atlanta.

Atlanta's Dusky Barristers.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 3.—M. E. Lot-
ton, a colored lawyer who has been
practicing in Chattanooga, has been
admitted to the Atlanta bar. This
gives the city three dusky barristers,
Charles H. J. Taylor, A. B. Walker
and M. E. Lofton. Taylor is a demo
crat, Walker being a native of Canada,
has no American politics, and Lofton
is a Republican.
E. Stone Wiggins has become dis
gusted. He informs an anxious, ex
pectant public, that ho will not buck
against the weather bureau iu Wash
ington any more.
The Count of Paris is visiting this
country. Snobs to tho front.
From an Exchange.
He secs when their footsteps falter, when
their hearts grow weak and faint;
lie marks when lite r strergth is failing,
and listens to every complaint:
lie bids them rest for a season, lor the path ■
way has grown too steep;
An ', folded in fair green pastures, “He
giveth fils loved nrnssleep.”
Like weary and worp-ont children, that
sifli for the daylight's close,
lie knows that :hoy oft are longing for
home and its sweet repose;
So lie calls them in from thcii labors ere
the shadow; around them creep,
And, silently wafeliingo'er them, “Hcgivcth
His loved ones sleep.’’
He giveth it, oil, so gently! ns a mother will
hush to rest
The babe that she so: tly pillows so tendi riy
on her breast.
Forgotten nrc now tli* trails and sorrows
thnt made them weep;
For, witli many a shouting promise, “He
giveth His loved ones sleep.'
Hcgivcth it! Friends t lie dearest can nerer
this boon bestow;
But He touches the drooping eyelids and
placid tlie features grow,
Tiicir foes may gather around them, und
storms may round them sweep,
But, guarding them safe from danger, ‘-tie
giveth His lovcdor.es sleep.''
All dread of the distant future, all fears that
oppressed today,
Like mists that clear in the sunlight have
noiselessly passed away.
Nor call nor clamor can rouse them from
slumber so pure nnd deep,
For only nis voice can reach them, who
“gi -cth His loved ones sleep.’’
Weep not that their toils arc over, weep not
thnt their race is run.
God grant wc may rest ns calmly when our
work, like theirs, is done!
Till then wc would yield with gladness our
treasures to Him to keep,
And rejoice in tho sweet assurance—"Ho
giveth His loved ones sleep.”
Omissions in the Tariff Bill.
Washington, October 2.—It ap
pears that nn important omission was
mndo in the tariff bill as enrolled and
signed. Section 30 of the internal
revenue schedules, which was origi
nally stricken out by the senate, and
subsequently stored by the confer
ence, was completely omitted in en
rollment. This section provided for
an allowance drawback on smoking
and manufactured tobacco, and snuff 1
held iu unbroken packages iu the
hands of manufacturers nt data when
reductions go into effect. As this
date is .January 1st next, however,
there will still he ample opportunity
for congress at its next session to cor
rect tho error by supplemental legis
lation.
