1 This popular play will draw a big
j house on Wednesday night. An ex-
[ change in speaking of it says:
The scenery is from our best Amer-
enn and European artists, whilo the
costumes are beyond description. The
ballet which, of course, is the main
feature of the production, is tho best
equipped Mr. Kiralfy has ever had.
Not only are the principals extraordi
narily good dancers, but the entire
corps de ballet is composed of people
all up in the nrt of dancing. The
“Water Queen” is peculiar in its con
struction, resembling the pantomime
so popular in London at Christmas
time, though the typical harlequinade
is nbsent, and for this reason is special
ly calculated to please children and
draw family parties, to whom its pur
ity nnd unobjcctionnl nature forrj
strong inducements. The story of t'ne
play is ns follows: A bold, brave and
handsome young knight loves a lady-
fair. So also does Draco, the d-oraon.
Draco, with the aid of his tiorrible
lurking nud groveling devils, seeks to
obtain possession of tho lovely Lady
Elsa, and to cncompaes the destruc
tion ot tho gnllant Sir Egbert. Of
cmrso, tho “Water Queen” always
appears at tho proper time, nud waving
her wand paralyzes Draco. Ail final
ly ends happily with tho marriage of
the young people and the banishment
of Draco.
In Trouble Again.

man who has been in jail for sevoral

was standing near disarmed the mnn,
and he was locked up to an twer the

The Famous LeConte Pear.
Speaking ot pears, the Florida Dis'
patch, Farmer and Fruit Grower says
LeConte pears are growing to a large
exteqj in Midc’le Florida, and their
culture is extending all over the state,
even far down into the orange belt
where they are ft'ound to equal the gol
den fruit, in many cases, in profita
bleness at the same age of the tree.
Messrs. Byrd & Denham, produce
merchants of i'allahassee, gave us the
pear crop o, Leoi i county in 1889 at
t i.ooo barrels shipped' over the F. C.
P. R. R,, besides a good miny that
were carried over the Georgia line.
These pears netted an average of
83 barrel, as far as the prices receiv
ed were known. A tree was pointed out
f 0 us at Tallahassee, belonging to Mrs.
A. L. Raodolph, which yielded in one
year eight barrels (at least 20 bushels)
of merchantable fruit, besides some
used in the family.
Next year will show, if the season is
favorable, the largest crop of LeConte
pears ever gathered in Thomas coun
to. No crop pays belter.
“We ought to have a telcphoue ox-
change.” said a prominent gentleman,
ou Broad street, yesterday. And this
gentleman proceeded to count a large
number of parties who would sub
scribe nnd take an instrument. It
would prove a very great convenience,
and with an effort on the part of the
people, an exchange could doubtless
be established here. These exchanges
are being established in almost every
town of any size in the country, and
Thomasville should keep up with the
procession.
Geo. W. Ferrell.
We teg to call special attention to
the double column advestisement of
Mr. G. VV, Ferrell. Mr. Ferrell keeps
a splendid line of furniture, parlor sets,
bedroom sets, tables, chairs, solas &c ;
also a full line o( carpets, rugs, window
shades, wall paper, curtains, picture
mouldings, children carriages, mattress
springs, sash, doors and blinds; also
window: nd plale gla-s. In short you
can find anything kept in a first class
furniture establishment by calling
there. Mr. Ferrell sells on the install-
men', plan thus making it easy for pur
chasers to pay. And his prices will
be found as low as anybody’s. If you
need anything in his line, give Mr.
Ferrell a call, and he will please you,
both in goods and prices. See his ad
vertisement.
Comptroller General Wright Ira3
furnished Tax Collector Hccth with the

For “Bob” Mitchell.
The Bainbridgc Democrat says :
We would like to see the Hon. Rob
ert G. Mitchell, of Thomas county,
elected President of the Georgia Sen
ate. There will be no abler man in
that body than he, and lie would do
honor to its presidential chair. Mr.
Mitchell is a Southwest Georgia man.
Give us a chance. And, better, he is
fully capacitated to fill the position.
Give him a chance. Men like Bob
Mitchcil don’t grow on irecs all over
Georgia.
And the chances are that the Sena
tor from the 7th discrict will preside
over the senate.

aud cujoying refreshments, returned
home, each, no doubt, carrying pleas

Frederick Douglas, in an address in
Washington the other evening in illus
trating the importance of calling things
by their right names, said : “Slavery
lost something ot its offensive aspect
when it was calle i a domestic instiiu =
tion or a social system and other like
names. Emancipation was made to
look dangerous when it got itself call
ed an experiment although slavery
itself was an exper.ment, and liberty
is the normal condition of man.”
