Mr. Mark Rush, the assistant yard- master returned last night front a trip to Chicago and other points West. He reports an interesting trip. Mr. J. J- Rogors, of Dothan, and Miss Florence A. McDaniel, of Wau keenah, were married a few days ago. The couple have gone to Dothan to reside. Dr. Culpepper has bought a new guD. He can now, so he says, knock The Water Queen. 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. DeLanncc, the halt crazy French man who has been in jail for sevoral months on a charge of larceny from the person, but was released a couple of days ago as the grand jury found no hill against him, is again in trou ble, and this time he will hardly escape punishment. His wail of woe 1b about a pistol, and his prosecutor will he sheriff Hurst',, ‘lbo trouble canitf about in this manner: Sheriff Hurst met DeLaunce and questioned him about somo • reports he had circulated against him. Dur ing the conversation, the Frenchman bocanie very much excited, nnd pull ing out a revolver, presented it in the sheriff’s face. Policeman Brown, who was standing near disarmed the mnn, and he was locked up to an twer the charge ot carrying concealed weap ons, etc. 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 mileage of taxable railroads in Thom as county. The taxes amount to about $2,500. So that much will be added to the revenues of the county. In ca.-e u railroad fails to pay its taxes to the tax collector of a county, flfas are issued from the Comptroller Gen eral’s office. 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. THE SCHOOL OF EXPERIENCE TEACHES USEFUL LH8- SONS. DON’T LET IT COST YOU TOO MUCH. I Levy A Co.

Fail ing health has caused him to retire hem active business life, and Mr. J. II. Girardeau has become the editor aud proprietor of tho Monticello Con stitution. Frank Paine says the colored voter is taking very little interest in the election next Tuesday, They could not do better than to vote for Turner, lie is a better friend to them than Brother” Matteson. That was a pleasant gathering of little folks at the residence of Presi dent Hutson, of the South Georgia College, last night, to observe Hallow- 'ecn, being the cveniug preceding All Hallows, or All Saints day. Mr. aud Mrs. Hutson proved themselves delightful entertainers and the little folks, after cracking nuts and jokes, aud cujoying refreshments, returned home, each, no doubt, carrying pleas ant recollections of the evening. Happy, innocent childhood, may the future have only happiness in store for them.

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.” We hope we have educated yon to rely upon our promise to serve your be&t inticr ests.

HERE'S AN EARLY FALL BARGAIN THAT’LL PROVE INTERESTING. mperti fact concerning our use of tho word “ler- yain.” Perhaps you’ve noticed that thtrf arc some concerns that never aell anything excepting “bargains?''
