A New Paper for Thomasville.
Thomasville, Oa., Ocl. 31.—
Thomasville is to have a new paper.
The first irsue will appear in about
ten days. It is to be an alliance orgnn
strictly, and is owned by J. M. Mas
sy and W. B. Hamilton and possibly
associates. It will be a weekly and
the official organ of tho Thomas coun
ty allinnce. Many rumors are afloat
concerning the enterprise, among
them one that it ha3 an important po
litical significance, to tho effect that
ono of the proprietors had just return
ed from New York with $5,000 to
back it, and that it will be made the
alliance organ for Florida.”
The abovo was sent from hereto
the Savannah News by the corre
spondent of that paper on Friday.
We shall welcome this or any other
enterprise designed to build up and
better tho condition of this section of
the Empire State of the South
After Twenty-Five Years.

town. Ho made his escape and lay
out in nnd around the town for eey
oral months He found refuge in
several places and has visited them
for the first time since 1865. Mr.
Cherry is a pleasant, affable gentle
man. and lies made, already, a num
her of friends among those who wore
tho gray. The gentleman has prom
ised the Times-Enterprise some
recollections of his first visit to Thom
nuvillo. They will no doubt bo in

tend him a cordial welcome to Dixie.
He will find southern gentlemen as
hospitable and liberal as they were
brave.
On Wednesday Night. ■
The opera house will hold a bril
liant audience on Wednesday night,
when the “Water Queen” is played.
The Philadelphia Evening Herald;
speaking of the play, says:
Bolossy Kiralfy’s latest production,
“Tfio Wat-i 1 Queen,” is a thing or re
markable beauty and a dazzling tri
umph. Tho great spectacle, in four
acts, was preseuted for liio first time
in this city ut the Walnut Street
theatre last evening. Few managers
have nerve enough to collect the cost
ly attractions exhibited it; each act.
the costumes are rich aud baffle
description, while the car loads of
scenery furnishes g irgeous stage set
tings, grotesque in form and delightful
to behold. The piny uufolds a fairy
story with human lovers, numerous
demous aud fairies who triumph over
tho fiends.
Death of a Young Man.
Mr. Daa Andrews died yesterday
morning at his father’s, Dr. J. D. An
drews, on Dawson stieet. He was a
young man just entering manhood
and was well known and popular. He
was a long time engineer between
Waycross and Gainesville, and it wJs
while on this run that he contracted
the malady that ended > is death
He was much liked by all and had a
host of friends among his fellow em
ployers. The tuneral wdl take place
this afternoon at 3 o'clock, at the
house, conducted by Rev. G. G. N.
McDonald, and the interment after
wards in Laurel Hill Cemetery.
The Water Queen.
The pictures for Kiralfy’s Water
? ,ueen were put on the wall yesterday.
he production of this magnificent
and elaborate spectacular piece will
be a most interesting event. Crowded
houses greeted the three performances
in Savannah, and a high compliment
to the company is paid by these from
here who witnessed it. The southern
press pronounce tho Water Queen one
of tho very best companies playing
through the south this season.
Absent Minded.
A guest of the Gulf yesterday wrote
on a postal to the postmaster at Amer-
icus, as follows: “Pleaso send my
mail to mo at Thomasville, Ga., and
dropped it in the box at the hotel fop
mailing, without signing any name.
He probably oxpected the postmaster
to recognize tho writing.
Mrs. C. W. Miller and sister, Miss
Hattie Whicher, of Brighton Heights,
Staten Island, N. Y., arrived last
evening and are at the Gulf. The
ladies will probably spend the
winter here. It is their first visit
South and we trust it may prove a
very pleasant one.
Make your engagements for Wed
nesday night.
The Big Bond'd Placed.
THE AUGUSTA A ND WEST
FLORIDA ON A SOLID
BASIS.
The Line Bonded at Fifteen
Thousand Dollars Per Mile.
The Augusta Clirouicloof yesterday
says:
“Yesterday at 2 o’clock the ^direc
tors of the Augusta and Wait Florida
railroad held a meeting at the office
of Vice President James U- Jackson.
“The meeting was calked for tho
purpose of ratifying the mortgage
ramie to the Now York Mercantile
Trust aompany, trustees, by the com
pany.
“The amount of the m ortgageis on
the basis of 815,000 per mile, and as
tho length of the line, 'including.the'
Jesup branch, is 433 mi' .es, this mort
gage aggregates 86,495/ J00.
“President Bailey c amo on from
New York to ho presen t at the meet
ing, and the report made by him 1 * * * '
dealt with the progrr a made in tho
soveral avenues of acti vity.
“He was seen by a Chronicle re
porter last night and a ski d about the
affairs of the projected - lino. Every
thing is as satisfactory as anyone
could desire. Wo r.ow have abun
dant money to work on. But even
hef'ore this transaction was ratified,
wo were and are mow pushing the
work ot grading ahead. Gangs of
men are busy on tho line between
Augusta and Louisville. Ho feels
that tho lino should be completely
graded between Augusta and Louis
ville within sixty days.”
This will bo welcome news to Thom
asville. Our people have watched
this enterprise with the keenest in
terest, feeling that its completion
will give us another great nnd direct
highway to tho North and East.
A very interesting article on an in
teresting subject, the “Knight of the
Road,” was published in a. recent
issue of the Morning News Irons the
pen of one of the most popular
knights of the road, Mr. C. B. Town
send. Stories related by drummers
while whiling away an idle hour at the
Gult House, in this city, furnish the
subject. \
Talking Tariff.
The Argus, published nt Albany,
N. Y., prints an interesting interview
with Mr. Cleveland on the political
situation. Among other things Mr.
Cleveland said;
“I am confident that wc shall se
cure a majority iu the House of Re
presentatives. Our success may not
be so sweeping and dcciuvo as many
of our snugumc frionds anticipate,
but it will he safo And substantial. I
cannot forget.how laboriously the re
form moves which must break through
selfish interests, strongly entrenched
and unscrupulously asserted, and
which must over come abuses longsuf
fored and arrogantly maintained, I
believe that all our gaius must bo the
result of a hard struggle against these
odds. It is now, however, possible
that the complete triumph of the peo
ple’s cause can be much longer delay
ed. Tho effective inculcation of the
wholcsomo doctrine which character
izes the democratic press; through the
discussion goiug on in every part of
the country; the undisguised schemes
of the Republican party to sccuro its
perpetuation in power through reck
less enactments which stifle the re
sults of the people's suffrage; its brutal
methods of legislation, and, above all,
the positive distress daily threatening
our people’s homes under the opera
tion of the new and iniquitous tariff
law—a law which not only enhances
the cost of tho necessaries of life, but
fosters tho extortions of trusts pnd
combinations—make certain the ad
vent of a freer, better time, and the
aseendanoy of true democracy.”
Georgia Will Stand by Gordon.
Savannah Sews.
Had tho election for United States
Senator taken place a fortnight since
there is no little doubt hut that Geor
gia would have witnessed the humtlia
ting spectacle of seeing her distin
guished son, John B. Gordon, ^ defeat
ed by the machinations of a clique in
Atlanta, who, by misrepresentations,
had poisoned the minds of such mem-
bers of'thc .Legislature as er e con troll-
ed bv Farmers’ Alliances. No more
deplorable calamity could have befal
len our K'.eat state than the succest1 of
tho wily and crafty professional politi
cians \1i10 have assumed to control its
destinies Fortunately, the represen
tatives of the Democratic farmers in
Georgia have had their eyes opened
to tho truth, and, in spite of the efforts
of tho Macunes and Livingstons their
Alliance organizations aro rallying to
tho support of the man who was a
soldier among soldiers when it was
right to bo a soldier, and a statesman
and a patriot, iu the broadest sense of
these words, in times that brought
into conspicuous view the qualities
and virtues of the men who deserves
those houored titles. Livingston may
he "tired of generals,” and their re
cords iu times of war, but tho patrio-
lie people of Georgia have not forgot-
ten those who defended their homes in
tho gloomy and trying times that are

The Elberton Gazette gets off this
good ono: The men who havo writ
ten in favor of tho sub-treasury bill
either want the United States sens-
torship or “something better,’’
Most of them will havo to take
something worse. Tho eyes of the
alliancemen have been opened. Many
of them^pw rccognizo the fact that
the men who aro writing letters en
dorsing tho sub-treasury plan are
doing so to catch votes for U. S.
Senator.

COLD WEATHER NECESSITIES
Carpets andThier Accessories,
The time is certainly her&
when yon are thinking of your
new carpet, and you could select
no better time to purchase it.
We are turning out more car•
pets than any two houses in
town. Why? because we have
the assortment to select front,
and the prices are right.
We advise you to purchase
your carpets now, for as sure as
two and two make four—yoit
will pay more two months hence.
The McKinley tariff bill has
caused an advance in wool, and
it will be impossible for carpet
dealers to duplicate their stock
at former prices. Naturally it
will cause an increase to the
consumer. Our advice is plain.
We have only the following
inducements to offer—-first the
largest stock—second lowest pri
ces—third that carpets and rugs
are cheaper noiv than they will
probably ever be again.

that when we advertise a thing
we mean business. Come and
look at the ggods, whether our
dealings will extend beyond that
stage rests with you. We fed
confident, however, if you are
in need of carpets you will be
