The Hus sars, Guards and South Georgia Col lege Cadets, added no little to the en tertainment and pleasure of visitors. Lieut. Jerger commanded the Guards, Lieut. McIntyre the Hussars, and Lieut. Ralph Neel, who is every inch a soldier, handled the Cadets like a veteran. Capt. Maclean, as senior of ficer, commanded the battalion, with Lieut. Miller, of the Guards, as Adju tant. The dress parade in tho park was witnessed by a large crowd. Thomasville ought, in every possible way, encourage her military. Matters at the North. New York, Nov. 10,1800. Editor Tntiw'xTERPnisc: Some one has said that “Mankind are divided into two classes, wise men and fools—mostly fools.” This is very well illustrated by the way in which men accumulate and make use of mon ey. One man devotes all his time and energies to its accumulation. His on ly enjoyment is in the thought of its possession, and that is very little. Shakespeare says: “If thou art rich, thou’rt poor : For, like an ass. whose back with ingots bows, thou bear’st thy heavy riches but a journey, and death unloads thee." This is one of the fools. The wise man is he who makes the best of life, and gels the greatest amount of enjoyment out of it. Tho distri bution of happiness among men is much more equable than is generally supposed. Many a poor laboring man with his pittance of wages, enjoys more real happiness with his wife and children, than many a millionaire with his corroding cares, fears and anxieties. It is not a man’s possessions that afford him happiness, but tho use he makes of them. Here is a very rich man who lives •only to accumulate money. He has no time to spend at a watering place or moUutain resort iu summer, nor to go South in winter. Ho is a slave, aud does a slave’s work. Hero is another man who devotes a portion of the year to business, and is in easy circumstances. Ho wishes to obtain the greatest amount of enjoy ment out of life He is fond of social intercourse; and in the heated months of summer ho goes to bis favorite re-, sort, and in winter be goes South to Thomasville or some other delightful resort. ’ This he does, not jierhaps irons necessity, but being a social be ing. be wishes to meet old friends and to have a change. I met a host of this class of people at tho Appledore House, Isles of Shoals, last summer, and on all proper occasions I talked up Thomasville. I am quite sure I made many converts, and you will see their faces the com* ing winter. Some of them wrote immediately, inquiring about accom modations. Should tho winter hero proye as cold as it usually is, I fed quite confident that every hotel and boarding house in Thomasville will be well filled. The elections! Well, I am do poll- tician, and will say nothing. But I heard a republican repeat what a democrat said whon Polk was nomi nated in Baltimore: “Well, I can live as loDg in h— as any man |” I am reminded of the story told of a negro orator nt tho South, who had seen the time when the republicans were .on top, and the time when the democrats were on top, but he had never seen tho time when the negro was on top. To illustrnte his subject he said he dreamed one night he died and went to heaven, and' St, Peter sqid to wo i "Is you mounted ?’* “No," said I. “No one can come in hero unless he’s mounted,” said St. Peter. As I turned to go down I met the govrenor of Virginia. “You can’t get in far you is not mounted,'* said I. ‘No one can go in less he's mounted.” The governor saw I looked strong, and ho proposed that I should down, ho would mount me, and wo would go right in. All right; and so I squat ted, and the governor mounted mo. After a hard struggle wo got to tho gate, and St. Peter said to tho gov ernor : “Yes,” he replied. “Hitch your horse on the outside, and come right in 1” G. Q. Colton. Mbs Jenqetto Halford, daughter of President Harrison’s private secretary, and who spent last winter at the Piney Woods, is visiting friends in Atlanta. Mr. H. Wise Fails. Rumors of the failure of Mr. II. Wise, yesterday, proved to be correct. We understand that the liabilities are about 838,000, and that the assets are nominally between thirty nnd thirty- five thousand, consisting of- stock, real estate and notes and accounts. About $25,000 is secured by mortgages. Capt. Hammond, who represents Mr. Wise, went to Mouticello yester day, to look after the branch store there, aud could not be seen. Wheth er an assignee will be appointed, or what course the creditors will take, has not yet developed. Every one regrets that Herman Wise has had to suspend, for he is re garded a3 one of the squnrest of mer chants. That he may pull through and get on his feet again, is the wish of everybody in Thomasville. Amy Lee. On account of the very inclement character of the weather, only a small house greeted Amy Iiee. in the Clip per, on Wednesday night. The crowd, though small, was iu n good humor, and gave the leading star nnd some of her support, liberal applause. The play exhibits some of the haser traits of humanity, relieved, however, by somo of the more noble. Amy Lee is a sprightly woman, and plays her rol licking parts with an abandon which pleased, At the conclusion of the piece, Ser geant Mallette, in his happiest style, presented Mr. Willis Quarterman with tho gold medal for having made the best score at tho tournament. Mr. Mallettc’s sketch of the origin of the custom, tracing it as be did, through the middle ages, aud down to the present, was both interesting and en tertaining. -^.-S ;. - y , «. Railroad Notes. Another operator will be added to the depot force on Sunday. A carload of horses were shipped through the city yesterday en routo to Gainesville, Fla. The Southern Exposition nt Mont gomery has] caused travel over the Alabama Midland to increase con siderably. It is estimated that the changes and improvements being made by tho S. F. & W. Ry, on the grounds here, will cost the company not less than 850,000. Bob Thompson, of Chattahoochee has been made car inspector here. Railroad men say tho new schedule will go into operation on Sunday, Circqs and Menagerie, French Si C'o.’s Railroad C.’rcus, Museum, Menagerie and Hippodrome wore in town last Mouday, and Mcn- dota never was so crowded with its neighboring population. Every fen* turo is of the best, and all are so moral and refined as to please tho most fastidioug. fho whole outfit q,c nice people to do business with, and our only regret is that we can’t reasonably expect to exchange com pliments oftener than once a year. French & Co.’s Shows have left a good impression, and will be heartily welcomed whenever they choose to come and sec us again.—Mendota, Ill., Reporter, Juno 5,1830. Mr. F. W. Baldwin, wire chief of the New York main office, W. U. Tel. Co., arrived yesterday, and will spend the winter here. He is accom panied by his friend, Mr. Barrett, who comes to see Mr. Baldwin com fortably quartered. Mr. Baldwin will find himself am ing good friends, though he is “away down South in Dixie." To-raorrow morning almost before the early risers are astir, the tents of the circus will be put up, the darkies will be coming to town, and circus day will have began. The canvas will be put np on Fleming street near tho depot. ’TIS A FEAT TOFITFEST. 3 mm THERE’S NO DECEPTION HERE NEAT—COMFORTABLE—DURABLE. Well Known Here. Mr. W. H. Hester, tho drummer who committed suicide on the train near Charlotte, N. C., Wednesday, was well known iu Thomasvillc. He traveled fora Baltimore shoe house, and would have been in the city yes terday by appointment with his cus tomers. Several letters were awaiting him. Love-nffairs are assigned as tho cause of tho sad tragedy. Colored Hen’s Prosperity. There is one paragraph in tho last annual message of Gov. Gordon which should be read by ev< ry Georgian, and should bo scattered broadcast throughout the North nnd West as a complete refutation in itself of ibe lies so frequently reiterated, to the effect that tho colored citizen is kept down iu this State. ‘ The subjoined table,” said tho Governor, “shows the value of the property of colored taxpayers from 1879 to 1890 inclusive, and exhibits very plainly the increased prosperity of that class of our population : 1879 $ 5,182,398 1880 5,764,292 1881 0,478,951 1882 0.589 820 1883 7.582,395 1884 8,021,525 1885 8,153,390 1880 8,055,398 1887 8,949,479 1888 0,031,271 1889 10,415,330 1890 ;; 12,322.003 Will Mr. Ingalls, or Mr. Chandler, or anybody else who poses as a hater of the South, get up a similar table of the financial standing of tho ne groes of the North to show that they are doing better there than here?— Savannah Daily Times.

CITY SHOE STOKE. ■ We don't believe in the “Hur rah'' method of transacting business. There's decidedly more evidence of sincerity in a continued utterance of solid and substantial facts, than there is in the spasmodic outbursts of in explicable liberality which ' has been shewn by some business houses. This, however, is an issue which must be decided by the intelligence and discerning judgment of the people who have dollars to spend, and who naturally expect to receive a pair equivalent for their cash.
