A Full House at the Mayor’s
Matinee.
The circus had the effect of swell
ing the attendance in the police court
considerably yesterday m truing. To
most darkies, circus day is a glorious
holiday, and when it happens to come
on Saturday the eflect is too much
for him, and lie takes to driuk, not
from sorrow, but for joy.
The first case called was against
Sherman Thompson. His face is a
familiar ono in the courts, and the
Mayor allowed him his choice of pay
ing $7 or twelve days. The twelve
days suited his pocket better if not
his inclination, and he went to work.
Tobe Jackson was next on the
mourner’s bench. His fun cost him
just 85 and costs, aud the cash was
forthcoming.
J. J. Randall was also kindly al
lowed to contribute 85 ami costs.
Lewis Brown paid 85 and costs for
the privilege for being disorderly.
Steve Williams paid n similar
amount of a like offence.
Irvin Hall was let ofl with only a
fine of 8-’l and costs, and still lie
thought he was payiug dear for his
whistle.
Charley Crcy was fined 85 for fail
ing to obey summons.
Jim McCauley was also fined 85
for contempt of court, in
obey a summons.
In Memoriam,
Ilev. Hamilton W. Sharpe was
boru in Tatuall county, Ga., on the
10th of April, 1809,and died in Quit
man, Ga., on the 12th of November,
1890.
The writer of this uotico lias been
intimately acquainted with the de
ceased for many years, aud has had
excellent opportunities to study his
devout and estimable character. He
was a resident of Southern Ga. all
his life, and there are many witnesses
in this nnd adjoining counties who
stand ready to testify to his excellence
as a man, and his devotion and con
sistency as a minister of the gospel.
In early life ho movod to Lowndes
couuty, and established a mercantile
agency amongst the Indians, and the
few white setllers who then inhabited
this section of tho state. By fair
dealing and a constant display of the
charitaijo and chpstjan spirit which
always governed his actions, ho soon
won the confidence and esteem of his
neighbors aud built up for himself a
profitable business. He moved to
Thomaavillc about the year J855, nnd
while successfully carrying on his
own business, he was/ound constant
ly laboring for the Lord. Many
country churches within the bounds
of the Houth Ga. Conference have
been freely fed at his hands. While
living in this county ho was intimate
ly associated with such meu as Peter
E. Love, Edward Remington, S. A
Smitly and the lute Jas- T. Hayes.
In company with them, aud men of
that stamp, he labored diligently for
the good of the country. Ho filled
several offices of public trust, and
honor during this longnud useful life,
but while laboring for tho temporal
good of others, ho kept steadily aloft
tho standard of this Redeemer which
was ever the guiding star of his
actions.
Bro Sharpo lost his fortune by the
unfortunate culmination of the civil
war, and at his advanced age could
not redeem it. But. ho never lost
his faith in the goodness of God He
went down the plane of life, always
rejoicing and confiding in his maker.
He was a man of wonderful energy.
His extraordinary vitality kept him
longer upon the threshold of time
than falls to the lot of most men, and
this vitnl force of characler was freely
spent in trying to rescue the perisli-
Ile leaves behind him a wife, whose
devout character and marvelous piety
has won the admiration of all. She
and his children mourn not without
hope.
A good man has gone. Peace to
his ashes and may his reward he that
of the righteous man.
A Friend.
Thomasvillc, Ga., Nov. 17th, 1890,
Very Much Pleased.
Mr. E. G. Fisher, of C. M. Webber
A Co., a leading wholesale commis
sion house, of Chicago, accompanied
by his wife, are among the latest ar
rivals at the Clarendon. Mr, Fisher
will return to Chicago this morning,
hut Mrs. Fisher will spend the winter
in Thomasville. Mr. Fisher expresses
himself as charmed with his short
stay here, and promises to do some
good missionary work for Thomasville
on his return West.
An Eloquent Sermon.
A great many complimentary re
marks were heard on the streets yes
terday about tho eloquent sermon
preached at tho Methodist church by
Rev. W. J. Snively. His subject
was well chosen, aud was handled in
a masterly way. Quite a large num
ber attended.
THE TROUBLE ADJUSTED.
All Quiet in the Circus Camp
The trouble in the circus camp was
adjusted late Sunday night, and the
company proceeded on to Valdosta.
The differences were not between
French & Co., nnd other parties, but
between Mr. anil Mrs. French. Tho
latter held a note against her husband
for 84,000, nnd as their domestic
relations have not been happy lately,
Mrs. French came on to Thomasville
several days ago and employed aid to
collect the amount. A bill of injunc
tion was taken out, and for once
Sheriff Hurst lmd an elephant on his
hands. After considerable trouble
the complications surrounding the
show were compromised by Mr.
French placing 81,000 to the credit
of his wife, aud settling all the costs
of lawyers and court fees. Mrs,
French left for the North, aud the
circus proceeded on to fill their en
gagements elsewhere.
A Tribute to Col. A. T. McIn
tyre.
Tho following from the Quitman
Press is a graceful and timely tribute
to one of the politicians of the day
who is above reproach, aud whose
record is without a flaw.
“Every year or so for quite a num
ber of years it has been my pleasure
to greet Col. Tom McIntyre, Sr., oi
Thomasvillc one of the wealthiest men
in Soufh (.{eorgifl, |f nqt in the Stntc.
But 1 know him by reputation long
before I met him. In fact, such men
arc known far beyond the bounds of
their acquaintance. Col. Mein tyre
has seen a good deal of public life nnd
his record is a highly honorable one.
Thjs, coupled with the fact that he is
‘above’’ no one—rich or poor, if res
pectable—makes him widely popular.
I may as well tell you now as to send
you word later, that I have long wish
ed to see this grand citizen of South
ern Georgia in the governor’s chair,
He is lacking in no prerequisite for
the exalted position named and Geor
gia would honor herself in thus lion
oring him.”
Koch’s Paratoloid.
Riiq.iN, Nov. 10,—A large num
ber of foreign doctors went this morn
ing to Dr. Levy’s private laboratory
Prentzlaner Strasse, where Dr.
Levy exhibited a number of patients
cured of tuberoulosis. The iloersen
Courier states that there arc 1,500
foreign dootors already here. The
supply of Prof. Koch’s lymph has
been temporarily exhausted. Prof.
Koch has suggested that the remedy
he called “Paratoloid” in prescrip
tions to be handed to chemists.
It is stated that a bill lie presented
to the Reichstag, granting 1,000,000
mnrkcs to Prof. Koch.
Judge Thurman’s Acknowledge
ment.
Com mhi s, <)., Nov. 15.—Judge
Allen G. Thurman wishes to acknowl
edge, through the Associated Press,
the receipt of several thousand letters
and telegrams of a congratulatory na
ture, which he received yesterday and
last night from friends in all parts of
the country, anil to which he finds it
impossible to reply personally, He
sends greetings nnd assurances that
he never enjoyed better health or felt
more buoyant than he has since the
great banquet in honor of his seventy-
sevcnt.i anniversary.
The News hit tho nail on the head
in the following paragraph :
“Brer Dana may snicker at the
Hon Grover Cleveland’s rotund pro
portions nnd cavort around and shout
for the Hon. Davcy Ilill just as much
as he likes. But as long as the Don.
G. Cleveland stands in the presiden
tial, alley the lion. I). Ilill can’t get
by. He may just make a small geo
metrical calculation on that fact.
Cleveland got there first, and lie just
about snugly fills up the aperture.’’
Yes, Grover Cleveland is too large
for any one to pass him. lie is in the
lead.
I’urnor’s majority over “llrcr” Mat-
teson is between seven and eight
thousand. As Reed will not be speak
er of the next house ‘‘Brother” Matte-
son will hardly contest the seat;
though if Retd ruled Mattcson would
no doubt be given the place.
The modesty of Prof. Koch is as
great as his achievement. Ho says
his discovery of a cure lor consump
tion will not be turned to personal
gain, hut that it is given to the world
free. The new remedy is called
“paratoloid.”
Indications are for Mncb Colder Veatber
HOW ABE YOU FIXED FOR IT?
Mr. James Watt is having a splen
did nnd costly residence constructed
ou Ilnnsell street, next to Judge Han-
sell’s. Mr. William Miller is the
contractor, ami Messrs William and
Jack Moore subcontractors for tho
brick work. The plans are beautiful,
failing to j and when completed there will be few
I more elegant houses in the city.
Items trora the Quitman Press:
Cleveland wdl be the nominee ol
the Democratic party for the presiden
cy in 1892. Paste this in your tile.
On Monday last the Legislature re
elected Judge Hanseil to the judge-
ship ol the southern circuit for the
next two years. Well done, good and
faithful legislators.
Russell Harrison told a St. Paul
Globe man the other day that nobody
could rightlully lay blame for the
Republican defeat upon “pa’s ad
ministration.”
You’re right, Russell, your “pa” is
too small a man to have caused all
the trouble. True he contributed to
il to the exteut of his ability, but that
wasn’t much. _
The two houses will vote seperately
for senator to-day. With three in the
field, Gordon, Calhoun and Norwood,
the chances are that there will be no
election. Norwood’s strength, the bulk
of it, is likely to go to Gordon in the
end. And this will elect him.
If nil of Governor Nortlicn’s ap
pointments are as good as “Tip” Har
rison’s, he will make no mistake.
‘•Tip’’ is at home about the executive
department. There is not a more
faithful or efficent official in Georgia.
Gordon may get there to-day, hut
the outlook is that no choice will lie
made on the first ballot. However
the votes polled for Norwood, or the
bulk of them, will go to Gordon in
the end, and they will elect him.
Parnell is no longer the leader of
the Irish parliamentary party. That
divorce suit ot O’Shea’s did the work
for him. At least this is the most
reasonable construction to place ou
his sudden abdication.
Notice is hereby given that the J. II.
Gordon alliance has wil!\ Irawn mem
bership from W. 11. Walden.

The Times-Enterprisk will re

We work for trade earnestly. We
win public confidence by method*
that make every business transaction
entirely satisfactory to our patron*.
Wo can’t say anything more to the
point. We could, of course, elaborate
upou this subject and “spread our
selves ’ by reciting in glowing term*
the facts upon which wo base our
claim for patronage, but that isn’t
our style. These are substantial
truths, which arc made self-evident to
buyers, truths which our customer*
mid the public must appreciate.
"SNUG” CLOTHES.
We use tiie word "snug” in a gen
eral sense. We think it’s suggestiv*
of everything that clothes ought to be.
If a fellow feels “snug” in the gar
ments lie wears, then he’s satisfied and
contented. “Biz” made a lively jump
with us last week, and from present
appearances, will continue to increase
as the season advances. “THE WHY
AND THE WHEREFORE” is easily
explained, our counters and table* are
profusely stocked with the right sort
of goods at the right prices.
In gentlemen’s clothing we are

lected. Prices range from $3.50 to

IT’S TIME FOR YOU TO
