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. II. II. Puri:, Sec. The Times-Enterprisk will re ceive to-day, at the earliest moment, after the ballotings in the house ami senate, the result of the struggle in Atlanta over the U. .S. Senatorship.
