The Drive To-morrow After
noon.
As will be seen elsewhere Mayor
Hopkins has extended an official in
vitation to (he citizen of the town, and
visitors, to celebrate the completion
of the splendid thirteen {pile circu
lar drive around the town, to-morrow
afternoon, by a general turn out on
horse bank and in vehicles, and a
.drive nroir,ul the boulevard. It is
ah important, and a substantial im
provement, and will add no little to
our already numerous and attractive
driyes in the vicinity of Thomasville.
The now part of the work, extending
from Mr. Sanford?, West to the Jones
bridge road, is not so good a3 it will he
made, but it is good driving ground
now. The work has been done under
the personal supervision of Marshal
Spair, and it has.bcen well done.
It is expected and hoped that the
Hussars, a representative, progres
sive set of gentlemen, will turn out
in uniform and bead tho procession.
Let the citizens of the town show their
appreciation of,the completion ot the
work, by turning out on the occa
sion.
Mayor Hopkins, last summer,
pledged himself to complete the boule
vard by the first of January,- 1891,
and he has redeemed his promise.
Its completion is due to his energy
and interest in adding this additional
attraction to Thomasville.
' Only Five Dollars.

branch colleges of the state to not
lore than 85 per session, ft
lould not forget this. They
how enter pupils at the South Geor
gia College for a full term for 65,

A Card of Thanks.
Wo wish to express, through the
columns of this paper, our thanks to
to tho good people of Thomasville for
their aid and sympathy in our recent
beravement.

The resolution introduced in the
city council last week by Alderman
Merrill to prohibit the issuing of li
cense to sell liquors within the fire
district, and which Was referred to a
proper committee, was withdrawn by
Mr. Meirill at the meeting of council
Monday night.
Miss Laura Jones will leave to

she goes to visit 5Irs. S. A. Peters
and family. 5Ir? and Mrs. Peters
have been living in Washington Ter
ritory up toa few months ago, when
tho failing health of their son, Char
lie, made it necessary for them to seek
a milder climate, and they moved to
Texas. Wo are very sorry to learn
that Charlie’s health is so bad, but
trust that he may pull through all
right.

et Agent of the E. T. V. & G. Ry.,
for one of the handsomest diaries for
1891 we have seen. It is nicely

Names With no Meaning.
"Brussels carpet h not raado in
Brussels,” said J. 51. de la Rive of
Brussels. “Nor is French glase mado
in France. French plate-glass, or
what is known to tho Amcricau trade
as French gloss, is all of Belgian
make. In Canada they call it Ger
man glass. I suppose these names
aro given because tho carpets were
haudled by dealers in Brussels, and
tho glass was first introduced in this
country by French Houses and in
Canada by Gormans.” — Chicago

Morton and Cloture.
Washington, Dec. 29.—The Post
says: “An intimate senatorial friend
of Vice President Morton said to-day
that the latter had not yet made up his
mind as to the course of action he
would pursue when the fight over the
cloture rule really began. He is, how
ever, just now an earnest student of
precedents. The Vice President, said
this senator, is in hopes.the republi
cans will hold another caucus and de
cide definitely upon the course of ac
tion they desire to pursue and the part
which they expect the presiding officer
to play in their programme.
Whether Vice President Morton will
consent to follow caucus dictation is
quite another matter, and he has thus
far given no evidence of his intention
to do so. While he is a republican he
realizes he is Vice President of the
whole country, and is not bound to
submit to, or even agree with the re
sult of the republican caucus. Neith
er does he feel called upon to lower
his dignity' by stepping down from the
clnir, and he will certainly not find it
convenient to take a trip to Florida, as
it has been suggc-i- d he might do.”
Judgo Chisholm’s Will.
The will of the late Judge Walter'
Chisholm was filed yesterday in the
court of ordinary. Under, ite provis

to make any return to the ordinary.
She is also allowed to dispose of the
property at pleasure. The estate is
quite large, but will not bo appraised.

Making Room for the Fair.
