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.

"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 Tribune. - 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 ions Mrs. Chisholm is made solo lega tee and executrix, and is not required to make any return to the ordinary. She is also allowed to dispose of the property at pleasure.
