To those who read between the
lines the batch of pension applications
on file in the recorder’s office lose
their official stiffness, and are interest
ing chapters of the dark days. Chap
ters that are written in blood and
punctuated with widow’s tears. Every
one has a history. Tnere must be
some comfort iu knowing where a
loved one lies and treasuring h : s last
messages, but even this sad privilege
is denied to many as the countless un
known graves testify. The repoiter
happend ia Judge Merrill’s officeja tew
days ago while he was tilling out a
blank. An old lady was answering
his numerous questions. She was the
widow oi Private Bryant. Her bus-,
band had been one ot the first to gn-
list and go to the front with Captain
Curry’s command. That was in 1861.
He never came back. How he died
is not known and can only be surmis
ed. No last message ever came to
the waiting wife back in Georgia.
From a comrade now “crossed over”
it was learned that Private Bryant was
wounded on September t4t£ of the
following year. He was last seen ly
ing on the battlefield probably mortal
ly wounded. It was in Maryland.
Somewhere under the sod and dew he
has been sleeping these many years
waiting for the final roll call, when all
mysteries will be cleared away and
the parted united in eternity.

A Cigar Factory.
The manufacture of cigars, in a
limited way, has been carried on in
Thomasville for some time. These
experiments have proved successful
and rt munerative. Now wc are to
have a factory on a large scale. Mr.
Wm. H. Mitchell, one of our progress
ive young capitalists, with other gen
tlemen ot ample means, have com
pleted arrangements by which the
manufacture of cigars, on an extensive
scale, will be begun here within thirty
days. Mr. Mitchell has leased the
city hall for temporary use. The new
compaoy will erect buildings of its
own at an early day. The company
will employ fifty trained Cuban cigar
makers at the start. The force will
be increased as the demands of the
trade justify it. The new company
has ample financial backing and will
employ the best experts to be found
in the manufacture of cigars. They
will consume both native and Cuban
tobacco.
It is confidently expsc ed that this
factory will be followed by others at
an early day. This being the case,
Thomasville will become a great to
bacco market. Patties, planting and
raising the. weedwill find njarket for it
in ThomaSVflie. This’ is a pointer to
growers who may be hesitating about
planting again. A home market will
put the industry on a solid, paying
basis.
Ham.
This inmitable lecturer will be here
on the 6th. Everybody will go and
hear -him.
Probably no better idea of Colonel
Ham’a lecture could be given than ie
expressed ia this extract from the
Augusta Chronicle:
“It is a cyclone of wit and eloquence,
and comes roiling, pouring out with
impressive fury. There is only one
Ham. There may be others by that
name, but there is only one with all
the alphabet for his initials and all
the words in the language for his
stock iu trade. Indeed, he uses many
whose etymology may be somewhat
obscure, but whose force the most un
schooled can feel.
‘The jokes chase each other through
his speeches like greasy globules down
a pine plank, and when they reach
the point the crowd goes into hysterics.
Ham is inimitable. He is as full
of jokes as Dublin is of billygoats, and
he keeps the audience in a rear from
beginning to end.”

numerous about town. Not a day

Mr, R W. Glading, the hashing

turned from a trip to Atlanta- He
informs us that the Georgia mDitary

Why c«n't the people ot Thomas
county have a fair? Thero is' no
reason why she should not. Other
counties, scattered ail over Georgia,
hold furs, and they prove beneficial
to them. The fairs cause the farmers
to take more interest in their work,
and to look after their stock closer
They are also felicious social occasions.
A county fair association should be
organized. Hit ’er a lick, Bro. Trip-,
lett.—Southwest Georgian.
Thomasville would no doubt take
hold of the matter, it other towns,
and the oouuiry, would join. in the
move. What say our neighboring
towns and friends in the country
These occasions are green spots in the

passes but what several are seen beg
ging from house to house out on 'the
outskirts. Yesterday morning one of
these festive gentlemen went into a
house and acted in sucii a manner
that the lady of the house galled an
officer and had him arrested'. The
fellow was a strong, healthy looking
young man, but carried one arm in
sling, claiming to be suffering from
erysipelas. While in charge of the
officer he bellowed like a baby and
attracted no little attention from pass
ers-by, The sympathies oi two gen
tlemen were worked upon to such an
exten' that they chipped in a dollar
each. When carried before Judge
Alexander his honor administered a
good lecture, and with the advice abd
warning to leave town at once, let his
trampsh'p off. Tramps are too nu\
nacrous and we think if some of them
were given a term oa the gang they
would learn to keep Thomasville off
their list of towns w hen planning a
southern tour.
James G. Blaine.
The news of the death of Mr. Blaine
will be received with a sincere sorrow
throughout the country. The south
has always felt very kindly toward the
distinguished statesman. On more
than one occasion Mr. Blaine has
shown himseil a true friend of the
south. While narrow minded, bigoted
fanatics were howling for a force bill,
and devising means to still furfher
humiliate the south and injure her
people, Mr. Blaine stood out boldly in
opposition to all such measures. His
statesmanship was broad enough to
embrace and cover the whole country.
He went down to the grave a disaps
pointed man. More than once the
highest office in the government ap
peared to be in his grasp. But he
never reached it A.ike Henry Clay,
he was the idol of his party, and yet
that party failed to reward him with
the great office to which he aspired.
Mr. Blaine will live in history as one
of the most conspicuous figures in his
day and generation. The republican
party has lost its ablest and broadest
statesman and leader.

Bo far the testimony in the Watson
congressional contest amounts to
nothing. It has every appearance of
being a farce. Those of Mr. Watson’a
friends who thought that there were
grounds for a contest are disappoint

The Piney Woods had a very good
list of arrivals yesterday. The fol
lowing are among tho number: W.

Miss Florence Clark, of Chicago,
jho has been quite a social favorite
»r several seasons past at the Piney
Woods, arrived yesterday. Her
many Mends are glad to welcome her
to Thomasville again.
We referred the other day to the
importance of putting up sign boards
in the vicinity of the town, so that
strangers and others, when fracking a
cross roads, or a fork, could leli where
they were going. Take the boule
vard, for instance. There should be a
fingtr post at the interjection o( every
road running into it, or across it. It
would cost but a trifle to put up these
finger boards, and they would prove
very convenient. While on the sub
ject wo would urge again, a, we have
so o:ten in the past, that sign boards
shou'd be put up a'i over the county,
whenever needed. Mile posts and
sign boards at every lork of the roads
in the county should be provided for
the use ard convenience of bur citi
zens.
She—Why is it when doctors are ill
they never attend to their own cases?
He—I don’t know; but I should say
it was because they can’t charge them
selves for it.—Tid-Bits.
The Masury and Piney Woods
waiters crossed bats yesterday after
noon. It was arranged to play five
innings, but at the end of tho second
tho latter pulled out, and the game
was given to tho Masury team by
score of 9 to 0. Another match will
probably be arranged for this week.
A goodly number of-arrivals were
seen at the Stuart last night. Among
