Mr. Eugene Smith is the latest ad ditiou to the wheel brigade. He rides like an expert. A largo number of very fine melons were brought to town yesterday. The price is rapidly declining. Jim Groover makes a model Supe- rior court clerk. He is clever, accom- modating and efficient. Mr. Anton Wright has retained homo from Columbia, S. C., where he has been attending college.

Mr. W. B. Dukes, of Chastain, one of the leading young businsss men of South Georgia, was in town yesterday. The criminal docket will be taken up this morning.

The hearing of the case of the B. & A. road for a permanent receiver has been fixed for the first Monday in July- Groat quantities of LeConte pears ore beiug shipped yet. So far as have heard nil one has received re turns yet. Rertiur McIntyre has left his rail reading in Florida, and a foreman of the grand jury is discharging his duty as a citizen. Messrs. B. W. Stone and Olin Jhnstnin returned from 8t. Simons yesterday looking healthy but some what sun burned. Mr. M H. Connally, one of tho best known railroad men' in the coun try, is paying bis respects to the mel on growers in this section. There is no use to ask the question Is it hot enough for you?” The wilted appearance of everybody bean amplo testimony to this fact. Mr. E. P.'S. Denmark, of Quitman, one of the most prominent lawyero Brooks county, was in the city yes terday .attending Thomas Superior court. He is a Walker. Mr. Richmond, of Iowa, -is in the city aod paid our office a visit yester day morning. Mr. Richmond is a professioral sprinter, and came in to inquire^! any amusements were being gotten up for the fourth of July in Thomasville. He is anxious to have a race with somebody; whether for a long or short distance. He claims to have walked many races in nearly every portion of the United States. He walked with Ora Bart; of Cal ifornia, in New Orleans, in 1891, making a record of seventy-four miles in twelve hours. He has walked against Prater, the great Atlanta sprin ter, and says he trained J. W. Ford, of Macon, the champion walker of Georgia, He says he is willing to walk against any man in the United States .. except Ford. He excepts Ford on account of having trained him. Mr,., Richmond is very anxious to get up a. contest here lor the fourth of July.Suid Tom Bottoms says Thom asville will accommodate him if he has to iftilk against him himself. Whai’a the matter with someofThomasville’s fast walkers giving the gentleman from Iowa a chance to show what jhe can do? We dare say that Tom Bottoms or Walter Rennie would interest him on a short race, and we know that "Ginger” Pittman and Bob Evans would stay with him on a long one, "Ginger” would not be very far away When the walker Horn Iowa crossed the line. We hope some of the boys will enter the race just for the fun of the thing. There will be other amuse meats here on the fourih, why not have a walking match? Mr. Maxcy Ashley, of Valdoata, official court stenographer for the Southern circuit, arrived yesterday morning and is at bis desk in the court house. Is Thomasville in good sanitary condition? This is a critical time of tho year, and those who have the health of the town in hand should take no chances. Tho debris left by the fire on lower Jackson street does not add anything the good appearance or smell of that locality. It should be removed tho interest of sanitation. Col. A. T. McIntyre, who has been attending the annual meeting of the board of trustees of the State Univer sity, of which he is a member, in Athens, returned borne yesterday. . All Right Down Here. It is gratifying to know, while the West and some other sections of tho country are complaining about the stringency in the money market, that here in South Georgia the melon, fruit and vegetable shipments now being made are bringing thousands and thousands of dollars into the country. They come in at a dull season, jus- at a time, iu fact, when the circulating medium is most need ed. It. has been only a few years since when the farmer had little or no income from the sale of one cotton crop until the next was gathered and packed. This has been changed, and tho diversification of crops now re lieves the situation at a season of the year when every dollar talks and tells. We havo a great country down here. Our own peop'e scarcely appreciate its importance aud advantages. South Georgia ia the garden spot of the state, nay of the South. Stand by your section, be prudent, industrious and economical and your section will stand by you. When properly ap pealed to it always responds. Important to Dealers Who Pay Government Taxes. Here is something of interest to liquor dealers in the state of Georgia. All special tax stamps issued by the United States government expire on June 30. The tax as a retail liquor dealer is $25 per annum; as wholesale $100; as retail dealers in malt $so per an nnm, wholesale $50. Retail dealers in oleomargarine $48. II the dealers do not make returns by July 1st they are liable to criminal prosecution. There are two hundred retail dealers in the state. Any communication addressed to deputy collector of interna) reyenue at the following places would receive prompt attention: Dalton, Canersrille, Jasper, Cornelia, Gainesville, Augusta, Griffin, Newman, Albany, Brunswick and Atlanta.—Atlanta Journal. The business of the Western Union office in this city has increased until now there are five operators employed when formerly two did the work. The latest addition to the force is Mr. Mickler of Tampa, who arrived yew terday morning. Superior Court. Very Huhtbasinea waa transacted in the Superior court yesterday. The only case tried waa a suit of R. A. Mitchell against W. A. Davis. The case went "to the jury Just before twelve o'clock, but they did not agree upon a verdict until about dark, long after court adjonrned. The foreman has the verdict, bnt is not allowed to tell what it is until court meets this morning. It is known that one man huDg the jury for a long time, there being eleven fur one thing and one for another. The criminal docket will bo taken up this morning. The grand jury returned five in dictments yesterday afternoon, among which were the following against par ties now in jail: Antonia Chachon, the Cuban who killed another at the City Hotel on Saturday night, was indicted tor volun tary ^nuuulaughter. Willie Harris, colored, was indicted for assault with intent to kill. Thoe. Ferline, wife whipping. We had a pleasant call last night from Frank EL Stevenson, of Cin cinnati, traveling passenger agent of Pennsylvania Lines. There ia a through car leaving Sere every day via Louisville and the Pennsylvania Short Line for Chicago. It is the ■ante car that has been going to Cincinnati, which! has been chang ed to go over the above line direct to Chicago. This will be a great con venience to parties going to the World's lair from here. The "Can't Get Away*," are taking things quite philosophically. Home, after all, especially a cosy home in Thomasville. is the best place. Sometimes we are actually sorry for those of our friendjs who are of) at resort1; knowing that they are miss ing the comtorts of home, sweet home, and the soft breezes of this semi-trop ical clime. Movement of Melons. Notwithstanding the fact that tho number of cars of melons shipped this season ia far ahor‘ ,f what were ship ped up to a coi. mding date last year, the indicati -re that almost if not quite as mtrr^5'ill be shipped during the whole^ .tson aeon the year preceding. The present short age is accounted for by the backward ness of the season and the delay in shipping caused by the recent heavy rains. While'the acreage ia less than last year the yield is said to be better and will make up for the deficit in acreage. Yesterday was the heaviest day’s shipping of the season. In or der to transport the large number of cars loaded, four extra trains had to be run, and every man on this divis ion in the employ ot the road was out. The melon bulletin put up by the S. F. & XV. R’y only gives the shipments for the day previous and we could not learn last night how many cars were shipped yesterday There were fifty-six cars shipped on Monday. On the same date last year one hundred and seventy one cars were shipped. Up to and inoluding the lfiih 4GO cars have gone forward this year. In 1892 there were 886, Among other registering at the Stuart yesterday were: Messrs. E. N Rountree, Quitman; S. T. Nelson, Boston; J. W. Morris, N. C;D. F. Brown, Cairo; L. W. Collier, Atlanta; H. H. Whitworth, Tenn.; S. J. Jones, Atlanta; J. L. Reed, Chatta nooga, and J. W. Lamar, Monticello. Tom Bottom’s next excursion will bo on tho fourth of July, from Ala bama to Thomasville. Tom says if Thomasville will get up any kind of amusements for tho day be will briug hundreds of people here. No oue doubts Tom’s ability to get tho peo ple. How many teachers can you commodate during the session of the Peabody Institute, which will be held here in July? Notiiy Commissioner McLean or this office how many you will fake and at what price. There will be something like five hundred teachers in attendance. JJPaul Trammell got the plum. He was named as tho collector of inter nal revenue for Georgia yesletday. Turner started Clements in too late to win. Trammell, bad the endorse ment of both senators and nine of eleven representatives from Georgia. No We learn that Mr. H. M. Little, of Ochlocknea, shipped one of the finest car loads of iqelons yesterday that has ever gone over the S. F. & W. R’y. Watermelons are now moving with a rush. Growers, whenever possible, should soli on the track. It is, by far, the safest plan. Mr. H. B. McCormick, of Boston, has bought the bankrupt stock of M. Lsvine and will remove it to Boston, Mr J. 51. Wilkinson, of the Val dosta bar, was among the visiting lawyers in court yesterday. Yesterday showed the largest ship ment of melons up to date ibis sea son. Editor Hawk, of the Boston World, was in town yesterday. Keep in mind that lawu party on Friday afternoon. The woods are full of melon men. "Arc you going to take a rest this summer?” "Oh yes, I suppose so; io the usual way. “How is that?” Til take a vacation, and fish and hunt and put up with poor accommodations. Then i’ll come home and rest.—Wash ington Star. 5Irs. Cleveland and Baby Ruth left Washington this morning for Gray Gables, their summer home in Massachusetts, Tho {’resident did not go. THE Financial Outlook. Thu views of Banket* Clews have considerable weight when it comes to matters of finance, and now he sees a marked improvement in the tone of business in .Wall street mainly consequent upon the formal intimation of Pres ident Cleveland, that ho will call an EXTRA SESSION of congress in September nett. The tariff and silver, will, of course, be the main issues. It is expected that the session will be a tedious, and in nil probability, a stormy one. It is to be hoped that wisdom will prevail and the wrongs righted. In the mean time the people can count on otrr doing the right thing. DRY GOODS -AT- POPULAR PRICES that the juicy Kolb Gem ia plentiful one can almpat see the little darkeys grow. We noticed one little five yeer old fellow yeaterday whose circumference had doubled since the melon eeaaon opened. V The family of Mr. J. M, Shackle ford arrived yeaterday and have oc cupied the Jones house, oh the corner of Remington avenue and Hanaell street. They will locate here per manently. The "Jonea" and the. "Thomas” are the favorite melons in the market. They are both superior to the Kolb Gem. They on not good shippers on aooountof the thinness of the rind. A member of the grand jury said yesterday afternoon: "I do not know, of course, but the chances are that we will get through to-morrow.’’ s.s.s.
