That Flag.
There appears to be some un
certainty about the original own
ership of the confederate flag
recently found in Cincinnati. It
is claimed that the flag belonged
to the Oglethorpes of Savannah,
while many say it belonged to the
Ochlockonee Light Infantry of
Thomas county. After noticing
the claim of the Oglethoipes, the
News says:
‘ In the meantime Capt. Spal
ding Paine, of Way cross,formerly
of Thomasville, and a member of
the Ochlockonee Light Infantry
read an account of the ftndiug of
the flag. He wrote to Capt.
Clarke, who had the flag in pos
session, that he was almost sure
that it belonged to his company
and was presented to the Ochlock-
onee Light Infantry by his wife
when she was a young lady, just
before the breaking out of the
war. He desired to get possession
of the flag, but it bad already
been sent to Savannah
'It is rather a singular coinci
dence that two companies whose
initials are the same, should have
had flags stored in Savannah at
the close of the war, and that thir
ty years later the ownership should
be in doubt. It will bo a very
easy matter after the flag has
been inspected to determine
whether it belongs to the Ogle-
tborpes or not.”
Hon. Robert G. Mitchell says
that Col. Young deposited just
such a flag as is described with
some firm on the Bay when the
Ochlockonee Light Infantry !•
Savannah, and he is satisfied that
the flag belongs to the company
from this county.
An Enjoyable Entertainment.

A Breezy Time.
Fitz & Webster’s Breezy Time
Company played to a small audi
ence in the opera house Tuesday
night. A Breezy Time is a farce
comedy, so the programme said,
but we doubt if any who were
there detected the slightest trace
of a p'ot. It is simply a vaudeville
entertainment and consists entire
ly of a series of specialties, some
of which were very clever and all
of them laughable. Tho cast is
composed of eight or ten people,
all comedians aud mus’eiaus, and
some of them are artists in their
lines. The tramp was especially
good, as v ere also the contortion
ists, and the Trilby burlesque was
exceedingly amusing. The music
and singing was fair. Taken as
a whole the show is about up to
the average of its kind. They
went from here to Valdosta and
we understand that the manage
ment expect* to play hero again
later in the season.
The Plant System is now en
gaged in putting down sixty
pound rails in place of the fifty
pound ones now in use between
here and Bainbridge. A train
load of tho new steel rails left
here yesterday morning for Bain-
bridge. There are several places
of short distances on the Plant
Systom that still have light rails,
but these are rapidly being re
placed with heavy steel rails. We
understand that several of the
large new passenger engines
which the Plant System have had
built recently will soon be put on
tbis end of the road.
Tbe list of registered voters ap
pears on the third page this morn
ing aud will vo doubt be read
with interest by many.
Mr. S. G. McLendon returned
yesterday from an absence of sev
eral days on business for the Plant
System.
Sad Death.
Mr. Charles Heft,, of Louisville,
died in this city yesterday morn
ing after a long illness. Mr.
Heft spent last winter in Thom
asville and left here late in the
spring feeling as well as he ever
did in hie life. He gained thirty
pounds while here and was the
very picture of health and
strength. He went from here to
San Antonio, Tex., and while
there contracted a severe cold
from being caught out in one of
the “northers” peculiar to that
country, which went into pneu
monia. As soon as be was able
to travel he came back to Thomas
ville, hoping to again recover his
health and strength, but his lungs
were too badly involved to be
benefited by our climate and af
ter lingering a few weeks he
passed away yesterday morning.
His family were notified of hie
condition and his sister arrived
Tiitsday afternoon, and was with
him when the end came. Mr.
Heft was quite well known here
and had many friends who will
be pained to learn of his death.
The remains were carried to Lou
isville on the two' o’clock train
yesterday for iuterment.
