The Conductors’ Party Spend a
Half Day in Thomasville.
A special train of Pullman cars
arrived here at niue o’clock yes
terday morning from Tampa, hav
ing 011 board a party of conduc
tors, with their wives, daughters
and sweethearts. The people
with one or two exceptions, knew
nothing of their coming and were
not a little surprised when the
party, about 140 in number,passed
up Jackson street en route to the
hotels for breakfast. The Stuart
and Brighton Hotels were notified
the night before and had break
fast prepared for the party.
The party consisted of members
of the Old Reliable Conductors
Insurance Association, the mem
bership of which is restricted to
conductors, masters of trains, su
perintendents, etc. The annual
meeting of the association was
held in Memphis on the 25th of
last month, after which a large
number of them went on an excur
sion through Georgia, Tennessee
South Carolina, Florida and Cuba
They were on their return trip from
Cuba yesterday, having left Tam
pa the night before. They were
in excellent spirits and repotted
an exceedingly pleasant trip.
Alter the party had breakfasted
they took in the town, some walk
ing but most of them securing
harks and corriages. During the
few bours that the conductors re
mained here they saw almost the
entire town, and it is pleasant to
know that they were pleased with
the city. In fact, they were mor
than pleased. Many of them said
this was the prettiest and most
prosperous town they had seen in
the south. They were carried
away with our wide streets, pala
tial hotels,beautiful residences and
business houses, and they all pn
ounced this an ideal place for
winter home.
The party were in charge of
Mr. W. V. Lifsey, division pas
senger agent of the Plant System
who has been with them since they
strncK thePla- >r Jin at Charles
jijot Butt, one of the
s on the system,
haffof the train. The
conductors could not have fallen
into better hands than Messrs.
Lifsey and Butt.
The train bearing the party
pulled out at exactly one o’clock
for New Orleans, from which
place they go to St. Louis and dis
band.
Nearly every state in the Union
was represented in the party.
They were there from Maine and
they were there from Colorado
and even further west. The party
included many prominent railroad
people, people who ate known the
United States over, among whom
were Mr. R. A. French, superin
tendent of the Baltimore and Ohio
rsilroad; Mr. W. 0. Beckley, of
St. Louis, president of the Asso
ciation; Mr. Edwin Morrell, sec
retary of the Association; Mr.
John F. Keith, of Pitt-burgh,train
master of the P. and L. E. rail
road; Mr. Walter Hutchings, Ha
gerstown, Md., train master of
the N and W.; Mr. J. W. Camp
bell, of Columbus, 0., division
train master N and W.; Mr. J. K.
Calder, of Maryland; Mr.
J. H. King, of St. Louis;
Mr. Frank Champlin, Boone.

W. B. Chislet, Pittsburgh; Mr.
Richard Mathews, Toronto; Mr.
Ward Nichols, Now Haven; Mr.
A. Rosenhan, Marshall, Mo., and
many others whose uames we fail
ed to get.
About half the party consisted
of ladies, and of course they add
ed greatly to the pleasure of the
party. Among the most popular
ladies in the party were Miss
Israel and Mrs. Cockrell, of St.
Louis, and Miss Bowmau, of Ev
ansville. They were always the
center of an admiring group of
friends.
The party was a jolly, good-
natured one. They were out for
fun and they seemed to be havitig
it. When the train pulled out a
game of progressive euchre had
just been started in one of the
parlor cars. We regret that their
stay here was so limited. We
wish they could have seen more
of our little Piney Woods City.
Died, on Monday morning, at
3 o’clock, Mrs. Sallie Lewis Thom
as, wife of R. Thomas, Jr. Mrs
Thomas was the daughter of Mr.
George T. and Mrs. Margaretta
Barnes Lewis, of Tennessee. Her
mother, aged 83, lives at McMinn
ville, Tennessee. Three brothers
and one sister also survive her,
She leaves only one child, Mrs
Blanche Merrill, wife of J. Han-
se'l Merrill, of this city, who is the
daughter of Mr. H. R. Tarwater,
to whom the deceased was married
on the 24th of November, 1868.
Mrs. Tarwater, after the death
of her first husband, was married
to Mr. R. Thomas, Jr., on the
27th of October, 1885. She was a
devoted member of the Episcopal
church.
Coming to Thomasville a stran
ger, Mrs. Thomas soon won her
way into the affections and esteem
of all who met her. Gentle, re
fined and cultuied, she made
many friends who will sincerely
mourn her death.
Those who knew her best loved
her most.
All that the best medical skill
and tendcrest uursing could do,
was done to alleviate pain and
smooth her way through the valley
of death. A loving husband, a
devoted daughter and cherished
friends, watched while the pale
shadow of death gradually gath
ered around and enveloped their
loved one. The end came before
the dawn, releasing the spirit
which took its fight to a world
where there is no night and where
death is unknown.
She has gone home.
The funeral will take place
from the residence of Mr. J. Han
sell Merrill at 3 o’clock this after
noon. The interment will be in
Laurell Hill cemetery.
Right in time to suit the peop'e. We ring up the curtain
on our second week. An entire change of Programme.
Something more on the order of substantial* will bs the or
der of the week.
