The Thomasville Pamphlets.
The first installment of the 20,-
000, Thomasville pamphlets being
published in New York were re
ceived yosterday morning. They
are very handsomely gotten up
and were generally admired by
every one.
Visitors and others who have
addresses in the north or west,
and who would like to mail the
pamphlet, will be supplied by
calingat this office. Envelopes
are furnished also, and, like the
pamphlets, free. It is very de
sirable that the matter be sent
abroad at as early a day as practi
cable. Every merchant in town
doubtless has addresses to whom
they could mail a pamphlet. An
they should be sent where they
will do the most good. It is
proper, also, and not violative of
postal laws, to attach the name
of the firm or sender to envelope
or pamphlet. It costs two cents to
mail each pamphlet unsealed.

Thomasville is one of the best

There is always a lively trade here
in horses and mules. Not a week
goes by but one or more car loads
are brought here and sold. If our
people would raise their own stock,
pud there is no reason why they
should not, a great deal of money

Had I known that it was to bring

the evening, and all present speut
a very pleasant eveniug.
The wreck on the Alabama
Midland, a brief notice of which
appeared in yesterday’s paper,
has been cleared away and trains
are again running as usual. From
what we can learn the wreck
was similar to the one which oc
curred in this city a few weeks
ago, near the Madison street cros
sing. Several cars were thrown
from the track, and the baggage
and mail car badly mashed up.
No one was hurt except the colored
postal clerk, who had one leg
painfully bruised. Railroad men
say that it is remarkable that a
number of people were not injur
ed or killed, as the train was go
ing at a very high rate of speed
wheu the accident occurred.
Joe Bryant and Doc Bracewell,
two well known hotel waiters,will
give a cake walk and oyster sup
per at the Bower hall to-night.
There will be plenty of fun. A
buck dance will be given by
James Montgomery. The grand
march will be led by Alex Lisbon.
Every one is glad to see “Mitch”
-Jones at home. He will spend
some time here before returning
west. That section seems to agree
with him.
Dr. Perry McIntosh, who has
been spending sometime at Lura-
viiie, Fla., his old home, is back
in bis office again, fully recovered
from his late illness.
Ae will be seen by notice elso*
where Thomasville Lodge No. 369
wi*l meet at half past seven o’clock
to-night for the purpose of elect-
I iug officers.
A dispatch from|Valdosta says :
“One of the curiosities of this
section is a white deer owned by
Mr. VV. L. Thomas, of this city
Mr. Thomas received it as a gift
from a gontleman in Florida while
it was very young, and he has
raised it to become full size—lar
ger, a good deal than the ordina
ry deer.
“It is the only white deerknown
in captivity, though it is said
that others have been seen in the
wilds of Florida. There were
originally two of these, but one of
them was killed. Mr. Thomas
values this one above any reason
able price, though he has been
offered a good deal for it. It is
as white as snow with the excep
tion of a small brown spot on its
neck.”

Hall, an elderly wh ite
J. J.

fore the United States court. Hall’s
nephew, James Hall, from the
same neighborhood, was put un
der bond the day before for the
same offense. The two me n were

bonds and returned home yester
day afternoon.

There is no denying the fact that
Shoes have advanced this season, and we can assure you that
we are selling our leading standard brands of Geuts, Ladies,
Misses and Children Shoes at old Prices and quality, the same
as before. We only sell Shoes that we can warrant, end then
our prices are lower than others. Why not buy your Shoes
where you can save money P
Exclusive Shoe stores are a thing of the past. High prices they
charge have ruled them out of business. You go to large cities
and nearly everybody buys their Shoes from Department
Houses, large houses, that sell them, and why is it P Because
they sell for less money, and everybody tries to save money
these days. So, we assert to you, that we can save you money
on your Shoe purchases. Why not trade with us ?
