Painfully Hurt.
Mr. John C. Vaughn’s numer*
ous friends will be sorry to learn
that he was quite painfully injur
ed on Wednesday night by being
knocked from the top of a freight
train. The accident occurred at
or near Pidcock. Mr. Vaughn
who is a brakeman, was on top of
one of the cars, whon he was
struck by the spout to the water
tank and knocked off. The fail
was a pretty high one and it is a
wonder he was not killed. As it
was he sustained very painful in
juries, his shoulder being dislo
cated. He was brought here and
Dr. McIntosh, the railroad physi
cian, called in. He was given
the proper medical attention and
yesterday was resting easily. We
hope to see him out again soon.
A new schedule will go into ef
fect on the Plant System next
Sunday. It is said that the
changes will effect very little the
trains leaving and arriving in
Thomasville. Trains 57 and. 58
will carry after that date through
sleepers between Jacksonville and
Chicago and St. Louis, passing
through here. This will give
Thomasville a through sleeper
from these poiuts, which, with the
Cincinnati sleeper now running,
and the New York sleeper which
will be put on about January 1st,
will make four through 'sleepers
from the north and weit per day.
It is said that a new train will be
put on between here and Atlanta
also, thus giving us a chance at
the travel from that direction. It
is expected that the proposed train
will leave here about 8 p. m. and
arrive in Atlanta early next morn
ing, and returning ir.ave Atlanta
about 7 p. m. and reach Thoraas-
ville next morning about 7 o’olock.
This train will carry a sleeper.
With these railroad facilities
Thomasville should have the
largest crowd in her history this
winter.
Judge Hopkins was expected
home iast night from Atlanta, but
did not arrive. He will come
to-night.
There was a steady demand for
Thomasville pamphlets yesterday.
They are being mailed by the
hundred-
Parties having the address of
northern peoj le should mail them
a pamphlet.

come and see us. We will save
you money.

That Xmas is only Two Weeks Off
And to say that we have an abundant amount of useful arti-
tiele-3 needs only the “I” of the most skeptical to assert to
this fact. But in
We are particularly partial until then; for we find ourselves
with too many suits of certain styles, and will offer some in*
ducements in prices to unload them quickly, aud you can
rest assured that when we say a cut in prices it can be relied
on.
To our visitors: If you do not
see what you want, call for it.

Holiday shoppers were out in
