fourths of the surface, will be
larger than that of years. The
earth will enter the moon's shadow
a few minute's before 8 o’clock,and
it will be 10:80 before it emerges
into tho full brightness of tbesiin-
rays. Get your smoked glass

fondest wishes will be realized.
A Liberal Proposition.
We find the following special in
a late issue of the News sent from
Waycross:
■The Southern Telephone and
Telegraph Company, it is under
stood, will donate a considerable
portion of funds for the building
of a bicycle path along its lines
between Thomasville and Savan
nah, provided Thomasville, Bos
ton, Quitman, Valdosta, Waycross,
Jesup and Savannah will contnb
ute to the scheme. The various
towns and cities along the lines
will no doubt discuss the feasibili
ty of the scheme and appoint
committees for the purpose of
raising subscriptions for the path.
Tie wheelmen all along the line
will no doubt be pleased to learn
that the steps are likely to be
taken at once for the perfection of
the scheme. The path would he
about 220 miles long and would
be a great boom to wheelmen."
We hope the question will bo
taken up by those interested along
the lino, and active steps be taken
to make the improvement sag-
gested.
/Motion's Big Coal /Movement.
The friends of the Monon Route
aud especially those of My. R. W.
Gladmg, the local agent of the
road, will read the following
taken from the Louisville Courier
Journal, with intorept:
'The Monon is doing a bigger
freight business at present thau it
has done for months past. Every
car it has in stock and every car it
can possibly lay its bauds ou is
being pressed into service to move
coal. The officials of that road
were shrewd enough some weeks
ago to prepare for the quick
handling of coal, which they
knew would be necessary should
the coal strike become goneral.
They therefore held back all the
cars they possibly could, but eveu
at that they have found their
rolling stock inadequate to han
dle tho business. t
"Mr George K. Lowell, General
Superintendent of the road, has
been in the city for a week look
ing after the interests of.the road.
The company- has handled from
150 to 200 car loarde of coal a day
out of Louisville and Cincinnati.
They are loading day and night
for shipment to Chicago and way
points, and still the demand for
coal so far exceeds the supply of
cars that the road finds it difficult
to. keep up with orders. The
pleasure has become so great that
ordinary freight cars are being
used to carry the coal. It is dif
ficult to get cars from other roads,
because they, too, are husbanding
their rolling stock against the
emergency."
At the home of bis parents
Dawson street,"in this city, abou
midnight Monday night, Damon
son of Mr. andjMrs. B. Edwards
aged sixtedh ysars.
The young man was quite well
known aud universally popular
with his acquaintances, and his
death is very generally deplored
He had beed confined to hie bed
just two weeks, and although
attended by tbo best of
medical skill and tender nursing,
the ravages of-disease could' not be
stayed and be passed quietly
away at the time above stated.
The bereaved family of tbe de
ceased have the sincere sympathy
of the entire community in their
affliction.
The funeral will take place from
tbe residence at 5 o’clock this af
ternoon.-
Contract Let.
General Manager Davidson .is
going to keep things moving so
far as be is concerned. He let
the contract yesterday to Mr
James Gribben for the main build
ing which will be erected on the
fair grounds.
Hie plans were described in
these columns the other day.
Mr. Gribben has ordered tbe
necessary material for tbe build
ing and will soon be at "work.
In this connection we under
stand that the committee oh loca
tion will probably act td-day, atul
then the way will be clear for all
the necessary work to begin.
Funeral Notice.
The friends and acquaintances
of Mr. B. Edwards aud family aro
invited to attend tbe funeral of bis
son, Damon, from tbe residence
011 Dawson street this afternoon,
at 5 o’clock. Interment immedi
ately after in Laurel Hill ceme-
tery.
Quitman Defeated Eufaula.
' Mr. Brux’s boyB who passed
through here day before yesterday
en route to Eufaula, played a
game in that city yesterday and
won by a score of 7 to 8.
Mr; W. J. Haylow, master of
transportation of tbe Plant Sys
tem, has gone to Michigan with
bis family. After remaining in
the lake state a short while he will
leave his family there for tho
summer end himself go to the
eastern provinces of Canada on
busiuess connected with his office.
—News.
The concert on Levy’s corner
late yesterday afternoon by tho
colored band of St. Augustine
drew a large crowd and was
greatly enjoyed, l’hey rendered
several beautiful selections, aud
rendered them in a truly artistic
manner. There are few better
bauds anywhere than this one.
The ball game at Athletic Park
yesterday afternoon between the
colored clubs of Thomasville end
St.' Augustine was one of tbe
most amusing ever witnessed ou
these grounds. Thomasville won
easily, leading the visitors quite
a number of runs in tbe sco-e.
In case war should ensue with
Spain, tbe Thomasville Guards
would probably be ordered to
Cuba, from St. Simon.
