There is not one hen-pecked man in Thomas* llle—there are one hundred. The youni Turks want to have a try at war now that the old t'mers hare so miserably failed. A suspender Tactory failed last week. Couldn't hold up under the •train of belt competition. Chicago oandiates are peeved (?) because handshaking and kissing of babies hae been absolutely forbidden them. The people of Thowasville have every reason to feel proud of the aehievemnt of several of the pro gressive c’tizens of the town when they rebuilt and perfected the Tosco Hotel. These gentlemen have iu- . hied a larie amount of money in a hotel, they have equipped it with the most modern and comfortable conveniences; they have given Thom- asville what it lias not had since the Piney Woods, a splendid, commod ious and convenient place for visi tors to stay. It Is gratifying to note that this was done solely and alone by young business men of the city. They have undertaken a tremendous job, in making this investment pay and they should have the co-opt ration and assistance of the people. We SENATOR JOHNSTON WORKED ON THE FIRST ISSUE OF TIIE TIMES. Senator Johnston, recently ap pointed from Texas, worked on the first issue of the Thomasville Times.
