The merchants Thomasville have prepared to absolutely give away fourteen hundred and seventy- five dollars in prizes. These arti cles, Including an automobile, a horse and buggy and selection of first and second prizes for five desig nated districts ate worth the inter- e>L of e\ery person in Thomas coun ty. The offer is an unprecedented one in tne history of contests of that kind in Thomasville. The contest is to he run on busi ness principles throuuhout. Tnere will not be tho slightest deviation from the stated rules and it would l»e unjust and unfair to request that any merchant vary from h?s agree ment, for all have agreed to abide he 1 strictly by the unanimously adopted j regulations. They are forced to i stick stYidly to them and it is the iu desire of those who are offering these | prizes that they be not embarrassed I with requests that have to be re- noted fused. \Ve hope to see a lively interest throughout the county. The pri mary purpose of the content is, of t-curse ,to bring trade to Thomas ville. The merchants have shown a disposition -to pay a healthy prem ium for that business? and whatever they get they are entitled to. The contest is open tc anyone and the more who enter the livelier will be Some girls must think that good»the Interest.

Well. 1 passed and went down into the native settlement, just outside of the wall. sual, all native shops are on the sidewalks. The streets are nar row ami dirty. A good many shops were closed, and on making inquiry, found that the stores that were closed, were owned by people wiio had left the city when war was de clared.

They have old-fash ioned rifles, made in 1S90, and the bullets are of lead and large. 1 tried to get one. but did not succeed. We then passed into the city. The streets are unusually wide for a na tive city. I was surprised at this fart, fob I have been in a tew native cities. We saw a good many sol diers, and passed quite a few bar racks. As we passed down the street, we saw a Red Cross flag, and my friend wanted to go and Inspect the hospital, as he was in that branch or the service.
