Twenty-five years ago, yesterday, the 8th of October, the first passen ger train betwen Thomasville and Montlcello, Fla., was run, the con necting link of railroad between the |absence of May two towns being formally complet ed;* This was considered a great event in the history of the two towns and a number of Thomasvlllo people went down on this train. There were some also in the party who bad come up from Montlcello beforehand just to ride back on the first train run over the new road. The Times-Enterprise of that date contains an interesting account of the trip, the editor, Captain Trip lett, being one of the party going down on the first train. The train pulled out of the depot here on the morning of the 8th with engineer Joe Crovatt at the.throttle and conductor Will Forrester ready to punch the tickets. Assistant su perintendent Aveilhe was along in his special car and with him were Col. 3. T. Kingsbery, Col. Papy, S. G. McLendon. J. C. Reynolds, H. M. Reid, Win. Campbell and Major McLean, the contractor who built the road. Among the passengers were Mr. and Mrs. 3. L. Moore, Mrs. Kate Whitfield. Mrs. T. J. Wright, Misses Belle Mitchell, Essie Camp bell, Julia and Rosa Palmer.

The session of the City Council last night was Interesting, more than for some weeks past. In the Luke, Alderman McDougnld, as Mayor Protom, too! the chair. Colonel Hopkins, City Attorney, addressed the Council, stating that he desired to make some recoin men elutions or suggestions for their con sideration either now or at some later date. He first suggested th the town of Thomasville could g a new and commodious station from the Coast Lino by making appllca tion to the Railroad Commission and slating the true state of affairs. 1 believed that It was time to ma some definite stand on the matter, He advocated the extension of th city limits so as to include the re gion known as' the Pear Orchard i.i the southern part of the city where there are probably a couple of thousand negro resi dents. He further advocated extension of the limits so as to take in McLaughlin Heights and the pron- erty adjacent. This would mean a increase in the city taxes and in th appropriation for'' schools. The attorney believed the cit; ght to have nn accurate map of the sewerage system of the city. Also that the Clerk of Council should receive the dollar cost in cases which were tried in Police Court and dis missed. Fair Gets Appropriation. Hon. W. I. McIntyre and Mr. W. M. Parker appeared and asked that the city piake the same concessions towarcLUip Thomas County Farmers’ Fair as last year, namely, the con cessions for a Carnival and in ad dition a hundred and fifty dollars. They stated that they hoped to nr'-ke this nn unusual event with an air ship and other attractions if they could get the money. By a unani mous vpte this request was granted. Alderman Bennett introduced a resoletion endorsing the candidacy of Mayor Roscoe Luke for Congress and assuring him of the hearty goo’ wishes of the body and th? public xpression of their confidence in his ability to properly carry out the du ties of the office. The resolution was ordered In the minutes and un animously by a rising vote endorsed A. (’. li. Must Put in 2 More Alarms. The A. C. L. has completed tne hell system of gong alarm at the Broad street crossing. They had not installed one at the Madison or I)a.v- rossing and the Council ordered that they he asked to put them i« at these crossings also. This is for the safeguarding of the 'peo ple of the town ns the other two ossii.gs ar e as dangerous as that at Broad street and the installation could he made for very little addi tional cost. Another garbage cart will be add ed to the city equipment at the In stance of the Health Committee which reported that tin* amount had been Increased materially since th? screening ordinance had conn* into effect.
