There gentlemen were on thrir way

wde, sprtui lastoearen in Thumaaville.
We are permitted to make ihe follow
ing extract from a letter written by
him ;u a irieud here:
“A» the odd weather with us con
tiuues, it make* me long for Thomas-
ville und the Sunuy South. We have
had zero weather for two weeks and
ihe ice has tr. zen about nine inches
thick. Tney will soon coiumence 10
cut it.”
Mr. Wright’s many Thomas ville
friends would be g.ad to have him
wit> them again this winter We can
at least promise him warmer Weather
and a still warmer welcome.

The Election Hatnrrday.
The election Saiunlay for Justice ot
the Peace and Constables was probaV
bly the quietest ever held iu the place.
There was no exdtement or entbusi
asm whatever. Judge Martin had no
opposition for Jostice, but there were
three 1 candidates for constable and
only two offices to fill, so ot course one
had to get'left. The following is the
remit: Marim, 160; Koltmio, 129;
'Ward, 143; Lasseter, 32. v •
Mrs Annie L Woodbery and lit

we are glad to.know that good medi

has greatly improved her physical

Judging from reports we get from
Florida, the Thomasviiie hotels are

that the hotel proprietors of Jack

AN ELECTION INCIDENT.
He Voted His Tax Receipt.
We were fbourn the other night, by
Mr. Colraan, the polite and efficient
cashier of the Pmey Woods, a map
of Thomasviiie and the adjacent
country for nine miles around. The
map is splendidly executed and would
do credit to the fiuest draughtsman in
the country. It was made by Mr. A.
I. Boynton, of Pennsylvania, wha is
a gue>t of the house, and shows the
various roads traversed by him during
the several seasons that he has spent
here. - Mr. Boynton is the gentleman
who made such a splendid bicycle
record here, which we published last
spring He is a great lover of his
wheel and ticarcely a day passes that
he does not add a dozen or more miles
to his record. There isn’t a public
road, country road or “cow trail 1
within a half dozen miles of the town
that he isn’t familiar with. At the
c!os# of this season we will endeavor
to secure Mr. Boynton’s record for
this year and lay it before oUr readers
A very, amusing scene took place
at the polls, while the election for
county officers was being held on
Wednesday. It was generally known
among tjie negroes that they were to
support the third party candidates.
At a mass meeting, recently held,
such a resolution.was passed. Very
few of the colored voters, however,
tell into line . Among those who
thought it was his duty to vote
“agin” the democrats was* ''no Allen
Fateh Allen laid aside hu secular
pursuits bright aod early on the
morning of the-election and started
on foot for town. Xhe distance to be
Covered was only six • miles, and he.
made it ,in good time. Now it had
come to Allon’a ears that a great
many names were on the tax books
as' defaulters, so. he armed himself
with his batch of tax receipts, so as tt
be prepared to “sling'’ hi* suffrage
During a lull in the voting, Allen
approached the polls with a third
party ticket in hi* hand.
What is your name?” asked Mr.
J. Hansell Merrill, who held the list
of defaulters in his hand.
“Allen Futcb,” replied the would
be voter.
Mr. Merrill rapidly glanced at the
Fs.
‘I challenge this vote on the
grounds of being a tax defaulter,’’said
Mr. Merrill.
Show your tax receipts, said ono of
the managers, to Fateh.
“Here they are,” said Alleo, pro
ducing several receipts.
‘You are down on the books as a
defaulter for 1884, Allen, and you
have no receipt lor that year,” said
the manager, after examining the
receipts.
“Well, I knows its at home, and I
go back and get it,” said Aden, and
off he put. He covered the twelve
miles, going and coming in about
three hours (pretty good time) and
again presented himself at the polls.
“Here it is,” said Alien ^ as he tri
umphantly showed hi* receipt for ’84.
“That’s all right,” said the manager,
“you are entitled to vote ”
Allen handed a folded paper to the
manager and in the box it went.
Turning about to walk off he opened,
as he thought, his tax receipt, when,
to his consternation he found it to be
the third party ticket which ho had
intended to vote. He had voted his
tax receipt: If everthere was a b'*nk
on a negro'* face, it was upon
Aden's
“Fob de lawd, it I haint done gone
and voted my tax receipt,” eaid he,
and his eyes fairly bulged out.
•See here boss,” said he, rushing
back. “Ise voted de wrong ticket.”
‘Can’t help tbat.’Vsaid the manager,
a man can’t vote but ouce.”
“But its my tax receipt,’’said Alien.
‘‘All right, come back to-morrow
when the consolidation i* made at d
will see that you get your receipt
back,” said the manager.
‘No v dat beats de debble,” said
Allen as he walked off.
It is needless, perhaps, to add that
Allen was on hand next day, and that
his receipt was taken from the string
and given him.
And that’s how the third party lost
one vote.
IN THE SOCIAL WORLD.
The Week Just Passed a Bril
liant One.
The Progressive Enchre ' Party
given by Mr. and- Mrs: J. Wyman
Jones at their charming suburban
home, “Elsoma,” on Thursday even
ing, was one of the most pleasant of
the many social gatherings daring the
season. Mr. and Mrs. Jones enter
tain royally and it is indeed cante for
congratulation to be numbered among
the fortunate ones to receive an in
vitation to partake of their hospitali
ty. There was quite an interesting
party present, among whom were:
Mr. and Mrs. J. Wi Paxton. Pol.
and Mrs. A. P. Wright, Jndge Hop
kins, Mist Faniie Hopkins, Miss
Moselle Hayes, Mr. 8. L. Hayes,
Mr. B. F. Schurmeier, Misses Lncile
and Hope Linton, Miss Susie Gerdine,
Mr. and Mrs. J. H Merrill, Dr. T.
M. Mela tosh, llise Emma McIntosh,
Mr, and Mrs. Geo H. Stone, Mrs.
W. E. Davies, Mrs. Jos. Jerger, Mr.
B. H. Wright, Mr. R. C. Dickinson
and Mr. Chas. Chapin. The prizes
were very handsome, being of sterling
silver. The first ladies prize was
won by Miss Moselle Hayes, the
second by Miss Gerdine,aod the third
by Mrs. Davies. The first gentleman’s
prize wa3 won by Mr. J. H. Merrill,
the send by Mr. Stone and the third
by Mr. Hayes. The choicest of re
freshments were served during the
evening, and Mr. and Mrs. Jones did
every thing to make the evening
pleasant. That they succeeded in
the broadest sense of tbe term goes
without saying.
Next Attraction.
The next attraction at the opera
house will be Mabel Paige, m “Little
Lord Fauntjeroy,” on Monday, the
151b tnst. “Little Lord Fauntleroy” is
one of the purest and best plays ever
written It is as good as a sermon.
It has only been played in Thomas
ville once, and we are confident those,
who saw it then wdl go again. To
those who have never seen the play
we cannoftoo-lughly recommend it.
You will m'ss a treat if you don’t see
it.
It is definitely stated, and
by au-
thorny, that Mr, Whitney will
not go
into the cabinet.

L’hese items from the Southwest
Georgian:
Thomasviiie was well represented at
the play, “ten nights in the barroom,”
last Friday night.
Dr. S. A. Roddenbery’s many
friends will regret to learn that he is
very ill. We hope to see him out
again soon.
Miss Dallie Weldon has moved to
Cairo, where she will conduct a first-
millinery bustnsss. Her numer
ous friends are glad to welcome her
here..
The Constitution thus speaks of a
prominent Nonh Georgian, who is at
present in Thomasviiie:
Hon. Seaborn Wright, of Rome,
was one of our visitors. His is
catchy figure and thousands upon the
streets make him a cynosure wherever
he appears. - He betrays in bis car 1 *
riage the savoir faire of a cosmopoli
tan, has the suggesure grace of a man
born to master public assemblies,
while his conduct is that of the suave
and chivalrous gentlemen. He is al
ways welcome by bis strong and ad
miring coosti’uency in Atlanta.

said, -‘to put up a hood of 310,000
not to countouancc the use of money
in my campaign except for legitimate
purposes in the way of printing and
advertising.’
'And I am ready to do the same
thing, Mayor McDonough,” repouded
Alderman Harmon.

agreement on this question, Alderman
Harmon,” said Mayor McDonough

rejoinder of the alderman, and here
