KID GLOVES
Af.er next Monday Mayor Hopkins
will poise the scales of justice in the
police ciurt. He is a terror to evil
doers as all who have been before him
.will testily.
This is the season to exercise an
unusual degree of care about fire*.
Two or three serious burnings have
already occurred. These should
prove a warning to the careless.
Mr. b. F. Hawkins potled a very
complimentary vote. His friends
stood by him with ptrfect loyalty and
he is, no doubt, gratified at the liberal
support he received. Such support
blunts the sting 6{ defeat.

FIRE AND WATER.
A Tramp’s Exciting Race for
Life at the Railroad Yards.
He was so seedy. and traveled
st&iiT.d from crosslie exercise that the
yard men, who look upon tramps and
tarantulas as in the same category,
would have rebelled against his ad
mittance to their circle around a
cheerful fire, bad not the night been
bitter cold. The man was almost be
numbed, and in his endeavor to thaw
out, hovered over the blaze until his
rags became ignited. He discover*
ed the fact about as soon as the otb*
ers, but. did not faint or call for help.
Instead he proved himself a man of
action. Some distance op the track
was the reservoir, where the engines
take water. Like a meteor in * the
night the traipp sped. Bit blazing
coat-tails leaving a trail of sparks be
hind. It was a race for life, and he
got up and dusked as never a cop
had caused him to get. The fellow
was well iilaminated as he gained the
tank. Grasping a cord that throws
on the lever, a perfect deluge follow
ed. Down in the icy water be rolled,
and the flames were soon quenched.
But the railroad men have not quite
decided yet, whieh of the two extremes
they would have chosen—the fire or
that cold water.
Another one He«rd From.
The following notice oi Thomasville
is taken from the Rock Couaty Ban
ner, published at Clinton, Wis.:
Arrived at Thomasville, a town of
4000 inhabitants, Situated in the
southwestern parr of Georgia about 50
miles from the Gulf of Mccico, on'
Monday -morning, December istb.
This place is a popular, health resort
for northern people, and many wealthy
men have built there winter residences,
returning to ibeir homes for the sums
mer. This is also a great country for
pears and watermelons, car loads be
ing shipped each year to the northern
cities. Here are four very fine hotels.
At the Stuart we were banqueted, for
breakfast and dinner going from there
10 the Masury in the evening for re
ception and banquet supper. The
other hotels are only for the accom
modation bt winter tourists and are not
opened until at.er the holidays. Car*,
riages were provided u» for a drive
about town and into the country where
we found good farming land with plen
ty of fruit.

And now the policemen are in a
fever of anxiety. The city council
will elect a new force next Monday
afternoon. Some of tbe boys are
quite shaky over their chances at

Progressive Euchre.
The first progressive euchre party
of tbe season at the Piney Woods
came off last night, and it was a most
interesting and entertaining one.
The players were full of animation
and vivacity, and the playing
throughout was spirited. Tbo prizes,
as usual, were very handsome, em
bracing silver novelties and brie a-
brac of a very fine order. The re
freshments served by the manage-
meat of the house were choice and
delicate and added no little to the
pleasure of the evening- Like all
the social affairs at the Piney Woods
the euchre party last night was a
decided success. The following par
ties participated in the playing:
Mesdames Stotesbury, Hostetler, Tew,
Swart, Jerger,Davies, Ely, Chadwick,
Bjyce, Patterson, Loose, Nichols,
Misses Nelson, Kaufholz, and Messrs.
Stotesbury, Hoetetter, Brintou,
Ewart, Jerger, Davies, Hart, Cadigar,
Nelson, Kerr. Hebard, Col man, Blair
and Dr. Colton.
Below will be found the official
vote sa cast in the eleetion Tuesday
for Mayor and Aldermen. The con
test was a friendly one on all sides,
The re-electien of the old board is a
high compliment, and a just tribute
to the gentlemen composing the
board. It is an endorsement of the
faithful manner in which they have
discharged their duties by the citizens
of the town, by the men whom they
have been serving. The tax payers
and property holders have said to
them: “Well done, thou good and
faithful servants." Ia their 'election
some good, men were, necessarily de
feated, men who, had they been
elected, would have served the (own
well and faithfully. The large vote
polled for Mayor elect Hopkins if
an endorsement of his former able
administrations and evidences tbeiact
that the people favor bis return to
the position which he has several
times filled before. Hr. Hawkins,
his opponent, is a young man with*
bright future and can stan£ defeat.
He is not the man to be sqnrsd by
the result oi the election.
In justice to several gentlemen who
received very light votes it is proper
to state that they were in no sense
candidates. Friends took the liberty
of patting their names on some oi
the tickets. Four hundred and forty-
four votes out of a registration list of
five hundred . and thirty oat were
polled. f
At 5 o’clock sharp, Marshal Spair
declared the polls closed. A large
crowd lingered about the place for
two hours waiting for the conat to
dose. A few minutes after seven
o’clock the count was completed.
And this is the official vote:

As will be seen try rcferet.ee to the
council proceedings, which appears
elsewhere, the mayor's salary for 1893
waa fixed at $600. This is the same
as it was last year. In this connecs
tion it may not be amiss to give pub
licly to the opinion we have heard
expressed by many of our citizens to
the effect that the chairman ct the
street committee should receive some
compensation lor his services The
duties of mis office are such as to re
quire a great deal of one’s time. We
venture to say Mr. Stephens, who
held this position last year, devoted a
great deal more lime to his official'du-
tics than he did to hia private' affairs,
and it is the opinion of many that the
town should not impose so heavily
upon the time of one of her officials
without in some manner compensat
ing him. We hearty agree with the
opinions above quoted and hope the
new council will consider the matter
and chang: th: present order of
things.
We beard yesterday of a hog being
captured in the river swamp a few
days ago thntwas marked by old Uncle
Jack Hurst in 1870. This -would
make the hog twenty two yean old,
which ia a most remarkable ago for a
hog to attain.
Mr. Fearo Butler returned yesterday
Irom Savannah, where he has been ah
tending United States court for the
past week. Mr. Butler saya it waa
snowing when he lelt there. The
ground was well covered and the air
was full of dying flakes.
Quite
number ol Northern gentle*
men were interested spectators of the
scenes about the polls yesterday.
They appeared to enjoy a Southern
election, They sav, as they wonld
see here at any election, every man,
white and colored, voting tree and un-
tramelled.
Moultrie Items.
The railroad will soon reach town,
and then the place will boom sure
enough. By going down to F.dcock,
the court and lawyers can reach Moul
trie by rail at the spring term.
Street lamps are to. be put up.
Marriages are of frequent occur
rence. That’s a healthy sign ol pros
perity.
The Burner grows brighter and bet
ter. It ought to be well sustained.
This is in the last issue ol the Ban
ner:
Moultrie has the champion egg
eater ol this portion of the state. He
devoured 43 eggs at a recent sitting
with the greatest easy, and cou’d have
accommodated a couple of dozen
more without any trouble whatever.
Bob Balfour returned last night from
a duck hunt down on the lakes. He
reports that on Tuesday morning the
Fonshallie lake was frozen completely
over, the ice being over halt an inch
thick. This lake ie quite a large
body of water,, and was never known
to freeze over before.
Mira Pearl Tilton, the accomplished
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. M.
Tilton, of the Mitchell House, who
has been attending school in Boston,
Mass., arrived yesterday and will
spend the winter with her parents in
this city, Mias Tilton’s numerous
Thomasville friends are pleased to aee
her again.
Mr. J, T. B. Collens and wife, of
Bayonne, N. J., arrived yesterday.
They will spend the eeaaon at Mr.
MacFarliaa’s winter retreat in the
country.’ Mr. Collene comes south
to recuperate from a long seige of
nervous prostration. He was here
last winter and hia wonderful feats
with the rifle will be remembered by
many.
A local newspaper ia often accused
of bias in regard to giving personal
notices commenting on the coming
and going of some and omitting
others. The accusation is entirely
wrong and unjust. It is with the
people and not the editor. He is
always willing and even anxious to
tell who comes and goes, if he can
find ont; but a country piper cannot
afford to have a score of salarivd re
porters. If yon have visitors, let ns
know wh > they are and where they
come from; if anything happens in
your community, let us know about
it; if you get married, let us know the
names of your guests; if you know
anything tell us about it. You will
find ns as ready to notion one as an,
other, patron or otherwise, friends or
foes.
Contests the Election.,
The justice of the peace eleetion at
Cairo has gone into the eonrls. It will
be remembered that the oonnt was
very close. Z. E. Horton was the
third party candidate and J. N. Bar-
row for the democrat!. Norton was
found to have one vote majority. Mr.
Barrow, however, declares -fraud.
Notice of contest has been served on
Mr. Norton. The evidence will h*
heard before Jndge Alexander of the
county court Saturday. Hammond
A Hammond represent Mr. Barrow.
Norton w«s in the city yesterday get
ting op evidence.
Baptist Bazaar.;
The ladies of the Baptist church
are making preparations to hold a
bazaar for the benefit of that chnrch
on the 8th and 9th of February. It
will probably be held in the Linton
store next door to.Mia Laura Jones'
millinery store We hope the ladies
will be liberally patronised as the
object oi the bazaar ia a moat worthy
one. The proceed) will go to the
bnildiog fund of the new church.
Well, someol the boys got left.
This, however, is usually the case
all elections.
They Like It.
The following we take from the
Lake Geneva, Wia, Herald of last
week:
'Mr. Alvan E. Tyler and family a
few weeks ago went south for the
winter. They went first to Thomas
ville, Ga., and like it so well that
they art there still. Mr. Tyler writes
to ns saying: “I am a thousand times
obliged to yon for influencing mo to
come here with my wife and brother.
We have found it all and more than
yon said.- All of which ia very grat
ed; one, whieh the late editorial
excuraionitta remember with pleasure.

Notwithstanding the disagreeable
weather yesterday quite a number of
local sports drove down 10 Ohatley
Davis’ to see the cock fights which
had been arranged to come off there
that day. It was a tilt between Geor
gia and Florida chickens and Georgia
came out 00 top. Out of the six fights
fought Georgia whipped five. Of
course our boys came back with an in
creased amount of filthy lucre.
Two typographical errors in the fig
ures giving the mult of the election
yesterday morning, were apparent to
the intelligent reader. The figure 9
in Mr. Jerger’s vote did not print, giv
ing his vote at _88, when it should
have Keen 988; and the 4, the last
figure in Dr. Culpepper's vote, failed
to show up plainly, making hia vote
