estate on the market in the vicinity
of the town. It will be sold for cash.
Here is a ran opportunity to make
an investment in real estate which
must necessarily increase in value.

Ham in Savannah.
The people of Savannah are to have
a treat Friday n-ght in the appearance
of that unique humorist, H. W. J.
Ham of Gainesville. Mr. Ham is a
well-known figure in Georgia. He
has made repu ation as editor of the
Wanenton Clipper and Gainesville
Eagle. He is a writer of vigorous En
glish and a man of original views. In
terse and epigrammatic Engl'sh he is
a rival ot that other Georgia wonder,
Sam Jones of Cartersviile. Air. Ham
has twice represented Mali county in
the general assembly, aud as a stump
speaker he proved a power and a sur
prise. His crusade against the third
party in the last canvass was a lumi
nous path of irony, of ridicule, and
smart sayings. Ve was induced to
speak in several states of the union,
and his appearance in New York tick-
led Tammany to death, and gave the
New York Tribune a bad quarter of an
hour. As a lecturer Mr. Ham
‘draws” well, He wit. speak to a lull
house in Savannah.—Savannah Press.
Mr. Ham will lecture in the opera
house on the evening of the 6.h of
February. Aud he will draw a full
house. His description ot the “Geor
gia Cracker” is very catchy. Ham is
a born genius. We bespeak for thia
coming Georgia Cracker, a full house.

At The Willows.
The dancing party at the "Wil
lows,” on Thursday evening, waa one
of the most enjoyable social events
that has taken place in this city dar
ing the present season. It was given
by Mrs. T. J. Young in honor of
Miss Nettie Rudd, one of Monticello’s
most' charming yonng ladies. The
“Willows” is an ideal place for an
affirir of this kind, and with Mrs.
Yonng and accomplished daughter,
Miss Mec, as hostesses, the hoars flew
by on rapid wings. Tbe choicest of
refreshments wen-served daring the
evening, which contributed no little
to the pleasant and enjoyment of
the occaaion. With muaie, mirth
and dancing the merry party passed
the fleeting moments on til a late
hoar, and when the time arrived to
bid each other "good-night and pleas
ant, dreams,” the parting words were
spoken with a feeling of regret that
the evening so pleasantly spent at the
Willows” was among the pleasures
ot the put.
The following parties were present:
Mrs. T. J. Yonng, Mrs. JT8 Clifton,
Mrs. J. H. Merrill, Mia. M. Beals

A Cigar Factory.
The manufacture of cigars, in 'a
limited way, has been carried on in
Thomasville for some time. These
experiments have proved successful
and r< munerative. Now we are to
have a factory on a large scale. Mr.
Wm. H. Mitchell, one of our progress
ive young capitalists, with other gen
tlemen ot ample means, have com
pleted arrangements by which the
manufacture of cigars, on an extensive
scale, will be begun here within thirty
days. Mr. Mitchell has leased the
city hall for temporary use. The new
company will erect bnildiogs ol its
own at an early day. The company
will employ fifty trained Cuban cigar
makers at the start The force will
be increased as the demands of the
trade justify it. The new company
has ample financial backing and will
employ the best experts to be lound
in the manufacture of cigars. They
will consume both native and Cuban
tobacco.
It is confidently expcc ed Jhat this
factory will be followed by others at
an early day. This being the case,
Thomasville will become a great to
bacco market, faiths planting and
raising the weed will find market for it
in Thomasville. This is a pointer to
growers who may be hesitating about
planting again. A home market will
put the induslry on a solid, paying
basis.
We referred the other day to the
importance of putting up sign boards
in the vicinity of the town, so thit
strangers and others, when reaching a
cross roads, or a fork, could tell where
they were going. Take the boule-
yard, for instance. There ahould be a
finger post at the intersection of every
road running into it, or across it. . It
would cost but a trifle to put up these
finger boards, and they would prove
very convenient. While on the sub-
ject we would urge again, a: we have
so Oiten in the past, that sign boards
should be put up a’l over tbe county,
wherever needed. Mile posts and
sign board sat every fork of the roads
in the county should be provided for
the use at d convenience of our dti-
sens.
Dropped Dead.
Lurenda Gibson, a well known col
ored women, dropped dead at her
home on upper Madison street Sun
day evening at six o'clock. Paralysis
was the cause. She had had a pre
vious stroke. The woman was about
forty five years ol age. The colored
Aid Society, oi which the deceased was
a member, cooducted the funeral yes-
terday afternoon. .
Business seems to be good with ilr.
J. S. Clifton, the live carriage dealer,
as he sold a hunting wagon and dou
ble harness on last Saturday, and a
top boggy and harness to Mr. Kent,
ot Boston, and on yeelerday he cold
two nice buggies and harness to Capt.
Alagood and A.;Bannister, of Miegs,
as welt as a fine road cart and hare
ness to Mr. A. W. Mitchell.
Miss Lily T. Parnell, oi Philadel
phia, a granddaughter oi Mr. Willis
J. Parnell, ia in the city the guest of
Mr. and Mrs. John Parnell. Mira
Parnell ia the daughter of the lata
George Parnell, who will be remem
bered by many, very many, oi our
readers. We hope the yonng lady’s
stay in Thomasville will prove a very
one.
Death of Mrs. Brandon.
Mrs. Harriet L. Brandon is dead.
These words will carry sadness and
sorrow to many hearts. The silken
cord was gently loosened yesterday
morning and the spirit of one ot the
best and truest of women, winged its
Sight from earth. Her death occur
red shortly before 5 o’clock. Chil-
dren and relatives surrounded the
death bed and watched through tears,
the last hoars of her who bad been so
much to them. The only daughter,
Miss Rena, who was absent at school
when the fatitiillnessstruck down her
mother, arrived within an hoar alter
death had done it* work. Mrs. Bran-
don wu the daughter of the late- Mr.
and Mil. Thomas Jones. ‘ She 'was
born on the 10th day of November,
1838. and graduated at Wesleyan
Female College, Macon, Ga, July
1851, She was married to Dr. D. J.
Brandon on the 3rd of February,
1853. During her college daya she
joined the Methodist church, and liv
ed, np to the hoar oi her death, a con.
sistent member. Her place in churoh
and Sunday school, will be hard to
fill. She waa devoted to her churoh
and its ordinance, and was always
ready for every good work. She
made the world batter by liviog in it.
By precept and example and her
every day walk, she exemplified and
illustrated those Christian traits,
graces and virtues which characterize
the pare in heart. She was a loving
wife, a devoted mother, irtrue friend,
a kind neighbor and a Christian. She
had eleven children, seven ot whom
survive her. The funeral will bo
from the Methodist church th‘s morn
ing. The remains will be buried in
the old family burying ground at
Greenwood beside the husband and
children who preceded her to the
spirit world. The sympathies of ail
go out to tbe bereaved children and
relatives in their sorrow and bereave
ment.
Tramps are becoming ent-rely too
numerous about town. Not a day
passes but what several are seen beg-
ging from house to house out. on the
outskirts. Yesterday morning one of
these festive gentlemen went into a
house and acted in such a manner
that the lady ot the house called an
officer and had him arrested. The
fellow was a strong, healthy looking
young man, but carried one arm in a
sling, claiming to be suffering from
erysipelas. While in charge of the
officer he bellowed like a baby and
at ractcd no little attention from pass
ers-by, The sympathies of two gen-
tlemen were worked upon to such an
extern that they chipped in a dollar
each. When carried before Judge
Alexander his honor administered a
good lecture, and with the advice and
warning to leave town at once, let his
irampsh p off. Tramps are too nus
merous and we think if some of them
were given a terfo on the gang they
would learn to keep Thomasville off
their list ol towns a hen planning
southern tour.
Not Entitled to Wear It.
The attention of ex-Cadets of the
S. G. M. College is called to the fact
that they are not entitled to wear the
nniform of the college after withdraw
al or discharge. A uniform is the
property of an organized body, not of
an individual; and when the indivi
dual ceases to be a member ot the
body his proprietary right to its priv>
ileges and distinctions ends. I notice
little boys and ex Cadets wearing ’ the
uniform of the above college. They
are requested to take the stripes off
the trowsers, tbe braid off tbe coats
and the letters off tbe caps. Tbe col-
lege should not be held responsible
for the conduct of individuals who are
in no way connected with it, and yet
wear the badge of membership.

Why esn’t the people ot Thomas
county have a fair! There is no
reason why she should not. Other
counties, scattered all over Georgia,
hold fairs, and they prove beneficial
to them. The fairs cause the farmers
to take more interest in their work,
and to look after their stock closer
They are also feiicious social occasions.
A county fair association should be
organized. Hit ’er a lick, Bro. Trips

Thomasvillewould.no doubt take
hold of the matter) if other towns,
and the country, would join in the
move. What say our neighboring
towns and friends in the country.
These occasions are green spots in the
put, and they should be revived. It
would stimulate agriculture and other
industries.
Only twenty-three out of the forty-
five widows entitled to pensions had

Albert Freeman, one of the waiters
of the Piney Woods, died Sunday
morning. He will be remembered
by many patrons of the Mitchell,
Munry and Piney Woods. Dying
destitute, away from home his,remains
would have been interred in the
pauper’s lot had not the management
and the guests of the hotel generously
raised a purse of 852, and banded
it to headwaiter Rash to defray
expenses. With this amount the re.

The Council’s Choice.
The council passed on a pile ot ap-
plicatipnsfor positions on the city force
yesterday afternoon. There wu nd
opposition to J. F. Evans for treasur
er, K. T. Maclean, clerk, or Jack
Spair, marshal, and they received a
unanimous vote. For every other
office there were s score of persons ap
plying, bnt all the old force goes back

Behind the Bars.
Mance Gardner, the slayer of his
father in law, old John Wuhington,
now occupies n cell in jail. Sheriff
Doss, Constable Charlie Ward and
Mr. Will Doss captured him down at
Ed Craigmiles’ plantation on the
Florida lino late Saturday afternoon.
Gardner had relatives there. Ho
was taken completely by surprise.
The first warning of the officers’
presence wu the command to throw
np his hands. He submitted quietly.
Tbe officers and prisoner reached the
city about midnight. Gardner
claims that he killed the old man in
seif defense. He saya that Washing-
ton, with drawn axe, chased him for a
hundred yards before he shot. He
docs not seem to realize the great
oflenso ho has committed or what msy
be)his late. An effort wu made by his
relatives yesterday to employ counsel.
The case comes up at the April term
of court.
Ham.
This inmitable lecturer will be here
on the 6th. Everybody wiU go and
hear him.
Probably ho better idea oi Colonel
Ham's lecture could be given than is
expressed in this extract from the
Augusta Chronicle:
'It is a cyclone of wit and eloquence,
and cornea roiling, pouring ont with
impressive fnry. There is only one
Ham. There may be others by that
name, bnt there is only one with ail
the alphabet for his initials, and all
the words in the language for his
stock in trade. Indeed, he uses many
whose etymology may be somewhat
obscure, bnt whose force the most un
schooled can feel.
‘The jokes chase each other through
his speeches like greasy globules down
a pine plank, and when they reach
the point the crowd goes into hysterics.
Ham is inimitable. He is u full
of jokes as Dublin is of billygoate, and
he keeps the audienco in a roar from
beginning to end.”
The Late Cold In Florida.
Mrs. Mvy E. Bryan, the well
known authoress, is spending some
time on Indian River. Speaking of
the effects of the late cold she writes
this to the Constitution:
'Never since the memorable winter
of ’86 has the icy ring of Boreas
swept these sunny shores so rudely.
Jack Frost surprised Indian River
region most unpleasantly, coming
down upon groves and gardens like a
wolf on the fold, nipping yonng
orange trees, guavss and pineapples,
and catching the early vegetable
industry in a deadly grip.
•The lately flourishing eggplants
look like rows of dirty dishrags;
tomato vines resemble the “biled
greens” of our backwoods friends, and
the crisp, juicy lettuce looks ss limp
as a last season’s necktie.’’

nine o’clock, at the residence of the
bride’s parents, in this city, Mt-s Har
low Bntler to Mr, John Andrishok;
Rev. Mr. Marion, pastor of the Pres
byterian church, officiating.
The wedding was a very quiet one,
only the immediate relatives of
the bride being present. The
bride is ono of Thomasville’s fairest
daughters and is a general favorite
with ail who know her, while Mr.
Andrishok is one of the rising young
business men of the place.
We, in common with the many
friends of the newly wedded couple,
extend heartiest congratulations and
best wish for their future happiness
and prosperity. ., '
That was a very pleasant coaching
party given by Mr. Mason to Miss
Fannie Hopkins and a few of her
young lady frienda Saturday. The
following were in the party: Misses
Pet and Bird Woodson, Nettie and
Florine Smith, Ella Stnart and Fan
nie Hopkins. They were driven
down to Mr. Mason’s hunting ranche,
Susiua, in his handsome four in-hand,
where they spent the night, return*
ing next day. Jndging from the
happy faces of tbe girls when they
returned they had a-most enjoyable
time. Mr. and Mrs. Mason entertain
