There are four’ thousand LeConle and Keifer pears, covering one hundred acres, ind just coming Into bearing. The property lies beautifully and is susceptible of the highest kind of im provement. It is, without doubt, one of the most desirable pieces of real 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.

A telegram was received here jes terday a-ternoon announcing the death of Mrs. Dr. Palmer, in Month cello. The funeral will tako place to-day. Major T. N Hopkins and wile will go over to-day to attend the funeral. Hon. Ik A. Connell, of Whigham, was in Thomasville yesterday. He is as enthusiastic as ever over Whig* ham’s natural advantages, and has succeeded, after much difficulty, in securing space at tho World’s fair for an exhibit of minerals, woods, etc., from Whigham and vicinity. The state committee appointed by the Confederate Veterans Association which has undertaken the work of erecting a monument to Jefferson Davis wants a sub-committee in riiomaaville. They have written to the county officials asking that names of three ladies and two gentlemen be suggested. Mr. John M. Estes, special tobacco agent for the World’s fair, will pass through the city in about a week en route to Florida. Mr. Estes’ mis sion is to get up sample and data about tobacco culture in the Sooth. He will spend a short while in De catur county inspecting the tobacco interests there, and may also stop in Thomasville for a d»j. Mr. R. \V. Gliding, tbs bustling agent ol tbe Monon Route, has just re- turned from a trip to Atlanta. He informs ua that the Georgia military companies that go to the World’s fair next aurnmer, will go via the Monon, airangements to this efiect having been perfected. Mr. Glading keepa both eyes open and rarely lets an op- portunitv slip to work business for hia popular line. Among the guests oi Pine Summit is the Hon. Alpheus Felch, of Ann Arbor, Mich. Mr. Felch iB now quite old, eighty-e : ght years. He has been, for many yean, one of the most prom inent men of his state. He has re presented Michigan in the United States Senate and was also governor of the state at one time. He is ae compacted by his daughter and grand daughter, and they will spend the winter here. We trust their etay Thomasville will be a very pleasant one. — The Times-Esterpbise has been requested by the ladies who managed the bazaar and entertainment given for tbe benefit of tbe Charity Hospit al, on Thursday afternoon and even- ing, to teoder their best thanks to the various parties who so generously camo to their aid in making the oc casion a financial success. They would, especially, tender to Messrs. Schmidt and Quinn their bet thanks for thenghtful aid and assistance of these gentlemen. The lady board of managers of the Charity Hospital are very grateful to every one who assisted.

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. Donations to Charity Hospital.

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 McBeynolds, Misses Mamie Hansell, Lucile Linton, Annie Scott, Nettie Smith, Susie Cassela, Susie Cobb, FJorine Smith, Olive Bbtckihear, Birdie Smith, Bessie Blackshear, Ola Mallette, Mamie Blackshear.

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. J. Coltojj Lyses, President. 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 lett.—Southwest Georgian. 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 filled out blanks np to yesterday. The time specified for the applications to be forwarded to Atlanta wu Febru. ary 1st. Many oi the widows live in remote parts ot the cohnty, and are unaware of the date fixed for the ap plications to be in. Payment will be made by the State in Febroary. Hon. James L.

Parsons and family ar rived yesterday and have occupied their ban 'some new home near Glen Arven. Mr. Parson's Thbmasville friends are pleased to" eee him here again. 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. mains was shipped to Nork, Ala., for burial. Mr. W. W, Thompson and sister, of LonisviUe, Ky., arrived yesterday and are tbe guests of Mr. and Mre. Geo. H. Stone on Dawson street, Mr. Thompson ia treasurer of the Louisville and Nuhville railroad, and quite a prominent man. They will spend some time in Thomasville. Mr. W. N. Crer's, oi Lockport, N. Y., a well known newspaper and theatrical man, wu in the city yes terday. Mr. Cross is just from' a trip through Florida and he unhesitating ly prononncee Thomasville far supe rior u a health resort to any paint in Florida. 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 on except Policeman J. J. Biggs. He wu dropped. The pay roll stands as follows: , Day Policemen—Coyle and Bland. Night Policemen—Gordon and Brown. Manager Waterworks—E. O.. Thompson. Sanitary Inspector—H. J. Blalock. Sexton—W. H. Burch. Keeper of Chain Gang—D. W. Walker. Guard of Chain Gang—N. Page. The re election of the old force wu a compliment to their put services. All chosen are men who have been thoroughly tried. 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.’’ Married, On Sunday morning, at half-past 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 royally and it is indeed a pleasure to visit them. Accepted the Call. Sunday Rev. Mr. Marian, of Hot* ganton, N. 0., made known hia termal acceptance ot the call to the Presbyterian church. His family will join him later. They will occupy the parsonage on Dawson street. A ypong lady took a stroll, cover ing a distance of fourteen miles, on Sunday. When she returned her step was elastic, her eyes bright and the rosea were blooming-on her cheeks. A successful revolution occurred in Hawii the other day. Tbe Queen «as> deposed and a provisional gov ernment set up. The American gov- eminent wilt be asked to take charge ot the government. A delegation is now oh its way to Washington to ask far annexation. Uncle Sam will hard- ly undertake to govern a set of semi- civilized people out in the middle of the Pacific ocean. It is too tar from the old man’s base of operations. Discussing Ingersoil’s proposed lec. tore in Atlanta, the Camilla Clarion says: The Atlanta ministers raised a howl 'over the idea of Col, Ingcrsoll lectur ing in that city. If Atlanta’s churches cannot stand Iugersoii how do they expect to conquer the devtL It considered a’sure sign of weakness for a politician to decline a joint de bate—why will not this rule hold good in religion.

Sunday—“On Jordan’s stormy banks we stand!” Mr. Blaine was buried yesterday in Washington. The services were deep ly impressive, and drew a large num ber of distinguished men from all over the country. Columbus wants to know why in the dingnation Col. Waddell ‘favors Augusta instead of Columbus as a place'for the state agricultural society to meet. The sonth sincerely mourns the death of Justice Lamar. He wu buried yesterday ia Maoon. The politicians are still hammering away at Cleveland's cabinet. In the meantime Grover is constructing one for himself. s. Think of the democratic senator from “bleeding Kansas,” the land of sockless statesmen, petticoat politi cians and curious cranks! Harriien will appoint a republican to succeed Lamar. This goes against the democratic grain, bnt it is human “natur”, especially republican “ns* tor.” It is now considered certain that Harrison will appoint a Southern republican, ii a suitabls one can be found, to the vacant place on tbe supreme bench. There are two Ps' in congress from Kansas, Pefier and Perkins,the latter being in the senate. This particular P will have to give way to a demo cratic successor. France is still engaged in wrestling with the Panama scandal. It is doubtful whether the scandal will down France or whether France will down the scandal. The World doe3 not regard Justice Lamar as a great jurist, but a great senator. He was, the World says, a dreamer, a scholar, a thinker—a brave but erratic soldier. The family of Mr. Blaine have de cided against a public funeral. He will be buried from the Presbyterian church of the Covenat aod interred in Oakhill cemetery, Georgetown, where two of his children are buried. An exchange says: “E-ght thousand women have join ed in a league agains, hoop skirts, but society people still hold afoot. In the meanwhile, iton manufacturers are preparing to make steel wire for hoops and the trade is getting ready for the change.” Here is an extract from the tele grams of condolence sent to Mg^ Blaine by Mr. Cleveland: “His brilliant statesmanship will al ways he an inspiration to the nation he has served so long and so well. Permit me to extend my sympathy in the death of your distinguished hus band.” ' It is said that a night clerk at the postoffice recently mistook one of the new Columbus stamps for a special delivery stamp, and walked six blocks to get a man up out ot bed and give him a letter, which upon opening he found to be a statement of a debt he owed.—Atchison Globe. Operations in the tobacco market are reported about as dull and unin teresting at Quincy and throughout Gadsden county as in Bainbridge and Decatur county—prices ranging from ten to fifteen cents per ponnd all round. Several farmers in this coun ty have sold within the past two weeks at those figures.—Bainbridge Democrat. Female freaks and male monstrosL ties are common in Kansas. Tbe latest in the former list, is a pretty gill who has turned horse thief. Next! Augusta is making big preparations The Philadelphia Record hits the nail on the head in the folfowing: “The custom of suspending the bosi. ness of Congress as an expression of sorrow for the death of public men has become a mere perfunctory tribute, with scarcely any of its or- iginal significance, as well as a fre quent source of embarassment to legislative business. The practice ahould be abandoned at once and forever.” Southerners constitute an insignifi cant fraction of the number of private exhibitors at the World’s fair who will have displays in the main and mannfkctoring buildings. There will be but two each from Alabama, South Carolina and North Carolina; three each from Texas and Misaiwppi; five from Louisiana, and nine each from Georgia and Florida.
