Jack rabbits arc an unusual sight
in Thoroasviile. Several were ship
ped here by express a few days ago
to a winter resident. They came
from St. Paul, Minn,
"Mugs,” as usual, got up a row at
the balloon ascension. Mugs is no
mugwump. He is a democratic dog,
with strong proclivities for a “scrap,**
on the slightest provocation.
Everything has now been arranged
and the lecture by Col, J. Colton
Lynes for the benefit of the Charity
Hospital will be delivered at the opera
house on the night of February rolh.
Tickets will be on sale at all the drug
stores and at the hotels.
A two story dwelling house and con-
tents about five miles from town, be
longing to Mr. W. R. Pittman, was
destroyed by fire on Monday night.
The loss was only partially covered by
insurance. It is thought the fire was
the work of an incendiary.
E. M. Mallcttc hag sold the large
tract of land in Decatur county,
known as the Summerford place, to
J. H. Blackwell. Mr. Mallette’
operations cover both Thomas and
Decatur counties. He has sold lately
several places in the latter county,
where prices are still quite low.
The Ascension.
The balloon ascension last Tuesday
afternoon by Prof. Jacobs was a
complete success. It was one of the
prettiest ascensions ever given in the
p’acc Early in the afternoon the
people began to gather in and around
the Court House yard, the place
whfere the balloon started from.
There was, apparently, a large
amount of work to do before the big
air ship could be made ready, for,
although Prof. Jacobs and assistants
seemed to be working as rapidly as
possible, it was about fire o’clock
before the guy rope* were loosened
and Hie' balloon sailed aloft. At
tached to the balloon was a parachute,
at the bottom of which Prof. Jacobs
was hanging by two y rings. The
evening, was a very calm one and the
balloon went almost straight up.
When at a height of about 1,000 or
1,500 feet, the aerodnaut detached
the parachute, which shot downward
rapidly for probably. 100 feet,
when it opened oat and grad*
ually descended to the earth. Prof.
Jacobs landed safely in a pear grove
only a few bloeks from where he
started. The balloon floated farther
out and fell in an old field beyond
Carroll Hill. The spectacle
witnessed by hundreds or people all
of whom pronounced it a most sues
cesaful ascension.
To Meet the Cigar Makers.
^ Mr; W. H, Mitchell lefc yesterday
noon for Tampa, where he goes to
meet the first batch of Cuban cigar
makers.. There will be fifty operators,
besides many will be accompanied by
their families. The party will reach
here in about ten days or less. Oth
ers will come later on in numbers of
about fifteen at a time. Some slight
changes will be made in the interior
of the hall, which will be used tempo
rary until the plant is put up, such as
patting in desks, benches, etc. Thom
asville and this section has been tally
written up and illustrated by cuts in
the Cuban papers.
The council proceedings elsewhere
will prove ot special interest to every
citizen of the town. They contain
the annual reports of the city treas-

Mr. Victor Harmon, business' man
ager of the “Dr. Bill” Company, was
in the city yesterday making arrange
ments for the production ol this highly
amusing comedy on Thursday night,
the 9*.h inst, “Dr. Bill” is one of the
greatest laugh-provokers on the road.
Wherever it is played the peop'e go
wild over it. Unlike most of the
comedies now on the road, it is en
tirely tree from all coarse features, and
depends solidly upon its merits for
success. From what we have heard
of the play and company we think we
can safely promise all who attend a
most delightful entertainment.
One of the most attractive things
in the Piney Woods office—of course
excepting the many beautiful ladies

Judge Alexander yesterday fined
Mr. R. A. Perry, of Ochlockonee,
$25. He had plead guilty to assault
and battery. This ends a case that
has eaused considerable interest nhere
the parties to it reside. Not long ago
a little daughter of Mr. Perry was
whipped by her teacher. Mr. Perry
considered the chastisement a very
severe one and sought the trustees for
redress. Failing to receive satisfac
tion, and meeting the schoolmaster,
the assault was made. The teacher
claims that the punishment inflicted
on the pupil was very light.
Three thousand feet was the dis
tancc the aeronaut claims to have
gone up in the balloon here. Those
who witnessed the ascension do not
think he went so high. Prof. Jacobs
has made over two hundred and fifty
aerial trips since going into the busi-
ness, and the nearest to having a
fatal accident was in Vermont .last
summer while traveling with an “Urn
cle Tom's Cabin” show unden can-
His balloon bursted while only
two hundred feet up. He cut loose
the parachute, and it had barely dis*

An interesting game of whist took
place at the Masnry a few evening’s
since. It was a “Progressive Dupli
cate” whist party, and a large number
of the guests and others participated
in it. Mrs. Carpenter, of Cleveland,
Ohio, teok the first prize, and Miss'
Bessie Tbarin second prize. The
management of the Masnry served
choice refreshments during thd- even-
ing. At the conclusion of the game
the participants got iip an impromptu
dance which was very much enjoyed.
The guests at the Masnry manage to
kill time in a very agreeable manner.
We are glad to see that the council
has taken hold of the matter of street
sprinkling, and we hope it will be
belter managed than in the past.
The Tdies-Entekpeise spoke some
time ago of the inconvenience eaused
pedestrians by throwing water on the
streets early in the evening, and,
will be seen by the proceedings of
council published elsewhere, Alder
man Herring has introduced an or
dinance prohibiting the sprinkling of
streets before nine o’clock. This
a move in the right direction, but. we
think the time should be made .'.an
hour later st least.
Mr. Mac Reese has rented the

The Last Sad Rites.
The gates of the private burying
ground at Greenwood were opened
Tuesday to receive another guest—
one whose early life was pissed near
by. By 10 o’clock the spacious audi
torium of the Methodist church was
well filled by the relatives and friends
of the dead—Mrs. Harriet L, Bran
don. The funeral services were con
ducted by the Rev. Mr. Wynn, pastor
of the deceased. The remains rested
in front of the altar, where the dead
had often knelt, where she had for so
many years given evidence of her belief
in the Christian religion. The deeply
impressive discourse ot the pastor was
based on the following tex's:
'Blessed are the'dead who die in
the Lord; yea saith the spirit, thy rest
from their labors, and their works do
follow them.” N
“Mark the perfect man; behold the
npright, for the end of that man is
peace.”
In tender and touching terms the
preacher referred to the dead. Her
virtues and godiy life were held up
an example to others, and the icli-
gioa ol the Christian—as exemplified
by the deceased—was shown to be the
true and safe anchorage of every pil-
prim on earth.
Rev. Mr. Clisby added some most
appropriate remarks, and closed the
solemn exercises at the church with
an appropriate prayer.
Mrs. Julia Robinson presided at
the organ. “Asleep in Jesus,” a fav-
orate hymn of the deceased, closed
the exercises at the church.
A long line of carriages carried many
mourning relatives and friends to the
last resting place oi the dead—the pro
vate burying ground at Greenwood.
Mr. S. R. Vanduzer, the present own.
of the old homestead, had thought
fully given special attention to this
last resting place of the dead. The
enclosure was carefully cleaned up
and made ready for another occupant.
The brick wall, enclosing the grounds,
was tastefully ornamented, while the
marble shahs, marking the graves oi
the lather and mother of the deceas
ed, were appropriately garlanded. In
the shadow of “Greenwood,” where
she had passed the happy hoars of her
girlhood—beside the husband, who
had gone before, near by “father acd
mother,” and her sainted children,
Mrs. Brandon, the wife, daughter,
mother, fttend and neighbor, was gent
lowered to her last resting place.
In the shadow oi her old home, with
the flowers and shrubbery, which she
loved so well in life^growing -and
blooming about her, she sleeps. Bat
the sleep is not without its- awaken
ing: When the last trump shall
sound, the dead will rise again, rise to
new life and immortality. This is .the
hope, the anchor sheet of the chris-
tain. The dead shall rise again.
Blessed thought, blessed hope.
The Peabody Normal Institute
Likely to be Held at

The proposition recently made to
the State School Commissioner by
Col. J. C. Lynes, the hearty
currence of Capt. Maclean having
been first obtained, to hold the next
session of the Peabody Institute in

entertained and replied to by the
Hon. State School Commissioner.
His letter is given in full. Col,
Lynes obtained consent to tender the
use of South Georgia Military Col
lie *and campus as .the focus tenens
oi the Institute. A belter selection
coaid not have been made, for the
college and grounds are unsurpassed
for such a purpose. New desks and
blinds, artesian water, gas, electricity,
new organ, large chapel and rostrum,
with perfect ventilation and as ( fine
blackboards and classrooms' as lean
be desired, leave notiiiag to be added
to the comfort of the three or lour

City Treasurer.
To the Honorable Mayor and.City Council:
The finance committee ber leave to sub
mit the following report with the report of
the city treasurer showing the receipts and
disbursements for the city for the year 1892.
The city owed on the first of January the
sum of $9,182. Taxes uncollected and
cemetery lots unpaid for the sum ot $4,-
332,75, which last amount deducted would
leave the debt of the city $T,849.25. We
have carefully examined the tax fi tin in
the hands of the city marshal and those
who are owing for cemetery lots, and we
think tho whole of the two different
amounts are collectable. We do not know
why the cemeterr lots are not paid for.
Council has passed stringent ordinances for
the collection of the same. We suppose at
the momont it is hard for the sexton to
dony burial to the dead, but experience has
proved that it is very difficult to collect for
unpaid cemetery lots.
175.21; *hfi interest on the new park bonds
amounts to - $750, and on the bid water
bonds $750, making $1,500. The bonded
indebtedness of the city is now thirty
thousand dollars. We have spent the sum
* two thousand dollars for sanitary pur
poses daring the year, bnt your committee
approves of every dollar so expended for it
is through the very thorough sanitation
that now exists that thousands of dollars
have been saved, and more than all, the
lives of our citizens have been preserved.
On account of the many incendiary fires
the early part of the year council in
creased the detective force, causing
penditure of $473,
We hope with an additional loan of three
thousand dollars together with the receipts
from specific licenses which will bring to
the treasury about nine thousand dollars,
will be able to go to next December,
when onr advalorem taxes will
and that by the end of the year we can show
large elimination of the present debt.
But you ell well know that the reduction
will depend on this body. If the appropria
tions are not voted the money will not be
spent. We must keep the city up to the
high standard for which it is noted for
healthfulness and good order, at the
time we must each of us try to cut off every
seeking aid. We learn that num<»425g££^g^ , 5tat the none, h«
“This weather is too hot,” said a
visitor yesterday., Well, people have
right to complain about the weather
d abuse it.' It can’t talk back at
them. While a good deal ol evidence
is obtainable about the temperature
of a certain place—Ingersoll to the
contrary notwithstanding—there is
nothing said about the temperature
in heaven. The presumption is that
it is mild and pleasant. However
this may be, if some people ^et there
and the thermometer doesn’t show up
to snit them, there will be kicking
about the weather. After all, it is
beat, perhaps, to take the weather
jnst as it comes. This is the true
philosophy.
Mr. Fred Mailer, who has spent
the past nine months in Thomasville,
returned yesterday from a tour of the
State of Florida. He visited all the
important points in the State, includ
ing the Indian River country, and
reports a pleasant time in way of
right seeing, bat says he found no
place which he considers the equal of
Thomasville in point of health and
climate.
Mr. W. H. Parker left yesterday on
the noon train for New York,' where
be goes to purchase V\ stoek ol
spring clothing and gents’ furnishings.
He says he intends, to bring cat
stock of goods which, for style and
elegance, has never been equalled in
this section oi the country. He yriU
have something to say'in onr adver
tising columns shortly.
The extension ofClay street, which
haa lately been ordered by the Conn^
cil, will prove a big improvement to
the northern portion of the town.
The returning tide of thrift. and
prosperity is plainly discernible.
There’s a good time coming—and
does not appear to be farofi.
The next attraction at the opera
house is Hs W.J. Ham, the Georgia
humorist. His lecture is “The Geor-

All of which is respectfully submitted.

We left Jacksonville Sunday even

Thomasville, Georgia. Hore is a town
that took the heart si euery one in
the party. It seemed as though the
very moment wc stepped oil the cars
ell felt at home. Thomasville against
the world, say we alL Here was the
grand wind np of onr many splendid
entertainments in the South. Thom
asville is the county seat of Thomas
county, in southwestern Georgia,
about a dozen miles from the florida
line and 250 miles south of Atlanta.
It is located in the heavy pine and
turpentine region of Georgia in what
is known as the “Piney Woods” dis
trict. and being a rather high rolling,
country, is a great health resort for
Northern invalids. It seems to ns
that if there is any place where
healthy surroundings can cure the
rick, it is Thomasville. The pride of
the town is her hotels, and they have
a right to be. The Piney Wocids, the
Mitchell, the Stuart and the Masnry
hre models in their line, and a credit
to the city. The town has about six
thousand inhabitants, and everything
in the way of good schools, churches
and public improvements to make it a
desirable place to live.
The first pass the Thomasvillians
made at us was to meet ns at the train
with carriages and convey the entire
party to the Stuart for breakfast
Then they turned the town over to us,
and each citizen seemed to be on a
special committee to hand us anything
we wanted. The carriages were again
brought ont alter breakfast and we
were shown the town, and their beau

when we were again fed at the Stuart
The afternoon was passed in sight

people and bunging on the hotel

Boys, if you ever como north,

Since returning homo we have been
frequently asked what we think of
the South. Well we hardly know,
except that it is a delightful country
to visit in winter. The climate is all
right, the frnits and fiowera are most
charming; bnt looking at it from a
business stand-point, we do not think
we would like if. There are lots of
good towns down there for business,
bat in onr judgment tho chances are
better in the North. The fact is we
don’t like so many negroes, and a
person who docs not like to live
among them has no business in the
South. If you do like them, that is
the place to go. We took some
pains to inquire into tho political
feeling of the Southern people. On
general principles of coarse they are
divided the same as in the North, but
on the negro question, republicans
aad democrats, prohibitionists and
alliance msn, all agree that they
most be kept ont of office. They
Can’t and will not allow them to run
effairs, and after being among them
we can’t say as we blame them. The
old war feeling ia rapidly dicing out
in the South, fully as fast if not faster
than in the North. Later on we may
have more to say on this subject.
Miss Eula Ketner.
The Macon Evening News prints a
picture of this charming young Geor
gia girl, together with a sketch of the
young lady. Miss Ketner is a niece
of Judge Hansell, and will very soon
pay her relatives here a visit. The
News copies the following, by Maude
Andrews, from the Constitution in
reference to Miss Ketner:
“She is essentially an Atlanta girl,
having been bom acd reared in this
city. Her mother was a Miss Han
sell, and belongs to the prominent
Georgia family oi that name.
Miss Ketner inherits the handsome
looks of both parents with a grace and
brilliancy of beauty that is bora in
some people just like any artistic gift.
She is strikingly tall, with the grace of
a young willow, and every curve of
form and feature betokens a nature
highly artistic and exquisitely refined.
The sculptor's chisel never traced
features more perfect in their outlines,
more delicate in their workmanship;
and behind a face oi immortal beauty
iies a nature that animates and glori
fies her loveliness as the summer sun
beautifies the blooming earth. Here
is a distinctly southern face, with won.
derfnl dark eyes, lips as delicate as
scarlet lilies, and hair in whose dark
meshes are entangled the gold lights
of a tropical sun.
MissKetner’s .paramount artistic
bent is dramatic. She is eminently
a tragical and emotional actress and
the most careful of critics upon wit
nessing her superb powers, must feel
that a really great career would be
before her should she chose to make
the stage ’ her profession. She ap
peared recently before an audience oi
critics and she carried the houso by
storm with the majesty of her art and
her beanty. Personally, Miss Ketner
has the sweetest, simplest and-most
unaffected nature. She is utterly
unspoiled by the many compliments
heaped upon her. which proves the
simplicity of the true artist.”
