JAEGER’S Gloves and Hosiery GENTS' MOCHA KID GLOVES, UNDRESSED KID GLOVES, THOMASVILLE GA., Saturday. February 4, 1893. 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- urer and of tho chairman of the finance committee, which will enable all who take the trouble to read, to seejust exaclly the financial condi tion of the city. 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 that congregate there—is tho exceed ingly handsome silver counter cabinet, which was put in on Monday. It is indeed an artistie piece of work. Aside from its convenient arrange ment the engraving and designs are done in the moat workmanlike man ner. Wi>olen and Oil Flnisb Driving Gloves.

AGENTS FOR Butterick Patterns. 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* tance to fill. The size of his air ship is sixty-five by forty feet. Married, Yesterday afternoon, nt tho resi dence of the bride's father, Mr. John C. Beverly, five miles from town Miss Ola Beverly to Mr. John C, Davis; Rev. J. R. Battle officiating. The bride is one of Thomas county’s loveliest young ladies and Mr. Davis has indeed drawn a prize in the matri monial lottery. The groom is a well known and prominent young business man of this city. We wish the newly wedded couple many loDg years of unalloyed happi ness and prosperity. 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 office formerly occupied by Mr. S. Alex Jones in the Watt building. Hr. Reese has accepted the agency of the Hartford Life Insurance Co., one of the oldest and best insnranco com panies in the United States. Mr. Reese has one of the cosiest offices in town, and represents one oi the strongest insurance companies in the United States.' He will no donbt do a good business.

Judge Alexander bad one case before. him yesterday. A white man was fined the costa for furnish, Sg whisky to a minor. The boy’s mother was ill and the whisky was procured without any intent to violate the law. Northern people, who never saw the process of grinding sugar cane, can seo the process by calling at the residence ot Mr, Lum Atkinson Monroe street. Mr, Atkinson will be grinding cane for some time. 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 Thomasville. 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 this city has been most favorably 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 hnndredtaaohera who will come from South Georgia and Florida.

F. Evans, 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.

All of which is respectfully submitted. A. P. WnlenT, Chum. S. L. IUtis, E. U. XnLLKTTK. Alderman Jerger introduced the follow ing 'amendment to sec. IS. art 2, ordinance IS.

We left Jacksonville Sunday even ing and next morning we .were at 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 tiful park and nice roods until noon when we were again fed at the Stuart The afternoon was passed in sight seeing, getting acquainted with the people and bunging on the hotel veranda and listening to a good dar key minstrel entertainment gotten np for the occasion. A magnificent ban quet was spread at the Masury in the evening in which we were joined by all the leading citizens of the city, and we were all sorry when tho hour oi departure arrived. There are lots of northern people here, and they all extended a warm welcome to the Badgers. The writer fools nnder special obligations for courtesies shown byMr. L. H. Jerger, Bro. Ben.

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.” Died in Alabama. Postmaster Bike has received a letter from Bremen, Ala., stating that a young man named J. C. Rober son, died thore on the 28th of Janua ry, and that it is thought he has a brother here.
