WHAT HAS TAKEN PLACE
DURING THE WEEK.
Interesting Items Picked Up All
Over the Country and Care
fully Prepared and Serv

Mr. J. 0*. Culpepper, of Dixie was
in the city yesterday.
The bicycle fever baa struck town
again and the prico of court plaster

The
Patronize hqme industries,
cigars manufactured here are as good
as those shipped here.
Revoke, the great stallion known
to horsemen in this section, will be
resold at Mt Sterling on Oth inst.
Paradise Park is one of the most
delightful places imaginable these
pleasant days. And there is always
a crowd there.
Our-merchants will soon begin to
display their spring goods. Already
new goods are being received by
many of them.
February and March are - the two
best months for northern business
in the south. Thomasville is getting
her share of the business.
Miss Jennie Barker, of Birming
ham, who visited here last fall, and
mado many friends, carae down to
day and is the guest of Mrs. Xl&nsell
Merrill
Robert Downing and company
were completely carried away with
Thomasville. Mr. Downing says it is
the most attractive little town he has
seen in the South.
Miss Florence Leotard, of Arling
ton, was the guest of Mr. and Mrs.
Herring on Friday night. She left
yesterday mernmg lor Montice)!o>
where she goes to visit relatives.
The fact that a large cigar factory
will soon be in operation here, has
stimulated tobacco growing. There
will be a market for a great deal of
the weed in Thomasville next year.
A Lively Blaze, y
Thera was quite a lively blaze Satur
day just . before one o’clock, on
Jackson street, and but for the
prompt and efficient work of the de
partment, it would no doubt have
proved a most disastrous one. Fire
broke cat between the ceiling and
roof of one of the Pittman- cottages
near the mafket house. The house
was occupied by Capt E. S. Law and
family, who were at dinner at the
time. The first they knew of it, their
attention was attracted by a roaring
sound. Capt. Law ran ont and seeing
a blaze on the roof, gave the alarm.
The fire department responded
promptly, bat before the water was
turned on the entire top ol the house
was in flames, and the adjoining
house occupied by Mr. C. T. Gandy
was smoking and threatened to catch
every minute. Sood, however, the
firemen bad four streams playing on
the fire, and in a few minntes the
flames were extinguished, but not
before the house was almost destroyed.
Cdief Hansell and Asst, Chief Thomp
son were promptly on the ground and
directed the work of the firemen.
The most of tho furniture, otc., be
longing to Capt. Law was saved,
though in a badly damaged condition.
Ho was insured for §500 in tbo Un
derwriters Agency of New York,
Capt^ E. M. Smith, agent. The
house wa3 owned by Mr. W. C. Pitt
man, and was insured for $900 in the
Phoenix, of Hartford, Capt. Smith
agent. Tho firemen did splendid
work in saving the adjoining build
ings, their close pxoximity to the
burning one rendering their condis
tion extremely dangerous. Tho
engines were not used at all, all the
water thrown being from the plugs.
In talking with Superintendent
Thompson of the water works just
after the fire, he informed us that
not since the works were established
lms there been two buildings burned
within reach of the hydrants; that is,
the fire has always been confined to
the house in which it originated.

benefit of the Charity Hospital. It
is a lecture that will prove both inter
esting and instructive.
The Messrs. Palin, proprietors of
the carriage and blacksmith works

piles of work now. These young men
thoroughly understand their business,
and they keep things humming.

Thomasville is growing in impor
tance as a market for horses and
mules. We venture the assertion
that more horses are sold here than
in any town oi like size in the state.
Often there are as many os halt dozen
dealers with from one to. three car
loads each here in one day. There
are several here now, and none of
them complain of slow sales. The
prices paid, we understand, are also
good.

Visitors and sojourners at Thomas
ville are hereby reminded that they
are, one and all, welcome to the use
of the roads and driyes in Cleveland
Park. Entrance at the first Gate
Lodge gives a road to the river, and
via the gate opposite the mansion a
pleasant drive or ride through the
timber may be had. The road to the
upper gates is indicated by arrow
points. The drive out to Cleveland
Park is one of the most, delightful
around the town, Mr. Masury
thoughtful kindness, in throwing open
the rides-and drives through his beau*
tiful grounds, will be fully appreciated
by visitors.

“La Cabana ” the new Suburb soon to
loom up in the northern portion of
Thomasville. Yesterday the reporter
was shown the plat of the. suburb
drawn : by Mr. C H* Trapp for the
Thomasville Real Estate, Building and
Banking Company.
The eight hundred, acres have been
laid off in a most attractive manner.
The big plant has been located in the
center of the tract. Immediately
around it will be the homes of the op
erators. Space for parks has been
reserved. The drawing plainly shows
that the promoters have an eye for
beauty, as well as business..
The streets are sixty feet wide, and
the avenues are eighty.
Prado, the main thoroughfare, is one
hundred. In the center of this street
will be plants and flowers as in Ha
vana.
The avenues are named Busta
mante, San Juan, San Miguel, San
Borqjl, and Margaret. There are
dozens of streets, among them Mors
ales, Estella and Galivarro.
A force of laborers will commence
work to-morrow morning on the

Mr. Will Mitchell is expected to

A Checkered Career.
Editor, senator, bank cashier, pres
ident of an insurance company, con
vict, book agent, and at present a
compromise between Sam Jones and a
Salvation Army 6houter, and you
have an idea of a man who has had
his ups and downs, principally downs.
John N. Reynolds is his namo, and
for an hour last night he stood np at
the monument and lectured to a
mixed crowd on ‘life among the
criminals.” Reynolds came from
Kansas. What more can be said.
This slate has furnished some rare
geniuses, and among the list of which
sister Lease is a star, however, none
are more original than the author of
the “Twin Hells.” First as editor
of the Atchison Daily Times, he at**
tempted to do up Ingalls and his
ring and got eighteen months in the
poHitentiary. Using the mails for
fraudulent purposes was the charge
He is the only many living, who,
while in a penitentiary, made the race
for senator and was elected. He
received twice as many votes as his op
ponent. All this and more he tells
you, and then sells it to you in his
book. The speaker addresses him
self to the boys, but the “boys” em#
braces all ages. Reynolds has papers
to prov$ “where he is at.” “Man in
his time plays many parts.”
Font survivors of the Mexican war
reside in this county. They are
Hardy Miller, T- W. Ballard, O. C.
Cleveland and T. M. Gordon. The
first two live near Cairo, and the
latter in and near Thomasville.
Though well past the meridian of
life, all are still in active employment
Mr. Miller is a farmer. He is the
eldest of the four. Mr. Ballard has
a grist and saw mill operated by
water power. He also has a farm,
and divides his time between the two
pursuits. Mr. Cleveland has a cosy
home about three miles from town,
and is a successful farmer and tobacco
grower. Mr. Gordon is still in' har
ness as it were. When there are no
wars to fight he swings his club as
one of the fiaeat.” The council has
just retained him for another year.
The “General” probably got his title
fightiDg “Greasers.” The old vets
draw pensions from Uncle Sam.
Lost in New York.
Miss Sallie Moore, the pretty Ken*
tucky girl, now lost in New York, has
a cousin in Thomasville. Her relativo
is Operator Dickson. Tho papers are
full of tho mysterious disappearance
of the youog lady. It ha3 been over
three weeks since she left her uncle’s
home to go out shopping, but beyond
learning of several business houses
where she called, no trace of tho
young lady has been found. Inspec
tor- Byrnes acknowledges that he is
baffled. Detectives and reporters
have followed every slightest shadow
of a clue without success. Fair play
is suspected. In the past twenty years
there hns been only one disappearance
reported in the metropolis which has
never been accounted for in some
manner. Mr. Dickson has received
a large number ot, letters and tele
grams giving particulars and progress
of the search.
Workmen were engaged yester
day in putting np tables in the city
hall to be in readiness for the cigar
makers, who are expected to arrive
shortly. Mr. W. H. Mitchell is now
in Cuba on business connected with
the new,company. He wiilreturn
the last of this or the first of next
week, accompanied by a number of
jOub&n ' cigar makers. The work of
manufacturing will soon commence,
and wOl be increased as rapidly as
possible. «
Mr. Louis Steyerpaan left yesterday
for New York, where ho goes to pur#

Steyenhan requested the reporter to
say to the public that he would bring
out the most elegant fine of drygoods,
clothing, etc., ever shown in the city.

A Sad Case-
A man who is dying of heart diss
ease spent Friday night in the lock up.
Found on the streets at a late hour he
was run in as a suspicious character.
The officer did not believe the tramp’s
story of his condition. . He had been
imposed on too often, bnt in this in
stance it was no fake. A doctor
went around yesterday morning and
mado an examination. His practiced
eye soon told him that the end. was
near.
The tramp was slowly but surely
dying. Tho summons might come at
any moment
The fellow gave his name as Harry
Ike, aad said his home was in Colum
bus. A brother and sister live there.
SheriS Doss accompanied him to the

to some gentlemen, an amount suffi

Montgomery is a favorite one with the
tourist.
Mr. H. D. Fitch, who came here a
few months ago in the interest of the
Thomasville Gas Works, returned yes
terday to his home in Louisville, Ky.
Mr. Fitch has made many warm
friends by bis genial pleasant manner,
who will be glad to welcome him back
again to onr little dty among the
pines, when the flowers bloom in the
spring.
Mr. Benson, of New York, who
spending the winter here, killed three
woodcocks yesterday on the old J.A,
Linton pond. Woodcocks are very
rare in tide part of the country and
three killed by one person in the
same day, is ^something unusual.
Mr. Benson is a good shot and is
very iond of hunting.

Editos TniEa-ENTEEraisE.
Deak Sip:—Soma weeks Bince 1
received a medical journal, published
in Chicago, from which I extract the
following:
“Winter resort viators have their
aeloction of places limited this season.
The presence of cholera in Europe will
doubtless direct the tide of travel from
Italy, France end Morocco. The in
crease of malarial fever in the South
last season may be an occasion of con
cern for invalids who go South every
winter. We have heard of no serious
richness in California, New Mexics,-
Arizona or Texas.”
On reading this article I commenc
ed immediately to investigate the
prevalence and mortality ot malarial
fever and consumption, two diseases
on the cause and nature of which
more has been written and less known
than any other to which human flesh
is heir. Thinking it the most likely
placo to find these diseases, I com
menced my investigation in the Con
vict camps of Georgia—the Georgia
penitentiary. Penitentiary in the
Georgia dictionary means a place to
which violators of law are sent, walled
in by the confines of the State, and
covered by the canopy of heaven.
The occupants of this establishment
live out of doors—in the open air.
•end you with this, reports from
every convict camp in the State.
These reports are made out by the
physicians at each _ camp, and en<
dorsed by the chief physician of the
penitentiary, who Is a personal friend
of mine and entirely reliable. When
you have read these reports I think you
will agros with me that “malaria”—
that mighty octopus, ever looming up
mammoth proportions to the vision
of our Northern friends (including doc
tors), and whose mighty arms are ever
out-spread to" embrace every man,
woman and child who enters our
State, is a great bugbaoo and hum
bug, a delusion which is invariably
dispelled by a brief sojourn in our
State.
The reports from onr convict camps
will convince any reasonable and un
prejudiced man of lids. To me the
penitentiary system of Georgia is a
moral horror, but to the unfortunate
convicts, according to reports, it is a
physical blessing. So much for tho
bugaboo, malaria. Now what of con
sumption? If you will compare the
following report, from the Joliet
penitentiary, Illinois, with the reports
from tho Georgia penitentiary, you
will become sufficiently informed to
warrant you in advising all those
seeking such institutions which of the
two to choose.
Keport from Joliet penitentiary
says: “There are fourteen hundred
convicts within the walls, and folly
one third of them have consumption
in a light or bad form. Nearly all
deaths of persons iu the penitentiary
have been caused by consumption,
aad as a rule, all long termers either
die within the wails from the diseate,
or are pardoned out on account of it.”

I call your special attention to two
of these convict camps.
First: To Dado City coal mines.
From this “amp” I expected an un
favorable report oh account of the
occupation ot the convicts. "To my
surprise it is one of the moat favorable
reports I have rcceiyed, when we con
sider the number of convicts—580—
with only five deaths ot consumption
and four of malarial fever. In this
comparative exemption from consump
tion and malaria, the convict is in
debted to the altitude ol three thous
and feet, and the consequent dryness
ofthe climate.
Second: Chattahoochee brick yard.
This camp is located on the banks of
the Chattahoochee river, in a low
valley, which is occasionally ever,
flowed: Here we have t91 convicts,
with five deaths from consumption,
and two from malarial fever. The
work at this amp is brick making.
At all the amps whore the convicts
are employed in the lumber business,
in the piney woods, we find lea con
sumption,- less malaria and less mor
tality than any other.
rhile we acknowledge that climate
has been the chiel protection of our
prisoners against disease and death,
we must not overlook the faot that wo
havo a humane governor, and under
his direction, and by his appointment
of a chief physician, who is not only
an experienced sanatarian, bat a
philanthropist, and that their joint
efforts in behalf of human sufiering
have ever been exerted to tho fullest
extent
Very truly yours,
T. S. Horxiss.
F. S.—.In investigating malaria and
consumption, I find that during the
period of two years, there occurred
among tho convicts, 204 cases oi la
grippe, with one death.

Sorts of Human Things.” in which
he expresses the following thoughts
on marriage: “If you think of mar
rying a woman remember you marry
three creatures, a young one, a mid
dle aged and an old one. Unless one
or two die before their Lime, you mar
ry a wile, a mother, and a grand
mother. In her you marry a lot of
people you do not know. Ytfn don’t
marry for to-day or for to-morrow,
but for life, and for all sorts of situa
tions. If she is gentle and wise and
true, yon hare a bride not only for
the wedding day, but for sickness
and prorerty and old age. H she is
only handsome, she will some day
grow ugly: but if she is good and true,
she will stand wear. Try to know
hor before yon take her.—-London
