Interesting Items Picked Up All Over the Country and Care fully Prepared and Serv ed to Our Readers. Mr. J. 0*. Culpepper, of Dixie was in the city yesterday. The bicycle fever baa struck town again and the prico of court plaster will go up. 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. THE NEW SUBURB. La Cubaaa, Thomasyille’s Cu ban City. Our citizens should not forget the lecture to be delivered by CoL J. Colton Lynes on the 13th for the 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 on lower Broad street, are turning out piles of work now. These young men thoroughly understand their business, and they keep things humming. Mrs. 0. C. Hodnett and daughter, Miss Ida Hodnett, recently of Ogle thorpe, Ga., has moved to Thomas* ville. Miss Hodnett is a Christian scientist, and will engage in her chos en work here with Miss Alice Jen nings. Robert Downing visited Sanford’s green house while here, and the re sult was a large order of plants to be expressed to bis home in Washington. The tragedian is a great admirer of flowers. .

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.

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. Picture a .scope of land divided off into wide streets and avenues, and beautified with'parks and other land scape ornamentation, the whole stud ded with 'cozy homes, while foremost n view Is * great 'factory, busy with operatives. This is as it -will be in “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 streets 1 Mr. Will Mitchell is expected to arrive shortly with the first batch of cigar makers. , 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# chase spring-and summer goods. 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. VMfUUUg, CUh, OC1 BUUWa A Watch bis advertisement. 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 depot, and making known the facta to some gentlemen, an amount suffi cient to buy a ticket was quickly chipped m. On account of the Mardi Gras Car. nivals at Mobile and New Orleans February 14th, all coupon ' ticket of fices of the Plant system will sell on February loth to 13th, inclusive, ex cursion tickets to Mobile or New Or leans at greatly reduced rates. The rate from Thomasville and return is to Mobile $11.90, and to New Orleaos $16.15. Tickets are good to 'return up to February 28. There are two express trains daily to these points from Thomasville, and the route via 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. rossruimex and n slabs a 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.” Official report of diseases and mor tality in tho penitentiary of Georgia, from October 1st, 1890 to October 1st, 1892—two years: 60 14th.

Deaths from consumption, 19. Deaths from malarial fever, 2. 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. County Commissioners Meeting. The county commissioners had a very interesting and important meet ing yesterday morning. Among other business transacted the newly elected'officera of the county presented their bonds and were sworn in.

It will save types and profanity. Fast Vegetable Schedule. A meeting of the various freight agents of the different southern roads will be held on the 11th to perfect a fast freight schedule from Jackson ville to Eastern cities. It is the in tention of the meeting to reduce the schedule twenty-four hours. Of coarse much will depend upon the information the southern roads can furnish the Pennsylvania railroad people as to quantity, of vegetables that bpve been planted. Mr. J. B. Chisholm, agent of the S. F. & AV. Ry. at Thomasville, will be glad if the planters in this section will let him have all the information in their possession, and that they can obtain, at once, as to the quantity planted in their neighborhood. A quick veg etable schedule will be a big thing for the fruit and truck growers and they should all contribute as much as"ls in their power to the bringing about of such a change as is men tioned above. Mr. Chisholm will L glad to. talk with the growers on this subject. The Blllville Banner. One railroad map, a postoffice and a moonlight distillery make one town. After that the town makes for the dis tillery. One law book, one bailiff and a room in the rear of a grocery store make one justice of the £eace. After that, the justice makes the law and the bailiff the liquor. Twelve collections, one pound par- ty, a year’s horse feed and. an invitation to dinner make one itinerant preach er. After that, the -preacher makes his own livin’. The above are the texts from which we will preach to-morrow, our regular preacher having walked ten miles in the country to his annual dinner.

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.

It is said that the conferences be tween the Secretary of State and the commissioners will be nothing more than formal until after the arrival the steamer from Hawaii which is dne at San Francisco on Feb. 8. The state department expects to receive by that steamer fall reports from Minister Stevens of the events in connection with the revelation^ and, of what has occurred since. The commissioners also look for. addition al instructions from the pro visional government regarding their mission to this country. Until these com munications have been received, it is said that the commisrioners will not be presented to President Harrison. Hu Lost Her Mind.

Cholera, scarlet fever, baseball and hoopskirts, threaten to swoop down on the country. Misfortunes never come singly. Governor Tilman, of South Caroli. na, thinks he is a bigger man than Uncle Sam.

Since Blaine’s death the republicans talk about taking up McKinley. Why, bless your souls, McKinley is dead too. He was buried under an ava lanche of democratic votes, at the last election. “What is a commercial traveler ?” asked little Tommy of his father, “A commercial traveler, my son,” said the father, “is a man who travels over the country and shows hotel men how to ran their hotels." It would be a gratifying and edify ing spectacle to see 8ockless Simp son counting the croesties, hitting the grit, as it were, making his way back to Kansas for good from the nation’s capital, by the leg tine. Speaking of better roads in Geor gia, Hon. W. A. Hnff, of Macon, nys: “If the people of Georgia would quit fighting railroads for ten years and go to building dirt roads, they would do mere than anything else to sustain the State ns an empire within itself^ And now the republicans claim that it ia providential that Harrison has the appointment of a successor to a democrat, on the supreme bench. This is the fiat time we have ever heard of providence taking sides in favor of the republicans. Don't be lieve it. Providence has nothing to do with the republican party. -It is engaged in a better business. -J ‘-\y 3 ftfHftmfmMn
