The members of the M Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society” of the Methodist church, is sadly, sorely be reaved in the death of our dear sister and co-laborer, Mrs. Brandon. It is hard, indeed, for us to realize that she will never meet wilh us again, to en courage and insp:re us by her sweet and loving spirit; her fidelity to duty, her loyalty to Christ and His church, her earnest consecration to every good word and work, and her constancy and zeal in the good cause ia which we are engaged. As a band of sisters in Christ, and servants in His church, we desire to record our tribute of lore and affection to her true worth and merit in all the walks and relations of life, in which she so beautifully illus trated the virtues of true womanhood and the graces of Christian character and active, useful piety and service. 1 hereforc Resolved, That while we deeply deplore the removal by death of our dear sister and c i-laborer in the cause of Missions and every good work, we would bow with Christian acquiescence to the Divine will and providence, cherish her memory iu our hearts, and humbly seek to imitate the virtues and graces that adorned her heart and iii3. Resolved, That a copy of this paper be spread upon our minutes ane a blank page inscribed to her name, also a copy sent to her lamily. Mrs. Julia Robison, Mrs. S. L. Hayes, “La Cubana City.** The correspondent of the News, writing from Thomasville, has this to say about the new suburb: The chain-gang is now at work on the Clay street extension, which will load out to La Cubana City, the new Spanish city which ts to be built near Thomasville. This street will be three miles long and 100 feet wide, making it the finest street in the city. It pass es for a mile and a half through the property of the Tnomasville Real Es tate, Investment and Banking Compa- A street railway 1 ne will be con structed along this street from La Cu bana City to Broad street, down Broad to Jackson street, and down (ackson to the Savannah, Florida & Western depot. It has nor yet btfBn decided htther the road wiil be a dummy or electric line. The real es ate of this company consists mainly of the Mac Intyre tract of 800 acres, beautiful, gentlv undulating land. I his tract has been divided in avenues and streets. The avenues run north and south and have Spanish names, as Morales, San Rafael, Bustamante, etc. The streets run north ar.d south and are numbered, First street being next to Jackson street. Mr. W. D. Boyce and family, of Chicago, who have been making a tour of Florida and Cuba, returned yesterday and are again at the Piney Woods. Mr. Boyce is proprietor of the Chicago Saturday Blade and other newspapers of Chicago. The Blade enjoys the distinction of having the largest circulation of any weekly newspaper in the United States. “At Home.’' Mr and Mrs. J. Hr.nscll Merrill were “at home” to a largo number of friends from five to seven o’clock, and from eight to eleven o'clock on Thurs day afternoon and evening. The oc casion was one of the most brilliant and pleasant social events of the sea son. Mr. and Mrs. Merrill are de lightful entertainers, deservedly pop ular with young and old, and they excelled themselves on this occasion. They were assisted by Misses Emma McIntosh, Annie Scott, Mamie Mer rill, Nettie Smith, Jennie Barker and Mamie Hansell, and by Messrs. J. E. Robinson and B. H. Wright, in re ceiving and entertaining tho guests. Many lovely costumes were worn. Between two and three huhdrod ladies and gentlemen called during the hours mentioned. Mr. Merrill’s pret ty residence was a bower of beauty inside. The decorations were in ex quisite taste. Very elegant refresh ments were served. No social event since the season opened, has drawn together a more brilliant and fash ionable assemblage. Many compli ments have been showered on the fair hostess and those who assisted her in receiving and entertaining the steady flow of callers on the occasion. Last night witnessed one ot the gayest and most fashionable gather ings that ever graced the beautiful ball room of the Piney Woods Hotel The occasion was the first full dress hop of the season tendered the guests and friends of the house by the man agement. Tho Piney Woods is now filled to overflowing with guests, and the youth and beauty of a dozen stales lent their charms to the occasion. There have been larger assemblagen and more elaborated affairs, but,we do not remember to fmo seen any that surpassed this one in point of bril liancy and excellence. The art of entertaining handsomely is indeed a difficult one, and few reach the height of perfection in it, but Mrs. Bower and Manager Davies possess, in an eminent degree, the happy and rare faculty of managing and engineering an affair of this kind in a manner to make all enjoy them selves to the fullest extent. The music was by the famous or chestra of the house, under the direc tion of Prof. Oscar Golde, and better could not have been desired. Keep iog time to its inspiring strains the merry dancers were lost in the “poetry of motion” until near the midnight hour. During the evening choice and delicate refreshments were served. Many of the gowns worn by the ladies were marvels of the dressmaker’s art and showed unmistakably the artistic touch of Worth. We regret that space forbids a description of them. The gentlemen were all in the regulation fall dress. The following is the order of dance: March— Plymouth Moses Lanciers—Robin Hood De Horen 2. Waltz—f Stories from the ) Strauss \ Vienuu Woods J 3.

K. T. Macleans, C. S. C. Capt. M. W. Harris, accompanied by his wife and daughter, of Eau Claire, Wis., arrived last night and have rooms at the Masury. Capt. Harris is a regular visitor to Thomas ville, he having spent many winters here. He thinks there is no place like this lor health, and says that he begins to feel better as soon as he makes up his mind to come here. His numer> ous Thomasville friends are delighted to have him with them again. Purchase of a Fine Horse. The thoroughbred stallion,“Revoke, 1 so well known in this section, will be brought back to Thomasville. For the past few years Revoke has been in Kentucky, and was sold there the other day to Mr. S. Rtchy, ot this city. Mr. Richy will have the horse shipped here at once. Revoke is one of the best blooded horses in the country, and is the nre of a number of very fine horses.

It Is not often a witness is commit ted to jail, but tbe sheriff of Worth county brought Richard Singletary, a witness in a murder case, here yester-, day for safe keeping. Judge Bower had so ordered. Singletary has de layed trial and cost the county a great sum by keeping out of the way for four years. Their was a $200 reward for his capture. Nothera visitors send numbers of boxes of lovely japonicas through the many social attentions while with qs % mails and express to friends at home. After Many Years. Richard Singleton, who was brought here from Worth county for safe keeping, is a witness in the Kearce murder case. The crime was committed tomo ten years ago. The mardereis, Clem and Chiff Kearce, escaped at the time of the murder, but were captured four years ago and have since been in jail. Richmond Singleton was an eye witness to the killing, in fact it is said he held the light while the others did tbe deed. He was afterwards spirited away by the murderers, and siuce evaded arrest until a few days ago, notwithstanding a reward of 8200 was offered for his apprehension. The murder of Tom Watts, of which these men are accused, was a brutal one.® He was decoyed to au old hous3 and then killed. Jealously is supposed to have been the cause. The accused are all negroes aud arc said to be of tbe meanest type. They will doubtless suffer the full penalty of their crime, as it seems justice will not be longer delayed. Mr. James M. Rusbin, ct Metcalfe, died on Sunday morning at his home at that place from an oyerdose of laudanum taken by mistake.

He leaves ihr children. His wife preceded him to the grave about a year. By thrift and frugality the deceased accumulated a good es tale, which he now lcav<?3. He was A Beautiful Extract. Mr. Blaine’s death has brought out the brighter spots in the man’s chiiraotcr. That he was among the foremost orators in the republic goes without saying. Here is a beautiful extract from his oration on the death of President Garfield : ^ ' “As the end drew near, his early craving for the sea returned.

With wau, feverd foe Editor T:aik3-En rERi’EiSE: I have noticed iu the Inst two issues of the “Thomasville Review” commu nications in regard to physicians from other places corrfng here to practice only during the winter season, when our town is full of visitors. While the writer agrees with “Justice” that these physicians should pay a license, lie doubts whether any pecific tax could Be properly or legal ly imposed by the city council, to which, ah j, the local fraternity would not be liable. But, the temporary physician should also be rondo to pay the state tax which tho resident physician pays. The evil of incompetent physicians and quacks being allowed to pursue their calling, should be remedied by the passage of a law applying to the entire state,.of requiring each physi- who practices in the state, to be examined and licensed by a state examining board. The legislature is the proper body to make this law. As to the matter of the practice that the temporary physician may pre vent the local one fr-mi doing. T can ouly -say that thi.s condition is one that is incident t-» any resort town, and while the writer would prefer not to have their com petition, he must dissent from the implied reflec tion upon the personal ami professional itanding of all of those who are our temporary rivals: If they are gentle men and educated physicians,they are entitled to the courtesies which are due such attributes and as one of ?he physicians of Thoaiasviile, who wants all the practice he can ge:. honorably and meritoriously, the writer desires to say that lie does not feel unkindly toward these temporary compel--:ors, provided, always, that their practice j tenderly lifted to th? cooling he looked out. wistful he looked out. wistfully ocean’s changing wonders; > sails, whitening in the morning light; on its restless waves rolling shoreward to break aud die beneath the noonday sun; on the red clouds of evening, arching low to tho horizon ; on the serene and shining pathway of the stars.

Tbe entertain ments will be given in the interest of charitable and public institutions. Rev.J. P, Marion. The Morganton Herald, speaking of the above gentleman’s departure from North Carolina, says: “Rev. J. r. Marion, who for two years past has been pastor of the Fre«bytenan Church in Morganton, haa accepted a call from the Presby terian church at Thomasville, Geor gia, and will at once take charge of that church. Mr. Marion is a ripe scholar, a man of great earnestness and of deepest piety, and aa a preach er has few equals in the church of which he ia a member. The people of Thomasville are to be congratu lated on securing him as their pastor.” The new pastors, family arrived on Thursday and have occupied the par sonage* of the Presbyterian church. They will receive a warm welcome at the hands of their church, and also from the people of our little city gen erally. They will, in fact, be made to feel at home. Some Statistics. Coroner Johnson furnished the re porter with some interesting statistics ol his office yesterday. Mr. Johnson finished his second term as coroner last Monday and was sworn In again for the third. Daring the fouc years that he has been coroner be has held twentyxseven inquests, three in 1889; nine In 1890; seven in 1891; seven in 1892, and one so far in 1893. Nine of these were cases of accidental kill ing; three came to' their death lrom their own hands; four are termed mur der; one manslaughter; four died from natural causer, five from unknown causes or by unknown hands, and one is put down as justifiable homicide. Without Gloves. Police court docket was unusually light yesterday. Busan Gray and Georgia Young were the only offenders -against the peace ot the city. They were up for indulging in profane language and other acts of disorderly conduct on the streets. Mayor Hopkins handled them without gloves. He gave the women quite a lecture and then sentenced each to five days in jail and $21, or on failure to pay the fine, thirty days on the chain gang. The court, he said, was not in the habit of putting women on the works, bnt in these cases it was about time to make an example. No fine would be ac cepted in lieu of the first part of the sentence, five days in jail. Advocating a Prunary to Elect a Postmaster. Editor Times Kn'it.ri*i:^c: These are days of prisnarias. V.V have primary elections for candidate: 5 , or for delegates to conventio ls to nominate candidates for nil odices from President of the United States down through the stare officials to the county officers. The postmaster of a town ri :< per son ia whom the individuals of a com munity are more interested than, any other official. They come in daily contact with him. They are please'd or annoyed daily at the way in which he discharges the duties of his office. While one mao in ten may have busi ness with the sheriff or ordinary, every one of the ten has business with the postmaster. There are some less than a dozen applicants for the Thomasville post- office—all of them good men—and about half the people in town have signed two or three different petitions to the president. Everybody who took an important part in the political contests of last year lias been impor tuned for signatures and for letters to our congressmen or senators. Let me then suggest to the various applicants that they submit their claims for endorsement of their fellow citizens to a primary election, as a means ot relieving the embarrassment of the various citizens as to whose pe tition they shall sign; the politicians as to whom they shall endorse; Mr. Russell and Gen. Gordon, as to whom they shall recommend, and the presi dent as to whom he shall appoint. Mr. Cleveland ts too good a demo crat to ignore the result of 6uch an election..

I endorse Fair Play’s suggestion in Sunday’s issue of your valuable paper that we have a primary to settle the matter as to who is the choice of the people or Thomasville for postmaster. Quite a number of candidates arc in the field, and many of them have the signatures of tbe same prominent citi- ins endorsing their petition for post master. I think a primary would be the very best way to decide the peo ple’s choice, aud I say let the citizens of Thomasvilio have the privilege of saying who they want for poet- master under the Cleveland adminis tration. One Interested. The effort to repeal the Sherman bill has failed in the house, as it did in the senate. The house refused to take up the bill by a vote of .153 to 142. Bo there will be no silver legis lation during thin session of congress. Some cabinet rumors may not pan out. There’s many a slip ’twixt the Ott£ and the lip. Rev. i. L. Underwood. The Washington correspondent of the Atlanta Journal says: “The Rev. J. L. Underwood, of Camilla, Ga., has a worthy desire to represent the United States during the Cleveland administration as con sul general to Havana. Brother Un derwood is a veteran newspaper man, a lifelong democrat, a splendid preacher and a first class man all tbe way around. Thousands of people all over Georgia would rejoice at his success in securing whatever he wants.” Mr. Underwood is a cultured chris- tairi gentleman, and all would be pleased to see him represent ibis coun try at Havanna. It is that the extraordinary cold snap of some time ago resulted in ;reat damage to the game in the Vir ginia forests. A Richmond dispatch “Partridges are reported to have frozen iu whole coveys, and hares have been frozen and starved in large numbers.” There is one good feature about the proposed annexation of Hawaii: it wo’uli not eo3t much to pension the whole army, as there are only thir teen privates aud twenty nine officers t. This is a pointer in favor of the scheme when we come to consider our home pension roll. Honolulu, Feb. 1.—Shortly after the sailing of the last steamer, the provisional government received cer tificates of recognition as the defacto government from Japan, France, Great Britain, Chiiie, Denmark, Germauy, Austria, Hungary, Spain, Portugal; Peru and the Netherlands. It is sa : d that Judge Gresham, not being wealthy, cannot entertain lav ishly as Secretary of State. Mr. Cleveland wants brains and honesty— not entertainers. Mr. Carlisle is a poor man also. The next will be known as a poor man’s cabinet. Well, that speaks well for the integrity and honesty of the men who will consti* tuto it.
