A very fair audience attended the
entertainment given by the Noss
Jollity Company at the opera house
on Tuesday evening. The perform
ance embraces a most bewildering
variety of specialties, songs, dances,
marches and musical oddities, and
kept rite audience in almost a contin
ual roar of laughter. A Quick Match
was the play, if such it could be
termed, presented. The play doesn’t
amount to much.. It seems to have
been written merely in order to bring
out a lot of musical specialties, which
really maka up the entertainment,
Every member ot the oompanj is a
good musician, and performs on al
most every kind of an instrument
from a base drum down. The sax*
aphone and mandolin playing was
very fine, as in fact, were many of the
other musical specialties. The danc
ing and singing was below the aver
age, but the entire show seemed to
please the audience, for they kept up
a continual round of applause and
encored almost everything that was
done.

The attention of members of the
Thomas Hussars is called to the
notice elsewhere, calling for an elec*
lion of officers ou the 20th iuet. The
Hussars is one among the few new
companies who will be mustered into
the state troops. The great hulk of
tho new companies applying have
been ejected. It is a high compli
ment to the Hussars that they have
been accepted, and we hope tho boys
will show their appreciation by turn
ing and voting their fall strength at
the election ordered. See notice.
In the various departments—ma
chine shops, blacksmith shops, car

An Accident.
We regTet to learn that Dr. John
H. Coyle, the well known dentist,
had the misfortune to lose one of his
fingers Wednesday morning through
the careless handling of a shot gun.
Dr. Coyle had the gun in his left
hand, with the index finger over the
muzzle, when, by some means, the
gun web discharged, mangling the
finger to such an extent that it had
to be amputated, Tho thumb was
also injured. The wound is a very
painful one, but the doctor will Boon
be at his office again.
Burglars.
Mr. John Pollard, who lives out dn
Hansell street, reported Wednesday
that he had been paid a visit the
night before by burglars. He heard
some one around the bouse, and se
curing his gun, went after him, but
the burglar jumped from the oppo 1 -
site end of a porch and made his
escape iu the darkness before Mr.
Pollard could get a shot at him.
The t/achs were examined yesterday

goodness. The only means by which
any man can see and know these spirit
ual objects, is the perceptivity of the
mind. We must practice ourselves in
the use of “the inner eye,” and learn how
to make absent things present to us, by
habits of meditation and memory. The
intellectual part of the duty of Lent is to
draw near to Christ by the approaches
of thought, and to dwell with him by a
constant remembrance. Therefore, is it,
that we have a custom of frequent wor
ship in the churches, and withdrawal
from the unnecessary occupapations of
worldliness, that we might be aided by
the one, and not hindered by the other,
in our efforts to fix attention on the Lord
Jesus.
1 commend to you these following
practical measures, and hope that ;
will endeavor as far as possible: To
present at ever)'sen-ice; to engage ea
estly in the devotions with head and hi
and voice; to resist, as much as you c .
the distractions of social amusements
and gayeties; to refrain from self-pleas
ing ana self-spoiling and the easiness of
self-indulgence, to refuse to gratify the
love of indolence, or to hear the murmurs
of impatience or yield to provocations to
anger. .
Seek composure of mind by freeing it
from all resentment. If any have wrong
ed you, forgive them for Christ’s sake,
and .be no longer fretted by your own
ungraciousness. If you have wronged
any one, do not continue in the character
of a wrong doer, go and make amends,
confess your fault and be right minded.
Seek also a generously disposed mind,
lie not self-absorbed. Make it yr
daily aim and practice to contribute
the comfort or hapinessof your neigh
bors. Visit the sick, provide for the
needy, notice the lonely, be habitually
kind to all about you, especially those
of your 1
of mind
for appreciating* Christ. So, also, is
meekness of mind, aim to acuuirc this
by abstracting your thoughts irom your
earthly estate, and fixing them on your
personal character. Look not at your
social standing, but at your need of
mercy. Pray in the spirit of the Publi-
m. “God be merciful on me, a sinner.”
Kcvcrance is another characteristic of
mind that helps us to understand devine
truth. Try to feel that you are tread
ing on holy ground. Let something of
UWC settle upon you. Banish the spirit

To-Day"Ushers in the. Lenten
Season.'
To-day, Ash Wednesday, is the first
day pf Lent, and for the next* forty ^ _
days all woildly pleasures will be laid pUd,, to3mrae» nwedoni
aside by those who observe iV >*33
Aa regards the manner of observing
Lent, various degrees of strictness
have prevailed In the church. Perfect
abstinence from all food every fasting
day until Evening is in theory at least
required, and It has also been con
sidered desirable that. public worship
with sermon should he attended daily,
with frequent communion, especially
on Saturdays and Sundays; public
amusements, especially stage plays,
are prohibited, and the celebration of
religious festivals, as also of birthdays
and marriages, is held to be unsuitable*,
and increased diligence in almsgiving
and deeds of charity is enjoined.
In the Roman Catholic, Greek and
Episcopal churches Lent is observed.
It covers the forty days from Ash
Wednesday to Easter eve, and is con
sidered as a time durirg which certain
worldly practices are to be intermitted.
Rev. C. I.-LaRocbe, rector of St.
lhomas church, has issued the follow
ing address to his parish :
Dear Brethren:
Most of you, by actual experiment,
have made proof of the benefits of a well
kept Lent I may address you as those
who know that it is profitable to your
souls. It is a great privilege to have
found a sure way of taxing the things of
God and making them ours. It is an
ominous depravity of mind to know how
to grow in grace, and not attempt it. Let
us then, in nope of gain and fear of loss,
enter upon the observance of this holy
season, with minds intent on realizing
those spiritual blessings in larger meas
ure, which we have before tested.
The results to be aimed at are a fuller
knowledge of God in Christ, that we may
be more settled in our convictions, ana
that our increasing appreciation of His

Your Friend and Rector,
C. I. LaRociie.
Bishop Becker has promulgated the
following rules and regulations for the
observance of the Lenten period in the
Catholic church:
All the faithful who hare completed their
first year are, unless legitimately dispensed,
bound to observe ihe fast of Lent.
They are to make only one meal a day,
excepting Sundays
The meal allowed on fast days is not to be
taken until about noon.
Flesh meat and fish are not to be used at
is same meal during Lent.
A small refreshment, commonly called
collation, is allowed in the evening, not to
exceed the fourth part of an ordinary meal.
At the collation it Is permitted to use
bread, all kinds of fruits, salads and vegeta
bles. The use of butter, cheese, milk and
eggs is also tolerated by virtue of long es
tablished custom.
General usage has made it lawful to take
in the morning, some warm liquid, os tea,
coffee, or thin chocolate made with water,
and a mouthful of bread.
Necessity and eastern have authorised
the use ot hag’s lard instead of batter in
preparing permitted food.
The following persons are exempted from
the obligation of fasting: Persona under
21 yean of age, the sick, nnrsing women,
these who are obliged to do hard labor, all
who through weakness cannot fast without
great prejudice to their health.
By virtue of an iadolt granted to tho
bishops of these provinces, under date Ang.
3, 1887, the use of fresh meat will be allowed
at all meals on Sundays and once a day on
Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Satur
days, with the exception of the second and
last Saturdays of Lent.
Persons dispensed from the obligation of
fasting on account of tender or advanced
age, hard labor drill-health are tree to take
meat more than one* on those days when
ito use is granted by dispensation.
The faithful are reminded that besides
the obligation of fasting imposed by
church, this holy season of Lent should be
in an especial manner a time of earnest
prayer, of sorrow for sin, of seclnsion from
the world and its amusements, and of gen
erous almsgiving.
The Paschal timq extends from the’ first
Sunday of Lent till trinity Sunday, daring
which time all Catholics who have attained
the use of reason are bound to prepare them'-
selves to receive .worthily holy communion,
The season of Lent is a proper time, also,
for childrem to go to their first confession!
which they-ought to do generally when
about 7 yc.iri of age. Parents and teachers
s!r uld see to this. ,

Te take the following extract from
a letter published in the Kimball,
South Dakota, Graphic:
"There was considerable grumbling
because our train had to lay in Dm un
attractive city of Jacksonville alf day
Sunday, and when it did finally start
few there were that did not wish it
could make tbe run to Chicago without
a stop. Two weeks of sightseeing and
almost constant traveling in a crowded
sleeper is apt to produce a wearisome
body and soul and a feeling that there
is no place like home. Those who
arranged the trip had planned a day
in.Thomasville, Ga., and after giving
us so many days of unalloyed pleasure
and so thoroughly a delightful outing
there cOuld be no open expression ef
disapproval—we were tired out, that
was alh 'aud wc would smile—and see
Themasville—and be gay-and happy
yet, you bet! We bad no means of
knowing just what the citizens of
Thomasville had arranged in the way
ot a reception and entertainment, but
as we look back over the day spent
there it is reasonable to believe that
they had iuiuitively analyzed our
feelings previous to our arrival and
determined to heap coals ot fire oo
our beads for wanting to go straight
home trom Jacksonville, for the day
spent in rbomasville proved to be one
of the most delightful ones on the trip,
and the touiuts left the pleasant little
city rested in mind, body and spirit
and thoroughly charmed with its
hospitable citizens.
We arrived there in the early morn
ing and before many had awakened.
Carriages were waiting and as rapidly
as the tired and sleepy excursionists
stepped from their cars they were
driven up town. The South Dakota
crowd were taken to the Randall
House, where at the city’s expense
they were served with an elegant
breakfast and luncheon. The Wis
consin people werediued at the Stuart.
Mrs. Randall, proprietress of the Ran
dall, Is a lady whom it does one good
to meet and as a hostess is simply
unexcelled. The livery barns were
nearly depleted of rigs for the benefit
of the visitors—and first-class turnouts
they are, too—and were kept going all
dry long, around the city, into the
country, through the beautiful park of
natural pines and to all points of
terest.
Speaking of rigs reminds us of tbe
comical looking turnouts the darkies
drove into Thomasville from the coun
try, photographs of which the writer
has had recently on exhibition. Tbe
aforesaid rigs consist ot a two-wheeled
cart drawn usually by a single critler
the form ofa steer weighing about
Soo pounds. The tire on the wheels
usually wrapped to the lelloes with
bands of hoop iron or twine; and the
shahs, young pines and running back
over the ax'.e and constituting the
bottom framework of the box. The
harness consists of all the odds and
ends of straps and ropes that can be
gotten together. Take one of these
rigs loaded with a quarter of a cord of
wood, a box with a couple of pullets
ou the hind end and a Georgia darkie
in front and you have a turnout that
will make a whole hoodlum procession
lock lame. Darkies are as plentiful
around Thomasville as every where
else South, and a cro.vd ot little ones
amused the visitors by scrambling in
pail ol water for nickles, and other like
antics that would serve to mulct the
pockclbooks of "de white folks from
de norf.” ,
In the evening Manager Pratt of the
Masury Hotel spread an elegant
banquet to the visitors and the city
council. Mot satisfied with all this the
citizens wanted us to remain, during'
the balance ol the evening and attend
a hop, but we were due at Atlanta for
breakfast and were obliged to decline
further hospitalities. *
Thomasville is an attractive little
city of about 6,000 inhabitants, and
stands on the highest point of a pecu
liar ridge plateau, 330 feet above sea
level and 200 feet higher than any
point in Florida. An examination of
the map will find it located on one o
the lines of the Plant system in the ex
treme south of Georgia. Its location
gives it all the beneficial advantages
of Florida as a winter resort and a
climate, we think, more agreeable to
northern people than that farther
south.. Az a matter of fact, lew loca
tions anywhere South outrank it as a
winter resort. It has a dozen first-
class hotels and boarding houses,
some of tbe former elegant in tbeir
appointments and capable ot accomo
dating 500 or more guests.
The soil ot Thomasville and vicinity
is adapted to all kinds of gardening
and truck farming and city and coun
try bears evidence of prosperity. The
city is supplied with water irom a deep
well—artesian they call it—but it does
not flow and the water has to be
pumped out by steam.
. Oae ol the leading industries around
and about Thomasville is tobacco
raising, and we were enabled to buy
much better homemade agars. in
Thomasville for the same money than
in the famous Havaona tobacco cigar
manufacturing region farther south.
A Jacksonville threeJor a quarter
cigar would aicken a hone. Wo
visited the cigar factory of Covert &
Jones in Thomasville and passed a
very pleasant hour.
The climate seems to be conductive
to health even in the hottest summer
months. During the middle of the
day it is very hot in the sun—as it is
in the treeless Northwest—but the
nights are usually cool and there is an
ocean breeze and abundant shade.

faithful and useful a member, deeply
feel their sad loss by the removal from
their midst by deaths of our dear sister
and co-laborer in the cause and king
dom of Christ She wis born , and
reared in this community, and gave to
it the services of a life-time, reaching
through nearly sixty years. How well
and nobly she lived, met all the re
sponsibilities, and filled the Varied
spheres and relationships <ol a long
life, the unanimous verdict of our
community fully attest In her death
almost every citizen felt a personal
bereavement. Her fidelity to duty,
her ppiforraily kind and affably manner
to all alike, her deep felt interest in,
and active- services so cheerfully
rendered to every public and private
benevolence, and her many acts ot
kindness and charity unostentatiously
shown,drew many hearts to her.
As daughter, sister and wife she was
devoted, loving and faithful: “The
heart of her husband did safely trust
in her,” and her loss as a sister is
keenly felt. As a mother - she was
preseminently faithful, and increasing*
ly so as the years passed on. She
literally lived for and iu her children.
Her thoughts, energies and time were
consecrated to them, and she planned,
labored and loved with utter unselfish
sacrifice and devotion for them. At
the death of her husband she was left
with six boys and one daughter, and
she heroically gave herself to training,
educating and saving them, and now
they all rise up and call her blessed.
But her numerous and pressing
home cares and duties did not prevent
her from taking an active part in all
the interests and enterprises of public
and private benevolences, as far as
possible. Bat it was to the church
and work for Christ and souls distinc
tively, that she gave her truest devotion
and best energies. She loved the

as to make them think that he contem

prevails in the senate that cabinet

For years she has been foremost and
untiring in seeking its every interest
aad advancement. She was indeed
the true friend and helper of the pastor
and his family. She was the friend of
ail alike, poor and rich, and all will
miss her friendly greetings and warm
hand grasp. As a Christian she was-
conscientious, consistent, gentle,
steadfast and faithful; wi thout much
demonstrativeness, but loving and
trusting. She was a regular and deep
ly interested attendant upon every
service and ordinance ol the church,
and in this respect a worthy example
to all others. Through almost her
entire lile she was connected with tbe
Sunday-school, as scholar and teacher,
and gave to her classes her best ener
gies. For nearly or quite forty years
she had been a teacher, more or less
all the time. If all who had at di£
ferent times been in her classes, were
collected together, they would- make
quite a congregation. Many of our
citizens remember her pleasantly, as
having been their teacher.
During the last weeks of her life,
seeming to be in unusual health, she
was talking and planning for more
work and larger spheres of useful
service. Bu*. suddenly the messenger
came and called her home. But she
was ready to go, and felt that Jesus
was present and precious to her in her
last hours. Thus lived and dted onr
sister, friend and co-laborer, leaving
an example full of inspiration to us
We thank God that we knew and
loved her. Therefore,
Resolved, That while we deeply
deplore tne death of our sister and
friend, and shall greatly miss her
presence and labors in our school,
well as genial fellowship and Christian
friendship, we will nevertheless seek
to bow.with humble submission to our
Father’s will, while we'seek to imitate
her example and lovingly cherish her
memory.
Resolved, That a copy of this
paper be spread upon our minutes and
a blank page be inscribed to her
name. B. P. Walker,
