JAEGER’S T. fv r Ci Noss Jollities. 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. Mrs. J. W. Reid entertained large number of her friends last night with a “missing word contest” enter tainment. It was given in honor of Miss Dickinson, of Augusta, who is visiting Mrs. Reid. W. W.

In the various departments—ma chine shops, blacksmith shops, car shops and repair shops of the S. F. & W. Ry., at this point, a busy scene is presented. The road carries a good roll of employes and all are busy making, repairing, painting and clean ing up. A dozen engines stand motion less waiting for tbeir turn to go out. The engineer it off duty as soon as he brings his engine in the yard from a ron,but the engine h*s to be watered, coaled, sanded and thoroughly rubbed before another trip. This is the duty of the hostler. The road has some fine property in its shops. Everyone is talking about the big cigar factory soon to be started here, but in the meantimo the two factories already established are doing a splen did business. The reporter dropped into the factory of Mr. H. Lichten stein yesterday and found that gem tleman as busy as he oould be filling orders for . cigars. He has just re ceived a shipment of Havana tobacco, and the smokers he is turning out are hard to beat any where. Thomas- ville should encourage these small 1 industries.

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 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 1 household. This kindliness very important condition Council Proceedings.

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 THOMASVILLE As Seen by One of The South Dakota Editors.

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. , Br command of the third plenary coni til of Baltimore * collection if to be taken up fo all the churches on the first Snnday of Lent for the missions among'tho Indians and colored people.

MM 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.

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 Washington, Feb. 15.—Senator Hill has been talking in such a way to some ot his democratic colleagues as to make them think that he contem plated opposing the confirmation of Judge Gresham, but he probably has such intention.

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.
