Dr. Byron removed a second try
cataract from the eye ot Mr. \Y m.

very skillful with the knife and the
operation was a most successful one.
The gang, under the direction of
Marshal Spair, has completed about
a quarter of a mile of Prado street in
“La Cubana,” and they have done a
splendid piece of work on it. Many
people drive out to see how the new
suburb is laid off.
Thomasville is a great mule market
Every day buyers aud sellers are
bargaining, and many carloads are
disposed of during the season, but
there ia no leason why this continual
drain of money from this section to
the west for stock should go on.
Farmers ought to raise stock right
here at home. They acknowledge
this but only talk ab >ut the evil with
out making a start to right wrong.
Miss Butler, of New York, lectuitd
in the pailor of the Mitchell House
last night on the subject of Phyeical
Culture The lecture was au illus
trated one, and proved very enter
taining and instructive. Miss Butler
appeared in a Greek costume and
successfully demonstrated how a wo-
can diets both artistically and
healthfully. There was quite a large
number present, including many
town people, all of whom seemed
uch pleased with the lecture.
Charley Williams comes to the
front with the first snake story of the
season. It is as follows : A few
mornings since, his little boy, Harry,
inserted his hand into the wood-box
sitting by the fireplace iu his room to
get a splinter. Much to the aitouish-
mettand fright of the little fellow
when he withdrew his hand, he held
in his grasp not the desired piece of
kindling, but a live rat snake about
two feet long. To say that Harry
was scared is putting it very mildly.
He hasn’t recovered from his fright
yet, and now when splinters are
wanted, some one else has to get them.

There is a mystery about a couple
of acts comniitted on Daws m street
few nights ago The first was tl
theft and killing of a calf. In the
night Mrs. Dohlbcrg, who lives near
Dawson, was awakened by a terrible
racket at the lot. A calf seemed to
be strugging to free itself from some
one, and was bleating piteously. Mrs.
Dohlberg’s husband is night watch
man at the Mitchell and was on duty.
A neighbor was called, but as the
man of the house was also absent the
two women were afraid to investigate.
They heard the calf being carried ofi
and next morning it was found all
bloody, and dead, on upper Dawson.
The other event occurred the night
following. A young man was walk
ing up the street. It was early, as
he was just on his way to make a call.
No thought of danger disturbed him,
and when just opposite a large oak
some one dealt him a blow over the
eye which sent him Yeeling and made
imaginary stars do a shadow dance
before his vision. He had no time to
be astonished. The attacking party
disappeared a3 mysteriously as he had
appeared' and had not the bruised eye
been painful proof, otherwise the
young man might have thought
m&gination had playol him a trick.
The Demorest Contest.
The lecture room of the Methodist
church was well filled on Thursday
evening with our best people to hear
the speeches delivered by the young
men who were contesting for the
Demorest medal. Our readers are
doubtless familiar with the object of
these contests. It is for the promo
tion of tho cause of temperance, and
was held under the auspices of the
Women’s Christian Temperance
Union.
The evening’s exercises were opened
with a song by the choir, and prayer
by Rev. Mr. Wynn, after which Mr.
Wynn made a few remarks and read
some statistics showing the amount
of whiskey sold and consumed in the
United States, tho enormous cost of
the same, and the per centage of
crime directly attributable to whiskey
drinking. After Mr. Wynn had
concluded, the programme proper was
commenced.
The first speech of the evening was
by Mr. John Stegall, on the subject:
‘Our Natiouul Curse.”
The next declamcr was Mr. Albeit
Beverly : “Boys of America.”
This was followed by a speech by
Mr. Tom Luke.
Miss Goldie Iugel saug a song next,
after which came the speech of Mr.
Muse Bu.ler—‘‘Walls of the City,”
“Tho Advertisement of an Honest
Rumseller,” by Mr. Clinton Betjman,
next claimed the attention of the au
dience.
Mr. Carlos Lynes followed with
the speech— 1 “Will America be For
ever Owned by the Saloons.”
The last speech of the evenifig was
by Mr. JoLu Betjman.
After a beautiful song by Mies
Norma Hike, “Have Courage roy
boy, to say no,” .Misses Mary Steph-
ad Annie Carroll rendered two
beautiful recitations.
While the choir sang a song, the
lies were given an opportunity to
;n a petition asking the government
suppress the sale of liquor, and
goodly number signed.
The judges, Messrs. E. M. Ma’lette
and W. A. Pringle, and Miss Speed,
had iu the meantime made up their
decision as to the winner of the medal,
and Mr. Ben McLendon, in a few
aud appropriate remarks, pre
en ted the medal to Mr. Carlos
Lyncs
God be with you till we meet
in,” was sweetly sung by the
choir, the bcucdiction was pronounced
by Rev. Mr. Wynn, aud the audience
dispersed much pleased with the en-
rtainment aud deeply impressed
ilh the work the ladies are doing in
the interest of temperance.
THOMASVILLE AS A RE
SORT.
The City a Veritable Paradise
For Children.
The Work of the Enumerators.
There will be a meeting of the
board of education on tbe first Tuts
day in March for the purpose of se-
loeatiug enumerators of the school
isus, and to assign their territory.
The board can employ one or more
enumerators to do the work. The
enumerator must be of age, must be
citizen of the county, and he will
not bo allowed’ to sub-let the work.
Two dollars per diem will be allowed
he word. They will be required
to go from bouse to house taking the
names and number of children be
tween six and eighteen years cf age.
It is ordered that the work of taking
the census must begin the 15th of
March and it must be cloied on the
20ih of May.
From llie Sar.-mna’i Nows.
Thomasville is remarkable for many
attractions, and ono of the chief of
these is the children. It is a veritable
children’s paradise. In tho great
number of children, native and tourist,
seen in its gardens and parks and its
boulevards it is actually unique. The
little fellows are visible on'all sides,
in nurses’ arms, in chariots that King
Philip could not have purchased for
the infant Alexander with a whole
province, in happy groups at play it
the open places and quiet streets.
Some are riding the cutest little Shet
land ponies and others are driving in
the snuggest of little carts. The goat
and velocipede are also still in vogue.
Tbo generation that is - to be reigns
supreme in this gayest of Georgia
towns. They are autocrats of both
the breakfast and diucer table, and
in many homes of the whole house,
A multitude of ths iunoceuts to the
manor born are annffaTTy joined in
these balmy spring days by another
multitude from half the states in this
great nation, and like the robins that
migrate southward, they need no in
troduction. Like the robins, they are
welcome. Thomasville ia growing
famous as the best of resorts for these
sweet budsot the human family. A
hotel or two that caters to the sedate
and invalid class may exclude them,
but the city, as a whole, receives them
with open arms. The numerous good
schools, the many pretty play grounds,
the happy, quiet suburbs, the broad
sunny streets, the salubrious air un
tainted by the many childish ail
ments, attract both parents and their
childijpn. They come to us with
husky voices and return singing like
a lark. They come to us with pallid
face and listless gait and return
springing like tho antelope while
rose3 are blooming on the dear little
cheeks. It makes the heart ache to
think of the thousands of little ones
who annually succumb to the ail
ments of the winter time in the frozen
regions further north, while the sun
shines warm and health giving for
rich and poor iu this happy land. It
is a pity that there should be so
many children who never have a
flower for their own, or a healthy
romp in the open country, when^the
woods down here are full of wild
flowers, and the whole*
play ground.

TO RESTORE THE FLAG.
The Donor Was a Lady of This
County.
At Rest.
e funeral ol the late A. Way
Bird look place Saturday afternoon
at the home of the deceased on Gor
don Avenue. Rev. Mr. Wynn con
ducted the services in a beautiful and
most impressive manner. The mem
bers of Neptune Fire Company,
of which Mr. Bird was a member, at
tended the funeral in a body, and the
following members acted as pall-bear-
Messrs.' Palin, Parnell Rogers,
Grant, Pittman, Mickler, Johnson and
Wertz. At the conclusion of the
services at the house the remains were
escorted by a large number of friends
and relatives of the deceased and
tenderly laid to rest by the side of
loved ones who had gone before
the old cemetery.
Mr. E R. Underwood, of Oconee,
has an interesting relic of the war. It
is the ta'tcred colors of tbe fifty-seventh
Georgia Regiment,which went through
several blcudy and hard fought battles
and has so many bullet holes through
it that they coul-J not be accurately
counted. It bears the following leg
end in bold letters : “D. B. Victory
or death. Aug, ioth, 1861.” D. B.
for Dixie . Boy®. The flag
presented to the fifty-seventh regiment
by a lady of this county whose name
he has forgotten. If Mr. Underwood
^certain who the doner was
will send it to her. If tho lady is
living perhaps some ot the family will-
recall the gilt of the flag. The colors
was used for two years, when the Con-
led*: rate flag was adopted by all the
regiments in order to avoid confusion
on the field of battle. It is forty inches
wide and seventy-two iuchcs long.
The attention of fruit growers in
this and adjoining counties is called
to the notice of Capt. Varnedoe, presi-
eent of the Thomas County Fruit
Growers Association, calling a meet
ing of the Association Gn Wednesday,
the firit day of March. The indica
tions point to a good fruit crop, and
thi question of rates and other mat
ters pertaining to the business will be
discussed. The meeting should be
attended by every fruit grower in this
section."
Signs of spring are heginningto ap

peach and plum are also in blossom.

'This place which has made such a

tained us roy.ally. They gave us
breakfast, dinner and a banquet in

morning. It is a. winter resort, but
aside from that it is noted for its
lumber, tobacco, grapes, pears, pine
woods, and tu rpentine farms. This
country is genei ally level, but around,
rolling a ad natural drainage.
Thomasville gai ned quite a notriety

Mrs. Af m l*. liindlaub, of' PlalUviUo %
II w. Witiuss:
In compliance with y out request I
have jotted down for y m k e rc a few
>iuts ab-.-.ut Thomasv' Ita. I think I
may claim to be acqu Mated with tbe
comparative advant® ges of tbe health
resorts of both t’jia country and
Europe, having dud i e d the records
of all of them and tev ie d practically
the merits cf many o1 them. Among
the southern wi&te resorts I find
Thomasville, Ga. v i icomparable and
for these reasons:
It is warm e nough for even the
most delicatd invalids to be out of
doors alniost constantly and bright
sun shiny days as tho rule.
2. Tbe hygp jmeter shows it to be
one of the «b yest places east of the
Rocky Mount? in plateau.
3. It has an elevation above sea
level of 350 fe 2t, which is said to be
the highest of any point between
Savannah and .-New Orleans.
rrounded by dense forests
f pine-woodi which give t-» tbe air
high errativo value in case of pulmon
ary and catarrhal disease.
The town has underground
age and a supply of particularly
;ood water from a deep artesian well.
n he hotels are among the best
to bo found anywhere and by com
mon consent of tourists are not ex
celled in the South.
The place aflords exceptional
educational facilities, churches of all
the principal denominations, good
society, no lack ot amusemer.t—-a
commodious opera house bevog one
of its features, and the adjacent woods
abound in game.
Very truly yours.
Boardmak Reed,”
We had a fine ride in the morning
given by the citizens, and in the
afternoon Mr. CunniDgham, Secretary
of State, and his amiable wife, invited
Mrs. Goe, of Whitewater, and myself
to another ride through Piney Woods,
past Piney Woods hotel, called the
Yankee’s Paradise; on good roads
past denso lorests, by beautiful
streams and Le Conte pear orchards
into the private grounds of Mr.
Wyman Jones, where we saw a herd
of deer, diflerent species of wild birds,
rustic places of retreat, and little
pickanmnies ready to open the gates
for us to enter or retire, ever eager
fer the coins that strangers threw to
them. The foliage was beautiful
here, especially the magnolias. We
drove through Fletcherville, a negro
village with lots of little negroes, and
only one painted house in the whole
village, but the inhabitants all seemed
well dressed. There was a Congrega
tional collge here but wo had no time
to visit it. A chain-gang of convicts
were working the sidewalks and roads.
The police were mounted on horse
back, a novel sight to us. Some of
the largest oak trees we ever beheld
were pointed out to us here. Some
very beautiful residences of peculiar
architecture were shown us. Mr. E.
Decker, of Anaphee, was negotiating
for one of these. If Thomasville
ehoqld’be so fortunate as to have Mr.
and Mrs. D. as residents, it would be
great gain for they would be a ben
efit to any community in which they
would cast their lot. The hospitality
of the people of Thomasville per
fectly carried away the entire party.
Ike editors, Mr* Triplett and Mr.
Ben McLendon, did all they could to
enteftain .their northern brethren.
Mr. B. McLendon is a writer of
considerable note, and. his address
before the Southern Immigration
Association was a scholarly produo
tion, showing the faith he had in his
native state of Georgia and her re
sources, and bidding all a welcome to
the Mecca of the religion of com
merce. While we were in Thomas
ville, Mr. McLendon took special
pains to make it pleasant for our
party, and he will long be remem'
bered by us. Tho Masury House
gave a very fine banquet under the
able management of Mr. D. W.
Pratt, and to which all did justice.
The banquet was truly “a feast of
reason and a flow a soul.” After the
hospitable welcome, Mrs. Rosamond
Follett, one of the brightest of women,
responded fittingly to a toast. Mr.
Ed. Coe a’so made a pleasing address.
Mr. Andrews, of Plankington, Dako
ta, responded for the Dakotans. Our
visit to Thomasville is one of the
brightest spots of our southern trip.
The
The Baptist Church Sold.
Dr. J. T. Culpepper, chairman of
the building committee of the Baptist
church, Monday opened the bids
that had been sent in for the church
property on Smith avenue, near the
Piney Woods Hotel. The highest
bid offered was that of Mr. A. D.
Thompson, of Plainfield, N. J., which
was 85,000. Mr. Thompson gets the
property, and a moat valuable piece
of property it is. We have not
learned what he expects to do with
it, but presume the purchase will be
improved. He takea possession the
first of next September, at which
time our Baptist friends expect to
have their new church ready for oc
cupancy. We congratulate Mr,
'ihompson on his purchase and the
church on the prospects of soon hav
ing a new house of worship.
■ Camp Hunt.
A ^arty consisting of Messrs. J. A.
Allen, J. T. B. Collins, L. Vanhus-
kirk and A. A. MacFarlan, besides
a crew of negro boatmen, spent last
week at Iamouia. They camped out
and enjoyed the trip as oul J sports
men can where there is found an
abundance of game. Small such
os duck and quail, kept th ** camp
larder well supplied, but it was Ihe
ambition of the hunters to kill a lai ^
alligator so as to take back to theii ’
home in the east some trophy of the
huut. In this they were successful.
The hide will be handsomely tanned.
Attention Fruit Growers.
A meeting of the Thomas Coun
ty Fruit Growers Association is here
by called to meet at the office of
Mayor Hopkins in Thomasville, on
Wednesday, the first day of March,
for the purpose of discussing freight
rates and to attend to such other
business as may come before the
meeting. Fruit growers from other
counties aro invited to meet with us.

South Georgia Military
College.
Now that this child of the state has
been abandoned not only by its
mother, but also by its foster-mother,
the university, pur city must throw
its protecting arms around it.
In a late issue of the Milledgeville
Union-Recorder the following
cerning the branch college there ap
pears:
“The petition to the city council to
erect Barracks for the cadets of the
M. G. M. & A. College has met a
hearty and generous response from
our citizens. Two-thirds of the vo
ters have already signed it and it will
probably be presented to the city
council to-day. The friends of the
College would be glad to have the
request as near unanimous as possi
ble and it is hoped other names will
yet be added.”
Here is a broad hint to the friends
of education in Thomasville. Our
city can’t make any mistake in mak
ing liberal and permanent provision
for the South Georgia Military Col
lege. Other enterprises may fail, but
one generation follows fast in the
footsteps of another, and education
go& on with increasing usefulness
forever.
The writer was recently appointed
on a committee to appear before the
educational and the finance committee
of the last legislature on behalf of a
continuance of the state appropria
tion to our college. He thought they
would be startled by his announce
ment that Georgia stands at the
lowest rung of the ladder of illiteracy,
and that the statistics in the office of
the United States commissioner of
education show it Our sapient (?)
law-makers and dispensers of.the pub
lic funds were utterly indifferent to
the mortifying fact.
Alas! Mr. Editor, there aro too
many Georgians who adopt the fol
lowing :
PRINCIPLES OF SCHOOL MANAGEMENT.
1. We pledge ourselves to the poli
cy of poor and cheap schools.
2. Wc demand the subordination
ot the teachers to the whims and
caprices of our children.
3. We execrate the course of a
principal who controls his school, as
such men aie costly, and, we think,
acquire a centralization of power.
4. We believe that anybody can
teach school.”
5. We believe that the success of
schools depends on the frequency of
change of teachers.
6. We do not favor any “new
fungi ed notions.” We think that a
knowing© tll ° “three Ra” are
enough a k°y*
7. The opinion that a want of at
tendance a. *i punctuality retards the
progress of t be pupil and injures the
school ia a mi*w assumption.
8. We mut nsiJy pledge ourselves
never to visit t he schools. We may
overawe the teavihcts aud “scare” the
children,
9. We shall denounce as dangeious
to tho liberty o i our children any
parent who shall visit the schools
either to encourage •’■he teachers or to
ascertain as to the truth of staXements
made by the pupils. . „ .
10. We shall accept with lDqphert
faith any statement made by pupils.]
11. We believe that teachers can;
do jost as good work withou t as with*
apparatus, maps, globes, charts or
black toards.
12. We do not know that there ia
any dignity attached to the otuce of
college president. We have been
taught to regard the president as a
thrashing machine.
Now, men actuated by the above
principles ive not apt to rise to such a
comprehension of what other states
of the nation r\nd other towns are
doing for the cause ol higher educa
tion. Such men need not proclaim
their views from a house top or a
state house rostrum, thv>ir acts are
sufficient to show that the}'' but waste
tl e. public money.
'xhe S. G. M. College, an orphan,
