The probabilities are that the melon acreage will not be as large as last , but the farmers are preparing to increase their food :rop. Dr. Byron removed a second try cataract from the eye ot Mr. \Y m. Vaughn yesterday. The doctor is 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. NOTICE. The firm of J. S. Rozicr k Co., i J. d. Kozif.3, A. J, McGeachby. 2 4 4tW. 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. i.ry is 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 pear. The wild violet and yellow j icsemine make the woods beautiful with their bright colors, while the peach and plum are also in blossom. The Messrs. Steyermen are gettir] in some lovely spring goods.

Tile Editors of Wisconsin and Southern Dakota Take Trip Down South. om Tho Grant County Witness, Wisconsin. thomasville. 'This place which has made such a good impression upon oiir party was reached Monday morning. The editors were met by a committee of citizens and taken to tbe diflereiit hotels. The Wisconsin people were taken to the Stoart. The S. Dako tans to another.. Thomasville enter tained us roy.ally. They gave us breakfast, dinner and a banquet in the evening and a -carriage ride in the 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 during the yell- jw fever scare, having twice opened h »r dc ors to refugees. Hundreds came but fortunatelymo case of fever develop 2d here. While sitting ou the porch listening to the negro melodies, who were fine singers, had au invitation f. rom Dr. Board- man Reed, formerly in >m Lancaster, to go to his borne, whei e we met his estimable wife and w< ere presented with a boquet of roses £a m bis own garden.

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. L. L Varnedoe, Prest. T. C. F. G. A. Pro- County Commissioner’s ceedings. Omc* Bo ash County Comjussioseis, TnoxASViLLB, Ga., Feb. 16, 18S3. Board met, Present—Hon. A. P. Wright, Chairman; Commissioners Finn, Lilly and Bullock. The following resolution was adopted : Whereas,JThc Governor of tho State of Georgia has required that'M.W. Simmons,the tax collector who was elected the 4th day of January, 1833, should execute a new bond, because there was an informality in the bond executed on the 6th day of Feb ruary, 1393, end the board of county com missioners having assembled this d.iy at the request of A. P. Wright, chairman of the bo ird of county commissioners, It is ordered that M. W. Simmons execute a new bond in conformity with the order of the Governor. M. W.

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.

Two more places in the cabinet re main to be filled, Attorney-General and Secretary of the Navy. Herbert, of Alabama, or Culberson, of Texas, may get iu. Turpin, of Alabama, will probably be remembered by Waugh, of Indi ana. The Alabamian went for the Hocsier statesman on the floor of the house on Friday. Grover appears to be looking after the weat. Keep your eye on that section in 1896. There will be anoth er landslide and it will be toward the democratic parly. Three more places in the cabinet remain to be filled, the navy, agricul tural and attorney general. These appointments will probably be an nounced thia'week. According to evidence before a con gressional committee, three bankers in the United States received 8400,- 000, each, of the Panama Canal money. Preity round sums, these. A Cincinnati syndicate will erect a large and modern hotel at High Point, on Cumberland Island. The hotel will cost $200,000. Work will commence very soon. Georgia is getting to be a great resort state. The latest cabinet gossip, as to the three remaining places, puts Mr. French, of Connecticut, Secretary of the Navy; Judge Culberson, of Texas, Attorney-General, and Ex Goveroor Glick, of Kansas, in the Agricultural department. The man who fired the first shot at Fort Sumter died the other day. This makes about nineteen of ’em who have died within the past few years. Several more will die in the future. They are about as numerous as George Wash ington’s body servants, several of whom still survive. ffta: Gentlemen:—Governor Northen directs me to return the enclosed bond, and to flay that while the signature of the tax collector M.

For the past six weeks his case has, been almost a hopeless one, though, his friends were hopeful that his strong constitution would puD him through.
