The Church—Its Advantages.
The desireableness of any town or
community, is largely - determined by
the number and character of its
churches, the quality and devouttaes
of its worshipers, and the largeness 01
smallness of its attendant congrega
tions. All, even those who rarely<
ifeverjattend upon Divine service,
agree that the church is a great cons
rfervative force and an agency in so
ciety; both in its restraining, and its
uplifting power. Few persons would
be willing to rear their families in
any community where there was ncr
church, and no gospel of Christ pro
claimed. All citizens alike, thou, en
joy the direct or indirect benefits that
come to their community from the
presence aud influence of the church
of Christ. It would seem, therefore,
that every good citizen and lover of
orderliness—to say nothing of moral
ity—would feel impelled, and io duty
bound, to sustain and encourage by
their-personal presence and helpful
ness, the building, supporting and
attendance upon the worship of their
churdhes. It does seem also, that
every right minded and honorable cit
izen, and especially heads of families,
ought to attend the worship of some
church on Sunday, and this oughf to
apply not only to permanent residents,
but to those also, who sojourn for a
time to enj >y the advantages of the
communi y. Our little city is fairly
well supplied with churches, where
devout congregations gather each
Lord’s day to worship the God of
their fathers, and implore HU bless*
ings upon the souls and bodies of men,
residents and visitors, here and every
where. The Pastors and members
of these churches are striving to ele
vate the standard of morals in our
community, properly train and save
our childreu, rescue the fallen, and
bring blessing to all who come within
our gates. For several months dur
ing the winter and spring, our city is
filled up with those who come among
us to enjoy the benefits of our genial
and health giving climate, and the
hospitalities of our most worthy citi
zens. And coming, as they do, from
every pait of our common country,
we give them a most cordial and
hearty welcome, feeling the truth of
the beautiful utterance, “Behold, how
good and how pleasant it is fur breth-
to dwell together in unity.” Mas
ny of these visitors are communicants
or attendants of churches at their
homes, and we extend to them a
Christian invitation and welcome to
meet and worship with us io our
churches, do us all the good possible,
and allow us to reciprocate the favor.
I know it has becoraosalmost a hab
it with many, when away from their
homes, to neglect going to church.
But in our little Christian community
it would be so pleasant and Christlike
to have all, citizens and visitors,
meet and mingle and worship togeth
er on the Holy Sabbath day.
The writer—Pastor of the Method
ist church in this city—with his entire
membership, exteuds to all, an ear
nest invitation to meet and worship
with us, promising you the very best
Binging, praying and preaching of the
simple word of truth and life we are
able to render, and wo feel persuad
ed all the other churches and Pastors
will do the same. Citizens of Thom>
asvil’e, give us your moral support
and your presence in our congrega
tions, and invite your visiting friends
to accompany you or join you, and
good will come to us all.

BYSTANDER WRITES.
Jacksonville Graphically
Touched Up.
Jacksonville, Fla., March 8.—
List night in Jacksonville was one
of the kind we read about The
wind blew big guns and it rained
frogs and forks. There was such a
steady pour of water that yon could
scarcely distinguish between Bay
street and the 8t Johns river. Yon
coaid almost expect to see one of the
big steamboats come sailing up the
street and blowing for a landing at
the Carlton hotel, or the Sonth Jack
sonville ferry-boat, like a monster
turtle with a head at both ends,
swishing around Togni’s corner ins
stead of stopping at the market dock.
But the people here are familiar with
water, and plenty of it; they don't
mind it so long as it is confined to its
proper place, which for not a few, is
best illustrated by the reply of a Tex
as cow-boy, when warned by a tele
graph operator to stand aside as he
wished to dash a bucket of water on
the floor, said, “let it dash, water
won't hurt a man as long as you keep
it outside of him."
* * *
Did you ever observe how similar
the migratory disposition between the
bird and human family; bow the
changing seasons sends them off in
flock and multitude for different
climes and lands? Jnst now the
trend of travel is southward. The
tourist, the prospector, the home
seeker, the invalid, all turn their faces
to this mecca of their ambitions and
hopes It is not material now to es
timate the number who reap the har
vest of realization or chew the bitter
cud oi disappointment; they are all
here. Florida is full, and Jackson
ville of course gets a lion’s share.
The published list of daily arrivals
run up in the hundreds at each hotel.
All the larger caravansaries are in fall
blast and the lesser ones too; with
good markets, high rates, paying pa
trons with fat pocket books, all is se
rene and happy in that particular
line.
* * *
Jacksonville is moving forward
with no uncertain step. Evidence of
prosperity and progress are on every
hand. The new government build
ing under construction is taking
sbapo and form and will be a mag
nificent srtucture when completed.
The masonic temple just erected on
Bridge street, five stories in height,
is of an imposing nature and like the
Pulitzer building of New York, des
tined to become a land mark to fol
lowing generations. The movement
for hew pavements is at last assuming
tangible shape. For a long time the
authorities have halted between sever
al opinions as to what material should
be chosen for this purpose. The cy
press blocks bad proven such a dis
mal and costly failure, that to make
haste slowly in another effort has been
the prevailing policy; hat a decision
has been reached at last; they will
use brick, vitrified-brick, they are
called.
substantial growth. This 1 city and its
welfare in the pride of every Floridian*

The sab-tropical exposition

there is a charm in the surroundings

ment.

Miss Clara Deisher.
We are sure that, in saying all re
gret to see Miss Deisher leave Thom
asville, we but reflect the sentiments
of every one here who has had busi-
ness with the telegraph office daring
the past seven years. Miss Deisher
took charge of the office here on the
1st. day of September, 1885, and
has since, except during short vaca
tions, had control of the W. U. T. Co.,
in Thomasville. Her* administration
has not only been perfectly satisfacto
ry to the patrons of the office, but to
the management of this great corpora
tion as well. She has shown the fin-
cst business qualifications, coupled
with an accommodating disposition at
all times. The company has not had
a more efficient representative any
where.
Miss Deisher tendered her resigna
tion sometime ago, hut it has only
been accepted within the past few
days. She goes to her home in Penn
sylvania, leaving on Monday, carry
ing with her the jesteero, friendship
and best wishes of the people of Thom
asville for her future welfare and pros*
perity.

City. His old friends here are de

In appearance this is nothing more
or less than the ordinary building
brick, except that it is very hard.
The pressed brick generally used in
house fronts gives' the clearest idea.
The vitrified paving brick is not
qmte so smooth and of darker color.
They are a compromise between bel-
gian blocks and asphalt. Not so
rough and noisy as the former and
less expensive than the latter. They
are laid edge up, exposing a surface of
2 by 8 inches, 4 inches in depth upon
a concrete or cement foundation with
the interstices of about \ inch pack
ed with sand. They really form an
attractive and servicable pavement.
Several crossings in the city where
traffic is heaviest has been laid with
them for quite a time and a critical
examination fails to reveal any de
fect. A rapid replacement by these
brick of the unsightly blocks which
have long since become an absolute
nuisance will be one of the longest
strides ever taken for the advance
ment of the city’s welfare and inter
est.

want * thing they want it bad, and
once their mind made up there is no

Long ago it was decided that mule

and development that will exceed
any previous effort. Not a boom I
booms art exploded here, but a steady
Speaking of lectures, Dr. McGlynn
of recent fame and fortune, holds forth
at the Park Opera House to night.
His subject is one full of interest to
many of us, “how to abolish pover
ty.” The Times-Union pithily ob
serves that if ,he can practically
demonstrate his theories, neither the
opera house or the adjacent park
ould suffice to contain his audience.
The Doctor is a good man, a great
man, learned and pious, but it is
generally conceded that upon the sul>
jectof abolishing poverty he allows his
illusions to run away with his judge
ment. The very first lesson he in
culcates is that the poor who attend
shall pay 50 cents to hear him.
Therefore unless they obtain value
received in some tangible way not
now apparent, instead of abolishing
their poverty he commences by mak
ing them poorer. Why, what would
we do with poverty were its abolish
ment possible and where could we
send it to ? This world of ours would
become extremely monotonous if we
all were rich. If is beyond question
that the desire for money and its
acquirement is the greatest motive
power upon earth that caters to de
velopment of mind and matter and
comfort of body and soul. Abolish
poverty, and at one blow you strike
off the greatest of incentives to hu
man labor and run directly counter
to the Divine command, “by the
sweat of the brow shalt thou eat thy
bread.” Poverty is not a very ats
tractive thing to contemplate in the
abtract, but really it is not such an
unpleasant companion after all,
especially when you become used to
it, and it has been with some of us so
long we should feel very lonesome to
have it suddenly abolished. Lets
hold on to it a little while longer.

Captain Triplett;
Will you kindly permit are to ex»
press my gratitude and thanks
through the columns of yourjvalued
paper, to Dr. A*. P. Taylor, and Dr.
T. M. Mo Intosh for their kind at
tention, skill and patience displayed
in my recent illness. They 'have
proven themselves to be true disciples
of Galen—the father of medicine; and
Thomasville may well be prond of
possessing physicians of such broad
intellect and skill.
I also wish to thank the people of
Thomasville for their kind hospitality
and sympathy shown to a srtanger.
The visitors here have also shown
that great and innate sympathy,
which exists between tourists when in
trouble and illness, for which I am
truly grateful.
I cannot refrain from expressing
my[esteem and admiration for the
pharmacists of Thomasville for the
promptitude and exactness in com
pounding my prescriptions.
Very respectfully,
Dr. Samuel Goodman.
“Springtime cometh, gentle Annie.’
We are neither a poet or the_son of
one, and we shall not frame our re
marks in verse, but it is a matter for
regret that any one should be insensi
ble to the mysterious forces of nature
that are now arousing her from the
long wintry sleep. With Tennyson we
can exclaim:
‘•Mj lore for" nature is os old a;
He is the wiser who studies nature
closest, and the happier who learns her
secret; 5 . The law that governs con
traats makes tho sun shine with unusual
radiance above every leaf and shrub
that bowed its head in last nights
storm, and it is with exhilarating
pleasure we note the atmosphere is
full of those subtle influences which
nature operates to stir her children to
life and sensibility.
Early springtime is here. Let us
rejoice! Nature is arousing herself in
a new resurrection; the earth is filled
with melody, fragrance floats in the
air and birds sing the psalm that
thanks the Lord for life so sweet.”
We cannot be insensible to the life
germs which to day bursts the bonds
of narrowness and opens leaf and
flower to the delights of existences
There is a strong union of sympathy
between the animate and inanimate so
that what gives life to one brings joy
to the other, and we are only a link
the great chain whose beginning and
end are alike in the hands of the
Mighty Artificer.

A Thomasville Party.
The Tallahasseean of this week
says:
“On Thursday last a jolly party of
ladies and gentlemen came over from
Thomasville, Ga„ to Florida’s capital
city in an attractive private convey
ance. The party consisted of Mrs.
Sibley, of Bennington, Vt., Mrs.
Miles, of Boston, Mass., Miss Lizzie
Fitzgerald, of Danville, Va., Miss
Sarah Woodson, of Tbomasville, Ga.,
Mr. T. J. Fitzgerald, of Danville,
Va., Mr. E. H. Swift, of Spokane,
Wash., Mr. F. W. Miles, of Boston,
Mass., and Mr. Herbert Limberger,
of New Haven, Conn. The drive
over was a most delightful one through
beautiful country. Friday was
spent in visiting the capitol and other
points of interest with friends, and all
seemed charmed with our lovely hill
city and its pleasing surroundings.
The members of the party made
many friends here during their brief
stay, who will be glad to welcome
them frequently in the future.”

Died.
Friday evening, at 10 o'clock, in
in this city, Arthur Lewis, infant son
ot Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Pinson. The
funeral services were held at the resi

mediately after which the remains
were interred in Laurel Hill cemetery.
The bereaved parents have the
heartfelt sympathy of all.
\ An Escape Captured.
'Robert Henry, alias “Jesse James,”
is wearing the stripes and shackles
again. Twelve days ago he escaped
from the chain gang. The surround
ing towns wero notified, and Sheriff
Patterson picked him up at Bain-
bridge.^ Marshall Spair went over
Sunday and brought the prisoner back.
Henry is quite a notorious tough.
His greatest escapade here, and for
which be-isdoiug service, was for en*
gaging in the riot last spring. He
and severs*. as reckless companions
terrorized a negro portion of the towD,
fighting and shooting.
Next day they fled to tho suburbs,
where they defied arrest. One of
them, it will, bo remembered, was
shot by Deputy Singletary. At the
trial they were given one year on the
gang each That was from the
24th of May. Henry has yet
nearly three months to servo on the
original sentence. He will then be
given a trial for running away.
They Are Here.

the F. C. & P. Ry., at 5:50. Owing
to the fact that few knew of the time
of their arrival not a large crowd was
at the depot to sec the new citizens,
but Mr. W. II. Mitchell was there
to take them in charge. About
eighty-five were iu the party, count
ing children.
As soon as they stepped from the
train a man who seemed to be a leader
talked some Spanish to them, and
instantly every hat came off. The
leader then approached Mr. Mitchell
and spoke as follows: “We appre
ciate the kind invitation qt you and
Mr. del Pino to Thomasville and now
three cheers fur Mitchell, del Pino
and Thomasville.” The chee/s would
have done honor to a Yale football
team. The new arrivals stopped at
the City Hotel and other places last
night. Thia parly will be followed
by others as accommodations can be
prepared for them.-
