A PECULIAR OFFENSE.
A Thief Makes Away With the
Church Communion Service.
ForVeahng from the church.* That
was the peculiar nature of the offense
for which M. C, White was pur on
trial in Judge Alexander’s court yes-
day. A part of the communion ser
vice, fixtures and furnishings was spec
ified in the warrant. The defeodint
is a white man. He plead not guilty.
Snodgrass and Hawkins were his rep
resentatives. The prosecutors were
the trustees of the church. County
Solicitor Hopkins looked after the
state’s interests. It developed that
White had stolen the service from the
home of God, and hid it under a log
in a swamp. When arrested he offer
ed to show the place to the officer if
he would not hurt him.
The man does not seem to be partic
ularly bright. He has been in trouble
several times before. Judge Alexan
der adjudged him "guilty, and fined
him $100 or six mouths on the works-
It would appear from the remarks
made by Judge Alexander in passing
sentence, that he considers a church
edifice a sacred building, and that all
its fixtures and furnishings are equal
ly sacred, and that no man who has
sense enough to distinguish right irom
wrong, can violently enter said church
and steal therefrom any of its fixtures
or furniture, without incurring the
penalty provided by law for the of- :

That was a most delightful piogres-
8ive whist party given under the
auspices of Miss Bessie Witham, of
Boston, Mas3., and Miss Grace Wil

with the prize is a question, as it

On a piece of paper attached were
e words: “Always Behind.”
The first ladies prize, an elegant
souvenir spoon, was won by Mrs.
Adelbeit Porter. The ladies second
prize was captured by Miss Grace
Wilron, of Chicago. She bent all
competitors for this prize. Iu order
that the prize might not get away
from the fair representative of the

green ribbon.
The Palmetto was made a bower of
beauty for the occasion. The * hall
ways and parlor were tastefully aud
profusely decorated with palmB, pot

The artistic hand of women was
p’ainly seen in the pretty arrange
ments and dainty decorations on
every hand. A very choice collation
was partaken of at a late hour. This,
like every other portion of the even

one present.
Mrs. Porter entertained the party
with some choice selections of both
vocal and instrumental music. Mrs.

We understand that a cigar box
factory will be one of the next enter

It has been noticed that the worst

noticed. They take more interest,

knocking the guard in the head if an
opportunity to escape presented itself.
Thomasville has received her first
installment of Cubans and a new

A Thing of Beauty.
* One of the handsomest thins
kind we have ever seen is the large
beautifully illustrated book contain
ing the proceedings of the 24th an
nual medtiogand excursion of the
Michigan Press . Association. The
book is gotten up- in elegant style,
containing over one hundred pages,
making a brief history written by the
editors themselves^ 'narrating ’ the
events associated with the annual
session in Ann 'Arbor add the delight
ful excursions winch followed in a
trip thrdugk Dixie, illustrated with
portraits of members and kodak
views of scenes visited. The work
was arranged and compiled by Mr.
B. J. Lowrcy. ex secretary of the as
sociation . ’
it will be remembered that the
Michiganders visited 'Thomasville
while on their outing and two - pages
of the book are devoted to describing
their stay here. It also has a very
handsome picture of the press party
taken on the veranda of the Piney
Woods Hotel.. We take the follow
ing extract from what is said about
the'place: • „ -
Thomasville is located in the ex
treme south-western part of Georgia,
about 12 miles from the Florida line
and fifty miles from the gulf, and is
surrounded by pine forests and tur>
pen tine farms.
The Piney Woods Hotel is one of
the finest hotels in the south and this
is saying a good deal - , for nowbete in
tho world will be found as fine hotels
i the Booth, and to class the Piney
Woods with them is certainly a com
pliment, but nevertheless, it is well
deserved. Here we enjoyed one of
the best meals that had been set be
fore us since leaving Cincinnati, and
one very peculiar feature in connec
tion with it was that when we stepped
up to the desk to settle, the clerk
very politely informed ua that “Mich
igan money didn’t go at that, house.”
carriage drive about the city
revealed one thing at least, and that
is that Thomasville is one of the most
progressive cities that the sun shines
-north or south. Somehow it
an air of life and activity about
it that strikes the visitors most forci
bly. The streets are broad aud well
kept; the business blocks large and
handsome, and many of the residences
as modern as will fie found any
Governor. Merriam,
Governor W. R. Merriam and
family, of St. Paul, who have been
spending some months here, will
leave for their Western home to
morrow. 'The governor ha?, by his
genial good humor, pleasing address
and happy deportment,made a host of
friends in Thomasville who, while
regretting to see him leave, will fol
low him to his Western home with
genuine good wishes for his happi
ness and prosperity. We are pleased
to learn that he will, in the future,
make Thomasville his winter home.
He will always find a warm hearted
southern welcome awaiting him in
Thomasville.
e elevation of Thomasville is
considerably greater than that of
most southern cities and the wellkuown
health fulness of the place is large
ly attributed to this fact. It is the
county seat of Thomas county and
the surrounding country is most
favorably adapted to agriculture and
fruit growing. The city has a good
system of water works, the supply
; obtained irom artesian wells,
and it is lighted by both gas and
electricity. Its sanitary condition*
are of the highest possible order and
the educational facilities are excep
tionally good. They have a large
female college, and also a branch col
lege of the State University, with free
tuition, besides the Allen Normal In
dustrial School for the higher educa
tion of the colored race. They boast
of au exceptionally fine opera house,
while their hotels are par excellence,
and this latter statement is substanti
ated by the fact that the town is
already quite widely known as a win
ter resort—there being none better in
the bouth.
Thomasville is growing rapidly,
and bids fair to become one of the
largest—it is already one of the best
—cities south of Mason and Dixon’s
line. 'Every member of the Associa
tion was favorably impressed with it,
aud while we cannot ia this brief
article do the place justice, we shall
in the future have moro to say of this
lively city.
In the southern-portion ol Georgia,
will bo found large tracts of pine
timber. This -pine very much re
sembles our Norway, but does not
attain - the size of Michigan pine.
Like our piue plains, there is very
little undergrowth, and one can look
land or estimate timber all day with*
a horse and buggy. The soil is sandy,
though very productive to the growth
of certain root crops.
Watermelons appear to be the
staple crop, and whole farms are de
voted to this luscious fruit. Georgia
melons enjoy a wide reputation and
their cultivation is just as much of
an industry with as what is with
Michigan farmers. Daring the ship
ping season the railroads xre taxed to
their utmost to furnish can for the
shipment of these melons.
On the Run.
The meet on Tuesday' morning
well attended, there being about
seventy-fiye present, about thirty
ia the saddle; among whom
Miss Florence Oarke.of Chctgo;
Miss.Budd, of Florida; Miss Jones, of
Utica * N. Y.; Mrs. Murphy, Mrs. T3e-
Monihao.
Messrs. J. B. King, Charles Chapin,
C. H. Collins of Boston. Harry Clarke
of Germantown, H. W. Hopkins, T.
N, Hopkins, Banks Hil!, R. P. Doss,
Jack .CuTtright, John Merriam ol St.
Paul, Master Fred Collins, J.,S. Mal
lard, C. H, Cook of Trenton, N. J.
Mr. Lyons, Master Frank Witham, P.
Schano, Frank 'Seaton and others,
whose names we failed to get.
The start was made in front of - Col.
Mclntye’s residence. The ‘ course
taken by the fox was favorable for the
riders, enabling them to keep well
with the hounds through the woods to
Elsoma, near which the vehicles were
passed. ..Crossing the Boulevard,
Reynard laid his course northeast
through the pines, “tacking” several
times and then making a straight run
for the city. He was so closely pressed
that when almost in the city limits he
he went up a tree which was reached
first by Judge Hopkins, almost the
entire party being close in at the time.
One lady and one gentleman were
unhorsed, but not hurt, Mr. C. H.
Cook of Trenton, N. J., had the mis
fortune to have his saddle girth break,
but lost no time, for he pluckily
mounted his horse bare back and was
in at the finish. The hounds were
tied and the fox given a good start.
His second wind proved better than the
first for he was finally voted his liberty
near the ibree mile post on the Talla
hassee Road, where the dogs were
called off at twelve o’clock (the start
having been made at ten thirty) and
the party being satisfied with the days
sport. “Possum Tim” the keeper of
Mr. Chapin’s hounds,however, was not
satisfied, for after the party left he put
dogs on the trail and captured the fox
near the five mile post on the Spring
Hill road.
Mr. Chapin’s gray, mouuted by his
graceful rider, could be seen through
most of the ebase by the entire party,
as he was usually in front of them
except when out of sight in the same
direction. One of the best and most
fearless riders was little Fred Collins,
of Boston. Every one admired the
beautiful little mare ridden by Mr.
J. B. King, and the mauner in which
he rode her. It is likely there will
be at least one chase each week dur
ing the remainder of this season.
Phosphate.
It is not generally known, perhaps,
that cne of the richest and most ix-
teueive finds of phosphate is on the
lands of Mr. Jona3 Courtney, just
across the Florida line. This deposit
is on the Phosphalalake, and has
been tested to a depth of 30 feet,
showing a solid biid of soft white
phosphate. It has been analyzed
and shows 80 per cent of pure phos
phate. Below the 30 foot bed of
phosphate is found a bed of phosphoric
acid rock. 'We have been shown
specimens'by Mr.. Courtney of these
rocks. They are in inexhaustible
quantities and only need development
to become a paying investment. The
bed is right alongside the line of the
projected railroad from Tallahassee
to ThouaasviUe. It is, without doubt,
very valuable property.

Harris, of this place, who is a nephew
of theirs, went to - administer to hie
aid and were joined by Dre. Jelks and

loving friends and medicine could do
could not prolong his life. Hia place
cannot be filled. He was perfectly

ol the Sundaj School, besides being
one of the best physician? in the coun
try. Yes, he will be missed, and his

It is amusing to Eee how eagerly the
people grab the guano when a car
load arrives at McDonald. They
will get an order for it, and when
the order calls for more than a load,
bow they dump it out on the road side
and trot back for it before another
wagon cuts them out.

been on hard ground it would have

Shamrock.

to-morrow,” called out. Contractor
Wm. Miller yesterday. Thr^e years
ago Mr. Miller brought back with
him a few sprays of shamrock se
cured from the Phoenix Park in Dub-
This was planted out in his
flower garden. He was doub'ful if it
would survive tn this climate, but it
did and now the shamrock is thriving
just as green as that which gr jws on
the hills of old Ireland.
This pretty emblem of “Old Erin”
will be worn over many Irish hearts
on this S:. Patrick’s day, for there is
no custom more generally observed
than “wearing of the green.”

first round for the purpose ol rcceiv-
ix returns on Saturday, April
1st. lie wi s l be at the clerk’s office
in the court house iu this city during

will not be amiss, perhaps, to state
that the law now requires that the
tax payer shall give in all property
in his possession on the first day of
March instead of the first day of
April as Formerly.

The Blanks Here.
The old Confederate soldiers of
Thomas county who by reazon of
wonnds or loss of limbs are entitled
to a pension from the state of Geor

their applications. Judge Merrill,
of the court of ordinary, has received
the necessary blanks from the depart
