The weather <>f the past few days has been very suggestive of picnics and redtbugs. There is a great deal ol building to be done in Thomasville this spring and summer. The s’reets were well supplied with music last night. Two traveling bards held forth. Miss Anna Hamilton, oi Athens, is visiting her sister, Mrs. 8: G Mc Lendon, at the latter’s beautiful su burban home, Inverness. Capt. Walters has shamrock grow ing in the window of his saloon on Jackson street. Everybody knows where the shamrock grows Mr. Raines Mitchell brought into town yesterday one of the largest wild turkeys seen this season. It weighed twenty-two pounds. The time for quail shooting closes April 1-1. The hunters ouly have a short time longer to enjoy the sport. There have been plenty of birds this season. Mr. W. W. Thompson, of Smith- ille, a brother of the Messrs. Thomp son of this city, and one of the largest fruit growers in the stete, is in the city. Mrs. Jones, who is manager of the W. U. T. office here, has rented and will occupy the Rainey residence on Madison street. Now that street cars are a-sured, a telephone system will no doubt soon follow, and La Cubans City and Thomasville will he additionally link ed together. We understand that the Exchange and Banking Company will give em ployment to all the laborers they can get. There is no excuse for idleness now. There is p’enty of work, at good pay, at La Cubana. 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- : fense of larceny from the house Parents and guardians should assist the enumerators all they can in ob taining the information sought by them under thetr directions, for it is believed that this census will be made .luable to the school interests of the state. One of the best of Thomasvilie's contractors says he has just about all work under contract he will be able to attend to this summer. In his books are several new houses. Building is going to be on a great boom. We were informed yesterday by one our live real estate agents that there are less vacant houses in town now thau at any time within a num ber of years. There is quite a de mand for houses and those having vacant ones find no trouble in rent ing at a good price. One of the incidents of the fox chase yesterday was the bareback ait perfot raed by one of the foremost riders. In some way his saddle girt broke. Without pausing for a mo ment the rider slipped the saddle from beneath him, and went it full tilt bareback. The clang, clang, of the electric car as if spins along through the streets Is soon to be heerd in Thomaaville. work upon the new road having al ready begun. The time when the gong will sound again cn Americus’ electric line has not yet been deter mined.—Americus Times Recorder Progressive Whist. That was a most delightful piogres- 8ive whist party given under the auspices of Miss Bessie Witham, of Boston, Mas3., and Miss Grace Wil son, of Chicago, at the Palmetto, on Tuesday evening. There were ten couples occupying five tables, and the playing was both spirited and inter esting. The following partiea were present: Mrs. M. A. Witham, Bcs ton, Mass.; Miss Bessie Witham, Bos ton; Mrs. J. T. Culpepper, City; Mrs. S. A. Robison, Boston; Miss Louise Krapfel, St. Paul; Mrs. A. Sternberg, St. Paul; Mrs. Adelbert Porter, Wiuona, Minn.; Mrs. C. F. Wousod, Boston; Mrs. H. O. Roberts, Buster-; Mrs. J. W. Krapfel, St Paul; Mies Grace Wilson, Chicago; Miss Fannie Evan6, City, and Messrs. J. T. Cul pepper. City; llr. Samuel Goodman, Boston; Adelbert Porter, Winona, Minn.; J. E. B Love, City; Frank M. Seaton, Des Moines, Iowo; J. E. Robison, City; S R. Robison, Citj; Ben McLendon, City; C. F. Wonson, Boston, aud Geo. W. Parsons, Boston. The gentlemen’s first prize, a band- some silver hat band, was won by Mr. Geo. W. Parsons. Mr. Jo Robison tied Mr. Parsons for this prize, but lost in cutting for the priz-a. Mr. Rai ford Robison and Mr.Purter tied for the booby prize, bul Mr. Robuon was the. winner. What Ruiford will do with the prize is a question, as it proj*erly belongs to the opposite sex. 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 World’s fair city, it was tied with a 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 plant", evergreens and cut flowers. 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 ing, w.as very much enjoj-ed by every one present. Mrs. Porter entertained the party with some choice selections of both vocal and instrumental music. Mrs. Porter has a fine voice, well cultivated, and she fingers the ivory keys with the touch of an artist Miss Witham and Mies Wilson proved themselves most charming entertainers. The Palmetto is a pleasant and popular place. We understand that a cigar box factory will be one of the next enter prises to start up in Thomasville. With the large number of cigar facto ries that will soon be in operation here, we see no reason why such an enterprise could not be made to pay. Thomasville is bound to be a man nfacturing center. It has been noticed that the worst criminals on the gang make the best workmen. This tact has always been noticed. They take more interest, and need less urging than those who are in for some petty offense. Never theless they would think nothing of knocking the guard in the head if an opportunity to escape presented itself. Thomasville has received her first installment of Cubans and a new Spanish town wlil be built in the vicinity. A company is formed to manufacture cigars on a large scale and other manufacturing enterprises will soon follow. From this Thom- asville will take on new life and will mike great progress as the Queen City of Southwest Georgia.—Whig- ham Grit. 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. . McDonald has six business houses now and by fall we. expect to see prob ably as many more stores up. * Dr. Harris has completed, the house to be useehas a parsonage, and. it is a comtnodioru one. Our pastor in charge of Brooks circuit, Rev. Mr. Littlejohn, is now a resident of Mo Donald. We welcome him. m ■ We are sorry to chronicle the death of Dr. J. T. Clower, of. Morven, Brooks county. He died after a short illneas. His brother, Dr. W, P. Glower, of Cairo, and Dr. J. F. Harris, of this place, who is a nephew of theirs, went to - administer to hie aid and were joined by Dre. Jelks and Gaolden,of Quitman, -but all that loving friends and medicine could do could not prolong his life. Hia place cannot be filled. He was perfectly resigned, a Christian of much worlh to the community and superintendent ol the Sundaj School, besides being one of the best physician? in the coun try. Yes, he will be missed, and his place cannot be filled,. Five hundred witnessed the iaterrment, which took place at Mount Zton church, on the 13th inst. Mr. P. J. Franklin, of Kansas City, Mo., is visiting friends and • relatives at McDonald, “Dock” looks as natu ral as ever, aud his friends are glad to see him. Miss Lila Hancock, of Chaires, Fla., has been visiting her uncle, Mr. W. L. Hancock, of this place. Miss Chastain, of Ochlockonee, has been visiting her sister, Mrs. W. L. Hancock. James G. Beatty is back from the Atlanta Medical College, where he haajust graduated. Dr. Beatty will probably locate at Morven, Brooks county. 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. Mr. T. N. Reddick will soon move iuto his new dwelling at this place, from Patten. Ho goes .into business with Mr. John P. McGraw. McDon aid gladly welcomes Tom. There was a wreck on the Boston and Albany Railroad last week. Some malicious person fastened the end of aqiole on the track and one of the box cars was turned completely over, falling on Mr. B»rry PyleB, burying him in a mud hole. Had it been on hard ground it would have killed him outright. He will proba bly recover. Dr. Harris dressed his wounds. We learn that Dr. J. B. Watkics, of Thomasville, has located at Dot, and will practice his profession in that vicinity. The saw and hammer can be heard on all sides iu McDonald. Yours, “sornv more” later, P. M. W Married. — At the home of the bride’s mother, in Fletcherrille, last night, Dr.: H. C. Walker end Mi^ Ida Wood. Key. A. M. Wynn officiated. Only a few friends besides the family were pres ent The groom is from Board in an, Fla., and immediately after tho cere mony the couple took the 7:25 train for that place. Congratulations are extended. mm Whirr of The Saw. .- Dekle’s mill is now converting the pines at La Cabana into lumber. The whirr. of the saw started yesterday on its job of cutting one million and more feet of lumbfer. Steam was gotten up in the mill late Wednesday and Alderman Stephens was tho .first to Bound the whistle. Shamrock. Say that every Irishman in Thom asville can get shamrock at my home 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.” As will be seen by ad published elsewhere Mr. Joeeph F. McCann, tax receiver, will commence or. his 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 court week. In this connection it 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. Mr. Horace E. Thompson and fain ily will vacate their pretty southern home in Thomasville to-day and leave for St. Paul. Mr. Thompson is a pioneer among our western visitors. He has been spending his winters here for many years, and no one appreci ates the advantages ofThomasville as a winter resort more than he. His friends, and they are many, wish him a pleasant journey to his western home, and a safe return to Thomas- ville next winter. 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 gia, can now come forward and fi’e their applications. Judge Merrill, of the court of ordinary, has received the necessary blanks from the depart ment, and is now ready to distribute them among the old vets, for whom they, were intended. There are scores of old soldiers in Thomas county who are entitled to and need this small sti pend, and they will lose little time in filing their claims for the same. Our military friends will be inter ested in the following sent from Grif fin to the News: “The soldiers will find the encamp* ment grounds in much better shape when they come this year. The mess halls and kitchens that were down in the flat have been torn away and will be moved np on an elevated place. All of the buildings are being covered with shingles and put in thorough repair.. The bath bouses are nicely arranged and things will be in ship shape by the opening of the encampment, lie superintendent’s cottage has b^en* completed and situ ated right on the‘brow;of the hill ap proaching Camp Northen makes a cozy and 'attractive appearance, A street car line will^in all probability, be ran to the grounds this year, thus adding greatly to the convenience of the soldiers and visitors. A grand Looks Like Business. In another column will be found the advertisement of the Thomasville Exchange and Banking Company asking for bids. They want scaled bids for building one cigar factory of brick, three stories high, 150x40 feet, one electric light and power house, al so of brick, 60x40 feet, and one hundred small three room frame houses. Bids will be received on next Monday, the 20th inst. Flans and specifications can be seen at the office of-Mr.. C. H. Thrupp, architect, Mitchell House block. This looks like business in earnest. Contractors and mechanics will find all the work they want in Thomasville from now An Injunction. The fish traps in the Little Och lockonee are causing trouble. A de mand signed by eighty-three citizens of that section was presented to aher* iff Does for the removal of obstruct ions in the river. The owners, bow ever, objected, and have filed a bill of injunction. Judge Habsell has set the date for a hearing of the injunc tion on the 22nd inst. and it will then be decided whether the fish traps most go or stay. Considerable inter- esffias been created in the matter and Sold. The Radcliff place, on Gordon Avenue, has been sold. Mrs. C. VanBuskirk, of New Jersey, is the purchaser. Many improvements will be made on the residence. Mrs. VanBuskirk will arrive shortly, ac companied by her husband. The latter will engage in business here. Among the most charming young ladies visiting Thomasville, and there are many of them, we notice the presence of Miss Maud Carter, of Alabama, in the city.She is the guest of her friend, Miss Moselle H^ycs, at the residence of Mr. S. L. Hayes* -on Broad street. Miss Carter will be in the city for some weeks. She wilh meet with a cordial reception in the metropolis of South Georgia. Hawkins, attorneys for Marcellus C. White, who was couvicted Wednesday for larceny from a church, have appea'ed the case. It was- a glass pitcher, worth forty five cents, and not the com munion service, stolen. White has not given bond, but will remain in jail until Superior court. One ol the most encouraging tigns of good times ahead is the awakening activity in real estate circles. Sales are now being made daily, and in every instance the purchasers intend improving. There is also a steady demand now for houses by renters. Sealed bids will be receired by the Thom asville Exchange & Banking Company on Monday, the^20th inst., ior^the'eiection of three store brick cigar fuctory 150x40 , one electric light and power house, brick, G0x40. one hundre d small 4 three room frame houses.

As will be seen by advertisement Mr. Richy, owner ol Revoke, the handsome thoroughbred stallion, has reduced the price for service from $25 to 615. Revoke is one of the fiaest horses iu the South. Mr. Govantes expects to start a large force of workmen to work in his cigar factory over Mr. Ciitteu’s h> about two weeks. Mr. Gribben, the contractor, is making the necessary changes on the interior. Mr. John Hay, of New Jersey, has rented the strawberry farm near Sanfor^’a gieeu house from Mr. T. E. Blackshear. -Mr. Hay and family will arrive shortly aud take up their residence out there. Mia* Lula Nash, one of the most charming young ladies of Florida’s capital city, Tallahassee, is the guest of the Misses Woodson, ia Fieuher- ville. The del Pino cigar factory is turn ing out cig '.rs with a ru>b. About sixty workmen r.re now at work and the old city hall presents a lively scene. Mr. Lee Reynolds and party, of Giles, county. Icon., are spending s >me days in the city. They have been wiuteriug at St. Petersburg and Tain pa, Fla. The need of better depot facilities to accommodate the heavy travel be comes greater every day. The pos er shed was so badly crowded yesterday that it was with difficulty that the baggage''could be bandied. The present quarters are totally inad equate. Thomasville should' have a passenger station commensurate with her needs. Council Proceedings. Cjcxcil Room, Maxell, 6, 1S03, Council met in called session, Muyoi Hopkins presiding.
