Thoughts For the Youth of the
United States pf America.
“I find also, much comfort io re
membering that iny countrymen are
just and generous, and in the assur
ance that they will -not condemn
those who, by sincere devotion to
their service, deserve their .forbear
ance and approval. Above all 1
know there is a Supreme Being who
rules the afiairs oi men and- whose
goodness and mercy have always fol
lowed the American people; aud I
know he will not turn from us now if
we humbly and reverently seek his
powerful aid.”
The-e closing words of the Presi
dent’s inaugural bear such child like
faith in both God and man—the Fa
ther and the hrother—that they
should be impressed on the minds of
the children of the land. There is a
favorite aphorism that we often hear,
There’s nothing like success to bring
success,"and the sad antithesis is also
familiar to many, “give a dog a bad
name and every one is ready to give
him a kick.”As we turn back the pages,
we see that Grover Cleveland receiv
ed some terrible kicks, but not being
the bad dog, they beat but did not
hurt. In the words of the “best
Iriend” to him (for there is a p'athos
and sentiment linked with the two
inaugurals that have placed hint on
the highest pinnacle of American earth
ly ambition) ‘ They sha’l bear thee up
in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot
against a stone.” Tho Bible and a
mother’s influence associated with it
make a talisman Btrong enough to
stand ofi all evil. And with the as
surance of the Divine favor granted
to human faith and humility, there is
no such word as fail to the American
patriot. Our |>opular president has
faith in himself to carry out the
strength and Heavenly wisdom that
be seeks to aid him in his mighty
trust as pilot of a staunch ship on a
free and open sea to those who see
the one great Pharos that points
out the wrecking shoals aud reefs.
Herein lies the ‘ success that has
brought the success’ that makes the
Voice of the People a perfect harmo
ny as they push out from shore tor
another short outing, tr enjoy the
calm and piepare for the storm,
with the sturdy and brawny muscle
and the dauntless heart of Grover
Cleveland to control the Ship «*f

both the synibul of victory. One to
Life Everlasting, the other the lad
der of victory, or the abyss of dis
grace, as lame or fate may de
cree.
The key note of the truly success
ful life is like the fugue of the music.
It is never lest sight of. Through
ha whole piace it coti33 back. The
love of God and the duty to God aud
man, and the love of brother and the
love of country are alwaxs rippling
up, even in the strong parts of lift’s
great piece which tho g w.d man is
composing for the orchestra of eter
nity.
This is all, and what a simple, nour
ishing diet it is. It is rauric to the
soul, music to the heart and music to
the hands and feet. They who hear
its strains renew their strength. They
mount up with wings as eagles, they
run and are not weary, they walk and
are not taint. The love and duty les
son begun in infancy makes men tru
ly brave and fearless, and with the
caution that is the balance wheel of
strong character, there is no danger of
grounding on sand, or rushing into
whirlpools and thus wrecking the no
ble vessels that have been given
by the loving Father to guid i safely
through the earnest and troubled wa
ters of lite.
Christian faith and brotherly love
round the angles of their nature, and
when the vrinds of sophistry and flat
tery, or the gale of malice and hatred
blow upon them, there is the one
Voice that is heard above all, “Peace
be still” and the sunshine of oarage
and fearlessness have turned the winds
into a quartette of laughing, rippling
breezes, and when they go back to*
the “cave of winds,” they hang their
heads in shame when the presence of
Siren brings their guilt to memory,
and they, too, have learned the lesson
of Heavenly wisdom, that cannot be
bought by man’s gold and silver.
Yes, my young friends, both boys
and girls, you will learn a good lesson
if you take the inaugural of President
Grover Cleveland, of 1893, and study
its simple words and earnest truths.
The writing between the lines you
may not see just yet, indeed, some
may never have sight to see it. Only
those with a purpose, a noble aim in
life, can read its secret. To others,
the sound of the money bag is the
sweetest music. But to those who
would be more than “mound build-
era” or “Jacastrians,” they know that
success is not always seen at the pinna
cle ot fame. The strong ladder of
life is so mysterious that visual eye
lay down the Golden Buie for all. to
U8e it well. The feet of the ladder
are deeply planted, and the rounds
are firm to carry the bowed head and
the heavy rod, and near the top
the angels sing ExceLior! Excelsior!
an* then the golden door of the Beu
lah Laud is open wide, and in. the air,
the restful air, is the welcome from
the Angelic Band.
Youth’s Friend.
At the Carson.
A delightful ‘ progressive hearts”
party at the “Carson,” Mr. R. W.
Glading’s charming house, on Thurs
day evening, was a source of much
pleasure to those who attended. The
party was given by Mbs Mayme Han
cock and Miss Katharine Schofield,
two of Milwaukee's most accomplished
young ladies, who are spending the
winter in Thomasville. Quite a large
number were present and they were
handsomely entertained by the fair
hostesses of the evening. Those pres
ent were: Mr. and Mrs. Combe, Long
Island City, N. Y ; Mr. and Mrs. B.
D Fudge, City; Mrr. Seyle, Roches
ter; Mrs. Bosworth, Milwaukee; Miss
Fennell, Milwaukee; Miss Bope, Chi
cago; Miss Shallcross, Louisville; Mbs
Nellie Jennings, City; Mrs. R. W.
Glading, City; Miss Schofield and
Miss Hancock, Milwaukee; Messrs.
Flack, New York; Geo. Crush, Louia-
Hvil’t; J. E B. Love, E. M. Mallette,'
VV. L Ball, B. F. Townsend, A- W.
Stuart, Fred Jennings, Mannie
Dreyer, City.
The first ladies prize, a silver hat
piu, was won by Mi s Fennell, and
Mr. Flack won the gentleman’s first
prize, a beautiful neck-tie- Choice
refreshments were served during the
eveniog, and after the game had
c-juie to a close, dancing was indulged
i» until quite a late hour. The mu-
*ic was furnished by a string band.
Misees Hancock and Schofield are
charming entertainers and made the
evening a most pleasant cne for tbeir
gursts.
Saint Patrick’s Day.
Green ribbons and sprigs of sham*
rock decorated many coat lapels in
honor of S», Patrick, the apostle
of Ireland, yesterday. The many
miracles, legends, traditions, super
stitions and quaint customs associated
with the name of Sr. Patrick would
fill volumes. It is thought in the
world ot folk-lore that if the wind
blows hard upon St. Patrick’s eve it
betokens death among them that are
learned and much fish shall die in the
following summer, a point »he United
S.aies fish commissioners wou’d do
well to make a note of.
An egg laid on St. Patrick’s day it
is said will bring luck to the possessor
if kept,.
The exact birthday ot St. Patrick is
a matter ot conjecture. A witty Irish
clergyman figures it out that it was at
midnight when St. Patrick was born,
so some wanted to celebrate on the
Sih and others on the 9th. Each
kept a birthday which gave Patrick
two. A compromise was effected by
adding the eight and nine together
and all now keep the 17th. This is
how ihe 17th of Majch is said to have
become the birthday ot Ireland’s pa
iron saint.—Daily T. E., March 18th.
A Good Showing.
“Every person doing business io
Thomasville whose business requires
the taking out of a specific license has
paid up in full,” said Mayor Hopkins
in conversation with the reporter in
the Mitchell house office the other
night, “and it is the first time in the
history ot the town that all have paid
up so promptly.** The mayor went on
siy that usually the town has to born
row money at interest about this time
of the year, but this year, thanks to
our city fathers, who instructed the
cletk not to issue licenses until the
money was paid in, there is not only
no necessity lor borrowing money,
but some Df the indebtedness has been
liquidated. If we remember aright
there are over six thousand dollars
derived from these specific licenses,
which goes a long ways toward paying
the expenses of the city government.
We must congratulate Mayor Hops
kins and the board of aldermen on
their able management ot the city’s
affairs.
Two More Big Factories to Open
Up Here Next Week.
Thomasville is destined to soon be
come one of the largest cigar manu
facturing towns in the state. Four
large factories have been located, one
of which is already at work and turn
ing oat goods with a rush, and others
are negotiating with the Thomasville
Exchange and Banking Company for
a location. The A. del Pino Compa
ny are using the old city hall ns tern 1 '
porary quarters, and Mr. Govantes, a
iarge and wealthy manufacturer of
Cuba, has rented and is having the
second and third stories of the Finn
building, ou Madison street fixed up
for occupancy. This he will use as
temporary quarters until his factory
can be built at La Cubana.
On yesterday the Thomasville Ex
change and Banking Company rented
one tho Bruce stores on lower Broad
street, and the upstairs over both the
Bruce stores, with the exception of a
small room used as an office by Dr.
Bruce, and the small brick store on
Fletcher street, just in rear of the
Bruce stores. These quarters will be
occupied by Aizpuruua & Co , of Ha
vana, Cuba, manufacturers of the
world-famous brand ot cigars, “Ar-
mandina.” For the present this com
pany will work only about thirty
hands, though as soon as more com
modious quarters can be obtained the
force wifi be largely increas: <1.
The company also rented } esterdoy
the place known a3 Cook & Dekle’s
hall, which is almost adjoining the
Brucs buildings. This place will be
occupied by Bernardo Fernandez,
manufacturer of the “Leon of Castil
la” brand ol goods, also of Havana.
Ho will also be compelled to limit his
force to thirty hands for the present.
Both of these new companies will
arrive here next week and will com
mence work at once. Mr. McIntyre,
Mr. Bishop and other members of the
Thomasville Exchange and Banking
Company arc making things hustle,
and it is a pleasure to know that
they are meeting with such flattering
success.
Fashion’s and Fancies.
Mr. Editor:
What a carnival oi brightness and
beauty greeted our eyes at the open
ing of tashiouab e millinery at Miss
Laura Joues- A glance through her
well selected stock shows exquisite
taste and the most fastidious cau be
pleased. V isitors can eo longer re
gret their absence from their favorite
modiste, but cau here find their Eas
ter hats and bonnets i 1 the most be
witching styles and shapes and bewil
dering colors. Straws re gn supreme
in colors beautifully blended, that
harmonize s> well with the sheen of
the irridescent silks that are now os
much in vogue. We noticed a
lovely black straw and lace combined
with hero and there a bunch of lilacs
as it were a breath of spring.
A beautiful straw of the famous
peach bloom color trimmed wiih laces
and ribbons of the cow placque shape,
was especially attractive. A large
white straw with ribbons, laces and
feathers would be so becoming to a
youog girl. The store was most
beautifully decorated with flowers and
we heard many exclamation of pleas-
and delight. Surely my, “hearts
desire,” a new bonnet, can IhiJ well
gratified and give delight.

Steadily Growing.
It is with sincere pleasure that The
World sees the inauguration of the
tobacco man u facta ring enterprises in
Thomasville.
The future of the city seems to be
now assured aud its prospects grow
brighter every day. When each men
as the Mitchell's and McIntyre’s take
hold it is certain that good results
will follow, and the big company just
organized by those gentlemeu will do
wonders for Thomasville. It is n«
boom but the solid march of progress
that has been inaugurated.
This season more tourists have
registered at the hotels than ever
before and many sales of real estate
show that her winter population is
going to grow still larger..
Every citizen ot the county should
rejoice at the growth and prospects of
Thomasville, for it means that the
county will prosper as well as Thom-
asville.—Boston World.

A Vision of Loveliness.
Miss Lanra Jones’ store on Broad
street, Friday and yesterday, was a
veritable vision of lovliness These
annual spring openings of millinery
always attract a large crowd of ladies,
and this year was by no means an ex*
ception to the general rale. Miss
Jones has excelled herself this season
in the selection of goods, and throngh<
oaf the whole store can be seen evi
dences of her superior taste. Dis
played with rare taste and skill are all
the latest shapes and shades of milli
nery, embracing the latest and most
fashijnah’ 1 goods included by the
name. T :e display of flowers was es
pecially attractive, and was a delight
to the feminine eye. Those who
failed to see the display—and judging
,rom the crowded" condition of the
store we think there ate. very few who
tifai daughters of Wisdom and Equity did—missed a treat.
Accidentally Shot.
Mitch Mitchell, a colored driver at
Mallard’s stabics, was accidentally shot
Saturday miming. Mitchell drove
Maj. Stanbury, a northern visitor, out
for a day’s shooting, and while pull
ing the gun in the wagon preparato^
ry to visiting another field, the horses
gave a jump aud the weapon was dis
charged, tho whole lo id taking effect
Mitchell’s wrist, breaking the bone
and ranking a very painlul wound.
Maj. Stanbury drove to town as speed
ily as possible and the wounded roan
was turned over to Dr. T. M. McIn
tosh for treatment.
Not Guilty.
Sam Rigsby, n white man, was
given" a preliminary hearing before
Judge Bibb yesterday morning ou a
warrant charging him with burglarly.
He was accused of breaking into the
store of Wertz & Son, on Jackson
street, and taking therefrom several
watches, pistols, etc. The evidence
against him was purely circumstan
tial and not sufficiently strong to
warrant the court in binding him
over, and lie was discharged.
The “RYrng Aid Society,” an ac
count of whose troubles appeared in
these columns a few days ago, were
in force yesterday at Judge
Bibb’s c *urt. The Society is bidly
split up, aud both factions want to
run the machine. Several warrants
had been sworn out against the presi
dent, charging him with cheating and
indling, etc., but the entire matter
was compromised and all went home
in a good humor.
Mr. Lovd Dickey, of Duncauville,
brought in a stuffed beaver felt yes
terday which was viewed with con
siderable curiosity. It was the first
that many had seen. The beaver was
caught in a steel near Duncanville
several days ago. One was also offered
for sale in Cairo recently. Beavers
ery rare in this section.
Wc Haven’t Seen Her.
A well known commercial mao, who
is frequently in Thomasville, write
as follows:
“A few days ago while in McIntosh
county my attention was called to the
notice of a lost mare, the property of
the Rev. John Perry, (co ) pas'or of
the Sapclo Bridge Baptist church
(south,) who described his lost prop
erty as bring: “One llaclcmare which
was ace necked, sheep kneed, hog
hacked, goose rumpled, cat hammed and
natural pacer” Should any reader
of your paper come across such an
animal answering to the above des
cription, please notify the parson.”
Will Be Open Until May,
Ab will be Been by the advertise
ment of Capt. Pratt, manager of the
Hotel Masury, that house will be kept
open until May first at least, and
probably longer if business will justi
fy it. Those wishing to stay in Thom
asville as late as May, and we have
no doubt there are many, will proba-
ably find it to their advantage to see
manager Pratt.

A Burglar Escapes After Being
Shot.
Last Sunday evening abaut half
past seven o’clock Mr. Frank Pitt
man, son of Mr. J. T. Pittman, who
lives on Crawford street, went into the
dining room, which place is located in
the rear of the house, for his hat,
which ho had lett there. While in
tlrore he heard some one tip-toeing
across tho floor. He hastily went
back into his room and secured his
revolver, and then went to tho front
part of the house and informed his
father. I’liey both went, by differ
ent routes, to the yard in rear of the
house. Before Frank was aware of it
he ran right up agaiQ3t his man in
the dark. Tho man started to run
Frank commanded him to halt, and
upon his not doiug so fired his revol
ver at him. The man continued to
ran and just as he wa3 scaling a
fence Frank fired a second time, but
the fellow never stopped running.
An investigation yesterday morning
developed the fact that the burglar
was hit at least by one of the shots. He
was trailed from the yard through the
block and around to Porter’s stables
by blood stains. A considerable pool
of blood by the side of a seat in front
of tho stables shows where he stopped
to rest. Of course Mr. Pittman has
his suspicions, but there is no evidence
as t,o who tli3 fellow is. It was t:o
dark for him to bo recognized at the
time of the shooting.
Concert at the Piney Woods.
That was a select, as well as criti

Mr. O c ir Guide, the director
the orchestra, and the gentlemen

eelvts on this occasion. Every mem
ber is an artist. The orclirstra had
the assistance of Mr. Limburger, oa
the violin, and Mi-s Elizabeth Win
ter, o! Montgomery, Ala. Mr. L’m*
bnrgre played most exquisitely the
Angel’s Serenade aud Love’s Dream
by Brago. The gentleman is a fin
ished performer, aud lie was given a
hearty round of applause at the cons
elusion of the pieces.
Miss Winter, though a total strain j
ger to almost every one present, cap
tured the audience before a d- z:n
liquid notes had fallen from her lips.
She sang, Sing, Smi’o, Slumber, by
Gounod, as but few amateurs could.
In response to the hearty encore
which followed, she sang a Swiss echo
song by Eckert. Again the contin
ued applause forced the fair singer to
respond, ringing a single verse
i pian» accompaniment. The
young lady has a voice cf rare com
pass and sweetness, and it has, evi
dently, been thoroughly cultivated
It is full, sympathetic, and is e’ear as
bell. Now swelling iato a volume
of melody, and again sinking to soft-
notes, sounding like silvery
chimes in the distance, the singer
held the audience spell bound
front begiuniog to finish. It was
triumph of which auy wo-
n might be proud. The young
lady was overwhelmed with congrat
ulations at the close of the con
cert.
