The Weekly Times-Enterprise. Mr. George.M. Tilton Dead. Mr. George M. Tilton, manager of the Mitchell House in this city, died at 12:15 o’clock yesterday teg. «'/- ‘ . . A Good Schobl. ; Me. Eduok—Kindly give • me space in your valued columns to draw the attention of the ft tends of education and industry, to an excel lent school in Thoinasville. - Through the aid of winter visitors,! the Clay street Normal and Industrial school has made rapid strides underlie very capable principal, Chas. Bice, and bis osssistant teachers. I wish it was a free school. Under the pressure of poverty that is impossible. The chil dren of the negro nice have the ad vantage of learning not only the high er branches that will admit them into their colleges, in the Clay street school, but the Industrial department is thoroughly appreciated by the Principal as a very important part of the education of his people. The girls can exhibit work in dressmaking and plain sewiog that attest to their carelul instruction, and the boys OF GEORGIA. The undersigned Committee, [appi the purpose of readjusting tho>ff& CENTRAL RAILROAD AND BANK] PANT OP GEORGIA, and of Its aWc We write it in sorrow and sadneiB: Tommie White is dead. He. died at his. home in; East End yesterday morning, after a very brief i»lness. Thomas Marion White was the son of the late T. M.. White and Mrs. Rosa J. White, and a nephew of Mrs. Albert Winter, of Florida, He was bom in Marianna, in that '8taf$, on the 22ncl of February, 1872. Left an orphan in his childhood, he has since lived with his grandmother, Mrs. 0. H. Nicholson. She has been more than-a mother to him, and his death has prostrated the patient, lov ing woman who guided the footsteps of the dead boy in infancy, and watched over him all his life. He moved to Thomasville some seven years ago, and has since lived here. For years he was a reporter on the Daily Enterprise, and since the consolidation he has been a faithful, painstaking member of the Times- Enterprise staff. For a long time, and up to the day of his death, he was the special correspondent of the At lanta Constitution from Thomasville. In this field, like every other position he filled, Mr. White discharged his duties with rare fidelity. Kind* and gentle as a woman, he was always ready to do his duty, nay more than his daty. Alert and watchful, few local events of any im portance escaped him. He worked and wrote to please and praise, not to wound or hurt, ne always had a kind word for all, aud iu retorn was always the recipient of kindness and consideration from others. N«»o»e could know him without esteeming him. A manlier or nobler spirit never lived. He was the very em bodiment of honor. His was the golden rule: Do unto others as you would have others do uum you. On this high plane he lived. The world has been brighter and better by his living in it. Always looking at the bright tide of things, he carried sunshine where- ever he went, and was popular with everybody, old and young. Frail in body, he was brave in spirit, ai d worked manfully to fulfill bis ini-eion on earth. That has been accom plished, and the busy brain will work and plau no more. In the provi dence of God he has been told: “It is enough, come up higher.” While friends morn- „ v i i Mr. Tilton had been in ill health for several months. Early last fall, just after he had opened the hotel for tbeBeaaon, hewas stricken down by i a slight stroke of paralysis. This compelled him to keep his ropm for : some weeks, but be gradually grew better j and for the past month he has been able to partially look after Hie-business. His family and friends hoped that he-would continue to inr* prove and would soon bo strong again. His coudition encouraged them in this hope until Tuesday morning, ‘ when, all at once, while sitting in his private office, ho was visited by a secs ond stroke of paralysis, far more se rious than the first. Notwithstand- La Cubana City will soon be a busy*.scene*- The vrorkof building -the factory and tenement honees will commence at once and be pushed aa rapidly as possible. The Exchange and Banking Com pany met yesterday and opened the bids, which had been aent in in re sponse to the advertisement published in the Teues-Enterprise of recent date. There were numerous bide, but Mr. James Gribben, the well known contractor, had in the best one on the factory, and was awarded the contract. The factory will be of brick, three stories high and 150 feet long by 50 feet wide. Work on this will commence within the next week and be finished as soon as money and muscle can do it. Mr. Gribben is one of the best contractors in the oountry, and it goes without saying that he will do his work in a first class mabner. The contract for building the power house and one hundred three room frame tenement houses was awarded Mr. J. C. Coulter, a well known build er of this city. The power house will be of brick, 40x60 teet. The brick is already being hauled to the site and no tjme will be lost in the con struction of the building*. Mr. Coul ter has built many houses in Thom asville and he is known to be a strict ly re'iable and competent workman. Within two weeks Cubana will pre* seut an entirely different appearance from what it does now. The men at the head of the enterprise are hustlers and mean business. They are amply able to carry out everything they undertake. Negroes 4 Buying Real Estate. E M. Malle tie, the ubiquitous real real estate dealer, says the colored people are showing a greater disposi tion than ever to secure homes. He has made, recently, a dozen sales to thi< c’ass. He has also recently made numerous deeds to negroes who have just finished paying up. Mr. MaUette believes that the ac quisition cf landed property by our colored people greatly improves them os citizens. He says it is his person al interest as well as the public good that lie should deal liberally with them, and he consequently accommo dates his-prices and terms to the abils iiy of the purchaser. Nearly all sales are made on the installment plan, and it is the exception where the pur chaser fails to ultimately pay up and get his deed. The ThomasytUe Route. The Alabama Midland Railway, so popularly known as the “Thomasvile Route,” is the only through car line flora Thomasville to the West and Northwest. Fast train leaving Thom asville at 1:12 p.m., carries Pullman Buffet sleeping car through to Cin- cinati, arriving there 4:20 p. m. next day.
