Arthur Perry Wright, who died . at his itodenca. on Thurs day, was bom ia Jones eoonty, Geor gia, on the 27th day of January, 1831. He was the only ohild oi his parents, Matthew and Ann. Wright. While a small boy Us parents moved to their plantation about five miles south of Lumpkin, Stewart county. Subsequently the famUy moved to tho-town of Lumpkin, where the deceased grew to manhood, taking a thorough preparatory course in the meanwhile for entering the state nnivenity. He wu so'well pre pared for college, that had it not been ■gainst the roles, he could havo en tered the senior class. Instead, how- ever, of entering the university, the young man went to Coiambus, Geor gia, in 1851, where he read law with the law firm -of Jones & Benning, one of the strongest firms in the state. So closely did the young' law stndent apply himself, that be wan admitted to the bar in the fall of 1852. He was ambitiousto he ad mitted to the bar-in his native town, Lumpkin, coin the latter part of October, 1852, ha stood a most bril liant examination in open conrt in his native town. In the early part of 1853, he went to Ocala, Fla., where, by his energy and marked abilities, he rapidjy rose in his chosen profes sion. His health failing, he returned to Georgia, and on the 18th day of January, 1854, he located in Thom- asville. Then he began a career with which the progress and growth of Thomasviile has been closely interwo- ven, for no citizen of Thomasviile, living or dead, has done more toward furtheiing the material prosperity of the town oi Thomaaville and the county oi Thomas, than Col. At- thnr P. Wright Here be developed into one oi the leading lawyers ot the state. Bold, foil of resources, a good speaker, thoroughly equipped in all branches of the law, he took ■ high stand in his profession. For a lew years he was associated with the late Col. James L. Seward, in the prac tice oi law. In September, 1871, hav ing accumulated a handsome sum at the law, he founded the banking house of Wright and Stegall This was Thomisville’t first bank. In Sep tember, 1873, the old firm dissolved, and the banking house of A- P. Wright & Co., ot which firm Mr. T. C. Mitchell was the pirtner, was es tablished. Mr. Mitchell had been a spec ial partner in the firm of Wright and Stegall. High as he had stood at the bar, it was in the broad and intricate field of finance, that tho deceased was at his best. He possessed a nat ural aptitude lor banking. This firm did the banking business of a large portion of South Georgia for many years. On the 1st of January, 1888, the old firm dissolved and the Bank of Thomasviile was established, mov ing from Jackson street to the present handsome banking house on Broad street. Col. Wright was elected president of this bank, nod served in that capacity up to a few days before his death. Quick, always alert, pru dent and cautious, he built np one oi the strongest banking establishments in the state. Since I860 he hu been closely identified with the government of the town. He served during the year mentioned, as mayor. The town was then occupied by Fed eral troops. His firmness and rare good judgment averted much trou ble. Since that period he has served eighteen years, successively, as alder man. During the entire time he was at tho head of the finance depart' ment. He took the same interest in the management of the finances of the town that he gave to his own private business. No town or city has ever had a more faithlui servant. He was appointed a county commissioner on the 1st of May, 1877, and wss made chairman ol the board. Since then, for sixteen yean, he has guarded well and carefully every interest of the county. Serving in then responsible positions without pay, he freely gave his time and talents to county and town. Now that he is gone, all will ny: “Well done, thou good and faith ful servant-” He wu Isrgfly instru mental in the establishment of the South Georgia College, having sub scribed $500, the first subscription to that institution. He wss made pres ident of the board of trustees, and gave much of his time to farthering the interests of the college. Few, perhaps, know how earnestly and how persistently he worked to put the Booth Georgia College on 1 pent basis. He was, for a number of years, e member of the state agricul tural society, and always took a live ly interest in everything pertaining to the agricultural development of South Georgia.

The Sooth Georgia Col lege Cadets, in full uniform, acted as an escort to the dead president of the institution. The church wu reached at 3:15 o’clock. The city council, headed by Mayor Hopkins, followed by the police force and other employes of the city, were tho first to enter. The Bector, Rev. C. I. LaRocho, in his priestly robes, preceded the body uit wu borne down the central aisle, reading the solemn service for the dead- Then came the mourning family, closely followed by the corps oi cadets, the Utter taking position on the left side of the church u they en tered. In the meantime a dirge, soit, low and sad, swelled oat from the or gan. The choir rendered some ap propriate music, and then the rector read the burial urvice of his church. The church wu packed, while many found only standing room in the rear. Slowly the body wu borne from the church, where the deceased had so of ten worshipped. A long line oi car riages, containing reUtivu and mourn ing friends, wended its way through the falling mist to Laurel Hill ceme tery. Here the lut sad rites were performed, and the hundreds of citi zens returned to their homes. Thomuvills and Thomas county mourns the death of a distinguished and useful citizen. He will be missed by the state, by South Georgia, by his county and town, but. most oi all, will ho be missed in the home circle. There he wu known best, and loved best. Peace be to his memory.

Bnt both -of these pro fessions, and Harris claims to bo proficient in each, are only a disguise used by him to get into the good graces of unsuspecting people, tiros enabling him to fleeco them. The crime for which ho was sent up was called in tho warrant cheating and swindling. He was called upon in a professional capacity to see a man’s wife in the country. While treating her be had his eyes open and soon learned that the man had a quantity of farm supplies on hand which he tried to pnrehase, but the man stated that a gentleman in town held these supplies for debt and he would have to get an order from him before he could get them. He came to town oetoniably to see the man, hut really as a blind. To cat a long story short, he returned with two wagons and by misrepresentations got them filled with supplies. The farmer came to town and succeeded in stopping the goods. Harris worked several smart Bchemea to keep the staff in his pos session, but the officers got on to him and he was locked up. These and other facts were brought oat at the trial, ail of which showed the prisoner to be a man of extraordinary shrewd ness, He is now engaged in trying to raise the money to pay his fine, one hundred dollars and costs. It is not likely that he will be attended with any greater success in this than he was with the supplies, and ia all prob ability he will lend his services to keeping the streets clean. Georgia Chautauqua. The fifth annual session of the Georgia Chautauqua is now in ses sion at Albany, Ga. The special schools opened Match 15, and the Assembly is April 2nd.

Ordinary Merrill has received checks for the following persons, who made application for pensions. These parties do not reside in Thomas coun ty, and the ordinary does not know why the checks were sent him. It was probably the result of an error, but at any rate Mr. Merrill would be glad if the ordinaries oi the adjoining connties would read the names and see if they belong to them. The following are tho names: Samuel Gregory, J. J. Griner, J. H. Bailey, Bozier 'Wingate, John W. Sharp, Jas. L, Stuart, Daniel Palmer; Geo. W. Ott, J. T. Owen, Geo. H. Lowe, John Johnson, J. R.
