Thomasville is already the. largest

With good weather Mr. C. H.
Williams will soon have a kilo of

sch ool is rapidly extending.
We undersiand that two or three

school j-ystem for Thomasviiie. It
would be of great benefit to the town.
In Moultrie.
Two days spent at Moultrie this
week was a revelation. "What a
transfer .nation! From a sleepy little
village it bas bloomed Into a bustling
busy town. New buildings, many of
them handsome structures, are
going up, and in every direction is
seen evidences of thrift and prosperity.
The ' stillness of jhe surrounding
forests bas been broken by the shrill
shriek of the locomotive, ahd behold
the change! Streets are being laid out
and graded, long rows of shade trees
are being planted, while the court
house square, surrounded with busi
ness houses, is lighted up with street
lamps. .Theglad notes of progress
aud prosperity are heard, tbe music
of saw and hammer falls on the ear,
while tbe painter’s brush is plied on
many new houses. The erstwhile vil
lage with its few quaint and rude
structures fas disappeared and a
modern town lias appeared instead.
Tbe town is laid out one' mile square
and buildings are dotting almost the
entire area. A handsome hotel will
soon be completed, a convenient dis
tance from tbe now depot The latter
building is a large and handsome
structure. A great amount of naval
stores is being shipped over the new
road. Mr. Charley Pidccck is doirg
everything in his power to accommo
date trade and travel over bis road.
He has worked wonders for Colquitt
county.
The county has caught tbe spirit of
improvement and new farm bouses
are going up. Old Colquitt is corns
iug surely. The primeval pine forests
are yielding their riches*, riches which
have been 1* eked up for ages.
In the town Professor Wilson is
conducting a splendid school at the
academy. Miss Ellen McNeil, a cuh
tured young lady, is his assistant.

There was a tragedy io the upper
portion of the county Monday after
noon that came very near resulting
fatally for one of the participants.
Bed Faircloth, a white man, who
lives on Mr. W..A. Dayis* place in
the McDonald neighborhood, was in
town Monday and as is hiscuBtom,
loaded up with mean whiskey before
leaving for home. He is very ugly
when under the influence ’ of liquor,
and the first thing he did upon arriv
ing home was to kick his little child
out of the house, after which he
brutally attacked his wife. The lat*
ter escaped from him and fled to the
field. He followed and overtook her,
knocking her down and stamping her
with bis feet. John Glover, the seven
teen year old brother of Mrs. Fair
clotb, heard his sister’s screams and
went to her rescue. Faircloth seized
a piece of timber laying near and
knocked the youbg man down. The
latter jumped up and went to the
house, returning in a minute with his
gun. As soon as Faircloth saw
Glover coming with the gun, he
ceased beating his wife, and pulling
his knife advanced towards Glover,
cursing and saying he would cut his
throat. Glover told him to stop.
Faircloth contiuucd to advance, when
the hoy fired, the entire load taking
effect in Faircloth’a legs. This did
not stop him. he continued to advance
on the boy with his knife, when the
latter struck him over the head with
the gun, knocking him down, where
he laid until picked up and carried to
tbe house. A physician was called
in, and after examination pronoucccd
the wounds serious but not latal. No
arrests have been made, and it is not
likely that any will be, as
entire community sympathizes with
the boy. The above facts were
learned from Mr. VV. A. Davis, who

At the B.aptist church, in Waverly,
Ala., Tuesday evening, April 4th, at
7:30 o’clock, Mr, D. Lee Switzer, of
Thomasville, Ga., to Miss Lois M.

officiating,
Tbe attendants were: Miss Mary
Thomas, with Mr. Ernest Shealy; Miss
Alice Shealy, with Mr. Anhui Greene;
Miss Fannie Webb, with Mr, Will
Thomas; Miss May Harwell, with Mr.
Reese Holston; Mrs. Carrie F. Smith,
with'Dr. H. S. Bruce, Jr. Messrs.
Otis Greene and Claude Holston
acted as ushers.
Tbe fcandsoms couple' were the
cynosure of many admiring eyes as
they entered the church, keeping time
to a wedding march rendered by Miss
Holston with Requisite t*ste.
Misses Shealy and Thomas wore
empire gowns of white China silk,
Miss Fannie Webb, cream henrietta;
Miss May Harwell, white crepe de
chime; Miss Maude Holston, cream
challis; Mrs. Carrie Smith, jfhite
China silk.
After the ceremony was concluded,
the newly wedded conple, in company
with a few inyited guests, repaired to
the residence of the bride’s father, Dr.
H. S. Bruce, where an elegant supper
was served.
The bride is one of Alabama’s
fairest daughters. Refined, cultivated
in mind, and a general favorite, she is
beloved by all who know her. Her
father and brother are the leading
physicians of Waverly, and what Wav
erly has lost, Thomasville has gained.
Everybody knows Lee Switzer. He
is one ct the model young men of the
place ar.d a general favorite with the
public. His many friends wish him
and his fair bride a long life of happi
ness and prosperity,

Faircloth. He says Mrs. Faircloth
bears marks of the moat brutal treat

to be a very hard working man, b.ut
when drunk—and he is in this condi
tion the greater part of the time—is a
veritable demon and gnsdy mistreats
his defenseless wife and children.
Glover, tho boy that did the shooting,
is a hard working, industrious youDg
man, and well thought of by all who
know him. Mrs. Faircloth is said to
be a good woman and a dutiful wife,
aud entirely undeserving of such in-
hutnau treatment.
Mr. John L. Wood Dead.
Mr. John L. Wood, the well known
and wealthy capitalist of Cleveland,
Ohio, died at Augusta, Ga., at the
Bonair Hotel, ou the 27th of March
Mr. Wood was well known iu Thom
asville, having spent the last three or
four seasons at the Pincy Woods
Hotel Mrs. Wood, his wife, died
here la^t year. Mr. Wood was on his
way to Thomasville, accompanied by
his physician, Dr. Weber, when he
died. He could not get rooms at tho
Piney Woods aud so stopped on the
Sand Hills at Augusta until he could
be accommodated here. While wait
ing there he died. He was one of the
wealthiest men iu Ohio, and was a
great philanthropist, his gifts to edu
cational institutions amounting
over a half million dollars.
The game of ball on the cahtpus
Monday afternoon between the Col
lege boys and a team of town boys
was a most interesting one. Only
eight iDnings were played, at the end
of which the score stood eleven to
nine in favor of the town boys.
Another game between the same nines
will probably be played to morrow
afternoon.
Capt. D. W, Pratt, of tho Masury
Hotel, is down at Suwannee Springs,
Fla. We learn that he has been em
ployed to manage that place the ap
proaching summer and has, in fact,
already taken charge. Capt Pratt is
a good hotel man and will make this
well known resort more popular than
ever. There are many Thomasville
people who visit these springs and
these, we know, will he glad that he
is in charge.
A Bicycle Club.
Quite a number of those interested
in bicycles met at the store of Mr. T.
E. E. Bartlett, on Broad street, last

Bicycle Club. The following are the
officers elected:
'President—H. W. Hopkins.

Tuesday night, and all who feel an
interest in the club are invited to at
tend.
Hon. Gazaway Hartndge, of Sav
annah, Georgia’s great humorist, lec
turer and writer, spent yesterday
morning in the city. Mr. Hartridge
came in on the early morning train,
intending to go on to Albany, where
he was to lecture at the Georgia
Cbauianqua at eleven o'clock, but
while np town, his train left him, so
there was nothing ta do bat wait here

Mr. Editor:
As I feel assured that you are a
zealous friend to the “Charity Hoepi*
tal,” I beg your active interest in
making my suggestions known to the
friends of this noble Institution so
that all will co operate iu strengthen
ing the weak treasury lor the sum
mer’s demand upon it.
In the name of ' Consideration'
may say, not lor one mement was the
thought of a slight to a religious
sect suggested. The unfortunate sc-
lectnn of Good Friday debarred so
many of ihe frieuds of the Hospital
from attending the entertainment,
that I now ask a general interest in
this uoble Institution that will be the
crowning feature of a happy and bless
ed winter in this health giving city of
[>ines. x We all know there is talenl
the hotels, boarding houses, private
homes and schools that will gladly
come forward and do well its pait
1 compensation beyond tl.e
*s of helping to do good,
uliich is. alter all, the richest reward
one can reap. Let the admirable oi«*
chestra of the Piney Woe da make out
its pait of the programme, then in
vite our neighbors from La Cubana
to brighten U3 with their sweet tongue,
then call upon all who have aided in
any performances for sweet charity’s
sake to volunteer their part again
and by next Saturday evening I feel
well satisfied such a big ball of free
will offering and love can be rolled
together that the gold it will bring
will be insignificant in brightness by
the side of the happy memory that
will be evergreen in the hearts of
triends that will soon be parted for
many months and perhaps forever.
Let this be strictly an entertainment
incurriog no expense. Let every dol
lar go to the Hospital. I must ask
you, Mr. Editor, to fill oat my crude
suggestions by your proverbial kindli
ness in helping any good work in c
sweet little city of the pines.
Consideration No. 2.
The Guards had quite an interesting
meeting at the armory on Monday
night'. The boys of course are very
much disappointed at not being ad
mitted to camps this year, and will
take steps to have an encampment of
their own. The suggestion was made
that the Guardi and several other
companies of the 4th regiment go to
St. Simons for a week this summer.
This seemed to catch the crowd, and
Capt Hansell and Lieut. Jerger were
appointed a committee -to write to
the companies at Quitman, Valdosta,
Wayctoss and Brunswick and endeav
or to enlist them, to the scheme- St.
Simons is a delightful place and the
one of the brightest men ir. the state,
and we are sorry he could not stsy! boys will enjoy a week’s outing down

Citizen Endorses Visitor.
Thomasville, April 5, *93
To Tiie Times Enterprise :
I write a line to emphasize the wise
suggestion of Visitor in your issue of
to day, in regard to the Jackson street
crossing. At least ninety per cent of
the students attending the South Geor
gia College have to cross the said road
either at Fletcher or Jackson street
at least twice a day. It is alway s
dangerous for young people to be
about traius. It would be a great re
lief to the parents oi Thomesville if
their childreu could get to and from
school without crossing the railroad.
It seems to me if the track was raised
few feet an underground crossing
could be made and all danger remov
ed. Looking at the ground this
would seem an easy undertaking.
Visitor writes from the standpoint of
the traveling public. I write on be
half of the parents and children. I
do hope our good city fathers wHl
move in this matter at once.
Citizen.
At The Pmey Woods.
Thejast full dress hop of the sea
son—iu ail probability-rtook place
at the Piney Woods, on Wednesday
evening. If the last ,the season closed
in a blaze oflight and beauty. These
affairs at the Piny Woods daring the
season now very rapidly- drawing to
a dose have been exceptionally brill
iant, but few if any of them surpassed
the occasion tefered to. To say that
the music was furnished by the or
chestra of the hotel is to say |that it
was splendid. The large dining room,
brilliantly illuminated, was cleared
for the occasion, " *
Parties participating, ladies and
gentlemen, were, upon their arrival,
shown to dressing rooms. Mrs. Bow
er, Managed Davies, the ‘entire office
staff, and down to the bell boys, .were
assiduous in their attentions to tbe
guests of the eveoing.
The following ladies were present:
Mesdames Charles Hebard, Crouse,
Cfiumatsero, Dawson, Ewarts, Ins’ee,
Weil, Van Richter, Praag, Mason,
Nelson, Wray, Tharin, Hopkins, L. H.

There were mauy other gentlemen
present who did not participate in the

not dance, a large number being pres
ent as spectators. The following was
the order of dances:

7. Lanciers—Lenox -Wiegand
8. Polka—My Favorite Wohanka
There £were a number of very
handsome gowns worn. The Thom
asville girls and their Northen sisters,
never looked more charming. The
gentlemen were all in full evening
dress. When the reporter looked in
at a late hour, lithe and willowy forms
were gracefully gliding across the
polished floor, to the soft strains of a
dreamy waltz. Midoighl’s witching
hour brought the dance to a close.
A few bars of “Home Sveet Home ”
sounded the requiem of the dancing
season at the Piuey Woods Hotel -

Maxwell’s axe,
What a world of massacre resulteth
from its whacks!
Hearit sever, sever, sever,
Sever off official heads:'
Hear it catting, cutting ever.
Hear it resting, resting never,
As tbe victim’s blood it sheds.
With a dull and sickening thud—
Oh, the goilottnabulation of the whacks
Of the axe, axe, axe, axe, axe,
Of the chopping and the lopping
Of the axe!”
Refering tollie handsome Easter

The subtle link that connects the
celebration of Easter day with don

mysterious things that no masculine

as in regard to other attributes of the
fair sex, we may admire even where
we fail to comprehend.

The two communications published
yesterday aud d y before in regard
to the Jackson street crossing has
stiire.1 up considerable talk about the
matter. This crossing is indeed a
dangerous place, and becomes more
so every day. Something will have
to be done before long, and the sooner
the better for all concerned. We
trust the authorities will move in the
matter and before another busy sea
son have the place fixejlm some man
ner that will protect people that are
forced to cross there from danger.
Why Wc Should Educate.
Some time ago the Educational
Index sent a request to college presi
dents in every state of the union re
questing such an answer as could be
written on a small size postal card.
Of the large number sent in that oi
our townsman, Col J. Colton Lyues,
was accepted as the best, and printed.
The following is copied from that
paper:
We should educate in order to
have men aud women qualified to see
and accept the facta of Science, Poli
tics, Society and Religion just as they
really arc. To overcome the acrimo
ny of party strife; the inate tendency
of a free and vivacious people to deal
in exaggeration of former and passing
events; to rescue the important facts
of our own history from oblivion; to
sift out facts from traditions; to ar
range these facts under the discrimi
nating eye of trained observation, and
to teach aright the vital lessons that
may be drawu from them.
J. Colton Lykes.
President S. G. M. & A. College.
The merchants and business men
are kicking loud aud long over the
taking off of the trains on the Ala
bama Midland running between here
and Bainbridge, which left here
every evening and arrived early
the morning. These trains were used
extensively by people living along
the line of road to come to town and
do a day’s shopping and return
home in the evening. They were
quite a help to our merchants and
now since they have been discontin
ued they feel the loss.
