- The Genrflia Belle.
By Meta Telfair McLaws. ' . ,
'• Ot the girla I know fall well,
The fairest is a Georgia belle; '
Whose racy air and queenly gaitT*
Proclaim her of the Empire state,
Her voice is of the purest note,
■ And alwajsconquersby its spell; . -
For words unkind she speaks ot ndfce,
This dark-ejedj winsome Georgia belle.
She numbers by the score her beaux—
Ah T envious tongues unkindly say, ‘
• She lure3 them on, and. gently throws
Her subtle dart?.e’er in their way. J .
Yet, Still she reigns—this southern queen"
Id 6pits of all that gossips tell, ~
For beauty bath a power, I ween,
When given to a Georgia belle.

The following circular was sent to

St. Louis, March 20tb, 1893.
Hb the Members of O, Z H.
At a well attended meeting of the
members of our order,, held at 620
Locust St., Saturday March .18, the
presentcondition of tbe order and its
prospects for the future were dis
cussed. In view of the lade of infor
mation regarding -the proceedings
being had which affect onr interests,
it was determined to appoint a com
mittee to investigate affairs and em
ploy counsel to tho end that the mem
bers may be represented in all pro
ceedings which affect their vital inter-
eats.
A new supreme sitting is about to
be called, to meet io cityoflndi
anapolis, which it is hoped will result
in benefit to the order. The supreme
court of Indiana will soon give a final
hearing in the matter of the receiver
ship. A last and determined effort is
about to be made to restore our order
to its membership, and failing in the
attempt to take such steps as will
secure a speedy settlement of its af
fairs and a fair distribution of its
assets.
We appeal to all members to give
this committee their moral and finan
cial support. Send at once one dol
lar to the treasurer.
A receipt will be given for all pay
ments and the same-will bo credited
in payment of dues when the order
resumes.
Meetings will be held every Satur
day eve. at 620 Locust St, where the
committee will report result of its
labors. All members invited to at
tend.

The circular reads like a scheme to
get one more dollar out of the already
swindled members of the order, aDd
this is the view most of the members
take of it. There are, however, a few
who like the scheme and will send on
their dollar. It seems to us that tho
members have sunk enough money
in this concern already, and our ad
vice to them is to let such schemes
as the above severely alone.*

The Baptist Church Property.
“You may Bay,” said Dr. J. T.
Calpepper, chairman of the building
committee of tbe Baptist church, to
the reporter yesterday, “that we have
at last closed the sale of our church
property, and the money was paid
over to-day.” It will he remembered
that this property was sold to Mr. A.
D. Thompson a few weeks ago, but
after the sale it was found ' that tbe
church could hot make deeds to Mr.
Thompson except by going into the
courts, which would consume much
time and greatly delay the building
of the new church. By reason of
some stipulation, in the titles good
deeds could be made ;to the Piney
Woods Hotel Company, whose prop
erty adjoins that of the cbnrch, and
Mr. Thompson, learning of the above
state of aflairs, very magnanimously
stepped aside and allowed the Piney
Woods people to purchaser tbe prop
erty, which they were anxious to se
cure. As stated above the papers
were signed up and tbe money paid
over yesterday. There is nothing
now in the way and we presume work
will be commenced on tho new church
at once.
Our Baptist 'friends have been
struggling for a long time to build
a new and handsome house of worship,
and we must congratulate them upon
Ihe prospects of soon accomplishing
their desires. •
We trust all other denominations,
and, in fact, the whole town, wilt as
sist these people ia their work. They
deserve and should receive the earnest
support aud aid of every citizen of
the place.

The Contract Let.
Work -is humming right along on
La Cubana aud the street railroad.
The contract for all the grading for
the street railroad was let yesterday
to the Thotaasville Brick Company,
Mr. C. H. Williams, manager. The
whole job amounts to the removal of
about 10,000 yards of dirt. There is
only one bad place on the entire line,
and that is at the branch just this side
of La Cubana, where the power house
is situated Quite a heavy bank will
have to be thrown up which will also
have to act as a dam, as it is the in
tention of the company to make a
reservoir at this point'to [supply the
power house and machinery with
water. Mr. Williams has had expe
rience in railroad grading and will
do the work right. It will require
about three weeks to complete the
gradipg.
The Key West of Georgia.
The Savannah Press says: “Thom
asville is the coming Key West of
Georgia.” The prophecy it fast
coming true. Many large manufact-
uring establishments in Cuba are
ground down and taxed to the utmost
limit by the Spanish government.
Under these conditions they have be
come very restive Many are looking
towards the United States for locations.
And they are coming. Thomasville
capital is laying ont a Spanish town,
La Cubana City, where every possi
ble inducement is being offered these
people to locate. Large factories are
goidg up. These will be occupied as
fast as completed. At present a
number of companies are at work in
temporary quarrtea in the city. These
will go to La Cubana City, just as
soon as the factories are ready for
them.
Yes, “Thomasville is the coming
Key West of Georgia.”
Mr. Tbropp, tbe well known civil
engineer, hu been engaged b, Mr.
J. L. Hand, of Pelham, to do con
siderable work in that thriving town.
Mr. Hand ia having about three
hundred acrea of land laid off into
afreets and building lots. Mr. Tbropp
wil‘ make several maps of the place, among n.
What It Will Cost,
It seems a little strange with tbe
small cost of material fur a canniug
factory that there are so few in Flor
ida where tho products are so abun
dant and easy to Jbo had. The Balti
more Manufacturers’ Record goes
fully into the details. It says that
a plant h&viog a Jcapadity of 2,000
cans of three pounds each will not
cost fur ita entire equipment more
than $100, exclusive of the building
and the brick used for the chimneys
and io Bet*the kettles. The cquip-
It is indeed amusing to watch the l“ e ”‘ a can “ in S
■erage salesman trying to make a »»talfor $2(» not .nctuumg bricks
or building- Three hundred dollars
will buy the equipment for a factory
turning out daily 10,000 cats of
three pounds each. The average la
bor cost in a.4,000 can factory is
about $25 per dajr. Why not start
a factory at the central fruit points
in Florida?—Jacksonville Metropolis.
We robmit the above’fig^res to*any
hereabouts interested in the subject.
Peace Restored.
Peace reigns supreme once more in
Mt. Pisgah Colored Baptist church.
Our readers will remember'we had a
notice a few days ago of a row be
tween the pastor,Z.H.Griffith,and W.
B. Wilson,state evangelist. The parson
preferred charges against Wilson and
Judge Bibb bound him over on Sat
urday to the county court. Sunday,
the church had a meeting to look
into the cause of the disruption
among its officers. The evidence
brought to light showed that tho par
son wa? in the wrong and he was
directed by the church to withdraw
the prosecution. This he did, paying
all costs, and the entire matter is set
tled.
The Demorest Contest.
Quite a large audience attended the
Demorest contest in tbe Methodist
church Tuesday night. Eight young
ladies took part in the contest, viz:
Misses Belle Wise, Delia Smith, Mary
Hargrave, Nellie Pringle, Delia
Bogen, Annie Poland, Lelia Crqyatt
and Eva Luke. Between the recita
tions of these young ladies .were inter
spersed beautiful and appropriate
songs. The medal was awarded to
Mi83 Delia Smith, Misses Belle Wise
and Mary Hargrave took second
prize. The judges were Messrs. G.
W. Herring, Ben McLendon and B.
W. Stone. Mr. E. M. Mallette
livered the medal in his usual happy
style.
Messrs. Golde, Gies, Guber
Scotii, the geutlenie.i who composed
the famous Piney Woods orchestra,
left yesterday tor New York. They
gave tie last concert ou Tuesday
evening. This is beyond doubt the
best orchestra that has ever been to
Thomasville. Every member is ai
artist in his -profession, and a thor
ough gentleman. Mr. Golde, the
director, and in fact every member
of the company, have made many
warm friends iu Thomasville by
their genial pleasant manners and
gentlemanly deportment. We
are glad to know that they will be at
the Piney Woods again next season.
Mr. Scott i, the flutist, not only ma-
pulates his instrument with rare
skill but is a composer of much abil
ity. He composed aj number of
pieces for the orchestra here during
the season, all of which showed that
be knew his business. He composed
tho march, and arranged it for one
hundred instruments, tbat is to be
played at the opening of the World’s
fair in Chicago.
Rabbi Jno. Sergus, a native of
East India, preached in the Presby
terian church last night to a good
sizsd congregation. His subject was
Wild People live in the tree,”
Hindoo Brahmin, Fire worship and
Devil worship, Mahommedans and
their customs, Black Jews and how
they came to be black, History of the
lost tribes of Israel; the Persecution
against the Jews in the world and
Restoration of the Jews, Old Testa
ment, Jewish prophecy and the
Messias; a history of the Manuscript
from the First Century, and conver
sion of the ten tribes.
In consequence of this service there
was no prayer meeting held in either
tbe Methodist or Baptist churches.
Mr. R. C. Govantes left for Key
West, Fla., yesterday afternoon. He
goe$ there to “ove his‘ cigar factory
from that place upjhere and will bring
back with him in a about ten days, a
large force of bands. He has his
quarters already fixed up here aud
will com-nonce work immediately up*
ou his return. Mr. Govantes has
been * in rhomasvillc several weeks,
during which time he has made • a
large number of very warm friends
who will welcome him Jo citizenship
average salesman trying
sale with one of the Cubans. The
iatter^will listen with apparently the
deepest interest as the salesman prais
es* his goods and extols upon their
merits and the low price he has put on
them, and when be has finished his
speech the Cuban’s face will broaden
with smile as he says with a shake
of the head, “Me no talkee.” The
aforesaid salesman’s jaw will drop
about two inches as he, sad’y places
the goods back on tbe shelf and goes
to the rear of tbe store wondering why
he did’not have sense enough to know
that his customer could not under
stand English. But the boys are
rapidly “catching on” and will soon
be able to'make'.theuiEclves understood.
These Spanish signs of Parker’s Clo
thing House and the Levy Mercantile
Company completely paralyze the
average darkey, whose knowledge of
eadieg and spelling is rather limited,
fou can see them stop and look, and
pell, over aud over, forward and
backward, for minutes at a time, and
finally go oil disgusted, exclaiming:
Fore de Lawd, dese here Cubians
done gone got ebryting kerflumuxed
Hits gittin so er nigger can’t
rend nuffin.” The darkey is not
alone in bis dilemma, however. Such
signs a3 “Iiopa hecha.” “Zapatos”
and “Camisetas” are jjidculated to
puzzle oven tho3e whose education is
it si limited.
Bricklaying has not yet commenced
. either factory or power house in
La Cubana. The contrac’ors are
waiting on the arrival of cement,
wbieh was ordered by telegraph last
■eek. It is expected to day and as
>on as it gets here work will be com
menced and pusheed a3 rapidly as
possible. A large force ot bands
were engaged yesterday in excavating
n the factory site. All the excava
tion me? ssary for the power house
ba.s already been done. The contracts
have signed up to have 'the work
completed in a certain time, and
there will therefore be no more delay
than possible.
The Corces Company, manulactur-
era of the Thomas Jefferson cigars,
who arrived Monday, will probably
commence work to day or to-morrow.
Their tobacco wes shipped from
Tampa Monday aud ns soon as it ar
rives the men will he put to work
.Mr. del Piuo, who went to Cuba
a few weeks ago, is expected hack to
day. He bought or.e hundred and
fifty one bales of Havana tobacco
while over there for the factory here,
It is probably not generally known,
but the factories hero manufacture
nothing but high grade goods, pure
Havana tobacco being used exclu<
sively. Some of the goods iuanu'ac*
tured by the del Fino Company are
sold by them for $150 per thousand
iu large lot?. They pay tho roller
three cents* apiece for the making of
them.
It seems tbsi the plan adopted by
the State this year of only allowing
half of the military companies to go
into camp, has had a depressing effect
upon some of the companies in this
section. The Guards lire all right
and will probably not be seriously
damaged by the new way of doing
things, but we learn from a local mili<
tary man that the Quitman Greys
have disbanded for good, and the
condition of the Brunswick Rifles,
one of the best companies in the
State, is very shaky. The effort
being made by the Guards to get a
her of companies of the fourth
regiment and go into camp on St.
Simons or some other place for a week
during the summer has not met with
much encouragement. We are in
formed that none of the companies
written to about the matter have
been heard from. We hope the boys
will succeed iu gelling up an outing
of somo kind, for without it much
interest will bo lost in the organiza
tion.
Sheriff Doss is putting the court
house in good condition for court next

four chairs have been put in, which

Times Enterprise:
I should like to eayawrd about
the bicycle riders in this towD. I re
fer to riding at night, I was^'wa’king
on the sidewalk the other night and
a young man came behind me ridir.g
on a bicycle with no bell, or anything
to warn passers by. I think that
young man deserves a rebuke, for be
is liable to run over people as not.
I hope you will mention this in your

I paid a draft of $4,000 for a lot
of Cuban tobacco a day or two since,”
said President Hayes, of the Thomas*
ville National Bank, yesterday.
“What do you suppose was the duty
on this $4,000 worth of tobacco?”
continued Mr. Hayes. The scribe,
although he has pretended that he
knew all about tariff (everybody
understands the tariff) had to plead
guilty to definite information on the
subject. “It was $3,800,” said Mr.
Hayes. And all that, and more too,
will go up. in smoke. The world

Here is an item from the Philadel
phia Record which may interest some
of our’ visitors: “There wore 304
deaths’from pneumonia in New York
last week, and 22 from grippe. The
prevalence of and fatality attending
bronchal and lung diseases this spring
should lead to great caution in chang
ing wearing apparel and exposure to
sudden changes of temperature. In
fluenza is alledged to be epidemic in
New York and we shall hardly es
cape a like visitation in this city.” In
thisccnnection it is proper to state
after the winter hotels closes there
will be good and ample accomodoa-
tion -here for all who may wish to
remain longer.
The Albany Herald says: “Col. J,
P. Fort was told by one of the fisher
men, who lure the finny tribe from the-»
bosom of the Flint,, tbat there were
quantities of shad* in this river. He
claims to have caught several fine
specimens. It will be remembered,
that several years ago the river at this
point was stocked with shad, and it is
reasonable to suppose that such is the
case.” A great many young shad
have, at various times, been placed in
the Ochlochonee river, near here.
Onr spring fishermen should look out
for them. Report the first shad
caught, gentlemen. —
