MerfliantTaiioring.
The discontinuation of traias Nos
25 and 26, on the Alabama Midland
road, has created a great deal ot
talk among business men iu this city,
as well as with the peoplo living along
the line of road between here and
Bambridge. The truth of the matter
is this action of the officials has se
riously injured the trade of Thomas
ville and great’y inconvenienced the
people living along the line. No 26
arrived here early ia the morning and
No. 25 left in the evening, thus en
abling parties to come to Thomasville
and transact business and reach home
the same day. The present schedule
makes it impossib'e to do this now.
Parties coming here have to take the
train arriving about 2 o’clock, stay all
night here and leave next day at
9:45 a.m. Very naturally the peo
ple living along the line of the read,
as well as the business men of Thom,
asvi'le, liko the old schedule best, and
they would appreciate it could the
officials of the road see their way clear
to resume the morning and evening
trains. We trust they wiH consider
the matter, and we know they will do
he best they can to give the people
the service they so much desire.
Graded Schools for Thomasville.
Times Enterprise :
The summer vacation will soon be
here, so the city of Thomasville,
concerned about the above subject
should hold a meeting and consult at
to the propriety of getting a bill au
thorizing a system of public graded
schools. The step would be one in
the right direction, not only because
of the dissomination of more universal
knowledge by a system calculated to
benefit largely a class of our citizens
not otherwise so attainable, bat opens
up a channel through which popula
tion and wealth will flow into our
city, and thereby build up every
enterprise now occupying the atten
tion of our business men, and tend to
produce a greater influx of capital.
The friends of the enterprise know
that it would be no experiment, and
trust that not only every large
and liberal minded citizen of the city
but every voter will give it a liearty
support, as it is intended to benefit
every one cf every class of society
alike.
Instead, then, of having a half
dozer small schools of twenty or forty
pupils each, as is now the case iu this
town, we could have a first class
graded school, where the course of
study would be uninterrupted and
pr gressive. Thu plan would not
tlitow out of employment any good
teachers, as they would be needed to
take charge, under the management
i trained superintendent, of the
different grades to which they would
be best qualified and adapted. Don’t
you see that by this means you get
specialists? Then our people would
take ?. piide in their schools; and pri
vate subscriptions would be added to
the fund as propcsed, and after a
while elegant buildings for their ac-.
com mod it ion, with all the advantages
f modern improvements, books, li
braries, aparatus, etc., would be se
cured or erected.
Let us flee from the ghost ot “mur
dered time,” and with the Baconian
cry of fructus! fructus! strike the
chorda of utility and of progress.
This is what Atlanta has done. Look
at her to-day. Macon, Augusta,
and even our neighbor, Americus.

nature of the old philosophy with all
its impracticablfe absurdities? Let us

Pear Growers Meet.
. The Pear Growers Association met
yesterday in the court house, presi
dent Yarnedoc in the chair. There
was quite a goodly attendance of the
growers of this section.
The committee on transportation
read a lengthy and valuable report,
which was appreciated and approved.
The committee on packages pre
sented five different kinds, three
barrels, one crate, and one basket all
of which were examined and discuss
ed by the members. The committee
was continued.
The committee appointed to in
quire about refrigerator cars was not
ready to report, and was continued.
On motion of Dr. L. B. Bouchelle
the following committee was appoint
ed to ascertain if a canning factory
could be established here and at what
cost: B. F. Hankins, T. E. Black
shear and L. B Bouchelle.
All the old officers was re-elected,
v L. L. Varnedore, Pres; E. M
Mallette.vicc president, and B. W.
Stone secretary aud treasurer.
Truck Farming Pays
The iast issue ot the Boston World
contains the following:
Truck fanning around Boston is by
> means an experiment. It is a
money making industiy. Mr. J. S.
Norton is a pioneer truck farmer and
has made it plain that this method of
faruvng pays. This year he is grow
ing extensively cabbage, Irish pota
toes, beans and various other things,
and besides this he carries on a reg
ular farm, raising two and three crops
very acre each season. He never
allows anything to go to waste, and
altogether he has a mode) Georgia
farm, in example worthy of emula
tion.
Cotton in a surplus crop, and large
yield, cf ctrn is made on ground that
has already produced other paying
crop 0 .
r. Norton perhaps has more barn
room then ary farmer in Thomas
county, and around them you can see
large droves of sleek, well fed cattle,
ready for the slaughter. To see his
place is but to cause exclamations of
astonishment.
Work at La Cubana.
The leperter visited La Cubana
the new suburb that is being bui't
by the Exchange aud Banking Com
pany just North of town yesterday
moruiug and he was struck by the
progress that has been made in the
past week. The center of the place,
which will be a square or park, has
been cleared eff, and the trees have
been removed from the streets lead
ing into it. Bricklaying on the pow
er house is progressing rapidly. The
contractor, Mr. Coulter, has a large
force of hands at work and the walls,
are some two feet above the ground,
Mr. Gribben, who has the contract
for building the factory has a large
force at work making the necessary
excavations. Bricklaying will com
menced on this building this week
and will be pushed forward rapidly.
Already quantities of sand und brick
have been placed on the ground.
Sir. Rob’t Dekle keeps his saw
mill humming aud is turning out
lumber with a rush.
La Cubana City is now and will
continue to be for many months, the
busiest place in South Georgia.
The Sunday School Picnic.
The Sunday Schools of the city are
moving in the matter of their annual
picnic. Committees have been appoint-
d while no definite action has
beeu taken it is pretty well agreed that
ill be at Bair,bridge on the fifth of
May. Mr. Joe Robison, who was
appointed to confer with the railroad
authorities in regard to transportation,
informed us yesterday that the Ala
bama Midland people had agreed to
special train and charge 50
cents for adults, 25 cents fer children
under twelve years and nothing for
children under five. This is a
satisfactory rate, but there are seme
her details to be arranged before the
trade can be c’osed. We trust that
nothing will occur to change the
programme, as Baiubridgo is one of
the most delightful places that could
be selected ter the occasion. As soon
anything definite has been agreed
upon we w*U .ay it-before our readers.
Mr. John F. Wisenbaker, an old
aud highly esteemed citizen of Lownds
county, has been brutally murdered
by a tramp. Several arrests have
been made. Excitement runs high
in Valdosta aud Lowndes county. If
the man is thoroughly identified
thoTC may be a lynching. Let the
law take is course gentlemen.
Discusssing canning factories t’’e
Augusta Chronicle thus refers to an
able arlic'e on the subject by Mr.
C. S. Nettles, of 8outh Carolina:
Peaches and tomatoes he regards the
safest fruit and vegetable for canning,
as there is always ample demand for
both. There are larger profits, how
ever, in green peas, as these can be sep
arated into three grades, the smallest
briDg fancy prices. He advocates rais
ing your own vegetables for canning,
as there is money in raw material as
well as in the canned goods. He ar
gues that any acre of land that will
make a bale of cotton will net the
owner $40 above all expenses if plant
ed in vegetables. He regards the
south as the best market for southern
canneries. Southern dealers now buy
their canned goods at the north, and
southern canneries can furnish them
just as good, less the freight.
We call the attention of local cap
italists to the above. There is mon
ey in a canning factory.

hangs out.
Mr. Wm. Miller, the well known
architect' and builder, has commenced
woik ou Mr. Ewart’s new house on
uper Dawson street. It will be

The Piney Woods Closes.
The Piney Woods Hotel dosed yes
terday, after dinner, what has been the
most prosperous season in its history.
We doubt if there is a hotel anywhere
in the south that has enjoyed as exs*
tensive patronage as this hotel. From
within a short time after the opening
of the house up to a very few days
ago it has been filled to its utmost
capacity, and hundreds have been
turned away. People came here and
waited, some of them for weeks, for
some one to leave that they might get
the vacated rooms. Mrs. Bower and
Manager Davies have built for them
selves and the Piney Woods a reputa
tion second to none. They have
handled the immense business of the
past winter in an admirable manner,
and all who stopped with them speak
ia the strongest terms of praise of the
house and us superb management. So
well pleased were these people that
many cf them have already engaged
rooms tor next season, and will come
back to rhomasville and enjoy again
the excellent accommodations of this
admirably hostelry and the soft balmy
climate and health giving breezes cf
this piney woods c»»y. Tl e Piney
Woods is' a hotel cf which Thomas
ville is proud, and every citizen cf the
place rejoices in its success and pros
perity.
Mr. F. A. Budlong, the pleasant
and affable room clerk, and Mr. Geo.
S. Colman, the accommodating and
efficient cashier, lef: yesterday for New
York. These gentlemen have con
tributed largely to the success of the
house, and have made many warm
southern friends who will heartily wel
come their return next year.
Mons. Jules Durand, the accom
plished chef of the hotel, also left
yesterday. Mons. Durand hasn’t a
superior in his profession anywhere,
as the patrons cf the house will testify.
Among others leaving yesterday
were W. E. Sherman, engineer; E. J.
Sherman, assistant engineer; Edward
Avery, bartender, and Chas. Gasson,
assistant bartender.
The Times-Enterprise hopes to
see all of these gentlemen at the Piney
VV’oods again next season.
The School Enumeration.
The enumerators have not yet
completed the work of taking a cen
sus of all the school children in the
county. Only four dntricts have
been returned to commissioner Mac-
lean, Metcalfe, Ochlockoaee, Glasgow
and Spence. The work has been
completed in the Thomasville district,
but the enumerator has not yet made
his returns. It is thought that the
total figures of the county will show
a slight advance over the last census
taken in 1888, though Thomasville
will probably be about 100 less than
at that time. The heaviest increase
will probably bs iu the Cairo and
Ochlockonee districts The whole
work will be completed in a few days
when we will give the figures.
A Narrow Escape.
A deaf and dumb boy who is an in
mate of the poor house was walking
along the track of the Monlicello road
yesterday just before the arrival cf the
train from that Florida town, lie was
two or three hur dred yards from the sta
tion and walking toward it,consequent-
ly'he did not see the train. The engin
eer gave a number ot sharp blasts, but
ot course the deaf boy did not hear
them but sauntered on all unconsious
of dang< r. *1 he engine was reversed,
bu' not in time to prevent it frem hit
ting the young man. When the pilot
struck him he was thrown
upward and backward, lodging
under the headlight and there
he clung until the train pulled up. He
was somewhat bruised but not seri
ously hurt. It is supposed that he
was very much surprised when sud
denly hoisted into the air from the
rear. Strange that deaf and dumb
people will ever walk along a railroad
track.
For Safe Keeping.
Cothran, the alleged murderer of
J. F. Wisenbaker, in Lowndes coun*
ty, was brought here by the Deputy
Sheriff of Lowndes county yesterday
morning for safe keeping. Cothran
wassent to Waycroas several days
ago, but excitement in and around
Valdosta was so intense that the au
thorities were afraid to leave him
there, so he was brought here.
There were rumors on tko streets
yesterday to the effect that the mob
would come hero after him, but
think they were groundless. Cothran
is perfectly safe in Thomasville. Judge
Hansell has instructed Sheriff Doss
to protect' him and the Sheriff will
do it at all hazxrds.
Veterans C. 5. A.
The undersigned hereby call a
meeting of the Ex*Cnbfederate Sol
diers of Thomas county to meet at

All ex confederates are cordially
invited to be present aud join the or

To Fruit And Vegetable Gro w-
ers.
Here is an item from tho SavanN
nali News which may interest some
of our fruit and vegetab’e growers:
The Charleston and Savannah Rail
way Company will on Monday April
17, and dailyM hereafter, run a through
fast freight train from Savannah and
points south direct to Jersey City on
the fastest schedule ever operated.
The train will be known as No. 208
Atlantic Coast Dispatch, and is made
up entirely of ventilated cars, run
for the rapid transit of perishables.
The train will leave Savannah at
6 o’clock a. m. and arrive iu Jersey
City in time for market on the sec
ond morning.
Thomas Superior Court.
The April term of Thomas Superior
court was convened Monday m cm-
ing at ten o’clock, Judge Hansell on
the bench. Very nearly the whole
forenoon was consumed in organizing
the court and getting ready for busi
ness. The grand and petit jurors
were sworn in.
Judge Hansell’s charge to the grand
jury was forcible and comprehensive*.
He clearly laid before them the duties
they had sworn to faithfully perform,
and impressed upon them the impor*
tance of discharging these duties in a
fair and impartial manner, “without
fear, favor, affection, reward or the
hope ot reward.” Ho told them that
it was their duty to look into aU the
affairs of the county, the finances,
public buildings, records of county
officers, roads and bridges, etc. Also
to supply any vacancy that may have
occurred in the board of education,
and recommend suitable parties to fill
any vacancies that may have occurred
in the offices of notary public an ex-
officio justice of the peace.
The jury was spet ially charged in
regard to the law against gambling.
This practice is very dangerous to
young men, and he instructed the
jury to be specially diligent in bring
ing violators of this law to justice.
He next called the attention of the
body to the law against carrying con
cealed weapons and carrying deadly
weapons to places of public gatherings.
This law was made to protect human
life, and he wanted the jury to pre
sent all parlies found guilty of violat
ing it.
Tho Judge specially charged the
jury in regard to the saleofintoxicat-
ing liquors aud the laws governing
the same. These laws prohibited the
sale without license and required the
dealer to give bond to keep au order
ly house. His honor stated that
from what he had seen and heard it
would not bo difficult to show that
there were some very disorderly
houses in Thomasville, in fact on
Saturday nights some of them were
little short of pandemonium. He
also spoke at some length about Sun
day business, selling to intoxicated
persons and to minors.
His Honor nt‘Xt spoke of the cigar
ette law, which prohibits any one
from selling, giving or furnishing
cigarettes or cigarette paper to minors.
This iaw is evidently frequently vio
lated as hundreds of boys are seen
racking them ou the streets daily.
The Judge spoke of the large num
ber of lycchiugs that have taken place
throughout the country during the
past year. Lynching is nothing hut
urder under the laws of both God
and man and cannot be too strongly
condemned. It is a sad fset that mob
law is on the increase, and the Jud;
hed to impress upon the jury the
importance of satisfying the people
that the law would be enforced in
very instance.
He closed his charge to the jury by
jiving them iu charge the penal code
of Georgia and instructed them to
inquire diligently into all violations
of auy of the laws.
As soon as the juries were sworn in
the court proceeded at once to busi
ness. The following cases were dis
posed of:
Isaac Brandon vs Fannie Brandon,
suit for divorce. Granted.
Louis Rountree vs. Jenuie Roun
tree, suit for divorce. Granted
Willie J. Collins vs. F. C, Collins,
suit for divorce. Granted.
Tallulah Dutton vs. W. L. Dut

American Freehold Mortgage Com
pany vs. Randall Thompson, com
plaint. Judgment.
B. A. Bass, trusteo. vs. S. L. Hayes,
executor Mrs. McKinnon, petition to
establish copy of lest deed. Granted.

will be continued this morning and
will probably consume all tho fore-
