Mrs. Sjphrjfiia Mitchell, one of Thomas county’* oldest "and most highly esteemed citizens, died at her home in this county on Sunday morn ing, after quite a long illness. Mrs. Mitchell was born near Suw- ter, S. C., on the 10th day of October 1808. Her maiden name was Dickey. In the year 1826 she removed to Thomas county with her uncle, Mr. Henry Atkinson, her parents having died in South Carolina, there being at that time two sisters and a brother, who came to Thomas county, Shad- rack, the father of Wm, J., Thos. E., Patrick II., and John E , and Har riet E , who married to Col. Nabor Harvin, and Nelson, who married Dr. T. B. Winn. She was married to Col. Richard Mitchell on the 30th day ot April, 1829. With the excep tion of one year they lived with his father, she has resided on the old huinestcad wkejv she died continuous ly for 63 years. She was the mother ine childrob, one of whom died in infancy. There survives her seven, Henry, Raines, Sallie, Robt. G., Mrs. Fannie Hall, Mrs. J. Mr Blackshear and Mrs. K. T. McLean. Until the death of Judge W. D. Mitchell last October, death had not invaded tbo family circle since the death of her husband on tbo 12th day'of February, 1850. On the morning of the 14ih ot May, at five o’clock, surrounded by many loved ones, there went out the life of as true and as faithful a woman ever made the world hotter and brighter. All who ever came within the radius of her home loved her. Iler kind, sympathetic, gentle and generous nature ever made her the object of admiration and devotion. The largo number of descendants, i she has lived to bless,’willcher- sh for her a love that will extend to eternity. • Though not a member of the church, she had a living, abiding faith in G.*l, and a simple trust in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation. She will be laid to rest in the family burying grouud upon the old home- 5 ad she loved * > well. It is indeed hard to part iroiu one we have known so long and loved so well, and the beieaved children and relatives have the sincerest sympathy of ail in their afiiiciion. Tom Bottoms is a born hustler, and he is the busiest man in Georgia now working up the big excursion to Montgomery on the 23rd.

The young vine-* are doing nicely everywhere an ! small melons are found On some. The railroad people await the coming season with dread. Louisville, Cincinnati Mr. E. L.

Some of our people are interested in i reorganization plan ot the Central lit of them having deposited their ■unties with the reorganization com- Ue«\ Here-is the latest about the plan Liken from the News: “Have you had any newsirom New York in regard to the reorganization plan?” Mi. Comer was asked jesters day. “Yes,” was his reply, “I have had a loiter from a well-known member ot the reorganization committee, who thoroughly conversant with the situation, who says that the securities have been deposited in sufficient amounts to give the committee ft com* inand of the entire situation, and that the reorganization will go on withont a falter. “This is the second or third assur ance of this kind that I have had lately. There is little doubt but that th; syndicate will be formed withia a short time.” The impression has been, created that tho talk on the outside about the failure of the plan originated with its enemies who have been the authors of the numerous adverse suits. - That Land Problem Again. Cairo, Ga , May 11, 1893. Cait. Triplett: I know the land problem has be come an eye sore to some of your readers, therefore, I ask your indul gence in just a few words. Olney and Wentworth, the two best authorities i:i the world, agree that “unices the hypothesis of a pro position be true alt demonstration and reasoning is absurd.” In this would be problem we have given the amount of land purchased, the amount of money expended by each, aud the price per acre paid by each to fiud the number of acres each received. 1’leave it to any fair-minded math ematician who has examined the problem if A and B can receive together 200 acres of land, each pay ing bis $200 at 82.25 and 81.75 per acre respectively. It simply cannot i done. Did you ever kill a snake .-ir? If », and you watched it through the day, you found that even if you killed it in the early morning, its tail would writhe and wiggle until sunset, long after its head had become cold and stiff and dead. Allow me to compliment I’rof- Stuhbs as having given the best solu tion of the problem that has appeared in your column?. With respect to all the mathetickers, yours,'etc. T. II. Parker. Certainly no finer weather could have been wished, than that of yes terday, on the occasion of the annual Union Sunday school picnic. It was just warm enough, just cool enough, and the breeze gentle and refreshing. At an early hoar the throng gathered at the railroad station. .When ‘‘all aboard” was announced by the con ductor at 8-15 ten coaches were packed from end to end. Mothers, fathers, girls and boys, misses and belles aud beaux to the number of about six hundred found placeB on the long train. With Mr. L. Alford at the throttle, and Conductor J. .-A. Bowden hold of the bell cord, the long train swept away toward the Ochlock- oueo and, the Flint. Short stops were made at Cairo, Whigham and Climax. On the arrival of the train at Bain* bridge the crowd disembarked and walked to the old fair grounds, where the picnic was held. Neath the mag nificent oaks, and near the swift running Thronateeska, the picuicers found tho delightful refuge from the sun. Many of the citizens of the Oak City were on the grounds to welcome the party from Thomasvi le. Just here we would like to say that all the committees appointed performed their duties well and faithfully. To them, largely, are the little folks, especially, indebted for tho p'easure of the day. It was ‘'Childrens Day.” A splendid dinner was spread at 1 o’clock. Thora- asville and Bainbridge met at a com mon board, aud there was enough to spare. And it was of the beet. If any failed to get a good dinner it was certainly not the fault of those who provided it. Through the thoughtful kindness of Congressman Ben E. Russell, the Steamer Fanny Fearn, which made her lauding at 11 o'clock, a. m. Was secured for au excursion. Captain Marcrum kindly ran his beantiful river steamer up opposite the picnic grounds at 1:30 o’clock, when about one hundred and fifty boarded the vessel. A run of about fifteen miles was made to the delight and enjoy- meut of every one on board. Those who did not go on the steamer, many of them, watched au interesting game of base ball between a Thomasville and Bainbridge nine. The Thom asville boys laid the other fellows out pretty badly. The return was made to Thomas ville without accident or incident, thanks to the precautionary steps taken by the committee to prevent accidents. Tired, but happy, the little fellows fairly tumbled into their beds last night, dreatniDg, doubtless, of swings aud sweethearts. Chairman Walker, and his able corps of assistants, worked constantly to make the occasion a pleasant one for all. Hundreds took in the beautiful town of Bainbridge. Clothed in her spring time robes, that fair city challenged the admiration of every one. Editor John M. Brown, with his accomplished wife, were on hand to welcome the party from Thomasville. - * * The Democrat thus welcomed the excursion to the “Oak City:” ‘‘Thomasville is thrice welcome in the Oak City, and to its many um brageous delights and beauties. While we cannot show her own im mense hotels and other places of pub lic entertainment, we can boast beau ties in nature, in oar beautiful river, with its numerous and elegant steam** era and smaller craft, onr unequalled trees, our delightful private home?, natural porks, and beantiful flowers, and fair women and gallent men that will be calculated to arouse her feel- ingy of envy, is she has any.” Obituary. New York, May 4 1895. Editor Times-Enterfrise : During my recent visit to Thomas ville, my iriends will remember seeing me riding out, nearly every day, with an invalid- young man. He was my grand-soD. Five months ago he was attacked with “quick consumption’ and the 'disease made such rtpid progress that when brought to Thom asville, his recovery was very doubt ful. His physician, Dr. T. M: McIn tosh, did all for him that medical skill could suggest. The doctor said he did not want medicine, or very little, but he required open air exercise as he was too weak to walk. Rev. Mr. Parker gave me the use of his horse and carriage, for a trifling charge, and we rode every pleasant day. He was brought home, and he breathed his last on April 24th. For three years he had been a stu dent at Stevens Electrical Engineering Institute, at Hoboken, N. Y., and would have graduated in one year more. In a class of fifty he stood first in mathematics, and was not be low third in any branch of work or study. He was a practical Christian, never retiring at night without reading his Bible and offerimg prayer. As his end approached, he had no fearot death. His idea of death is beautifully express ed by Longfellow: There is no death: Wliat 3eema so is The excursion party will not soon forget the kindly hospitality extended them by the good people of Bain bridge. It was sincere and without affectation. It will be a wonder if more than 0 heart affair was not brought to a focus. Cupid was on hand, and the little God, us he always doos, got in his work. Congressman Russell exerted him self to make the occasion a pleasant for everybody. It was Mr. Rus sell who wired to Columbus to get a permit for the steamboat to carry the excursion party up the river. Every lady in the party would, if they had a vote, cast it for Mr. Russell. That was a jolly crowd of young people, in the second coach from the front, returning. To say that they had a good time returning is putting it mildly.. Not an accident or inoident oc curred to mar the pleasure of any one. That dinner, well it was a feast fit for the gods. Everything was good and in the greatest profusion. A New Phosphate Company Organized. The Luraville Phosphate Co. f of Luraville, Suwannee county, Fla., has just been organized aud charter applied for. The names of the in corporators are P. A. McIntosh, of Thomasville, Ga.; T. J. McIntosh, of Luraville, Fla ; J. Wyman Jones and C. B. Parsons, of Bonne Terre,. Mo.; George S. Dana, of Utica, N. Y., and Charles M. Chapin, nf Englewood, N. J. The purpose of the company is the mining and manufacturing of phosphates, the buying and selling of phosphate and timbci lands and the construction and operation of railroads or tramreads through its extensive properties. The capital stock 8100,000, divided into 1,000 shares of the par value of $100 each. The company owns a rich tract of 320 acres, 1 situated in Suwannee county, which it will operate at present. The officers consist of the following gen tlemen : P. A. McIntosh, president and treasurer, resident at Thomas ville, Ga.; T. J. McIntosh, superin tendent and general manager, with main office at Luraville, Fla, and J. Wyman Jones, Chas. M. Chapin, George S. Dana, C. B. Parsons, P. A. McIntosh and Thomas L. McIntosh as directors.—Manufacturers’ Record. Canning Factories in Georgia The canning industry is making rapid strides in Georgia, a state in which it has exceptional opportunities in the shape of cheap raw material. Canning factories are in operation at Griffin, Hawkinsville, Forsyth Jackson, Tifton, Macon, Blackshear, Waynesboro, Madison, Fort Valley, Eaton ton, Dalten, Hartwell, Quit* and other points, probably twenty in all. There is strong talk of start ing such factories at Rome, Americas, Cuthbert, Flovilla, Town?, Barnes- Toccoa, Reynolds, Thomson, Abaslum, Tennille, Sandersville, Sum merville, Montezuma, Washington, Whigham, Marshallville, Walden, Lulaville and China Hill. It is believed that this industry will be found fairly profitable. Geor gia’s fruit and vegetable product is so large that it is difficult to market it unless we can a good portion of it. The canned goods that are not con- rued here at home can bo sold any where in the country, in Europe and iu India aud Africa. Where these factories have been established it has been found that the farmers have decreased their cotton acreage aud gone iuto the cultivation of fruit and vegetables. It is believed that in the course of a few years Georgia will produce annually about 10,000,000 cans of peaches. There is money in the business, and when such an indus try is in full blast several valuable crops will be saved and marketed at good prices instead of being allowed to rot on the ground, as is the case many localities. Canning factories are not expensive. They cost very little when started on a small scale.— Constitution. ~ Thomasville is fully as well if not better located for canning factories os any of the towns mentioned above, and there is big money in the business for the man that will put his money and time into the enterprise. We hope and we have every reason to be lieve that Thomasville will soon be numbered .among the towns in Geor gia that are operating successful can ning factories. It baa become a ne cessity and is bound.to come. . - It {coked natural to see our old friend, Sharon, in the office of the Sharon house. Time appears to be dealing very gently with him. Postmaster Zachary has arranged model postoffice for the convenience of tbe public. He is the right ma the right place. * Tno prettiest girl ia Thomasville is in the party. Of course you know who she i?. If man bad done as much for Bainbridge as nature,” remarked a visitor, “it would be the prettiest town in the South.” Everybody is in favor of goin Bainbridge next year. More thau one susceptible young man will go before the next May party. The Bainbridge girls played havoc with some ot the boys from here. Tli 19 life of mortal breath Is but a suburb of the life elysi Whose portals we call death.” The truth of this was exemplified in his last moments, A few moments before he breathed his last his auDt standing over him said, “Do you know me Gardit?” “Yes,” was his feeble reply, “I can hear your voice, but I cannot open ray eyes.” In a moment more he said, “My eyes will be opened and I shall see the light.” He lived but five minutes lor ger, when I have no doubt his eye* were opened and he saw the light. ‘Let us die iho'death of the right— is and let my last end be like his.” ‘Mark the perfect man, aud behold the upright: for the end of that m; peace.” G Q. Colton. Professor Ingalls Shoots Back. Thomasville, Ga., May 15, ’93. Capt. Triplett : Brother T. H. Parker comes at again, but ridicule is no /actor in t solution of the laud .problem, neither does it exist as a principle in the exact science we are considering; it is a poor argument, and only those use it who have no other. ..No, Bro. Parker, your construction of the workiog of the problem will not hold water. With the oddi against you you cannot hope to win, however gifted you may be in the use of metaphorical similitude?. You have not tho merits of the ques txon in your favor; you can’t kill a snake with a rotton apple, and the head and tail will both “wiggle’ attempt it. Why don’t has his l- ao or> dash” I'l The officials of the road, who han dled the train, won the good will of every one. They were careful, polite and attentive to the wants of all. you explain, when you say $2.25 and $1.75 is each tbe “price paid per acre.” Paid to whom ? Was the land sold twice? and paid for twice? The statement says they agreed to divide at S2.25 ami $1.75 per acre; does not that mean at these respective rates per acre? What does rate mean? Put up your rhetoric, sonny, and get your big dictionary. , In consonance with the progressive spirit of the age you arc shooting too high; you are aiming at the sun when you wish to hit an object on the ground. When we consult the -beat authority, we are first referred to ratio. Then rate is defined as fol lows: First, proportion or standard by which value is adjusted. . Second, comparative height or History , of a Georgia Cracker. Shreveport, La., May 8. 1893. Editor Times-Enter prise : Knowing the interest you take in the success of boys born on Georgia soil and especially ia Thoma? county, I thought it would be of interest to say something about one of these individuals. Georgia has furnished-her quota of great men, Among whom we find lawyers, physicians, divines, ju rists,statesraenjand orators. Combined with her resouces gives her the proud distinction—the empire state of the south—so the star that rises in this constellation must have many gems in her crown. Georgia has not produced an Edison, a Franklin or a Morse, but methinks that in no distant day she will know of one of her sons who has distinguished himself as an inventor to fill up this absent link in her golden chain. Everybody in Thomas county knows Taylor Hancock, the shirt tail boy who grew up on his fathers farm into young manhood, as a pinty woods cracker, without money and without education. Old man Wolff knows the day he forced him to buy table salt to save his pork, simply 'because he had said salt as an overstock on hand and was afraid to advance him money to buy of a grocer, he holding a mortgage on every thing he possessed, or Capt. Finn who magnanimously, after sur veying him from bottom to top, sold him a barrcll of flour because the poor fellow looks like he^needs it. : * “Truth crushed to earth will rise ' again.” If a boy has. within him the; clement ot “grit in hts craw” you can no more prevent these elements devel oping into the said “grit” no . more ; than you can prevent the grains ot j wheat sown in fertile soil, developing • into the golden fruit if left to the i natural process of growth. Who is Taylor Hancock to-o.-y i Well the people out here c:t 1 him Mr. Hancock.” It was my pleasure to-day to Le taken from the beautiful suburban home of thir “Mr. Hancock ” seated by his side in a most elegant English trap dra-vn by a most beautiful and stylish pair ot horses c’othed in their giittering trappings, the whole (matud- ingthe people inside) making an equi page that was calculated 10 fix the jealous gaze of the populace in Centra! Park or in Thomasville, acd driven into the beautiful city of Shreveport, where I was not only presented to the prominent business men, physicians and bankers, but to the lawyers, the governor maker I (Col.

Frank Stanton’s column in the Constitution is the most attractive feature of that great pap.er. There is 1/ one Stanton, but he fills the bill, be latest on an editor is this. A Georgian wrote “Let tLe galled jade ie.” It appeared in print: “Let the gallon jug win.” The third lynching within a brief period took place iu South Carolina esterday. All were negroes who had ■ssaulted white women. Congressman Turner is being loomed both for Governor and Sena- r<r. Well, he would fill either place with credit to the State.

St. Simons is a popular seaside resort. The excursion was a grand success from beginning to end. Imvitations have been issued by Miss A. A. Dowd, principal of the Allen Normal School, to the com mencement exercises of the school, which will be held on May 28th, 30th and 31st. Sunday, May 28th, the baccalaureate sermon will be delivered by Rev. G. I. Moore, of Nashville, Tenn., in Bethany chapel. Tuesday, the 30th, at 8 p. m. will be given a concert by the school, and a lengthy and entertaining programme has been arranged for this occasion. The graduating exercises will take place on Wednesday, the 31st, at 10 a. m. These exercises will consist of essays by the graduates, Julia Idella Cason and Eliza Isabella Casonjmusic by the school, ah address by Rev. G. I. Moore and tbe presentation of diplo mas by Mr. K. T. Macleau, The exercises will no doubt be very inter esting and wo ho£e our people will go ouC and see what a good work Miss Dowd and her assistants are doing.

Tybee is the,most convenient to Thomasville of the Georgia seaside resorts, and if the proper rates are made by the railroads, hotels, etc,, there is no reason why it should not become the most popular.
