Resolutions of Respect
The following resolutions have been
adopted by tbe Baptist Sunday
School cm the death ot Rufus L.
Mitchell:
•V.GmlHn.hjs allwise plans has-seen
fit to remove from our midst our
much loved companion, Rufus Lester
Mitchell. •'
In tliis death'we have lost one who
was as a sunbeam to those with whom
he came in contact. He was kind,
obedient, and always thoughtful -of
others. Almost in the twinkling of
an eye he was taken from us, and
his soul took its flight back to God
who gave it.
The bright precioas flower, tender
and beautiful, has been plncked from
earth only to bloom in ParadLe,
there to dwell forever among the
bleat, there to sing the sweet song of
‘Moses and the Lamb.”"
Only the memory of his beauty
and loveliness of character now re*
raaiutf where once his presence made
happiness.
Oh I why are the purest and best
always taken? We know not, but
eome day, some where we shall know.
Let us not think of dear little
Rufus as dead, but only abiding with
the angels in Heaven, where all is
peace and love.
Be it then Resolved 1. By Sunday
School class, No. 10, in behalf of the
Sunday School, that we bow in bum-,
ble submission to the will of a just
ami allwise God iu removing our
pupil and companion from among us.
Resolved 2. That we sincerely de
plore his lo-s aud realize that the
wound may be healed, and the void
filled, yet time and eternity only can
tell if his place has been supplied.
Resolved 3. That we tender our
sympathy to tbe bereaved family and
relatives, and to the Sunday School
cIhes of which he was a member, and
request that these resolutions be
published, and a copy of same be
furnished the family.

The followiog special appeared in
the Albany Herald yesterday after
noon:
Brunswick, May IS.—President
Max Tillman, of the Oglethorpo
National -Bank, shot himself in the
temple frith a pistol at 10 o’clock this
morning- in hi&_office. . He never
spoke atteewarda. The bank closed
immediately.
The First National Bank closed a
few mintiteslater, bat. full particulars
cannot be learned. '
Other banks in the city' met all de
mands promptly.
Momentary runs stopped, and no
farther danger N of panic is expected.
It is believed that the First Nation
al Bank will come out all right as
soon as collections can be made.
It looked like a panic, bat there is
no excitement now. The general
feeling is that all is right. Stale
banks have proffered aid from various
points, but none is needed.

Good showers of rain and plenty of

is already made, and tbe prospect

Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Watson, of
Thomasville, came over last Friday
and enjoyed the picnic with their old
Saturday Night’s Blaze.
A lew minutes before twelve o’clock
on Saturday night an alarm of fire was
sounded and a bright light in the di
rection of the Presbyterian church
guided the firemen to the place. Dr.
McIntosh’s barn, located just in rear
of Capt. Hicks’ residence, was on fire
and before anyone arrived it bad got
ten under good headway. The Doc-
horses were both locked in the
stables, and the efforts, of those first
on the scene were directed to releas
ing them. Capt. Hicks, with an ax,
succeeded in getting 00c of them out.
The other horse, which was the doc-
favorite and a very valuable
animal, was confined in another por
tion ol the barn, and not until the fire
had spread over the entire building
was her whereabouts discovered.
The Neptunes had in the meantime
arrived and turned on a stream. Fore
man Paliu, seeing the frantic and
burning horse in the barn, with rare
courage and to the horror of the spec
tators, forced his way into the burning
building, and throwing his coat over
the animal’s head, succeeded in lead-
her out, when she was driven from
the place. Mr. Palin’s courage evoked
many expressions of admiration at the
hands ot those who sa v the brave act.
He was burned somewhat on the arm
and back,but not sevtrely. The horse
was iu a blaze when Mr. Palin reached
her and is very badly burned. The
.firemen soon had the fire extinguished,
but the barn is a complete loss. Dr.
McIntosh bad no insurance. The or
igin.of the fire is unknown.

Rev. John R Battle has accepted
the call to the pastoral care of the
Baptist church at this place.
The annual picnic for our Sunday
School, which came off last Friday,
was unanimously pronounced a per
fect success. The place selected was
the Johnston bridge, and at an
early hour about one hundred and
twenty-five persons had assembled on
the grounds. Bright faced little boys
and girls were to be seen on every
hand, all bent on a day of pleasure—
just such pleasure as only children
realize. When the hour for din
ner arrived nil repaired to a beautiful
grove where was spread a most boun
tiful supply of such as to tempt the
appetite. Don won tbe first prize at
the picnic for tbe best appetite of the
season. His diaplaj’of chicken bones,

features of the exercises. June 8th

Walter Williams Acquitted.
We learned- yesterday from parties
passing through the city that Walter
Williams who has been on trial in
Decatur county superior court all this
week for a murder committed some
thirteen years ago, was acquitted of
the crime ) eaterday. Our readers are
doubtless familiar with the case, a
history of it having been published in
these columns only a few days ago.
Walter Williams has been confined in
the Thomas county jail lor the past
six monlbs and these who know him
truly g!ad that he is once more a
free man. It is said that when the
jury brought in its verdict, a most
affecting scene ensued. The wife and
sister of Williams shed tears of joy
over the release of husband and
brother. *
Hon. J. L. Hall Married.
The following special was sent from
Camilla to the Atlanta Journal:
Camilla, Ga., May 15, 1893
Yesterday Hen. J. L. Hall, one ot
Thomas county’s jiopular representa
tives in tbe general assembly, was
married to Miss Mattie Lou Cochran,
of this county. She is the daughter
of Hon. R. H. Cochran, Mitchell’s
representative in the legislature. It
is the same old story of Thomas
county drawing on Mitchell for wives
for her best young men. But you
know this county can beat the world
on splendid young women.
Mr. Hall is one of Thomas county’i
brightest and most prominent young
men and his many friends here will
join us in' wishing for him and his
fair young bride all possible happiness
and prosperity. . .
Freight Rates on Melons.
The traffic men, who were in session
iu Atlanta la-t week, did not accom
plish anything of special importance.
Something was done to extend the
field for watermelons, rates on melons
having been made to several more
points than the shippers had last year:
In the matter of green fruits an
agreement was made to put a liability
clauso in contracts where shippers pay
50 per cent additional freight. Where
fruit iB lost through gross negligence
the shippers put in his claim and it is
allowed, but there are times when the
roads comply with the contract, ice
at every p’ace named, send the cars
forward with dispatch aud carry out
their part, but the fruit is reported in
bad condition by the commission mc-r
chant. This may or may not be true.
Last year there was considerable wet
weather and fruit will not carry near
so well when it has ripened in rainy
weather as under a dry sky. Grapes,
peaches and other fruits may be
handled all right by the railroads and
yet arrive at destination in bad con-
dition. The companies do not want
to have to pay for such fruit.
Rates to the west are much lower
than to the east. Iemg cost less, too,
going, west than going east. The
west will be apt to get the choicest
fruit this year.
Another meeting of the rate com-
mittee will be held iu Louisville at
the Galt house early in June.

The Bicycle Race.
C<pt Whitakers race course was
the scene ot a lively race Tuesday
afternoou between some of the best bi*
cyclists of the place. Considering that
this was the first race, and that there
not a great deal of interest in rid
j here, the crowd present was a
large one. The following parties
entered for the race:
Ralph Jennings, \V. D. Barbee,
John Chisholm, J. H. Merrill, John
Vaughn, B. F. Hawkins and C. M.
Smith. As some of' these are old
riders and others little more than be
ginners, it was necessary to make it
handicap race, and the boys made a
spin around the track against time to
8h s ow their speed, that they might be
placed on an equality with their corn-
petitors. Ralph Jennings made the
best time and was handicapped 150
yards. Barbee came next and was
placed some twenty feet in advance of
Jennings, Chisholm was given a con
siderate distance start of Barbee,
Merrill only a short distance ahead
of Chisholm, Vaughn some 30 or 40
yards in advance ot Merrill, and Haw
kins and Smith, who made the slowest
time, were placed at the line. Judge
Hopkins gave the-signal to start and
off the boys went. They lairly went
flying, the crowd watching with intense
interest the fast moving wheelmen.
On the home stretch the boys buckled
down to it for all they were worth, and
the excitement of the spectators in
creased. Amid the yelling of the
crowd the line was crossed in the fol
lowing order: Barbee, Hawkins, Jen
nings, Merrill, Smith, Chisholm and
Vaughn.
An effort was made to get up
another race, but the boys not being
used to racing were too tired to go
into it again.
Barbee, the winner, rode a Keat
ing; Jennings, Hawkins and Smith,
Columbia; Merrill, Lovell; Vaughn,
Dunlap; Chisholm, Victor.
Another race will no doubt bear-
ranged for an early day.
The Melon Crop.
We quote. the following from the
News:
The uoanimous opinion of those who
have been all over the melon growing
section of the stale is to the effect that
the acreage is just about the .Same as
that of last year, but the v trop promises
to be better and melons larger. Very
few of the growers have planted as
many acres this season as last, but
there is a greater number of growers
which brings the' acreage up to about
the same as last year.- r All ot the
growers say that the crop will un
doubtedly be much finer and a greater
number of melons to tbe acre. More
fertilizers have been used than ever
before, and the lower part of the state
the vines are prolific with small melons.
In some placea-ihe, hard storm of last
Saturday week injured the cipp sight
ly, but not enough to make any mate
rial difference. The outlook-is that
the crop will begin moving from the
lower part of the s’a’.e about June *5,
and from then until the season is over
the railroads wilhbave about is much
as they can handle. In the past the
railroads and foreign commission mer
chants have reaped all of the profits
from the crop and the Georgia grower
has lost his melons, time and money.
This year, however, tho grower, will
know who he. is shipping his crop to
and what prices are to be paid for it
btfore it leaves his field, and as they
are all organized, they will stand by
one another in maintaining fair prices.
The total number of acres on tbe
roads in the state in round numbers
ate as follow: Savannah, Florida &
Western,-10,000; Savannah, Americus
& Montgomery, 400; Brunswick &
Western, 300, East Tennessee. Virgin
ia & Georgia, 500 Georgia Southern
& Florida, 5,600; Central and its
branches io,oco. These and tbe small
scattering patches overlooked, will
make the total number of acres plant
ed in the state for the foreign market
fully 30,000 acres, which on an average
of two acres to the car, means 15,000
cat loads of melons to be shipped from
this section. It is true that a few ot
the melons in the list compiled by the
Georgia Southern will be grown in
Florida, but there will be more than
enough grown iu Georgia for shipping
purposes and not included in the
above to offset them.
More About Young Hill’s Doings
Atlanta, May 17.—Circumstances
of a widely sensation nature are
cropping out in regard to the forgeries
of Harry Hill. Banker Tollison. who
holds several notes, claims that if they
are not paid at maturity, he will sue
Mrs. J, H. Porter, whose name', it is
claimed, war forged.
The police daim that they are in
possession ot proofs that Harry Hill
had two accomplices, one, a young
married woman known all over the
State, the other a well known Atlanta
broker.
The grand jury will immediately
indict Hill, and accomplices, top, if
sufficient proof can be had. The
receiver, who was appointed to wind
up the affairs of Hill’s concern will
soon finish his work. The Whisky
Company found that stock has already
been sold to Col. John W. Echols.
The hearing of the case is set for
Saturday, and sensational develop
ments are expected*, '
They Don’t Like It.
The bicyclist don’t like the ordi
nance introduced at the last meeting
of the council which, if passed, will
deprive them of riding on any of the
side walks in the city. The ordinance
has been read first aud second times
and will come up for fioal action ou
next Monday. It is as follows :
Be it ordained, that from and after
the passage ot this ordinance bv the
the city council of Thomasville, it shall
be unlawful lor any persou or persons
to ride bicycles on any of the public
side walks within the corporate limits
of the city. Any violations of the
same shall be punished as prescribed
in section one ol the general penal
ordinance.”
Now, the boys think this would
work a hardship on them. Many of
the streets ou’side of the business
portion of town arc unsuitable for
riding and as the side walks in these
parts are never crowded they cannot
see why they should not be allowed
to use them. Of course they will not
object to the law being applied to the
fire district. They realize that bicycles
on the side walks that are constantly
in use are a nuisance, and they think
the law now in force is ah that is nec
essary. Should the couucil pass the
ordinance as it now reads it will in a
large measure btop the use of wheels
in Thomasville, aud we hope they will
at least modify it.
that the ex confederates of Chicago
have just completed a beautiful mon
ument to the confederate dead in that
city. The monument is to be un
veiled an an early day. An appeal
has been made to Georgia and other
southern states for flowers to strew
on the graves of’ Dixie’s dead who
sleep beside lake Michigan. The
flowers should be packed in wooden
boxes with the tops slatted. The
Southern Express Company will carry
them free. All flowers from Georgia
should be sent so as to. reach Atlanta
not later than the 29th inst. Will
not the women of Thomasville send
some of onr wealth of flowers to be
placed on the graves of some of tbe
-six thousand southerners who died at
Camp Douglas, and whose bodies rest
in the soil of Illinois? There were
Georgia boys there, boys who never
came back to the old home in the
South. The bleak winds from lake
Michigan sweep across their humble
graves while the flowers are blooming
in their southland, tbe land for which
they died. Yes, Thomasville should
contribute her share of floral offerings
to those distant graves.
Mr. Keep, of New York, who
bought the valuable property on up
per Broad street opposite the Metho
dist parsonage, is stopping at Mrs.
Scott’s. He is arranging the plans
for the erection ot a handsome winter
residence on his lot.
the World’s fair with only ono week’s
absence from home. As this schedule
is via Thomasville the same figures
will apply here. This is how tbe
Press says it can be done:
“To the Savannahian who is only
to have a week’s recreation the fol
lowing summer the worlds fair is of
but little interest, as the impression is
that it requires a mouth or more to
see the fair thoroughly. No doubt
it does, but what can be done In a
week’s vacation with fast schedules is
wonderfhl. With leave of absence
for a week a persou can leave Sayan
nah and havo four days at the fair.
This is th3 way it is done: Leave
Savannah Sunday morning; arrive in
Chicago Monday evening; Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
can be put in seeing the sights; take
the train at the fair grounds Saturday
morning, lie-in Savannah Sunday
night, and at work Monday morning
—four whole days at the fair. Of
course “doing” the fair in four days
is not like taking a month, but, never
theless, in these fast schedule days the
fair, can be visited in a week with
pleasure and profit.”
Some of the boys are talking about
taking a tour through Florida on
their whee’s. About the first
Florida sand bank they strike will
turn them back.

As a rival of the Keely Cure, it is
said that the Hagey Institute, in
Montgomery, Ala., is a success. Many
have been cured there of the liquor,
opium and morphine habit. Few
people know how many people are
the victims of these habits. And
fair, but -frail woman, is not exempt
from them. We understand it
probable that a branch of the Hagey
Institute may be established in Thom
asville. Any institution which could
and would cure these habits would |
throve a Messing to humanity.

TAX NOTICE.
Two Hearts Made One.
Upon reaching his office yesterday
morning Jndge Alexander found a
couple waiting for him to marry
them. Of course they were of the
colored persuasion and were diked
out in their best bib and tucker.
The dusky bride was dressed in the
latest style, her white skirt, which
lacked about six inches of being long
enough, evidently had an overdose of
crinoline, for it stood out like an
open parachute, showing off to great
advantage a pair of number nine
feet. The groom was attired very
plainly with the exception of a flashy
red tie and snow white knit gloves.
The bride also showed her weakness
tor red by wearing a profusion of red
bows and a tall red feather in her
hat. After the ceremony, the usual
daloot” was bestowed upon the bride
by the groom, and tbe couple, hand
in hand, and utterly oblivious to the
attention they were attracting, re
paired to the nearest soda water foun
tain and jointly disposed ot a single
glass of the strawberry hued bever
age. Their happiness was complete.
