E. 0. THOMPSON,
AT ARTESIAN WELL,
l.e ordinance of baptism was ad-
s : r <1 to quite a number of
>ns at the Baptist church on
reday night. The meetings that
j been going on there for several
have accomplished much good
and havQ awakened a livelier pnterest
spiritual affairs among tho church
in hers. Rev. Mr. Parker is an
nest and indefatigable worker in
the Master’s vineyard, and we are
glad to know that his labors are be-
Towutd with success.
immnsville bicyclists are having
j very interesting races down
there. Why cannot Albany wheel*
get together and show the neigh
boring cities what bicycle racing is,
anyhow ?—Albany Herald.
That’s right, come down and let’s
have a race between the two towns,
Thoniasville has some very good
wheelmen and we leel sure they could
at least interest tho Artesian City
boys.
We referred to the exceptionally
tine roads and drives in Massachusetts
yesterday, and tried to show that this
a most important question in
Thomasville. On the same line the
News thus refers to the roads around
a live North Carolina town:
a. new item that should interest
everybody, in country or town, is the
following: “Every road leading ont
of Raleigh, N. C., with one exception,
has been graded and nicely macadam
ized for several miles. A business
gentleman estimates the gain to the
city from truck alone at from $10,000
to $15,000 per annum.” What has
been done iu this instance can be
done in other cases. If a few miles
of good roads are worth $15,000 a
year to Raleigh, the same number of
miles of good roads would be worth
as much to any and every town and
city in Georgia. It cannot be diss
puted that bad roads are deadeners
to business, and that the effect of good
roads is just the reverse; yet it,is the
hardest matter in the world to per
suade people to give road building
the attention it deserves. <
Cotton Mills.
No paper in the South is better
pcsted on the subject of cotton mills
in the South than the Augusta Chron
icle. Referring to the subject, the
Chronic’e says:
The success of Southern cotton mills
is forcing .itself on the attention of
the. country, and wc published last
week the statement of a New England
manufacturing expert that he could
take a well equipped print mill in the
South and turn goods which he could
lay down in Boston cheaper than any
New England “mill could do. The
advantage of manufacturing the staple
in cloi-e proximity to tho fields has
ceased to be a matter of speculation,
and the next decade will find many
New England Manufacturing plants
transferred to Georgia and Garolinas.
Good management is the secret to sue
cess iu manufacturing, and it stands
to reason that all thirg* being equal
in equipment the mill situated by the
side of the growing cotton has a great
advantage over one which has to pay
freight on hau’ing the raw material a
thousand miles.
There is ample capital in Thomas-
ville to establish a cotton mill. Every
bale of cotton raised io Thomas coun
ty, and rcucii besides, should bo tnan-
ufactund here. In this mild climate
there \v.»u!d be no shutting down, no
stoppage, bat the spindles would do
their work from January to January.
The South must, sooner or later,
manufacture her own cotton. Eveiy-
thing points to it. With the spring
ing into existence of our new manu
facturing suburb, La Cubana City,
let the movement be inaugurated to
establish a cotton factory there. Its
projectors would no doubt make valu
able concessions to such a plant
A Fake Doctor Comes to. Grief.

ill be remembered by the readers
of the Herald that, about s»x months
ago, Nichols sold a medicine, a lot of
worthless roots and herbs to some of
credulous colored populace of the
city, cheated them out of considerable
money, and then skipped. The offi-
cers have been after him ever since,
but he has heretofore eluded tlu.ni.—

Mail Route Changed.
Commencing on the. first duy < f

between this ptoca and points iu Col
quitt county will be changed. It' is
cariied by carrier, but after the
date above mentioned, ail mails for
Moultrie, McDonald and Dot will go
by rail via l’idcock and tho Boston
and Albany railroad. The mail for
Patten will still go by carrier, the
schedule for the some being arranged
by the postmasters at this place and

A Burglary.
The saloon cf Mr. Kulioch, on Jack-

night for the second time in six weeks.
The burglar entered through the rear
window, making an opening by smash

breaking out one of the iron bars. Mr.
Bulloch cannot tell just how much

glad to learn that he has at last secured
suitable quarters and will remain
here permanently.

MACON’S CHARMING HOS
PITALITY.
'WesleyanFemale College—A Bid©

Florida Railroad—White Springs
—Pleasant Memories.
The twenty-fifth annual meeting
of the Georgia Press Association was
held in Macon ou Monday. The
attendance was large. From the
mountains to tho seaboard, from cities,
towus and villages, the newspaper
men came from their desks to meet
aud mingle in their annual reunion,
it was good to be there. Macon
opsued wide her hospitable doors to
the men of the fourth estate. A
magnificent banquet was spread on
Monday night at the Lanier. The
peeches were timely, appropriate and
eloquent. Wit aud wiue flowed. A
number of ladies graced the festal
board with their presence.
During the afternoon, by invitation
of Dr Bass, president of Wes'eyan
Female College, the association visited
that venerable institution. Iu the
maiti parlor3 were found a bevy of
southern gir’s, whose sparkling eyes
and winsome ways fairly captivated
every member of the profession.
Some excellent music, both instru
mental and vocal, was rendered l»y
young lady pupils for the edification
ot the visitors. After this the party
was shown through the college. Tho
writer was charmingly chaperoned by
two bright Thomasville girls. The
art department showed some beautiful
specimens of painting and crayon work
Away up on the last floor, overlook
ing the Central City, were found the
society rooms. The room of the
Adclpheatt society is a perfect gem.
It is handsomely furnished, and in
the most exquisite taste. It was easy
to see that the fair and artistic hand
woman had given the finishing
touches to the home of this popular
society.
Ou Tuesday morning, thanks to
the thoughtfulness of Major Glessuer
the gang, armed with passes, boarded
the train for a trip down the G. S. &

the latter being the location oi the
model farm established by the n ad,
aud many other growing towus were
passed. A few years ago this vast
of pine forests stood majestic
solitude. The shriek of an
engine had never broken its stillness
and the sound of the axe had rarely
been heard. Now all is changed
Splendid passenger trains, with all
the modern equipments, together with
long freight traius, rush through the
fast disappearing forests. It was a
matter of regret that the party could
not stop at Valdosta, one ol the com
ing cities oi South Georgia.

the neighborhood nud many visitors.
There is a peculiar softness, super
inducing a kind of pleasput languor
about Florida atmosphere. Is it the
name or Florida, the imagination, or
I, this delicious feeling and
sensation ? Certainly it is lelt and
experienced no where more than at
the White Springs. Seated on the
long piazza of the hotel, .in hearing ol
the soft murmur of the “Suwannee,”

outstretched limbs were draped in
moss; catching, now and then, a rip

way, while myriads of stais peeped
down through the rich tropical foliage

all the world—Along sequestered
paths, half hidden by ferns and llow
ers, made a picture which will not
soon be forgotten.
Many of the party stayed over
next day to enjoy the baths, fishing,
and the many attractions of this de
lightful resort.
Very pleasant memories will long
linger about the place where the
Georgia Press Association spent 1
short outing, in the “Land O’ Flow

Against Intemperance.
The Baptist Snnday-school enter
tained a large congiegation at the
Baptist church Sunday eveuing with
some exercises against intemperance.
The church was crowded to its utmost
capacity, and the exercises of the lit

well as instructive. Superintendent
B. W. Stone takes a deep interest in
his school and its flourishing condi
tion is no doubt very gratifying to
him.

Died.
Mr. Rudolph F. Simon, who has
been confined to his room with con
sumption for the past few months,
died Sunday morning at four o'clock
at his residence in this city.
Mr. Simon moved to Thomasviile
several years ago from New York.
His health'was delicate and ho came
hero on account of the mildness of
the climate. He was fof a long time a
member of tho firm of Schmidt, Mur
ray & Simon, but declining .health
made it necessary for him to with
draw from the firm aud lead a less
active life. He improved somewhat
after giving up business, but the
disease had a strong hold upon him,
and some mouths ago he was con
fined to his room, where he was forced
to remain until death claimed him.
Mr. Simon was thirty-one years of
je. During his residence in Thom-
ville he made many warm friends
by his genial disposition and gentle
manly deportment, who will join with
with us iu sympathy for the bereaved
fe and parents. During his last
hours he was surrounded by his loved
ones. His devoted wifo and loving
parents ministered to his every want.
The funeral services were held at
the residence yesterday morning, Rev.
Mr. Wynn conducting the same, after
which the remains were taken to the
depot aqd, accompanied by the be
reaved widow aud Mr. and Mrs J. R.

and a half years ot age. He served
ie Florida war*of 1836 to 1840
and also iu the late civil war. He
married twice and leaves fivo

children to mourn his death. At the
