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. Depu'y Sheriff Win. G ‘dwin re ceived a telegram yesterday afternoon from the sher ll of Lomas county, to the efl'.ct that D: N chols, colored, wauled here, had been arrested. r. Frank Godwin went down to Thoroasvilfr* last night, and returned 0:40 ^this morning with his man. 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.— Albany Herald. Dr. Nichols duped a number o f !ored people here before he was ar rested. lie claim ;d to be able to put “speH” upon a- y one that would protect them ur.d-r ar.y circumstai. While under his »»:gic 1: fluer.ee it d be im >o siblt* for the c >urts to convict any one. They were free from ali danger tie was one of those hoodoo” doctors, and when arrested had his “coijurc” bag on and a pocket full of roots and herbs. Mail Route Changed. Commencing on the. first duy < f June the mode of carrying the mails 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 Patten and the carrier. It will likely bo made s > :ia to leave here an bon later than it does now s » that mail coming in on No. 5 in the mornings cm get of the same day. This change will uo doubt m ike the service much better and more satisfactory to the citizens of Moultrie and McDoonald. A Burglary. The saloon cf Mr. Kulioch, on Jack- son street, was burglarized Friday night for the second time in six weeks. The burglar entered through the rear window, making an opening by smash ing the glass and window frame and breaking out one of the iron bars. Mr. Bulloch cannot tell just how much was stolen, lie missed five boxes of cigars, two gold watches, what money was left iu the till and some whiskey. Ther^ is no clue to who committed the crime. The police are at work on the case/' Govantes, Leal & Co. The above named firm, cigar man ufacturer?, have leased the Thompson build ng on Jackson street, just below Madison, and will carry on their business there. They will commence work Monday morning with a good force of hands. Mr. Govantes was one of the first manufacturers to come to Thomasville and he has made many friends during his stay, who will be glad to learn that he has at last secured suitable quarters and will remain here permanently. We regret to learn that Mr. Wm. Davit 1 , keeper of the poor house, iff lying at the point of death. He has been confined to bis b?d for the past six months. GEORGIA PRESS ASSOCIATION MACON’S CHARMING HOS PITALITY. 'WesleyanFemale College—A Bid© Down The Georgia Southern and 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. & F road. Cordele, Tifton, CycloueU 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. White Springs, Fla , our destina tion, was reached at 6 o’clock, ilei the party found a cordial we 1 cum irom Proprietor King, of the priori pal hotel there.

John TempJi Graves was the attract ion at th< ihatauqua at night, in one of his beat lectures. Many went to hear him. hall, just across from the hotel, followed after the lecture. This was attended by the belles and beaux of 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,” as its waters rolled on to the sea watching the moonbeams playin among the giant oaks, whoso great outstretched limbs were draped in moss; catching, now and then, a rip ple of silvery laughter from across the way, while myriads of stais peeped down through the rich tropical foliage from a cloudless sky, winking at lovers, as they strolled—oblivious to 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 ers,” at its meeting in 1893. Mira Stella Laird is in trouble. She has been for the past three years pofetm : 6tress at LaGrange. Her father was her deputy and handled the funds of the office. The old man has run away with a big lot of Uncle Sam’s money, leaving his daughter to face the trouble. Shameful l 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 tle children were very entertaining as 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. The program was as follows: Prayer. Song. j Dialogue—A Safe Word, “No.”— Arthur Chastain, Willie Hamblctoh, Willie Parker, Willie Tullis, Chas. Balfour, John Winn, James William?, Jerry Drake and Robt. Applewhite. Song—“Havo Courage, My Boy, to Say No.” -r Recitation—Licensed to Sell—Mira Lucy Parker. Dialogue—The House Upon the Rock—Misses Retta Williams and Lucy Lester. Song.

Little Will’s Speech by John Mont gomery. All of these little fellows took their parts well, showing that they had been carefully trained. ’ Special men tion shou’d b.‘ made- of the splendid manner in which tho recitations of Misses Grace Jenkins, Lucy Parker and Deiia Smith were rendered. The Cairo Institute. The Cairo Institute, which lias beeu under the direction of Prof. T. H. Parker for the past ten months, closes its present term to-day. The dignified and genteel plain upon i'hich Prof. Parker has conducted im&di during his stay among u- s , has rou the respect and ealcem of all.

Not many teachers who ate spent u lifetime iu the school now better what to do in cases of mergene-.y, or at any other time than dots he.

Referred to the monied men of Thomua\ i”e. 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. Simons, father aud mother, and Mr. Conrad J.
