At ihc meeting of the County Insti
tute here on Saturday last, the ques
tion of whether the teachers should
attend the Peabody Normal Institute
at Thomasville this year, or hold a
County Institute as was done last year,
was submitted, and the Peabody Insti
tute was almost unanimously voted
for by the teachers present. So the
teachers of Decatur county will attend
the Peabody Normal Institute this
year—which will open about the 10th
of July.—Bainbridge Democrat.

with the promising crop prospects of

A Friend
Attention, Farmers.
As a means of encouragiug that
generous rivalry which must result in
good, we ask the farmers of Thomas
to give us the largest yield per acre
iu 1802, of the following crops: Cot
ton, corn, oaja, peas, sweet potatoes,
Irish potatoes, sea island cotton, cab*,
bages, ground peas, syrup and tobac
co. The name ol Ihe grower and the
yield will be published and after all
the returns are in we will publish a
consolidated list. Such information
will do the country good.
lie ThorsiasvJio correspondent of
News writes a, follows to that
paper :
Thontasvilie is t-j ba greatly congrat
ulated on her financial and material
condition. All of her banks have
comfortable sums of cash in their
vaults and a good credit in the finan
cial centers, which credit has been very
little drawn upon. These banks are
able lo accommodate all legitimate
demands of trade or development
and the money market here might be
said to be easy. Not a single Thom
asville merchant is thought to be shaky.
The whole community has the appear
ance of prosperity and plenty. Trade
is good, work is p'entiful, numerous
buildings arc going up, various enter
prises are cither in progress or lo be
established, and no one here acts like
the couutiy may be on the eve ot a
financial panic. The drummers, who
are good judges, say Thomasvi 'e is in
better cond t: on ban any city in the
country.
The Thomas County Teacher’s In

paper on the same subject, but was
excused.
On grammar, only a very short
paper was read by MissBcu’a Turner,
and Prof. Moody stated that the
chairman excused him. Several of
the teacher’s offered seutencej or
words to be parsed. Col. Lynes wrote

was something new for young gram
marians. It wa§ parsed* however, to
the satisfaction of all.

tical use.
History, being the last on the syl
labus, in tho absence of Mbs Fannie
Watkins, was left ,to Col. Lynes.
Col. Lynes showed how to use the
Mnemonic system ca was begun at

and sure to interest and attract the
attention of pupils. His subject

The M. Corces "Cigar Company.
Tho stockholders of the M. Corces
Cigar Company held a meeting in
the office of the Thomasville
Banking .and Exchange ’“Comphoy
last Saturday aad elected the follow
ing bear! of directors: J.MeC.

The board then elected the follow
ing officers:
President—J. McC. Tbarin.
Vice-President—D. I. McIntyre;
Superintendent—M. Corces.
Secretary—F. de Cardenas.
This company are the manufacturers
of tho famous Jefferson cigars, which
iiave a world wide reputation. They
are made ol the purest Havana tobac
co, by tho most experienced Cuban
workmen, and have no superiors any
where. Mr. Corces, prior to . the
passage of tho McKinley tariff law,
manufactured in Cuba and sold to
this country over four million of these
cigaryear. After th$ passage
of this law his sales were cut down to
five hundred thousand. This great
dropping off was caused by the heavy
taxes imposed by the McKinley tariff,
under which it cost $4.50 per pound
to import cigars into this country,
while the leaf tobacco can be brought
here at 35 ccutr. This, of course,
necessitated bis moving bis factory
to America, and he came to Thomas*
ville. Tho Corces company own the
excusive right to manufacture these
cigars iu the United States. The
company have ample capital to carry
ou the business on a large tcale and
they start out under most favorable
auspices. The president a»*d vice-
president are business men of estab
lished imputation and kuown to all
our citizens and the business world.
Mr. Corces, the superintendent, is a
Cuban, and has been engaged in the
manufacture of these cigars for niauy
years in Havana. He is a very
cleyor gentleman and understands his
business thoroughly. Mr. de Carde
nas, the bseretary, is also a native of
ihe “Queen of the Antilles,” but is
e-dy well known to the most ol

TWO SISTERS DROWNED.
A Sad Accident Brings Sorrow
to a Picnic Near Whigham.
Cairo, Ga., May 28. — News
reached hero this morning of the
drowning of two sisters, daughters of
the late Capt. Jones, of near Whig-
ham. The girls were 8 and 15 years
of age, respectively. They were wiih
a crowd of picnickers at the Ochloek*
once river, and late in the afternoon
the children were wading in tho rivtr.
The younger sister got out beyond hi r
depth. The elder one went to her
rescue, but both wero carried out by
the swift current, and went down into
a watery grave. Seines were pro
cured, and all night long faithful
hands tried in vain to find them.

When lo! a cry goes all tbe rounds,
The bicycle craze has struck4he town.’
Tho merchant man has taken a hand,
Likewiso the chap who tills the land,
To be in the ring comes the Legislator
Closely followed by the speculator,
No matter if the times «re tight,
With taxes sure as death in sight
Get oue of the best and be in the swim,
Pay a hundred and fifty that’s no sin.
The ladies too hare learned the mount.-
A fall now and then, that doesn’t count.
And oltcn when the day is fine
The streets about with wheels do shine,
With case and grace they speed away
Like a Derby race on a holiday.
This “Bicycle craze,” you may call it so,
But horses and cars, they’ve got to go.
Aa to the wheel you intend to buy,
There’s many Huad and many a why.

There you’ll see the Columbia nuke,
With “Elliptical eear” and “Fnction break.”
The popular Victor, best of geariDg,
Finest of steel and all ball bearings.
For fcftr of offense we must not fail
To mention the Rambler, Eagle and the
New Mail,
With a host of others equally as good
We’d all enjoy riding it we could,

The South’s Funeral.
To day the remains of Jefferson
Davis, tbe most conspicuous character
who took part in the great war be
tween the states, will start from New
Orleans to Richmond, Va., where
they will bo permanently buried. It
will bo a long funeral procession, pass
ing through half a dozen states.
Heads, sprinkled with gray, will be
uncovered; men who followed tho
South’s great leader will line the long
tracks of rail, 'to pay tribute to
the dead. Fair women will gather
at the stopping places, and place
ilowers on the casket of the exsPrcai-
dent of tho Southern Confederacy.
Little children, who havo learned tho
story of tho great struggle will join
the throngs. It will be tho last public
tribute to Jefferson Davis. Butin
all this there will be no disloyalty
to tho government of the United
►States. We are one people, and
must ho remain. No true Southern
man would have it otherwise. We
claim, aad justly, too, the right to pay
homage to the men who, like pillars
of fire, led the forlorn hope of the
Confederacy through four years of
terrible war. Surely we may do
this without being subjected to bitter
aud unjust criticism.
Referring to the occasion the Sa-
