by the higher grades took place on
Friday night, June 9. Both were well
attended and were highly spoken of
by the patrons and friends of the
the old mcmbeis met in Justice Mar
tin’s office and-elected officers, with
the purpose in view ot co-operating
with the new supreme lodge which
has recently been organized in Indian
apolis with Nelson P. Libby as Su
preme Justice, for the purpoee of put:
ting the order in running shape again.
The propositions and explanations
offered by tbe Supreme . Sitting
seemed to be feasible and plausible^
and the local members felt very much
encouraged, so much so that they de
termined to organize and join the new
concern. They elected the following
officers and went home feeling as if
the “grand old order” was all O. K.
Chief Justice—A. F. Pre7att.
Vice Justice—Bi D. Ainsworth.
Cashier—J. J. Stephens.
Accountant—H B. Martin.

Medical Examiner—L. B. Bou-
chelle.
Trustees—John Spair, J. A. Hurst
and II. P. Doss.
But their hopes were shattered yes
terday morning, when Accountant
Martin exhibited another circular
which he had just received. This
circular was from Somerby, Supreme
Justice of tbe old order, aud stated
that he had beeu chosen Supreme
Justice of the new order which was to
continue the business, and advised all
the old members to seud their dues to
him. This put a new phase on the
situation. It seems that there are
two Supreme Sittings, one in Indian
apolis and one iu Philadelphia, each
one haviug its own officers and claim
ing to have the necessary authority to
continue the allairs of the old order.
A? a inatur of course the local mem
bvis will not join either of the orders

incuts, in the meantime keeping their
money in their pockets.

branch order. About twenty-three of J through by Mr. F. de Cardenas, the
* * ’ “ *' polite secretary of the company. The
first thing that attracted the atten*
turn of the reporter was the contented
and happy appearance and manner of
tbe operatives. They were busily en
gaged in twisting and rolling the fra
grant Havana tobacco into cigars,
keeping time to the deft movement of
their fingers with song and conversa
tion. This was carried on in Spanish
and of course we could not tell what
they were talking about, but the
facial expressions were such as to leave
no doubt bat that they were happy in
their work. The reporter remarked
about the happy appearance of the
operatives to Mr. de Cardenas, who
replied that they were almost the same
as one family, having come here to
gether from the same place in Cuba.
Feinting to the rules governing the
operatives of the factory, which were
conspicuously posted on the wall,
Mr. de Cardenas went on to explain
them (they were printed in Spanish)
to the reporter. One of these rules
struck ub very forcibly and went to
show that these people, whose ways
and customs we know so little of, have
high respect for themselves and
each other. This particular rule has
reference to the use of profane and
obscene language. No operative in
this factory can use indecent language
while in the factory and hold his posi
tion. They are immediately die*
charged on the first violation of this
law. Three meu have lost their posi
tions since the factory opened here
for disobeying these laws.
Another rule which Mr. de Car
denas called our attention to was one
making it obligatory upon each cigar
maker working in this factory to be
come a member of an association
which has been formed for the pur
pose of helping each other in case of
sickness or inability to work. When
any one of the workmen is sick the
others are assessed twenty-five cents
•cr day to take care of him. He
furnished a physician, medicine, nurse
aud everything necessary by the asso-
ciation. The association is officered as
follows:
Jose Leon, President.
Salvador Valdes, Secretary.
M. Corces, Treasurer.
There is one member oh the sick
list now and he is receiving every at
tention at the expense of the associa
tion.
The entire list of rules and regula
tions is good, but we think the two
above mentioned are to be commend
ed and are worthy of emulation by
American factories.
Banks and Bankers.
Cashier Culpepper, of the Citizms
Bank, attended the meeting of Geor
gia Bankers in Savannah yesterday.
The bankers were jjiven a banquet at
Tfrbee. Gentle reader, if yon have
not ‘‘been there,” you have a very
limited idea of a banquet at Tybee.
It is the bangineet banquet one ever
•aw. Savannah’s hospitality knows
no bounds. It Is free as the winds of
ooean which sweep over Tybeo and
seductive as artillery punch.
When so much it* bring said and
written about; finance, gold, silver,
bonds and greenbacks it is refreshing
to read the remarks of Hon. P. W.
Meldrim, in reply to the toast:
'The hanker, the trusted guardian
or the people’s money, the mainsta?
of every commercial interest”
Among other things the'gentleman
said:
“The contrast-between the banker
and the money changer is that the
one inspires confidence, sustains every
legitimate enterprise and stands
by tbe debtor as long as safe banking
will justify, the other constnually
croaks of bad times and worse coming,
whispers—and every whisper is a
sneer which stabs enterprise—that
no southern investment pays and
should not be invested in. The
banker always seeks to advance the
people, the money changer, sordid
and greedy, seeks only for personal
gain aid tries to crush others.
'It is fortunate,” continued Maj.
Meldrim, ,: at this time in Georgia’s
history that her bankers are conserv
ative without being timid and liberal
without being speculative. The re
sult is that Georgia’s people have con
fidence in her banks, and the banks
deserve it. To day tbe bankers hold
the weal or woe of Georgia in their
hands, and fortunate it is that her
destiny is controlled by men such as
compose this association.
Banks are made for the people, to
administer to their welfare. There
should be no distrust of either by the
other. The future is full of bright
ness. Glad earth is springing into
joy at the prospect of an abundant
harvest The people of Georgia have
learned a bard lesson in the school of
experience—the hardest school on
earth—and that lesson is to practice
personal economy, with the result that
Georgia is to-day one of the strongest
state# financially in the union.
•Let the bankers of Georgia,” said
Maj. Meldrim. in conclusion, “have
confidence in tbe resources of our
state, in the integrity of our people
and then will the people of Georgia
declare: ‘The bankers of Georgia
the trusted guardians of the people,
the safeguard of everything that at
tains to Georgia’s welfare.* ”
These are cheering words. And
just here it may be remarked that the
banks of Thomasville, sound, solid
and conservative, are among the
strongest and safest in the state.

The Exercises at the Opera
House Last Night.
Sandy Bottom Scorched.
There was quite a lively blaze down
on lower Jackson street about ball
past tour o’clock Sunday morning.
The flames had gained considerable
headway belcre they were discovered
and by the lime the department arrived
had extended to an adjoining building
to the one which first caught. The
fire started io the small wooden store
house belonging to Ben Small, and
consumed one little frame house below
belonging to Mallette & Blackshear,
and occupied by Jack Woodson as a
shoe shop, and two houses above
belonging to Deoais Fonder ind Bob
Mitchell. Each of these places were
occupied and contained a small stock
ol goods, which were entirely destroy
ed. The fire department was slow iff
getting to work, but when they did get
at it only a few minutes elapsed until
the fire was put out, not withstanding
the fact that small frame buildiDgs
adjoined the burning ones. The four
houses were completely destroyed
together with their contents. -They
were ail the property of colored people
except the ooa owned by Mallette &
Blackshear. The property, was un-
insurable, and the loss tails very heavh
ly on them.
A Young Bainbndge Orator.
The Bainbridge Democrat thus re
fers to the recitation ol Master Ralph
Graves, son of Mr, and Mrs. J.
Graves, at the commencement exer
cises of the Baiobridge Graded
School:
-The recitation ot Master Ralph
Graves was as well done as we ever
witnessed by othsr than a professional
and showed a conception of his lofty
theme and a mastery of his own per
sonality—as evinced in his every gest
ure and action—that was as surprising
in one so young as it was pleasing to
contemplate. Little Ralph is a born
orator, and with his studious habits
and bright mied will early take a high
position in his classes in college, and
later in real lile. [To Mrs. Hansell
Merrill, ol Thomasville, a lady oi ex
ceeding elocutionary talent, who gave
Ralph a lesson in hi, recitation daring
a one night’s visit there, Ralph is
largely indebted for his charming ren
dition of "Ben Hur.”].”
We are quite sure that Mrs. Merrill
will be glad to leant that her little
pupil of an hour acquitted himself with
such credit.

’-i-uMkd
Last Sunday morning was the oc
casion of the commencement sermon
of that well known and popular in
stitution of learning, Young Female
College. The day was a perfect one,
a trifle warm, perhaps, brat not
enough so to deter many from going
out to the Mathpdiat church to hear
the sermon. The large church build
ing, was filled to its utmost capacity
before the hour arrived for services
to commence. Shortly before eleven
o’clock President Baker entered, fol
lowed by the graduating class con
sisting of Misses Stella Hunt, Mattie
Chastain, Annie Roberts, Daisy
Dekle, OUie Horn and Nellie Pringle.
They were conducted to seats in tie
front part of the church. Shortly
after, the choir, composed of Mrs. L.
F. Thompson, Mrs. Julia Robison,
Miss Livie Pittman, Miss Fannie
Evans, Mr. C. H. Williams, Mr. T.
J. Ball and Mr. W. L. Ball, sang in
an* exquisite manner a voluntary.
Hymn 608 was announced by Mr.
Wynn, after the singing of which
Rev. Mr. Marion led in prayer.
The scriptural lessons, taken from
the 31st chapter of Proverbs and the
2nd chapter of Timothy, were read
by Mr. Wynn, which were followed
by the choir singing hymn No. 178.
Mr. Wynn took his texts from the
third chapter of 1st Peter and the
third chapter of 1st Timothy. His
remarks were addressed especially to
the young ladies, and were very ap
propriate to the time and occasion.
This sermon was’ out of the beaten
patli3 of commencement sermons,
which, as a rule, are little more thrn
a display of one’s rhetorical and elo
cutionary powers. It was more A
lecture to young ladies, couched in
plain and unmistakable language,
without any ot the customary dia-
He told the young ladies in an
earnest aud forcible way what were
the duties and responsibilities of tbe
life the threshold of which they had
just reached, and gave them much
good and wholesome advice, which, it
heeded, cannot but make them per?
feet women in the sight of God and
man. The discourse was delivered
in Mr. Wynn’s usual impressive style,
and he held the undivided attention
of the large congregation from begin
ning to end. It was one of the best
and most appropriate commencement
sermons ever delivered in Thomas
ville, and we have no doubt will bear
good fruit.
Rev. Mr. Parker made the conclud
ing prayer, and after the singing of
hymn 542, the benediction was pro
nounced and the congregation dis
persed.
GRADUATING EXERCISES.
To say that the opera house was
crowded last night is putting it alto
gether too mi’dly. There was not
standing room in the aisles much less
a vacant seat. And it was one of tbe
most brilliant audiences that ever
graced that or any other opera house.
Long before the curtain rolled up
the liouso was one solid mass of laugh
ing and talking humanity.
Thejprogramme was a lengthy one
and we regret that our limited space
precludes giving each one the notice
she merited. Below we give the pros

BENEDICTION.
The essays were all well written and
beautifully read.
The young ladies of the graduating
class were the recipients of numerous
and beautiful floral offerings.
The song by little Mbs Berta Coch
ran completely captivated the audi
ts The applause was so loud and
long that the little lady was obliged
to return and bow her acknowledg
ments.
The song, “Golden Love.” by Miss
AdaKuder, evoked much applause.
The audience was highly pleased and
an unsuccessful attempt was made to
bring her back.
The instrumental music was all
good and reflected credit upon Miss
Stegall, the accomplished principal of
the mussc department
The pantomimes and bubble drill,
also “Una’s Venture’’ and “La Barbe
Bleue” were, well rendered and weil
receive.

On tbe banks of the old Suwannee,
There stands a mansion old;
O’erlooking the beautiful river,
That artists have longed to behold.
And in this mansion so lovely,
Well hid in nature’s retreat;
Was raised as fair a damsel,
As it is one’s lot to meet.
Her hair is long and wavj ;
Sparkles from her eyes doth gleam,
Her teatnres are finely chislled;
As lovely as a poet’s dream.
Her complexion—it is snow-white,
Rivaling the lillies that blow-
Her cheeks are like the roses red,
She’s pure as the mountain snow.
What shall we call so fair a one,
So full of love and truth?
We’ll have to think of the sweetest name
And call ter gentle Ruth.
Ruth—the Suwannee River queen,
The fairest in the ring.
For her doth the flowers bloom,
And the birds of the forest sing.
When she walks across the meadow,
Plucking violets wet with dew;
The very sun iu Heaven stops.
And sheds his gleaming light anew
When she stands upon the tbreshhold.
Of her old Blount’s Ferry home;
There’s a radiant light about her,
Like the roseate blush of morn.
As a closing for this tribute,
This I only wish to say;
That she’s forever in my thoughts,
My dream, both night and day.
I would ask her while reading this,
If thoughts her heart doth swell;
To cast her memory back on one,
Who always loves her well.

Attention, Farmers.
As a means of encouraging that
generous rivalry which must result in
good, we ask the farmers of Thomas
to give us the largest yield per acre
in 1892, of the following crops: Cot
ton, corn, oats, peas, sweet potatoes,
Irish potatoes, sea island cotton, cab>

yield will be published and after all
the returns are in we will publish a
