* A Dividend.
The directors of the Bank of
Thomasville met in .the office of Pres
ident E. M. Smith yesterday morning
and declared their usual semi annual
dividend of three'and a half per cent.
To-day the cashier, Mr. B. H.
Wright, will be busy mailing checks
to each stockholder to the amount
-of his or her dividend. Thus quite a
large sum will be turned loose by the
Bank of Thomasville. It is a sale,,
solid and conservative bank. And
the tame may be said of bath the
other banks in Ihomasville. They
have ample capital, are exceptionally
well officered, and are doing a safe
business. Thomasville is, and has a
right to be, proud of the solid condi
tion of her banks. While always
ready to extend acc 'n«modatiou3 on
all proper occasions, they do no wi’d
cat business.
In this connect! m it is proper to
add that the business of the town is in
safe and solid hands. The merchants
are accommodating, but cautious.
They have not over-stocked, and are
steering near the shore. There is a
general feeling of confidence all
around. And this is big capital
itself.
Themasvi le is all right.
A Dividend Declared.
At the meeting of the Board of
Directors of the Thomasville National
Bank yoterday, the usual $emi r.uuual
dividend of three and a half per cent,
wa- declared. This is uo doubt very
Citizens Banking and Trust

In another oolnmn will be found
the statement of the above w$ll known
banking institution, which will apeak
for itself. The semi-annual meeting
of the board of directors was heldyes-
terday morning, and after going OTer
the affairs of the bank the' board, in
stead of declaring adividend, passed
up about four and a half per cent of
undivided profit* to the surplus fund.
This is a moat creditable showing,
and speaks well for the manner in
which the business of the bank has
been managed. This bank has on’y
been in business about two yean, a
comparatively' short time, and not
withstanding the panicky condition of
the financial world and the universal
lack of confidence on the part of the
people in all banking institutions, it
has enjoyed a paying business from
the 8tart and made a good interest on
the money invested. It is one of the
solid, substantial institutions of the
town, and under the management of
such capable, e’ear headed business
men as Vice-President Reid and
Cashier Culpepper will continue to
prosper. Read the statement else

Cheap Rates to St. Simons.
Mr. T. J. Bottoms informs us that
he has secured a low ralo to St.
moas lot July the 10th. No special
tr.dn will be run, but the tickets will
be good for ten days. Parties wish
ing to take advantage of this low rate
to take a few daysoff and get a breath
of sail air will thke the regular pas
senger train, N». 78, which leaves
here on Monday, the 10th of July,
at two oYI.ck. A special train will
take tin m from Way cross to Bruns
wick, and they will arrive at St.
rimons at 7:45 o’clock the same even
ing. The tare lor the round trip will
be only 83 35. This wilt hff .rd our
peop u a splendid opportunity to take
a dip iu the sea and^enjoy a few day’s
rest at small cost. We Know that
a good crowd will take advantage of
ti e ' •* rates to go dowi.
A Third Party Shadow.
Mr. J. W. Dixou, writing to the
Bain bridge Globe, says:
“Thinking that you would like to
hear from old Thomas, I wi’l just
state that ’ the people’s party is not
dead, but alive and progressive. We
are making converts every day by
distributing reform literature.”
The third party made a desperate
effort last year to disrupt the demo
cratic party in Thomas county.
From the small showing they made at
the polls then, it wil require a great
many converts to put them on a fight
ing plane in the next campaign. It is
not likely' that auy great number of
accessions will be mudo to the third
party; on the contrary many who were
decoyed away lrom the democratic
party will return to their friends in
the next election. They have been
fooled once, and they will not be
fooled again. As the ‘‘reform litera
ture” which is referred to, and which
it is said is being distributed, if it ia
better than the average literature
of the thirl party, no great harm will
result from its distribution. The
democrats of Thomas county will take
of themselves.

Commissioner Maclean went down
to Metcalfe yesterday to cake a talk
to the school of Mr. Fondien Mitchell,
which closed there yesterday after
noon. The closing exercises were
held last night. Mr. Mitchell has
been conducting one of the largest
and most successful schools that has
ever been held in Metcalfe. Not
withstanding the fact that he is young
in years, he is one of the b&t instruc
tors in the county, as all his pupils
and patrons will testify. Metcalfe has

on thf occasion referred to.
A great many ot our people shipped
windfall pears. Borne of them have
received returns. One party received
instead of a check, three of the pears
he shipped, which were returned by
mail by the commission merchant,
The peara were black in color and all
shriveled up. Accompanying the
pears was the following message.
“There is no - demand here for such
pe.tra as these.” The shipper, after
oeen lonunaie m naving e. wacner so 1(K)king a t the dried,up worthless
competent and painstaking in their | fruit, .congratulated himself that he
did not have tbe express to pay.
Stop It!
While it is but natural that fruit
growers should try to realize the last
cent for their products, the custom of
shipping storm pears, and we may
add, other green fruit to market, is a
serious mistake. If the thing is kept
up those who are trying to raise good
fruit, and to ship it at the right time,
and in good shape, might as well qnit
the business.
Referring to shipment of storm
pears from Lowndes, the Valdosta
Times says:
The commission men of New York
•I B-i'timore, who recently received
the shipments of windfall pears from
South G**>rgia, write back that if tuty
such fruit were delivered, the
h • ftUer* would confiscate the
t* lot and dump it into the hun-
iRtirfg of the harbor. Oue prom-
. oust* advises that if such a sup-
f pears be sent again, it would
the market for &U future time.
The Magazine of the Future.
The July Cosmopolitan will mark
the most radical step .ever taken m
periodical literature. With that issue
the magazine, unchanged in form, in
bet, one of the best numbers of the
Cosmopolitan ever issued, will be put
oe sjQe at twelye and one-half cents
per copy—$1,50 a year. The cutting
in half of a price already deemed low
for an illustrated magazine is the result
of an intention already formed, to give
to tbe public an iUustrated monthly
of the highest class at such a price as
must bring it within reach of all per
sons of intellectual tastes, however
limited their incomes. There are
more than ten million readers in the
United States and less than eight hun
dred thousand magazines are printed
to snpply their demands. More than
four years have been spent in reach
ing the organization necessary for the
production of The Cosmopolitan at
this price, a figure hitherto underamed
of by the reading world. Each depart
ment of the work has been slovly per
fected, until with the January number
of this year one hundred and fifty
thousand copies of the magazine were
prepared upon presses and machinery
of the most improved form, built with
a view to producing ibe finest results
at the very minimum of expense—the
only establishment in the world, it is
believed, devoted exclusively to the
printing of an illustrated monthly mag
azine. To establish a magazine upon ;
such a basis at the outset was impos
sible. Only the rapid growth of the
Cosmopolitan’s editions, almost un
precedented in magazine records, has
produced the conditions which make
this departure from established prices
possible. The Cosmopolitan promises
to make the year 1893 the most brill
iant in its history. No other year has
seen such an array of distinguished
names as will appear on its title page
during 1893. De Maupassant, Mark
Twain, Georgs Ebers, Valdez, Spiel-
hagen, Francois Coppee, Flammarion,
and Paul Heise, ane some of the au
thors whose work will appear for the
first time during this year in the pages
of The Cosmopolitan. Among the
artists whose work will decorate its
pages for the first time during 1893
are Laurens, Tonssaint, Virge, Roche*
grosse and Schwab. William Dean
Howells will be a regular contributor
during 1893-94. A feature of the July
number will be tripple frontispieces
by Rochegrosse and Guillonnet.
A Realism.
•Detroit Tree Pini.
‘At last we are alone!’
The wbman trembled and lifted her
eyes to his face.
They were beautiful eyes; but they
were tremendous; eyes which looked
out from a heart which is irresolute,
fearful.
The echoes brought back In their
invisible arms' the sound, and let it
ripple out again until it struck. the
walls once more, and fell into the vast
void of silence.
A bat, disturbed by the usual ac
tivity, darted from a corner and blind
ly dashed in eecentric convolutions
about the dusty building.
Great ropes of cobwebs bung down
from, the ceiling, and across the cor
ner of the room dead flies swunglight-
ly in the hammock the spiders had
fastened there.
The dust rose in listless clouds from
the shock of the heavy footfall, and
sank again, overcome by its own
inertia.
Even the air was rearing.
Tbe spirit of the desolation seemed
to pervade the place.
The woman looked furtively around
upon her dim surroundings and
shivered.
The man laughed harshly.
‘Alone, I said,’ he growled.
‘Yes,’ she murmured.
A faint H£ht struggled in through
the great window in front thick with
dust.
‘Where are wef she whispered and
shivered as the bat dashed info her
hair.
•Listen,’ he replied hoasely, ‘we are
in a store which docs not advertise.’
A Sad Case.
Attention, Farmers,
u means of encouraging that
generous rivalry which must result in
good, wc ask the farmers of Thomas
to give us the largest yield per acre
in 1892, of the following crops: Cot-
corn, oats, jieas, sweet potatoes,
Irish potatoes, sea island cotton, cab*
bages, ground peas, syrup and tobac
The name o! the grower and the
yield will be published and after all
the returns are in we will publish a
consolidated lict. Such information
will do the country good.
Movement oi Melons.
Melon shipments up to date are
considerably in advance of the same
time last year,' bat the chances are
that shipments will drop off very
much this week. It ia not likely that
this year’s crop will be anything like
as large as last year’s. Tliis time last
year the season was just in its prime
while now it is on the decline. Prices
are very low everywhere. One gen
tleman got returns yesterday from
two cars shipped north saveral days
ago. Oue car did not bring enough
to pay freight and the otker only
netted a few cents over a dollar. Un
less prices improve shipments will
soon cease, r.s present prices will not
pay the expense of loadiug. Borne
thing like a thousand cars were
shipped iast week, but this week will
fall far riiort of that number, while
next week will bo still shorter. It is
thought that by the fifteenth almost
if not quite the full crop will be
marketed. There were shipped last
Saturday, June 1st, 116 cars; June
1st, 1892, 54; total up to date includ
ing June 1st, 1893, 2,362; same date,
1892, 2,112. It will be seen from the
above figures that 250 more cars have
been shipped this year than last.
Capt. Ham mo ld brought before
the commissioners at their meeting
Monday morning the condition of
Mrs. Scoggins, who is confined in the
county jail on a writ of lunacy. It is a
hardship upon this old woman to be
thus confined. She is very old and
rapidly nearing the other shore. True,
she is demented, but not at nil danger
ous, in fact is entirely helpless. She
should be given better accommoda
tions the few days that remain to her.
Jailor SingUtary docs a’l in h;s power
to make the unfortutaro woman com
fortable, but there is no suitable place
at the jail in which to cor fine her.
She is kept in the main corridor, in
full view of all the other prisoners, the
only place upon which she may lie
down being upon a mattress kindly
provided by the Sieriff, which is laid
upon the floor. The commissioners,
we are glad to know, will erdeavor to
have her placed in the county poor
house and properly taken care of. It
is indeed a sad case, one which has
excited the sympathies of all who have
become acquainted w.th the facts.
Mr, Joseph P. Smith delivered a

The address is yery highly spoken of

Torn Bottom’s low rate trip to St.
Simons, which wi 1 be iu effect next
Monday, will doubtless be well pat
ronized. The trip can be made and
ten days spent on the idand at very
reasonable rates. The fare for the
round trip is only $3 35 and tickets
are good tor ten days. Parties going
from Thomasville will take the fast
mail at two o’clock next Monday.
Extra coaches will be placed on this
train for the accommodation of the
excursionists and there will be
change of cars, as a special will take
these cars at Way cross and carry them
through to Brunswick. The arriving
time at St. Simons is 7:45 p. m,
The hotels at St. Simons have made
a very low rate for those who go on
this train. For any information call

Another Editor Robbed—Joe Carter
The Victim. 1
It was with a heart bowed down
with deep sorrow and eyes
suffused with- tears that we re
cently wrote an account of a brother
editor, Mr. Sam Felder, of the
Camilla Clarion, bemg robbed in the
dark still hours of the night ot the
accumulation of years of honest toil;
the amount taken being in silver dol
lars to the number of eight. The
blow was not lightened by the fact
that India had just repudiated the
whi.e metal, and that one ot those
dollars, supposing Sam to be in
London, would not buy more than
fifty-eight cents worth of any com
modity from the “blareted” Britishers.
The case was a peculiarly sad one.
sober, steady, iudustrions, ’the young
man, by strict economy had laid up
this sum for a rainy day; when, at
one tell swoop hu fortuuc disap
peared iu a night. He rose next
morning dollarless.
His case is but little, if any, worse
than that of Joe Carter’s, of tko At
lanta Herald. Now, ihe boys will re
member who were on the trip how
Joe got away with jhat crisp fried
spring chicken cooked to a turn at a
breakfast Uouec in Missouri, the last
stopping place made before
reaching Kansas city, on the editorial
excursion out west iu 1890.
You may break, you may shatter,
whatever you will, but the fragrance
of that fried chicken hai
ter still. From what hu have said,
the reader will not be surprised to
learn that. Mr. Curler keeps 11 Well
filled coop of chicken3 some where on
his premises. By some means, known
ouiy to the craft, Mr. Carter filled
his coop recently with young sprieg
chicken*; just trying size, you know.
He doted on these chickcus us they
frolicked aud fattened in Lis hack
yard, and watched their development
with the eye of a connoisseur. The
sligh'oat distuibar.ee iu the back yard
would hurry him out there to see that
the spring chickens were ail right.
But, a’as, one night, while a gentle
rain was falling, and the moon was
obscured by an unfriendly cloud, a
son of Ethiopio. one whoso olfactory
organs could detect a coop ol chick-
through a brick wal ! , silently
entered and meandered off with the
coop, chickens' and all. The man
and brother knew how, when aud
where to raise chickens. No incu
bator for him We are very sure
that the entire press o! the s:ate wi‘l
deeply sympathize with Mr. Carter.
