Interesting Items Picked Up All Over the Country and Care fully Prepared and Serv ed to Our Readers. There is more building going on in Thcmisvillc now than there has been at anyone time iu five years, l’he town is on a reglar building boom. The indications are that the bottom will drop out ot the movement of melons from this sec-ion text week. It looks like ths crop wan'd p~*ter out pre ty soon. We are indebted to Mr. A. F. Prevatt, one of the cleverest fellows out of jail, for the finest and largest melon seen this season. Sandy, we are yours truly. We understand that the misde meanor cases sent down from the superior court at its lost t-eesiou to the county court for trial will be called up on the second Wednuday iu July. Parlies and si;ne sses had belter be on hand at that time. * .kS&b £ X! : We are informed that the Corces Cigar Cotnpauy are receiving orders daily from different parts of the coun try lor their famous brand of cigars, ‘•Jefferson.’’ There are no better cigars manufactured than the Jeffer sun and * hen once introduc'd they always tx-c-nuc popular.

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 $emi r.uuual dividend of three and a half per cent, wa- declared. This is uo doubt very Citizens Banking and Trust Company* In another oolnmn will be found the statement of the above w$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.

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. Moonlight Picnic. Qjt e a Lumber of ycung people spent Friday .acuv.u o i the banks of the Oehlorkojiec ur.d enjoyed one ol REVOKE.

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 been fortunate in having a teacher so uf the Confederate re ninghatn will be a tab- ‘.ifnl women from the ex- Siates.

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 literary address before the teachers ot Colquitt county at Moultrie last week. The address is yery highly spoken of by all who heard it The Moultrie Banner, in noticing the occasion, pays oar fellow-townsman a handsome compliment on his eloquent and scholarly address. The following card under the head of “Personal” appears m the last issue of the Boston World: The statement in the last Issue of the Thomasville Review to the effect that 1 would assume editorial charge of that paper, was a mistake. ^ C.R.

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 on or address T. J.

A number have responded to the previous requests, hut the com- mtaiocer has not yet secured suffi cient accommodations for the large number of teachers that will attend. ■ -V\'• J. Real Estate Sale. E. M. MaUette has told the B.ack shear strawberry farm to John M. Shackleford, formerly of New York. Mr. Shackleford will move hi.-* family south and icside pcrraaueutly on his new purchase. Mr. H. K. Shackleford, who is the father of the above named gentleman, with his family,will also live on tbe same place. Mr. H.K. Shackleford has written 50,000 pages for fhc story pa pers of the country and he will con tinue hid literary pursuits while en joying the delights of farm life. These gentlemen are to lie congratu lated upon securing so desirable a sonthern home, and we condially wel come them to citizenship. 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.
