BUBCII, Thomasville, Ga. 5 6 d&w tf The Demorcst Contest. There was a very large and' inter* eatei audience at the Methodist church on Thursday evening to wit ness the temperance exercises and Demorcst contest. A number of these entertainments have been given in Thomasville and they * have etch and til proved very interesting and entertaining. A banner hung just over the rostrum bearing this motto : “For God and Home and Native Land.” The exercises were commenced with a beautiful song by the choir, which was followed by prayer by Rev. Mr. Wynn, who also made an inter esting talk and read some statistics showing the enormity and iniquity of the liquor traffic. After the singing of another song, a very cordial welcome was extended the congregation by a class of little girls. The first speaker in the coutest was Mr. Homer Williams, who acquitted himself well. “Boys of America,” by Mr H-r»oe Bouchelle, came next. One of the most interesting leatures of the evening was by a class of little ones known as the “Best Class. The vocal solo by Mis* Norma Bike was a gem. Miss Bike has a remark ably sweet voice and rendered her selection fauhlenly. Three other speeches followed by Messrs. Walter. Craigmiles, John Watkins and Walter Williams. Each of *hfse yoUDg men delivered their orations iu good style. “Save the Boys,” a vocal aolo, by Miss Madie Dekle, was charmingly rendered. Mirs Dekle eiug well. The two last t*|e-ecbtv followed Mi*a Dt klt* song. They were by Ht»sra Chart. J'iumuu aud John 'legal!. The 1*11* r, as he alway* !•*-*, acquitted himself with credit. Hi* delivery and articulation is re* markable for one of his years. A murmur of approval went over the whole audience when the judges, Mr. E. M. Mallette, Capt. Tom Lake and Mr. D. Elias, awarded him the medal. Mr. Mallette, in a few very clever and happy remarks, prerouted the medal to the successful young man, who received it gracefully. While the judges were making up their decision Miss Grade Jenkins entertained the congregation with a splendidly rendered reritation, “Some body's Mother.” Another song was sung, the benediction was pronounced ami the congregation dispersed. Dr. Bouchelle, who was master ceremonies, announced just before the benediction was pronounced that in one month from that date a gold medal contest would b* held. None will be admitted to contest for this medal but those who have won silver medals. Mrs. Elizabeth Brown Was born Dec. a6 h, 1813 probably in Montgomery county Ga. and was first married to Massey, who lived but a short time. She was mar ried to S. Willard Brown, Sept as, 842, aud they settled io I.eon county Fla. She had but one child, the writer of this notice. She died June 30th, 1893, from a sudden attack of asthma. She died at my home in Leon county Fla. My mother was good, Christian woman. She was and had been a- member of the M. E. church for sixty years or more, and while no, demonstrative, was a pure, practical, religious Christian. If she had any faults I never found them out. If she had ac enemy he has not made it known. But too pure for earth she has gone to the Mansion of Light and there awaits our coming. May we all meet htr “over there.” Her son, Geo. T. Brown. Their Condition and Obtlook for -Hie Present Year. Jumped Through a Window. We noticed a few days ago the departure of Mr. J. A. Hurst for Bir mingham with a negro prisoner * horn he arrested here last Sunday. The negro was an escaped convict, and there was a reward of $50 for his de livery to the proper parties in Binning ham. Mr. Hurst left with bis man on the late train Wednesday. In Mont gomery, while waiting for the L. & N. train to leave, the negro owned up to Mr. Hurst that he was the right man. All along the trip he was very quiet and obedient and gave Mr. Hurst no trouble at all. When the train was within about fifty miles of Birmingham, a railroad detective entered the car and commenced to converse with Mr. Hurst, while the latter was thus en gaged, and while the train was skim ming along at the rate of thirty miles an heur, the negro suddenly darted across the a'sle and went through an open window head first. By the time the train was stopped and backed back to the place the negro was out of sight. There was no sign of him ex cept the hole he made in the dirt where he struck and an empty pocket book which dropped out of his pocket. Mr. Burst did not make any further effort to catch him, but took the next train home, arriving here yesterday afternoon. He is out about thirty-five dollars by the negro's escape. We take^tbe following interesting article from the. Macon Telegraph of the 12thinst: ~ * A gentleman who returned to the city yesterday frora’atnp.over nearly Ihe whole of qouihr (^r'sjia ' says 'the farmers are in ‘ better condition this year than he has ever known them to be, _ The crops now maturing, he says, have been made with a less ex penditure than at any time since the war, and whatever is- made will be clear profit The hard times last year and the disinclination of the merchant*'to fur nish credit forced the farmers to live at home and itake their own supplies; This enabled them to come somewhat ahead, and profiting this year‘ by the experience of last year they have made their crops without running into debt, and buying for cash only such articles as were absolutely necessary. Not only this, but their barns and smoke houses $re full and they have meat aud corn to sell. For the first time in twenty-five years the farmers are actually inde pendent. They have all they need at home aud are not in debt to the mer chants. At every small town in south Geor gia the merchants report that they have sold less meat, corn and hay this year than in any year since' the war, and what they have sold is chiefly to turpentiue and mill men. In many counties the farmers have bought uo meat at all. Instead, they are selling meat and corn to the mer chants, a most unusual state of affairs. Corn and meat are to be had iu large quantities iu the wire grass, and the merchants instead of selling these articles to the farmers are buying from them and shipping to Savannah. There is -plenty of corn to be had at 50 cents a bushel One merchant who so’d seventy* three boxes of meat last year said ho had only sold one this year, and other merchant* were found with meat in stock which they cou-d not dispose of. At Cairo, down in southwest Geor gia, the farmers seemed to be particu larly well situated, having plenty at home and buying nothing. In Worth county it was asserted that the far- had not bought a pound of meat this year, and they bad 5,000 bushels of corn to sell. The consequence of this happy state of affairs is that the farmers are not worrying their minds about the financial situation, as the people in the cities ore doing. One farmer. sized np the situation pretty well when he said: “I have fat horses and mules, fat cows, fat hog* and plenty of corn in the barn. owe nobody, and I don’t care a con tinental if every bank in creation bursts.” JACKSON STREET, NEWS DEPOT.

Another Attempt, omc one is evidently determined to wreck passenger train No. 6, leav. ing here just after dark every night. Another attempt was made Thursday night, which makes the third effort within a week. Cross-ties were placed on the track on the trestle in (root of Mr. Blackshear's place, the same as the night before. The engine struck Ihe ties, but was not derailed. These attempts are getting to be entirely too frequent. There is no due as to the would-be wrecker. There seems to be a split among the members of Jack, Cartel's church.

Two trestles were burned between this place, and Boston on Saturday night, and it was by mere chance that train Was not wrecked iu cohse- authorities of the 'raj attempts that bare been made to wreck trains on this road.. Three at tempts were mads .last week on bridge, within the city limits to wreck pamenger truns by placing cross tire on tie trade. The railroad people Were at aloes to know who, it was that harbored such.ill ieeiihg toward them, as to seek revenge in this man ner, and the matter was a pohrre of no little annoyance and alarjp to them. True, none of these attempts were in any way successful, but that WHtbe fault ot the poor judgment of,the tendance. wonld-be wrecker. It is , plain that his intentions were of the most mur- This is the way the farmers see things now. The result is that they aro not so set upon the idea of free cuinage of silver for which they were so clamorous a year ago. and the Populists even have quit demtndiog that the government put up ware houses and advance money on their products. They even say in some counties that Mr Watson need not extend his lecturing tour in that di rection, as they arc no longer interest ed in his doctrines. These reports were a! made by a reliable man who is well acquainted with the territory of which ho speaks. That the farmera of Georgia would have meat and corn to sell in mid summer would not have been believed two years ago. That such things have come to pass is undoubtedly true, howerer, as Ibis report only corroborates previous reports of the same character. It is even said that money is easier among the farmers than in the cities and the financial stringency which has almost paralyzed commercial interests of the whole country is hardly felt by them. If this bo true their condition is indeed a happy one. With good crops this year the Geor gia farmer will be in a position to be envied. With poor crops even he will be better off than io mauy pre vious years, when his crops hardly sufficed to pay the merchante for sup- plies secured at time prices, and he was often compelled to throw in his moles and farming implements with the crop. Mr. Albert Mounseer Dead. Mr. Albert Monnaeer died at bis home in this city on Thursday evens ing after an illness of several weeks. Thu death u a peculiarly sad one. Mr. Mounseer was about 3d years of sge, and up to a few weeks ago was the very picture of heiUtb. He was probably ihe finest specimen of physical manhood in this section of the country. Tall, heavy set and very muscular, he was almost a giant. His trouble waa inflammation of the bowels. Only about two weeks ago his wife died. Within the brief space of a few weeks husband and wife have both passed away, leaving none but the aged and infirm parents of Mr. Mounseer, to whom the deceased was the only means of support Daring a residence in this city of some ten yean Mr. Mounseer won the respect and esteem of all who knew him and was regarded as an honest upright aud industrious citizen. The aged father aDd mother of the deceased have the sympathy of the entire oatm inanity In their great loss. Tho funeral services were held yes terday afternoon at the house by Rev.

The Peabody and Connty Institutes which are held jointly here this week, were organized yesterday afternoon. It waa the intention of State School Commisrioner Bradwell to organize yesterday morning, bat oa account of the delayed trains many ot the teach- ere failed to arrive and the opening was postponed until four o’clock In the afternoon. The counties of Decatur, Brooks and Colquitt are bolding their annual institutes here in conjunction with the Peabody and Thomas county. The Decatur and Colquitt teachers ar rived yesterday, but it was late last sight before the Brooks county teach ers got in, they being delayed at the Commisrioner Bradwell and many other noted educator! are here in at- derous character, and the railroad determined if possible to prevent any further'attempts in this direction. Accordingly detectives were put on the case and every bridge in the neighborhood of the place where tbe attempts bad been made was guarded and watched by one or more men every night. - • Just as the peopK were beginning to feel secure agcun, tbe fiend-tranw ferred tbe scene , of his operations some right or nine miles east of here, and on Saturday night applied the torch to two trestlee, one of which was one of the most important be tween this place and Boston. This one waa over the Aucilia creek. Theothet waa some distance the other side and was comparatively a small one. It is thought that the large one was fired first, as the fire had made greater headway on it when discovered. The first known of the burning was about six o'clock Sunday morning when tbe night passenger from Sa vannah, No. 5, made tbe discovery. The train ran on to the first trestle before tbe engineer discovered that it was on fire. It hadjdoriunately, not been burned very badly and the train passed over safely. This, coupled with the previous attempts made to wreck the traio, which no doubt flashed to bis mind once, excited the fears of the en gineer and he ran very slowly and cautiously from there on, and when the second burning bridge came in right he had no difficulty in stopping his train in time to prevent it from going on to the burning bridge. The wires were immediately put to work and soon the railroad people were making arrangements to transfer pas sengers snd mail. This was rendered extremely difficult on account of the creek and the low lands surrounding it. The wagons had to go around a distance of several miles. Eassengera and mail that should have reached here at 6:30 did not get here until near the middle of the day. . Work was at once commenced to rebuild the bridge and aeon upwards of 200 hands were at .work. Super intendent Fleming was . wired in Sa vannah and in a few hours he was on the scene. Tbe work was kept going all Sunday night and aB day yester day. Every train had to bn transferred until late yesterday afternoon when the fait mail was enabled to cross. The railroad is to be complimented on the . manner in which they hnve handled the business under three ad circumstances. They have worked hard to repair the damage and in the meantime have dispatched (heir business with as little delay and inconvenience as possible. The rail road people are very much wrought np by these repeated attempts to wreck trains, thus endangering their lives, and if the guilty party is caught not unlikely that he will be roughly bandied. AgBESTED ON SISTICION. Sheriff Don, ex-sheriff Hurst and Marshal Hight, of Boston, went to the wreck Sunday and caught on to certain circumstances that pointed to a negro living -in Boeton and he waa arrested and locked np. Promptly at four o’clock yesterday afternoon Commissioner Bradwell opened the combined Institutes.* The exercisre were opened with prayer by Prof. Baker, after which a beautiful instrumental piece was ren dered by Miss Mamie Thompson. Mayor Hopkins, on behalf of the citizens made a short address of wel come. He waa followed by Prof. Baker in behalf of the teachera of tbe town. These addresses were very appro priately responded to by Professors Lytita, Moody and Fredrick, mem bers of the faculty. Commissioner Bradwell, who pre sides over the Institute, theu made quite a lengthy and ia'ere.tiog talk, settiog forth the object of these Insti tutes and outlining what was to be done here during the sessions. Capt. Bradwell is a plain, but forcible and interesting laiker, and he impressed all very favorably. At the conc'usion ot his remarks ho adjourned the scs- sion until this morning at nine o'clock. Two sessions will be held daily. The morning session will be from nine until twelve, the afternoon from 1 four until ha't past five. The public are dordially invited to attend. • THE COLORED IN8TITU1E. The colored department of the Peabody Institute was called to order at 3 o’clock p. ui. in Ciay slreeet school house After prayer by Rev. S. S. Broad- ix, Couuty School Commissioner . T. Mac'ean was introduced, who made the address of welcome in the place of Mayor H. IV. Hopkins, who was detained on important business. A response, in behalf ot Decatur connty, was made by J. R. Hutto and in behalf ot Brooks by J. C. McCraw. Alter singing, “Reap What We Have Sown,’’ the State School Com mission spoke to tbe teachers about tho object of the Iostitutc and gave other very good advice, and appointed Prof. R. R. Wright, chairman, and Rev. F. Sneteon, secretary. The Institute then discussed some matter* pertaining to general business and adjourned to meet at the 1 A.

Somerby, of Phila- deipbia, Who is al the head of the new order, will seek at once to incorporate it in Pennsylvania, having failed to do so in Maryland or Massachusetls. In any event, the order proposes to resume under the laws of Indianapo lis. Meanwhile an attempt will be made to oust Somerby.
