There is no place within several m,las of town where one can take a swim. A Plucky Girl. An exhibition of pluck was witness ed by.those on lower Broad street in the vicinity of the railroad '\ Monday mor-ing,.which is rarely seen even in the person oi a grown man. Mr. Wm, the buggy, holding the reins. The became frightened and dashed ofi. The girl tagged at the reins with all her feeble strength, bat it was insuf ficient to check the animal, and he continued bis flight, getting Cuter all the while. Reaching the railroad the horse turned and went down the track at full speed. The £irl stiU held on to the reins, notwithstanding the bug. gy was bumping over the rails and cross ties'at a fearinl rate, threatening tocapsiiaall the time. Where the Smith Avenue crossing was reached the horse turned out into Paradise Park. He did not go much further before the bnggv struck a tree and he came to a stand atiU. The force of the lick caused by the buggy suddenly coming in contact with the tree, threw the little girl oat, but although some what hurt she was on her feet In an irfstant and had bold of the horse. Her escape from tenons Injury was indeed a narrow one. The extraordi nary amount of pluck dSp'ayed fay the little girl in holding on to the reins and trying to stop the bone all through her perilous ride, was very remarkable in one of her years. There isn't one man in ten who would haye stuck to >he animal as did this twelve year old girl. From now on «e will otter our Entire Stock ot Ladies, Misses and Children’s Slip pers, a'.so Gents’ low Shoes at tremendous Reductions. As Profit on them will not be considered, as CASE what we want. You can get a pair of slippers at any Price from us. Just try us and see if its so. Space will not allow us to mention our induce ments, but we ask you to call and see for yourselves. Mr. Ge*> W. Herring and wife and Mias Maggie 15 j wen left yesterday on the neon train for Seven Springs, N. C ', where they wi'l spend the remain der of the summer. The tables and chairs of the Cub&na City Cigar factory have been moved oat to Li Cubana. Work will be be gun out there as soon as a permit can be secured from the government. We are iudebted to a kind and al ways thoughtful lady *riend for some lovely flowers The memory of the kindness will las- long after the beautiful flowers have lost their sweet- Mr. Willis J. Parnoll Jr., of Pnila- delphia, arrived yesterday and will spend some time with relatives here. Willis reports the weather as being quite warm in the “City of brotherly love.” The Augusta Evening News pays our distinguished fdlaw citizen, Col. Lynes, the following handsome com pliment: Col. Lynes speaks French like a Parisian, and he certainly ought to get his consulship. He looks like Napoleon and is in manner a very Chesterfield. CLOTHING, Midsummer Clothing, Straw Hats, Neckwear and l T dTwear A Scared Community. Several cit'zens from over the river were in town yesterday. They report that Spencer, the negro deiperedo, is Still hiding about in that section of the c.mnty. He was seen there Sunday and has been heard of since that time. It is said that he is never with jut bis Winchester, even taking it with him to the table when he eats. Many of the citizens of that section are living in mortal tear of the negro, fact it is a seared community, Spencer has terrorized that whole neighborhood. Weare informed that there are maoy people over there who aro actually afraid to strike a match their house at night. When dark ness comes they get inside their houses and barricade the doors. Ho matter who seeks admittance after dark they don’t get it. It is true that Spencer is probably the meanest as well as the moet desperate man ever in the coun ty, but it looks ss if some means could be devised by which he could be captured or killed. We have no dqubt but that ii the sheriff w&s given the assistance of those people who live in the neighborhood and know the negro’s haunts he would get him. Hon. Ben E. Russell passejl through the city yesterday afternoon on route to W&ehiugtOD, where he goes to be present at the opening of congress the first part of Deal month. He was ac companied by his son, Mr; Albert Russell and Mr. Uhlie Williams. The latter holds a good position in interior department. will virtually be given away from now on. We must dis pose of all OUR Summer goods. Prices and profit will be YOURS. Cash must be OURS. You no doubt un derstand, “What’s Saved is Made,” and we propose to save you all the profit on our Summer Shoes, Clothing, Straw Hat-, etc. Now is your time to pur chase “PLUMS” at The Moultrie Banner care which was to have been heard yesterday by Judge Hansell was postponed until the 31st of August. Tliis was done on account of absent attorneys and wit nesses and by the cousent of all parties interested. In the meantime Mr, Millsap is still temporary receiver. It is not unlikely that the case will be settled without further litigatioo. THE PEABODY INSTITUTE A Very Good‘Attendance Yes terday. The attendance, at the Peabody In stitute yesterday morning was much larger than on the day previous, and the chances are it will be even larger today. We know that more ofloitr people will attend these exercises when they find oat how full of inter est and.-instruction they are. The teachers would be glad to have ss many as can torn out every day, The Institute met yesterday mom- Ing at 9:30 in the court house with Prof. Lane in the chair. Mrs; Head showed her manner pi enhancing the interest of small pupils in the reading lemon by means of pictorial illustrations. . ProtMoody delivered a practical lesson on “Person and Gender,” en larging upon the distinctions made in nouns personified, and in collective noons. ‘ Prof. Lane, in an attractive man ner, by means of illustrations on the board, developed the idea of "Dis Col. J. Colton Lvaes delivered very interesting and instructive lec ture to the colored people at the African Baptist church on Monday night. - There ws| a large crowd pres ent and the Colonel's remarks were eagerly listened to c At the conclu sion of the lecture the speaker was tendered a rising vote of thanks. On Friday NigUt. Prof. Chas Line has consented to deliver another one of his humorous lectures on Friday night at the court house. This lecture will be given for the benefit of the South Georgia' Col lege, and an admission fee of 25 cents will be charged. The subject of the lecture will be “Conversation,’’ which is said to be even more laughable than the one on laughter, delivered last week. Although he has been here less than two weeks, Professor Lane needs no introduction to our people. Those who have not beard him lecture have heard of him, and it goes without saying that he will have a packed house. Prof. Lane is the best humorous lecturer that has ever visited Thomasville. If he doesn’t make you laugh, it will be because you can’t, and not because you haven’t anything to laugh at. Make up your mind to go and have your buttons sewed on well and thorough- Prof. Frederick enlarged upon the subject of “Percentage,” by adopting its principles to the eolation of sums in-interest. ’ - Prof. Lynea gave a general review of the topical outtinea embraced in “Explorations and Discoveries.” Prof. Moody wrote npon the board the following sum, requesting the teachers'to bring up a solution to-day: A lady purchased two fans.' Upon one the merchant made 20 per. cent; upon the other he lost 20 per cent. His total loss was 2 cents. Whit did each fan cost the merchant? Prof. Lane gave the teachers the following sum: There were three girls carried eggs to town to sell. One carried 10, one 30,'and one 50. They sold their eggs at the same rates, and received the same amount. What were the ratea? To-morrow night there will be a concert in the South Georgia College, gotten up by the teachers. Friday night Prof. Lane will de liver his famous side splitting lecture on “Conversation” in the conrt house for the benefit of the South Georgia College- Admission 25 cents. TI1E COLORED INSTITUTE. The colored department of the Peabody Institute met at 9 o’clock, Rev. F. Snelson in the chair. After devotions, considerable time was spent in answering questions from the query box which proved very profitable to all. Miss L. C. Laney treated writing. Prof. Chas. Rice .talked on Eng lish Grammar—the sentence, its two principal elements and the object. Prof, J. N. Clay lectured on Geog raphy and Prof. F. Snelson Arithme- PEABODY PENCILINGS- Self-Constituted Reporters. Here is something from the Grand Rapids Leader that is so heartrend- How the Institute is Progress- ingly true that every paper in the coontry ought to publish it for the benefit of the community at large: - “In every community there are self-sacrificing patriots who lie awake of nights and neglect their business in the daytime studying up things that might begot into the newspaper with it fair prospect of hurting somebody’s feelings, breeding a disturbance, and getting (he editor licked. And when a person oi this class gels hold of an idea of the right sort- it intoxicates him. It immediately begins to ex pand, and gets bigger and bigger until he is bound to get rid of it. Then, if if a member of the press gang doesn’t happen along about that! time, the man with the idea; hunts him- opt. Usually his first greeting is: ’By the way! Why don ! t you go for so and so? Why don’t your paper pitch into this, that, or ,the other?’ You ought to give— 1 a’blast.’ tie. The body voted to have only one session a day, lasting from 9 o’clock m. to 1 o’clock p. m. Prof R. R. Wright talked on U. History very interestingly. The attendance of the Institute was very much larger to day than it was yesterday. The interest of thoee attendance is also increasing. iy- In our notice yesterday .morning stating that Henry Spencer. was still at large, bat that we thought if the people of the neighborhood who knew the negro’s baynts would assist the Sheriff that he could be captured, we probably did some ol. them injuss tics. We understand that there are several men living in the community who have not only shown a-willing ness to assist, but have devoted con siderable time to bunting for the negro, Our notice was not intended to reflect upon, the -courage - of these men. All we said was bused upon information furnished us by a citizen of the neighborhood in which the negro stays. - The Fastest Time. The fastest time ever made on the western division of the S. F. & W. Ry., was the ran irom Thomasville to Waycross made yesterday by Fast Mail No. 78, engine No. 12, in charge of engineer J. M. Smith and conduct or RB. Ballard. The run was made in two hoars and twenty nine minutes, including nine stops. The distance is 104 miles. Allowing twenty nine minutes for stops, the time made was fifty two - miles an hour. Several miles were made in fifty-five seconds. The writer was a passenger'nn the flying train, and this is the first time we ever saw telegraph poles look like a fine tooth comb. We were glad enough when the thing ’Tit” safely at the union depot.—Waycross Herald. fei J:. W&r.- men.were mentioned, Mr. McLendon thinks the- impression might go Out that he made a third party speech. Our informant said nothing about the character, of the speech except the compliments paid - Mr. McLendon. Mr. McLeqdon informs the reporter that on the occasion he did not make any third 'party speech.'. It was not intended to convey the impression in the notice of the meeting that Mr. McLendon made a third party speech, and', we take pleasure in publishinp the gentleman’s statement that he die sot make such a speech. Another Burned Trestle. We learned yesterday from a rail road man that another attempt was made Monday to wreck a passenger train on the S. F. & W. Railroad by burning a trestle. When No. 78, which leaves here about two o’clock, reached the Aiapaha river between Naylor and Stockton the bridge over lagoon near the river was fonnd to be on fire. The engineer saw the fire in time to stop his train. The bridge had not been burning long and it was put out, but not, however, un til sufficient damage had been done to delay the train some four or five hours. It seems that the bridge burner is determined to get in some of bis work in this section. In noticing the meeting ot the County Alliance at Bold Spring last week, we said {hat Mr. Ben McLqp- don made a speech, and that the speech was highly spoken of by those who heard it.. As two other speakers, .. . ___ “tt fo be pronounced third party this moruin g r"He"wM Barney White. The Atlanta Herald oi yesterday says: J. W. Hawkins, sheriff of Sewanee county, Florida, reached here this morning with Barney White, the con victed slayer of old man Larkin Nix, of Mitchell county, whom he tamed over to the principal keeper of the penitentiary. A Herald Qiao talked a few minutes lying on a cot in a cell at the police a'ation and looked weak and sick. He said lie had nothing to do with the lynching, and expected to be pardoned in test thin sixty days. Sheriff Hawkins received the $aoo offered for White’s arrest. >ulh The Times-Entebprise job office is the best equip] Georgia. We this feature ofi anlee satisfactioi us before placin] “And theri-he poumiuto the willing ear of the victim a complaint that ii expected to petrify him. e Sometimes it is about the suspected dishonesty of a public official; sometimes the al leged rascality of a busiueea competi tor, often R is the condition of a street or gutter in his .neighborhood, or the obstruction of a sidewalk; or a pile of rubbish in somebody’s back yard; or a neighbor’s bad children or the predatory chickens. Or it may be an eXhorbitant gas bill which he has beenobligedto pay, and he thinks the company ought to be denounced as a band of thieves; or a street ear driver has been insolent, and he would invoke the power of the press against the' grasping monopoly that hires such men. — “Almost always it is a personal grievance he seeks to have redressed. But if it is modestly suggested to him that it might be better if he would see the tether of the bad children per sonally, or complain directly to the owner of the chickens instead of mak ing the matter public, he will flout the.euggestion.with scorn. What is a newspaper for? he will think if he doesn’t ask out loud, and he will he very apt to let it be known that he regards the press of the town with the utmost contempt—as too much afraid hurting somebody’s feeling—too much afraid of losing a subscriber or advertisement. “On the morrow when the man looks into the paper and sees no al lusion whatever to the chickens, the chilnren, the rubbish in the back yard, the obstruction to the sidewalk anything else he posted the repor ter about, he raises his voice and abuses that paper sorely. But he never thinks of writing out his com munication and publishing it over his signature. He wouldn't do such a thing for a hundred doilan.” ing—What Was Done Yesterday. A Church Row. Several days ago we mentioned the tact that a split had bccured among the members oi Jack Carter’s church, and also the fact that Jack had been deposed from his position ss paitor of the church and W. B. Wilson put in his place. It seems that Jack, will not sit idly by and see himself fired ont of bis own church. Those who thought he wonld little know the make up of the man. There is an interesting time' ahead, and if Jack’s opposers are not careful he will down ’em in the end. Jack has sought the intervention oi the courts to atraigbtea out raattors, but in the meantime he proposes to have some revenge out of his enemies. Accordingly he swore out warrants against Sam Young and Wm. McCay. charging them with dis turbing religious worship. The; were arrested and put under bond. Their trial will come off before judge Alex ander this afternoon and some racy developments are expected. For St; Simons. The last excursion of the sdason for St. Simons will leave here , next Thursday morning, August 3rd, at o’clock. It will be in charge of that veteran-excursion manager, Mr. T. J. Bottoms, which is a guarantee that all who go on it will be treated well. The fare is very low, only. 32ffiO for the roun-l trip and the hotels on the Island have made a special rate for parties going on this train. The of tickets aro. good for ten days and we have no doubt many of our peo- See pie will avail themselves of this last opportunity to .visit the. seashore. Keep Your Money at Home- Why is it that some people prefer purchasing their goods elsewhere to patronizing their home merchants? Some even go so far as to bay what is absolutely necessary on'credit from the home merchants and save their cash to spend elsewhere. Such a policy is ruinous to the city and must needs recoil to a greater and lese extent npon those who pursue it Money that is spent in other cities is gone beyond recall. Mcney spent with yonr home merchants remain in circulation, pays-rent, pays clerk hire, pays taxes and grocery bills, helps the banks and pays the parson.” Tho above, taken from the Macon Evening News, applies with equal force to Thomasville. Our merch ants should always have the prefer ence, when anything is to be bought. They live here, their money is freely spent here, and they are 'trying to build up the town and country. Even if there ia a small amount to be gained which is rarily the case in sending off for anything, it is a mistake to purine that coarse.' Keep your money at It helps everybody. It is unpatriotic and selfish to patronize those whose interests are not identi fied with Thomasville. Patronize home merchants. Yesterday was the -third day of the second week of the Peabody Institute in Thomasyiile. ' The attendance yes terday was somewhat larger than on the-day previous, but yet'the- house was anything else but crowded.. There are a number of teachers train abroad in attendance, and from how on it isexpected that the number will increase. Ir is also thought that more of the citizens of the town will attend since the institute is being held in the court house, which is far more acces sible than the college building, where it was held last week, _We are con fident if they knew W interesting and instructive the exercises are that the house wonld be crowded daily. The Institute opened yesterday morning ' at nine o’clock with Prof. Lane in the chair. Mrs. Hehd showed how to teach drawing to 1 children, and advanced some most excellent ideas and methods on this fide. Miss Barnes, ol Thomasville, by request, lectured on the same subject, and added many interesting methods ot teachiog designs. Miss Barnes is one of the moet successful teachers of small children in South Georgia, and her remarks were highly *appreciated by the teachers. Froi. Lane’s lecture on Geography, in whioh ho demonstrated the Jtest way of teachpg “Physical Geogra phy,” deeply interested those- who heard it- * ~ - > Prof. Moody lectured oni “Case,” explaining the regular rules, and the various exceptions.' £rof. Frederick showed by practi cal examples how to teach “Problems in Interest” and “Bank Discount.” Prof. Lynes gave topical outlines whose elaboration would show the his tory of “The Aborigines.” The question box was then opened, and the answers elicited much discus sion and considerable amusement. To-night there will be a concert at the South Georgia College, to which all are invited. - THE COLOBED INSTITUTE. The colored teachers attending the Peabody Institute take a degree of ioterestin the exercises that is very commendable and worthy of em ulation by the white teachers. The attendance was very fair yesterday* The Institute opened at the usual hour ot meeting and after devotions the chair gave time for queries. Miss L. 0. Laney then talked very interestingly of writing. Prof. Chas. Rice next talked on English grammar—parts of speech. . After singing Prof. J. N. Clay lec tured on Geography—agriculture and manufactures. , - IJrof. Chas. Lane lectured moet in structively on Geography. After recess Prof. F. Snelson lec tured on arithmetic. Prof. R. R. Wright next talked of U. S. History—the revolution. CHASTAIN CULLINGS. A Plan Suggested for Capturing ifliP-’Henry Specer. Times-Enteepkise: j . . We are laving some hot and dry dayB. . * Fodder polling has commenced and will be the order of the day lor some time to come. ‘ _• We have heard no -reliable news lately from the outlaw, Henry Spen cer. Several parties were frightened on account of. the discharge oi fire arms in the.backwoods Monday, and various rumors were afloat for a day or two, bat the shots turned out to be a false alarm. Mias Cunningham has aflourisbing school at tho Dixon school boose, though some of-the little folks are looking and expecting the outlaw to jump from behind every tree and grab them. It is hard on the. little ones to be in dread all the time. We would be glad to have the opportunity of telling the little fellows that he was safely locked up where he could not hurt them. We would suggest that the Sheriff take every able-bodied man in this neighborhood who knows the woods and roads, black and white, and Burround a certain territory jtnd then come together, in the day time. First find where his paramour is and put her and a certain young white man under guard. However, we are pot the officers and will not presume to dictate. We know that it is easy talking but not quite so easy doing. There is danger ahead when the at tack is made unless you get the drop on-him. We thiuk it is folly to try and make him surrender. . We hope he will be pot out of the way without any loss of life, for Henry Spencor is a bad negro. XXX. A RAILROAD DEAL. The Florida Central and Penin sular Company Sold for $13,000,000. The following special is from the Constitution: Ocala, Fla., July 26.—Railroad men arrived here to-day from San ford, the headquarters of the Sooth Florida railroad, reports the sale of the entire system of the Florida Cen tral and Peninsular Railroad.

It.il one of the best schools that they can attend, besides the lectures are deeply interesting. The session yesterday was very well attended, the number, present being largely in excess of any day during the week. The cilizsns are just fiuding ont how instructive and entertaining the lectures are: As ’ an evidence of the interest with which the professors are listened to we will quote the remarks of a young lady when asked It she did not find the court house Very warm. Her reply was, “Not at all; the lectures are so in teresting that I do not notice the he at. When we consider that the mercury was dancing about in' the top of the tube at the time alluded to, the com- pliment paid the lecturers by the young lady is a very high one indeed. We have no doubt that from now on the Institute will be well attended The Institute opened yesterday at 9:30 a. m„ Prof. A. Q. Moody pre siding. Mrs. Head delivered a very inter esting lecture upon the manner of teaching children the art of “Design ing.” Prof. Moody consumed 30 minutes in lecturing upon "The Properties of Verbs,” explaining particu’ariy the peculiarities of the subjective mode. “The Earth upon Which we Mova was the *hpmc of Prof. Lane, nod he handled the subject in a simple, bnt very forcible manner..
