Obituary. •; •
On the 18th of July,.1893, Joseph
H. Griffin, at the residence of his
mother, Mrs. M. E Griffin, five and
a h Jf miles north of Thomasville,
died ol congestion of the. brain and
bowels. He was rick just eight days.
He wai taken at Jennings, Fla.,, with
what he thought was a light billions'
attack, but realizing that none but a
mother can charm away pain he came
borne the fnnrth 'day alter he was
taken, never realizing he was danger
ously tH a when suddenly, despite skill
ful medical aid, his symptoms changed,
he grew wone, and in a few hoars oar
loving son and.brother wasdsad.
Oh! what a terrible blow it was; how
oar hearts were wrong with anguish,
iu we saw his dear life ebbing away
and knew that as dearly as we loved
him; as willtng'as we would be to give
oar own Eves fat his,. there was
nothing we could do. Oh! how utter,
ly helpless we ML God alooe in Ms
infinite . wisdom knows why he was
taken. It seems so strange to os that
a life which had been snch a comfost
and blissing to all with whom It came
in contact, and one which promised
to much usefulluess and success
should be so shortly ended. Truly,
"death loves a shining mark.”
Joe was 34 years, 7 months and 11
days old. He joined Fredonia Baptist
church when he was 33. where his
membership remained only a short
time. He was quiet in his disposition
and perhaps a little reserved in his
manner toward strangers, bat his
gentle, tweet, expression and thought
ful consideration for others always
•nn for him friends It may be truly
said that those who knew him best
had the highest estimate of his Chris
tian character. In the home circle
he was all that a dutilnl son and a
loving, unstlfish brother could be,
ever ready to assume any responsibil
ity that devolved upon him. There
are left three brothers, four sisters and
a loving and devoted mother and
others who were very near and dear
to him who will miss his sweet voice
and gertle presence from our to'dit,
but while our hearts are bruised and
bleeding, we bow io bumble submiss
ion to the will of the Master, believing
that “lrs docih all things well.” .
-‘We shall miss a thousand times,
Aloaglife’s weary traek;
Not a sorrow or a joy but we shall
'Long to call thee hack,

Montgomery Folsom is rusticating
at Indian Springs. Writing to the
Atlanta Journal from that place, he
says: ‘ The venerable Judge A. H.

of the Georgia Bar association, came

Tho Savannah Press says;
M. B. Lane, the vice-president oi
the Citizens Bank in Savannah, has
attracted the notice of the state and
rendered valuable service by compil
ing statistics from the statements of

is enough money in the banka to pay
for the probable receipts and have
two or three million* free for other

In anticipation of the dpmand for

The concert at the South Georgia
College Chapel, on Monday night,
proved, as every one predicted, a moat
gratifying success from beginning to
end. It .would be n difficult matter
to find better amateur talent any
where. And they had a most ap
preciative audience. Many oi the
performers were recipients of round
after round of applause. And they
richly deserved- thia recognition, for
the entertainment, as a whole, was
Itr above the average of amateur
performances. Where all did so well
won'd be invidious to draw com
parisons, so we content ourselves with
giving the programme of the evening
as it was carried out.

A PLEA FOR HORSES.
The Check Rein Condemned.
Mr. W. B. Wells, of Atlanta, makes
the following appeal for horses In the
columns of the Coostitntion:
“Will yon kindly allow me to make
an appeal through your columns in

there not a tendency to overlook and

they say we go on free tickets. If we

and that we are by far too-foppish.
If, in our frailty, we sometimes per
petrate a joke or make a stagger at

ceedingly light and won’t do. If we

miserable fossils. If we are married
they say it is a pity foronr wife. If
we are not married they say it is be

Editor Times Enterprise:
Would you like to publish the fol
lowing extract from a publication
across the great water?
Mr. W. H. Preece, chief engineer
and electrician to the post office, has
pot np a wire a mile long on the
coast near Lavernock and a shorter
one on Flatholm, a little island three
miles off in the Bristol channel. He
fitted the latter wire with a “sounder”
to receive messages, and *eul a"mes
■age through the former from a pow
erful telephonic generator. That
message on mainland was distinctly
heard on the island, though nothing
connected the two, or in other words,
the possibility of a telephone between
places unconnected by wire was con
clusively established.
There is a possibility here of inter
planetary communication, a good
deal more worthy of attention than any
scheme for making gigantic electric
flashes. We do not know if we can com
municate by telephone through the
ether to New York or Melbourne with
or without cables, but we do know
that if we cannot, the fault is in our
generators and sounders, and not in
any prohibitory natural law.—Lon

Abont nine o’clock Thursday morn
ing fire was discovered issuing through
the roof of the old wooden building
on the corner of Stephens and Jeffer

prompt in responding to the alarm
and in a very few minutes afterwards
there were three streams playing np
on the roof, which by this time was
ri completely enveloped

work, however, with the three streams
to extinguish the flames. The dam
age to the house is considerable, but
we learn is covered by insurance.
The occupants of the house succeeded
in laying nearly all their effects. The
fire is thought to have been caused by

An Interesting Discussion.
The colored Peabodjr Institute dis
cussed the question as to the best
means of keeping tho colored girls
and boys out Of the chain gang at
their meeting on Saturday. It is a
question whioh may very properly
claim the attention of those who arc
moulding the minds and directing
the studies of the colored youth. Be-
formatory schools, were regarded as
one of the best safesguards against the
evil. It was moved by Prof. Wright
and seconded by Prot. Chas. Rico that

The attendance at the Peabody In
stitute was very good yesterday, and
thoee present took a deep interest in
the exercises. We hope and believe
that the attendance will increase dur

questions and also serious ones.
Col. Lynes then introduced the

Resolved, That we, the teachers of

in fever ot teachers remaining in one
place longer was expressed.
It was the consensus of opinion, in
a discussion on intemperance, that
teachers should do everything in
tbrir power to promote temperance
amopg our paper.
The discussion on these subjects
took a tyide range, showing that the
faculty were abreast of the times in
everything pertaining to the welfare
and promotion of the hot interest of
the colored race. The language used
was good and the subjects handled in
q manner which showed that the
speakers were not only in earnest,
but that that they understood what
they were talking about. Good will
undoubtedly result from these meet
ings and discusriuna.

Mrs. J. B. Fitzgerald, wife oi En
gineer Fitzgerald of the Savannah
steam laundry, has been very ill for
some time past at her home on Second
avenue. She has been suffering with
the gripp, and iu consequence her
lungs became seriously affected Her
many friends will be glad to know
that she is now rapidly improving.
As soon as she is able to travel Mrs.
Fitzgerald will spend some time in
Thomasville, hoping the change will
be beneficial—Savannah Press
A proposition has been made by
the Louisville and Nashville and the
Queen and Crescent roads to give a
rate of one fare for ihe round trip
from Montgomery to Cities go. Tho
rate from Montgomery to Chicago at
present is 826.20, but if one fare rate
allowed it will be only $20 50.
Well, this would help the rate from
Thomasviile and this section to some
extent. The fact ia a round trip rate
ought to be made generally from ail
points. It would actually pay the
roads to make the rate.
