Mayor Stubbs reports Meigs as growing and improving right along. Recently parties from middle Georgia have purchased tracts ot land in that vicin ity sod are putting out extensive vineyards and orchards. There is not a better or more prosperous sec tion of the connty or of this entire section for that matter to be found than that section of old Thomas.

THE CONNELL CASE. the bond was taken. There is no doobt if public opinion had not forced Sheriff Thrasher to' interfere, Mr. Connell would hsve been before Judge Hansell in person on .next p e »boby Institute, rnosiAsviLI.E,Gsj Ang. 7th, ’93. There bis been a great deal written and said about the bond of tfokn Con nell, who lately killed'a negro in Brooks county, Ga. I wish to relieve Judge Hansell and assume all the responsibility. If any wrong has been done I did it If there is any indignation, it ought to be against me. I bare known.Con nell since his - childhood. Ho 1 bar worked for some of our family nearly all his life. He is a poor man; bnt my friend. No man lives'who is more loyal or trustworthy. He has only one bolt * -He occasionally drinks and when he does he is abso lutely crazy. At the time the negro was billed be was acting as a deputy sheriff for Thomas county and hunt ing for a desperate negro, named Plummer, who had killed several parties. The negro bad threatened to assassinate him.- He had been warned. He came to Thotnaaville and to'd Mr Mttobel! and myself that he bad been attacked by negrtes about eleven o’clock at night and had killed two of them. He gave himself np to Sheriff Doss of Thomas county, We and a great majority of our people here be lieved him,- as be-was regarded as perfectly truthful I still think' that he thought Qia tale he told waa true. His wile, we both knew, had a child about a week old and was in a ry critical condition, and we both tiered that if he were cent to jail be wuuM die. Wo wired Judge Hanse'l that Connell ■ bad been at tacked by negroes at nigljt and had killed two. and had given himself np and asked that be fix a bond. He answered that if he bad killed them as we said a thousand dollar bond would be sufficient. The bond wss taken. The next day 1 heard that the prosecution claimed Co’ cell's tale was not true. 1 immediately inves tigated, and uu the following day wired Judge Haree'l the case wss much worse than tve had wired him and to increase the bnud. He wired back that, under the circumstances, he could not allow b ind without a bearing. Before the bond was taken Mr. Connell had promised Mr. Mitch, ell and me to deliver himself up whenever we asked him to so do, and his intention was so to do immediately upon Judge Hansell’s arrival. I asked Hr. Mitchell, as anon as I wired Judge Hausell aseond time, before received his answer (which waa ou- Satorday evening, it taking conaider- able rime to get a telegram to and from Indian ’Springs), to go down to Mr. Connell's and see that he oomea up on Mtoday morning and delivers himself up. Ia the meantime, rite Sherifi of llroolta couoty came np, I think on the day after the bond had been taken, and said that the people of Quitman were very indignant bes cause Connell had been let oat on bond. He said that he had two other warrants io his possessioo against Cop nell. One for carrying concealed weapons and the other for pointing a pistol at another. I told him that he had a perfect right to take him on either of the said warrants, and to go and take him.’ I think Cept. Doss, Sheriff of Thomas county, told him about the same thing. The under, standing when Mr. Mitchell left on Saturday to go tn Mr. Connell’s waa that Connell was to come to Thomas, ville on Monday, if be conld possibly leave bis wile, and deliver him self up. Mr. Mitchell weot down on Saturday, and after seeing how criti cally ill his wife was. made arrange ments with Mr. Connell to deliver himself up in Thomssville on tbe fo’.luwiog Thursday. I understand from him, that several hours after wards Mr. Thrasher, Sherifi of Brooks county, came and said that the peo plo of Quitman would not.be satisfied with any such arrangements, and that they would not bs satisfied unless Connell went back with him to Quit- man under arrest. Mr. Mitchell prevailed upon Mr. Connell to deliver himself up, and, aa bis bondsman, delivered him to the Sheriff of Brooks county. Mr. Connell went into the house by permission of the Sheriff to change his clothes and has not been seen since, either by the Sheriff or Mr. Mitchell. I want to say this, that the rela tionship existing be. ween Mr. Con nell and myself has been and ia very close; that I know his wife to be one of the best women in the world. I know farther that the ia frail and delicate and very susceptible to troubles. I know that she was in a vary e** 1 ' ical condition. I acted from friend ship and humanity, I wired what I thought was true to Judge Hansel!; he acted upon it and if it bad been tree his action would have been emi- nentlyp roper. It is claimed that vnu mistaken aa to the facta. .Aa soon aa I found out the proaecution's side I consulted with Sheriff Doas, of Thomas .county, and wired Judge Hansell theotategLagairsas claimed to bo tree by the Sheriff of Brooka county. I took -the. , „ get Sherifi Doss, himself, io send the I imml tngements to have 1 r himse’f op, so 1 be in the same com Thursday. I want to suggest another thing. Sheriff Thresher infwmed both the Sheriff of Thomas county and me that he bad two'additional warrants for Mr. Connell. If be or any other parties in Brooks county so desired they could have gone tq Mr. Connell’s home and arrested him, I know one thing, that Judge Hansell has done nothing that un upright and careful Judge would not’, have done. I willing to admit that I acted hastily in my fitstTeiegraiq. Isay now, aa I arid in the beginning, if there da any fault it has been Committed by tne, and not by the Judge. I am unwilling for aayhojy to be hfatmed for any mistakee of mine if n mistake was committed. I am wUltug to bear all the censure in this matter. Very mpectfnlly, . A. T.-MacIktybe.

In a word, this movement means doing the greatest good to the greatest number of people, I beg"to say, therefore, that you are not only authorized but earnestly requested to appoint one or more, rep resentative prohibitionists from each church or - charge ip your pastorate as delegates to said convention, and to do so without delay, as the time is short.

Cutry, agent, of the Peabody Fuad, our most hearty thanks for his interest in the Georgia teachets, as shown by his continued appropriation of money to run Insti tutes while the State has thus far refuted to do anything. Resolutions by Prof, Moody; Resolved by the Peabody Normal Institute at ThomaBville, Ga., That we are strongly in favor of C-unty Institutes, of one or mure Normsl colleges lor the State, and of all other institutions established for the Nor mal training of teachers, thereby in- creating their effici-ucy as factors in he great work of elevating the plane of education in Georgia.

The sessions ot the Peabody Nor mal Idatitnie waa closed in a vary happy manner yesterday at 12 o’clock by State School Commissioner Brad well. There was quite a huge at tendance to hear the last words of a corps of instructors who in the con scientious discharge of their dntiea hare won.golden opinions at the hands of all who hare attended the Institute. There wss no regular programme carried' out yetferdaj, the .time being consumed in abort farewell talks by the faculty and the reading of a number of resolutions which were adopted by the Institute and which win be published Profs.

Ang. 9. The Largest of the Season. ’ The liugestl LeGonts pear we have ever seen was placed on oar desk yes. terday by Mr. P. L. CraignaDes. It waa grown on his plaoe near town and was picked from the tree by one of his little boys. The pear is perfect ly shaped and weighs 20 ounces even. This is probably the hugest pear ever grown in tbe county. We do not remember of having seen one as buge before. Mr. J. L. Warren, of Savannah, waa registered at the Stuart Thursday Everybody in Georgia knows “Jo" Warren. He is, in the highest sense, one of nature’s noblemen. Ha has, for long years, been one of the leads ing business men of Savannah, and no man in the state standi higher in the estimation of the public. Few men in Georgia have n more-exten sive acquaintance and none more de voted friends. Thomasville is always glad to entertain Mr. Warren. If he doesn’t see what he wants he win please call for it. Oae of the brightest papers of the State Agricultural Society, **A plea for the farmer’s blend,” was read by Mr. B. D. Lumsden, of Macon. He announced that the fanner's friend he spoke ot was old Kit mule. He said that Job had 300 she asses, and he had often thought that if he bad co Mended with niggers and mules, he never would have stood the test. G.-orge Washington was the first man in this country to raise mutes, and hence he may be considered the founder of the mule. He said it was impossible to run a mule over a precipice, and if old Israel Putnam had been riding a male he never would have dashed down those stone steps, and his name never would have been handed down to ns as a fearless rider. Mules, like some men, are born kickers. Mules, it taken m time, can s broken of the hab.t, but a kicking man was never known to be cored. He then spoke oi the mule ai n basis ot credit in Georgia, aid ended by making a plea for the farmers to take better ctre of their moles. Another Fire. It isn't often that Thomasville has two fires in the same night, but Mon day night was an exception to tbe role. The first fire ocean ed about 8 o’clock and destroyed the house of Sam Young, colored, an account of which appeared in yesterday's paper. The lastalarmwasgiven about3 o’clock Tuesday morning, and tbe fire proved to be indhe house of Bob Coleman, colored, which was only about thirty feet distance from the one which bunted a tew hours before. It wax unquestionably tbe work of an incen diary. There was no insurance on the building. Tbe bouse of Sam Young was insured for $*00 with J.&- B. Love, in the ScPatfi fire insurance company. Resolutions by Prof. Baker: Whereas, The Peabody Institute has been in session in Thomasville for over three weeks, affording rare edu national advantages to the teachers ol Thomas and contiguous counties, and Whereas, Those teichers and citi zens who have been iu attendance would show their appreciation of the pleasure and benefit derived, therefore be it Resolved, That we tender our sin cere thanks to Commissioner Brad veil ’for holding one of the Institutes in our town, and for his talks, so replete wisdom and instruction given u: dur ing the sessions. Resolved, That our thanks are also doe and, cheerfully tendered Mrs. Head for her excellent method of tercsting children in school work, to Prof. Moody for hit lucid and prac tical manner ot teaching Grammar, to Prof. Lane for his dear and forcible way of teaching Geography, to Prof. Frederick for his manner of rendering easy and attractive the study of Arith metic and to Col.

Notwithstanding the threatening condition ot rite weather and the fire on Monday-night, Prof. Chas Lane’s lecture drew a-big audience at -the courthouse. The Prof had just be-? gan his lecture when the alarm was given. He suspended operations for about tweffty minutes when the audi ence returned and the speaker re sumed where he bad left off. He kept thecrowd from then on convulsed .with laughter. Prof. Lane is certain ly one of the most en'ertaining lectur ers who has ever "visited Thomasville and should he come this* way again, he will be accorded a foil house. The brick work oil the Messrs. Ball’s stores on ioffer Broad street has been .completed and workmen are now putting on the roof. These stores add greatly to the appearance of that end of town. County Pro- Commissioner's ceedtngs.

Robt. W. Hargis, M. D. President of the Board of Health. Attest: G. Brent, Secretary. Hundreds are leaving the city on out-going trains. Physicians think there wi 1 be no more cases. Speaking of the status of the firm- era and business men throughout thia section of the state, the News says: The, farmers of wiregraas Georgia, or the extreme southwestern portion of the state, have made their crops this year at very little cost, and the consequerce is theyare less in debt and owe lees now than they have on any crop made in the last five years. This information cornea frost who travel in that section of Georgia, and who comes in drily contact with the farming classes in that section of the state. The fact that the fiiriwi have, bought very little on their crop prospects, has kept the country mer chants largely out of debt, as they have sold very little under the cir cumstances. The consequerce is that the whole of wiregraas Georgia ia fat very solid' condition, and very Httie money is owed by either the farmers or the merchants in that section. According ;to the Atlanta Herald there are twenty-five cases of typhoid fever in Gainesville, Ga. Those peo ple up there ought to come down here and spend .the summer in Thomasville where it ia bealthj all the ear round. L. B. Bouchelle... R. P. Doss Ri Smith....... ! Boh* DeUe ;.v if. J. Davis..
