have enough currency on hand for
this purpose. The circular, aud

where, tells a different tale. Every

At tbe regular meeting of the

your resignation as principal of the
Girls High School was tendered
through Mr. Zettler, superintendent.
The undersigned were instructed to
acknowledge its receipt and in so
doing to express to yon the high ap
preciation in which your services were
held, aod the sincere regret to every
member of the Board that circum
stances induced you to sever your
connection with the schools of this
city after no many years of faithful
and satisfactory service.
The Board feels that to you more
than any other one teacher, is due the
high reputation the schools have en
joyed in the paBt, and realizes keenly
the loss to the system, which your
resignation entai’s.
With no derirs to disparage the
work of others we do not hesitate to.
say, you could least have been spared
from Bibb’s roll of over one huudred
teachers.
In your future work we wish and
predict for you the full measure of
success that characterized your labors
in the cau*e of education here.
The impress of your work with all
its refining influence will be felt not
only in the schools but in the homes
of hundreds of our people for years to
come.
With sentiments of high esteem
we have the honor to be

With these resolutions, which were
handsomely engrossed, she received
personal letters from several of Ma
con’s prominent citizens and school
officials expressing their appreciation
of her ability as a teacher and re*
greta for her res’guatioo. Among
these Supt. B. M. Zet'.ler says, * In
parting with you I beg to exprest. so
fur as word- are adequate, tpy appre
ciation of your va’uible services in

tem when it was in its mcipiency,
aud by reason of your s-cral position
contributed not a 'ittle to giving tho
schools character, and in securing for
them the patronage of our best peo
pie. You took hold of yourfirstc’ass
with an enthusiasm that was inspir

have taught with us, there has been
no abatement of your zeal and deyo»
tion t» the schools. But it
the high school where you have (aught
with such sp'eudid success for twe’ve
y»-ars I do you but simple justice
in faying that to your personal influ
ence, your skill in teaching and your
unequalled tact in discipline and
management are largely due the high
character of that school.”
Assistant Sup’t. D Q Abbott,
writes, “Professionally, re have lost
one of the most scholarly, most effi
cient, most tactful, most resourceful
women I have ever seen in the school
room.” Judge A. L. Miller aud
others wrote her similar letters.
The above flattering and voluntary
endorsements of Miss Merrill, merit
ed cs they are, and coming from the
most prominent and caltivated people
in Macon, a3 they do, will be appres
dated by the many friends of Miss
Bessie in Thomasville. The South
Georgia College is fortunate in hav

teachers in the state—if any—have
made a more enviable record in the
school room.

to report to day, aod the outlook is
very hopeful. Six days have elapsed
without developments.
Dr. Guiteras, in an interview to

FEVER AT "TORT TAMPA.
Thomasville Quarantined Last
Night
The rumors that had been circu
lated on the streets yesterday stating
that there was a case of lever at Fort
Tampa were verified last night by a
private telegram received by a gen-
t'eman in this city from a friend in
Tampa- This stated that there was
one case on the docks at Port Tamps,
but that it was strictly quarantined,
nnAihete was very little danger ot it
preading. >
Mayor Hopkins bad wired4o sever
al points during the day for infor
mation, but failed to receive any re
sponse. He, however, upon seeing
the telegram above alluded to, im
mediately declared quarantine against
Tampa, Port Tampa City and Port
Tampa.
Tbe reporter had a talk with Mr.
T. L. Spence, the new manager ol
the Thomasville opera house,, yester
day morning. Mr. Spence has been
in this kind of business for a number
of years and knows just exactly what
the people want and what will pay
the house.
,He is a live, wide-awake business
man, and if there is any money i i the
theatre business in Thomasville he will
get it out The lesee has turned the
whole business over to- him. - He
alone has authority to fix prices,
make engagements and run the home.
What land of a season do you
anticipate?” the reporter, asked Mr.
The maoy friends of Mr. and Mrs.
Berry C. Johnson, will be pained to
learn of the death of their bright lit
tle daughter, Bama, which occurred
at their residence on Wednesday
morning. She was taken ill with
diptheria on Sunday morning, and
the best medical attention and tender-
eat nursing were unavailing to save
the little one’s life. She was three
years and two months old and was
the pet of the household. The fvu
neral services were conducted at Fre-
donia Baptist church yesterday morn
ing. by the Bev^ D. H. Parker.
White the parents mourn,* as only
parents can, the loss of their loved
one, it is well with the child.
The Times Enterprise job office
is turning out the annual catalogue of
B. W. Btooe’A Co.’s nursery, which
is located near the city. Tbe cata«*
logue contains much that will be of
interest to fruit growers every where.
Mr. Stone has made a life study of
fruit culture and is authority on any
thing pertainiog to it. He baa, by
close application to business and up*
right, honest methods, built up a huge
and increasing business. He is a
young man who deserves success and
we are- glad that he is meeting with
iU
Thomasville Is All Right.
During the long weeks ol depres
sion when the banks all over the
country were breaking, when great
business enterprises were being
wrecked and ruined, Thomasville,
vu here in the wiregrass, never
lost her head. Her banks and bust
nesa men, cautious and cool, watched
the situation and guided their basinets
with skillful hands. And the people
never lost confidence. There has been
no rush, no withdrawals of deposits.
The consequence is that the town
emerges from tbe gloom cast all over
the country by tbe financial disasters
with colors flying and solid as the
impregnable fortress oi Gibraltar.
There will be no necessity ior the is
suanee of clearing house certificates
here. The banks and merchants, as
wi l be seen by reference to announce
ment e'sewhere, have pleuty of cur
rency ou hand to pay for cotton and
to supply all the demands of com
merce This is a most gratifying
announcement. Many towua have
had to resort to certificates in order
to supply the means with which to
carry on business. Farmers bringing
their cotton here will hot only
be paid tbe very highest market
prices, but they will be paid promptly
in currency.
That there is yet a scarcity of cur
rency in many places is true, but
Thomasville is fully equipped and
prepared with money to purchase
every bale of cotton grown in Thomas
county.
In a few days the schools and col
leges in Thomasville will resume.
No town in the State' offers greater
or more substantial induce menta to
pupils who desire an education. Our
colleges rank among the beet in the
State, while a number of private
schools, all first-class, offer rare in
ducements to parents and guardians
who wish to send children to good
schools. The (own is healthy, its
morals good, board can be had in
private families at reasonable rates,
whi'e the best influences will be thrown
around boys and girls, both in and
out of the schools and colleges. We
have excellent schools right here at
home, and they should be pationized,
and liberally patronized. A good
attendance helps to make a good
school.
“A good one,” ✓ promptly re
plied the new manager. «*I pro
pose to give the people of Thomaa
viile thq best attraction*- that can be
induced to come here, and I know
they wid be patronized. The money
panic wid be over before the season
is fairly opened, and with the large
crowd that will be here this winter I
feel confident that by giving good
shows Thomasville can be made one
of the best show towns in South
Georgia.”
“What is the character of tho at
tractions already booked?*.
“Well, yon see, I haven’t been in
charge of the house but one day, and
consequently have made^ no bookings
myself. Mr. Thompson, the former
manager, had, however, signed op
with quite *a number of companies,
some of which are the best that come
South. The biggest thing we have
booked for the season U Stuart Bob-
son, who will play here early next
year. Robson, you know, is the best
in bis Hoe. He plays to full houses
fur weeks at a time' in the largest
cities. He is a brother of Mr. C. T.
Stuart, and it is only through the
ii'ftoence of his brother that be was
induced to visit as small a place as
Thomasville.”
Will there be any improvements
made in the house ?”
*No; none are necessary. The
Thomasville opera hou^e is the best
fitted up and best arranged of any
house in the South outside of the
large cities. It is a long ways ahead
of the town.”
When does the eeason open ?**
Oj September the 13th, with a
comedy company.* You may Bay to
U\“ people,” continued Manager
Spence, “that I shall endeavor to do
all in my pjwer to give them attrac
tions in every way worthy of their
patronage.”
BRUNSWICK BRIGHTENS

No New Cases—Surgeons Will

Special to Tiuis-Ektsrpusk ] .. .
Brunswick, Ga., Ang. 31, ’93. -
There are no new "or suspicious
cases of fever reported op to this
hour, 9 p. m. The Board of Health
havei decided to issue no more health
bulletins unless new cases axe develop

The School Fund of Thomas
County.
According to the figures recently
worked ont by State School Commis
sioner Brad well, there wOTbe $1,058,-
532 52 to be given out to the various
counties of the state, and this will be
divided ont to tbe counties on the
bans oi their school population as
shown by the recent school census.
By the count of that censns if was
found that there are 604*971 children
of school age in the State.
According to the report 97 per
cent ot* the children of the state are
attending school, leaving only 3 per
cent out of the school house. Thomas
county reports her school population
at 8,370. This gives, as her portion
of the public school fund, $14,646.50,
Only the following counties draw
a larger amount from, the fund:
Bibb, 122,034,50; Burke, $16,172.00;
Chatham, 27,172.50; Floyd, $16,877.-
25; Fulton, $27,673;00; Richmond,
$25,203.52, and Washington, $15,
696,502.
Thus it will be seen that only seven
counties draw a larger amount of tbe
school fund than Thomas county,
In the bands of that careful, compe
tent and painstaking gentleman,
County School Commissioner, Me
Lean, every dollar will be used to
tho best advantage, and for tbe bene
fit of the school children of Thomas
county. There is not a man in Geor
gia more thoroughly interested io the
work of education than Mr. McLean.
He has made the pnbho schools of
Thomas model ones.
They are All Right.
The farmers ot Thomas county have
not fe't the a riogency in money mat
ters like the-merchants and business
mon. The farmers have contracted
but few debts, and have, in the main,
made their cwn supplies. This wise
policy has made them independent
of the situation.
Speaking of the condition of the
farmers throughout the Stale the
Other day, Governor Northen, said:
The farmers are not the ones that
are suffering from the pan ; c this year.
They are all-right aud are on the top
wave. It is the men wb » are expect
ed to have money that seem to be
troubled. I don’t be'ieve I have ever
seen the farmers of the state of Geor
gia so well fixed at this period of the
year. They have lived at home more
closely this year than before, and the
natural consequence is they arc not
so much in debt as they usually are
atthU period. They have good pros
pects for a bounteous harvest, too,
and this makes them feel safe, while
the bankers fend financiers are both
ered for cash. Georgia will be all
right in a few weeks. Watch and
see.

He Jumped.
Mayor Hopkins met the train from
Waycrossatd made diligent se.rcb
tor parties who might hail from
Tampa. Everyone showed up ail
right except one negro. He had no
health certifica'e aud could give no
satisfactory account as to his former
whereabout,. The mayor notified him
that he could not come into town.
Reluc antly, apparently, he got off.
Just as the train started off some track
hands yelled out: "Dat nigger done
got back on de train.” Sure enough
the mayor found him while trying to
conceal himselt. By this time the
train was getting under good headway,
'You can jump or. stay on and be
arrested when you get to the depot,”
said the mayor. Thedarkey conclud
ed it was better to jump than to he
arrested, and so, with his only baggage
banjo—he jumpped. Banjo and
performer hit the ground in a lump
and the last seen of him he' was
nuking his way southward. The
police hare an accurate description of
him and il he is found in town an

Shade Trees.
The Press makes a strong appeal
for the replacement and preservation
of the shade trees in Savannah. It
says:
“Savannah's glory is in' her shade
trees. Hundreds of these were ruined
by the storm. It is to be hoped that
great care will be taken in trimming
and straightening those that' are
damaged. The shade trees should be
dealt with tenderly. They cannot be
replaced in a day. The trees and
parks are worth a great deal to Sa
vannah. For beauty, comfort, and
health nothing can take their place.
This is the time to show the greatest
care io looking after the trees in the
public parks and thoroughfare: and
in private property.”
This reminds us that Thomuvi'l--,
while she has many beautiful shade
trees, should have many more. Every
resident street io the town should be
lined with shade trees. They would
add materially, not only to the com
fort of the citizens, but to the appear
ance ot the streets and the value of
property. The city council cou'd uot
do a wi er thing than to set out a
fixed number of shade trees every
year. And when put out they should
be properly boxed and protected
against stock. No better investment
could be made. In this way the
town could be made one of the most
attractive ia the South. Nothing
adds more to the attractiveness of a
town than to have its resident streets
lined with shade trees.

jMeantime, what is the "engineer of
this fastest train in the world doing for
the passengers? In the first place, the
Chicagojlyer is not driven by one but
by many engineers. In orderto'cover
the, nine Jhundret) >nd .sixty -four miles
between-the two cities in twenty hours,
including nieeatops, there are required,
seven huge engines in relays, driven by
seven grimy heroes. A run of lees
than one hundred and fifty miles is the
limit per day lor each engine, while
three hours of the plungiog rush wears
ont-the strongest engineer. Sixty,
seventy, eighty miles an hoar—what
does that mean to the man at tbe
throttle? It means that the six and a
half feet drivers turn five times every
second' and advance one hundred
feet. Trc-tic trc, and the train has
run the length of New York’s highest
steeple.- Die engineer turns his head
for five seconds to look at the gauges,
and in that time the terrible iron
creature, putting forth the strength
of a thousand horse?, 'may have shot
past a red signal with its danger warn
ing five hundred feet away. Ten sec*
ends, aod one thousand leet are left
behind—oue-fifth W a mile. Who
knows wbat horrors may lie in a thou
sand feet! There may be death lurking
round a curve, death spreading its
arms in a tunnel, and the engineer
must see and be responsible for every
thing. Not only most be note instant
ly all that is before him, the signals,
switches, bridges, the passing trains,
and the condition of the rails, but he
must act at the same moment, work
ing the throttle, air-brakes, reversiog-
lever, not as qnick as thought, but
quicker, for there is no time to think.
His muscles must do the right thing
automatically under circumstances
where a second is an age. Ia the
three hours of his vigil there are ten
thousand eight hundred seconds, du
ring each one of which he must watch
with the mental alertness of an athlete
springing for a flyiog trapeze from the
roof of an amphitheatre, with the
courageous self-possession olamita-
dor awaiting the deadly rush of a
maddened but); and far more depends
upon the engineer’s watching well,
because, if he fails by a hair’s breadth
in coolness orprecission of judgement,
there may come destruction, uot only
to himself, but to hunnreds ot passen
gers, who, while he stands guard, are
perhaps grumbling at the waiters in
the dining-car or telling fueny stones
io the smoker 4
