Dear Times -Enterpeise :
While on' the streets early this
morning Jane Smith tapped me on
the shoulder. It was, as is usual
under the dreumitanoea, e meeting
of nupefee to eech of u*. Io n few
mini tea we had started for Arlington,
theold six hundred acre farm home
of that intarprid hero of the last eanae,
Bbbh E. Lee. Every individual
loyal-to the lata lamented confedera
cy, and-every one. who poasea-ea
enough to appreciate a grand old
warrior whose sets render him with
out a parallel in bfetory, should proud-
ly lift his hat at the
his name. As fa the case with all
that was-mortal of the great aoldfer.
The o’4' farm baa undergone great
changes 1- The field* are builded apon
and theextanrive lawn has been con
verted, into a national cemetery,
where the bodw* of seventeen Hums'
and of these who wore tho Mae and
luivo gone to -real.- About two hun
dred confederate boys who bravely
gave their live* for that which they
believed was right, have mingled their
dost with Arlington soil, and that
far they have maintained this lawful
heritage. It was but just and right
that they should repose in this beau
tiful spot. May the sound of the
final tramp be quickly followed by a
glorious light beaming through the
gates ajar to guide them and accom
panied by the jnyfnl sounds which
■ay enter thou into everlasting
peace. A. part of this beautiful place
occupied as a government military
post The' old reridence
undefaced and is antic which attracts
mach attention. It is constructed
very much on the order of the Thom
as county Jones houses, haying a
wide piazzi in', front bordered with
eight pillars, sixteen feet and three
inches in circumference and twenty-
five feel high. The building is on an
eminence commanding'a magnificent
view embracing the sloping lawn
and terraces below, a long reach of
the Potpmac river and a birds eye
view of the beautiful capitol of the
United States.
After the o'oee of the medical con
grets in the afternoon I attended a
reception at the white home given
by President and Mrs Cleveland.
The President looked well, but his
wife looked better. The far famed
marine band discoursed soft sweet
marie whirh seemed calculated to
transport one far away from earth
and worldly thongbta and lead him
through etherial labsryntha of eternal
glory. The whole affair was possessed
of that trancaendent brilliancy which
once implanted, upon the human
mind lingers never to be forgotten.
The Pan American congress con
tinues s grand success Many scieu'

and discussed in the different aectioiw

Special iuterest is taken in
matters looking toward preventive
medicine. The prevention of disease
is far more important than its core,
except to those who are now rfflicted.
Sorely no physician with a spark of
humanity or godliness in his make up
will fail to use his utmost endeavor
to prevent the ills to which human
flesh is heir.
At this moment Dr. \Vm. Pepper,
the president of tho congress, is de
livering-^ his address, which will bo
immediately followed by a grand
promenade concert at Metgerott Hall.

To day we, by resolution, recom
mended that a national department

event that the government complies
there will bo an additional member of

This department, of course, if estab

states, but rather to aid and abet
such whenever necessary. Upon

A Sad Death.
We regret exceediogly to announce
the death of Mr. R. R. Mitchell,
which sad event occurred yesterday
morning about eleven o’clock at his
home eleven miles in the country.
Mr. Mitchell had been sick just ten
days, and although the disease with
Which ho was afflicted—hemorrhagic
fever—is considered extremely danger
ous, his friends had reason to hope
that his robust constitution would
succeed in dispelling it. All feist week
be was quite low, baton Saturday
and Sunday seemed to be improving.
Yesterday . morning, however, he
suddenly grew worse and in a few
hours, death claimed him as another
one of its victims. '
Mr. Mitchell was a son of Mr,
Henry Mitchell, and on the 6tb day
of last May was 37 yean of age. He
wdl And favorably known
tbronghonf the county, and was held
In. the highest esteem by every one.
He poaseased til the train that go to
make up the trite gentleman, and
none knew him but to love him.
True to his family and friends, strict
ly hone’t and straightforward in all
dealings with his fellowman, kind
hearted and charitable, Dick Mitch-
dl’a name trill ever be cherished.
Deep and sharp were the pangs of
regret that pierced the hearts of
his relatives and countless friends
when the news of his death, reach
their ears.
Mr. Mitchell leaves a young and
devoted wife, three small children,
father, brothers and sisters to
moorn his untimely death. These
have the heartfelt sympathiee oi every
one in their sad bereavement. y
The remains will be brought to
town this morning and the funeral
will take place from the residence of
Mr. T. C. Mitchell, on Remington
avenne^at three o’clock this afternoon.
Interment in Launl Hill cemetery.
The friends and acquaintances of the
deceased and his family are invited to
attend.—Drily T. E. Sept 12.

The Fast Mail Wrecked.
No. 37, the fast traia between here
end Montgomery, which left here a
little pfter one o'clock on Friday, waa
wrecked about a half mile this side of
Dothan. The engine, baggage car,
mail car and two coaches were thrown
from the track, nothing bat the
leeper remaining on. The derail
ment was canted by a bolt which had
been placed on the track by aome one.
Engineer McLaughlin was leaning
out of his window lookiog at some
part oi the machinery and saw the
wheels leave the track. The engine
ran along on the ties for some dis
tance and finally stopped almost on its
side.
Mr. McLangblin stuck to his post,
but the fireman was thrown oat of the
window and considerably bruised up.
No one else on the tram was i-jared
A few minutes after the accident
happened a little white boy came from
out of a field near by and from
his conversation Conductor Johnson
concluded he knew somethieg about
the cause of the acoident and locked
him up until Superintendent Dun
ham arrived. - When the latter came
bo examined the boy and finally
turned him loose. The train tvas
going up hiii at the time and only at
a speed of about thirty miles en hour.
Had it been going at its usual high
rate of speed the result would no
doubt have been something terrible.

His Trip toChicago and Im
pressions of the Windy
City.
Chicago, Sept 4, 1893.
We left you at Louisville. The
most elegant railroad depot on the
entire route is located there. We
parted company with our friend Parker
who continued on over the L. N. to
Cincinnati while-we diverged to the
northwest over the Pennsylvania lines.
It fa a 300 mile run from Louisville to
Chicago and we found it the most
tedious, dusty, tiresome part if all.
Our train was two hours fate. We did
not consider it very healthy for Geor
gia crackers to arrive in Chicago at
midoightwith a lotof encumbcrenccs,
hence decided to stop over night in’
Logaosport, lad., and run np to
Chicago this morning. This last 100
miles was farirly .pleasant and afford,
ed a vie* of the immense hay and
stock farm* oi Indiana
At to o’clock we rolled Into the
union depot The entrance to Chica
go by rail is rather disappointing to
one whose anticipations are pitched
upon a high scale. The distances, to
be sure, are observed, feat yon do not
get any real idea ot the compactness
of the city nor see aoy of the floe
buildings. Bot whatever oi disap
pointment we felt in this respect was
soon abolished after our arrival. An
hour's walk on several streets prepar
ed us to beg pardoa for aoy underes
timation of its size, There is nothing
small abont Chicago except the size
of your purse after a week’s stay, and
in two days longer it is oat of sight.
And speaking ot distances; we are
taught that ‘‘distance lends enchant
ment to the view.” Sometimes it
may, but really one gets vety tired of
such enchantment here. From the
depot to the fair it is only 9 miles. A
cable car traverses the; distance in
about one hour. But don’t think
the depot is at one extreme of the city
and the fair at the other. The longest
street U Halstead and from boundary
to boundary of the city it coven 24
miles. Yon might add some dozen
miles through suburban settlement not
incorporated.
We did not visit the fair to-day;
preferedtolookaronod the city and
get our bearings, as it were. We need
rest too. To-morrow wewillscethe

~ Save Hay.
Let our farmers devote all their
spare time to saving hay. The crow
foot grass and Bermuda gran make
the ' very, best hay tvhen properly
cured. Car loads of hay are coming
to our home markets from the West
and Eist, when we have better grass
to make hay going to waste in our
fields. Home made hay is better and
eaves money to the farmer and keeps
money in the state. It is better to
hire help to save the hay than to have
to pay a high price for an Inferior
article in the winter and spring.
The time spent in healing hay from
the depot to farms, if used in saving
hay, will feed many a head of cattle
in the winter with a better quality of
hay.
Fill up your bams and ont-houaea,
and if yon have any to spare next
spring,. there will be a good market
for the surplus.
The above, taken from the Consti
tution, should appeal to the good
judgment and common sense of every
farmer in Thomas county. Let a re
form, in tho matter of saving this
valuable forage be inaugurated in
this section, Tho subject fa worthy
the attention and careful thought of
every farmer in Georgia.
The Hay Crop,
We have recently, on more than
one occasion, called attention to the
importance of saving hay by the farm
era of Thomas county. Within the
past few months, owing to the failure
of that crop in Europe, great ship
loads of hay have been sent across (be
water. Thomas county ought not
only to make her own forage, bat she
ought to export it. It is suicide to
be buying hay from the West-
Refering to this matter the Atlant a
Journal says:
It fa not only lamentable—it is »
reproach—that so many bales cf north
ern and western hay are almost daily
carried out of Atlanta ter supply-
provender for the feeding of stock in
the country. It is mostly very poor
feed—cut at the wrong time and
deficient in the needed nutrim: r.
The fields of the “laid by” corn are
now generally covered with a grow-A
of grass of the very beet kind, much
superior tomest of the imported straw,
from other states. If cut at the right
time, it will be found much more
suoculent than the refuse hay shipped
to ns from the north; and now is the
right time to cat and save a great deal
of it. Farmers who neglect to do so,
and who are in consequence forced
winter or spring to buy imported
hay with the scant proceeds of their
cotton crope, will then me the neglect.
There is no better grass than either
our common crab-grass or Bermuda.
It fa a volunteer offering to the scythe
or the sickle of onr-Georgia farmers,
and they permit the waste of one of
their important resources by neglect-
ing to avail themselves of it.
imend the following to the
consideration ol the farm-
Thomas county.- The Augusta
Chronicle says:
The cotton crop of last year is re
ported at 6,450,000 bales. That is
about the right size. Let the fanners
of the South hold it down to these
figures for a year or so more; and con
tinue to raise their food crops at home,
and they will sell their cotton at ten
cents a pound and be the most inde-
■prudent people on the globe.
Mr. Geo. Ferrill has joined the
feeohelor’e table at the Stnart.
The New York Leaf Tobacco Board
of Trade win recommend to the Ways
sod Means Committee of Congress
the adoption of a specific rate of duty
on all description of foreign leaf to
bacco of 35 cents per pound. There
never was any good reason for the
imposition of the Ipreseift $2 tax bo
Sumatra tobacco. This country does
not sod cannot produce a satisfactory
substitute for the Sumatraagsr wraps
The imposition of- the higher
duty bv the McKinley act was a need
less injury to the cigar industry and a
tax upon every smoker in the land
for the benefit of a few tobacco grow
ers in New Eigland, where there fa a
limited production ot leaf suitable tor
wrappers lor which it waa hoped to
make a more profitable, althoogh the
Sumatra leaf is vastly superior.
The above from lone of our northern
exchanges will interest gentlemen here
who arc engaged rathe manufacture ol
c’gars. Tho-53rd Congress will make
some important changesjo the tariff,
and tobacco and cigars will be among
the articles affected.
It looks like there would be a row
over tho distribution of' the relief
fund sent to Brunswick. This will
be nothing new in such cases.
