The criminal docket was taken up yesterday morning in the Superior court and the entire day was con sumed in this business. The first case called was that of Charley Spanish, charged with bar glory. He had been indicted by the grand jury for burglarizing the store of B L. flicks & Co., a few weeks ago. The evidence was very strong against him, and realising this his attorneys filed a plea of guilty. At least - two other bills, iriil probably be found against him of the same charac ter, one for burglarizing the post office and one for entering and robbing Levy’s store. Spanish is in every fair way to make a protracted .visit to the coal mines. The next case taken np was the case oi the State vb. Chas. Washing ton, on an indictment chargiog him with voluntary manslaughter. The prisoner was defended by Capi. Ham mond and Mr. A. T. McIntyre, Jr. Solicitor Peeples conducted the prose cution.

Mr. Copeland, the gentlemaif'who lost his pocketbook containing $122 on the Jones bridge road a few days ago is having a hard time findingit, though he knows who has it Taking his cue from the suspicions action of a young uegro girl whom he saw in the road while looking for the lost book, he went to investigate. The resn.lt of his work was the arrest of the girl and two other members oi her family. Mr. Copeland stated to the reporter yesterday afternoon that the negroes had admitted finding the book, bat refused to give it up. They said they had buried it and would not divulge the hiding place. As the matter now stands Mr. Copeland has the negroes, but the negroes have the money. We understand the grand jury has the case in charge and we have no doubt bat that they will force the negroes to disgoTge. Mr.H.

As nothing has so far been heard from the Uncle Hlnun Company, which was booked to play here to night. we deem it perfectly safe tossy that it will not be here. We presume the yellow fever epidemic in Bruns* wick and Jesup has compelled them to change their route, leaving out Thomasville.

He keeps his part of. the coart machinery running as smoothly as glass. There .' isn’t a bitch anywhere. All of yesterday morning was'con sumed in the Superior Court in the trial of the case of the state against Isaac Beard, an.old negro who killed his wife last September. The jury had been selected the evening before and the witnesses sworn, bo when court was opened yesterday morning the attorneys were instructed by his honor to proceed at once with the trial. On tbe night of tbe second day of last September, Diola Beard, wife of Isaac Beard, tbe prisoner at the bar, was shot and killed in her house about two miles fropa town. She and her husband had been separated for some months and were known to bear ill wi’l towards each other. This, coupled with the additional fact that Isaac bad been beard to say that he wou’d kill his wile some time* led to the crime being laid at his door and subsequently to his arrest. The first witness introduced was Dr. T. S. Dekle, who testified that he was called in to see Diola Beard. Fouud her in a semi-comatose condi tion, with a bnllet hole in her body. Probed for tbe ball, which went into the bowels. The wound was sufficient to produce death. Chas, Vann testified that he knew Isaac and Diola Beard; she lived About 200 yards from his house. He saw Isaac the night of the shooting coming from the direction ot her bouse. I was sent for and went to the house, saw tbe woman lying on the floor bloody. Only stayed there about half a minute. Isaac and the woman bad not lived together since last October. In tbe cross ex amination Mr. Vann stated that Isaac "bad no gnn when he saw him, that he went with him to the house, and that he sent him to Mr. Quarterman to get that gentleman to go for a physi cian. Isaac stayed at the house some time and did everything he was told to do tor his wife. Lula Beard swore that the dead woman was her mother and the prisoner her father. She was in the house when her mother was shot, heard the report of the gun and was there when she died. She saw no oue at time of shooting. Her mother said before dying that Isaac had shot her, that she knew the report of the gun. Also said she was going to die aud wanted us to take care of lb* children. Shot came from the win - doiv. She couldn’t see Isaac. Night was dark aud raining. Father and mother bad not been living together foi six month?. He was mad with her, but they spoke. He sometimes came to the fence to see their boy. Felix Stovall said that Isaac came to his house on the night of the kill ing and to'd him he was going to kill his wile. He begged him not to do Isaac left. Witness went to bed, thinking that Isaac would change his miud. Isaac returned to my house later and told me that “he had got the damn bitch.” He had a gun with him. Stovall’s evidence before the coroner’s jury was entirely difierent from the above and when asked' to txpluin it said that he was afraid to tell it all at that time for fear they wou’d get him into the scrape. He also stated that Isaac and the dead woman had not been on good terms for a long time and that Issaac bad epeatedly threatened to kill her. Mr. Vann was put back on the stand and swore that he had conver satiun with the dying woman. She said that Isaac shot her, that she knew the report of the gun. She also said that she did not see him. Joe Pfeister was sworn and said that he knew the prisoner and the dead woman. The prisoner told him last August that he intended to kill his wife before Christmas. The prisoner talked about it a great deal, Alice Johnson swore that Isaac told her that “Diola swore to a lie on mo, and I will kill her for it if it is the last thing I do.” He also said that he wanted to kill her and one other then he was ready to die. The State closed here. The defense introduced no testi mony, bat put Isaac np to make a statement. The prisoner made a long, rambling talk about how he had been persecuted by the peop’e in his n<ghborh<K>d and even by his own family. * His wife had been unfaith ful to him, but that .he did not hill her. He did not want to kill her. “If I had 'wanted to kill any one" I would have killed the man first,” he said. He dosed his statement by say ing that he was innocent, and that if they put him on the gallows he woald still say he did not kill his wife. Solicitor Peeples then went before the jnry. He spoke, only twelve minutes, bnt made a good si The negro was defended by Judge Alexander and Mr, Arthur Patten. The former spoke about fifteen min utes in defense of his dient. The Judge’s charge was a very comprehensive one covering all the law in ti e case and outlining tq the jniy their duty. The jury was only out a short while before they brought in a verdict guilty with a recommendation mercy, which will rend the prisoner up for. life.—Daily T,sE, Oct. 20. Flowers, Beautiful Flowers. Here is something which will in terest the growers and lovers of flow ers. Speaking of the cultivation of at Madi30D, N, J., for sale in New York, a writer says: “The season begins about October 1st, and continues unabated till about the 1st of June, though flowers are shipped during the summer months, only In less quantities. Tho average duly shipments amount to about 35,•» 000 buds, increasing at tho Christ mas holidays to almost 100,000. This seems enormous, and yet the demand is constantly increasing. “The number of varieties raised by tho several growers- is enormous. Among them the American Beauty, a large, double, red rose, noted for its long stem, beautiful foliage and exquisite perfume,' ia without excep tion tho favorite, and at Christmas is quoted at $15Q a hundred. The Perle, bright orange yellow, large, full and good form; Nephetos, purest white, large and double; Mareohall Kiel, beautiful deep yellow, very large, full and globular form, very sweet scented; Mme. de Watteville, white slightly shaded salmon, large, weU • shaped, remarkable in color; Murmit, fine, fl'i&h rose, large and perfect—are Fpecialties, and bring handsome prices, ranging from $18 to $25 a hundred.” Many beautiful roses are grown in Thomasville. This is the home of the queen of flowers. Among others who cultivate many rare roses we may mention Mrs. E. M. Smith, Mrs. 8. L. Hayes, Mrs. John L. Fim the Misses Starke, Mrs H. W. Hopkins, Mrs Junius Smith, Mrs. Redden Smith, Mrs T. J. Young, Mrs. L. A. Dreyer, Mrs. H. E. Armstrong, and other?. Leaving town, bnt iu the viuiuity, Dixie Nnrsery shows a be wildering wealth of flowers, while at Chvelaud Park, the beautiful conn* try plaoe of Mr. John W. Masury, cau be seen one of the finest and cost- lfa*t collections of flowers in this section. Greenwood, Mr. VanDnzer’s beautiful country place, is also the home of some of the loveliest flowers knowu to this section. Flowers, as a rule, are not grown here for profit, though the business might be made a very lucrative one. Flowers during the fall, winter and spring—and they bloom here all winter—are freely given to visitors by tbe liberal growers. Quite a num ber ot little darkeys.make a snug sum during the winter by selling flowers to visitors. Some ot the flowers are procured through legitimate channels, while the nimble little coons not nn» frequently lay in their stock by the light of tho rnoou, while the uncon scious owners are wrapt iu sleep. We should like to see this beauti* ful industry carried on more general- Thomasville. There are but tew yards where fljwers cannot be successfully grown. Bright, beautiful flower?, how they gladden the eye, and stir the finer and better feelings of human nature. God speaks to us in the full blown rose and the opening bud. Cultivate more flowers. FOR BRUNSWICK. The Demorest Contest a Flat- tering Success. Tobacco and its Culture. Possibly no article that is so ex tensively used, not only in our own country, but in all the civilized world, little understood as the plant of tobacco. Tobacco was, as we all know, first discovered when Virginia was settled by the Eoglish. It was extensively used by the Indians, and held in ven# eration as a plant of holy origin or in some way connected with the Greet Spirit- That is why all treaties formed be tween any rival tribes or between the Indians and onr first settlers were invariably sealed by smoking the pipe oi peace. To them the friendly pipe was emblematic of more than ail the social gatherings of our present day. In their ignorance they suppoeed that the aroma arising from the burning tobacco was pleasing to the Great Spirit, and that his divine sanction would be given to their treaty. The botanical name of tobacco is nicotina, in honor of Jean Nicot, a Frenchman who transplanted it in France, where it was regarded as a flower of rare beauty. It was afterwards transplanted in Spain, and excited so much interest and was valued so highly, on account of its introduction from the new world, that it waa made a crime pun ishab'o with death for any one^out- side of the royal family, to own. a single plant. - Later on in the eighteenth century it was introduced into Turkey, where it soon grew into general nee. So great was the prejudice against its use that an order was issued making the consumption of tobacco a crime pun ishable with death. This however was ot short duration, and Turkey it to-day the largest tobacco consum ing country in the world # per capita, In Russia it waa at one time tbe law that all consumers of tobacco should be branded. Happily it has all been changed and is now in gen eral use. In a future article the importance of the plant to our commercial world, the thousands, of hands employed in its culture, will be dealt with. Dan Hai l. The above taken from the Atlanta Journal will be read with interest by tobacco growers and consumers oi the weed. The lecture room of the Methodist church was crowded to.its utmost capacity Tuesday evening by thoce who were anxious to help poor, scourge stricken Brunswick and at the same time encourage-the noble ladies who are devoting their energies to raising lands for this purpose. They are. engaged- in a cause that commends itself to every one who is capable of sympathizing with the dis tressed and afflicted and they should receive the encouragement of all. The programme of the evening's entertainment consisted iq the mam of a Demorest Contest} hut there were other recitations, some splendid sing ing and a short talk by Prof. Rod- denbery.

Where all did so well it would be invidious to draw comparisons, and the judges had anything bat an easy task to decide upon the winner of the medal. It was awarded, however, to Miss Eva Bogan. It is proper to state here that the last three young ladies on the pro gramme who recited, Misses Mayne Davis, Nellie Pringle and Hope Lin- were not contestants for the medal. Their recitations were ren dered in a most excellent manner. Prof. Roddenbery’s remarks were beautiful and appropriate. He paint ed in eloquent language the misery and distress of the citizens of tie stricken “City by the Sea.” The singing of Misses Ryke, Car- roll and Baker and Messrs. Ball and Robison, was very good and added greatly to the entertainment of the audience. Quite a nice sum was realized, which will be forwarded at once to the proper authorities of Brunswick. The ladies who got up and con ducted the. entertainment so admir able are entitled to great credit. The' Confederate War Journal.

The care of the State vs. Isaac Beard, indicted for murder, was the first case taken up. Judge Alexander and Mr. Arthur Patten represented the defendant. Solicitor Peeples waa alone in the prosecution. The jury rendered a verdict of guilty, but recommended the prisoner to mercy, which means life time imprisonment. The next case called was that of the State vs. W. B. Linton, assault with intent to murder. The defen dant failed to show np and his bond u forfeited. The entire afternoon was consumed in the trial of Joe and Scrap PoweP, the two negro girls who were caught burglarizing Mr. Brandon's Loose last summer. Mr. A. T.

Notwithstanding the dull times, money panic, etc., there is always a demand f.ir Thomas county real es tate and it is alwajs on the move. The Hopkins Real Estate Agency has sold within the past two weeks ten thousand two hundred dollars worth of Thomas county dirt. This is not bad for this sesson of the year, and shows that although the people have about lost confidence in the money policy of the government, and have grown disgusted with the di'atory proceedings of the Senate, to whom they look for relief, Thomas county real estate is yet considered a sound and safe investment. As will be seen by the council proceedings published elsewhere the city has taken steps to have bitching posts and racks placed in the differ ent yards used for that purpose and the chairman of the street committee was instructed to have the work done at once. We are glad to know that these conveniences will be supplied. They have long been needed in Them* asville. Atlanta will soon be in the midst o municipal election.
