The alarm was: sounded about half
past one o’clock, but owing to the dis
tance from town the department
did not respond. The house was oo;

to get'out of the horning building,
and by the time the neighbors arrived
the flames had made snch rapid . pro*
gross that it was impossible to save
anything except. a ieW things in the
front-part of the house, including the
piano,' The fire started iu the kitchen,
but its .origin is a mystery. There
had been no fire in the kitchen since
noon pf the day before and it could
nqt have caught from the stove or a
defective flue. Before retiring for
the night the kitchen was visited by
some of the occupants and examined
closely to see that no fire was about
the place. Everything naa luuud all

not be imagined. Mrs. Jones has

make an appeal through your paper
id behalf of'our society. We, have
tuydah unusual amount of sickness
the-past summer. Io one family alone
we haveexpended over $35 within a
few weeks. Some of this went to pay
nurses as the entire family was ill.
Oneof onr best physicians attended
the family^ making several calls daily.
This is only one case of many similar
ones that has claimed our time and
attention this summer. Until last
month we have had funds sufficient
cany ou our work. Our funds are
falling short, and if the. Work is kept
up, we must have more help. What
ask for now, what is most needed,
mere members. Two years ago wc
had 150 members. Of this number
have died, 96 have moved away
and 10 have qnit. We now have 115
members. The dues are oqjy 10
cents per month, though some volun
tarily pay more. We have collected,
to this time, this year, $164 00. I
have given these figures so the public
may see what we are doing. Our
society u strictly non-sectarian; we aid
those who are found worthy with
out regard to creed. Surely there are
many people who would not object to
paying to cents per month in such a
cause. Our collector goes around
once a month to collect this small
amount. Will not generous, big
heaited Thomasville come forward
and assist us in the charitable work
which our society is engaged ? Wc
ought to have three hundred members
who would pay 10 cents a month.
Give us this number and we will con
tinue to relieve the distress ot those
whose condition appeals to the charity

Very respectfully.

The use of the “Tium-EzTSBrnts*,”
Stanly's Business College.
In another column of this morning’s
paper will be found an advertisement
of the above college, which is located
in Thomasville. The eorriculam of
this institotion embraces book-keep
ing, telegraphy, shorthand and type
writing, each of which is thoroughly
taught. Parties desiring to enter
business college would do well to call
on Prof. G. W. H. -Stanly, president.
There is one person, at .least, in
Tnomaaville, who never loses interest
tho library association, and who
never omits an opportunity to aid the
institution. We refer to the compes
tent and faithful librarian, Miss Etta
Reid. No institution ever had
more faithful and zealous friend and
advocate. Min Etta sometime since
resolved in her own mind that tV
handsome bnilding should be repaint
ed. And it needed it. She. ha.
been moving in the matter, and we
hope the board of directors and others
will aid her in the good work. Miss
Bold recently wrote to Mr. John W.
Masary, the great paint manufacturer,
and who has shown his interest in
Thomasville in various and substan
tial ways, asking him for a contribu
tion. With that liberality which
characterizes Mr. Mrsury when ap
pealed to in the interest of any laud
able object, that gentleman promptly
forwarded Mias Beid his cheek for
$2d to aid in the work. The friends
of the institution will appreciate this
generous act of Mr. Masury.
We ate quite sure that it fs only
neceasory to call attention to the ap
peal of Miss Jnlia Stark, secretary ot
the General Benevolent Bactety, as it
appears elsewhere, io order to secure
general response to that appeal.
The General Benevolent Society* is
purely non-sectarian. It is composed
of noble, self-sacrificing women of all
denominations. They are engaged in
the noble work known charity. The
society wants members, and it should
have them. There are very few who
caonot afford to pay ten cents
a month into this charity fund. We
know of no organization, no band
of women, who should receive more
sympathy and encouragement than
the noble women of this place who
havo for yean, without ostentation or
display, been quietly dispensing
charity and looking after the sick and
needy. God bljes them and their
noble work.
We would thus early remind the
old confederates of Thomas county
that there will be ao important meet
ing of the W. D. Mitchell Post Con
federate Veterans in Thomasville on-
the 13rd of December. Erejfy old
soldier in the comity and adjoining
conoties ioo will be welcome. The
occasion will be made donbly inter
esting by the presence of General
Evans, commander is chief of
confederate veterans in Georgia. We
hope to see a grand reunion of the old
heroes here on thesyrd of December,
potft forget the day.
Mb. Editob:
Yonr very puzzled, stupid corres-
mdent asks for help to solve this
riddle. Where does the lady find
herself "at” after she is restored to the
rights and privileges of the church?
I was obtuse enough to think all this
time outride the Presbyterian dopr,
that that was just what the good peo
ple inside were trying to do. They
srere not- only trying to give her the
rights and privileges, lint every other
bread winner who was not with
"means” who did not poeoaa a martyr.
It requires Patriok.who makes jokes, or
John Bull, who cannot see Paddy’s
Balls, to make this clear to an ignor
amus like the writer, who is not un
der the Synod. Can sho bo in the
office and at the same time be restored
ail the rights and privileges of the
Presbyterian church? To -bebiqnis
tious :ia not for man or woman in
this dense, dark world. Now Paddy
and Bridget say: It we cannot have
the rights and privileges of our church
we cannot serve you. We are not
worthy of yonr hire. Broken and
neglected bows to God and man are
not stepping stones to a faithful ser
vice. My church knows no negieot,
inn t serve my church and the
Lord will refresh me, and I can serve
you better. My conscience loses none
its sensibility when I keep near
my religions duty. I gain heavenly
wisdom that he'ps me to be a better
citizen of the woild, and I find my
yoke is not so heavy to bear when I
partake of the Lord'a blessed privi
leges every Sunday, and thus mark
ing the first day of each week with
the threads of golden benefits that are
not the gift of man.
It seems that the decision of the
Synod should bo a stimulus to every
chnrch body to wake up its renegade
members. Any assembly of men who
are not far sighted enough to see that
those who have not strength enough
to keep the straight way should be
propped up, should yield their power
to those who have good right and act
pon it. Instead of folding our
hands, let the churches be roused to
stronger sense of honor, reverence
and duty to the Lord’s house.
What sensible man, woman or child
thinks the Presbyterian church was
persecuting its derilect members when
it was prosecuting a vital part of its
duty?
If the churches do not protect their
bread winners from the unreasonable
demands of irreligious capitalists and
employers, the state will certainly
have to throw its protecting arm
around those who are obliged to work
daily, and are not allowed to have rest
and time for the service ot the Lord
when they have accepted His com
mand. If there is no help for such
oppression, then America will be a
doomed country before sho has be
come a nation. To the real servant
of the Lord, Sunday is both a day of
worship and rest. To the worldling
it is jast as necessary. Let the cm
ployer pot himself in the young wo
man’s place, and keep himself at the
hollow tube seven days in. the week,
