Mr R C.* Ingalls returned home yesterday from a trip to Chicago and ihd World’s Fair. He says he saw everything that was to be seen- Messrs. Parker & Montgomery have moved their goods into the store At 107 Broad street, where they will be glad to have their friends and customers call. The Misses Wethenngton have opened their dressmaking parlors over the express office, in Ball’s new store, where they will be pleased to see their old customers as well as new ones.

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; copied by Mrs. Jones and children rad a sifter. They- barely had time 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 right' It most have been set by an iuceudiary, bat foe what motive can not be imagined. Mrs. Jones has had no trouble with servants, neigh* bora or anyone cite and has ho idea what could have prompted any one lo burn her house. Her loss is fair ly well covered by insurance as fol lows: $2,500 in the Southern Mutual on the.house, $700 iu the Hartford on furniture, and $100 in the same company on wearing apparel. Messrs.

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 ' the publ'c.

The following lines were handed ns yesterday by a well known young bus iness man.

For best success we would ndvise, . 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, and I think he will hear very soon a still small voice near the tnbo on Son- day clearly saying, make a way cVar and the “Means” need not help you and others to oppress those who need to serve man and mast bear oppres sion in silence while the iron is eating into their sonis. No, Mr. Editor, we Americans are not a bad people, but we are not yet well disciplined either for the good of ourselves or our fellow It is only when “Public Opin ion” now and then takes the trouble to work pro bono publico, and scorns both earthly grid and silver, that we goto the rescue of the really feeble •nddO'not smile upon the successful wrong doer who grows fat and strong through oar apathy of duty. The minister and chnrch members that are afraid to stand up for the reverence and jast does to the church they have connected themselves with, have cer tainly made a mistake in their calling. Their murion is always open but where are the embassadors. Are they at the poet of duty?

There can always be some way found to do unto others as we would like them to do unto us. A reasonable and jast employer, as a rale, finds a faithful employee. Let us net only distrust the one who has no time to open a book, but let us distrust the man, woman and child that knows its duty, and pats everything together to form a great stone to prevent him or her doing it. The same grains of sand that made the stone can be crashed by n noble will power to its own infinitesimal weakness and be scattered to the tour winds of Heaven.
