They Like It.
The committee appointed by the
City Council to visit Valdoeta and in
vestigate the new pumping process in
operation there, accompanied by Mr.
Wm. Campbell and one or two others,
went down Thursday morning on the
freight and returned at night. They
spent several hours in the lively little
city very pleasantly, and thoroughly
looked over the pumping'arrange
ment The system is the same as was
outlined in these columns a day or
two ago. It works to perfection, and
while the committee do not express
themselves it is very apparent that
they like it Valdosta has a small
plant,* and it is operated at very
small cost,, yet by the new process
they raise more water than both ot
our expensive pumps. The Valdosta
machinery only requires about ball
a cord of wood per day. to run it,
while curs consume about four and
a half cords per day. Two or three
men are required at our works, while
a oue armed man run* the whole busi
ness. Mayor Griffiu showed the c un
mittee what there is to be seen about
the new pump, which, however, ow
ing to its extreme simplicity, is very
little. There is an engine and air
pump combined, the latter being con
nected with an air reservoir, which,
iu turn, U connected with the pipe
which enters the well. This pipe
only one and a Lall inches in diam
eter and goes down alongside of the
pipe through which the water comes
up and which is three and a half
inches in size. At the bottom the
small pipe is turned up at that it
enters the larger one. When the
is turned on it forces the water out of
the top'of the large pipe in a large
v-Juare and wilh great, rapidity. The
machinery was run at various rates of
speed lor the liemfi 1 of the committee,
but the output of the water was ab mt
the same whether ruuuing at & high
or low rate. Experts pronounce it
the simplest as well as the most effec
tive process of pumping they ever
saw. It is certainly a great improves
ment over the way employed by

The Dog and Pony Show.
Prof. Gentry’s Equine and Canine
Paradox, better known probably as the
dog and pony show, played to large
audiences Friday night, yesterday af
ternoon and last night in this city.
Tberepuiationwhichprecedsdthis show
here was of the highest order and not
withstanding the weather- was bitter
cold the people flocked to see it by
hundreds. And we have yet to find
one who regretted the expo ure and
discomfort undergone to see the per
forming animals. The show is all
that is claimed for it, i. e, the best
thing of the kind on the road. The
dogs and ponies are remarkably intel
ligent and well trained and can do al
most anything but talk. They seem
to understand perfectly everything
said to them by the profecsor and
obey his every command with alccri
ty. The ponies march single file,
by twos, by fours, by six, in fact go
through many of the field movements
of a miVary company simply by com
mand. Each one knows his name
and responds promptly when called.
They performed many other interest
ing and difficult'feats which space will
not permit us to mention.
The dogs, however, are the best
part of the show. So intelligent do
they appear and so readily do they
understand everything said to them
that one would not be surprised to
hear ihem speak, in fact it is almost
expected of them. The leaping of the
grey hounds was one of the most in
teresting features of the show. One
of these beautiful animals cleared a
space of over thirty feet wilh apparent
ease. It must have required long
years of hard and patient work to
bring them up to the height of perfec
tion to which they have attained,
is a remarkable show and one that
w.li interest any oue. Every one who
saw it here speak in the highest terms
of it.
.More.About the Water Works.
Mr. Editor: .
In your Issue of yesterday, writing
of the visit of the Council’s committee
to Valdosta" to inspect the pumping
apparatus used at the .Valdosta .well,
yon.use the following language:
'Valdosta has a small plant, and it is
operated at vety small cost, yet by
the new process they raise more water
than both of oar expensive pumps.
The Valdosta . machinery only res
quires about half a cord of wood per
day lo^ run it, while oure consumes
about four and a half cords per day.
Two or three men are required at our
works, while a one armed man runs
the whole business.”

A correspondent writing from
Thomnsviiie to the News says:
‘J, UcC. Tharin, president oi the
Corccs cigar factory and manager oi
the La Cubana City C’gar factory, has
kept a level head throughout all the
money stringency and poor demand
for goods. By extraordinary effort,
and by virlure of the high quality of
his cigars, they have been sold and
both factories are running on fall
time. Mr. Tharin feels confident
that as times improve and the demand
ior cigars springs up again to a nor
mal point, the Thomasville factories
will have to steadily increase. their
output. He has found some prejudice
among dealers against Georgia made
cigars, but he has also fonnd this
prejudice giving way nnder the
knowledge of the unqualified merit ot
his companies’ brands.” .
This is a high bat a deserved com
pliment to Mr. Tharin. He has
managed the affairs of his company
with rare and consumate ability and
bosineai tact.
It Would Pay.
There is a party in Dixie who, we
understand, is makiog a profitable
business ot baling and shipping hay.
He has an ordinary hay press and
uses the hay grown right in the neigh,
borhood. Now, why could’ot the same
thing be done here with profit? There
is an abundance of hay raised here
and quite a lot ot it is saved, but if
the farmers knew that there was
Tare sale for it, more of it would be
cultivated and cured We are told by
parties who are'authority iu such
things, that the hay raised here is just
as good as any if properly cured. We
feel sure that if some oue would put
in a hay press and properly bale it he
would find a ready and profitable sale
for the product. If it can be success
fully done in Dixie on a small scale,
why not in Thomasville on a large
scale? It would pay both the fanner
and the dealer.
The Thomasville Variety Works is
one of the few manufacturing concerns
that did nut close down during the
dull summer months. They kept
lsrge force of hsnds at work and run
on full time all rammer. These
works do first clsss work at reasonable
prices and as a consequence have
built up a trade that is not confined to

We refer lo advertising. The holi
days are approaching rapidly and
those dealers who make the first and
best impressions on the public will
get the cream of the trade. Refer
ring to this subject a writer in the
News says:
■There is annually expended
America 3150,000,000 in advertising
of ail classes, the bu’k oi this money I
going into regular periodicals, and
daily and weekly newspapers. The
proven value of advertising in maga-
aad other national publications,
has no p’aca here, for we are discuas-
iog local advertising for local business
i, who obtain the bulk of their
business from the city in which they
do business, and from within a radius
of not exceeding 100 miles, the great
proportion coming from not exceed
ing ten miles.
I don’t own any newspaper, or auy
other publication. I have no interest
in periodical publishing, but I know
from my own experience, and from
the experience of hundreds of success
ful business men, that the daily and
weekly local newspaper is the only
indispensable medium for the adver
rising of local goods iu the holiday
season, or out of it, aud that other
methods, like circulars, dodgers, post*
and everything else, are more or
less desultory, and are valuable, it
valuable at all, when used in con
junction with the first-class, well-
written and well-displayed advertise
ment in the newspaper of character
and circulation.

impression that tho whole manage
ment of tho Thomaavillo system has
been by a set of reckless blockheads.
We know full well, Mr. Editor, that
no such motives actuated the writing
of the article,but it is always best that
the people should get suoh matters
down right, and so we have broken our
’e and rushed into print simply to
say, that the Valdosta pump has to
raise the water 110 feet. Our pumps
have lo raise it 212 feet The Val
dosta pump delivers the water into
barrel directly and its work is done,
c., it simply raises the water to the
surface. Our pumps force it into
standpipe aud throughout the
city, tumbling Sre protection. The
Vuld >eta arrangement is a pump
timp’y, no water works, nor fire pro
tection. Our arrangement is a com
plete water works system. _J5o not
understand me to say that our sys^
tern is perfect. We hope to improve
it. The pumping proper at Valdosta
f.»r 110 feet is certainly au improve
ment ou our pumps. To U3e that
mechanism for 212 feet complicates it
considerably and it remains to bo seen
low well it will work in onr wells.
We hope always for the best,

Augusta, Ga., Nov. 24.—Tho feat
ure of the last day of the Confederate
Veterans'^ reunion, at the Augusta
exposition, was the arrival of ex-Sena-
tor Wade Hampton upon the scene.
It was an unexpected event, but
furnished a happy occasion for a cli
max of enthusiasm that was touching*
ly sublime. The day was a veritable
lcve feast for the veterans, who were
here by the thousands from every
where. Cannon boomed in honor of
the hero of Carolina, and old soldiers
wept with emotion when Gen. Hamp
ton and Gen. Evans marched Bide by
side up to the stage in Music hall.
They were greeted by prolonged
shouts that were as lasting as. they
were vehement.
New York, Nov. 25.—General
Gordon delivered at Carnegie hall to
night his eloquent and patriotic lecture
on the 4 'Last Days of,the Confedera
cy.” The audience was unusually large.
The general was most heartily greet
ed and by the time he bad spoken a
dozen sentences his spontaneous clo*
quence had aroused the audience to
genuine enthusiasm, which never flag
ged. The lecture is full of anecdotes,
rich'in historical narrative and replete
with mellow pathos and stirring pats
riorism.
Judge Noah Davis introduced the
battle-scarred lecturer and at the con
tusion of the address General Sickles
offered a resolution that the thanks oi
the audience be tendered General
Gordon for his “eloquent, patriotic,
soul-stirring and instructive lecture.”
The motion was enthusiasticaly adopt
ed and followed by prolonged applause.
Oo the stage with General Gordon
were at least fifty gentlemen, and
among them some oi the most distm*
guisbed men of New York, as well as
several who had come from great diss
tances to be present. In every re
spect the occasion was a brilliant
success.

A correspondent of the Morning
News, writing from Jasper, Fla., thus
refers to a marriage in that place:
| A fashionable wedding took place
this evening at the Methodist church
a C o’clock. The groom was Dr. J.
E. Hanna and the bride Miss Jua; a
Euans. Rtv. W. S. ShoemtLer
officiated.
Dr. Hanna is a leading physician
and a popular young mao.
The bride is the accomplished
daughter of Kev. T. J. Euans, pastor
of the First Methodist church.
The attendants were Dr. L,B. Bou-
chell, best man, Miss Willie Hanna,
first bridesmaid, Mbs Maggie Hanna
and O. A, Worley, Mis3 Hensley, of
Lake City, and R. T, Radford, Mbs
Carrie White, 'of Live Oik, and W.
D. Stegall, of Metcalfe.
The ushers were Messrs. Horne aud
Reynolds.
The wedding march was played by
Miss Tompkins,
The church wa3 handsomely deco»
rated wilh chrysanthemums and hoi
lies. A large bell of rich flowers
hung above the handsome couple
while before the hymeneal altar.
Immediately after the ceremony
the bridal party and intimate friends
repaired to tho residence of the
groom’s father, Capt, J, E. Hanna,
where they enjoyed an elegant repast,
A19.30 o’clock the attendants and
numerous friends escorted the bride
and groom to the Georgia Southern
and Florida depot, where they took
their departure for an extended tour
through the north and northwest.
As the train steamed out the air was
full of old slippers, and showers of
rough rice fell upon the heads of the
happy couple.
Dr. Hanna has many friends in
Thomasville and Thomas county who
will join us in wishing for him and
his fair young bride many long years
of happiness and prosperity.
Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 26.—The
town of Troy, forty miles South of this
city, was partly destroyed by fire this
morning, entailing a loss aggregating
between $50,000 and $55,000, upon
which there is insurance betwwen $12,-
000 and $15,000.
It is thought that the fire resulted
from sparks from an engine of the
Alabama Midland road, which made
us way into fodder in the warehouse
of Joseph Bell, near the depot.
The new Parker house was totally
destroyed with all Its contents. The
loss on it is $9,000 partly covered by
insurance.
The court house was also badly
damaged.
Referring to the free list of the new
tariff a dispatch from Washington
says:
It is stated that the free list'will be
a surprise to the country. It will in
clude wool, iron ore, coal, cotton ties,
copper, lumber, chocolate, salt, bind
ing twine, flax, lead, ore, freestone,
granite, sandstone, limestone and
other building or monumental stone,
except marble, unmanufactured or un
dressed, and many other articles of
less importance to the large commer
cial interests.
The best information to-night is
that .steel rails will probably be put
$8 or $10 a tOD, the smaller figures
representing a tart IT oi 40 per cent, ad
valorem, while rails are selling at their
present price of $20. Rails will be
one ot the few articles upon which a
specific duty will be retained.
