J ack Curtright Dead.
After a long lingering illness of
me months duration death claimed
as its victim yesterday morning one of
Thomasville most highly esteemed
young business men and citizen, Mr.
J. r. Curtright
Pew deaths have ever occurred in
Thomasville which caused such uni
versal sadness.* Jack Curtright was
known and loved by every one, and
none heard the. tad news yesterday
morning without a feeling of sorrow
and deep regret
Mr. Cnrtright moved from Atlanta
to ThomasviUoa.few years ago for the
benefit of his health, and engaged in
business. As the head of the firm of
Cnrtright & Daniel, he soon worked
np, by straight forward, honest busi
ness methods, a large and growing
business. Although coming here a
stranger it was bnt a short time until
our people saw in the young business
man who hadbutreoently moved into
their midst all those elements which
go to make Up the true gentleman,
and from that timo on he was held
in the highest esteem by all. We do
not be’ieve that be had a single enemy,
but on the- contrary enjoyed, in the
highest sense,the confidence and friend
ship of every one. Last winter he bad
an attack of the grip, which so injured
his already weak lungs that he never
regained his health and strength.
For the last few weeks he grew rapid
ly weaker, and for the last few days
was unable to leave his bed. He bore
his sufferings with rare patience and
resignation, and yesterday morning
when the dread summons came he
was found ready.
Mr. Curtright leaves a wife and
little baby, a mother and two sisters
to monrn his death. All but the
two latter were with him throughout
his illness and death and ministered
to his every want with loving hands.
His sisters, Mrs. McClure, of Oxford,
and Mrs. Candler, of L&Grange, were
telegraphed for, but death camo to
their brother hsfore their arrival.
The remains will be taken to La*»
Grange for interment to day, leaving
here on the 1:10 Alabama Midlatd
traio and going via Montgomery.
There wid bo a short funeral service
at the house at 11;30 o'clock this
morning
To the bereaved widow and fatherless
babe, the sorrow stricken mother and
sisters, we wouLL extend our deepest
sympathy.—Daily T.-E. Nov. 29.
The “Willows,*’ Mrs T. J. Young'i
elegant private boarding house, has
already a very pleasant party* of
s for the winter. Among the
latest to arrive there are Mrs. C. H.,
Chapman, Mrs. C. S Chase, and Miss
Alice S. Chase, of \Detroit, Mich.
The Willows is ono of the most pop
ular houses in tho town, and under
Mis. Young’s hospitable and liberal
management always has a large
patronage.
A telegram was received here yes-«
terday from Washington, D. O., con
veying the sad intelligence that Mrs"
D. B. Gottwals was dead. Mrs Got-
.vals was formerly Miss Lona Mimtns,
daughter of Mr. Joshua Mimms,
well-known citizen of this county,
and she has many friends here who
will bo pained to learn of her death.
It is not known whether the remains
will be brought here for interment ot
Letter From Atlanta.
Around The City.
President Tharin, o! the Corccs
Cigar Co , and manager of the Cu
bans City Cigar Co , chaperoned a
party of prominent railway magnates
around the city yesterday. In hand
some turnouts and behind spanking
teams, President Plant and a number
of gentlemen prominent in the Plant
system and the Southern Express Co.,
were driven to Cubana City and
shown through the lactory. Subse
quently they were driven around the
many new and stylish residences
which have been erected here daring
the year. A Dumber of gentlemen
of the city accompanied the party,
It is needless, perhaps, to eay that tie
visitors were pleased and perhaps
surprised, to see so many evidences of
prosperity in thip, the hardest year
for years. Mr- Tharin should, and
will, receive the thanks of all for his
thought fulness and tact in receiving
and entertaining the gentlemen of the
Plant party.
Times»Enterpris e:-
There is an old adage that “it is
better late than never.” But some
things had better be “never”, than even
‘•late.”
Sickness prevented my dull quill
from inflicting your readers with an
earlier communication. I have been
a three-weeks victim of the tyranny of
King La Grippe. He has held high
carnival with Georgia's law makers.
There Is such a little that a povin-
dal pen can* give with breezy fresh
ness, afterthe daily legislative glean
ings of the metropolitan reporters,
that it seems a waste of ink, paper and
time to write.
I notice that in your issue of the
25th inst. you did me the great kind
ness to attribute to my effort “an
amendment to the Fleming-school bill
allowing county boards of school
commissioners to keep schools going
the first six months of next year if
they see proper to do so.”
I was heartily in favor of that
amendment, hut it was my colleague,
Mr. Roddenbery, who proposed that
amendment aod to him is due the
credit of having that amendment be
come a part of the act
It is true that I introduced a bill on
the line of the act, but after the report
of the joint committee of both Rouses
on the amount oi money m the treas
ury available for school purposes, I
saw no reason for postponement ol
schools
The legislature is being dined in
squads by “His Excellency, the gover
nor.” My colleague hobnobbed with
the State's chief executive on yesterday
and your correspondent is among the'
invited guesis of to-day. Georgia's
“School Goyernoi” has a reputation
as an enteriaiutr.
The legislature will leave to-morrow
fer the “Lowell of the South” to at
tend her great exposition.
It may not be generally known
that the mills of Augusta use 25 per
cent, of all the cotton manufactured
in the South.
The legislature will not adjourn
belorc the i3*.h of December. There
is a good deal oi “red tape” humbugs
guy hanging around the skirts, of
th - Georgia legislature It is no
orse here probably than m other
legislative assemblies. But it does
seem that in this day of rapid busi-
methods and dispatch that our
legislative machinery is cumbersome.
This is a working body and the faults
are consututional aod the present
Hoube and Seuate arc in no way re-»
poosible for “tho law’s delay” or
rather the delay in making the laws.
The committees are kept busy. Es-»
pecially is this true of the general
judiciary. J, L H,
not.
\ye are indebted to Mr. Bowker
for a late copy of the Hawaii Star,
published at Honolulu. It is dated
November 8tb, and is fall of inters
e3liog reading matter: The Star is
supporting the new provisional gov
ernment. The paper contains -the
names of all the officers of the new
government, from President Dole
down. Among them we notice the
name of Mr. C. T. Rogers, Secretary
Executive and Advisory Council.
Mr. Rogers ia a brothersin-Iaw of Mr.
Bowker. He has grown rich in Hon
olulu, having lived there for twenty-
five years.
A Wise Merchant
A well known Jacksonville mer
chant is reported as saying. “It there
ever was a time ia my business exs
perience when I needed printers ink,
that lime ia now, when we are all
fighting for trade. No, sir; you need
have no fears of my cutting expenses
at that end of the line. Times as we
are now experiencing, I want to
catch the eyes and ears of the public,
and realize that this can be done only
through the newspapers.”
We commend the wise conclusions
of tbw gentleman to the business men
of Thomssville It is worthy of their
consideration.
The merchants ot Savannah have
inaugurated a novel Echeme to bring
trade to that city. They have ois
ganized themselves into an associa
tion, which has for its object the run
ning of excursion trains from all sec
tions of the country into Savannah at
different times, in order to enable the
country merchants to visit that city
and purchase their goods, at small
expense. The first one of these ex
cursions will he run on Tuesday, De
cember the 5th, from Gainesville, Fla.,
and intermediate points. The prices
have been pat down extremely low,
and excursionists will be allowed two
days in the city, .whioh will enable all
to transact what business they have
and then allow some time for enjoy*
ment. On excursion days* the mer
chants will offer special bargain sales
and gooda.wiil be sold lower than at
any other time. An excursion will
doubtless be run from Thomasville at
an early day. The scheme strikes us
as being a good one and-we Bate no
doubt but that the merchants of tho
Forest City will reap a rich harvest
as a resalt of their enterprise and pro-
gre-alYenew. ffX.
. The Boys Heard From.
We noticed three wagons passing
through tho street yesterday equipped
for a visit to the Gulf coast, and on in
quiring found that the party en route
were Messrs. J. D. Pittman, Duncan
Barbee, J. M. Parker, Chas. C. Pitt
man, J. B. Chisholm, Jr., S. M. Ba
ker, Jr., and A. McDoug&ld, of
Tbomasville, Ga. They were a fine

President S. G. McLendon, of the
Abbeville Southern, received a tele
gram yestekday saying that the first
shriek of a locomotive whistle was
heard in Abbeville for the first time
at a few minutes past five o'clock on
Monday afternoon. This new road,
which is now completed, is a part of
the Plant System and a dose ally of
the Alabama Midland, and of which
rood it will be a profitable feeder.
Mr, Plant and his Iparty will go over

Chas Slade’s Performance.
A Faithful Newspaper Man.
The epidemic at Brunswick is prao*
tically over and those who ran from
the .disease are returning homo and
resuming business. Soon the fair
City by the Sea will be herself again*
The well-known pluck and courage of
her citizjns guarantee this. But to
those noble men and women who
stayed by their city throughout the
scourge, stared death in the face
every day,8aw their (Heads stricken
and dying continually, - is due the
highest praise. Prominent among
these we would mention the Times-
Enterprise's correspondent, Mr. C.
W. Dexning. He represented a num
ber of leading papers of the country,
north and south, and it was by his
labor that the people of the country
wero'kept posted as to the progress of
the disease and the condition of the
sufferers. He has stood by his post
working night and day with death
lorkiog in eveiy shadow, not know
ing but that ho, himself, would be the
next victim. Brunswick never had a
stauncher or more devoted friend
than this young newspaper man. His
reports were always based upon* facts
and free from sensationalism, which
stamps him as a faithful and consci
entious reporter. He deserves the
unstinted praise of every one for his
heroism and fidelity to duty, and
wo know that his efforts are appreci
ated fully, not only by the ontaide
world, but by the people of his own
scourge swept city as well.
Distinguished Visitors.
Mr. H. B. Plant, president ot the
Plant system, accompanied by a num
ber of the officials of this great system,
arrived in the city yesteiday about
ono o’clock from Albany. They oc
cupied four elegant private cars.
The party spent yesterday afternoon
and Iasi night in the city looking over
the company’s property and enjoying
the balmy atmosphere and splendid
drives. The following gentlemen
were iu the party;
H. B. Piant, President; H. S.
Haines, Vice-President; R. G. Erwin,
General Counsel; D. F. Jack, Assis

A special tram will leave here with
the party this morning for Abbeville
and Montgomery. We trust their
stay here was a pleasant one.
A Sensible Suggestion.
We find the following in the la9t
issue of the Floridian: 1 v '-v
We, the farmers of Leon county, at
least, want what we eat .and _ wear at
lower prices. There is no use in beat
ing the devil around the bush any
longer by telling ns that high freights
will not allow the merchant to sell
his wares to ns any lower. Garry out
and put into practical effect the head
of this article.
Cambelle, we are told, has a fine
and very deep harbor—better than
St. Marks ever had. It is said that
vessels of large tonnage can almost
“dump up” to shore.
Soon the railroad to this point will
be in operation, and, with every per
son who buys goods of any description,
we call upon the board of Tallahas
see to take this matter in hand in
business way and open/up. a co.rea-
pondenoe with steamships, schooners
or brigs that will bring us relief from
the extravagantly high freight rates
that are added to our Bhirting, sugar,
and, in fact, everything else that we
eat and wear.
there was a time when low gulf
freight rates helped us. Lotus have
a repetition of them.
W. H. Lawrence.
The completion oi the road to Car-
abelle will doubtless be followed by a
line of veasela to New Orleans. At
New Orleans heavy western products
such as bacon, flour and grain are
laid down at a mere nominal cost.
With a line of vessels to Carabelle
these products could be laid down in
Thomasville, if the new road is ex
tended here, cheaper than these goods
oonld be delivered at any point in
Georgia. The question of the build
ing of this line on to Thomasville is
an important one. and one which
should engage the earnest attention
of our business men. It would make
this the best and cheapest wholesale
market for many of the leading pro
ducts of the country in the state. The
question we repeat ia worthy the care
ful consideration and earnest atten-'
tion of every citizen of Thomasville.
The original design of the projectors
of the road was to build to this place
and perhaps further North. There
is no reason if the proper steps ore
taken why this plan should not be
carried out

A good audience was out at the
opera house Monday night to witness
the performance ot Dr, Chas Slade,
who was advertised as a mysterious
being, who has mystified the world at
large by his peculiar superhum au
spirit power. The street bills ans
nouced that “a small admission would
be charged to defray expenses,” and
in some manner it became circulated
that the charges would be 25 and 35
cents, but when you got to the door
it was 50 cents or no go. Some few
would not pay this and leit, but the
great majority went in.
The people expected to see an ex
hibition of spirit materializations, roar*,
velous human visions, etc,, but in this
they were disappointed. Mr. Slade is
nothing more nor less than a sleight of
hand .performer, but he is an expert in
his line. The feats performed by him
were truly marvelous and the audience,
with perhaps one or two exceptions,
was well pleased with the entertain
ment. His cabinet tricks, or “experi
ments” as he called them, were es
pecially good and baffled the closest
scrutiny oi the committee of citizens
who occupied the stage. He consum
ed most of his time in talking and
preliminaries, exhibiting* only about a
hall doz:n “experiments" during the
evening, bu’, as stated above, they
were extremely difficult and were
splendidly executed. We doubt if so
many would have attended had they
known the character ol the entertain
ment, but they were well entertained
and do not regret the time or money
spent in seeing it.
Taken Home for Interment.
The remains of Mr. J. T. Curt-
right, whose sad death was announced
in these columns yesterday morning,
were taken to his old home in La
Grange yesterday for interment. A
short but impressive service was held
at the house yesterday morning by
Rev. Mr. Wynn, after which the re
mains were escorted to the depot by a
number of the friends of the deceased.
Accompanied by wife, baby, mother
and sister, and Mr. Frank H. Smith,
all that was mortal of poor Jack
Curtright was taken from there to
his old home in LaGrange, where
they will b3 tenderly laid away. May
the turf rest very lightly over the
body of our departed friend.
Thomasville will be interested in
the following from the Floridian ;
“It is said that track laying on the
O., T. & G. will be. completed on De
ceinber 10. Col W. A. Simmons has
ordered all the equipments to be here
by Demcember 15, and our new rail
road to deep water on the gulf will be
opened from that date. The company
has purchased a first-dass steamer to
ply between Carrabelle and Apalachi
cola, connecting at former port with
all trains to and from Tallahassee.”
The fishing at Carabelle is said to
be the noest on the coast. With close
schedules ihe trip can be made in a
very short lime.
A Tobacco Warehouse.
Thomasville is to soon to have wbat
she greatly needs, that is, a tobacco
warehouse. Mr. H, j. Fenton, of
Quincy, Fla., has been in the city a
day or two for thc'purposc of making
arrangements to go into this business
here at an early day. He succeeded
in perfecting the necessary arrange
ments at La Cubana, and after rent
ing a house, returned to Quincy -Tues
day to move his family aud furniture
up here. Mr. Fenton went to Quincy
from New York when the tobacco
business first started there several
years age, and until one year ago was
buyerand manager of the tobacco'
department of the Owl Cigar Co.
One year ago he started the leaf bus
iness there for himself This business
he proposes to move to Thomasville.
A warehouse for domestic tobacco has
been needed badly in the past in
Thomasville and the growers will
gladly welcome Mr. Fentoo.. He will
return next week with his family and
will occupy the cottage on corner ,of
Smith avenue aud Hansell street as a
residence. : ,*. L
