making much, if any, 'progress. In
fact it has in many instances retror

big farma and the great cost of keep

that fertile and desirable section of
the coonty. There is an opportunity
now to redeem that district, and we
believe the five men of that section
of the ooQoty will do it. Wherever
the “no fence” law has been in opera

the farmers. It enables them to raise
better stock and better crepe at lest
expense. We risk nothing in assert

few-years, be the most prosperous

Manager Spence closed an engage
ment yesterday afternoon by wire with

ist of the world, the man who knocked
John L. Sullivan out, and is now
under contract to fight Mitchell, the
Englishman, in Jacksonville in Janua
ry, for a sparring . exhibition in the
Thomasville opera house' on next
Wednesday night, the 13th inst. Cor
bett has been giving a series of spar-;
ring exhibitions in the principal cities
in the conntiy for some weeks past.
He is now on his way to Jacksonville
to go in training for his fight with
Mitchell, and his Thomasville engage
ment will probably be his last'before
the great fight. Manager Spence bad
to put up a big guarantee 10 get this
attraction, but be has seemed a draw
ing card. Tbe bouse win not be large
enough to hold the crowd. There is
doubt but that itwill be the biggest
audience ever in the house.'
Remember the Doll Bazur comes
off next Tuesday and Wednesday.
The proceeds go to the new Baptist
church. Of course everybody will
patronize the entertainment. It richly
deserves patronage.

Treasurer's Report.
The ladies who had charge of the

wick sufferers,' realized $29 50. After
consulting together they decided to
use the money for Brunswick refugees

Etta Reid $19.00 of the amount to
assist two little orphans in Brunswick
and to tbe Beneyolent Society they
gave the $19-50, (through Mrs.
Hayes) to assist two.needy Brunswick
families,

Iu singling out the orators in the
legislature, the Constitution has this
say about the junior member from
Thomas:
Mr. ;Roddenberry, of Thomas, is
always certain to be- heard when the
house is slim and some apparently
flippant leaves of absence are under
consideration. Then he rises np in
wrath. He rests one hand on his
desk, raises the other to high noon
and, in loud, ringing tones that
seem incongruous with his youthful
aspect, he tells the recreant statesman
that it is their husiness to stay here
and make laws, not to go gallivant
ing nbont the state. This is n little
hobby with Mr. Roddenberry, and a
good one. But be is a good ail around
speaker and considered as an orator
simply—one of the very best on the
floor.
We understand that the Doll Bazarr
for the benefit of the Baptist church
will be open in a vacant store on
Bro-d street Dext Tuesday, The
zarr will run two days. There will
big dolls, and little dolls, fat dolls,

suitable for children, Santa Claus
will make his headquarters, for the
time being, at the Doll Bazarr. We
haven’t room or time to-day to tell
you about lhat doll bride, the hand
some, happy groom and the dozen
attendants. These wi-1 be noticed
later.

champion of the world to a regular

Since the new schedule has been in

and Croom, who have for years been
running on 03 and 38 between here
and Waycross and between here and
Montieello, has been changed. They
now ran throngh between Thomasville

The Hotel Brighton opened yester
day for the season. Capt Pratt, the
proprietor, has -made many improve
ments in the interer arrangement
the hotel since last season and the
whole house has been thoroughly ren
ovated and improve! in every respect.
It is a nice comfortable boose and we
have no doubt will have a prosperous
season.
And still there are no new seats

this matter np some time ago and
ordered the seats placed, and every
one thought the work would

half rotten benches there now are
ot very little service and betides are

the work-will not longer be delayed,
but that a sufficient number of new

This much loved aod godly man
will hold his last service during the

Mr. Wynn has been located here three
years, aod under the rules he could

We are quite sure we but express the
wish of not only his own congregation,
but also that of other denominations
and the public generally, when .saying
we sincerely hope Mr. Wynn will be
sent back to Thomasvile for another
year. Kind, gentle, loving, he goes
about preaching by example as well
as precept, drawing men to him as
well as into the church. His singular
ly pure life and devotion to the work
ot the Master, Has endeared him to the
citizens of Thomasville, to the'young
and the old, godly and ungodly, to
the rich and poor. May be be long

Speaking of the pretident’s mes

With the wide differences which ex

Corbett will draw the largest audi

Manager Spence made a ten strike
when he secured Corbett as an attrac

We regret very much to learn of
the recent destruction of the barn and
sugar shed belonging to Mr. P. L.
Craigmiles, about four miles from
town, by fire. Tbe bam contained
the entire year's crop, farming imple
ments, etc-, two males and about one
hundred goats. All bat about forty
goats and one mule were destroyed
with the building. The fire was at
midnight, the wind was high and it
required the hardest kind of work to
save the smoke house and dwelling.
Mr. Craigmiles thinks the fire was the
work of an [incendiary. He ha? no
insurance and the less * falls very
heavily upon him.
There was a good deal of Cotbelt
talk on the streets yesterday.
“I shall go to see the spatting
match,” said one gentleman, “but I
would not go to see a regular fight.”
There is a general desire on the
part of the public to see the man who
knocked John Sullivan out, and the
man who holds the championship of
the world, and will hold it, unless
Mitchell whips Corbett at Jackson
ville. The Englishman is a hard
hitter, said to be the best man in
England, and he will doubtless inter
est Corbett for several rounds, but
the American will do him up in the
end. At least that is the genera]
opinion.
Mr. E. M. Ma'lette, correspondent

please give it to Mr. Mallette without

Jacksonville, Fla., Dsc. 0.—It has
finally been derided that Corbett will
be trained at Mayport for ins fight
with Mitchell. Delaney decided in
favor of Mayport after paying a visit
to St.'Augustine, and inspecting the
facilities offered by that piece. May-
port is at the month of the St. Johce
river, end is an ideal place for train
ing quarters. There are miles of
beach and Corbstt can enjoy a plunge
in old ocean whenever he desires. It
ia understood that the necessary par
aphernalia will be sent down to May-
port immediately, and everything pat
in readiness for Corbett, who is ex
pected in about ten days. Mrs. - Cor
bett will prepare her husband's meals
while he is training. Opposition to
the fight seems to have died out. At
least nothing is heard from those who
have been opposing it.'

Green Cove Springs, Clay Co.,
Fla., May 23d, 1891.
Gentlemen:—Twenty-three year3 ago I was
attacked with infiamatory rheumatism, 1
was attended by tbe most eminont physi
cians in the laud, i visited the great Sara
toga Springs, N Y., and the noted Hot
Springs ot Arkansas, and many other water
ing places, and always consulting with the
local physician for directions; finally came
to Florida ten years ago.
About two years ago I bad a severe attach
of rheumatism, was confined to my room foe
twelve weeks and during tbe time I was
induced to try P P P [Prickly Ash Poke
Root and Potassium], knowing that each
ingredient was good tor impurities of the
blood, after using two small bottles I was
relieved; at four different times since I have
had slight attacks and I have each time
taken two small bottles of P P P, and been
relieved, and I consider it tbe best medicine
of its kind.
Respectfully,
J. F. GREER.
