Tbe World’s Champion Will Spar in Thomasville. of the most prosperous sections of the conntiy, but for years it has not been making much, if any, 'progress. In fact it has in many instances retror graded. Absence of reliable labor, big farma and the great cost of keep ing'them fenced in are the main caus es which have hampered and retarded 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 tion it is most heartily endorsed by the farmers. It enables them to raise better stock and better crepe at lest expense. We risk nothing in assert ing that if “no fence” carries the Duncanville district will, in a very few-years, be the most prosperous section ot Thomas county. It will be the garden spot of this section. There will be a tendency toward smaller farms and, consequently, better cul tivated forma The heavy- burden oi keeping up miles and miles of fences will be lifted from tbe shoulders of the foi mere. He will have, better stock, and it will cost him less, per head, to keep it. It the voters of the district will tom out next Thursday Duncanville and vote for “no fence* they will do the best days work ever done for their district Manager Spence closed an engage ment yesterday afternoon by wire with ]atnes J. Corbett, the championpugil- 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. Mr. George Turner, an old and highly esteemed citizen oi Jefferson county, Fla., died last Thursday. He left no children, his brother, Mr. Nat Tomer, and Mrs. Turner, a sister-in- law, both of this County, being his next of kin. He left an estate val ued at something like ten thousand dollars. . . Moee Fateh trill* good story about finding* possum in his chicken house a few nights since. Moee thought was a chicken thief with two leg*, and armed himself with a pistol to protect his fowls.’ He shot his poatumship through three times, and had to beat him with a stick .for some time before he was killed, Every man in tbe Duncanville dis trict, who is interested in the prosper ity and progress of his district, will vote for “no fence” on the 14th. Go out and vote for progress, for better stock, better crops and reform. We understand that an entertain ment to consist of music, recitations, tableaux and a short play, will be giv en at an early day for the benefit of the Guards. The Guards will soon have another payment to make on their ar mory and are in need of fuads. Mews Nelson & Tiemey, of the Masury Hotell,serve a midnight lunch the police every night free of charge. This is a very kind and thonghtful act on the part of the new management of the Masury and one that is fully appreciated by the force. Mr. VanDyke has been given relief at the depot. Since the new sched ule went on his work has been very heavy,in fact about double what it was beicre,and it was quite a relief to him when he was given an assistant. Mr. R. C, Blattner will hereafter be on duty at night, No, 5, the night traio, is by no means a slow train, notwithstanoiag it makes ail the stops. It baa about seven hours and a hall in which to make the run between here and Montgomery, which, when the stops are taken into consideration, makes it considerable* foster than 23, the fast train. Mamed, At the residence of Mrs. S. A Johnson, near Patten, Ga.', on Dec. 3rd, Mr. Cbas. Johnson was married to Miss L. H. Reaves, Addison Way, Esq., officiating. The groom is one of Thomas comity's prosperous young farmers and the bride a well known and popular school teacher in that section. The Tsxis-Entexfkise ex tendi congratulations. Mrs. Scott, treasurer of t he noble band of ladies who conducted a fes tival for the benefit of the Brunswick sufferers a few weeks ago, makes statement elcewhere showing what disposition was made of the funds raised, that those interested may see what became of the money. Treasurer's Report. The ladies who had charge of the lunch room tbe evening of the enter tainment for the benefit of the Bruns wick sufferers,' realized $29 50. After consulting together they decided to use the money for Brunswick refugees our midst They gave to Miss 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, Mrs. J. B. Scott, Treasurer. 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, and lean dolls, and all sorts of 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. Seats lor champion Jim Corbett’i appearance at the opera house, will go like hot cakes. Albany, Cairo, Ca milla,. Bainbridge, Montieello, Valdos ta, Quitman aud Boston, trill doubt less be well represented. Many pre fer seeing a sparring match by the champion of the world to a regular prize fight. Since the new schedule has been in force the run Of Conductors Ballard 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 and Jacksonville, going down one day and returning the next. 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 paradise park. The dly council took this matter np some time ago and ordered the seats placed, and every one thought the work would speedily done, bat notso. Thefew half rotten benches there now are ot very little service and betides are anything bat ornamental. We hope the work-will not longer be delayed, but that a sufficient number of new and comfortable seals win be added at once. Messrs. O. W. Pidoock and Thomas Crebbin have leased the large Quit- man Lumber Co. mill plant at Fid cook, Ga., and are now preparing ran it at its fullest capacity under the firm name of Crebbin & Co. Charlie Pidcock is the hustling superintendent of the B A A R. R. Tom Crebbin is the ex-foreman of the Quitman Lumber Co., and we think they will make a large success in their new un dertaking.—Moultrie Banner. Rev. A. M. Wynn. This much loved aod godly man will hold his last service during the present conference year on Sunday. Mr. Wynn has been located here three years, aod under the rules he could be returned here for another, year. 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 spared to work in the vineyard ol his Lord.' Josiah Carter is a mighty hard man to down. And when downed he wont stay down. Creditors forced the sus pension of the Atlanta Herald a few days ago, but in just one- week Carter and his associates come smilingly up to the scratch and flings'into the news paper arena of Atlanta, Vol. 1, No. 1 of the Daily . News. And the first issue is a daisy: It sparkles, like the Herald, the News will be the fear less champion ol the people’s rights. Long may the News wave, and may'it bring prosperity and additional fame to its founder and brainy backer, Josiah Carter. Receiver’s Sale. As will be teen by reference to our advertising columns all the lands and machinery belonging to tbe Georgia Phosphate and Mining Company will be eold by J. O. Perkins, receiver, at Boston, on Tuesday, December 19thl The property oontists of 1215 acres of good farming and phosphate lands and a large quantity of machinery, iron, piping, tools, etc. Parties de siring to invest in any of this property- should re id the advertisement for terms, etc. Speaking of the pretident’s mes sage, the Macon Telegraph says; With the wide differences which ex ist in the party it was impossible for Mr. Cleveland in his recommenda tions to please eveiy democrat. But he has done well. By speaking plain ly his own mind he makes a compro mise of ^differences as to the matters of which he treats more probable. Only five more days of the Georgia legislature. There is nrach to do within that period. That forty days session has dissolved into thin air. There 'never was anything in' it. Even fifty days will not do to wind up ail the business. Corbett will draw the largest audi ence ever in the opera house next Wednesday night. Manager Spence made a ten strike when he secured Corbett as an attrac tion at the opera house. 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 of the New York World, has a letter from that paper inquiring about War ren Emawell, who claims to be from this city and who ia now said to be among a lot of destitute Americans at the “Strangers Rest” in London, ail ot whom wish to return to their native country. They are starving and without shelter. Any one having any information about such a person will please give it to Mr. Mallette without delay. , Visitors will find the public library ou Crawford street a pleasant place to drop in and spend an hour or two. Miss Reid, the librarian, will be glati to extend ever; possible courtesy to them. They will find many standard books on the shelves, and a goo d supply of cuirent literature, embracing magazines, periodicals and newspapers on the tables. We hope the ex-confederates of Thomas county will not forget that reunion fixed by the W. D. Mitchell Post, U. C. V„ for tbe 23rd of this month. The time will soon be here. By the way, what is the committee doing, which was appointed to look after the details of the reunion I It high time they were aoting. More than one wedding is on the tapis.

GREER, County Judge. 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. RHEUMATISM emphatically a hlood disorder caused by inabi ity of the kidneys to throw off 10 00 30 00 33 00 5 00 3 00 10 00 9 00 500 00 certain poisons which accumulate : tissues about the joints and muscles. PPP, very simply, quickly and sorely cures this disease neutralizing impurities in the blood. Experience and science both endorse P P P, as the only infallible blood purifier known. “Orange Blossom” makes handsome, hap py women, because it makes healthy women. Sold by R. L. Hicks k Co.
