A War Relic.
Ever; no* and then some zoavroir
of the late war -torn, qp. Here is it
case ie point: At the battle of the
wilderness, where the best blood of
the south and north crimsoned - that
blood; battle field; a young Georgian,
Lieutenant J. 0. L. Mounger, of tne
Brooks count; Rifles, was in the
front ranka of the bo;e in gra;. Like
man; other southern youths he^fell,
pierced b; a deadl; minnie ball, and
breathed out a life given as a willing
sacrifice on the al tar of his oonatry.
He had a friend in the same compa
ny, Mr. D. C. Raine;, of Thomas
count;. The confederate lines were
forced back and the-yonng lieutenant
dying, or perhape already dead, was
left within the lines or the enemy.
Mr. Raine; subsequently picked up,
and has sides preserved, a copy of
“Hardee’s Infsntr; Tactics,” the
property of Lieutenant Mouogtir. His
name, written by himeell, is still dim'
ly traceable on the fly leaf oi the
.book.
The book is con-ilerab'y worn bat
is still in a good stito of preserva
tion. Mr. Rainey would like to re
turn the book to Miss Fannie Moun
ger, a sister of his dead comrade. Miss
Mounger lives in Quitman.
Mr. ILincy was a member of Go.
H. Dili Gjl Regiment, and fought all
through the war. Cul Mounger,
father of Lieutenant Monnger, was
hil'clcn the picket line, and Tom
Mounger, a brother of the lieutenant,
fell at thearuio in iiueut with hie
brother. Mr. El Frank iu of this
county, saw the two brothers fall. In
its battle Captain Cickroll, com
undsd Co* H
M’si Mounger will’ doubt css bo
ltdtihave this wir stained book,

brother returned to her.
HIS LIFE PROLONGED.
Henry Spencer Will Not Hang
Friday. . -
We regret to learn that « little ton
of Mr. Oo z, living near town, was
lly burned yeiterday morning.
It seems the little fellow was around
a Gre where they were scalding some
when, by some means, his c’oth-
ing took fire. His lower limbs were
badly burned.
There
a very geueral expression
of regret ih-at the public athool bill
for rhnraasvilte pasted by the legisla
ture should prove to be unconstitu
tional. Mayor Hopkins has been
using the wires freely communicating
with the governor, but it looks like
the bill will be vetoed. '.Veil, we can
try again.
Tom Chastuin, John Hale, Jim and
Elly Murphy returned from Jt-Gcrson
county, Fioridajcsterday, where they
have been on a deer hunt. They
killed pine, sever of them being eld
bucks. They were selling tie hums
iu town yesterday. In killing the
nine deer there were two shots that
missed. This makes a fine record for
this quartette of Georgia hunters
Mr/F. A. Bullong, the efficient
mi clerk at the P.ney Woods for
many searons, returned yesterday and
is ag tin at his old place with ibis
house. Mr. Budlong is without a
superior m the hotel business and is
exwsme'y popular with the nuests and
igcroect of the house. He has
many friends among onr citizens,
all of whom are deligh’cd to have
him with them again.
The lecture room of the new Bap
tist church is beiDg pushed to comple
tion as rapily as possible. The plae-
toiiog is all done and the ka'somioers
are at work. It is expcctel that ter-
vices will be held in the new building
ou the third Sen lav in Jasurry.
Only the hctdfo room will ba usid
for Borne time, as the main body of
the chureb canno'. be finished until
probably next .“cminer.TjWe congrat-
late our Baptist friends ujxm the pros

We have received a . catalogue ol
the Bowdou College, located at’ Bows
don, Carroll county, Ux., which is
very neatly gotten up and shows a
goodly enrollment of students. Prof.
C. O. Stubbs, who was with the South
Georgia College here last year, is
president ol Bowdoe college. Prof,
Stubbs is a high-toned, cultured gent
leman, well educated, a thorough
teacher, and will doubtless build up a
reputation for Eowi’on college which
will put jt in the front rank of Geor
gia’s educational institutions. His
Thomasril’e friends wish him unbound
ed success.
A Pleasant Occasion.
Tee d.nce at the hi i-u.-y Hotel on
Friday evening was quite a pleasant
aSair. The inclemency of the weather
doubtless deterred many who intended
going Irom doing so, however, the at
tendance was very good and ail seem-
el to enjoy the occasion to the fullest
extent. Proprietor Nelson, who ten
dered the use ot h s parlors and ball
room to the young people for this
occasion, was unttriog iu his efTorts
tomaksalt hive a pleasant time.
The music «us lu-msked b, Kessler’s
band and wis v- iy g , id. To it’s
measured strains the b.ppy csuples,
with light hearts and .1 n ' e feel, kept
time until near the undo gut hoar,
when good night.* were snd with
regrets that tha evsumg passed so
quickly. Among those present the
reporter noticed the following: Mrs.

Mrs. Collins, Mrs. Cook, Mrs. E ison,

We understand that another dance
wifi be had at this bouse some lime
next week.—Daily TV E. Dec. 17.
Yesterdayrwas the day set for the
hearing of Mr. Theo Titus’ motion for
a new trial in the caso of Henry
Spencer, convicted of murder, but
Judge Hausell postponed the hearing
notil the 28th inst.'^and granted a
supersedeas so that the execution will
not take place natil some time to be
fined hereafter, if anew trial should
not be granted.
Spencer was sentenced to be hanged
on next Friday, the 22ed inst., and
bnt for the grantiog of this super
sedeas his time on earth would have
been-very short. This action of the
Judge will give the condemned man
.one more Christmas this ride ofthe
grave, bat, confined as he is behind
iron bars, with the gloomy and un
certain prospects of life which con.
front him, the holidaya will doubtless
be aaythieg bat a season of pleasure
and enjoyment.
Soon after the Judge had granted
the eupersedeas ataying Spencer’s ex
ecution, the reporter visite l the jaU.
Through .the courtesy of Deputy
Sherifi Sam Doss he was allowed to
see the condemned man and was the
first person to tell him of the Judge’s
action. Spencer Wes'wrapped up in
bis blankets apparently asleep, but
when called hastily git up and came to
the iron grating-of the cage in which
ha ii confined. He ehoned tome
litile uerrou-nese at first, but as soou
as he commenced to talk this passed
away. When tko news of the post
ponement of his execution was to’d
him, he did not exhibit any signs uf
pleasure, but calmly rep’ied, "T am
glad to hear it,” aud eeemed to treat
the matter almost with iodifierenee.
Ho said he believed that if he was to
be hung be wou’d bo and that was all
was to if. He did not enter
tain much hopes of a new trie 1 , but
nos spending his time in preparing to
meet his .Maker, no said he had
made his peace with God, and did not
fear death. He seemed more ioc’ined
to talk about bis health, which has
not been very good, than anything
else, aud showed the reporter a box of

A Change Made.
e.\ A. M. Wynn relume 1 last
night from Dawson, where he has
been iu attendance ou the annual
conference. From him we learned that
the Methodist church here will be in
chargo of a new pastor next year.
Rev. Dr. Thompson, who has b en
stitioned at Brunswick the psst year,
will come to Thomasville acd Mr.'
Wj un was sent to Waycrosr. Dr. J
O. Branch waa sent back as presiding
elder if this district. Every one will

No minister was ever liked better

ally than Mr. Wynn.
That Schedule.
Complaints continue to reach ns
from many. points along the line of
the Sr F. & W. By., about the new
schedule. It is a most inconvenient
schedule. It discommodes everybody
and every place.
Manager .Davie*, of the Pine;
Wooda Hotel, Waa notified a day
two since that a gentleman and his
family who had secured rooms at the
Fine; Woods would .have to cancel
the contract on account oi the poor
schedule.. Thus the Pine; Woods
loses n’whole family for the season.
They will probably go to Florida, as
the present sehedtde almost forces the
tourist travel into that state. This
is only one instance. That many
others will be forced to do the s
thing is more than likely. Tourists
who have been coming here for years,
and wish to come here again this
season, will be forced to seek some
other point in the Sonth. Is this
fair? Is it just? Hnndredsof thous
ands of dol'ars have been invented
here to acooramodate northern tour
ists. Onr peop'o do not ask any
special favors, bat they do ask fair
treatment at the hands oi the Plant
sys em.
A Correction.
The Tim iis-Enterfrise was in er
ror yesterday morning when saying
that D. C. Culpepper, the young
white man arrested Thursday for fe
loniously assaulting a Miss Nelson,
did not deny having been on intimate
terms with the woman. The reporter
saw Culpepper at the jstl yesterday
aud be denied most poeitively the
statement that be ever had anything
to do with her. Cnlpepper talked in
a straightforward manner about the
ease and did not appear to be at all
uneasy as to bow he wonld finally
came out of the trouble!
Cupid’s Work.
That nos a happy occasion at Cli
max, Ga , on Wcdcoiday, when Mr.
Menton Alford, of South Carolina,
led Misa Lorena Curry to the altar.
The marriage ceremony was appro
priately and impressively performed
hy the Rev. A. W. Clisby, of Tbom-
Seville. Miss Curry is the youngest
daughter of t'oe late Duncan Curry, of
Decatur county, and during his life,
one of the most prominent and highly
esteemed citizens of that county.
The following were the attendants:
Miss Mamie tihaw and Mr. Alfred
McCormick, Miss Bessio Love and
Mr. A. Shaw, Miss Saiiie Love and
Mr. E. Peabody, Miss Bessie Cany
and Mr. J. Curry, Miss Rosa Baker
and Mr. M. Curry.
The bride looked lovely (they all
du) while the beautiful bevy ot brides
maids plxyed sad havoc with the
youog men.
The wedding march was artistically
played by Miss Maggie Peabody, of
Bainbridge. The church was hand
somely decorated for the location by
the friends of tbc fair young bride.
The coup's stood under a large horse
shoe composed of Alpine moss inter
epersed with immortelles. Mr. Mc
Cormick was the groom’s best man.
A large number of friends 'graced
the occasion with their presence.
Mr. Alford has drawn a ears
enough, priziln the matrimonial lot
tery, and has transferred from Georgia
to the Palmetto Stato one of the most
charming and loveable girls in the
Empire Butte.
The newly wedded couple will
make their home in South Carolina,
where we trust fortune will smile
upon them for many, many long
years.
Speakiugofthenew schedule, the
Savannah Press of yesterday says:
“ The protest against the now tehed-
u ■ i, not confined to one locality or
t > one train. They range all the way
from Thomasville to Hieesville—Irom
Cami-Ln Corbett to the winter tonr-
ms.
It ie oot a gracious task for The
I'resa to harp upon this tLing. We
do not do it in any-spirit of opposi
to the Plant system, which we
recognizs]ms a great factor in the busi
ness ol Savannah and south Georgia;
iudeed, it is for this reason that we
voice the protest oi the people ia Sa*
vannah and along the route. We
believe greater facilities should be
given to local trains, morning and
and evening, in and out of Savannah,
and that the through trains should
linger in Savannah until a more sea
sonable boar. The Ipresent schedule
disregards tie convenience and inter
ests of Savannah at all points and at
all hours.”
The Press voices the sentiment of
Thomasville cod every town along the
f road, so tar as we know. We
caouot believe that Mr. Plant, Col.
Haines, Caph Fleming and the other
"icials of the system, will remain
deaf to the appeals for relief from the
present schedule. They are fair
minded men and will ees the injuss
ties being worked to Georgia’s inter
ests and to Georgia’s towns. Give
Thomasville an open field and a fur
showing. It is all she asks. Then she
will take care ot herself.

The “La Marque,” omplimeutary
to Miss Mamie Blackhear, took place
Thursday evening at the handsome

The elegant ball room is in the

loveliness, being decorated with ever
greens, ferns and bamboos. Prompt

Opening ofthe Pjney Woods.
The famous Finey Woods. Hotel
was formally opened for the season of
1893-91 yesterday, the first regular
meal served being dinner at 6 o’clock.
The Piney JWoods has had a thorough
overhauling, during the pasf. season,
both inside and outside, and it never
looked brighter or fresher, n A on its
original opening day,. than it does
now. Painters, carpenters, upholster
ers, eta, have finished brushing up and
the. incoming guests will find every
thing in readiness for their comfort.
The register showed last night a
goodly number of arrivals for the first
day, and many familiar faces, faces of
these who have spent previous sea
sons at this elegant hold, were to be
seen sitting about the handsome office
tndpadon.
The office foroe is somewhat chapg-
ed from last year, the only one ofthe
old force remaining being Mr. F. A.
Bndlong, the popular room clerk.
The front clerk this season will be

who occupied the earns position with
this boose a few years ago. Mr. A.
A. Biley, of this city, will be book

genius in the back part of the house.
He has occupied the responsible and
difficult position of Steward since
the first season. The Pine; Wood*
has in the person of Mr. Theodore La-
Manna, of New York, a new chef.
Mr. LaManna has been with some of
the leading hotels of New York, and

several winters. The bead pastry cook

St. James Hotel, New York. Mrs.
Metzgar, of New York, will be the
housekeeper this year. Genial Ed'
Avery is in charge of the bar and Mr.

place of receiving clerk. Both these
gentlemen have .been with the Piney
Woods a number of years.
The hotel is well equipped in every
respect to handle thelarge crowds that
will seek luxury and comfort within its
hospitable doors, and everything points
an unusually successful season.
The Fine; Woods has a reputation
for excellence second to nope in the
land,and will, this season, add new
laurels to its fair name.

Have You Seen Them?
The lollowiog extract is taken from
a dispatch to the Constitution from
Birmingham:
‘Two fine-looking yonng women
passed through here to-day dressed in
men’s clothing. They said that they
were going to Georgia. They arid
that they were from Texas and, had
been compelled to leave home through
gossip about them. They refused to
give their names. One of them said
that their names bad been mixsd ’ np
in a why which mortified them.
Many curious people showed
disposition to talk to the girls, bnt
they Would not be sociable. They
-conducted themstivea with ' perfect
propriety while here, saide Irom their
appearance in the male garb.”
A dispatch received by the 1
Enterprise last night stated that the
girls were enronte to Thomasville,but
up to onr hour for going to preea they
had not arrived.
Let Him Whistle.
Editor Triplett, of the Thomasville
Tihes-Enterfbise, is a good jadge
of human nature and we wonld ofieg
nothing better in verification ot this
statement than the following, repro
duced from his able paper;
*A dyspeptio writer says in one of
onr esteemed state exchanges:
“A yonng man of pleasant address
and a good clerk waa recently dis
charged becaose he insisted upon sit
ting at his desk and whistling all the
day long to tire annoyance of the oth
er men in the office. It served him
right. No man has the right to shat
ter the nerves ot people by persistent
ly whistling. There onght to be a
law allowing conductors to pot the
whistlers ofl of streot cars.”
That merchant mads a mistake.
The young man who whistles will
never rob his employer. He isn’t
bniit that way. Yon can trust the
whistling yonng man every time. He
is net plotting mischief when whist
ling. He is looking at the bright side
of things and ia ready to do anybody
a favor. His .heart is tender as a
woman’s, and he will prove a true and
devoted lover, and will -aljreys be
found ready to give np his seat in the
street car—from which the writer
qaoted wonld expel him—to comp tir
ed old woman, no matter how poorly
•he ie clad. Don’t condemn the whist
ling yonng man- - He’s all right He
carries light and sunshine with him
wherever bo goes. Yon could never
convince the girl who tings: “Whis-
tio And I’ll Gome To Yon My Lad,”
that there was anything wrong in tbs
whistle of her bejr lever. She listens
for the cheery sound si her swain,
with twinging stride, steps blithely to
tha measure (of his musical whittle.
His heart’s in the right plaoe."—Ma
