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.

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.

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 pects of.soon being iu a more modern aud comfortable house of worship. 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. BlakemaD, Mrs. Cieland, Mrs. Nelson, Mrs. Collins, Mrs. Cook, Mrs. E ison, M;ss Tierney, M'ss E hard, Miss B die South, Miss H title Stn.ih, Miss Bessie i'hariD, Miss Mtc Young, Miss Nellie Smith and v iss Hope Lttv Messrs.

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 pille he was taking, which he aaid had done him a great deal of good When wo lelt he was laughing ard talking with straoge indifference fern man in his condition. Spencer look- rather thin and says hs bar been sick almost ever Biace he haB been incarcerated, but feels better and thinks >he medicine he is taking will euro him.—Daily T.-E. Dec. 1C. 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 regret to learn of Mr. Wynn’s remov No minister was ever liked better by his church aud the people geueri 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. Election of Officers. At a regular communication of Thomasville Lodge.No. 369, F. & A. M., held Thursday night, the follow ing officers were elected to serve the ensuing Masonic year: - W. J. Taylor, W. M. A. H. S. Cook, 8. YV. W. C. Snodgras-, J. W. ■ M A. Fleetwood, Beoty.

Miss Acosta is ■aid to be a young lady of many rare charms of person, mind, and manners, while the groom it, as his many Thomasville friends know, one of tbo model yonng men of South Georgia. He comes of an old family, one of the best in the state, a eon of ex-8enatpi Robett G. Mitchell, and is a worthy eon of his popular father. ’’Bob” will be overwhelmed with congratulation from here. First Rose Danes. The “La Marque,” omplimeutary to Miss Mamie Blackhear, took place Thursday evening at the handsome new home oi Mr. and Mrs O. H. Keep. The elegant ball room is in the third story, and it was a bower of loveliness, being decorated with ever greens, ferns and bamboos. Prompt ly at 8 o’clock Kessler’s band played the first wal:z. Dancing was in dulged in until eleven. Choicest re freshments were served all during the eveniog from a beautifully decorated table. Miss Harley satiated Miss Blackshear in receiving. Those prec ent were; Misses Mamie Blackshear, Bessie Blackshear, Olive B'nckshear, Johnnie 81oan, Mec Yonng, Cgra Walker, Lula Harley, Mattie Davis, Vallie Csssels, Nettie Smith, FHiiine Smith, Kate Winn, Bessie Hopkins, Rath Mitchell and Emma Mitchell; Messrs.

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 Mr. F. H. Scofield, of New York, who occupied the earns position with this boose a few years ago. Mr. A. A. Biley, of this city, will be book keeper acd cashier. Of course Mr. N. 8. Beebe is again the pretiding 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 occupied the position of chef at the Cordova; in St. Augustine, during several winters. The bead pastry cook ie Edward Flicker, formerly with the 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. J. B. Trnmpbor is again filling Jthe 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. Among the arrivals yesterday were: Peter Fisher and wife, Sayrerille, N. J.; B. F. Schnrmeier, St. Paul; Mr. and Mrs. J. G. McPherson, nurse and child, end Mrs. M. A. Boat, Saginaw. Micb.; Mrs. J. W.

The gentlemen composing the board are thorough military men, officers who have taken great interest in putting the volunteer forces of the state on a higher plane and iu enforc ing all proper military rules and discipline. It' is proper to add that since the above ordsr waa issued Lieut. Col. Varnedoo baa been pro moted to the Colonelcy of the 4th Begt. 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 con Evening News.
