It’s an awful long, time until next Christmas. i'uxmer appearrto be lingering in the lap of winter, May coquetting with D cember, as it were. Dr. W. B. Watkins, who has been living in Pansy, Ala., for some months, has moved back to: Metcalfe. May01 Hopkins and Ben Schurmeier arc interviewing the game down at Susffia. The game is in danger. Quite a number enjoyed a fox chase Christmas afternoon. The fox was lame at the start and the chate only lasted but a short time before he was captured and killed. Dr. Tom Taylor, of Texas, came in Sunday night to spend the holidays with home folks. He is pracUdng medicine in the Lone Star State and we are glad to learn is doing well. We were glad to see Mr. John Vaughn on the streets yesterday. John has been railroading with Messrs, Da* vidson and McIntyre on the Carra belle road. His work appears to have agreed with him. Manager Spence has booked Law rence Hanley, the great Southern tragedian, for the Thomasville opera House on January rath. He is one the foremost actors of the American ‘-age, There are a number of fine eques triennes here already among our visitors. Two charming lady guests at the Smart took a gallop of eight uiilea through the piney woods yester day afternoon. Western North Carolina is known as the ‘ Land of the Sky.” South Georgia should be known as the “Land of the Sun.” We have been h»vmg great flood-* of sunshine tor weeks.

The last raee'iog of the Epworth League held at the Methodist church on Friday night will not soon be for- got.cQ by those who were present. It was the occasion of their last meeting with their loved pastor. After the usual services, Mr. B. P. Walker, president of the league, rose and ad- dressed Mr. Wynn as follows: Brother Wynn—For the past few years we as members of" the league have profited by your kind instruction and advice, and within that period you have greatly endeared yourself to us by your amiable Christian charrcter, your earnest devotion to duty, and the hearty interest you have ever manifest ed in our .welfare. With a deep sense of your benefaction, those assembled here have requested me in the name of the Epworth League to present to you this cane as a slight token of our lore and esteem for .yourself, and of our gratitude for your labor "io our behalf. I assure you, dear brother, that .now in the providence oi God, as you are about to leave us, that it is with deep regret and sorrow that we part with you, and pray that wherever duty calls you, and in whatever field you labor, that '.the choicest blessings of our heavenly Father may rest upon you, and that your life may long be spared to carry ou the good work you love so much. Mr. Wynn was so deeply affected that he was unable for sometime to respond. Then he could scarcely give utterance to words so full was his heart. Every member of the league was deeply affected. Every eye was dimmed with tears aed every heart touched. * The canc is a very beautiful one, black ebony with a massive gold head, bearing this inscription: To A.M. Wynn, From Epworth League, Thom as ville, Ga. Mr. Wynn will no doubt keep and cherish this souvenir ot'the league so long as life shall last. Hen. R. A. Connell, of Decatur county, was in town yesterday. Ruie sti'l pins his ftiih to Wbigham. Well, he hxi worked hard to build up that sect ion and is a clever fellow, if be did introduce a bi 1 in the legislature to lav bachelors. J ndge Hansell in his kindness of heart, and it is tender and true, gave two unfortunate negro girls in jail a most welcome Christmas present. Their urue would have been out very soon but he instructed the j ailor to release them on Christmas morning. Remur McIntyre is spending the holidays at home. He returns to F.orida next week where he will finish up liis work on the Carrabelle road. The track is finished. It only remains to k on some fills and to surface up the road.

Linton has taken a kindly interest in the boy and will furnish him food and lodging. If any one has any kind ot emp'oyment which they can give the boy it would brighten the boy’s chances and future. He is willing to do anything. We hope so m e one will find something for him to do. -AGENTS FOR— UNDERWEAR AND Butterick Patents Mitchell House Blotf. Thomasville, €3», Help Them. We publish the following appeal which has been handed us by Rev. D. H. Parker with the hope that it will meet with a prompt and liberal response at the hands of our citizens: Caj)t. Triplett: Dear Sir:—The present contract on the new church house is nearly completed. We lack cne thousand dollars ot having it paid for. Con tractor Horrocks has agreed we can have it by the 3rd Sunday in January, We can accept this only by paying up. . This thousand mud be met March 1st, it can be met by January 21st. I want us to pay it and have a formal opening"at that-time. Don’t under stand me to mean a dedication. I know the distressing stringency ot money, but a united effort on the part of all the friends of this cause will put us into the hew house. I beg their help. We have no claim upon out* riders but we ask it in the Master's name and as a matter of bounty to us for his sake. I Hope cur friends will hunt me op and say: “Here is some money for the new house.” It will make us so happy. Tonrs, D. H. Parker. An Important Real Estate Deal. We learn that M*. E. M. Mal’ctte, tbs live Real Estate Broker, has sold the oil mill property to the Plant In vestment Company. This is a valua ble acquisition and an impoitant one for Thomasville. The S. F. & W. Ry„ we understand, has far several years been trying to buy part of ihe land, at one time making an effort to buy as little as fifteen Let iu triangu lar shape at the far corner ot lha Ice Factory building. This could have been bought but its me for track pur poses by the road would have neces- siated the moving of all the machin ery of the Ice Factory and the co3t of thi3 would have been so great, the deal fell through. At this point tne railroad only owned about one liun* dred feet, and whi e the road owns ample track room cart and we3t of this point, itsoariow right-of>way just here makes it a sort of funnel through which the tracks have to bo laid. We understand that the Plant Investment Company will convey to the S F. & W. Ry. Company whatever of the land may be needed for track pur poses and will probably effor for sale all that is not necessary for railroad purpaej. The road is badly in need of track room here and now that the necessary ground has been obtained, the yard aud drill ground can be re modelled, and the drilling across Jackson street diminished. This will be a relief to the public. A Delightful Affair. Decidedly one of the most pleasant social events of the season was the gathering of young people at the beautitul home of Mrs. E. H. Smith, on Jackson street, Wednesday even ing. The affair was aa entertainment tendered by the yonng ladies to their gentlemen friends, and right royally did they entertain them. With music, games and conversation, the hours flew by on swift wings and ere the merry party were aware of it the hour for saying good night had ar rived. The choicest of refreshments were served during the evening. The following were present: Misses Nettie Smith, Florine Smith, Maync Davis, Rena Davis, Emma Mitchell, Ruth Mitchell, Daisy Mitch ell, Miunie Dillon, Matsy Hopkios, .Marion Hayes, Fannie Caratein, Neb* lie Pringle, Anna Patten and Mbs Fay, and Messrs.

Burch on Warren street, at seven o click last night, Miss Maggie Hagan was married to Mr. J. B. Grant, Rev. D. H. Parker performing the ceremo- ny. There were quite a number of camp at that time as are roses on the Shot and Hung. A Mrs. Sellers, wife of a Bapt'st minister living near Cairo, but in Decatur county, was outraged by a big, burly negro on Christmas eve. Her husband was absent and she was at home alone. The negro beat her badly before effecting his fiendish pur pose. He was capture! next day and fully identified by his victim. On Monday he confessed the crime and was placed in a guard house at Whig- ham, and Sheriff Patterson te'egraph- ed for to coiqe and carry him to Bain- bridge. A number of unknown men relieved the sheriff of this duty. They went to the guard house, broke in the door and filled the brute with lead. This is one crime which will always meet with sure and swift punishment at the south. Later: It appears that the negro was not killed by the shooting, though the doctor who examined him said that the wounds would likely prove fa tal. To make sure the same parties, perhaps, returned the next night and swung the negro up to a limb in the outskirts of the town. The swinging body could be plainly seen by pas sengers who passed the place on the cars, Tuesday. Through carelessness, perhaps, fire caught in the park yesterday just in front of Mr. Keefer’s residence. The gr»und being thickly carpeted with pine straw, and it very dry, the fire spread with great rapidity. Very soon, however, Policeman Coyle, Al derman Malictte, and Sheriff Doss, assistc 1 by some negroes and small boys, were on hand and fighting the spreading flames with green pine tops. It was soon extinguished, but not be> foro it had burned over an acre or tw.> • f ground. The gentlemen men- tione 1 deserve thanks for the prompt ness with which they acted. Quite a large crowd ot young peo*> p’c gathered at Mr. Ben Singletary’s, at Cubana City, on Christmas night •joy a Christmas tree. A beauti ful holly, bearing a large number of handsome presents attracted every one’s attention. All the little folks, aud many of the larger ones, had presents on the tree. Quite, a num- ber of musicians were present and rendered eome delightful music on half a dozen instruments. Some of the little fellows recited eome pretty pieces appropriate to the occasion. The time flew by on rapid wing with the happy young people and it was, no doubt, with regret that they bade their host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. Singletary, “good night” It is more than likely that some soft and tender things were said, as the boys escorted tho girls boms in the shadows of the pines an ! ’neath the rajs of a full moop, as the goddess of .night looked dorra on earth that lovely Christmas) “A Happy New Year” will be the night. •; ' v 1 —■ 1 — Attention, AUiancemen.

Word to Return It, After Using It to Boll the Dinner, and He Wae Badly Scared. From the ConatltaJIon. Washington, Dec. 25.—The soldiers halt the grip of hard times tighten on them as the war went on, and their lot seemed to be all the more embit tered by the coming of Christmas, the day of family reunions and grate" fnl feasting. Especially was this the case in the army of northern Virgins fa, for after the fail of 1863 nearly all of its lines of oammonication sooth- ward had been cat, and Grant’s forces stood like a wall of unbreakable steel between it and its main sources of food supply. Ajb the was neared its close, there was a pallid aet of soldiers in that renowned army. Cheeks were -pale with hanger that had never blanched with fear in-battle. There wae an awfdl break In the harmony of things with them in the winter of 1864, for never were the stomachs of soldiers in more market dispropor tion to the size oi their rations. On Christmas day at that year it was a half pound of tough beef and a pint of cow peas to each man. The peas were quite digestible, if cooked for a week or two, bat when underdone, and followed by a drink of water, they would convert the rongheet soldier into a “howling swell,” in a very painful sense of the term. ’ The fare of the officers was but lit tle, if any, better than that of the soldiere. What it was, as to quantity and quality, may well be gnaged by General Loo’a dinner on Christmas day 1864. As the fortune of war had favored bis larder through eome skillful foraging of Ephraim, a negro, who was bis faithful cook, body ser vant and waiter—three gentlemen in one—the general invited several offi cers to dine with him on that day, The lucky recipients of the timely invitation were five in number, all officers of distinction, among them General LosgUroet, Gordon and Ker shaw. They were all on time when the dinner was called. It was served on a rough pine table, without a cover, in General Lee’a weather beaten tent. It consisted of a boiled cabbage and eight or ten boiled sweet potatoes and a dish of rice, cooked dry. The piece de resistance, which, indeed, the knightly guests found it bard to rej sist, was a small bit oi fat bacon, about three inches square, that lay on top of the large cabbage. Now, ba con was as rare in the confederate am directed by General Grane to give you his compliments, and to-say, that be is thoroughly informed as to all your movements, and that he even knows what you had for dinner yes t< rday.” - -, \ Generrl Lee took tic pleasantry in good part, and answued, “Please, captain, present my compliments to General Grant, and gay, that I must doubt the correctness of his informa- cion; fori know him to be a humane man, and if he had known what t had for my dinner yesterday, he would have sent me part of hie own.” T. J. Mackey, Late Captain Engineers’ C. 8. A. He Didn’t Scare, Mr. Jim Mitchell waa quite pun- folly ehot in the arm Wednesday night by a negro. The shooting ia another evidence of the dan ger of playing joke, upon people to Ecare them. Mr. Mitchell waa in the road near hia home about eight miles from town. Seeing a negro man whom he knew approaching him, he jumped behind some bushes by the side ef the road and by the aid of the darkneaa;ooncealed himself. When the negro approaohed, Mr. Mitchell commenced to groan and shake the busheg. The negro called oat to know who was there, bat receiving no answer, he discharged his revolver into the bushes and ram The hall struck Mr, Mitchell in the arm. He called to the fast dissppear- ing negro, who, recogoising Mr. Mitchell’s voice, returned, and the two procured a conveyance and came to town, where Dr: McIntosh dressed the wound. Mr. Mitchell can con gratulate himself on escaping with only a wounded arm. He will doubt less hereafter refrain from indulging in jokes to scare pe >ple. For Sweet Charity. That was a timely and graceful act of the joiot committee of the St. Thomas aed Thomasville Lodge when they tamed over a surplus of $17 left over after paying the expenses of the banquet on Wednesday night, to the Chanty Hospital fund. The money was turned over to the treasurer of the fond, Mrs. L. H. Jerger, yester day morning. In addition to this in dividual members ef the two lodges contributed 87.75 to the same cause, making $24.75. The ladies in charge of this noble institution have goad friends among the Masons. Bat who ever saw a go >d Mason who was not ready and willing to assist the needy? Charity, pure unalloyed charity, is one of their principal tenents. We are quite Bure that the Indus will fully appreciate this action on the part of the members of the two lodges mentioned. invited guests present and immedi ately after the ceremony waa over all weie invited to partake of a bounti ful wedding supper. The bride is a young lady greatly admired and highly esteemed by a Urge circle of friends and acquaint ances.

' .' irthern hilltops in December, Even Ignatius Dorielly, with all his genins for unfolding tho hidden, canid not have discovered a trace oi it in the mess store* oi that army. Yon can imagine, therefore, the vast amount of seif-restraint exeicised by each guest, as they declined in turn a slice of the delectable meat, proffered by their host, who held the carving knife and fork ready to cot and Lclp. It was observed that whoa the gen eral, after helping to the jeabbage, said to the gneits whose plate Ephr aim held out. “Allow me to help you to a slice of the bacon?” the de voted old servisor’e hand trembled greatly; ia fact, he Beemed to be in a state ef "decided fright. The high military rank .of the guests would not account fit his trepidation, for he daily served near a master who out ranked them ail. There was no splen 1 dor left in the tracery of faded gold lace on their battle-stained uniforms to dazzle hie eyes, and came them to roll about and glance, from bacon to guest, and from guest to • bacon, as each answered the halt question with the woids, “No, thank you, general.’’ The discomposure of the serving man was all the more striking from its oontrast with the serene, self-poised dignity of his benign master. Dinner over, the general and his guests retired from the tent, bnt they passed .ont General Lee tamed hack and said in a low tone, “Ephr aim, we have another cabbage, have we noi?’ Theanswer was, “Yes sab, Mam Bob. We’s got anudder cabbage sab?’’ Then Ephnam,” said the general “gave the piece of bacon to cook with the other cabbage.” The prompt and decisive reply wat: “No sah, Mass Boh, I can’t do dat? jia borrow dat pieoe ob baton for sea. senin from a friend ober dar in Rich- mon’ and I done gib np my parole of honah dat I’ll gib him back dat same bacon what I borrow.” The general, whoconld not be a party to any man’* violation of hia parole of honor, consented at once to the return of the bacon that had successfully ran the gauntlet of six hungry diners. He most have re- fleeted, too, on the extremity ef bis fortunes that led to the borrowing of part of hia Christmas dinner, on the hard condition that it ehonld be tamed untouched. His New Year’s dinner was still more meager. ! should judge, from what he indicated to Gen- era! Grant on the following day.
