Mr. J. J. Stephens sold out his stock
o! groceries, etc., on lower Broad
street, Tuesday night, to Mr. IV. H.
Brandon.
This is .the burden of our
story after a general overhaul
ing. and*-consolidation ,<f our
stock incident to the holiday
rush. 'Such an
ACCOMULATIOH OF REHNANT3
would surprise you! Now we
haro no room for such stuff
must dispose of every
yafil prior to receiving
tn-’h
^SPRING GOODS.
'•'“Believe us when wo say
that price will cat no figure in
THIS SALE, what wo mean
is that every re nnant will be
sold at a
NOMINAL PRICE
regardless of former value
This plan is imperative in or
der to get rid of these olds
and ends.
EVERYTHING GOES
in this sale, all sorts assorted
from the chrapest c j ton to
the finest worsted. We ex
pect something of a rush and
as the early bird always “gets

We hope oar ctt*ze is will respond
liberally to the appeal o! the Baptist
church. They need funds with which
to complete their new church.
There seems to be an epidemic of
marriages in this immediate section.
The few old bachelors left arc fearful
lest the disease prove contagious.
Well, the holidays are over and
there hasn’t been a fire or an accident,
so tar as we have learned, in the town.
We have that much to be thankful
for.
Thomas county will have a hanging
on Thursday. This is something un
usual, but there are no good reasons
why hangings should always be on
Friday.
Thomssville’s sports are ver7 much
interested in the coming fight between
Corbett and Mitchell at Jacksonvil!*
If the fight comes off, and there ere
grave doubts about it at present, a
large delegation will go down from

. Pleasure Ruled the Hour.
Another one of those pleasant social
affairs for which Thomasville has be*
come famous came off New Year’s
night at. the residence of Mr. T. J.
Bali,-o/i Dawson srteet. *\ Tba young
people were out in force and every
thing went off as merry as a marriage
bell. Mr. Bali’s residence is an ideal
place for an affair of this kind and to
say that everyone enjoyed it 'to. the
fullest extent is indeed putting it mildly.
This entertainment was in the nature
of a return party given by the young
men to the young ladie?, acd of coarse
the boys exerted themselves to make
every one have a pleasant, time. To
qnote the expression of an enthusiastic
participant, who, it is said, fell in love
with at least half the girls present, it
was ‘‘perfectly superb.” The refresh*
ments served on the occasion were,
very deliclonr, and contributed no
little to* the pleasure of the evening.
The foilowing young ladies were pres*
eut:
Misses Daisy Mitchell, Ruth Mitch
ell, Emma Mitchell, Mayne Davis,
Rena Davis, Minnie Dillon, Vira Pat
ten, Anna Patten, Nellie Pringle, Sal-
lie Hatley, Florrie Pittman, Cora’ Wai

Nau Mallard, Evelyn Mallard, Mfts
Mattie Ball and Mrs. T. J. Ball.

Walker, \V- D. Barbee, Lucius Tay-
lar, Sam Baker, P. A. McGriff, Mr. T.
J. Ball and Will Brown.
The occasion was one long to be
remembered by all who attend.d.
With dancing, games and music, in-
terpersed with lively conversation, the
hours flew by on golden wings and
when the time for departure came
good nights were said with regrets
that the evening had passed so quick
ly.

A Successful Entertainment.
That was a unique entertainment
given m the wood house just in rear
ol the residence of Mr. Frank Coch
ran's residence 00 Monday evening.
Four children, Liura and Berta
C ’chran, and Nellie Brewer and Mas
ter Craig Dickson, the latter two stop
ping with their parents at the Stuart,
conceived the idea of gsttiog up an
entertainment to assist some poor per
sou whom they had encountered in
their rounds.
A sheet was hung up for a curtain
and the stage brilliantly illuminated
by a single Chinese lantern. Several
guests ot the Stuart and others went
to the embryo theatre. Thera were
some excellent recitations by the chi!,
dren, who trod the mimic stage with
confidence of professionals.
The receipts amounted to 85 cents.
.We would congratulate the new
theatrical company, not only on its
histrionic talent, but also on the mo.
tive prompting them to give the eu«
tertainment.
May the love of good and charita*
ble deeds grov with them as they
grow older.

Mattie Glover, a dark complected

Alexander yesterday morning of
SPENCER SENTENCED
Judge Hansell Fixes the Date
Upon Which He is to Die.
Judge Hansell yesterday morniDg
sentenced Henry Spencer to be hung
On Thursday, the first day of March.
The crime for which Henry Spencer
is to pay the. penalty with his life, is
familiar to all of our readers, the his
tory of it having been told in tkc3e
columns a number of times since its
commission.. He kilted his brother*
in-law, old man Mose Green, some
time.last spring. J3e avoided arrest
for a lQDg time but wasfinatTy captur
ed by means of strategy upon the part
ot Sheriff Doss. He was tried at the
October term of the superior oourt,
found gnilty and sentenced to be hung
oa the 22nd day of December last.
His Attorneys moved for w new trial
and pending the hearing of this sen
tence was suspended. The motion
was heard by Judge Hansell test Fri
day arid a new trial refused. •'This
necessitated the resentencing of the
prisoner, which was done yesterday
morning.
The court room contained quite a
crowd 0? spectators some rime before
the hour set for passing sentence ar
rived, including a number of northern
visitor.. Sheriff.Doss soon alter.en
tered with the prisoner, who took a
seat tear the radiator, as tLe weather
was somewhat chilly. His eyes were
fastened upon the floor and he showed
some little sign of nervousness, which,
however, soon passed off. He never
looked at any body or spoke a word,
WhenHjndge Hansell took his s»t
upon tbe bench, Spencer was placed
lmmeiiately in front of him near the
railing which cuts-off the clerk’s desk.
The Judge’s remarks were full of
sympathy for the condemned man
and very touching and impressive*
During his talk, which lasted proba
bly ten minutes,‘Spencer was closely
watched by those present, but there
was not a tremor passed over him. It
was plain from his downcast look that
he realized his position, but he show
ed no signs whatever of excitement,
and when he held out his hands for
the cuffs to be placed on after the
sentence had been passed, has nervts
were perfectly steady and not a finger
twitched. He is certainly a man of
reoiarkab’y nerve.
The execution will be in private.
This has always been Judge Hanecil’s
custom.—Daily T. E. Jan. 3.

Louis Roundtree, colored,, was sub
poenaed as a t witness in the above
case, but did not show up. When
Sheriff Doss found him he was seated
in a wagon and positively refused to
accompany the Sheriff to tbe court
house. Sheriff Dose is not a man to
stand much foolishness, and it only
took him about two minutes to yank
Roundtree out of the wagon and
hustle him off. When the negro
reached the court -house he
searched and relieved of a very pe
culiarly constructed weapon in . the
shape of a heavy ball of lead attached

Dying Among Strangers.
A white man about forty*five yeais
of eg*, with dark hair, moustache and
eyes, having a rugged, healthy look,
aad fairly we’l dressed, applied at the
boarding house if Mre. Jones, on
Crawford street, Wednesday night,
fer lodging, eaying that be was sick.
Mrs- Jones refused him at first, saying
she did not care to take in sick peo

open and be must lay down. He wrs
then given aToom, for which be

is the last time he has spoken. He
was found unconscious and in a dan

Dr. J. G. Hopkins had the man rc
moved to the qharity hospital, where
everything possible was done to re*
Heve him without avail, and last
night he was in a dying condition.
The doctor says he has inflaraation oi

man’s person to indicate who he
His baggage consists of a mason’s
trowel and an undershirt. In his
pocket were found a peice of paper
containing a number of memoran<
dum?, another piece with an address
on it, seven dollars and forty cents in
money and a railroad coupon shows
irg that he had paid his fare from
Pine Mountain to Thomasville on
January 2nd. Dr. Hopkins did not
think the man would tive through the
night. He telegraphed to the ad
dress found on the slip of paper in
the hopes of getting information, but
tbe reply ho received threw no light
on the dying man’s identity.
Although, unknown and dying
among strangers, the poor sufferer is
receiving the best of attention and
care at the hospital.

The marriage was a very quiet one,

The current issue of the Manufact
urers’ Record presents two pages of
letters from bankers in all parts of the
south, shuwiog that the southern farm^
ers are to a better financial condition
than they have been for years. The
reason they are so is that they paid
morc attention to food crops this year
than'usual, and have on hand bread-
stuffs and meat enough to last until
next year’s crop shall have been har
vested. TheJ&ecord sees in this condi
tion of affairs evidence ‘That the whole
economic policy of southern farm
interests is undergoing a change, and
the credit system is being superseded
by a cash basis.” ; The money that
has heretofore been sent north, and
west for provisions and grain will re*
main at home and develop home in
terests. “Such is the solid rock bbl-
tom basis for future advancement, and
it is needless to say that as no * other
section can make such a showing, so
no other section will show so rapid
growth dunng the next few years.”—

Mr. R.G. Stone.
The Macon Telegraph has the
following skelch of Mr. R, G. Stone,
Thomas county boy, who was recent
ly promoted to a highly responsible
position on the (i, S. & F. railroad:
“After leaving, college, where he
studied civil engineering, Mr. Stone
joined the engineering corps of the
Plant system and assisted iu surveying
acd constructing a great many of the
Florida lines. Afterward he went to
Way cross as a freight clerk for the
Sivannsh, Flor.da & Western railroad,
and also acted as telegraph operator
with the company at Boston, Quitman,
Dixie and TaomasvLUe, and afterward,
in order to learo all branches of rail-
loading, engaged as a locomotive fire
man aad in. this capacity familiarized
himself with the mechanical workings
of the roid. After gaining the desired
knowledge of the mechanical depart-
ment of railroading Mr. Stone was
made agent of the Savannah, Florida
and Western at Gainesville, Fla.,
where he remained until the yellow
fever epidemic of 1888, when he left
Florida and' went with the Ocean
Steamship Company for a while. He
came to Macon and entered the service
cf the Georgia Southern as chief bill
ing clerk'before the road was complet»
ed to Valdosta, and before they had
established freight warehouses in this
city. When the warehouses were es
tablished, be was made chief clerk aud
cashier of Local Agent Brown. He
remained in this capacity for some
time, when he was transferred to La-
Grange to take charge of the agency
of the Macon acd Birmingham at that
point. After remaining in LaGraoge
for one year, Mr. Stone was called
back to Macon and made chief clerk
to Mr. C. B, Wilbouro, who was at
that time general freight agent. After
Mr. Wilbourn went to the Sam road
the office of general freight agent was
abolished, and Mr. Stone was made
chief clerk to Mr. Knapp, wb:ch was
virtually the same' as being *general
freight agent.
Since the resignation of Mr. Knapp
has gone into effect, Mr. Stone
without doubt the best posted man on
the Georgia Southern traffic business^
and few men have a better general
knowledge of railroads and railroading
in all of its branches than Mr. Stone.

“All human history attests
That hsppiness for man,—the hungry
sinner!—
Since Eve ate_ apples, much depends on
dinner.” ■
Aud a good liver is absolutely essential
for appreciating a good dinner. Lord By
ron knew that as well as anybody. One of
his greatest regrets was for his weak stom
ach. “Gad, man!” his lordship would say,
why don’t one of these infernal doctors in
vent a liver medicine?”
Byron would never have asked that ques
tion were he now living. Why?. Because
he would have been using Dr. Pierce’s
Pleasant Pellets, an absolntely sure cure for
Constipation, Indigestion, Billions Attacks,
and all derangements ot liver, stomaco and
bowels. There is no griping or violence
about these pills, and they’re guaranteed to
give satisfaction, or your money is refunded.

is within your reach for 2 acts.
