Miss Genevieve Silvester, a chaim icg young lady from Wn-hiogton, D. C., arrived yesterday and will be the guest of Mr. and Mrs. C 1. La Roche, at the Episcopal Rectory, ou Maclean Avenue, lor to ne weeks. We trust Mia Silvester will find her stay in Thomasville a very pleasant one It Is not gcrrisl'y krcnia pil ape, that one of our loading firms recently bought the extensive shoe stick em braced in Soelling's shoe store, at 82 Whitehall street, Atlanta Messrs.

Tennessee contributes two charm ing ladies to Thomasville this season, Mrs. Simpson Tate and her sister, Miss NannieEdringto-, both of Mem phis. Miss Edrington is a school, mate of Mrs. Peacock, nee Marioo Davis, and is, with her sister, the gnest of Mrs. Davi*, on Crawford street. A sad story which owes its origin to the grippe comes from Co'quitt county. We learned jorterday that Mr. J. K. West and wife both died one day this week from pnectnon a, which started with the grippe. O ic died in the morning and the other in the evening. They lived about t clre miles from Moultrie and leave seven children. The reporter was shown a check yeaterday for $10,368.43. It was given by the Equitable Life Assurance Company of New York in payment of a policy held by the late Dr C- W. Stegall io that company. The-prompt- with which this great life insnr. ance company meets its claims will' commend it tu the public. Mr J. Monroe Lee is local ageot for the company here. Thera is no better company in the country, nor is there a cleverer fife Insurance agent than Monroe Lee. Mr. Thomas Coldwell, of Newburg, N. Y., was to the city yesterday and pud our office a pleasant call. Mr. Coldwell is one of the largest raanus (adorers of mowing machines in the world, and also correspondent for the Newbnrg Daily Journal. He has. traveled extensively in this country and Europe, bat has never visited this section of the Sooth before, aod ex. pressed himself as much surprised and pleased at the general air of prosperity which he finds here. He promises to give Thomasville a nice write op in the Jounal. And now Albany, oar sprightly intercity, has caught the boxing fever and is goiog to have a genuine priae fight. . According to yesterday’s Herald two prominent young gentle, men of that city will, cross their ■’’dakes” for pugilistic honors at an early day. The prospective pngilsts are evenly matched and wQl fight for a purse ol $100. The fight snllprobt ably take place within the next ten days. Here is another chance for Governor Northen to 'call out the troops, and the Thomasville* Guuds should bold themselves in te.adincss Hia Identity Discovered. The identity of (he unknown man who died at the’Charity Hospital in this city on the fifth of this month has at last been discovered through the efforts of Dr. T: G. Hopkris. It will be remembered by our leaden tbit several addresses were found in the dead man’s pockets. One of these proved to be the address of the secre. tary ot a brick mason’s onion, of which the dead man was a mem her. He at once pat Dr. Hopkins on the track of the dead man’s people, and as a tesnlt Mr. Geo. Phillips, a contractor and builder ol Brooklyn, N. Y., arrived hare Sunday. Mr. Pnillipt was satis fied ihc man was his son, John J. Phil lips, but to make doubly . Ante, the body was exhumed yesterday morning. Mr. Phillips unhesitatingly pronounc ed it hisaoo, and had, It , shipped to Brooklyn yesterday afternoon. Mr. Phillips say's that his tor was well execi; that he did not have to strike a lick of work ifhe would stay at home, but tint he Wat of a roving disposition, and prrierred leading the’life which i* all probability.resulted in his death. In this connection we desire to cor rect the impression that has gone out from our notice of the man’s death published some weeks ago. It might be inferred from what we said that the man did not receive the proper attention at Mrs. J ones' hpard- ing house, where he spent the night before bu dea'h. That is not the impression we intended to convey. On the contrary he was kindly otrred for by Mrs. Jones and her son.

That gallant one armed gentleman, Col. Oates, of Alabama, has annoono* The Fair Southland. . Gradually, but surely, the advan- vantages of the south are being re cognized. The late Wendall Philips, in an address before the Boston Mechanics Society aeveralyearsego,said: "The iiandwriting is so plain on the wall that none hot a fool need mistake it. New Eogfend is doomed jnst as sure as natural laws will produce fixed re sults. New England has no soil worth mentioning, and her wealth has all been derived from her manufactures. These ere gradually leaving her, and eventually they will all go; some to the west, but most to the sonth, where the advantages for profitable mann* factoring are all located. The coal and iron in the sonthare easily gotten at, and inexhaustible in amount, and In iron mills, foundries and machine shops can go to them better than they can be carried to the ehopa. Then the cotton and woolen mills must go. there,'for the raw materials'are, and aro tb.be produced there, most cheap ly. .uniformly and better: Then look at the advantage of the extra honra pf daylight in a year’s ran. This, of itself, is no small matter. Ai the mn|h grows stronger, the wealth, cult ure and power of the country will be centered there, until she will become, not alone the mistress of America, bat the central empire of the world.” “The dawn of the 20th century will find the south the most flourish ing section of the United States." Wendall Phillips was a philosopher and most profound thinker. He look* edjaway beyond his day and saw with prophetic eye, this fair southland bathel in sunlight, while prosperity eat enthroned on her thousand hills and contentment reigned in her fer tile valleys. Georgia is the coming state in the noth. Here is what the American Farmer eays about the Empire State ol the sonth, in one of its recent is* 1: 'In climate, fortuity ol toil, and natural resources of all kinds, the Southern State] of this great republic surpass every other section of Ameri ca. There are excellent lands in Georgia which can be had f jr little money, and which can by thrift and ndastry be converted into beautiful homes and profitable farms. These lands are a constant invitation to tanners in the west, where lands are higher and where the natural condi tions of life are nearly sj pleasant.” Georgia has a warm welcome for desirable acquisitions to her popula tion, whether they come from the north, east or west. All such will find a big hearted southern welcome in the grand old stale of Georgia. EDITORIAL BRIEFS, Paragraphs of Promnen! & ith y Things^and^Peop*.
