O. Reeves. After the reading of the 103rd Psalm by Dr. Goodwin and the singing of hymn No. 47, Rev. Mr. Parker invoked the blowings of God upon the people and the occasion. This was followed by singing hymn No. 281, after which Dr. Goodwin announced his text from the Acts of the Apostles, second chapter and forty- second verse. * Ihe Lord added to the chutch daily the taved ” From tin* text Dr. Goodwin preached one of the best sermons ever delivered from a Th innsVille pulpit.

That was the ccmmsnt of every one who w *nt to see Barney Ferguson in McCarthy’s Mishap, at the opera home on Truriday night. Owing to a heavy rain which canoe up about the time the doer? • -pened, the audience was not as 1 irge as it otherwise would hive been, nor as large as the play and tho company descrvtd, for it is extremely rare tha* a ThomasviUe aud'cnce has thj p'easure of listening to a company composed of mere corns petent actor*. McCarthy** Mishaps is a farce-com-dy wrh little cr noth' ing in ir, but it afT»rd> oppor unity fer io r-tfueng many amusing and inter- estlng rpeti Uiies, The company is composed ot as fice lo of comedians as one wou-d want to sec, and there was one pro'onged laugh from the time the curtain went up on the first act until it descended on the last. The singing acd dancing were excel lent,especially the tambourine and con tortioois’.ic dances of M:ss Marguerite Ferguson and the song and dance of Alas ter Richard Ferguson. The ac robatic and contortion woik of Mr . J. Wilson and Miss Ferguson was also very fine. Their equals have never been seen here. Owing to the fact that the troupe had to leave town on the eleven o’clock train, the play was rushed through at a rapid rate and was considerably cut up, there was no kicking at this. Every* thing given was so well rendered that all were satisfied. McCarthy's Mis haps made a decided hit in Thomas viUe and should the company appear hero again we feel sure they will be given a bet'er house. proposed canning factory, we; will state in substance the plan proposed by Mr. Nisbet and adopted by the meetings His plao is to put In first class machinery, erect substantial buildirgs, pay cash for all supplies, pm only good goods upon the market and take advantage of the markets in selling. To enable the factory to dp this a capital of $ta,5oo will be nec essary. About $4,000 will suffice to put in the machinery, erect suitable, buildings and purchase a site. The. remainder of the capital will success* fully operate the estab'uhtnent for the year, and obviate the necessity of borrowing money or forcing goods upon the market. The meetog deemed the plan a wise one acd adopted 1:. Mon of the roanhfac ur- ing enterprises that have proven fail ures in the Sou h made the mistake of starting without capital to operate with, and were in consequence, farced to borrow money and. force the sale of their products. Mr. N is bit’s plan obviates this acd gives to the factory all the advantages resulting lrom dish purch -ses and favorable markets. Upon this plan, and with our soil and climate, we see no reason why a fac tory m ThomasviUe should uot put up as good goods aad pay as large profits as those of any other section in the state. And all of the factories that are being operated on a like plan, as far as we have been able to learn, are paying from ten o ihiry per cent. This is briefly the plan upon which the Tnomas County Canning Factory will be operated it organized, and we sincerely hope that the rirz^ss ot the county will teel and take an acuve .nterest in the matter. Small manu* factoring industries are what is most Deeded, and we can conceive of no enterprise, requiring so small a capital, that would more greatly or generally benefit our people. Not oaly would the thousands of dollars that annually go out of the county for caoned goods be kept a. home, but lines ol produo tion heretofore dormant would be stimulated into activtiy aod prove fir more profitable than cotton. Let us unite in Uus matter and secure the factory in time to work up the crops of the present year. And now a » ord about Mr. Nisbe?, who is endeavoring to work up the enterprise. Mr. Nisbet, whil; hailing from Alabama, is a Georgian by birth. He is a grandson of the late Judge Eugenius A. Nisbet, ot Macon, and a nephew of Col. R B. Nisbet, of the 3rd Ga. Regiment. The family is well knowu in the State and Air Nisbet comes to our town well recommended as a business man in whom cur cit sens may have confi dence. He has had considerable experience io the canning business and proves his farth in the enterprise by proposing to cast his lot with us, and by giving both his time and m;ans to the undertaking. A Move in The Right Direction Everybody knows what a difficult matter it is to direct a straoger to any particular place in the city so that he can find it. This difficulty ia caused by the fact that the houses are not numbered, and the streets, many of them, have no eigns. We are glad to see that oar city fathers appreciate the importance of putting np street signs and numbering the houses, and have taken up the matter. We hope they will not cease their efforts in this direction until the mach desired im provement is made. At the- last meeting of the city, couocil the fol lowing resolutions were offered by Alderman Herring and were referred to the ordinance committee for re port at next mectiog: Resolved, 1st, By.the Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the city ot ThomasviUe, that all owners of dwellings, stores 01 other business houses within the corporate limits of the city and situated on regular or laid ont streets be plainly and neatly numbered, said owners paying all expense of famish- • Progressive Euchre."

The party was given in honor of Misses Annie and Bessie Griswold, two charming young ladies' of Louisville, Ky, who are spending some time in tiih city the guests of Mrs. McIntyre. . Tke hoqse was beau tifully decorated foWhe occasion, the hall being tastefully trimmed in red, the front parlor in pink and the back parlor in yellow. Every who* e there was a profusion of bamboos, palms, evergreens, flowers, etc, giving the place an air of exquisite beauty. Among those prerent were: Mrs. D.'

McIntosh presented the prizes, making quite a witty aod hu morous speech in doiog so. The most o’egant refreihmcnts were served during the evening. Mrs. McIntyre is a perfect hostess and her guests on this occasion will long re member her hospitality with pleasure. What Arc You Going to do About It? The questi m ot estab'ishing a can ning factory has been so fully discuss ed in these columns that we deem any further argument unnecessary as to the good that would result to the town and county. The proposed plan of O'gWz-ng and- operating a factory has b.*en laid before onr readers* A meeting of citizens, embracing many of uur best businessmen, tally endors ed the plan and appointed a commit tee to solicit s'o sk. The c unmittee, while composed of goed men who are anxious to secure 1 he entei prise, are not more directly interested, nor will they receive any greater benefit than like number of our citizsna. They aro giving their tirno t > the matter for the same reasons that should actn- ate every citizsn of b >th town and county—a desire to foster aud encour age whatever will develop our re sources and add to the ma-c U1 pros perity of all the people. Thus far they have mainly confiueu their labors to discussing the question and endeav* oripgto awake 1 agcnerul interest among a 1 ) classes. The time, however, is short in which to act, if we are to have the factory in time to work np the crops of the present year. * Pro ducers shculd be put on notice as speediy as poreible to 1 make tfceir arrangements to plant such products as the factory will require. The com mittee will, therefore, start to day the soliciting of subscriptions to the cap ital stock, which has been fixed at $12,500. The stock will be payable in 20 ^per cent, monthly asses*meats, commencing March 1 Let every one be prepared to re spond promptly. Don’t regard the committee ai a1ms-*beggiog and evade them as yuu would charity callers, but remember, that while laudably .aiding a home enterprise you are ako mak ing an investment that promises good returns. The action of those of our citizens who will be waited upon dor* ing the next Tew days, win decide the fate of the factory. The committee cannot be expected to persecute the work without substantial encourage* menfc. If each one is oontent to wish the matter wetland trust to his neigh bor to furnish the money, the under taking will fail. A little help from all will secure the factory. Will you do your part?. Lenten Rules. Bishop Nelson has issued the fol lowing address to his thurch touch ing the observance of Lent: All the faithful.who have completed their 21st year are, unless legitimately dispensed, bound to observe the fast of Lent, They' are to make only one mea! a day, excepting Sunday^ The meal allowed on last diy* is not to be taken till about noon.* Flesh, meat and fish are not to bo used at the same met! during Lent. A small refreshment, commonly called collation, is allowed in the evening, not to exceed thw burth part of an ordinary meal. At the collation it is permitted to use bread, all kiod3 of fruits, salads and vegetables. The use ot batter, cheese, milk and eggs is also tolerated .by virtue of long established custom. General usage has made it lawful to take in the morning some warm liquid, as tea, coffee, or thin chocolate made with water and a mouthful of bread. Necessity acd custom have author ized the use of hog’s lard, instead of batter, in preparing permitted food. The following persons are exempt from the obligations of fasting: Persons under twenjy-one years of age, the sick, nursing women, those who are obliged to do hard labor, all who, through weakness, cannot fast without great prejudice to their health. By dispensation, the use of flesh is allowed at all meals on Sundays, and once a!day on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, with the exception of the secondhand last Sat* urdays of I.cot. PASTORAL LETTER TO THE CLERGY AND LAITY OF GEORGIA. Beloved in the Lord —I i the spring time of the natural year the Church of God has appointed for all her children a season for the renewal and refreshment of their spiritual life. As death reigns in winter, so many of our good resolutions and holy pur poses cf amendment haye perished during the past year, the so»l of our hearts has bfen chilled aod harden 2d by intercourse with the evil things of the world, and we need both to recover our lost powers and to giio new graces. Let us look upon Lent not as a wearisome, melancholy season, but as a dear and sweet feast of the scul, welcome it as a period of blessing and joy, and in the spirit of humble obedi ence make it a time of heavenly con templation, take up again our armor, burnish the shield of faith, whet the sword of ihe Spirit by the use of God’s word, gird up our loins for work, and pray that God will enable us, paster and people, to profit by the opportu nities afforded ns. Let us endeavor for these forty days to live by rule, if it be ever so simple. Rise early thit you may give the best hours of the clsy lo the service ot God. Arrange your home duties so as to allow due time for the acts of our most holy religion. Settle at one: your plans foT lasting, prayer, alms giving, commuaion, study of Scripture and woiks of mercy. The ideal and profitable Lent is not a time of senti* meat, but of a genuine and hearty practice. Make a few rules and keep them We?r a cheerful countenance, do all your duties well, serve God and help your neighbor. The forty days through which we are passing arc in remembrance ot our blessed Lord's fast of forty days in the wilderness, when the Church calls us toexunine ourselves,to repent and confess onr sins, to bring forth fruit meet for repentance, in prayer, almsdeeds and fasting, belore we ap proach our Easter CcramunioD. Do not throw oway the precious* assistance of God’s word aud sacra meats, and keep as close as possible to the side cf y6ur Master and Savior Jesns. Let Him teach you from His cross that you may share the glory oi His' resurrection. Loviogly your Bishop, Cl-ELAND KlNLOCH NELSON. ABOUT THE STREETS. A Suggestion to the City Coun cil. Thohasville, Ga , Feb. 10. ’94. Editor Times Enterprise: Dear Sib: By today’s issue of your paper I see there will probably be some action taken by which the houses in'the city are to be numbered and the street signs put up_ wherev er needed. This is indeed a “move in the right direction,” and I hope it will be done at an early date. In view of this I have a suggestion to make which I think worthy of con sideration. It is this: Instead of keep ing the same oM names, with which none of ns are familiar, why not num ber all the streets and call those run ning one way avenues acd those running across the avenues, streets ? If this were done any one knowing a number and street would have no trouble in finding the place. Let’s see how it would be. For in stance, suppose we begin on the north side of the B. F. & W. station and number all those streets running east and west. Stevens street would be 1st street, Madison 2nd, ('et Broad remain as it is,) Crowford, 4th, Daw- eon, 5tb, Seward, 6tfi, Hansel), 7tb, etc. Again, beginning at railroad on the east, we would have the streets crossing the others which we would call avenues. Smith ' Avenue would be 1st Avenue, McLean, 2nd, Rem ington, 3rd, Warren street, 4th Ave nue, Jackson, 5tb, Jefferson, Cth, Washington, 7th, Monroe, 8th, etc. The squares will be numbered by hun dreds. The advantage would be in this. Suppose we wanted to find 750 5 th street, we would know at once it was between 7th and 8 h Avenues. In the same way 320, 5th Avenue, would be on 5th Avenue belwesn 3rd and 4th streets. Some minor streets would retain their names if they were very irs regular. There would bo no trouble about getting the new names con founded with the old, as very few of even the old residents are familiar with the name3 of moro than half a dozsn streets. I hope some such plan as this will bs considered by onr city fathers b?f >re any definite action taken. A Resident. Colt’s great armory at Hartford, Conn, was partially destroyed by fire on Sunday night. Russell will hardly meet with any serious opposition in the race for con gress, says the Moultrie Banner. Mr. Louis F. Garrard has shied his castor in the ring aeu says that he is a candidate for United Slates Senator. A Pretty Poem. The following lines, dedicated to one of the moat charming ladies in Thom8sville, were composed by a gentleman in New York : Hither and thlther—every where! As a butterfly flits through the summer air. Dipping to taste tho breath of a flower That nods in the drowsy noonday hour— Is tho charm iu lhat halo of golden hair? Or th© happy face, so passing fair? Either aud thither, for oio and all, A smile for ttc great, a smile for tho small. And tho poor and lowly, the wealthy and high, Think the world looks brighter when she goes by— And I fancy a benediction slips From the curvo of her dainty finger tips! Hither an 1 thither, the lire long day, Sho floats like a beautiful bird of prey. To spirit away er.nul and caro With that wondot ful, tallsmanic air— > h mo, my heart, can we make it scorn That it’s really a woman? Or inly a dream? —Philo Mela. Kolb is again a candidate for gov- J ernor of Alabama. The democrats will knock him out again. Of course they will. Now let democTais in the senate pull themselves together on the Wil son tariff bill. Touch elbows, gentle men. No shirking. With Lewis Rcdwine and Harry Hill in the penitentiary the moral at mosphere of Atlanta ought to show marked improvement. If there is a moro fearless and con sistent democratic paper in Georgia than tli8 Valdosta Times, it does not find its way to this office. This end of the state is entitled to either the senator or governor. We’il compromise on the senator. And hia name is Henry G. Turner. Georgia politicians aro resting on their oars. They are getting their wind for a big spurt this summer and fa’l. There will be some lively pull ing. May the best men win* The country will hold the senate responsible for the passage of the Wilson bill in substantially the shape in which it passed the house. Come to time, gentiemen. We regret to sea that Hon. W. L. Wilson, who is oa his way to Mexico, is detained at Kansas City by iilnes?. He is said to be a very sick man. All hope to heir of hiseirly recovery. Washington, Feb. 8.—The old cor vette Kearsarge was wrecked cn Ron- cade reef on Feb. 2, while ea route from Port au Prince, Hayti, to Blue- fields, Nicaragua. The officers and cresv were raved. Atkinson has fired the first gun in the gubernatorial campaign. Gener al Evans will fire the last one. And it will hit the bu'l’s eye. General Ev ans is more familiar with shot and shell than the gentleman from Cowe- And so Harry Hill goss to the Gress lumber camps. Mr. Cress says that Harry will be made to toe the mark, that he will work just as other convicts do. He will be shayed and wear the regulation stripes of a peni- tentiaiy convict. It is too early to begia the state campaign. We’re in no hurry down this way. There’s plenty of time. Out farmers are more interested ia making their home supplies this year than in politics. However, they will * warm up when the time comes. If Florida hasn’t a law to prevent' tho establishment of a lottery ogenOy at Port Tampa, she shou’d Lasted to enact such a law. Senator Pasco ^ should be backed by every good citi*. zsn in that etate and elsewhere, in his * fight against the Honduras .lottery. Tha Inciraa Tax Sticks. Washington, Feb. io.—Every effoit to defeat the income tax in the finance committee has been uoavailing. The proposition to strike it irom the bill meets with little favor on the floor of the senate. This feature of the bill will not be a’lered. A duty of i cent will be put on refined sugar, and i 1-4 cents on raw.. This will completely kill the trust. When asked tosday if this schedule had been decided upon finally, Senator Voorhees said: ‘ The trust is a hydra-headed monster that must bo killed.” He refused to make another statement.
