The gentleman arrived here recently in a very low state of health. He was accompanied by bis phy sician Dr. J. C. Gutter, who stayed with bis patient until the last, minis tering to his every need. Tbe deceased was joined a few days sifn-e by his wife and two sons. The invalid received every possi ble atteutipn. Although among strangers there were ready ana willing hands to do, and tender hearts to feel for the bereaved family. Mr. Dresser,at one time, conducted .a cotton commission and broker&ke business in Skvau- nab. He was a man of ample means, and occupied the respontK bb position cf president of the ' Cential Cotton Mills, of South- bridge, Mass. * The remains, accompanied by his family and Dr. Cutter, left yesterday on the 2:10 train forhls old home, where, the interment will take place. The newly made southern friends of the family deeply sym pathize with them in their sad bereavement. About Bicycles. According to the Savannah Press there is a marked revival in bicycling in that city. It say.: Messrs. Frank Williams and Dick Gross are going to show the Savannah public something new lu tbe bicycle line in a few days. They are going to briug out a quad.” Those who do not keep up with bicyliug affairs do not know txactly what a quad is. It bicycle built for four. There are four seats on it instead of two; and four good riders can send it across the country at a terrific rale of speed. This wheel, wel 1 manued, is expected to create a sensation the first fey/ times it appears ou the street. “Bicycles are cheaper now thae e^er before. Wheels can now be bought for $05 that cost $100 six months ago aud dealeis cannot keep enough of them on hand to supnly the demand.” There are a large number of wheels, and some very expert wheelmen, iu Thomasville. And there are, also, a number of ladies here who are vrry graceful. We understand that a perfect bicycle track at t:.o Country Club grounds—Gleri ./VrvGiJ--will Que uf the attractions this winter. It will no doubt be the scene of some fine wheeling.

I give the aboVh facts'for tbe enlightenment of any who may be interested in a creamery in Thomasville; The LaGrange creamery had not. made any cheese,' bat fine, southern made cheese was exMbited at the expo sition.

A. Dunson, president of the LaGrange creamery: 5,000 pounds ot milk - can be worked at the same expense of 500 pounds. Nothing, less than 2.000 pounds will pay. ,3,000 pounds would be as small as de sirable. There are 360 gallons in 3.000 pounds. For the average test of milk, a creamery can pay 10 cents a gallon and return^ 80 per cent of skimmed milk. The LaGrange creamery was then running bn 1,200 pounds of milk and yielding 70 pounds of batter, which netted 25 cents- pound at LaGrange. The bo coet the creamery 20 cents.
