State Arrived lin The! City Last Night.. Great Attractions for This Week Just Received at Louis Steyerman's The rumors that have several times gone over the town have at last come to he materialized. The anxious ones have says it in a way that deserves a far more definite signature than the “Old Times.” Whoever he may be, he is one genius that is not* fool. “I often.think that the printer’s ink Announces a certain loss,' And the ^ads” I read will not succeed, Of many I come across. For a' thinking man can quickly scan The hidden deceit and lietf; But it pays in theend,my*gentle friend: Be honest and advertise'. The common plan of the honest man Who states what he has to sell, in simple vein and language plain May take some time to tell. But the truth will out with a mighty shout, And the sound will pierce the skies; 1 . So you can’t go wrong to follow my song: Be honest and advertise. Be honest and true in all you do, And keep your courses'clear, ' Keep pushing ahead with a steady tread, 'times already this season, hut last night he surprised them in spite of their watchfulness. » Mr. Hay has just left the wintry winds of Washington, and in company with Ms wife reached Thomasville last night at six o’clock. They will visit at Greenwood the pa latial country home of Mr. O. H. Payne. Thomasville is accustomed to enter taining men of fame and wealth, hut there is'no one that comes here who is ‘ more welcome than Secretary Hay.

Mr. Thompson' kilted forty- two and Mr. Masury forty-one^ Dies at Milledgeville. ' r V Notice has been received by Ordinary Jones that Wmi Briggs of this county, has, died in the state sanitarium. He was given a Christian burial at Mil- •ledgeville. Briggs was a well known negro. Mrs. Kelly has returned to her home in Atlanta after visiting her sister, Mrs. *E. M. Smith. Mr. C. T. Gandy is back from a busi- • ness trip to the West. Mr. S. J. Drake is enjoying a few days hunt at Susina with Mr. A. H. PAID HEAVY. Morris Will Stop Carrying a Sharpened Knife. # Just one month ago yesterday a negro named Chas. Morris got into an alterca tion with another highly colored son of Ham na&ied Tip Sheffield. Just to ease his mind Chas. inserted the point of his. knife into Tip’s wrist, and just to ease his conscience he went before Judge Hansell yesterday and plead guilty. The judge hadn’6 long been back from Moultrie and wab feeling charitably in clined. The negro’s appealing tones and beautiful promises could not be resisted and the Judge didn’t feel like he could charge him more than $20.00 and costs. Bather than run the gauntlet ;of a trial, Charles accepted the alternative and is just $45.65 short on the deal. He doesn’t like knives, anyway and is going to throw away the last blessed one he has. School House Ready. . The progressive town of Meigs has sent word to County School Commis sioner McLean that itivill be only two weeks before they are ready for a school teacher. , Postmaster Wants Assistance in Hunting Mrs. J.ennie Taylor. A postmaster has to do many things beside sell stamps. He has to furnish a bureau of information to all the world; beside deciphering modem puzzles that would put the Chinaman to shame. Yesterday a letter came to Thomas ville addressed “To anyone who knows Mrs. Jennie Taylor or Wm. Addi East- land, county seat, Thomas county, Ga.” The postoffice employees stopped'a scratched their heads, and And neVer a doubt or fear. * ‘There’s many a dip ’twixt the cup and . the lip” Of the rogue before .he dies, Jut never a miss if you stick to this: Be honest and advertise.” AT CAIRO.

For one time in his life the captain was stumped, and so was the postoffice. Then, as one .bom out of due time, re course was had to the newspaper—with what success we shall learn later. Mrs. Taylor must have departed these haunts before the'early teens of i. by gone century, but possibly her fourth generation descendants are yet to be fohnd. If 1 in Cairo last week. A drummer, rep resenting an Atlanta concern, was in the town and called upon one of Cairo’s leading merchants. i The merchant thought he recognized the drummer as a man who had beaten , Aim out of some money several years ago, and after questioning him suffi ciently to become convinced of the. iden tity of his man reminded him of the former occurrence. • ' The drummer became very much in- < censed and is reported to have used ex tremely abusive language to the merch ant, who at that .moment made no de fence of himself. • •„ - A short time afterward, however, the merchant, in company with Ms brother- in-law and a neighboring merchant, hunted up the drummer and found him at the depot in waiting for a train. The insulted man immediately began to ply abuggywMp on his abuseriwhile his own companions stood aside to see that no violence was resorted to.' The scene was here cut short‘by the intervention of bystanders. Cases were made against Ml three of the assailants. They each plead guilty, and introduced no evidence whatever. The drummer had already written out his evidence, denying' in toto the charge of having used abusive language, and when the cases came up it was the drummer’s evidence that had to be de pended on almost altogether. Each of the three local persons concerned was accordingly fined forty-five dollars and oosts. The affair was an unfortunate one and is greatly regretted by everybody, and by none less than by the principals themselves. Mr. Jas. Wade, one of Quitman’s prominent attorneys, was in attendance at Thomas county civil court yesterday. J.R.,Burch, of saw mill, fame, wafe in town yesterday.

The runners are all maid ens and the track a narrow piece of cheese cloth. One strip of cloth about one and a half inches wide is attached for each lady to a railing. At a given signal every contestant starts to splitting tins strip of cloth with a pair of uhears, and the one to finish first is, of course, the champion of the field.
