THOMASVILLE
A WORD TO MALCONTENTS. '
: ; . (Communicated)
T0.TI10 Times-Enterprise:
While no right-thinking citizen would
say or do aught to limit or hinder per
fect freedom of conduct and opinion in
the selection'of successors to the excell
ent gentlemen who have so wisely
directed our municipal affairs durirg
the year now drawing to a close, yet
there, are symptoms in certain quarters *
of captious discontent that Should be •
checked ‘before they ripen into open op
position. ^
That every municipal ticket hitherto ^
suggested in your columns should have *j
1 included ^comfortable majority of Daw-
1 son street residents is a most significant
circumstance, and in the highest degree
> creditable to our city electorate. This m
1 expression of popular confidence seems
- as natural and spontaneous as x it un-
■ questionably is just and fortunate; and
it iB inconceivable that any citizen .
should be so wanting in regard for the
public welfare as to seek to check' the
9 current of popular favor now setting
b so strongly in the 'direction of a parti-
I cular portion of our city. ,
What place, Messrs. Editors, can the
s mere circumstance of locality or resi-
a dence have in the business of selecting
e men best fitted for the upbuilding of
1 our beautiful city? What matters it
•, that a angle member/ or any number of
a members of the New Board, shall re-
a side on a single block, or on a particular
ir street? Is it not indeed, the wiser opin-
- ion, that other things being equal, it
•- would be more in the line of efficient
d administration if all the members of the
o Board should happen to reside on a sin-
n gle street? , The convenience of such at
n arrangement should readily impress
even the least reflecting citizen. In-
« stead of maintaining at greater or less
d expense, a co6tly and luxurious council
le chamber, the official meetings of the
board could be held at the home of edcl;
member in turn, where their delibera-
7 ~ tions would be undisturbed by x the rush
and roar of Broad street traffic; .and the
' v persons of the members be safe from the
is perils of midnight pilgrimages through
a " ill-lighted and unfrequented street^
a Our valiant and vigilant police too
would get some immunity from the pit-
falls and perils of Sandy- Bottom, and
from the dangers that lurk in the reoes-
lf * ses of Magnolia Park. Surely such an

A PROTEST.
A vigorous voice of protest is raised
in regard to one of the evils of the
day. ... ''
“The Lights mpd Shadows of Christ*
maslide” was the Subject of a highly
interesting sermon preached a few
nights ago by the Bev. Dr. Daniel Mar
tin. pastor of the Clinton Avenue' Re
form church, Newark, N. J. In the
course of his remarks he said:
' “One of the evils of the day is the
leaving of Christmas shopping until the
la*t minute, and all of our purchases
must be delivered before Christmas
morning, no matter who dies in the ef
fort. You women brought a lot of
trouble into the world and you h£ve
been keeping it up. Won’t you do some
one a kindness? Won’t you go to tbe
stores and do all your shopping this
weeb? Don’t take a clerk’s time for half
an hour when yon intend to buy an ar
ticle that costs ten cents.”
ELECTIONETTES.
Good, morning have you announced
tor alderman yet? | . 1
Some of the entries in Thomasville’s <
municipal race are state politicians and
the Atlanta Journal has this to sayofone :
of them; “Our old friendCharley Hansell i
known all over Georgia, is running for
alderman down in Thomasville. Of
•ourse, he will be .elected, but we don’t
know whether we are for him or not, 1
because we are afraid his aldermanic
duties might keep him away from At
lanta during the sessions of the legisla
ture.” For the relief of the Journal man
wewill say that the Captain hasn’t been
elected yet. When he is, if he is, by
turning back into the treasury a prorata
share of his munificent aldermanic
salary of $0000.00 per year, he can doubt
'’less secure leave of absence.
If all the candidates for aldermen
could combine and each vote for all the
ethers, it seems as if they all ought to
be elected.
Times* have changed- A few years
ago it was difficult to find anyone to
ran for alderman. Now you can’t walk
down Broad street without meeting a
torrid candidatical hand shake.
The thirst for office is as general and
intense as the desire of an A. K- trained
palate for more.
The sweet sugared accents of the lover
tohis lass are being reproduced in the
honeyed tones of the candidate to the
voter. . •
The race problem is agitating Thom-
viUcf most wonderfully at present. That
is the race for office.
A dozen of eggs might prove a tempt
ing bribe to a voter. Eggs are 40 cents
per you know.
The defeated ones can, say that vox
populi isn’t.vox dei’any more.
Two to one on Mitelve.il, is still the
betting slogan,

City.
The late Col. John Cockerell in The
Cosmopolitan said “There are three uni*
que cities in America, and one of these
is Salt Lake City.” It is not only uni
que in its temple, tabernacle and other
Mormon church institutions, but quaint
in appearance, with its wide, streets, im
mense blocks and martial rows of shade
trees, ft has, perhaps, more attractions
to the square yard.than any city in the
country, and its climate, while temper
ate all the year round, is particularly
delightful in summer. The Gfeat Salt
Lake, with its magnificent Saltair resort,
where the water is “deader and denser**
than that in the Dead Sea in Palestine,
is an attraction in itself that people
come miles to see. There are many
cool mountain and'lake resorts near by.
also numerous very pretty canon and

deal includes the shops, of the latter
