On last Sunday morning.between
eleven and twelve o’clock, some
one entered the residence of Mr
Tim Pittman, on Crawford street
and took therefrom a gold watch
worth $76 and $4 00 in money.
The family were at church, all
except Mrs. Pittman
Mrs. Pittman went out into the
garden for a few minutes, closing
the front door. When she return'
ed she found the door open and
looking into her daughter’s room
she found considerable confusion.
The bureau drawers had
been emptied upon the floor of
the room and a watch and $4.00
in money were gone. The money
was in small change Th« watch
belonged to Miss Pittman
gift from her father, and
cost about $76.00 The young la-
die’s name'iu full was engraved
upon the inside of the case
Ou Monday morning the watch
was found on the back Verandah
having been returned during the
night. It is presumed that the
thief, when he discovered the
name on the inside of the watch,
decided that it would,not be safe
to try to dispose of it., therefore
he returned it to its owner.
The'affair has been kept very
quiet, in the hope of finding .some
clue that might lead to the gnilty
party.

Gordon was loved in ^Georgia as

It was his great life’s work to
preach reconciliation, to heal the
wounds made by war. For this
a grateful people will always re

' The much talked' of Charity
Hospital Ball has beeu arrauged
for the evening of Friday MarMi
lltli at the Piney Woods [hotel.
The charity ball last year net
ted some $700 for the hospital and
i^ is hoped that the efforts of the
committee this year will result no
less satisfactorily.
The Publio Hospital is one of
Thomasville’s most successful
oharitable institutious. The work
it has already accomplished will
staudfor along time as a monu
ment to those who have labored
so earnestly for its life. This
work has now entirely ^[outgrown
the limitations placed upon it by
lack Of funds. The pay patients
alone are now defraying half the
expeusosof operation, and many
more patients could be|received if
there were'only room for them
The white ward particularly is al
most always crowded.
The object of the Hospitaljboard
iu sqekiug to raise more mouey is
to enlarge these quarters.
It is possible.that a German will
be danced the latter part of the
evening on Maroh 11th. At any
rate, the ball will be mode a bril
liant social affair, and will be
largely patronized by both visi
tors uud homo people.
