There is also euoh a thing aa talk money, and the-telephone people know what tide is. 'Telephone tolls form a good way 10 judge the business of a commu nity, for people are not ao fond of pay log over coin just for the pleasure of hearing their own voice, or some Mend’s over the wire—unless of eonrae it ia a lore ease, when all signs fall. Thomasville ia the biggest melon market in 8onth Georgia. Tbe froit- bovers come here In large nnmbere and they(do the business too. Jnst how much they do is indicated by the re ceipts of the long distance telephone during the fruit season. I Manager Stone ot the Southern B«U Telephone Company daring the fruit season from Jane ISth to Ang. 1st took in more than $2000. This is an average of $30 a day. It refers only to the long distance tolls, and has nothing to do with the local basilicas. Of coarse'nearly everybody in Thomasville has' a telephone and eight girls are kept busy answering the calls-in the central office. j Mr. J. G. Patterscn came back from Savannah Friday morning.

Each of thorn is a ■"«" of wealth, col tore and navel, and they know whereof they speak. They tell of the advantage: of ThomasvUle. and they speak in ho uncertain terms. Their words do not have 'the automatic ring of patent medicine endorse menu ground, ont by machines. Their words oome from the heart and they are anrh com mendation aa money conld not boy or flattery wheedle. The mere fact that men and women of this character oome to ThomasviUe- when the resorts of tlie entire world are open to them, shows that ThomasviUe’e. climatic claims are not empty and that we have the goods here ready for delivery. The explanation offered by Mr. Wade ells the story,“South Georgia and Oar- olina are too cold and bleak, and not sofficientlr green in tbe winter to be attractive. Middle Florida is too hnmid and not bracing enough for outdoor ex ercise.’’ TbomaevUle presents the de- Ughtfni mean between these extremes in winter, and in summer it has every ad vantage of North Georgia with bat few of the gnats and moeqnitoes and none o( tbe slopping over of the thermometer that is characteristic of Florida.

WORK AHEAD. Tlie Times-Enterprw© takes pleasure in extending its heartiest congratula tions to the county officials who wero chosen Friday by the suffrage of their whito fellow citizens nt the polls. AU lire men of experience iu busiuess and official life. They are not now or un* tried men. Their neighbors know' them, hare tried them, and are satisfied with, them. That so ? many of them should be returned without opposition is a high compliment, and an nnnsnal oompiiment, bnt also a deserved com pliment. We do not believe that there is a betier set of county officials in Georgia than Thomas has. This is as it should bo for Thomasville is the best county in tlie state. , There is much work ahead for these county officials. Not work only in their official capncitieH.’m macing out reports, fliliug out blavfrv, etc., but in looking after the larger and better welfare of the comity. They are placed in administrative capacities by their neighboti and they fall short of their full duty if they do not take an active interest in every movement for the county’s good. K^ecially is this true of the county commissioners. The men liave never failed to meaaore up all deihandA made upon them. They will not fail to do so in the fatnre, and the prospects .'or the grand old county are better thaq ever. t The cotton warehouses liave the right of weigh now.
