“That was a very remarkable colony
wbleb a hnndred and fifty yaars ago
sattled in Liberty county and whioh has
given the state so many prominent men
and each noble examples of oirio and
military virtue. Whether of soldiers,
of ministers of the gospel or educators,
who have been pecnliariy exalted to
their work, Old Midway has been rich
in desoendami.
' The original colony wae of three hnn.
dred and fifty people, with shoot 1,800
slates. It was the sixth and last colony
to settle in Georgia, and at one time
held about onothlrd of tbe wealth of
the state, Tite old church, the old
graveyard and all of the belongings and
environment of Midway make it a his.
toric spot of nnnsoal interest. The
names of ite preachers and professors,
pfeoldiere and statesmen, bare bright-
ened the bistory of Georgia on every
P*«*.
This colony gave to tbe state two
signers of the Deelaratiob of Independ
ence. four governors of tbe state, Gen
erals Soreven and Stewart and many
other prominent men. One of tbe
United States senators from Georgia
todiy Is a descendant of two Liberty
county families. A call of the roll rf
the*o noble people woold develop aome
of the beat known tuunea in Georgia.
It is creditable to the descendants of
Old Midway colony that they preserve
Ihia annlversary and they have pledged
their earnest and devoted efforts to keep
np the old ebnrob and bnrying ground
and to preserve the memory of tbo good
and women who have been sleeping
there for a century.”

THE EASTER SEASON.
all the daya in tbe Christian calen-
r Eaater should be tbe moat joyous,
nd of all tbe places on tbe map, Thom-
aaville in eprieg la the beat place to ob
serve it. Here the miracle of the rot-
Direction of the body is appropriately
symbolised in the reappearance of flow-
ere, tbe budding of the trees, nud the
soft verdure of the earth. On tliia East
er jtern, all nature rejoices in the risen
Lord.
It seem* to be a fact that the celebrat
ion of the day, sprang from the Jewish
observation of the Paeeover.Kor is there
aught in this not in anord with the
spirit of tbe day, for is not Christ tbe
true paaobal lamb, tbe first fruits of tbe
dead. The name is derived from tbe
old Teutonic mythology.
Bede telle us it is derived from Eo.tre,
or Ostara, tbe Anglo-Saxon goddess of
spring, to whom the fourth month,
April (or answering to. our month of
that name), was dedicated, and that
this month was tbe same as tbe Mcusis
Patchalis, when the "old festival was
observed with the gladness of u new
solemnity,”
The day is now celebrated in theCath-
lio and Episcopal churches with special
services. All other Protestantcimrches
follow ont the tender and beautiful,
significance of the'resurrection miracle.
It is meet and proper that they should
do so, for there is no more sacred event,
none more fraught with hope for unre
generate man, in tbe world's history.
Following close upon a remarkable
spiritual awakening, when the thoughts
of all are turned upon higher things, the
Easter tide of nineteen hundred and
fire shonld be an oocaalon of tipeciil
joyousness in TliomaavlUe. Every dls
tubing thought should be pot lu the
back ground, every'car king care of bus
iness laid aside. After ail it ia only the
life of the eternal that really conn a.
The day shonld be n symphony of soug,
n floral feast of spring beauty, tbe joy
og life on earth, she hope of life he raf
ter. May the inspiration of this ;*r
feet Baitsr long abide in the hearts of
ThomasvUle people and make them bet
ter and purer, during each day of the
tear to come. •

STAND UP TO IT.
Apropoeofthe omul earner custom,
inaugurated Monday night, of dosing
tbe stores at eix o'clock, the Tlm*i-En
terprlse urges that the agreemibt be
s'rictly adhered to.
Mo,tof tlie leading merchants, ex
caps the grotere, have given their word
that they will dose promptly at six
o'dock each evening bnt Saturday. This
does not mean eix fifteen, or even six
five. Personally, it makes no difference
to tbe Tiues-EnterpriM whether .the
•tone dose at six o'clock or ten o'dock,
bnt ere do like (air play. It isn't fair to
she merchant who stands strictly np to
his agreement for his oompetitor not to
do so. There has been some justifiable
plaint along this line in seaaona
gone by, and in She interest of justice
we hope that no repetition will occur.
The Indies of Thomasvitle rhootd re
member tbe obligation that rests on tbe
merchants, and time their shopping
limn accordingly., Get down town a
bit earlier in the afternoon and allow
every etore,door to cloae with the first
Stroke of six.
A RAILWAY CONGRESS.
During the coming week an inter
national railway congreat will be lyetd iu
Washington. Fiiteen hundred delegates
from all the civiliad parte of tile world
will be present. We do not know
wbat the members will talk about bnt
we know that they should discuss the
appalling Iras of life tn rai rrad wracks.
America ia far ahead of Europe in some
particulars of. railroad building and
equipment. There are nearly thirty
thousand miles more of railroad than in
all the eeventeen countries of Europe
combined. The equipment ie more
luxurious, but ia not as auto.
We hope the Americana will learn
some lessons in protection from tbeir
European brethren. It would be the
part ot wisdom fur them to inaugurate
each reforms at will make travel modes
ately safe. The greed i,for dividends
cannot oontlnue to eat np life and
health. If the railroads continue Jto
trait to providence and to try to mast
two trains pees on n single track they
will find the people clamoring for gov-
eminent control.
Many European states own and oper
