Thomuvllle
Name.
Mr*. 8. McK. Vanii aent'to tbe
Tlmea-Enterprlee office yesterday an
Interesting and ancient clipping from
the Savannah Morning Newa. It
gives an account of bow the South
Georgia "City of Rote*” got Ita
name. It read* as follows:
“How ThOmasvIUe Got its Name.
“The Thomasvlllo correspondent
of the Savannah News tells how
Thomasville got Its name, as fol
lows:
"The writer learned yesterday from
Isaiah Dekle, an old citizen, tbe way
In which Thomasville came to be
named. Tom Dekle, the father of
Isaiah, was the first white man who
settled In what is now Thomas, then
Irwin county. His oldest son was
toe first white child born In the coun
ty. Ho located four miles from the
present site of Thomasville, South
east, on what Is now the Moiulcelio
road. Then came Tom Johnson, who
settled four miles southwest on the
Tallahassee road. Then came Tom
Mitchell, who settled four miles out
east on the Madison road. Tom
Adams came next and settled four
miles out north on Albany road.
About this time they decided that
they wanted a town. So the site
known as Thomasville being central
was selected and named Thomasville
from the four Toms surrounding It.
A new county was cut off about
chat time from Irwin county and of
course It naturally became Thomas
county. Tom Jonos, another sturdy
Tom, came soon afterward and
pitched his tent, literally, about two
miles west.”

Overwork, strains, colds and other

There Is no real help for the sufferer
except kidney help.
Doan’s Kidney Pills act directly on
the kidneys and cure every kidney

D. Melvin of Albany. Qa„ says:
“I always speak a good word for
Doan's Kidney Pllla. I have some
•t them on hand now and always
will have a supply handy. My back
ofnd kidneys have formerly given
me a lot ef trouble. I often get
wet and sometimes when I take cold
It settled In my back. Doan'a Kid
ney Pills have knocked this sort of
backache out of me aeveral times.
I used to think tt was malaria and
took several different ktnde of raed
iclne, besides rubbing my back with
liniments, bnt I have come to flnid
out that It was (he kldneye. To
take Doan's Kidney Pills la just like
oiling a squeaking wagon. They set
the kidneys going and ns long as
they continue to act properly Inere
Is never any backache. You can
nut me down ns a friend to Doan's
Kidney Pills. When I go fishing T
want a rod. When I go hunting
I want a guu. When I have the
backache I want Doan’s Kidney
Pills.” ,
■ The four business blocks on Jack-
foij street and the two on Broad, will
be paved with vitrified brick, cement
sidewalks, and a granite curb. Tbe
work will begin -at qnce, and will be
done by the Georgia Engineering Co.
of Augusta. Ga„ for the pavement
and curbing, rt'!’ V. F. Bowe of
Augusta will I — tV - • i lewalks. They
were the loive.t bidders, for the
work, and council awarded the con
tract last night.
The successful bid- was <2.19 per
square yard for the brick, with a
five year guarantee and 45 cents a
lineal foot for the curbing. The
price bn the sidewalks is <1.18 per
square yard. The paving amounting
to 19,300 square yards will cost
<42,2(7. The curbing will cost <2,-
700. The sidewalk! will cost <10,-
974. The total amount to be ex
pended on this Important public Im
provement Is therefore <55,941.
The specifications call for a foun
dation of cement, sand and stone of
six Inches and the brick Is four In
ches thick. The material Is of the
best. Specimens were submitted to
the aldermen and the engineer Iasi
night and were entirely satisfactory.
The work Is to begin Immediately.
The successful bidders arc resr.onsi-
blp firms, and have deposited checks
and as a guarantee of good faith of
the bids. When the work Is begun
they will be placed under bond for
the full performance of the contract.
Another good feature of the contract
Is the five year guarantee, which will
also he under bond.
This public Improvement will cost :
nearly <5G,000 and when completed,;
Broad street from the monument to ■
the Masur.v and Jackson from the de
pot to tho city hnll. will present a
metropolitan appearance. The cost
is only a little more tlmn was esti
mated a year ago when the question
was first agitated, and considering
the Increased cost of labor Is a very
satisfactory price.
prl-o Is a trine more than ; tj
that paid by Valdosta and Quitman,
but the specifications call for a bet
ter foundation, which more than
mnkes up the difference.
There wore no bids for bltullthlc
pavement presented. Others wore
the Graves & Matthews, Eosler &
Flynn, tho Georgia Ornnlto Com
pany and the West Construction Co.
Tho next lowest hid was that of
Graves and Mathews, who were 14
cents a square yard higher than the
winners.

Marshal Swatta, of Whlgham, and
three other men who were convicted
of Illicit distilling last week, have
been released from jail on order by
Judge Speer, the attorneys for the

er be guilty of such a crime again.
They wore released merely upon

their cases.
J. E. Lewis, of Nashville, and Mat-
lie anil Zadoc West, of Colquitt, are
3t.Ul In jail. Lewis is there for two

they would he released on Christmas

mas at home.
Marshal Swatts Is the man whose
attorney plead that he was entitled
to mercy because he was so promi
nent in Ills community that he had
been elected marshal. Judge Speer
replied that he would show mercy,
otwithstandlng the attorney's ap
peal which was very much against
hts client.—Valdosta Time*.
