The Golden band paraded from one end of the town to the other yesterday. Holiday trade has opened, and non is a good time to plant silver- tisementu. Let all attend the Golden matinee thin afternoon and the Military Fair this evening. Jake Israels’ lunch of barbecued pig Has heartily enjoyed by bis customers, Thursday. Mr. Claude Cutts came down from Maishallville, Thursday, to take in Thanksgiving. All goods at the fair that cannot be disposed of by raffle to-night, prill bo auctioned off, as they must go. The remains of Miss Sallie Ross, nbo died at the State Asylum, Here bur'ed at Friendship, her former home, on Thursday, There are a few marc cbanqes left on that flue silver tea sett at the fair.

At tho matinee this afternoon the Goldens will present the fine comedy, “Confusion, or the Bsby and tho Purp.” The children who fall to see it nlll miss a treat never to be forgotten. Many ot our people have asked us to try and get the Goldens to stay over Monday night, as they would be unable to attend last night. It would no doubt be a source of pleasure to our people. We understand an effort in that direction will be made to-day. The Golden band furnished our people with some fine musio yes terday afternoon, and it was highly appreciated. The band is ona of the finest traveling, and elicits ad miration wherever it goes. Martin Golden will have none but the best with him, and tho musio of tho orehestra is alono worth tho price o( admission to his entertainments. New York Times. In another column will be found the prospectus of thu Hew York Times. During the presidential campaign the Times did valiant service in behslf of Gov. Cleveland. It is an able, outspoken paper, ad vocating political honesty and re- form, and those of our readers who wish to take a Northern paper will do well to subscribe for the Times. ( Practicing. To observe Thanksgiving and also to have some fun, the Meo ban- boys got out their new reel Thursday, fired up their engine and made tbres runs. They made the short test seventy-five yard ran, and catch couplings. The second run was made in about 20 seconds, and tbs last near IT. The Mechanics are hard workers, and are determined to be ready when the sand bag drops. Southwestern College. While on a visit to Dawson, this weak, we visited the Sonthwest Georgia Male and Female College, presided over by Prof. A. M. Mc Nulty. We found it in a flourish ing state with many added im provements. The people of Dawson are justly proud of this institution of learning, for it is conducted in a manner that has won for it and the town in which it is located an en viable reputation. We speut the night at the home of Prof. McNulty and bad an opportunity of observ ing the care taken of the scholars entrusted to his and Mrs. Mc Nulty’s cure, and we can say that we know of no one with whom we conld more safely entrust our children. They bavo forty- six pupils from abroad stay ing with them, and they Beemed to be a hupp,, family. While all was quiet and orderly, there was none of the unnatural restriction usual to btarding-shools. There is home-like geniality about Mr. and Mrs. McNulty that wins the hearts of tbe pupils, and their rule is one based upon love and honor. Thanksgiving. For tbe first time in several years Thanksgiving Day was ob. served in Americas by tbe dosing of stores Jtnd a general suspension of bosiness. There were no ser vices held in the churches, and the day was a quiet and peaceful one, business men remaining at home enjoying their turkeys, or vUitiag neighbors and discussing the topics of tbe day. To further fill onr cap of joy, a steady fatl of rain came tbe evening, continuing through the night. Resolutions of Regret. After a service of seventeen con secutive years, our beloved pastor. Rev. J. H. Cawood, has resigned his care of the Friendship Baptist Church in Friendship, Ga. Strong ties of love and aifcctiou have bound us together during this long servico. The relationship lias been exceedingly agreeable, and, we feet assured, mutual between pastor and the people. Therefore, be it Resolved. 1st, That iu taking leave oi our present pastor wc tender him our heart felt thanks for faithful services rendered du: ing the seventeen years that he has been connected with us as pastor, and we hope and pray that in the future his lot may be cast in pleas ant places, and that bis labors bo abundantly blessed of the Lord and that ho will continue to re member us at a throne of grace.

J. A. Covington, Moderator. J. H. Daniel, Clerk. Martin Golden. It was a pleasure to us, yester day, to take this gentleman again by the hand. We have known him for many years and have always found him to be tho same honora ble, warm-hearted gentleman. As a theatrical manager he always fulfills all his promises to the pub lio, ever aiming to give them chaste entertainments of the highest order, and seeing that his company ah ways do their best. As an actor, bis long experience and high en deavor have given him a place in the front rank of that class who discard rautjand sensational cffocts and endeavor to represent human naturo as it is. In tho many years we have known him we have never been afraid to recommend him to tbe public, and he has never failed in making good all wc have said of him. Marrlsd. Ur. Jos.

So far it has ful filled our prediction, and been quite a success, both socially and finan cially. Last night they closed until the Golden performance was over, when the whole troupe, band and all, adjourned to the armory, and finished up tbe evening in dancing. To-night will be the big night of the Fair, as the Golden band and orchestra wilt furnish tho music, and all the big raffles Will come off. What cannot bo raffled will be put up at auction and sold for what it will bring, and there may be a chance for bargains. Everybody, young and old, should not fail to attend to-night. He Wouted a Free Ride. Thursday night, about 9 o’clock, Tim Alexander went into his shop and found a negro in there with a halter and a corn seek, and sup posing that the negro was trying to steal bis horse, he hailed him. The negro claimed that ho came in with some wagons, and even tried to prove his identity by another negro in the wagon yard. Failing in this, Mr. A. started to take him to « policeman, bat the negro es caped from him while getting over the fence. A. M. E. Charcb Appointments. At the annual session of the Ma con A. M. E.
