THEHRICE - A-WEEIE
i William Fletcher.
i The sad intelligence of the
death of Mr. Wm. Fletcher was
sprcad over the county yester
day, and notwithstanding the
fact that for several weeks there
was little hope of his recovery,
the announcement of his death
was a distinct shock to hundreds
of people in the county,
' He was taken with pneumonia
in December and was desperate
lv ill from the start—many com
plications arising from day to
)day.. but by careful nursing and
by the best medical attention
that could be procured his life
was prolonged week after week
and he lingered two long months,
the end coming yesterday morp
e b 530 0l
Tbe burial took place at Alap
aha this afternoon at 2 o’clock.
Outside of hislarge fami y and
large circle of kirsmen, many of
his neighbors had learned to look
10 him for advice and assistance.
He was one of the largest land
owners in the county and he
leaves a considerable estate,
He was about 50 years of age
and a native of this immediate
section, and one of the best
known men among the people of
the county, all of whom had
learded to respect his conserva
tive business judgment.
It has been often said since his
serious illness that no maa would
be more greatly missed by his
neighbors, - He was a great man
in his family, affe:tionate and
thoughttul, a kind neighbor and
one of the best men of his sec
tion.
We especially sympathize with
bis family in this their very sad
bereavement.
By order of Mayor Paulk the
business houses of this city were
closed from 12 m. to 1:00 p. m,
at which time the fuaneral took
place.
The K, of P. Banquet and
Entertainment a Success.
- On last evening the Kaights of
Pythias celebrated their forty
third anniversary at their hall
J.C. Story, C. C., introduced
editor J. E. Mercer as toast
master, which resulted in happv
respones by Messrs W. R,
Bowen, J. E. Turner, H. Brun
ner, I, Gelders, C. B. Teal and
a visiting brother. The tables
were set in triangles and the
room decorated with the lodge
colors of red, blue and yellow.
The menu was printed on silk
and the luoch furnished by the
Selby Cafe which is sufficient
.guarantee. Altogether the
Knights had a very enjoyable
’time.
Episcopal Szrvices.
Rev. W. J. Moody, of Atlanta,
is bolding successful meetings
in the Episcopal church and
shows himself a faithful worker
with his four services a day.
The interest is growing and we
predict much good will follow
his labors in this field.
Charter for New Railroa
Thomasville Business Men
Will Construct Road to
St. Joseph Bay on
the Gulf.
Thomasvilie, Ga., Februrary
18.—Ten of the best business
men in Thomasville have entered
application for the charter for a
railroad running from Thomas
ville to St. Joseph’s bay, on the
Gulf of Mexico. The distance
the proposed road would traverse
is 120 miles, and the name under
which it will operate is the
Thomasv!lle and Gulf.
W. C. Snodgrass, a prominent
lawyer and promoter of Taomas
ville, is at the head of the pla,
and bis fellow petitioners are J {
E. Evans, Lee N:¢l, Ralph Ncel,
M. M. Cooper, W.I. Mclatyrs,
S. A. Roddenbery, F. D. Dis
muke, W. H. Mitchell, A. T.
Snodgrss.
Though there is n«. connecticn
between the two, it will be in ef
fect an extension of the Atlantic
and Birmingham in the direction
that road has solong looked. I
has been in the mind of the At
lic and Birmiagham to exteand to
the gulf from Thomasville for
several years, aand it has. been
tbought that as soon as their line
to Birmingham was completed
this extension would be taken up
The territory to be traversed is
one of the richest agricultural
di-tricts in the south, and io
cludes the famous tobacco dis
tricts of D catur county.
Weight Social.
The public is cordially invited
to atted the 10th anniversary ¢n
tertainment and ‘‘weight social”

Fellows’ ball. Each lady is ex
pected to bring a box containing
lunch for two. A good sccial
time is assured. Come, and en
joy an evening of amusement.
Governor Folk, of Missouri,
thinks that every law looks blue
to the man who wants to break
it. He says The trust manager
defies the laws of the State
against combinatioa and mounop
li:s, and then cails for the protec
tion of ‘he State for his property.
The dram-shop keeper waats
the law enforced against the man
who robs his cash-drawer, but
thinks he has a right to break
the law requiring bis saloon to
close on Sunday.
The burg ar detests the law
breaking of the trust, but consi
ders the State statute agaiast
housebreaking as interference
with his personal liberty.
Registration Bocks,
The voters of this district will
find the registration books in my
office, in the Hanson Block.
