A HBCCFHSFUL MERCHANT.
The Schedule Run by Mr. G R. Thoma.,
the No-Bh<xl<ly Clothier.
‘•Since I began to let the penpl ‘ know
through the columns ot the 11MBS," said
Mr.G. E.Thomas to a rep irtei yesterday,
“that 1 had made gigantic r, auctions m
prices of winter elottilng tn order to cluse
out my satire .- tank so that I would have
nothing left to carry over tuxt season,
they have been pouring in trorn every di
rection to take advantage ot the bargains
I am offering. If the rush oou’inues a
while longer, ft will be a clean sweep-out
of all my winter stock this time, eure."
Knowing that Thomas did net speak
idly, the reporter “set all this down In his
note-b >ok," and then began to look
around to see what the prosp tots were for
a nobby spring suit. Thomas will bo pre
pared even better thin ever this spring to
furnish hie customers with fashionable
“no-shoddy" clothing. His line of samples
is complete, and it you wish to outshine
any ot your neighbors leave your orders
with Thomas.
The best shirts in the market, and the
famous Stetson hats, may always be
found at the “No-Shoddy" Clothier's.

Ada Gray.
The largest and most erltl n al audience
ot the season assembled in the Academy ;
of Music to witness Mies Ada Gray In
j ‘‘Camille.” To such as have had the pleas-,
ureof witnessing this lady, we need only
say that she has lost none of her power.
Mies Gray mure than couth ms the f <v r
able Impression made during former visits.
Her reading is good, her voice 11 x ble,
her declamation effective, and wholly
free from the fault which attends over
etraiulug, her enuuelali iu Is perfect, and
i last, and chief attraetton of all,she possee-
I see that wondrous gift In woman, a musl-
I cal voice. Her personal charms are maul
told, but these are secondary to her abili
ty as an actress. Her “Camille" differs
wholly from any Interpretation we have
witnessed. It will bear favorable com
parison with anything presented since
Matilda Heron made the role famous. In
I very many respects It Is superior to any
thing we have seen tor years. The m»j
. Ityof last night’s audience were familiar
with the play; they were not surprised In
' to admiration by the novelty of thesltua-
• lions; and ths fact that they attested
■ I their approval of the performance In fre
' queut and prolonged applause, lathe test
’ j evidence that could be given of their ap-
II prectatlan. Miss Gray was called before
the custaln at the close of the third act,
when the applause assumed the form ot
an ovation. She repeats “Camille" to
night. Wednesday night she appears in
•'East Lynne.’—Cleveland Leader.

Geo, B. Elornoy, See
Change of Mayors.
’ His private business demanded sc
much of his attention as to require thi
F resignation of Mr. Charles G. Flournoy,
who had been the mayor of Chipley slnci
the first founding ot that town. Under
- his administration Chipley has grown t<
- Its present creditable proportions. At a
meeting of the eity council which was held
last Friday night, Mr. Bobert Spivey, e
leading merchant ot that town, was chosen
to succeed Mr. Flournoy, and Mr. Bobert
1 Davis was elected to fill the vacancy on
t. the beard caused by the elevation of M.,
: Spivey. While the people ot that town
> regret the lose of the official services ol
3 sunh a capable and faithful man as Mr.
Flournoy, they are to be congratulated
upon havlngeuoh timber as Is to be found
In the make-up of Mr. Spivey, our of
. which to construct a new officer. AV -
I wish the town and the two gentlemen of
• whom mention is made, abundant prus-
■ perity. It Is certainly richly deserved by
, each ot them.
Go Ime to the Mardi Graa.
The Mardl Gras festivities at New Or
leans will attract a good many visitors

afternoon on his return from the bunk, he
supposes at the Post Office. The finder
will please leave ft at the bank or with

It
The Street Raiblroad.
We hear complaints from friends living
out of town on the Hamilton and Talbot
ton roads, that the operation of building
the street railroad extension in those di
rections, is becoming a serious obstruction
to the free passage of vehicles, both night
and day—but more especially at night,
owing to the failure of workmen to put
out danger signals It might pay the
company to have its road-bed watched as
it progresses, as the breaking ot a neck
or limb, or even of a buggy or wagon,
might Involve it in a costly trouble, that a
little foresight and precaution might have
prevented. _
A Haggestion
Io parties who contemplate matrimony,
and also to parties who Intend to make
Christmas presents, we have to suggest
that there never was a time that, you

It tea benevolent organization that
somm«nds itself to the confidence of the
public. We have a lodge In thia city, the
lS number of which Is 714, and seventy or
more of our citizens are members of it.
When the member dies it proves a bless
ing to his descendants, as is illustrated In
the case of the late Jas.T. Daniel. The ol
der carries what It calls a half, and a
3 whole rate, the former securing SISOO, up
- on the demise ot a member, to his survl
® vote, and the latter double that amount,
$3,000. It Is regarded rather surprising
that not a single halt member, so to speak.
Is a member or the lodge in this city. Mr.

1
a member ot this organizitlon, and his
’ widow, Mrs, Alice M. Daniel, has received
the $3,000 secured to her by his member
ship. It is said by those who are most
prominent to our bu-lnees circles, that
this order rests upon the most reliable
0 business principles to be discovered in any

. ly the possibility of wroi g-dolng on the

a which it would seem impossible to effect,

METHODIST CENTENNIAL.
This Year to Witness the Centenary of I
American Methodism—How the M. E.
Church South, Proposes to Celo
bn.gr the Great Event.
Tills year, 1884, is u great and notable
one In the annalsot American Meth all rn.
Il will witness the csjebratlon of tne one
hundredth anniversary of the Methodlat. I
Episcopal Church on this continent, and
‘s certain to prove a year of unusual ac
tivity and profound Interest throughoui
lhe wide—Ttentl-’d borders of that powe -
tul denomination ot Chrlstl’ins. Ibe
grand hidtorlu lasts relating to tfiebene
tlceut character and wonderful achieve
ments ot Christianity through the organiz
ed plans and the doctrines o Metnodl-m
during Its pathway through this century
ot its existence in America, are truly
obenomonal, as acknowledged by the '
world’s leading minds, and is one of the
grandest problems ot the ages. With more
communicants than any other religious
b >dy In America, It Is a matter ot interest
to briefly review some of the face of gen
eral Interest connected with the history o,
the Methodist chuich. Beginning In ub I
scurlty and feebleness, It has achieved tor
Itself every where a most wonderful suc
cess. I'bis great religious movement has,
immediately or ri m tely, so given an Im
pulse to Christian feellug and professl n,
ouallsidts, that It has come to presenl
Itself as the starting-point of our modern
religious history.
lu 1784, tne year when the Methodist
Ctiurch was organized In Baltimore, when
U ke and Asdary were acknowledged and
-ret apart ass’peiintendents, or bishops,
there were only 14,988 membei e, 83 preach- j
es, 64 church buildings, no mlsslotnirles,
and no Institution of learning within the
b unds of the denomination. But from
that time until the present the growth ol
Methodism has been almost incalculable.
This result was achieved by men who can
well be denominated heroes lu the loftiest
sense of the word. Accepting ibe motto
a John Wesley—-their cuurch’stounder—
‘‘The World is my Parish,” these mm of
God traversed every state and teiritory of
our great country, preaching the gospel
with power and lu demonstration ot tlie
Spit it—building up tneeuuich. Their en
tire singleness o purpo e in spreading I
the gospel has been their prominent char
acteristic, and to-day Aiueilcan Method
i-ui i umber-, wli liin her varl’ Ue branches
3,993,724 member., 25.839 traveling preach
ers, nud 34714 church edifices valued at
$100,009,001); 258 iustliutione ot learning.
,-n.b ae.ug uulv> rt i les, colleges, setnlua
lies and high schools; in 1882 had 433 mis.
olonatiesiu foreign field sent Horn Amer
ica, besides 1.9J6 native helpers; and our
lug that year contributed for the causeoi
foreign missions tne sum ot $551,74i.4i.
Th-M E. Ctiurcli.S mth, has prepared
to j >in in the celebration of the centennial
anniversary ol the organization of the
Metnodlst Episcopal Oilmen to America,"
which will occur In Baltimore on Dee. 27
and proposes to commemorate the great
event throughout its entire bounds with
uit i ble sei vices and by raising lunds for
educational purposes, church extension,
, and missions—three noble objects to which
the libel allty ol the church will certainly
respond. Two millions of dollars Is the
. amount proposed to be raised tor these
objects, and that this purpose can be ac
complished there suould be no etouDt; it
. will certainly not exhaust the treasury’ll
l this strong church with Hs nearly nine
, hundred iliousauei members.
i It may be in’•■resting to •ur readersto
- recount what America’ Methodism nas
- hitherto accomplished on her century oc
. cantons. We first revert to the centennial
. of 1839. As the first M->tho/.!ist society
> was formed I” London In the month ot
I NuVembei, 1739, so 1e39 became propeny
. the one hundredth year ot Methodism. F.
was accordingly celebrated In Europe and
. America. During that centenary year,
- with a inemberehlp of 749,216 members.
including colored members and Indians,
•he Methodist church In America raised
$690,000 tor missions, educational pui
p uses, and tor the support ot the worn-out
1 preachers, and the widows, children, and
’ orphans of preachers. The Wash-yan
Methodists of Great Britain raised over
1 one million dollars for similar objects,
The next Methodist centennial event
i. was in 1866. It was in commemoration oi
. lhe first Methodist preaching services
i held In this country la 1766, and was celc
/ orated by the Methodist Episcopal
i church tu 1866. Education and chui ch ex
. tension were the great objects ot th.li
benevolence, and $2,009,000 was suggested
as the amount to be raised. Tne result
was a magnificent one, the tha.uk-< {br
ings amounting to $8 709 498,39. or mor
j than tour times the amount proposed at
the outset,
The successful celebration of these two
tot mer centenary events should certainly
encourage our southern Methodist Irlends
to the accomplishment as the noble deeds
r they have essayed. Such a past ought tc
‘ be an inspiration.
Able and competent committees have
tine work in hand, and will spare no ef
fort to successfully consummate ft. The
Genual Centenary committee, with head
quarters al Nashville, Tenn., is composed
i as follows: F. R. Hendricks, D. D., of
t Missouri, chairman; W. P. Harrison,D.
■ D., secretary; Wile. Williams, a-e'etant
