We find the following item in the Eufaula
Tunes and -fetcs: ''Ihe Central Railroad am

Thomasville Enterprise. .sThOmasvIlIe is
literally crammed and jammed. The hotels
ana boarding houses are all full, and-Owing
perhaps to the recent cold spaps in the North
the cry Is still they come. We learn that
last thursday evening a bus load of visitors
were driven all over town In search of quar-
ters. and the Mitchell House has demands for
all It can accommodate, even at increased
rates. This shows that another large hotel in
this city would pay well, and we wonder that
some enterprlslng capitalist does not invest
Mto oui 4iN1 uicdus III sutn an enterprise.
Ihomasyille Is growing annually in popularity
as winter resort, and a large house well
kept could calculate with certainty on being
full during the winter months at remuDe-
ratlVe rates. such hotel in the near future
Is certainty, and whoever is the first to move
IN the matter will be the fortunate striker of
n perfect bonanza"

Monday morning Collector Port and Deputy
Marshal \. j. Locke went up to Barnesvllle

on the Butts branches. But the mOOnshiners
hau caught whld Of the enemy and disap-
peared 10 man. After beating the country
all night long the party returned TO the city
pretty well used up. but without having

for the most part finds its sale in Griffin. and
has been traced from that point 10 the neigh
borhood invaded by the raiders"
Augusta Ereaing Neles: "a very sad and
sudden death occurred in the Grav building

When sherman made his hummer march
through Milledgeville in 1864 the soldiers of

We find the following in the Reidsville En-
ter2,rfse IN reference to tampering with mail
matter between savannah and Excelsior and
Reidsyille, which should engage the attention
on the post office authorities: 'One of the
most aggravating and meanest things with
which we have TO contend Is our mail being
stopped somewhere on the route. Our Savan-
nah papers are often taken out and used from
one mail day 20 the next and sometimes are
not sent on at all. If people don't like papers
well enough TO pay for them they ought TO Dc
honest enough TO let other peoples alone
BHftOck BdHNeF. I'VE are troubled in the
same manner, and no doubt the same set of
pirates are preying upon both our mails. 4
few weeks ago we received a Hinesvile Gd-
sstfe addressed To NJ. L. Lanier in the wrapper
from which the Savannah MORNING NEws
had been slipped. When they got through
with the NEWS they got hold of the wrong
paper and never did forward the NEWS, and
robbed Mr.. LanieF Of his paper. II we can
locate Mr.. Ianier's post office we can make a
case FOR ncle sam, and turn over TO him one
OF his POstmasters for investigation
