From tie CdbtittG (Gd.1 CLARION.
MIR. Thomas Holland, OF Poore's Mill,
Cuiquitt county. was passenger from
Th0masvile on the north bound cannon
ball train passing Camilla just after mid
night on last Friday night. He was
sound asleep when the train reached the
depot. In few minutes after 1t left
be awoke and asked Conductor Wight
man to put MIN off. This was done,
he SAYS, near the tTestie across the
slough just above town. Later in
the night the attention of Mr.. Bart.
Anderson, Lahau RacEley and some ne
groes was attracted by cries of distress.
and on going ny tee road tGey found Mr..
Holland with his left leg badly maugied.
1t was fractured below the knee and the
bones were proiruding through the flesh.
He had crawled some distance toward
town. He VAS taken to the depot ana
kindly cared for by w. W. Cullens, the
agent of the road. Glenn Swatz. the night
Waterman, and others. DE-. wood was
summoned and the wound skilltully
dressed. A telegram was sent to Super
intendent Fleming, who replied as he al
ways does in such cases, 'fOr humanity's
sake have the unfortunate man cared for
and provided with necessary comforts"
He was carefully moved to the resi-
dence OF MIR. Swatz, whore he received
the kindest attentions, DR.. A. Z. Taylor,
of Thomasville, the surgeon OF the road,
came up on the Saturday mornings
| train, and rendered all possible assist
ance.
The matter will be carefully investiga.
ted, aud the road, if responsible, Will do
its duty without lawsuit.
In his excruciating sufferings Mr.. Hol-
land has the sympathy OF the entire com
munity, who will see that justice Is done
TO him. 1t is due to Conductor Wight
man to say that he bears the reputation
of being one OF the most careful. polite
and humane officers on the road. He says
that he stopped his train and he saw MI.
Holland safely on the ground, and that
he must have received bis injuries by a
fall from the trestle while undertaking to
walk acress it without being fully CON
scious. Mr.. Holland says that he was
told by the conductor to jump from the
train while 1t was in rapid motion, and
that he called in vain for 1t to stop when
he fell.

jefferson a Moral Town.
F'ra1n tAe Jeeerson "a NoraLd.

No city or town ever experienced a
more decided change in lis morals than
the town of jefferson during the past
summer. On the streets hardly pr0lane
utterance is heard during whole week.
The meetings nave had much TO 40 with
accomplishing this great and good work,
There are no barrOOms TO call wicked men
together and infiame them with strong
drink, and every one takes cool, sensible
view Of the folly Of profanity. The up
right man walks the streets without fear
of being pronounced a hypocrte, fully
conscious that he is held IN high esteem
by me citizens here. Those soliciting
charitable contributions find their work
pleasant one, which once they began with
much reluctance.
This is no excited change In our people.
They have seen the folly of wickedness:
tney know the importance Of uprightuess,
and are fully determined to make better
people. just u few years since the church
pews were empty when services were
held, there being greater number on the
streets than attended church. Now the
pews are filled directly the bell rings.
those on the streets not numbering six.
We are proud to note this change, for, be-
sides bonehting the citizens here, IL will
encourage good people TO visit our peo-
pie, and to make their homes with us.

UPHOLsTERING.



For several years past Mr.. John Bloc
ser has carried on very successful man
ufacturing business at the corner OF
Seventh aud Los Angeles streets. MIR.
Bloeser is practical upholsterer, and
during the seven years he has been en-.
gagged in the business in Los Angeles he
has worked up the largest and most de-
sirable trade in Southern California.
The thousands Of new homes in this
city and surrounding country have, Of
course, brought many new firms of up
holsterers into business, but the excel
lence Of Mr.. Bloeser's work has recon-
mended it everywhere, and his trade,
within the past three years, has in
creased tenfold, Notwithstanding COM
petition. SO rapidly indeed has it in.
creased that the old factory became long
ago insufficient to accommodate it, and
Mr.. Bloeser accordingly determined to
find more commodious quarters. 10
that end he has erected a building of
bis own, in every way adapted to the
business, at 408 Pearl street, near the
wooden mills, and having fitted it up. is
prepared to fully accommodate his pat
rons.
Mr.. Bloeser's speoialties are the manu-
facture of mattresses, both spring and
hair; all kinds Of bed and single
lounges, parlor sets, easy chairs,
and, in fact, anything in the
upholstering line. He is able to
turn out not only the best work in the
city, but also his prices are much the
most reasonable. This is due to the
fact that he has special advantages in
obtaining raw materials and also because
he has no rent to pay. His customers
receive the benefit of these advantages.
Hotels, boarding houses and any other
large establishments will find it greatly
TO their advantage to correspond with
him before purchasing. A material saw
ing can in this way be effected, us his
prices are positively the lowest. Retail
dealers in Southern California and the
Territories will also do well to see him
before sending orders elsewhere. His
wholesale trade is rapidly increasing.
In this city he has lifted up nearly all
the finest mansions, and in no case has
been expressed. On the
contrary, as stated above, until the
present tina he has had difficulty in fill
lug orders, but with his increased facili-
ties he eau handle any amount of bust
ness. All persons who are fitting up or
are about to fit up hotels or private
houses should send at once and get an
estimate from him. He also attends TO
repairing in all its branches. The tele-
phoue number of his establishment is
l27; Postoffice box S39.

Persons suffering from rheumatism,
blood diseases, dyspepsia, kidney and
any other chronic diseases are not
obliged to go away from this city 10 dis.
tant springs to obtain relief. Near the
corner of Macy and Howard streets not
far from the covered bridge. there is just
as good pure sulpher water and baths as
can be found anywhere. The spring
was discovered about three years ago,
and the proprietor has established bath
house with all facilities for bathing near
it. The water has been analysed and is
highly recommended by leading physi-
clans. Take the Boyle Heights cars to
the cracker factory and then walk a
short distance up to the corner of Macy
street, where this wonderful spring
is located. Many invalids are awaiting
themselves OF this fine water.
