TOWNSVILLE, Ga, Oct. 1.-THE town
Judge W. r. Mitchell had died suddenly at
his home just outside the corporate limits
He was lying in his bed in his usual robust
health apparently, playing with his little
daughter and teaching her lesson, when he
was stricken with paralysis and died in an
hour.
He was at the time of his death, and had
been for many years, judge Of the county
court. he belonged to one of the Oldest
aud most prominent families in this part Of
the state. Col Robert G., Mitchell, presi~
dent OF the Senate, was his brother.
Judge Hansen adjourned superior court
to-day until the first Monday iu December
out OF respect to Judge Mitchell.
The writer learned yesterday from Isaiah
Dekle. an old citizen, the way in which
Ihomasvtlle came to be named. Tom Dekle,
the father Of Isaiah, was the first white
man who settled in what Is now Thomas
then, irwin county. His Oldest son was the
first white child born in the county. He
located four miles from the present site OF
brownsville, southeast. on what is now the
Monticello road. Then came Tom
johnson, who settled four miles south
west on the Tallahassee road. Then
came Tom Mitchell, who settled
four miles ont east in the jacksonville road.
Tom Adams came next and setted four
miles out north on Albany road. About
this time they decided that they wanted
a town. So the site known as Thomasvllle
| being central was selected and named
| Thomasville from the four Toms surrounds
ing it.
A new county was cut off about that
time from Irwin county and Of course it
naturally became Thomas county. Tom
Jones, another sturdy Tom came soon af-
terward and pitched his tents, literally,
| about two miles west.

No Sign of Harmony.
ATLANTA. GA, Oct. 17.-Late this after
noon the third party representatives of the
executive committee of the populists of this
district held secret meeting, All the MEM
bers of the committee except those from
Newton county were present. The meeting
was q stormy and lively one and decided
split in their ranks is the result of the
caucus.
Sam Taliaferro, the regular nominee OF
the third party for congress, was sent for by
the committee and asked to come down In
favor of Rev. Sam Small, who is running
on kind of mongrel expectation, hoping TO
draw votes from the third party, the dem
ocrats and also to be supported by the pro-
hibitionists, Rev. Small, however, in en-
phatic language, when he appeared before
the committee, refused to withdraw from
the race. The effort to induce Mr.. TAlia-
ferro TO withdraw in favor of Rev.
Small was also unsuccessful. A
member of the committee wished
Mr.. Small to make an active canvass Of the
district until the last day and then retire
and announce for Mr.. Taliaferro, but the
overtures were refused with a show of great
indignation by the reverend gentleman,
Who told the committee that he would be
in the race until snow fell in summer. Both
gentlemen are determined to stick until the
last and harmony is the last word that now
describes the condition OF the populists in
this district.
