enlarged, rcplastered, and otherwise
improved his dwelling ou comer of
Oak 8trcetnnd Sixth avenue, and the
entire building will soon receive a
thorough repainting, thus rendering
it one of the handsomest residences in
the town. Dr. L. is a gentleman of
fine taste, stands high in his profession,

long be spared to enjoy the comforts
of his neat home.

that his sojourn in the ex-capital may
be pleasant indeed.
—Elsewhere will be seen the adver¬
tisement of Mr. Joe B. King, who
cmiics among us for the purpose of
plying his vocation as watchmaker
and jeweler. Mr. King brings with
him testimonials from his home in

kind consideration of our people as a
gentleman ot repute and a skilled ar

welcome and warm support at the
hands of our citizens.

A Way to llitlld Up Eutttman.
Citizeiis of Eastman, do you want
your town to build up? All say yes.
Well if so, prove it by your works. If
Eastman wii! start a boom amt com¬
mence to grow; all eves will be turned
to her, aiid other places will be over¬
looked. it is left with the people of
Eastman to let their town live or die.
Eastman is the largest and most im¬
portant town on the southern division
of the E. T. V. & G. Railway, amUlio
must be kept so or her trade will be
lost. Don’t wait for outsiders to conic
and build your town up, but start the
work and tlnJH outsiders will come and
help. You sity you are too poor to
build up a town; we say you arc not.
Here is the poor man’s plan of build¬
ing up a town and making it pay him
at the saute tiulc: which has been tried
in all of the northern cities, and is
also in operation in England. It has
been found to work well and pay
handsomely. The plan is this:
Let one hundred men in and around
Eastman organize themselves into a
Land Improvement Company, each
man to be assessed ten dollars cash
capital each month. You take this
first thousand dollars, purchase a lot
and build two small cottages at a cost
of five h dud red dollars each. Rent
them out at five dollars per month
each, which gives you ten dollars. The
next month yourassessinent t9 reduced
and you only have $990 to pay in,
which, with the ten dollars received
for rent, will build you two more cot¬
tages. Now you have an income of
$20 per month, and have only $980 to
raise. Your assessment continues to
reduce, and in a short whilo you arc
not paying out anything, and are re¬
ceiving $1000 per month rent. So you
sec by this plan you grow rich and
build up your town at the same time.
Carpenters, briekniasons, merchants
and farmers arc all able to belong to
this organization, because any man
can spare ten dollars per month, when
at the same time he is growing rich by
so doing.
Now, gentlemen, lay aside your old
fogy ideas, and let us conic together
and put our shoulders to the wheel
and pull up our town. Other places
arc building up and getting ahead of
us. Call a meeting and let us organ
ize. There can be no loss to any man ;
on the other hand he will find that he
has made money. Not only can you
build houses bv this plan, but you can
build factories, and u l.en they are
completed thev will be paid for.
Merchants of Eastman, buiid if von would
increase vom-trade and up ' vonr
town, von will at once organize this
Land improvement Company. In

A Wonderful Spring.
On the place of Mr. J. N. Jones, of
Dodge county, is a small spring which
is rapidly becoming famous for its
wonderful curative properties. Its
waters are proving wonderfully effica¬
cious in all skin or cutaneous diseases.
Rev. R. O. Holton, of this county, who
has been afflicted for years with a can¬
cerous affection of the face, has been
greatly improved by drinking and
bathing iu the water of thc spring,
and others, we learn, have been entire¬
ly cured by the same process.—Haw¬
kinsvillc News.
We are in receipt of information coti
ccrniiigHhis spring which coroborales
the above statement. There i9 cer¬
tainly wonderful curative properties
in this water, and we predict for the
spring a great reputation in the near
future.
Astonishing Success.
It is the duty of every person who
has used Boschee’s German Syrup to
let its wonderful qualities be known
to their friends in curing Consump¬
tion, severe Coughs, Croup, Asthma,
Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and
lung diseases. No person can use it
without immediate relief. Three dos¬
es will relieve any rase, and wc con¬
sider it the duty of all druggists io re¬
commend it to the poor, dying con¬
sumptive, at least lo try one bottle, as
80,000 dozen bottles were sold last
year, and no one case where it failed
was reported. Such a medicine be wide¬ as

Tbo Empire I.umber Works.
Throwing aside office anxieties for
(lie time, we took a run up the line
one day last week, our objective point
being the Empire Lumber Works, of
which extensive industry mention has
before been made in our columns.
Particularly because of his apparent
inexhaustible stock of patience wefc
wo somewhat disappointed upon arri¬
val to lfeam of the absence of the gen¬
eral manager, Mr. Gilmore-—(the plain
prefix of Mr. is at his own suggestion,)
Not to be thwarted in our purpose to
learn something as to the progress of
affairs, we set about to sec amt inquire
for ourselves as best we could.
Casting about us and comparing
notes witll our visit of aboilt one
mouth previous, a mere glance at the
improvements made in the matter of
construction of houses, trdm-ways,
etc., was convincing evidence of that
amount of development significant of
early grand results.
Going to the new mill, already near¬
ing completion, wc renowed the ac¬
quaintance of Mr. Will Jefferson, who
in turn presented liis father, Mr.
Thomas Jefferson. In these mill
architects of south-wide fame wc
found that type of gentleman with
whom a stranger is sit once favorably
impressed, and in whose good graces
it is not difficult to ingratiate one’s
self, and thus it was that iVc jotted
what comes directly under their su¬
pervision and observation.
The mill house proper—dimensions
42x216 feet, of superior construction
lo any mill in the State—is nearing
the finishing strokes of experienced
workmen; the machinery daily ar¬
riving and being placed in position
by Mr. William L. Martin, a
thoroughly skilled machinist, was
purchased with an eye to its worth
rather than a regal'd to cost. Neither
pains nor money is being spared in
the matter of devising and providing
for lessening the cost of labor and ex
pediting both production and ship
incut, so that once set in motion/

, things humming.
Everything here presents an air of
freshness and unmistakable signs of
prosnerity, and certain it is they be
few whose indomitable pluck and en¬
ergy, coupled by a broad spirit of lib¬
erality, more entitle them to a rich re¬
ward than the clever proprietors of
these industries.
It is to thc kind of material that
compose these firms—inen who put
their shoulders to the wheel—that
Dodge county owes much for the en¬
viable position she occupies in tlie
business world,- and nothing less could
be expected of those belonging to the
beneficiary brotherhood than to join
in a chorus cheering such men on to
success.
Wc would acknowledge our imlclrt
edness for numerous acts of kindness
and continued liberal patronage at the
hands of these progressive business
friends, and express the wish that
they may continue to be crowned with
that degree of success to which their
merits entitle them.
Lieutenant “Dan,”
Because of his unassuming air, char¬
acteristic of that ehtss of well-bred
gentlemen of solid worth, of w hich he
is a representative member, one need
be told to know that Mr. D. W. Weav¬
er, Amoskeag’s indispensable adjunct,
is entitled to an appellation of distinc¬
tion.
For this bit of information we are
solely indebted to our prying turn of
mind, whereby in scrutinizing we de¬
tected adorning thc walls of his hand¬
some parlor a scabbard sabre, beueath
which was’a handsomely framed and
well preserved commission as 2d Lieu¬
tenant of the 3th North Carolina In¬
fantry, bearing the signature of Gov¬
ernor Zebulon B. Vance.
We have told this much without
“Uncle Dan’s” permission, and trust
no one will take advantage of it by
dubbing him “Col.,” as his “entitle¬
ment” wasn’t gotten that j way, but
honorably achieved iu the service of
his country#

They Shoot ami Cut.
A shooting and cutting affray, be¬
tween some negroes, occurred in Pond
Town district One day last week, in
which Torn Bali, Jack Harrell atid
Gus Bishop were tlie main actors.
As best we can learn tlie particulars,
it appears that Ball and Harrell were
engaged in a difficulty; when Gus B.
interferfed in Ball’s behalf; which so
incensed Harrell as to cause him to
Unload his popper, the ball therefrom
striking Bishop in the head, inflicting
a painful and perhaps fatal wound.
Harrell, with another negro, again
attacked Ball, when B. used his pocket
knife to such effect as to make his an¬
tagonists get further.
It seems that the trouble originated
in an attempt lo arrest Ball, who was
under bail on a charge of assault with
inteiit to murder',- the attacking par¬
ties being his bondsmen and trying
to effect his arrest to deliver him over
to the sheriff. Pond Town seems to
have some very bad negroes.

A Barbecue and Big; Time
(Jenerully.
From thc Ilawkiwsville News.
It has been suggested to the News
(hat a better opportunity than now
never presented itself to our people to
inaugurate a movement for a Hawkins¬ big bar¬
becue and social reunion in

a big barbecue ffud invite the people of
Dodge, Dftoly, Twiggs Houston, and Wilcox, Tel¬
fair, Laurens, other coun¬
ties to come and see us and help us en¬
joy ourselves as we used to iu days
gone by, and about thc 15th of July
next has been suggested as the day for
the grand occasion.

In addition to the “big eat,” amuse¬
ments of various sorts could be gotten
up for the oecasiou, and the day could
be made one long to be remembered.

The suggestion is a well-timed one,
Bro. Beverly and our “cousins” in
Dodge re-echo the sentiment, “let’s

will contribute immensely towards thc
success of tlie anticipated occasion nu¬
merically, as also iu a mforc substan¬

quest is made. Let’s have the “big

Closing ol* C*ib*on*s School.
Tlio closing exercises of Prof. P. O.
Gibson’s school, at the colored M: E.
Church oil Saturday evening last; was
a grand sucticSA and an interesti tig oc¬
casion. A representative of the Jour¬
nal; accompanied liv Commissioner
Coleman, was present, and listened
with a degree of interest to tlifc dia¬
logues, declamations, recitations aiid
music by the scholars, about seventy
five in number.
The programme presented was in
deed well gotteu up, and wits carried
out in admirable style—showing the
careful training each scholar has* re¬
ceived under tlie .tutorship of Prof.
Gibson. He is surely a most compe¬
tent teacher among his people, and the
advancement of his pupils is simply
proof positive that the education of
the colored race should lie fostered in
the south. Our immediate section is
blessed with good colored teachers,
and Mr. Henry Coleman, School Com¬
missioner for Dodge cflimty, gives
them all the aid in Ills power toward
the advancement of the educational
interest.
Near the close of the exhibition, Mr.
Coleman was called updil to address
the audience, which he did ill jI most
masterly manner, thoroughly venti¬
lating his theme, (education) making
all present feel that he was truly the
r, ... f »>»«»» . the right . ijwltion. Hm
address was indeed well-timed, and
his earth-wide and sea-deep remarks
" vreot a Mature to impress themselves
-itulellibly upon all present,
The occasion throughout was both
pleasant and interesting, and our eol
ored friends should strive to retain
Prof. Gibson among them.

Our town was thrown inlo intense
excitement on Saturday morning last,
about 3 o’clock, by I he ever frightful
alarm of fire. Tlie building of the
•‘Eastman Times” printing establish¬
ment was the she of the conflagration,
and owing to the combustible materi¬
al therein, the flames were soon be¬
yond control. The Iosr was complete
—type, presses, books, files, furniture,
etc., all being consumed. The sub¬
scription, or mailing list, was fortu¬
nately bi tho possession of the junior
editor, who returned that morning on
the 1:20 north-bound passenger train,
troin a trip to Lumber City, and was
in the office about 1 *30, but was not
smoking, nor did he strike a light
while in the building. Some valua¬
ble private papers of the senior editor,
which were in the safe, were saved.
The loss, aside from this, falls heavily
on this gentleman, and the firm has the
sympathy of all. The origin of the
fire is unknown, but public opinion
lays the deed at tlie hands of an incen¬
diary.
Wc learn lhat Bro. Burch will re¬
build, fit himself oiit with frew mate¬
rial, and again commence the publi¬
cation of the “Times.” To this end we
wish him success.

The Ainoskcag Lumber Company
shipped bv special train on Monday
33 ear loads of lumber manufactured
here tor the Piedmont Fair Associa¬
tion, of Atlanta.
Two large steam or scalding boxes
are now being erected to facilitate the
drying of lumber by a new patent
process. The lumber will pass
through the boxes preparatory to be¬
ing transferred to thc dry kiln, which
will materially add to the beauty and
finish of the lumber and also expedite
the process of drying.
A large patent street lamp has been
erected at thc steps at the crossing of
thc railroad near the general mana¬
ger’s residence. It seemsquitecitified,
not to speak of the convenience.

It the manner in which some of the
post offices in this section is conduc¬
ted is anything like a fair sample of
the management of the government
affairs in general, then the complaint
that daily reaches us through the
press of the country arc not without
just cause.
Notwithstanding postmasters are
furnished with blank cards on which
to notify publishers of any papers not
taken from the* office and thc reasons
therefor, it is not an fl ft common thing
for the publisher to lose returns for his
honest labor by a neglect of duty in
