Dawson, April 29tb.—The pre
sentments of Sumter county Oraud
Jury, published in the Recorder,
were read with a great dealkfto
terest here. -That part .which rjj>1ii
ted to the County Court was
theme of conversation. Tho'Clerl
•f the C'onrt, Judge .1. FrC. dirk,
says that he will lay a copy of the
paper containing Lite presentments
before tho Grand Jury of the Su
perior Court which convenes in this
place on Mouduy, 26th of Majj„sc
that body may take into considera
tion the feasibility of recommend
ing the establishment of a County
Court in this county,, worthy a
great saving may result to the finan
cos of the oouhtf, if a County
Court is established. So yon see
your lino of thought readies us of
ten here.
Memorial day was celebrated
here with quite a degree of enthu
siasm. ThcDawson College Guards
were out in full uumbers, and the
ladies in their “labor of love” deco,
rated the graves of our (alien Con.
federate heroes with spring's most
beautiful flowers.
The Commercial Department of
the college iu this city starts out
this week into the business world
four“fuU fledged” graduates: Rob
ert Bryan, of Dawsou, S. J. Stal
lings, ofBrundidge, Ala.,and G. W.
Harrell, of Butler, Ua.,a!l prom,
ising young men. The aocom-
plished and pretty Miss Birdie Mc
Nulty as also one of the graduates,
in “woman’s sphere,” will illustrate
her alma mater in the busy world
around her. Success to this uobie
young lady.
A pretty incident took place at
the cemetery on Memorial day, at
which time the grave of Dennis
Paschal was decorated with flow
ers. Tills young man, at the time
of bis death, was a student in the
college here and a member of the
military compnny connected with
the college. His fotmer comrades
garlanded his last resting place
with wreaths of tho prettiest flow
ers. This was a most beautiful
tribute to loving worth.
On last Sunday Capt. B. C. Ad
ams’ company look the train for
Columbus to be present in that city
to witness the military drill under
the auspices of the Columbus
Guards. The boys left anticipat
ing a good time, and they will have
it, (or the hospitality of Columbus
is proverbial.
One ot the institutions in this
city that deserves notice is the ho-
tel under the management of Mrs.
W.H. Allen. “As a travelers home”
it has no superior in the Southern
States. Meet where you will the
traveling public and to a man you
will find them most enthusiastic of
the treatment they receive at this
flrstclass house. Dawson could
uot lie without it.
J. E. Cox, of the large house of
Cox, Hill A Thompson, of Atlanta,
put in ids appearance here last Mou-
day. Ed is ono ot the best of busi
ness men, and as a friend he is hard
to excel). The lost we saw of lum
ho was wending his way to the de
pot to take the tram for Fort Gulun
and Cutbbort. He is a “busybody.”
Judge J. B. Pilsbury and wife,
of your city, were in this place on
last Tuesday on a visit to relatives
and friends.
A sad death took place hero on
last Monday from an overdose of
laudanum; the wife of Mr. J. H.
Turner, who had b^eu suffering
fron a severe case "Of neuralgia of
the head for some days, in order
to relievo her severe pains took an
over dose of laudanum, and though
herculean efforts were made to save
her, yctshediedlnafew hours ajter
taking the lose. Pitiable to say, she
leaves two little children without a
mother's care and lore, and a fond
husband to mourn the loss of a de
voted wife.

Delegates all present. As we have

whistle so often and no trains, wc

and arc willing to do our part to
wards building it. Many want to
know if.the E.fr. V & O. road would
.not have* flone what tho Central
proposes to do and lot the road
coine through from llawkinsville
to Florence. Say they have seen
nothing to tho contrary, but If wc
oau get the road to Lumpkin
the county will see that she goes
through to the river.
The little corn and cotton is on
a stand still, owing to the cool
damp weather. The cotton, when
up, stands very One. Chopping will
commeiicc next week. The pros*
peels for a floe oat crop is very
flattering at this time.
Mr. S. P. Kimbrough and lady,

Bolden ville, April 28.—Miss
Ada Williams, who has been off
visiting, lias again added her charms
to tlio society of Boldcnvdle.
Somebody's glad.
Mr. W. H. McKenzie, oflhe firm
of H. C. A W. H. McKenzie, of
near Montezuma, paid Boldcnvillo
a briof visit yestordsy.
Mr. Alonzo Jones, of Marshal-
ville, was visiting around the Ville
Sunday.
Messrs R. H. Sutton and Ed.
English, wbo have been at Moore’s
Commercial University in Atlunta,
have returned home. They are
good hoys and apt scholars, conse
quently the president granted them
“sheepskins,” as they term it, and
they are now fully qualified for a
commercial life. They speak very
complimentary of Moore’s Univer
sity.
Though generally the average
oat crop of this vioinity is-but or
dinary, Macou coiiqty can boast of
the earliest oats of the season.
Air. A. W. Norris, of near this
place, has oats that were sown on
the 14th of February, which were
fully developed two weeks ago, aud
will probably bo ripe in a few days.
Who can beat it?
As tiic numerous railroads are
traversing the country, and various
other branches of enterprise are
dawning to the South, the farmers
of Alacon county have felt it their
indispensable duty to sustain their
enterprises, and they now carry
twe rows instead of one. Formerly
the single plow stock was used
only, but the double stock Is used
extensively now, and with great
satisfaction, and those lvbo uro
more eager for success have mount
ed the “sulky,” and even our do
creplt farmers, wbo have long since
retired to the shade, take an active
part in at the plow, (see, they can
ride,) and as they arrange their
horses to the sulky, and assume
their comfortable attitude, with
reins in band and umbrella hoisted,
they orack their whips and go off
dowii tho row singing “a sulky
evermore.”
It is getting time that some im
provements were being made for
the farmer, for ns the great iudus-
tries of the North, South and
the united world increase, the re
sponsibilities of tho farmer do like
wise enhance. We long to hall tile
day when plows will bo drawn by
•team; we long to sec the day when
the steam engine will no longer
practice the uucomlortable and ino-
notonous riding of the rail, but will
gallop across the Held with plows
attached to them. That’s what wc
want to see; we do. W. 0.
ing to building railroads and hope
that tho next representative may
be one that can condescend to treat
us with respect while among us.
We now regard ths Preston and
Smitbvilto road as a fixture. Tfit
officers of the road are all husiuess
men and they certainly mean bust-
ness.
Oat orops improving. Corn crops
generally small, but looking well.
