Putted Dnfo Dawson, May 13.—Tbiougli tliv Kecohukr attention is asked to tbc feasibility of to constructing tbe street intersecting tho northern portion of tbe city of Dawson, and runuing cast and west, that it may open up a more direct route to that portion of tbe city, so that persons trbo are living in tb.' neighborhood of tbc Roberts placo may be saved tbc inconvenience of going a mile out of tbeir way to reach tho city, and, besides, property holders who pay their proportion of tho city taxes aro directly interested in this matter, which has become an ur gent one wilii them. No giont an amount of expenses need be in curred, as but little grading is to be done, A bridge would have to be constructed over middle Chicka- sawlinfchec creek, which would cost but little to the city. We respect fully bring this matter before the city fathers of Dawson, ns we have been requested to do so. Dawson lias a most pleasant re sort now for those who in the sultry summer months like a plate of ice cream or a drink of iced lemonade. O. I. Chambers lias fitted up n nosy little tent upon a side street near his confectionery, which is throng ed with lads, and lassies of tills de lightful city every afternoon. Ira is one of our most sterling young men and deserves success. cus has no one moro faithful than lie connected with it. We tell the friends of the Recor- her, and they arc legion in this section, to make themselves at home in tho Recorder oDlco when they visit Amcricus, “ono of the gems of Southwest Uoorgiu.” Wo wish them to see the admirable ar rangements eonnee.ed witli tho pa> per that so many read and appre ciate here and elsewhere. Tho many friends of lion. J. Q. I’arks will be delighted to know that this gentleman is now often seen upon our streets, though ho is still on his crulclics. His long ah- ayncc from the active pursuits of life has been sorely felt by many of us. Tho many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Morrell Callaway here extend to each of them tbulr warmest sym pathies in tbclossoftbeirdnugktcr, dear littla Bell, but we are consoled by tbc tiionglit that sbe is well fit ted for an angel iu heaven.

The marshal of this city, D. 0. Trammell, is n good one. Offend ers hide out and seek a refuge as far from him as possible. In a ne gro disturbance here u few days ago, a violator of the law was ar- nreeted by him and lined by the mayor $42 or fifty days on the chain-gang. The negro arrested wa9 a bad one, but Trammell had tbc nerve to bring him in. In con nection with this matter we state but few appeal cases come before the council, bis honor, the mayor, (and ono of tbe best) being sus tained in almost of Ids rulings. The New York Marine Bank, which recently failed, bail as a de positor, Mr. J.W. Woolen, of this place, in tbe amount of $4,300.

Baneo, OJ. t April LIUL tf Prominently spoken of here for the Legislature is Col. T. II. Pick ett. He is one of our most solid men, and stands high in his pro fession as a lawyer. Almost every one that your reporter meets wants Tom Pickett to represent Terrell in the next Legislature. Let him say the word and he will go. The centennial celebration of tiie Methodist Sunday school here on last Sunday was a decided success. The recitation of one of the scholars, Miss Helen Parks, was admirably- done. The speeches of Cols. Hen derson and Wimberly gave satis faction, but the crowning beauty of the whole was in the collection for destitute places without Sun day schools, which was a large one. Jo Scott, of your <ity,“took in" this place last Tuesday. Brimful) of business, he was on tho “ran” all the time. The Bank of Amorb er, ennnot make more than half a crop. W. M. Dozier, W. J. Jor dan and W. Moore have some fine oats, yet far below their expecta tion when planting and fertilizing so heavily'. Tbc corn crops which have had an unhealthy color from unfavorable weather, arc rapidly assuming n healthful green nnd now promises well. The cotton crop is also looking unusually well under the very favorable weather which has prevailed for the past two or three weeks nnd chopping is far advniccd. The bulk of the crop will be chopped this week. With day la bor in abundance, lino wentber,tho 'workingfnrmers will soon linve their crops beyond tbe injuries usual from grass nnd weeds; all tilings considered, tbc present outlook for- farmers is cncouruging. Tlie fine weather lias dried off the creeks, swamps and made Ash ing a pleasant sport for the "always- got-time-enough” fishermen; tho banks ol the creeks nre well shaded and furnish just enough mosquitoes to keep ono from going to sleep and losing a nibble. Some of the llshcrmcn make tho sport proflta- hie. Mr. Joe Oliver, near Cotton Hill, with bis sons in one night, with set hooks, caught about forty pounds of channel cat, some of which wero very large and fine. Those using trot lilies sre having line siici css in I’nlnida. Miss Willie Dozier is off on a pleasure trip through Middle and Eastern (leorg'la, visiting relatives and friends, nnd will take in tbe beautiful sen lionrd city of Savan nah. Prof. E. A. Reese's school at Ucorgclown is rapidly growing. Prof. R. is tbe right man in tbo school room. Miss Emma Jordan will close tlie first term of her school on tbe 22nd inst. with an ex hibition nt night, to which all are Invited. I have not seen the pro gramme, but am assured that some thing ricli is in store lor those who attend at Morris Station on that night. Owing to tho busy season among farmers, news is very scarce. Sin-op, or the Eiifaula Bulletin, feels lonely since the press conven tion left. quMAN. JoiiNPRttviLLE, Slay 12.—We made a flying visit to.DaVson to day. Wo saw but little or nothiog doing with tho merchants. Whit tling, marbles add checkers receive all the spare time. W. A. Janes bad Just returned from the great sale at Sheffield, Ala., and was the ccntor of uttrnoti'on, and 1 know was asked the same questions at least a thousand timos before nine o'clock this morning. We found the crops on the road small, bnt in good order. Every body through planting and have started to chopping. Tho corn nil small, we think for the middle of May. The oat prospect Is very good; the rain on Tliuvday last im proved them considerably, and with one more godd rain the last of this or the first of next week they will be safe and will be more than an average crop. A few have put in a few potato slips and all hands will be ready when it rains again. Old Charlie, our good old family horse for the past 10 years, it now lying at the point of death and no hopes of bis recovery. He's a horse, 'tis true, and, oh! howss4.it is for some of us to see him die. We always felt safe behind old Charlie. Well (lone, thou good and faithful servant. We aro glad to report Mr. Kim brough Improving slowly, and it is the wish of all that he will soon be out again. Dr. W. C. Paschal and lady, of Dawson, are visiting him this week. Mr. Tom Simmons end lady, of Simmonsburg, spent last Sunday in the ville. Dr. Copeland and lady speut to day with us. Mayor. As a contrast in the line of Presi dents Arthur is perfect. He is the first and probably the last of his kind. Yon can turn from Jeffer son in bis long, worsted etocklags and gray homespun suit, receiving Mr. Merry, tho British Minister, to Arthur in the latest personification of the fashion plsto, and muse on the superior evolution in Presi dents. “When I seo magnificent dandies yawning out of White’s" says Thaokeray, “oir caracoeing In in the park bn shining chargers, I like to think that Brnmmell was the greatest of them all, and that Itrnmmcll's father was a footman.” So when* you read of the- dspdifled splendor, tho extra bath tubs, dressing rooms and the superflui ties of the Arthurian episode you, too, liko to think that the finical being requiring so much elegance was never the choice oi the country never could be; that tbe,people with good-natured forbearance wait for bis exit (him P 'ttrtf where he has been chiefly conspic uous by his sumptuous dresrl.g and where, too, .like the revlrsl of an old sequenoe in former stage management; after a tragedy eame tbe farce—or the Arthurian admin istration.
