So many merchants advertise
prices so fabulously low, to draw
trade” and so many customers are
now aware ol the fact, that it is
done lor that purpose only,—that
but little reliance is now placed in
advertising. Generally the articles
advertised are “sold out” or are
a poor imitation of that which the
customer really expects. I will men
tion again to my friends, custom
ers, nnd those wishing to buy any
thing in the Dry Goods, Clothing,
Shoe, Hat and Notion line, that I
do no impossibilities, but that I am
enabled (through the way my goods
are purchased) to sell good goods
for less money than other mer
chants can buy them, at regu
lar prices at wholesale, and then it
leaves me a fair margin as a profit.
I am not selling oil at cost, nor do
I sell at and below cost to make
room; on the contrary, I continue
to receive new and fresh bargains
dally. The latest arrival is a very
large lot of Hamburg Edging and
Insertion, that I am selling from 2
to 20o per yard, fully worth double
tbe amount asked.
Call early and get the choioe.
Also, a large lot of Ladies, Gents
and Children’s Straw Hats, Hand

will not he disappointed, but rather
surprised to find as last one place
where you can ttnd goods at the

Dawson, June 18.—In last week’s
communication I gave you a few
items relating to the recent Col
lege Commencement in this place,
hut to-day I will enlarge upon it,
for as tha Recordeb is virtually a
local paper, and for that reason its
many readers will expeot me do so.
Tbe annual exercises of South Go.
Male and Female College, that has
just closed in this city, were replete
with interest, aad proved the best
ever held here. In connection I
can do no batter than to use the
words of u contemporary when he
say: “The aesthetic and the practi
cal were most beautifully united in
tho exeroises, and the touch of a
well ordered discipline was appar
ent to all. The young ladles and
gentlemen of the college exhibited
an ease and decorum ot manner
refreshing to see in this fast ago.
The vocal and instrumental music
did not lack originality, but hail In
it a beautiful simplicity united with
that which was scientific—princi
ples that ever win their way to all
hearts. The annual conoert was a
thing ol' great beauty, and the cal-
isthonio and dumb bell exeroises
gave marked satisfaction, as the
young ladies and little misses, who
took part in them, went through
evolutions with all the system of
veteran soldiers. It is elbow to
elbow in the South Ga. Male aud
Female College—so perfect is the
discipline.”
On Wednesday the commence,
ment address was delivered by
your gifted townsman, Hon. W.
M. Hawkes, on the subject that
this an “age of boohs.” Mr. Hawkes
followed a most beautiful lino of
thought in his speech, and made
illustrious the present epoch as it
offered untold advantages for the
evolution of the mind and heart.
It was a most happy effort, for it
enchained the attention of the au.
diencc during its entire delivery.
Tha auniversnry exercises ot tbe
Alpha and Eutcrpean Societies was
a literary treat of no ordinary char
acter, and gave increased interest
to the general exercises.
On Wednesday night the“Keely
medal” was awarded to Mibs Co-
riune Yarborough and Miss Dosla
Stewart for proficiency in Latin
prose and poetry, and the “Stevens
medal” to Miss FannieO’ Neal and
Miss Eva Bray for proficiency in
Latin prose composition. Mr. R.
D. Ivey received a medal for gen
eral excellence for several years.
M. A. Baldwin, a geometry medal;
Luther J. Wise, a penmanship
medal; Miss Alice Dozier, ot Daw
son, a medal for deportment and
scholarly excellence,and Willie Orr,
ol Dawson, a medal as befog a
first best man in spelling, not hav
ing missed a word the entire term.
(He will do for an editor). Medals
for proficiency in music were
awarded to the MisBes Vicky WR
kinson, Daisy Janes, Kathleen Mc
Nulty and Jcsso Thrasher. These
prizes were presented by the Hon.
R. F. Crittenden, of Randolph, in
a most enjoyable manner.
The graduating class was com
posed ol the following persons:
Mr. R. D. Ivey, Miss Dosla Stewart,
Miss Corinne Yarborough and Miss
Alice Dozier. The speech and es
says from graduates conferred
much credit upon each one. The
President in a fine Baccalaureate
address held the attention ol a very
large audience to Us dose.
A contemporary has written
these words, which all will endorse:
“Prof. McNulty proves bis capo-
bility as one who, with an experi
ence in years, is well fitted as an
educator ol the young of tho land;”
and this, “tbe South Ga. Male and
Female College, has taken a deep
and abiding hold upon the affec
tions of tbe people, and its future
for good is a sure one.”
The recent death of Mr. Leroy
Brown,, of Calhoun, formerly * citi
zen ot ibis pltce, I* s source of pro
found regret to *U who
him for his many virtues. Mr.
Brown was generous to the extreme
and many a kindly act he bestowed
upon those around him. He estab
lished the present Dawson Journal
in this city soon after the war,
makfog “a gift” of It to the Rev.
Thomas Christian, who ran it fora
while. He was a brother to our
S. V. Brown, who has tbe sympa
thies of all in his bereavement.
The delegates from the Metho
dist churches, in this county, and
from the ehureh in this place, to
the dlstriot meeting to be held op
the 26th Inst, in your city, are: N.
W. Dozier, J. A. Lafog, T. K. Cobb
and S. T. Jordan.
Rev. P. S. Twltty, pastor of tbe
Methodist ohuroh in this o!ty r
preaches on next Sunday the com*
meaccmeut sermon of the Monte
znma Male and Female Institute.
Look for something good. The
Rev. W. M. Hayes, of Savannah,
once a pastor of tbe Methodist
church in this place, will deliver
tbe annual address before the
Alumna; ol Andrew Female Col.
lege, C uthbert, on the 24th Inst. 1
am request to give him a cordial
Invitation from his many friends
here, who love and esteem him, to
cofne and see us in the intorval of
his visit to a place so near us.
Two of our fairest young ladies
had “a place in the picture” at the
commeocement of tbe Wesleyan
Female College—Misses Fannie
and Charlie Cheatham; they gradu
ated with honor. These lovely
young ladles ate daughters of Dr.
0. A. Cheatham and sisters of
Mayor W. B. Cheatham.
I could fill a “personal column”
with the names of many who visit
ed us eommeneement week, but I
will only give a few, as my space
will not allow me to enlarge. Tbe
Misses Feagan, of Sumter, Misses
Wiggins,' of Sobley, Miss Lillie
Brown, of Outhbort, and the Misses
Loeke, of Eufaula, gladdened our
eoeiety with tbelr presence.
We saw and grasped the hand of
that sterling Albany boy, Charlie
Gnunels. To meet Charlie Is like
coming upon an oasis in a desert
alter a long day’s march without
water, because one feels refreshed
in bis company. Mr. Gunnels is a
model of what a young man should
be, for he bos around him the safe
guards ot morality and intelligence
united with the best business quail-
fioatlons. We welcome Charlie to
Dawson’s best soolety.
Tbe north end or our city Is rap
idly improving. Mr. H. V. Brown
Is enlarging bis wagon manufactory,
and Dr. O. A. Cheatham will soon
occupy tbe building next to J. A.
Fulton as a laboratory for the
manufacture of bis princely medl-
olne. If the city fathers and Coun
ty Commissioners will now open
the street snd road running East
and West in that portion or tbe
city, untold advantages will re
sult from the work.
That was a most pleasant episode
in tbe recent college commence
ment when the Hon. L. 0. Hoyl
rose in bis seat upon the rostrum,
and as president of the Board of
Trustees of tbe college, thanked
Prof. McNulty and his esti
mable and accomplished wife for
tbe great good they were doing for
the cause of education. He was
folly endorsed in all he said.
The anniversary of St. John,
the evangelist, will be celebrated
at the village of Ohickasawhatohee
on the 24th Inst, by the Masons of
this city and tbe lodge of Obicbo.
sswbatcbee snd by tbe Masons of
the surrounding country. Hpn.
L. M. Lennard will deliver tbe ad
dress on tbe occasion. Tbe mental
feast will be a most excellent one,
but It wont surpass tbe feast that
speaks so eloquently to tbe “toner
man ” W. K. P.

Johnpreeville, June 16.—Rain
every day for the past week, very
light yesterday and to-day. We
bad no washing rains with ns, but
hear of some to this county where
the orops were badly washed up.
We have had quite a time trying to
to save our oats, most *f them in
tbe field, some not cut, some lytog
loose on tbe ground could not be
tied up until dried, Many base
them shocked and capped. We
think they do maoh better wltbput
tbe cap, as it does not stop them
from getting wet, but keeps them
from drying. Tbe oora is doing
her best, looks well, good oolor hut
is very small and tsssellng opt, we
bfok too low. to moke much corn.
Ibis is the ease with early corn, os
Hi was too old for it* size when fit*

seasons, we think wilt be os go^d
usual. Tbe cotton is ddlng

Gen. Green has returned accord
ing to promise and no donbt will
spend tbe summer with many of us.
His men are small but make up in
numbers, and all seem to be enjoy
ing fine health. Tbe signs are good
at this time for a dry drouth and,
the Gen. may expeot to be troubled.
Tbe prospeots for a melon crop
are very gloomy, it wall too dry
and now Is too wet. $srly melons
Will be scarce, but if seasons are fa
vorable, think we will have plenty
about tbe middle of Jt(ly., fyoai
pcots for a fine fruit orop very fiat-
terlog at this time. (
Not quite so muoh railroad folk
going on now. We hear ,tha^ Wet-
ton bos six or eight thputai(d dol
lars raised for tbe Columbus'and
Albany road, but os Columbus has
no notion of building us any road
we think they ought to give It to
tbe A. P. it L. road, as that will be
muoh nearer than tbe Central or
or tbe Cl. & A. road will ever be.
