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.

ASK rft'rtiffiFSvd.aftt-sv, 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. JOLLY JOHltPKKKYILLK. 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* rain come. Tbe late oorn, with seasons, we think wilt be os go^d usual. Tbe cotton is ddlng nothing, too muoh rain. 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. Misses Mira and Gusste Kim brough, and Hugh Overby return ed home last week from Dawson, where they bsve been attending eollege. Dr. W- T.
