If. n. W. JORDAN laieamHKC DAWSON DOTS. Dawson, Ga., July *23.—'Tbroagli the courtesy of the efficient Ordinary of this county, Judge H. S. Bell, we are euabled to make a report showiug a most excel lent condition of the county farm for the support of paupers in Terrell county. Once it oost from $1,200 to $1,500 per year to support the paupers of the county, now it is done at a margin of a few hun dred dollars, duo to the admLnble work ings of this farm. The superintendent, Mr. W. K. Gam mage, aided by the help of two hired pent ins, is doing good work lo bring this larm up to the most desirable results. Crops of oorn, cotton, oats, rice, peas are cultivated with suocess, and the table of the farm is wo'l supplied with vegetables. More than half the meet for the support of the farm is raised on the place. This institution is nearly self sus taining, and it has proved for itse’f in the last eleven years that it has boon { n op eration. to be one of the necessary things for this county. The health of the in mates are good, for the location of the farm a few miles from this city is n most healthful one. “Charity ooveieth a mul titude of sins’’ is an adage of vitel import, and we are sure if Terrell counly has many sins to atone for, her wise and kindly care for her poor ns exhibited in this Inrm, will go far to make an atone ment for her short comings, We have the poor always with us, and the kindly hand extended toward them to charpcter- istio of godliness. This community is pained at tho recent death of Mr, John Fulton, uncle of Capt. John A. Fulton of this place. Mr. Fulton died at his home in Randolph county on last Monday from old ago, having readi ed at the time of bto death the lipe age of 78 years. For more than hali a cou- tury ho had been a consistent member ot the Methodist church and his impress for good upon tho communities in which he had lived wa3 most sensibly felt. Rev. P. S. Twitty of this city performed the funeral services. Truly the general ver dict is that a good man has fallen. The sense of this community has been most sorely violated by the recent out rage oommitted upon the person of a most estimable white lady, the wife of one of our best citizens who lives a few miles east of this city. The black villain who committed tho outrago is in jail here, and he will most surely have meted out to him tho severest penalties. This “black biute” is about 18 years of age nnd bis victim is a lady of between fltty and sixty yearH of age. It is the feeling of this community that the honor of our wives, daughters and sisters must be protected. The outraged wife is now in a very crit ical condition from great nervous pros tration, and her condition is such as to alarm her many friends. Prof. M. A. McNulty is back home from his recont trip to Florida, and he has com back to stay, lie says that ho is a “fixture" hero*and expects to remain in definitely in this place, with objeot be fore bio., the building up of his oollego interests. Tho “bos*" will now begin to make things move, as the prospocts are most (Uttering fur a fine opening this fall for the South Georgia Male and Female College. This little city is now a plaoo of solid enjoyment to tho little boys and girls who are here. Children’s parties are in order, for almost overy night the homes of some of our best citizens are open to the festivities of childhood. The visiting little girls who are with rs are having a most delightful time, but wo fear they will look forward with reluctance to their school days in the fall. The two pretty little Misses of your city, Woodie Mize and Jennie Tiner, are hero enjoying themselves in the company of relatives and friends, Mr, J. T. J. McGill, formerly of Web ster county, has connected himself with J. W. Brown in the mercantile business in this city. Me. is a “live man" and be proposes to try to rally hii friends around him, and to confer upon each one the greatest good. Call and see him whin you come to Dawson. We ore looking for another visit, soon, from our friend John Taylor, of your city. This place apparently baa charms for John, and we know that be is popu lar, especially so with a certain fair one. We know that he can hold his head with the best, and ail that he has to do is to “Ale his application" and win. The letter “Old Virginia,” published in tost week’s Recorder, was read here with much interest. We hope that this gifted writer will often adorn th« col umns of the Recorder with these flashes of wit and wisdom. Every afternoon this little city is alive with the faoey turnouts on our drives* We challenge the society people of an other place to show as beautiful cqnip- pages and fine atock as we can, in propor tion to population. Mr. Felot, of Atlanta, visited our city a tew days ago. This gentleman is a true representative of the best class of yonng men of that city. The ontlook of the crops in this sec tion is magnificent, and in anticipation ws are all happy. Vf. K. P, FROM HATCHER STATION. Hatcher Station, July 23.—The pres ent beautiful weather is just such as was desired nnd ueeded for the cotton crop, nnd will contribute to the process of mnturing the bolls as well as enable the farmers to destroy the abundant stook of grass whiob accumulated during the pro tracted wet vveather in spite of the vigor ous efforts to keep it down. Some crops are materially injured by It, yet if the weather be favorable for the next month, a good crop will be made. The corn orop is already snfe against drought and ia an average crop. VVhile the old sandy lands have been somewhat injured by too much rain, the red and fresh land is perhaps above an average; potatoes and peas are doing well and promise a good yield. The veritablo caterpillar is at work on all the river farms, but in small force yet and will not reach the uplands perhaps in two weeks yet, and then it will bo at least four weeks or porbaps more, before the leaves will be stripped, so that it will be at least September before it occurs, therefore all things considered, the out look is favornbler. With good cereal crops a prospect for a fair cotton crop and good health generally, we should regard our selves a highly favored people. Our community was suddenly shockod 9tul thrown into a terrible excitement yesterduy m orning, by a very sad and un fortunate accident. Mr. J. D. Adams, a young farmer living one mile from Hatohor Station on the Lumpkin and Fort Gaiues road, and his wife, arose about midnight, got ready for Mrs. Adams to start on a visit to her parents, twenty miles from Eufaula. Mr. Adams accompanied his wife and her brother as far os Georgetown, where they arrived about sun rise. After a short rest Mr. Adams started home on foot, taking the railroad in order to see Mr. J. C. Jolley, who lives some three or four miles from from town and near the railroad, with a view to sell him some beef cattle, con cerning which' they bad spoken together sometime previous. On arriving at Mr. Jelly’s, Mr. Adams was informed by Mr. J’s wife that Mr. Jolly would bo at home by dinner, if not sooner. Mr. Adams thon proceodod ou his journey home along the railroad. On arriving at the wire bridge crossing, Mr. Adams eat down on the track or lay down in tho shade of the bridge probably to rest, having been up over half the night beioro and walked several miles duriog the morning, doubt less he felt worried and unconsciously fell asleep, soon thereafter the pay train carno along, nnd doubtless his presence on the traek was unobserved by the engine. The presumption is, that the noise of the train aroused him just in tirno for him to umko an effort to rise, bat too lato to get off. His right arm was literally ground up, his head was ent in two places and Hcvore intornal injuries. He was taken up by tho train and brought to Hatcher Htation, and a courier im mediately dispatched for Drs. Dozier and Caitar who, with mnny neigh bors, did all that oould be done for tho unfortunate sufferer, but without ef fect, us he died at 5:50 p, m. HU arm was taken off about ono nnd one-half Inches from the shoulder and was very neatly done. The point where Mr. Ad ams was lying, was vary noar the top of a long, heavy grade, so that the train oould easily have stopped bad tho engineer seen him. Capt. Cline, Hupt, was on board the train and exhibited great kind ness and humanity for the suffering man, Mr. Adams had boon living in the com munity some four or five years and was a sober, steady, energetic young man, re spect* d by all who know him. Ho leavos a wife and ono ohild about fifteen months old to mourn his untimely and somewhat tragic end. Tho writer bad the painful duty of communicating the sad intelli gence to the heart-broken wife, who as be fore stated, was from home. QuiTUAN. JOLLY JOHNPREEVILLK. Johnpukkville, July 22.—Since July 1st we have had but little or no mail, our route haviog been changed. We have a tri-weekly mall from Preston to Weston, but last heard from they had no mail sack, and our moil comes over by chance, but we hope by another year to get our mail by the Americus, Preston A Lumpkin Railroad. The fever is very high and I think most everybody is trying to do their part towards building the road, and this is why you bavo not beard from the ville for tho past few week. I will try and let you hear from me weekly as Boon as we get a mail bag. We have had fine seasons fur the past month, but partios who havo seen the crops say they are poor on an average over the country. Gen. Green bae decid ed to stay with many of us until frost. Bat little news on hand. Tho health of onr county was never belter. Mr. Bam McGarrab. of your city, passed through the ville yesterday, but did not stop. We do think be might have sloped to see an old friend and customer. We don’t suppose he wants us to bring him any cotton this winter, but wo expeot to try him on n few sacks anyhow. Matrimonial market steady. Mayor. . MERRY M0ULTB1R. Moultrie, July 22.—Rains continue. Gross grows. Corn ripens. Cotton sheds. Bo wags the wiregraas world. Partita who planted early corn are now seated under the shade ef their own fig trees, munching their own pone of new corn bread. Golden Dent oorn bre^d is of such a bright golden color that the hens who formerly assisted materially In the initiatory ktage of the manufacture of “alg bread,” find their occupation gone and have decided to sit six weeks for higher wages. The reason why I report no merw wed dings is because there are no girls grown up, and, as it takes twotomaieagharrel —a wedding I mean. Than ii danger of the ultimate abolition of the lioeose branch of the county revenue. Fast as they get old enough some fellow from a neighboring oounty sWoops down and beam away the prise. Parties Who reside near the frontlet- say that there are regular spies who report t$ tbo solicitous swaine of adjoining shires the daily gro#th of our girls. This is bad. They ought, at least, to marry in the oounty and give the ordinary the benefit of the fees. Jupiter Pluviue has retired in f^yor of Julyus Braln-boil-us, aud “hour by hour we fume and fret, and hour by hour we sweat and sweat, nor any of bispredeeesMrs or successors, havo ever been ablo to truthfully depict the miseriea of a fat man in hot weather. The nearest approaob to a oorreol des cription you will find by referring to your Testament, Luke 16-19. , , m , Many people are still planting potatoes. The other day a man asked Jo Jefferson if he didn't think potato tinea would be as good greens, if oooked, as collards. “Danno," arid Jo, “hot I'll bet you they'd mako the durndest beet hash, yon ever ate, though.” to i Melons are scaroe, but peaohet and ap ples of a floe quality are abundant. If the authorities appreciate the valuable labors of the ^country correspondent they’d allow them the privilege of frank ing through the mails, and than I'd send you somo peaches, but ee tbo case stands you must, like auoient Pistol, “eat yonr leak nnd grumble.” M.
