SELLING OUT AT GOST- For the nest Tdiriy .Days we m*!i our F-ntire Stock of WttlHKtit*, WIX**.**n*l DAWSON DOTS. Dawson, August *20lh.—This commu* ni.y is at the present timo in a con* dition of the greatest grief for the 1o8h of one of its most valued mem bers, Mr. WUlle Janes, who died on last Monday of typhoid malarial fever. No death baa occurred here for many yearn before that left such a sad impression on all as this death has., Mr. Janes, up to the time of hie death, had in anticipation before him a future as brilliant ns any young man could wish for, but his antici pations wore untimely cut off, and he rests to-day in our cemetery. He was one of the “marked young men” of this period, for his social and moral qualifications were of an order that won the love and esteem of everybody, and bis high intel ligence made him useful in all of the spheres of life in which be was placed, by the death of his father, the late Dr. J. R. Janes, the responsibility of the maintenance of a young family of chil dren was suddenly placed upon him, but be performed well all of the duties iu that respect which came before him. Married comparatively but a short time since, he leaves a sorrowing wife to mourn the loss of a most devoted husband, and a babe who will long feel the want of the tender care of a doting father. Mr. Janes hod the confidence of all wrho knew him, and at the time of bis death was serving the people ai one of their Aldormen. As a friend ho was a trno one, for he never betrayed a confidence, but lived to love and labor for those around him, who appreciated true worth. He was buried oncost Tuesday. So deep was the grief of all here that an immense throng followed bis remains to the ceme tery, and the tribute of rospect was also shown him by dosing nearly all of the stores of this city during the funeral exer- oiseu. We all feel most sensibly this death, for Mr. Janes was making snob an impress for good upon the minds and hearts cf all who knew him that his plaoe will be hard to fill. In common with all we tender to each one of the bereaved ooos our heartfelt sorrow in this great grief of tbeir's, and earnestly desire that each one may have grace and strength to boar with patient resignation this great loss.

He was then sent home, physically help less. He went to Atlanta for medical treatment in the National Surgical Insti tute, where, it ia said, he was not satis factorily treated, although paid in ad vance. With such treatment, and his hopeleaa condition, it is not wonderful that on Monday morning last be ent hia own throat, and was aont liomo for bur ial.

Tho Milling World nays that George Westlnghouso, before he invented and perfected bis well known air-brake, was regarded by a number of bis then acquaintances with something approaching pity, becaueo of his alleged lack of “gumption.” His air-brake was a success, and his friends began to think there was something in him after oil. His automatic engine added to his fame and his bank balance, and ho mounted higher in tho estcam of bis former friends. A few weeks ago a valuable well of natural gas was struck on his premises at Homo wood, near Pitts burg. Tbo well is 1,580 fcot deep, and the flow of go* is tnmendoui, tbo roar being almost dcafonlng and scarcely endurable to tha eiti zens of tbo neighborhood. Two other wells are being put down by Mr. WcBtingliouse,and be estimates that bis prolit therefrom will soon amount to $1,000 a day. TAKE CAKE OF TOUR CROPS, We clip from the Atlanta Con stitution the following timely arti cle, and commend it to the consid eration of our farmers. It is this taking care ot their crops after they are made, saving the little things, that has made the farmers of the North prosperous,and it will make the farmers of any country prosperous: Tho crops this year are unexam pled. In abundance, variety and excellence they are without par allel. It is truly a year of plenty. In cotton, grasses, corn, fruit, veg etables, the yield has been enor mous, and Georgia soil has never given such harvests. Will the surplus we have made bo prudently gathered and careful ly husbanded? We fear not. The Georgia farmer is not a great saver. Tho very affluence of his soil and the mildness of his climate has made him careless and lavish. It is hardly too muoh to sav that millions of bushels ot peaches will rot on trees in Georgia this year, and millions of dollars be sent oat of the state next winter to buy canned and preserved peaobes from the north. Rich and succulent ill wasto by the thousands Thorn was a banquet at Austin not long since, at wbiob Govornor Lubbock made a speech. “Whon I am traveling in foreign parts,” said the Govornor, enthusiastically, “I am proud to say that I am from the Lone Star State. Whon I re gister at a hotel I pick cuts pen with a brood point and I write af ter my namo, in big letters: “From Texas.” “Yes,” whispered a gen tleman who happened to bo present at the banquet, “and when the ho tel dork sees it ho asks for ca-h in advanco and puls tbo Texan up in the sixth story.”—Siftings.

Governor Cleveland’s term will expire Jan. 1, 1886. Tbe Balary is $10,000, tbo same at that of the Governor ol Pennsylvania. Dave Monat, of Philadelphia, who wore a 306 medal and served a term in tbo Pennsylvania peni tentiary for ballot box stuffing, has been appointed a shipping commis sioner. Verily, the old guard never dies. Tho papers and record* of Greely’s expedition fill three large chests. “Froze Death. grasses will waste by tbe thousands of tons for the look of oaring and our stock be wintered on western bey at $20 a ton. Even corn itself will be fed lavishly or wasted, and next year tho farmer will buy coru of his commission merchant and pay forty per cent interest on the money. There is no computing the value tbe rieh crops of this year would bo to Georgia if they were prudent ly used and tho surplus carefully put away. Many a farmer will make enough corn to do him for two or three years, and fodder, that if cured properly would be sweet and wholesome food for his cattle four years henoc. If there wore en silage pits on caoh small farm, they might be filled this season and enough forage laid away at a nomi nal cost to carry forty or fifty cat tle through the winter. If our 8urolus peaches, pears, tomatocB, berries, ami vegetables were pre served or vanned or pickled, we would keep millions of dollars at homo next winter that is now sent away for tbe refute of other markets. If our grosses wero cured and pack ed, wo should not have train loads of western bay draining onr far mers’ pookets and impoverishing our stato next fall. The barn is the important fea ture in Georgia’s farm economy this year. The bay-rick, tbe ensil age pit, the fodder staek, tho pre- scrves’elosct jtre tho points to which tho Georgia farmer should address himself. Tho crops are assured in exceeding fullness and variety. Man and beast cannot possibly ex haust them. It is a simple ques tion as to whether tbo enormous surulus will be wasted or saved. If it is saved, it will stand os a re* sourco against tbo possible short crops of two or three years. If wasted, this grand harvest that providence seems to have exhaust ed itself on, will result in simply a short season of lavish extrava gance, and then empty barns, poor stoek, and another season of de pendence. That man is tho bene factor now, who leads the way in saving tbe surplus of tho season’s riebness, and who makes plain the methods by which the produce not needed for tbe present, can bestor. cd away cheaply and safely, to supplement the harvest of tbe poor seasons that must follow this won derfully rich one Prohalily Joey Uagstock’s Grand- mother.
