DEATHS NEAR DAIV80N.
Dawson, Oct. 8 Mrs. O. A.
Crittenden died at her residence in
this county, four miles west of
Dawson, last Monday afternoon
alter an illness ot one week, and
wap buried at Ward’s Station yes-
terdny, Rev. P. S. Twitty perform
ing the funeral services. Mrs. C.
was about to years of age, and a
most intelligent and worthy Chris
tian lady. Her death wilt be sadly
felt and much regretted through
out the county, and especially in
tbe vicinity of Grave’s Station,
whe r e the resided.
Mr. John Martin, of this county,
died at bis residence, two miles
northeast of this place, at 11
o’clock last night, of something
like cancer ia tbe head. He was
sixty-odd years of ago and ha*
been a sufferer for several years.
He was a good husband and father,
a faitbfhl friend, a good man and
citizen, and leaves many relatives
and tritnds to mourn his loss. He
will be interred in the Dawson
cemetery this afternoon.
Mr. Thos. L. McGehee has sold
his plantation, crops and stock,
and will leave old Georgia in a few
days for the we9t. He intends
locating near San Antonio, Texas,
and engaging in tbe beef business.
We wish him unbounded success
in his anticipated enterprise, but
regret to lose so good a citizen
from onr county and State.
Mr. E. 0. Paschal, formerly of
our city, now of Eatonton, Ga., is
on a visit to his uncle, Dr. W. C
Paschal, and is accompanied by
bis beautiful young wife, nee Miss
Mattie Turner, daughter of W. H.
Turner, Esq., of this place. This
is quite a young couple, as gay as
larks, and are heartily welcomed to
oju city- by llidir relative* and'
many friends, notwithstanding
they took us by surprise.
Uucle Jacob Reed has just re
turned from Talbott county, and
will remain in onr city with bis
son in-law, Judge W. F. Orr,
through the winter, as usual. He
ptssed the summer months in
Wilks, Columbia and Talbott coun
ties with his sons and other rela
tives, as has been his custom lor
several years past. Every man,
woman and child in Dawson loves
“Uncle Jake,” and is delighted to
see and talk with him on his re
turn from his summer trips. He
says the drought has been more
severe in Talbot than here; that
they have had no rain for nine
weeks, and that erops of all kinds
are seriously injured. He says
that the scuppernongs dried up
and fell from the vines before ma
turity; and even the muscadines in
the swamps withered on the vines
and could not be eaten. He says
be never saw nor heatd ot such a
thing before, and be is—but I will
not tell bis age, ns be is a widower.

THE AHItICllLTI HAL SOCIETY
Takes Ike Georgia Display at the
Ksposltlon lu Their Hands.
GEORGIA’S MILITARY.
▲ Canventlan ta ha Held In Atlanta
■•▼emher tik,
Atlanta Journal.
A general meeting of all the
Georgia volunteer posts has been
called by Post No. 1 of Savannah
by resolution of the executive
council, to be held in this city on
the 6tb of November. There is
quite a noticeable revival of inter
est in military affairs throughout
the state at present. Since
the reorganization of tbe vol
unteer system there has never
been such unanimity of sen
timent and expression as to the
necessity of immediate action for
tbe proper equipment by Georgia
of her volunteers; snd it is believ
ed that (ue sense of ber people
will demand of the coming legisla
ture prompt and effective action.
At the convention mentioned
above it is expected that the nec
essary legislation will be mapped
out.
A meeting of tbe military com
panies of this eitr will be held at
the Gate City Guard’s armory foi
tbe purpose of selecting delegatee
to tbe convention, on Fridny even
ing next nt elgbt o'clock.
At the meeting of the State Ag
ricultural Society committee in
Atlanta last Tuesday, they decided
to take the Stale display at New
Urleans in their hands. The At
lanta correspondent of the Macon
Telegraph has the following about
it:
The committee then proceeded
to the discussion of tho proposi
tion tbut the State Agricultural
Society should make the State ex
hibit at the New Orleans Exposi
tion. Thu matter was discussed
long and earnestly. Major Bacon,
the United 8tatcs commissioner
for Georgia, appeared before the
committee and made a full state
ment of his work, tho obstacle^ lie
bad met with and appealed to the
society to come to the rescue. Ho
was followed by Col. Davidson, ot
Augusta, commissioner for the
Tenth district, who made a most
eloquent address on the same sub-
jecl. Governor McDaniel, who
was present, also addressed the
committee, urging it to tbe same
action. The committee then enter
ed into a vigorous discussion nf
the matter, speeches being made
by tbe president and secretary, by
Capt. R. J. Powell, of Barncsville;
Dr. Jones, of Burke; Col. Mobley,
Mr. Peter W. Martin, of Newnan;
and others. Mnj. Coupcr, com
missioncr Iromihu First and Judge
Henderson, commissioner of agri
culture, addressed the commit
tee. For some time it looked
doubirul if the executive com
mittee would tako any steps in
the matter at all, as the idea seemed
general that an assumption of tho
responsibility of making tbe state
exhibit would involve the society
in debt and force it to draw too
largely on its own treasury. Final
ly, after tho session had lasted till
nearly 8 o’clock, the matter was
disposed of by the following reso
lution, offered by Captain Powell,
of Baraesville:
Resolved, That tho State Agri-
cultural Society, with tho co-oper
ation of Major Bacon, United
Slates commissioner, make a state
exhibit at the New Orinme^Expo
siti -n, provided it can he done
without expense to tho society .save
where tho fund expended is dorived
from private subscriptions made
specially for that purpose.
That a committee bo appointed
to canvass the state for private
subscriptions. ,
Farther, That if the society ob
lain fiom tbe next legislature the
$2 500 heretofore appropriated for
ihe slate fair, so muoh of it shall
he devoted to the New Orleans ex
bibit as may be needed to make tbe
amount raised by private subscrip
lions equal to the amount required
It was further resolved to ask
the officers of the agricultural so
cieties of each county to take sub
scriptions for the New Orleans
exhibit.
The resolution was based upon
the estimate that in addition to all
tbe other resources now at tbe
command ol Commissioner Bacon,
and aficr tho exhibit should be
placed aboard the cars at Mtcon
after tbe State fair, lor transmis
sion to Now Orleans, it would still
required $2,000 lodehay expenses;
that is, io addition to th: amount
now iu hand. This sum, it is pro-
prosed shall be raised by the
Agricultural Society. The com
mittee are to report in tea days,
and if the amount cun bo raised
tbe society will make a definite
proposal to Major Bacon to take
charge of the exhibits. The fol
lowing committee was appointed:
L. F. Livingstone, P. W. Mar
tin, of Newnan; J. R, Hollis, Ma
con; J. L. Fleming, of Augusta;
Pierce Horn, of Dalton; J. II. E«-
li 11, ol Savannah, and U. H. Jonts,
of Gainesville.
It is a lino working committee,
and it is hoped they will lie able to
make a favorable report at tbe eud
of ten days.
A TOLEDO EPISODE.
Procsitlou muU th* Uulll***
The Tobacco Outlook.
Danville, Va., Oct. C At a
meeting ol the Tobacco Associa
tion this evening, Capt. Thomas J.
Talbot was elected president.
Capt. Herrandon tbe retiring presi
dent. gave the figures of trade re
cently sent out by the Associated
Press, and added a statement that
the acreage ot last season in Vir
ginia and North Carolina was
greater than the average acreage
by about 20 per cent., and ibe
yield about90 percent of an aver
age yield, and that tbe slock of
old tobacco in tho market was
unusually short. Tbe conclusion
was that there was a fair prospect
for next year for tbe planter and
dealer.
In proportion to population,
say* a Toledo (O ) special of Oct.
1. it is questionable whether there
has been seen in Ohio such a dem
onstration ns was msde by both
parties in Toiodo last night, and
there was one feature worthy of
commendation, and that was tbe
absence of all bitter feeling. There
was no collision between the par
ties.
It is but fair to say that neither
need be ashamed of tbe display
that rewarded their efforts, but
considering-the circumstances, tbe
palm of the victory belongs to tbe
Lucas county Democracy of being
abio io turn out man for man as
many torches as tho Republicans.
As tlie sun set in tbe west and
the shadows fell over tbe city and
tbe lake, Chairman Brown started -
with the next alleged President
around town. They got down on
Summit street in trout of the
Democratic headquarters, and
found tho people so packed togeth
er in the streets that the carriage
could not get through. Mr. Brown
and Mr. Blaine were detained
for a good fraction of an hour
right under a great banner with
tho portraits of Cleveland and
Hendricks upon it and in front of
a transparency illuminated by an
electric light. And while they
stood there fa the immense mass
of people, boys were engaged iu
distributing the Mulligan letter*,
crying: “Here’s tho Mulligan let
ters. We are distributing to all,
because Mr. Blaine, tho Republican
candidate for President, says he
wants everybody to read them.”
Blaine was as white and livid as
a piece of chalk during tho trying
ordeal. lie stroked his beard ner
vously, looked about on every
hand, expecting his partisans to
raise a cry in his behalf that would
drown the annoying outorles of
tho Democrats, but nobody oame
to his resoue, and Anally he turned
to Jim Brown and said: “For
God’s sake, Brown, get me out ot
till*! Get mo out of tblsl I can’t
stand it any longer!” Brown turn
ed to him and said: “Why, Mr.
Blaine, how can I get you out of
this! 1 Look at Iheorowd.” Blaine
said: “Well get me out some way;
I must not stay here any longer,
if I have to get out oftbo carriage.”
But, after the erowd in a measure
find melted away to sea tho Demo
cratic procession, tho carriage woa
able to proceed, and tbo Republi
can candidate was taken to the
platform erected for him on Sum
mit street to witness the parade.
REPUBLICAN REPEATED.
Columbus, Oot. 7—Both rep ib-
II.an* and Democrats are making
charges that their opponent* are
running repeatera into the State.
To-day the democratic committee
received information from Rion-
mond that a large number of color
ed men are being imported fro*
'.hat eity to Ohio. They received
copies of two advertisements out
from Richmond newspapers. One
ot them reads:
Wantid—Two hundred colored
miners and laborers, with or with
out families, to lie ready to start to
start lor Ohm Tuesday, September
22. High wages. J.P.Justis,
Employment Agent
This enterprising individual off
ers greater inducements than are
held out in tbe foregoing adver
tisement.
Wanted—One hundred coal
miners to start to Ohio on Tuos-
dav .September 80. Wages from
$2.50 to $3 per day.
J. P. JuSTIS,
Employment Agent.
Upon tho receipt of these adver
tisements it was discovered that a
person of tbe samo name of Spice
Curlctt, formerly of Baltimore, but
now ot Lancaster, Va., and a Ma-
lionu politician, is now in towo.
Tho democrats say that Curlett
came here to locate the “miners.”
Curlett is said to hold a position
in the post-office department at
Washington. John B. Askew, an
other Baltimorean, and also a post-
office employee, is also in town. All
unknown parties, whether demo
cratic ol republican, are being close
ly watched,and the polls on elec
tion day will be guarded as they
have never been before, and the
chances for the use of money or
for committing fraud will be small.
