Dawso.v, Dec. 3.—Thanksgiving day was observed here lad Tburs day with greater unanimity than ever before. The people feel that they have greater cause for re* jolclng, more to he thankful for than heretofore, and they have be come wise enough and humble enough to attribute their manifold successes and blessiugs to the proper source. The merchants closed their stores, the schools were dismissed most of the shops shut down, aud all repaired to the Baptist church at 11 o'clook aud passed an hour Iu sweet sougs, fervent prayers, and an excellent sermon from iiev. E M. Whiting, and all returned to their homes rested, refr^sl)*d and spiritually beuelltted. It being necessary to satisfy n physical as well as my spiritual ap petite, instead of going home, went to Mrs. M. M. Antbony’i and partook of one of the best Thanksgiving dinners I ever en countered. Becky, the cook, had prepared aud baked the noble gob bler to perfection, and surrounded him with cabbage, ham, sausage, corn bread, buicuits, baked apples, cakes, custards,'.ambrosia, grapes etc. etc., ad libitum, ad libitum whatever that may mean.

BETSY HAMILTON. According to announcement in my letter of last week, “Betsy Hamilton,” Mrs. I. M. Plowman, gave an entertahimeut at the opera house last Friday night. As soon as It was known that she was in the city, the people flocked to D-ivis Lock’s, and the reserved seats were all sold long before night at cents each. At 8 o’clock the opera bouse was packed, nud when thecurtaiu rose Betsy's counten ance brightened up like the moon slipping from behind a cloud, as she beheld the large, intelligent and cheering audience. She was Introduced by Col. J. M. Griggs, and for nearly three hours she charmed the audience with her “character sketches,” imitating to perfection, in gesture aud speech, the high and the low, the old and tile young, the mule and female, the learned and the unlearned, the white ami the bluck. The sketch In which she repre sented “old Miss Fresliours,” in her old checked, homespun dress, bend rug and specs, talking to her self, dipping snuff, smoking her cob pipe, carding rolls and spinning them on an old-fashioned wheel, singiug “Old Lang Slue” on an ex tremely high key ns she walked backwards and forwards making tlie obi wheel hum like a roaring lion, notwithstanding the “misery 111 her side” was extremely amus ing and elicited rounds of applause. These sketches were Interspersed with excellent Instrumental aud vocal music by Mrs. E. It. Griggs, Misses Lots Clark, Alice Glaze Jennie I’earee, and Messrs. Warren Bigelow, Ed Uurr, Tom Sale nud Don Martin. The Baptist church received a benefit of a little over #100 from the net proceeds of the entertainment. Miss Maud Atkinson played in Dawson three nights last week She is quite a favorite In our city, EL11EK M’OEHEE. Presiding Elder E. H. McGehee preached two able sermons at the Methodist church last Sunday, and nU Monday morning held the lust quarterly conference fur this year. The report from the pastor on the State of the church, Sunday school, etc., were very interesting and en couraging. The assessment for our pastor %n3 presiding elder has been fully paid up, and our beloved pastor Itev. E. M. Whtltug, has been presented by his congregation with a $40 suit of clothes, and I think I may safely predict that he will be returned to us next year by the general confer ence which will meet In Macon on he 17th tnst. or that the world Is coming to an end. He says be is saving bis lungs and throat (or that occasion. Mr. Frank Barge, of Web.ter county, Is In the city, and gave me a surprise this morning by criming in, taking hold of me aud giving me a regular Cotton compress squeeze for what, I said in The Recorder about Gen. Gordon. If Gordon has a better friend in this section than Captain Kaigler or myself, ills name is Frank Barge. Last Monday Mr. J. E Waller county surveyor, surveyed the west half of the court house square, dividing it into ten business lots, 30 by 144 feet, fronting on Main street. These lots are beautifully located and are very desirable. They will he sold at public auction on the first Tuesday In Januaiy next. CALL ON xj MesurH. S. U. Christie and Wni.

Pills Won’t Cure Dyspepsia. Dyspepsia, are ever hopeless. They seek relief from their distress of stomach aud liver, and Audit not. Indigestion, heartburn, verti go, extreme lassitude, loss of ener- gy, peevishness, etc., is the bane of their existence and inors the com placent feelings of others around the family fireside. Why won't dyspepslcs come and be cured. It can be done. There is one sure way of strengthening the digestive organs and removing every syinj tom of general debility caused thereby. But this caunot be done by the taking of pills and other cathartic mixtures. Much treat ment while seeming to give tempo rary relief at first, In the end ag gravates the disease and increases the suffering, for it is like whip ping a tired horse, it irritates and urges, but the strength to move at last gives out entirely. Thousands of former dyspeptics are now happy in health and strength of stomach brought about by the use of the fin est of strengthening and healing tonic ulterativeskuown as Dr. John Bull’s Karsapar'.lla, the eondeused virtue of many excellent herbs. It is the biggest and tlie best Sarsapa rilla sold. -COME TO- Mr. Thos. 'J. Daniel, of Webster county, was la oar city last Satur day.
