DAWSON DOTS.
Dawson, March 6th.—A cyclone •
of marriages in our little city. It
must be that the girls arc taking
advantage of Leap Year.
With sadness we record the death
of Mr. Will Carver, whose danger-
ous illness was mentioned in our
Inst letter. He leaves n wife and
several small children to mourn his
loss. “God doeth all things for tho
best’’
Cold rain and windy weather.
March comes in like a lion; may it
go ont like n lamb.
Kaln comes very genll.v anil very
sparingly, and the wells are still
dry.
Mr. Moses Baldwin, Jr., and Miss
Crockett Sarlile were married on
Sunday last, Rev. Mr. Twltty offi
ciating. It is reported that anoth<
er marriage is on docket, but tha
contracting parties seem to be fear
ful of s “leap in the dark," hence
have net yet fhlly decided. 1

been repainted, ana presents a very
attractive appearance. l We hear
that the funds will not be suflMeat
for the whole building. Cannot
tbe Mends of the College make it
enough by contribution? The
writer will enbscribe a "V." Who
trill follow 7 Let ns hear?
Many beautiful and attractive
ladies are visiting Dawson. We
delight to see them come, and It is
complimentary to have them spend
their time with ns. We hope nil
will unite in making time pass
pleasantly.
Three parties in town in one
night is no unusual occurrence. So
many yonng people here that ene
dwelling is not sufficient to give
them promenading room.
The public Friday evening ex-
ercisca at the College will bo in the
afternoon in place of night, much
to tbo regret i f the yonng people
of the town. They are said to be
quite entertaining. All are cor
dially invited tA lie present.
Artesian water will soon gladden
tbe hearts of the patient Dawson-
ites. Never can it come in n more
needful time. Hasten tbe day.
The roses soon will bloom, and
tbe sweet and bright college girls
wilt gather them and the yellow
jessamine and crown themselves
“queens of May.”

No less thaii three acres are being

Messrs. Glover, itichtcr and Karri-

Suber and others are also planting,
but in smaller quantities. It Is

ting up fences, rolling logs and
picking up trash. We are greatly
in need of rain. We have not had
a good rain since last June. Tue
ground is getting too hard to plow
or for corn to come up. Many
think the early corn will have to be
planted over. The ground was too
dry with us to freeze deep enough
to damage the com. T examined
mine to-day and found it all O'. K
With a little min and a few days of
warm sunshine all will be up.
There is bnt little guano bolng

No improvement in my wheat.

surprise ot her family had ebang

morning about sun up, drove to
the parsonage, were married, came
np home, ate dinner with us and
left for home in the evening. We
hope your future may always bo as
bright and happy as now.
