DELIGHTFUL DAtVKOS.
Dawson, Ga., Aptil 9 It, 1884.
The oft repeated quoUtio i, that
“% thing of lieauty i»»joy lo'ever,"
is practically verifled in this pic
turesque little city at the present
time, ^e.iled tu it. spring garb
of foliage it ia a must beautiful
place to see.
H’u are jubilant to day, for work
has been recommenced on our
Artesian well. Mr. Jackson, the
contractor, is sanguine of reaching
water now. He is paid $7.5* per
day without a guarantee on bis
part ol obtaining water.
The question of building a new
hotel of large dimensions is being
seiiously agitated by our citizens,
Had Dawron ten years ago built
such a hotel it would, up to this
time have doubled its population
On the score ol health this city
the equal of the healthiest cities
and if it bad more hotel facili'ies
it would invite visitors from abroad
We think the hotel will be built,
Tho commencement exercises of
the South Georgia Male and Fe
mule College will open on thekili
of June with a •ermon from the
distinguished Baptist preacher,
Rev. M. M. Womboil, of Alabama.
Dawson is blessed in its private
schools. I*iof. J. tV. F Lowery
nn educator of varied attainments
is Principal of a first-class school
here,having up to this time manic-
utaled one hundred pupils, and
tli© “home school" taught by Miss
Auncs Pilsliury is well patronized
So from this you will readily see
that Dawson Is ''progressive" in
matters of education. “Eternal
vigilance is the price of liberty,’ 1
nnd education will make our sons
and daughters vigilant.
A few miles from here ia the lit
tle village of Chicknsuwhatchee
(Sasser). Us location makes it the
"gem of the woods.” Under the
inspiration of its forest beauties
the average editor from a visit to
tile place might he aide to write
lair spring poetry. The pulpit oi
the Baptist church in the village
is filled most acceptably by Kev.
Mr. Tlinrpe, of your county. He
is a good preacher and is roost nc
eeptable as a pastor to the people
he serves. On next Sunday an all
day's singing will be held at the
Methodist church in the village. A
cordial invitation is extended loall
to attend. Won’t the lads and las
sics of tills pretty little place have
a nice time?
Misses Ilosa IUyncs and Matti
Hawkins, of your city, visited this
place on Saturday last.
The Amebiccs Recorder is a fix
lure here and in the county and it is
most surely exercising an inealeu
labic influence for good upon all
who read it. To day we send you
another first-class subscriber, which
makes the tenth subscriber obtain
ed in a few days post.
We are looking for a visit from
the "Senior." He mu«n't delay bis
visit for wc are all anxious to grssp

Ji UNPRKKViLLK, April 7tb Did
yon ever receive an invitation to a
turkey dinner? We received one
last week, and of course wa< < n
band. Ob, how I did wish ye Edi
tor could have been with us. The
dinner was prepared by Mrs. Sa-
vilie, and a better one we never
bad set before us. Mr. R. J. Grimes
aou lady, also Mr. Rockwell, of
Pataula, were with us and enjoyed
the turkey very much, especially
Mr. R. as we left him at tbe table.
We guess be helped to wash the
dishes. Tbe ladies were talking
styles, fashions, new goods and so
os, while wt, tbe genu, built a rail*
road from Hawklntviile, via Pres-
ton and Lnmpkln, to Florence.
Americoa is on tbe right track,
now. That is tbe road we want.
you can get s competing line vf
road you will then come in ahead
of Columbua and Eufaula. Many
ol our trading farmers say they
will carry tbeir cotton hereafter to
Americus, because they get about
as much for their cdtton as in Eu-
faula or Columbus aed all say. they
gel good honest weights, and tak
ing everything into consideration,
weights and charges, they get more
for tbeir cotton in Americas than
anywhere else, aud can buy goods
just as cheap.
Build the road from Hawkias
vilie to Florence. It will' pay you
much better, than half a dozen little
branch roads. Then you will get
most of the cotton from Stewart.
She is one of the best cotton coun
ties in Georgia and makes half as
much cotton as Americus ever re
ceived. Columbus wants it and
will build us a road if you don’t,
so now is your time.
Cotton planting is now in order,
and as cotton is bringing tea cents
a pound, many will now plant mneb
more than they expected. It
always goes up when the farmers
have none to sell. Tbe little corn
and oats arc looking fine. We
hear of thousands of rails being
burned last Wednesday all over the
county. Many have not the tim
ber to rebuild tiieir lences. Now
we need the stock law.
We are glad to report Mr. Kim
brough about well.
Dr. Copeland was in tbo vilie to-
lay and reports everything in bis
section in order.

CARDING HIMSELF AS A PRES!
DENTIAL CANDIDATE.
' Gen. Grant ia havinz a good
time white be convalesces, ssys a
Washington special to the Pbila
delpbia Times. He talks politics
as glibly its be used to talk horse.
As everybtidy's friend he acts tbe
character admirably. Peraons who
have heard him talk have listened
in vain for some reference to re
ports bat be contemplates tbe pos
sib'lity of a turn of tbe wheel tbac
that will insure him once more tbe
Presidential prize. He seems pur
posely to avoid tbe subject. He
has not been to the White House,
but that is less the subject of re
mark than Arthur’s visit ol au
hour to him. Whatever is destin
ed to be, the present fact is that
where one man a week ago favored
Grant’s nomination dozens are out-
spoken to-day. "Grant and Lin
coln” has got into many mouths
that have been ailent. Grant
preaches up Logan everywhere, but
no name is ever coupled with Ills
for the second place Whenever
Lincoln’s tiame is spoken in that
7 iuarter it is as second to Grant,
t is to be ob-erved that Lozan
though a jealous mau, manifests no
displeasure at the frequency of
Grant's name or tbe rumor that
Grant has an eye on the main
chance. Logan is said to regard
bis ibird term In the Senate as as
sured hy bis Presidential canvass.
A veteran observer on the lookout
declares that Grsdt will be the resi
duary legatee ot both Arthur and
Logan, and talks knowiugly of the
mysteries ot uninstructed-iclegates
in Northern States and n nearly
solid Southern vote for Arthur.

coming in such quick succession,
dark the year 1884 as the year o r '
disasters. In the forest fires or
last Wednesday, east ot Pataula

about 15000 panels of fence, J. W.
Beauchamp 1000, A. Turner, Jas.
Owens, J. C. Jolley, J. C. McLen
don and others lost largely. E. J.
Harden lost his cribs with contents
ami two wagons. Mrs. Jane Thom
as had her house fired several times
by drifting particles of burning
wood, but managed to keep it pro
tected. These losses fall heavily
on tbe farmers thus late in the
spring. Mr. Henry Johnson bad
his dwelling fired by • falling lamp,
but was subdued with a loss of
some of the family clothing.
The meeting of the county Sun
day school association at George
town last Sunday wss a grand suc
cess in every particular. Lectures
were deli vared by Dr. W. N. Reeves
and Mr. Be son of Eufaula, which
were happily conceived, eloquently
delivered and well received by a
large, intelligent and appreciative
audience. Mach good will doubt
less grow out of the meeting in
awakening a lively interest in thisall
important matter. The citizens of
Georgetown were lavish in dispens
ing their hospitalities to the
large crowd of visitors; to look on
the magnificent spread on thrir
dinner tables does not corroborate
tbe common cry of bard times, as
the quantity and variety of viands
was simply splendid and superbly
gotten up. Everything passed off
harmoniously and all felt glad that
thev were there.
