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 bis band. W. K. P. JOLLY JOHM’REEVILLE. 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.

' 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. quTMANi’oum.

In the forest fires or last Wednesday, east ot Pataula creek. Judge J. H. Callaway lost 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. The beautiful rain of last Satnr- The Georgia Republicans. Atlanta, April 8—Tbe W ite Republican Convention met at 12 in. in the Senate chamber. Jon athan Norcross was chosen chair man. There was an attendance of fifty delegates. Tbo gallery was tilted principally with negroes. Upon permanent organization Wm. Msrkhsm wasmadeOhaitman, W. L. Clark 8eeretarv and one "Vice President appointed from eaeh Congressional district.

A prominent Republican of this (tlie Third) Congressional District says that Col. Jack Bruwn hardly amounts to a ci pher when it come- to controlling tbe poli< ical affairs of the District, and that bis interview with a Constitution re|Hirter was purely and wholly a Jack Brown story. The Colonel was mighty ‘•small potatoes” in the Amcricu convention, and it is said that his name was not even suggested as a delegate tol be National convention. J. Norcross. Esq., can probably console the Colonel.—Hawkineville News. In the Seed Business. TIL0E.VS GYMNASTICS. RUUNI-BNCtt or TB* JOHN QUINCT ADAMS ANDCRAWFORD CAMPAIGN. There Is some quiet laughter, •ays the Washington correspondent of tbe Augusta Chronicle and Con* ■lituiionaliet, as the last Tilden In terview, which is credited to Me. Frank Richardson, of the Balti more Sun. Mr. Tilden's arm and leg exerciae is almost ludicrous. 8»me of tbe boys say that John Bigelow put up a Job on tbe inter- • iewer by bavin electric attach meats to bis patron’s limbs; but • turse this is a joke. To shew you how history repeats itself, look si Psrton’s “Life of Andrew Jack son” and read bow Wm. U.

He bed to stamp bis name to pages and put bis finger on ik He was driven up and down Pennsylvania Avenue on exhibition. He was nominated sure enouzb, but defeated by John Quincy Adams. When tbe Oral flush of disappointment was over, he bore bis ill fortune nobly and philosophically. It is true he !.nd not been cheated out of the Presi dcncy before, nnd tbe analogy does not bold good all tbe way through; hut there are some striking resem blances between him and Mr. Til: den for tbe details of which I must refer tlie reader to tbo historic* of the time. There seems to be a growing ten dency, says the 8avannnh News,to ward tbe employment of women in many po-dti-uis heretofore filled almost txcluxively by men.

It seems IbatUardemanand Blount are to be rival candidates lor Cun- cress from the Sixth at the nexi elect'on, and in consequence they are flooding the counties of the Sixth with every variety of seed. The tarifl question, ssys the Au gusta Chronicle waa not discussed in the open manufacturers conven tion. and was only once alluded to during tbe session. Some of the members were anxious, however, to have tbe question of the tarifl and its relation to cotton goods fieely ventilated, and they went there no doubt filled to the brim, expecting sueb a discussion. Thev put themselves, never, heleas, on record in favor of the Ohio protec tive tariff platform.
