DELIUHTFUL DAWSON
Dawson, Ua., Apiil J5th, 1834
In jour issue of last .week these
words .1 vourit: ‘‘The Uiumkdkr,
too, has a broader mission than to
build up Ainericus— it seeks In aid
in building up all Southwest Geor
gia, and, has ever been ready to
lend itsajd in that direction,’’ found
a responsive echo from all in this
section who have watched your
course; and it. has beeu said upon
our »tr,eet» by some ol our most
prominent citizens that your work
up to this Jiui • has beeu a good one
for Southwest Georgia.
We.jpjp watching the course of
cenco” ot an almost forgotton psst,
in that a steamboat was built at
that place by James U. Butts, of
Mahon, in 1848. So in the past we
must fi*re bad water navigation
almoat to the doors of Americas.
Build thst railroad and who knows
but what the Flint river may yet
be made directly tributary to the
commercial interests of Americas.
In the future Congressional appro
priations, slid tbu money of those
interested may put water naviga
tion almost to your doors.

With a new hotel, Artesian well

The May celebrations are com

Beulah churoh, In Randolph, on
the fourth Saturday in May bids
fair to be an occasion of great in

which place Judge Lcnnard will
also deliver an address. To each

We notice these local matters for
the reason that tbo Recorder is

desire to give notoriety to every
