NO. 47 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. W. K. I*. POWDER Absolutely {Pure.

With a new hotel, Artesian well another railroad, first class schools, an intelligent and refined commu nity and .with n health rate the equal of any, Dawson will take on n new lease of life, and will endeav or to be a power in Southwest Georgia. The May celebrations are com ing in order—a centennial cele bration of the Sunday schools at Beulah churoh, In Randolph, on the fourth Saturday in May bids fair to be an occasion of great in terest The gifted Hon. L. M. Lcnnard, of this pisoe, will deliver the address. On the second Sat urday in May, Sunday school cele bration will lake place at Enter prise church, in this county, at which place Judge Lcnnard will also deliver an address. To each of these places your correspondent bis a special invitation. We notice these local matters for the reason that tbo Recorder is read all over tins county, and wc desire to give notoriety to every local matter that will interest tho good people of this immediate sec tion. The Recorder bas grown and is growing still more, day by day, as an exponent of the feelings and wishes of these people. Messrs. Albritton and Brady, ol your city, and “mine host," the popular Diedriob, of Smithville, were iu this place a few days ago. Wearc ever glad to grasp the bands of our fellow citizens of Auierious and SmilbviUo when they visit us. Come againl Fishing is in order now, and a number of parties here are making arrangements to take in trips to the beautiful water courses that are around us. Would like to have the Senior and Junior on one of these fishing excursions. We will number a place for you liolh ifyou will come. The Indian name of some of our water courses arc so cuphonioijs thst thoy leave a picas!«g impress upon the ear. “Pataula” In tlio Indian dialect means “pigeon roost,!’ and “Chiokusawbatchce” means “a hiding-place lor deer."

About qhall crop will bo made. Farmers are busy planting cotton to ship on our rail road. A larger area will bo plant ed in com and notion this year than last. This is undoubtedly the healthi est place in Southwest Georgia. If a graveyard^ would have to be started here, it would be necessary to kilt some one to do it. In fact, people never die here—butonoe. Our school is in n prosperous condition under the tender caro of Prof. B. H. Wilkinson. Miss Nina Williams is also teaching a large class in music. Our people have about eome to the oouoluslou that these long loans at 8 per cent are not exactly at 8, but about 18, and are rather slow borrowing amounts at that per cent. President Lowe and Hon. E. W. Miller visited President Raoul lsst week to perfect arrangements on tbs Boons Vista railroad and report everything satisfactory. Messrs. Bowman and Myrick will com mence clearing and grubbing this week and dirt will lie broke noxt Wednesday—a week from to-mor row. They expect to have the road finished to this place by the first of July. Dr. Parks, who was appointed to get deeds to right of way, reports that only two men re- lused to give right of way, and he has not given these over to “hard ness of heart" yet. The next cot ton crop wilt be shipped over this road, and already a company baa been formed to build a Urge ware house at this plsee. Town lots arc at fancy prices and not many on the market at any price. The road U now an assured fact. Come up to our barbecue on the 4th of July, “and wo will do tlioo good.” * JOLLY JOHKPRKEVILLF. Jl UNPREEVILLE, April 141b—'We were very sorry indeed to learn while in your city that many had given the railroad up as a failure, while others toUl us it would cer tainly he built. We had some hopes until we heard they were try ing to get the Central to build it. It they have anything to do with it, it will never be ot any benefit to Amcricus. We beard some of the best men of A merlons were very silent on the matter since a lew days ago. Look out now, gentle men, that Columbus don't build us QLITMtN COUNTY. .

Cotton planting Is nbont over. Good stands of corn except when damaged by birds and the heavy rain. The ont crop improves vary slowlv, and tha prospect for an average crop is gloomy. Tbs Irish potato crop is unassally good; gar- dena arc very good. Mr. A. D. Lanier has a remarkable patch of spring turnips, many of the tubers weighing a pound each. Prof. Albert Hill, of the Grange Hall academy, is threatened with pneumonia. Mr. George Moore is about over his tight spell of typhoid pneumonia. Dr. W. T. Carter has formed a co partnership with Dr. Dozier for the practice of medicine in this community which is well pleasing to the neighboorhood. Dr. S. A. Crumbley has located In George town and will run a drug store in connection with his practice. Dr. Mason Raines, nopbew of yonr townsman, Dr. C. B. Raines, will fill the place vacated by the removal of the latter to Amsricus. A mania for Sunday schools seems to have seized the people oi our county, it is more talked ot than the new rail road projocU. Let the good work spread far and wide. The wiseacres are beg nning to speculate on the 8. natorship ol this district. Webster, Quitman and Stewart compose the district. The old veteran ex-senator anil president of tbc Senate, Col. T. Ii.

The telegraph' wires near Indian Spring were broken-up bv the storm and it has beeu imp -asilile in consequence to obtain accurate details. At Eaton- ton the storm appears to have been much more destructive than at any other point in its route. Great damage was done to all the classes ofbuildlngH in tbe northern part of tbc town, but fortunately only two, L. Jenkins and J. Adams, ne gross, were killed. Tbe residences and outhouses belonging to tbe following gentlemen were consid erably damaged by wind and rain: J. M. Johnson, W. F. Jenkins. J. O. Adams, J. B. Reese, and Judge T. G. Lawson.
