DAWSON DOTH.
Dawson, May 13.—Through the
Recoboee alteniion is asked to the
feasibility of to constructing the
street intersecting the northern
portion of tbo city of Dawson, and
running cast and west, that It may
open up s more direct route to that
portion of the city, so that persona
who are living in til .* neighborhood
of tbo Roberts place may be saved
the inconvenience of going a mile
out of their way to reach the city,
and, besides, properly holders who
pay their proportion of the city
tozca are directly interested In this
matter, whicli has become an nr
gent one with them. No gieat an
amonnt of ex[ienses need be in
curred, as but little grading la to
be done. A bridge would have to
be constructed over middle Chicka-
sawhatehee creek, which would cost
but little te the city. We respect
fully bring this matter before the
oily fathers of Dawaon, as we have
been requested to do so.
Dawson has a roost pleasant re
sort now for those who in tbo snitry
summer months like a plate of ice
cream or a drink of iced lemonade.
0.1. Chambers has fitted up a cosy
little tent upon a side street near
Ills confectionery, whicli is throng
ed with lads, and lassies of this de-
lightiul city every afternoon. Ira
is one of our must sterling young
men and deserve), success.
Capt. -O 0. Robinson is one of
the moving men of this community.
Uislightning rods and nil appurten
ances conneeted therewith arc
manufactured hero. Ho has five
wagons out till I lie time, and bis
sales are immense. He is also in
the livery stable business, and is a
first best man In ids knowledge of
horses.
Randolph Court up to this tim*
lias been represented by two of our
most proml nenl lawyers,the able So
licitor-General, Col. J. H. Guerry,
and Col. L. C. Hoy I. Col. Hoyl is a
repicscntatire man in his profes
sion, ar.d for a term of years repre
sented tills Senatorial district in
tho Legislature. As a gentleman
he has the esteem of all who know
him.
The marshal of this city, D. G.
Trammell, is a good one. Offend
ers bide out and soek a refuge as
far from him as possible. In a ne
gro disturbance here a few days
ago, a violator of the law was ar-
ares led by him and fined by the
mayor $42 or fifty days on the
chain-gang. Tho negro arrested
was a had ono, but Trammell bad
tho nerve to bring him in. In con
neotion with this matter we state
bat few appeal cases come before
the council, bis honor, the mayor,
(and one of the best) being sus
Mined in almost of bis rulings,
Tbo New York Marine Bank,
which recently failed, had as a de
positor, Mr. J. W. Wooten, of this
place, in the amount of $4,300.
We are all sorry for the loss of Mr.
Wooten, but as he is a man of great
business nerve and Industry, we
know that be will soon recover
from bis loss.
Prominently spoken of here for
tho Legislature is Col. T. H. Pick-
ctt. Ho Is ono of our most solid
men, and stand* high in bis pro
fession as a lawyer. Almost every
one that your reporter meets wants
Tom Pickett to represent Terrell
in the next Legislature. Let him
say the word and he will go.
The centennial oelebratlon of the
Methodist Sunday acliool here on
last Sunday waa a decided success.
The recitation of one of the scholars,
Miss Helen Parks, was admirably
done. The speeches of Cols. Hen
derson and Wimberly gave satis
faction, but tho crowning beanty
of the whole was in the collection
for dsstitnte places without Sun.
day schools, wbieh was a large one.
Jo Scott, of your city, “took in”
thin place hut Tuesday. Brimfull
ot business, he was on the “ran”
all the time. The Bank of Ameri
cas has no one more faithful than
lie conneeted with it.
Wo tell the friend* ot tho Recob.
deb, and they are legion in this
section, to make themselves at
home in the Recobdeb ofllco when
they visit Amorlous, “ono of tho
gems of Southwest Goorgia.” Wc
wish them to see the admirable ar
rangements conneo.ed wi'b the pa
per that so msny retd and appre
ciate here and elsewhere.
The many friends of Hon. J. O.
Parks will be delighted to know
that this gentleman is now often
seen upon our streets, though he is
still on bis crutches. Hi* long ab
sence from tbo active pursuit* of
life has been sorely felt by msny
of us.
The many friends of Mr. and
Mrs. Merrell Callaway here extend
to each of them their warmest sym
pathies in the loss of theirdanghter,
dear little Bell, bnt we are consoled
by the tuonght that she is well fit
ted for an angel in heaven.

qi'ITMAX COUNTY
Hatcbeb Station, May 18—A
press of busines both puhlie and
privato prevented my usual letter
last week, which I regretted, though
unavoidable.
The refreshing showers of rain
lost week have given new life and
vigor to all vegetation, tbo oat crop
and gardens are rudeoming their
former growth, tbo former, howev
er, cannot mako more than half a
crop. W. M. Dozier, W. J. Jor
dan and W. Moore have some fine
oats, yet far below tbeir cxpecla
tion when planting and fertilizing
so heavily. Tho corn erops which
have bad an unhealthy color from
unfavorablo weather, aro rapidly
assuming a healthful green and now
promises well. The cotton crop in
also looking unusually well under
tho very favorable weather which
has prevailed for tho past two or
turce weeks and chopping is far
advanced. The bulk of the crop will
be ehopped this week. With day la
bor in abundance, fine weather, tbs
workingfarmor* will soon have tbeir
crops beyond the injuries usual
from grass and weeds; all things
considered, the present outlook for
farmers it encouraging.
The fine 'weather has dried off
tho creeks, swamps aud made fish
ing a pleasant sport for the “always
got-time-cnough” fishermen; the
banks of tbeorceks are well shaded
and furnish just enough mosquitoes
to keep one from going to sleep
and losing a nibble. Somo of the
Osbermen make tho sport profita
ble. Mr. Joe Oliver, near Cotton
Hill, with bis sons in one night,
with set books, caught about forty
pounds of channel cat, some of
which wero very large and fine.
These using trot lines are hairing
fine success in Patauis.
Miss Willie Dozier is off on a
pleasure trip through Middle and
Eastern Georgia, visiting relatives
and fnonds, and will take in the
beautiful sea-board city of Savan-
nab.
Prof. E. A. Reese's school at
Georgetown is rapidly growing.
Prof. It. is the right man in the
school room. Miss Emms .Ionian
will close the first term of bor
school on the 22nd inst. with an ex
hibition at night, to which ail are
invited. I have not seen the pro
gramme, but am assured thst some
thing rich is in store lor those who
attend at Morris Station on that
night
Owing to the busy season among
farmers, news is very scarce.

made a flying visit to Dawson to
day. We mw but little or nothing
doing with the merchant*. Whit
tling, marbles and otieckers receive
all the sparo time. W. A. Janes
had Just returned from the great
sale at Sheffield, Ala., and was the
center of attraction, and I know
was asked the same questions at
least a thousand times before nine
o’clock this moining.
We found the crops on the road
■mall, but in good order. Every
body through planting and have
started to ohopplng. The corn all
•mail, wo think for the middle of
May. Tbo oat prospect is very
good; the rain on Thurday last im
proved them considerably, and
with one more good rain the last
of this or the first of next week
they will be Mfe and will be more
than an averago crop. A few have
put in a few potato slips and all
bands wilt bo ready when it rains

Asa contrast in the line of Presi
dents Arthur is perfect, ne Is the
first and probably the last of bis
kind. You can turn from Jeffer-
■on in bis long, worsted stockings
and gray homespun anil,receiving
Mr. Merry, the British Minister, to
Arthur in tho latest personification
of tbs fashion plate, and muM on
the super-or evolution in Presi
dents. “When I boo magnificent
dandles yawning out of White's”
■ays Thackeray, “or caraeoeing in
in the park on ahining chargers, I
like to think that Brummeii was
the greatest of them all, and that
llrummell’s father was* footman.”
So when you read of tbo dandified
splendor, tho extra bath tubs,
dressing rooms and the superflui
ties of the Arthurian episode you,
too, like to think that tbo finical
being requiring so much elegance
was never the choice ot the country
never could be; that the people
with good-natured forbearinee
wait for hie exit from a scene
where ho has been chiefly conipie
uous by his sumptuous dresti g
and where, too, like the revival
of an old sequence in former stage
management; after a tragedy earn*
the farce—or the Arthurian admin
istration.

Why Farmers Hhenl4 Favor Tariff
Reform.
Xinmuh Hews.
Representative White, of Minne
sota, ono of the Republicans who
voted for the Morrison bill, baa
published in the CongreMtonal
Record his reasons for supporting
the bill against the withes of his
party associates. The reason* are
calculated to oonvinoe the farmem
of the Northwest that Mr. White
represented their interest*. Mr.
White ssy* that he wante the reve
nues of the government rednoed,
and that he It not one oftbotewhe
say that a reduction of tho tariff
will increase the revenues, and la
tbo next breath aeaert that the re
duction made in 1883 has already
red teed the revenue*, and will re
duce them further after a Rule
time. He wants it understood that
he is not quite so inconsistent as
that, although some of the protec
tionists made ti
Mr. Gough on Kilk flats.
"It would be no violation of tbs com-
msodasnt,” said John B. Googb, “ifs
sun were to tell down tod worship tbs
silk hst, for it is not mad* in tbs likeness
of any thing in heaven, or on earth, or u
tha waters which arc under tha earth."
Resides it hesls the head and causes tho
hair to fall off. Porker’s Hair Balaam will

gray or faded hair. Not oily, not a dye,

feet hair drtsaiag. 30c. Alt di
that sort ot an argu
ment daring the tariff debate. Mr.
White want* the surplu out cT,
bccau*o if the money goe* into the
Treasury it must be paid out. If
tho surplus wero allowed to accu
mulate It would not ba long betas
there would be a scarcity or mousy,
and the busines of toe country
would bo embenassed. The sur
plus would have to go to the pay
ment of the bonds because in ow
other wsy could It be used. Mr.'
White doesn’t want the bond* paid
because their payment would break
up the national banking system,
which is admitted by both parties
to be the best the country I a* ever
bad. Ho doesn’t agree with the
protectionist* that the protective
system is the greatest possible Mes
sing to the farmers. In foot, be does
not regard it as a blessing to them.
The manufacturing interests do not
make a notne market for tbo pro- ,
ducts of the farmers. Tho prices '
ol wheat, corn, pork, beef, etc., fa
this oountry aro regulated by the •
Liverpool market. The only dif
ference in the prices in title coun
try and Liverpool is made by
freight,' storage, Insurance) and
handling charges. It it the sheerest
nonsense to say that protection
bonoOts the farming otaes to the
extent of a cent. But while the
farmers are furnishing the mono-
fauiurers their bread-stuffs much
cheaper than she English manu
facturers can obtain them, they
are lorced to pay for manhiaetuVed
goods from 40 to 60 per cent more
than the English former* have to
pay and more than they would have
to pay if there wero no protective
tariff. Mr. White says the formers
ol tho Northwest found no fault as
long at the money was needed by
tho government, but that now when
the money is not needed he waste
it left with tbo people. How mneb
it ie needed in his section is stiowa
by tbo fact that since the farms
were opened in Minnesota they
have on an average, obanged hands
twice. High rates of interest paid
to Eastern capitalist* and high
j rices paid for the nccctsarie* of
ire on aocount of tbe protective
system have' made bankropte of
two sets of farmers and promises
vo bankrupt the third set
Mr. White’s reasons ought to be
plaoed in tbe bande ol every facta-
er In the country He ebows np
the ielqnltiee of the protective sys
tem ao far ee it applies to the farm
er*, and makes It dear that they
are being robbed for the benefit Of
the protected monopolies.

I don't Just remember What kind

could recover breath, “bnt where
