Dawson, Ua., Oct. 7.—At a
incctin'.' of tbe city council last
night the subject of the artesian
well was discussed at somo length
and with some warmth. Mr. Jack
son made a statement, in which be
said ho might or might not obtain
water where lie was now woiking,
but thought it would be as welt or
better to “rub out and begin again”
in another place; whereupon the
council decided tlmt the whole
thing was an egregious failure, and
abandoned tbe project, at least for
tlio present, “and it mnv be for
year*, and it may be forever.” Mr.
Juukson and bis statT were dis
charged, tbe engine ordered to be
restored to its proper owner; and
whether the derrick, etc., shall be
removed and ail signs of the cnor
mous mistake be erased and lor
ever obliterated from tbe face of
the earth, or whether it shall stand
as a monument to the greatness of
our present Mayor and city coun
cil, will lie determined at tbe next
meeting, a month hence. In the
meantime tbe clerk is ordered to
assess a tax of one per cent, on all
property inside tbe city limit, and
proccc1 nt once to collect the same
and place it in the bands of tbe
Treasurer, who will proceed to pay
the expenses of this huge project,

TIIE AURICULITRAL SOCIETY
At the meeting of the State Ag
ricultural Society committee in
Atlanta last Tuesday, they decided
to take tlie State display at Now
Orleans io their bands'. The At;
lanta correspondent of the Macon
Telegraph baa the following about
it:
Tbe committee then proceeded
to the discussion of the proposi
tion that the State Agricultural
Society should make tbe Stale ex
hibit at the New Orleans Exposi
tion. Tbe matter was discussed
long and earnestly. Major Bacon,
tbe United States commissioner
for Georgia, appeared before tbn
committee and made a foil state
ment of bis work, the obstacles be
had met with and appealed to the
society to come to tbo rescue. He
was followed by Col. Davidson, or
Augusta, commissioner for tbe
Tenth diatrict, who made a most
eloquent address on tbe same sub
ject. Governor MoDaniel, who
was present, also addressed tbe
com mittee, urging it to tbe same
aetion. The committee then enter
ed into a vigorous discutsion of
i-be matter, speeches being mide
by the president and secretary, bv
Capt. B. J. Powell, of Barnesville;
Dr. Jones, of Burke; Col. Mobley,
Mr. Peter W. Martin, of Newnan;
and others. M»j. Couper, com
missioner tromibu First and Judue
Henderson, commissioner of agri
culture, addressed Iho commit
tee. For some time it louked
doubtful if the executive com
miltcc would take any steps in
the matter at all, us the idea seemed
general that an assumption of the
responsibility of making the state
exbihit would involve the society
in debt nnd force it to draw too
largely on its own treasury. Final
ly, after the session had lasted till
nearly 3 o'clock, the matter was
disposed of by the following reso
lution, oticred by Captain Powell,
ol Barnesville:
Jlcuoloeit, Tlmt tbe State Agri
cultural Society, with tbe co-oper
ation of Major Bacon, United
States commissioner, make a state
exhibit at tbe New Orleans Expo
siti n, provided it can be done
without expense to the society .save
where tbe fund expended is derived
from private subscriptions made
specially for that purpose.
That a committee be appointed
to canvass the state for privatu
subscriptions.
Further, That if tbe society ob
tain from the next legislature tbe
|2 500 heretofore appropriated for
the state fair, so much of it shall
be devoted to the New Orleans ex
hibit as may lie needed to make the
amount raised by private subscrip
tions equal to the amount required.
EPITHELIOMA OR SKIN CAflCtS.
This form of cancer is the most
prevalent type, and is in many
cases fatal, as it gradually eat*
away until it destroys life, ft
would seem that Swift's Specific la
indeed a specific for this scourge.
Mrs. K. A. Armstrong, Veron^
Miss., writes under date of May
16,1884: “After taking six bottle*
of 8 wilt’s Specific the cancer Is
healing; is greatly reduced in size.
It now gives me no pain, and ay
general health baa so much im
proved that I am able to get tty
and attend to my household duties
—something I bsd not been able
to uo in several years. I (eet that
it will euro me.”
Mr. M. N. Clayton, of Red Clay,
Ga., writes under recent
“All painful sensations in my car
eer are decreasing. I feel decided
ly better, and tbe oaneer has com
menced to besl.”
Dr. M. F. Crumley, Ogiethotyq,
Ga., writes under date of May
10th: “Mr. Naves, who bsd such
a terribio cancer on Ids face, ia
about welt. New skin has grown
all over bis fsce, sod looks almost
as well as it ever did, sad I would
like some ol your company to sen
bim."
Messrs. J. & J. B. Harter, «t
North Manchester, Ind., writq,
under date of May 1st: “The lady
with cancer is improving right
along. Tbe Specific increased the
discharge lor the first low days,
but tbe soreness is gone and the
is much better.”
Mrs. W. H. Route, of Gordons-
ville, Vo., writes, under dale Of
May 11, 1884: "I am much im
proved. The cancer is better; does
not pain me at ail. It is a wonder
to all my friends.”
Mr. James E. Llgon,of Mlchaus:
Ferry, Va., writes under date of
May 19. 1884: “My condition is
greatly improved; my genena
health is good; my appetite good;
cancer decidedly bettor, and has
begun to heal nicely. Uow can!
ever repay you?”
Mr. J. S. Rhodes, of Mill Rivet,
N. C.. writes under date of May
19,1884; “My mother has been
using Swift’s Specific about two
weeks, and is improving. Tha
cancer is not now painful and is
healing.”
Mr. T. J. Teate, Waoiasa, Fla,
It was further resolved to ask I Rr '* CH under dntc of .May 2, 1886:
the officers of the agricultural so-I'‘Swift’s Specific has cured acan-
cieties of each county to take sub- {ccr on my lace, nnd has almost
scriplions for the New Orlenns
exhibit.
The resolution was based upon
tbe estimate that in addition to all
the oilier resources now at the
cuimmuid ot Commissioner Bacon,
ami nficr the exhibit ehoujdte , jas iln p rovod wo „dcrfully. I shall
made a young man out ol mo.”
Mr. E. Tinsley, of Burr Mill*,
Vn, writes May I, 1884: “My
wife lias tnken lour bottles of
Swilt’s Specific for a cancer, and
poll tax affidavit proved a measly
failure. Tbe people have said
what rotation is, so 1 hope there
will be no misunderstanding in the
future. Willi a railroad and a
Senator we ought to be happy.
“Truth crushed to earth will rise
again,” and justice and right will
“follow suit,” “just as hot ora
