sido of New York and King coun
ty, show thus far 1,493 eleotion
districts already reported from
that section of the State. The aver
age Republican plurality baa been
as nearly as possible 86 in each. If

they will yield 19,764 plural! iy for
Blaine. This added to the 49,938
plurality shown by those already

CURSES THAT DO NOT BOOST.
Dawson, Oct. 30.—Mr. T. L.
McGehee, of our county, after
selling out everything, left last
Monday for San Antonio, Texas,
where be will make his future home.
I dislike to see our good oltliene
leave Georgia for other States, end
think they could sueeeed as well
here as anywhere. However, men
are benefitted by ohange, and 1
hope our friend will never have
cause to regret the step he bee
taken.
We have bail a little cool spell
in Dawson, but there was not
moisture enough to make a re
spectable frost, so we will have to
wait till it rains. Oar ponds have
gone dry and the wells and creeks
are rapidly failing. Oowa and hens
are also drying up, and butter and
eggs can almost be numbered with
tbe things that are past. But the
five hundred fleo dogs continue to
perambulate our streets from the
rising to the setting of the sun, and
then sit upon tbeir baunebes and
“bay the moon from dewy eve to
early morn.” They often get the
largest dogs to barktog, then the
chiokens to crowing, tbe bogs to
sqaeeling and the cows to lowing.
It’s enough to make a man who
has nerves use euss words, provid
ed he bod been raised an orphan.
1 want a dog law enacted and exe
cuted In oar city. Let every dog
be taxed one dollar, and it will
pay the whole expensea of our city
government. Dogs are a nuisance
and especially flee dogs. Let’s
abolish them.
Col. C. B. Wooten, of Calhoun
county, is on a visit to our city.
His son, Johnnie Wooten, will re

Wm. Wooten. Johnnie is au ole

to have him with us.
Dawson, Ga., Oct. 31.—There
were about one thousand bales of
cotton shipped from our city with
in tbe last two days, and yet onr
warehouses seem-almost full and
still it comes.
Mr. W. A. Pringle,, one of our
cotton buyers, has moved bis head
quarters lo Americus, taking Mrs.
Pringle with him, whioh tbeir
friends here regret.
Mr. Smith Davenport, of Web
ster county, is ou a visit to our
city. Judge B. F. Bray, of Leary,
was on our streets yesterday.
Cbarlio Brinson, a young color
ed man from this place, diod in
Atlanta yesterday and will bo
brought down today, and as he
has many friends in this scetion,
there is at least a hundred colored
people at the depot to meet his
remains. Charlie is a son of Abram
Brinson, and was attending Clark’s
University in Atlanta.
Mr. G. W. Chevcs, who killed
Capt. T. It. Pickett, was removed
from our jail Unlay and carried to

eibility from our eiliseas.
