Dawson, April 14.—The Appeal baa aided to ite editorial staff Prof. W. K. PiUpury, former solicitor of tha Re- cordf.b and sinee solicitor for the Enfant* Times and News. This is a fortunate arrangement for the Appeal and not a bad one for the Professor, as he greatly preferred busineee in Dawson to any other piece, to be with bis mother in her old ego and ill health. The Professor made a Sne soldier daring the war, an able teacher and an excellent solicitor since, and will make an editor that onr city will be proud of. In fact, as a horse trador would aay, "he work* well any where.” He is a dutiful and affectionate sou and brother, and I actually believe be would make some nice lady a good husband, provided she can catch him. Mrs Emorett Moore, of Atlanta, and her sister, Miss Sue Chamberlin, of Dahlonega, alter passing four weeks with rsistives and frienda in onr city and Lumpkin, returned to their homes yes terday, much to the regret of—yours truly, Capb R. F. Simmons is having hit shade trees pruned and his houses and fences painted to an alarming extent. What can it mean ? Probably Mr. Rainey can toll. He ia looking pretty blue about something and needa consolation. I be lieve his rabbit foot it a hnmbug.

She passed her girlhood days in our city as Miss Mollis Lsssstsr, sod her early married life aa Mrs. Tom Brantley, and had many frienda among onr old and best oitizens. Ws deeply sympathize with her hnsband and children, and her brother and three sisters in our city. Dr. B. G, Jones hat pnrobased the ele gant residence of Me W. R.

Mrs. W. G. Parks bat returned from Col ambus. Rev. and Mrs. B. W. Davis returned to-day from Bmithville. Tha revival ia still going on at tha Methodist ehnreb, and many are being converted. J. A. F. ARTESIAN ALBANY. JOH.NPRfc'EVlLLE. JouNpnEEriLLE, April 13.—Several olaima have been banded in for the money found in aaek of guano but none of them won't pay for notioe or willing to divide and wa refuse to give it np. Next. Cotton planting ianow in full bleat and of conrae a big crop will be planted. The early corn ie large enough to plow, we will begin to-morrow as we are dona planting eotton and nothing elae to do. Guano hanling is shout over end every body husy st woik sod the oountiy Is quite dull, sud the do-nothing crowd are quite lonesome. There ia lest idle negroes in the oonntry this year than we ever saw. They hare found out that It pays them much better to work six end twelve months than to work about by the day. They ere doing better this year than ever before, and we hope they may continue to improve. We have been persuaded; by our friends to have nothing to do with the weather and not make our monthly re port as lo the seasons, seeing there is enough fools at that business now, think you; frienda we believe you and will take your advice. Presetting at tha Methodist ehnreh next Sunday, let everybody come and give Bro. Lanier s full bouse, the hat will not be pasted around at this meeting. Rev. W. M.

The woman that did tbs shooting was terribly beaten by her hue- band when she met him at home, and ia now confined to her bed. Our Superior Court ie progressing fine ly. Quite a number of the legal Intern! ty are in attendance. Onr firemauio boys are practicing daily for yoor tournament, 0. J. Skilled labor in not alwuya poor ly paid, if the tale told by tt Pitta- burg reporter oan be relied on. He taye there are many rollers who make from $15 to $20 per day without any trouble, and that a roller with a small guide mill train can earn from $8 to $10 a day. There ar« rollers in Pittsburg now earning from $36 to $50 a day. There is a steel-roller in a South Side steel works taken from' his work about 2 o’clock in the after noon in bis barouche, driven by bit colored servant. The last men tioned gentleman is a practical illustration of the dignity of labor. It must be remembered, however, that theie are hundreds of indus trious iron-workers in Pittsburg who can scarcely earn enough to enable them to keep soul and body together. The County Chain Gang.
