Dawson, April 14.—Frank, the infant
son of Col. J. L. Janes, died, yesterday,
and was interred in the city cemeteiy
Malay. The Col. nnd Mrs. Janes have
our sincere sympathy in Ibis, their second
bereavement.

Mr. W. C. Dodwell, one of Calhoun

moved with his family, to onr oity. We
are glad to receive auoh people ameng

vacated by Dr. B. G. Jones.
The Journal and Appeal have decided
to torn over the Dawson poit office to
Dr. Jones merely because congressman
Turner has recommended him. Wait
awhile, frienda. I have no objection to
Dr. Jones; but remember that a congress-
left yesterday afternoon for the Exposi

Mr. Rainey, of the Jonrnal, has made a
failure with bis rabbit foot, and is now
bolstering his disappointment with a
corkscrew*. I think this little implement
is doing him good. He had not been in
possession of it more than twenty-four
hours when he got off the following;
“One cannot look nronnd now without
feeling the vigor of nature, which ie
doing its work in a hurry. Green grase is
spreading its picnio earpet over all
tbe bleak barrens, bops radiates in
every sunbeam, tbe tinselled forest is
moved gracefully by a balmy breeze and
fragranco floats upon the wings of tbo
carolling birds.” Nothing bat a cork
screw could have inspired him with eueh
thoughts. After the above be became so
bappy that he aesnmed a dnunatio atti
tude and exclaimed; “Babbit feet to the
rear! It ia no longer the proper caper to
wear a rabbit fool,” etc.

Dawson, April 31.—Last Sunday
morning Jndge J. M. Simmons heard
some one ealling at bis gate, as though
in distress or In a hnrrv. He hastened
oat and found a young man and young
lady sitting in a baggy. As tbe Judge
approached, tbe young man shoved hie
right hand down into bis pocket, cansing
the Judge to halt and take a step or two
backward, thinking a pistol might be
shoved idto bis face tbe next moment.
But instead of a weapon, the young man
drew ont and presented a crumpled mar
riage license and asked the Jndge to marry
hem right then and there. They were
cordially invited into the house, but tbe
young man said. “No, we don't want to
waste the time in taking ont and hitching
up onr hone, but want to be married
right here and right now.” So tbe Judge
performed the marriage ceremony, a.
they sat in tbe buggy, and sent them on
their way rrjoleing. The partis* were
Mr. J. B. McNeal and Min Lizzie Hay,
both of this county. Well that’s what
we’ve aU got to come to sooner or later,
and I guess they thought “the sooner,
the bolter.” As Bill Arp ssyr, “It’s all
right, 1 rcokop,” May they live long and

A. J. Baldwin, President; J. D. Ltlng,

EvansYiLLtg Ind., April 30.-1 was at
Andersonville during the snmmer of 1868,
and I have been judging tha whole Sot*
of Georgia for twenty lonn yesrs by that
little patob on the head waters of littl*
Sweet Water oreek, in the edge of Sum
ter oonnty, bnt, tbrongh the kindness of
Dootor W. B. Harrison, of Andersonville,
I was induced to subeorib* for the Attaat-
ccs Bioosobb Jsn. 1st, 1885. I find to
my great surprise, by reading the letters
from Sonthweet Georgia, that they am •
live, wide-awake, energetio and irrteUi- *
gent people, judging from their oontriba-
tions to tbe Recorder. I have worked
hard all day and sat np until mldnightlo
read the Americus Recorder and th*
Atlanta Constitntion. Friends, this is no
flattery, but the honest truth, as I have
been led to see it lately.
I called at tbe offieo of tbe Louisville
A Nashville Railroad hore the other day
to inquire about a tieket to America!, and
the elerk very kindly gave me a railroad
map of the South. I was astonished at
the perfect system of railroads connect
ing every little town in th* State.
I had supposed that Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois had all tbe Railroads in the Uni
ted States. We ought to be a little better
acquainted by the exohange of newspa
pers and letters. I have been greatly de
lighted this spring by reading in the
Recorder of yonr gardening, oorn plant
ing, visiting and social gatherings. My
wife during the war was a littl* Missouri
rebel. I thought it would be a good idea
to mix a little rebel spunk with the Fed
eral blue, and I find that it works to n
charm, for a truer wife no man ever found.
1 was born in the green beeoh wood* of
Deeatnr county, Indiana, nearly 60 yean

old father and mother taught me to say
was: “1 sm a Jackvon mtn an to tha
