! : A DIRECTOR TALKS,
And Tells the News cbout the Columbus
Scutherne-Moving Along Smoothly.
Major B. 1. Ilood, Dawson’s
| member of the board of directors
" of the Columbus Southern railroad,
, attended a meeting of the board in
| Columbus last Thursday.
i Vigjor Hood returned home
- much enthused and in hizh spirits,
| Before the reporter had time to
‘ ply hLis gimlet the Major said: 1
[ “We had a good meeting, there
| being present Mi. John Stopln‘ns!
| ot Cusseta, Col. Nelson Tift of Al I
bavy, myself and the Columbus !
representatives on the board. Con
siderable business wss before u.fl,!
which was dizposed of quickly z\ml;
to the advantaze of the road. I
am prepared to gay that the (‘:;\l
Jumbus Southern will new he iin-!
Jished withoat much delay. Vir, [
Lowehas alreudy lett for New York
and the rails will be sent on at
once and the work of laying the
track will begin at both ends of
the line. The road is now graded
pear to Rickland and the work|
between that point and Dawsen }
will be light. It could be easily
finished before the time designated
in the contract wich English & Co.
The conviets that have been work
ing on the Beuna Vista extension
have already been, or will be, re.!
moved to the Columbus Southern,
and it will not take them long to}
finish the work. It is bound to
come and Dawson need no longex";
doubt its completion.” i
“How do the Columbus people !
feel about it, Major?” '
“Not since the road was first |
projected have the people ot ('u‘i
lumbus been so much enthused. |
They say the road is a necessity
and they ntend to have it.” |
“Why is it the stockholders have -
not been called upon to make |
payment on their subseriptions?”
“Beeanse it was thoucht best
not to collec* a cent of money un- |
til every doubt was dispelled about l
the final suceess of the road. You |
way now soon expect acall to be |
made for a payment—ijust as oon t
as the ficst shipment of rails is re. |
ceived.” |
That Speiling Sce
Oan last Friday evening was not
a suceess within itself, The Jadies
gerved ice eream and lemonade, and
financially and socially it was
a big success. About $3O were
realized.
Atter a great delay and much
trouble, only a few would consent
to spell. When it did begin Profs.
Lowrey and Parker commanded
Opp()sin;_" torces, and words were
given out from \Vebster’s primary
dictionary.
Among the first to go down was
the lord Mayor. David failed to
come up to the ‘‘average” and ao
cordingly broke ranks. B nia/’
was anather word that played havoe
with the spellers, and several tair
ladies abandoned the idea ot spell
ing it and commenced taking their
seats before the word got to them. ‘
The News had a moath-piece on
the floor, but Misses Parks, Jones
and McNulty did the spelling for
it, for which we return thanks,
Owing to the contusion in the
hall, it was decided not to attempt
to spell all down, so about ten
o’clock the programme closed
amid great applause.

Why Dawson Koosters Crow Early. |
It has been noticed by many |
that the cocks of this city hegin i
crowing some time before midnight. |
This has been censtrued to be ai
fowl warning to the young boys |
ofthis ¢ity vho never crawl in|
through their windows befure the |
cocks hegin to crow. The Nli\\'fl!
is able to give the troe canse, Somel
onein the vicinity of Pulton and '
Main streets has the power of |
ventriloquism very fully develops |
ed and this gentleman ~eonceived
the idea of starting the hoys off
home early. Everiy night ¢t about
ten o’clock this old and sedatc cit- |
izen struts out into the street,
flaps his wings aud crows a cro=
that says he can whip any dougone |
rooster in the state of Genr;:iu.!
The rooster of his nearest neiz- |
bor sings out that he's another, |
and every rooster in town is put |
to erowing, |
Thus it will be seen that it is |
not the intercst the rooster take |
in the boys thut causes them tni
crow 8o early, but is s.im~|
piy the outcome of their gul ;
licility. |

i MURDER IN WEZEBSTER,
i A Negro Shot While Trying to Separate
I Two Fighting Women.
' On Mr. Cole’s plantation, in
| Webster county, Joe Phillips shot
another negro with a pistol
l on Friday, the ball taking effect in
the breast.
~ The latest news from there on
Saturday was that the wounded
man was still alive, though ina
precarious condition,
The cansc of the difficulty is said
tc bave teen a fight between two
worzen, and Phi'lips vietim was
sliot while trying to separate them.
The wurderer left immedintely
after Ihe shooting, but was capt
uredt in Dawson Saturday by
Sherift Tobe Thornton, As Phil
lips was entering town near Rior
dan'’s store Terrell’s sheriff Epigyl
h.m in a wagon and immediately
informed bhim of the longivg
the Webster officials had
after his body. W hen on attempt
was made to handeuft the prisener
he reached back asif to draw a pis
pistol, but as quick as lightning
the watchful Sheriff divined hLis
purpose and covered the murderer
with his own weapon. With as
sistance the prisoner was securely
handcufied, but this did not subs
due him, as on the way up town
he caught hold of the Sherift and
showed fight. lle was knock
ed down with a hickory stick and
broughton without further trouble.
In the afternoon the prisoner
was turned over to Deputy Sheriff
Purvis and another officer from
Webster. i
A gentlemen who came to towa
Saturday wid something that seri
ous'y reflects on the Webster offi
cials, This gentleman says that
Phillips rode in his wagon a part
of the way 1o Dawson and while
on the road severai miles from
town were overtaken by the offis
cers who had the warrant for his
arrest. They knew he was the
man they wanted and after talks
ing with him awhile passed by and
came on to Dawson to get Sherift
Thornton to make vhe arvest.
Terrell's plucky Sherift aceom
modated them, though the under
taking was a httle risky.
