the News is the Offieial paper of both

we quarantee our Circulatvon to equal
the combined ecoculations of the two
other papers published wn the county.
Wil Help Dawson. 1
It ecems that the people of Cal- |
houn county will help Dawson in |
getting the Alabama, Georgia and |
Florida rmilrond, TLast week's|
Courier copiel our remarks about |
the road, and made the following |
appeal to the people of that county
to help Dawson:
*‘Let the people along the pro
pheed line bestir themselves, and
reap tle bencfits which the cona
atruction of this road wonld confer
upon us. letus come to Daw
son’s support, aud help her to force
the projeet to a successful consus
mation.”
The people of Duwson appre
ciate the Courier's position, and
the NEwS assures Col. Cook of
their distinguished appreciation.
Editor Cook was There. ‘g
The people ot Columbia, Ala., |
gave abig barbecue one day last
week on the completion of a handa |
eome hew court house. To \his har-\
becue everybody was invited, and |
an excursion train was run through
some of the lower counties of Geor
gia to afford & way ot conveyance
to all who desired to feast on bar!es
cue and gaze on a new court house
in Columbia. Among the throng
that went from Georgia was our
friend and neighbor, Colonel Sid
Cook, of Calhoun County Courier.
The Colovel scems to have entered
fully int 3 the spirit of the occasion,
and spirte seemed to bave fully »nd
frequently entered the Colonel on
the occasion. judgiog from the fol
lowing acknowledgement. His
-wpen and frauk confession cxcites
‘admiraton and is itself an appeal for
forgiveress which the mest saintl;
person could not resist. In the
T.et issue of the Courier Coionel
Cook says:
“*The editor of the Courier rises to
n question of personal privileges.
He makes the admission that he
was very nearly it not fully drunk
at Columbia last Friday. We
have nothing to say in palliation
of this departure from the dign'ty
of our position as an editor and l
self«respect as a man. Itwas just |
simply for the want of sense. We |
Teel that what little selfirespect
~we have left will prevent us from ‘
making a circus ot ourself again.
“We were a participant in the
only unpleasant episode of the day.
A (izllficulty wrs forced upon us by
a man named Stuckey, of Blakely,
and for a while we felt we would
wever get home save with our toes
turned to the daisi~s. The affair
was a great surprise to vs, as well
as extremely mortifying.
“The Jadies, God bless them,who
presided over the refreshment
stands, were gracious and kind to
even those who had to hold on to
the tables while they disposed of
their ice eream or lemonade ™
A BTRANGE insect has made its
appearance in the cotton fields in
Wild Cat district, says the Oconee
Enterprise. Itis very small and
literally covers the under side of
the cotton leaf and saps the life
from every stalk, leaving the
whole field lifeless. This insect is
creating great consternation among
the farmers, as it threatens to dew
etroy the éntire cotton crop in that
district. ;
THERE are many politicians in
Georgia who are really anxious to
know whether Henry Grady will be
a candidate for governor or for
congress, Jast now it really makes
no diflerence, but it can be safely
calculated that any campaign nto
which he enters as one ot the chief
actors will be lively in the exs
treme,

TERRELL DIRT.
$6,000 Paid For 600 Acres of Land.
A real estate transaction was
-made last week that is another high
l testimonial to Terrell’s prosperity,
and while the property sold cheap,
it thows what changes a few years
' bave brought aboeut.
. Mr. J. J. Buckhalt. one of our
| prosperous planters, purchased the
’Sz B.F, }Xlrrell plantation, con~
I sisting ot 600 acres, cleared and
| woodland, paying therefor £6,000.
| The farm is about four miles from
| the city.
l Mr. Buckl alt has unquestionably
{gecurec a cheap place. Heis one
| of Terrell's best and n.ost prosper
| ous citizen:, and by judicious farm
tinghas i a few years extracted
| enough frem Terrell dirt to buy a
(fine plantation and stock with
| which to cultivate it.
He farms on the business plan,
and his crops are always fine aud
