Newspaper Page Texts By E. L. RAINEY. OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE COUNTY. S —_—— DAWSON, MAY 7ru, 1890, The News is Appreciated. The Nrws has added n:ore new names to itsTsubseription list durs ing the past few weeks, althaugl it s the dull season of the year, than at any time since the paper has been under the pres: ert management, These aew sub ecriptions are substantial recogui tion of ‘our efforts to give the peo~ ple the best country paper they have ever had, and to one and all We express our most hearty thanks. Let the good work go op une til the paper will shed i sauny light in every househoid in the county‘ Real Estate Active. Real estate is active in Dawson. But there is a marked abser.ce of anything like excitement in the market. A city does not stand .still. Tt goes either backward or forward. There is certainly no reason to be lieve that Dawson can retrograde. Hence it must increase in impor tance. ‘The probable rapidity ot growth can best be judged by the past. In ten years Dawson has aoubled its population, doubled its transportation facilties, doubled its banking capital and doubled its general trade; and in each ot the ten years the growth has been greater than during the preceding year, By the close ofthe next decade it will have again doubled its popu lation and trade, The Pelitical Field. Hon. F. G. dubignon, late President of the Senate, who is a close politican observer, atter look~ ing over the political field in Geor gia, predicts the election ot Norths ern for Governor. He thinks Crisp, Blount, Stewart, Turner and Clements will be returned to Con gress without opposition , uniess the Alliance organization concludes to put candidates in the field in all of the districts. He believes that Colley is slightly the favorite in the Eighth district, though the issue between him and Lawson isuncer tain. In the Ninth the situation is 80 uncertain that no guess can be made as to the result. Mr. du- Bignon predicts that the lease ot the State road under under the act will fail, Growing All the Time. The large growth of Dawson has been exceedingly gratifying to its citizens and rather surprising to the croakers. Omne has only to go through the city and inspect its streets to find what a general im~ provement is being made to our architecture. The past ten years have wrought a wonderful change. Our business sections are full of new structures, and many hand. some residences have beer erected and occupied, Butit is not in the city alone that- this improvement is going on. All arcund Dawson new structures are being built, new industries are being started. It hasalways been a matter of surprise that our surs rounding territory has not been more fully developed. In every direction new enterprises are being started, and the signs of 9 new era are manifest. It is not the prog ress of temporary booms, but a steady, incressing developement, substantial and permanent. All this is valuaple to Dawson as a city. The prosperity of its surrounding territory means more prosperity for its interests. Terrell County’s Roads. Good roads are good investments. It is the boast of many of the more populous counties of Ken tucky that their roads are best in the country, and this boast is jus tifiable; for, thanks to the wisdom and zeal of the late Rev. Dr. ‘ Breckenridge, there are no better dirt highways to be found in any agricultural districts. What is‘ more, the people whom he induced to build them, found that money spent in putting their highways in good condition and in keeping them up to the etandard was pro fitably iavested. 1t increased the value ot their real estate, and it made a decided saving in the cur rent annual expenses of all who trequently use them. The wear and tesr ot had roads {on animals, vehicles and h:u'n(‘s.s{ is no incousidersble sddition tol the expense ot tarwers, and of gl | who have muel cariing to do. But it is not these ulone who are the losers. There is not a town or vile lage whose merchants depend largely upon the outlying country for their tiade, that does ot sufler feom lorg periods of dullness bes causeof the bad condition of the highways, Were it possibie to übulate all the losses of the coun~ ‘ry during a single year from this one cause, the spgregate would ruu up to an astonnding figure. It wonld pay every Southern community, bath in town and in country, to see to it that all their thoroughfares are put and kept in good condition. There js money in it, but there is wasie in its neg leat. 7 Col. 8. Wise Parker, special sgent for the enumeraticn of mort gages forthe Sixth Georgia census district, has been to Webster, Stewart and Lee counties securing the necessary statistics. In Weba ster he found that 350 real estate mertgages had been recorded in ten years, in Stewart about six hundred, and a like number in fLee courty. Only about one in ten of the mortgages was cancelled. It is fortunate for Dawson that Hamilton & Co., who are largely interested in our zotton com press, will open a permanent office here. They are among the heaviest ex port cotton bayers in the south, and to have them directly interest~ ed with us will do both city and country an immense amount of good. Just keep your eyes open and watch the fur fly during the next cotton season. The melon men who met in Al bany last Wednesday seem hopelul for a profitable season. The rails roads have made important conces. sions and the melon growers have perfected an organization that will protect them from swindling coms mission men. The Leader is the name of a newspaper to be published at Fort Valley in a few days. Mr. W. F. Wynn will be the editor, and bright Jack Powell, of Bronwocd Reporter fame, will assist him. Here's to the Leader. Mr. R. A. Nisbett has tendered his resignation as secretary of the Georgia Agricultural Society. It is said that Mi. Nisbett will take the stump in behalf of Mr. Norths ern. who is now the only candidate for governor.' In the election ot delegates to the Gubernatorial convention in Alabama Kolb is in the lead up to date, with about fifty-five votes, but the other candidate are coming on right after him. In the death of Senator Beck, which occured suddenly st Wash ingten Saturday,the country loscs an eminent citizen and the Demo cratic party one of its ablest men. Dave Dudley and Matt Davis are still being held up hy the ad ministration tongs, and the good people of Athens and Americus are still in suspense. ExsPresident Cleveland was ad mitted to practice in the United States Supreme Court Thursday in Washington, D. C. BIIS. Guano soles have played out. Justice court will be in session Friday. Goad rains and a heavy hale last Sunday. Paint is being applied to the new Columbus Southern depot. The sun has been getttng in some good, houest summer vork. The fly and the baldheaded man will row engage in deadly warfare. } Chickens are =o high that even Sambo can't reach them after dark. We are sorry for the girls, as the green plum crop is a failure. A Dawson young lady is so modest that she cails it the limbis lature. The sidewak farmer is, in an ticipation, already drawing his dividends. The negroes, and some white people, drink a sight of whisky in Dawson every Saturday. Dawson has a population of 3,000 now, and if her growth con. ‘tinues she will have 5,000 in less lthan two years. : Horsley & Killen have the best selection of ladies and children’s sLoes in the ciry, S PTTMAN'S TOUR. l The Treasurer of Albany Goes Astray. A special trom Albany, in Sun day's Constitution, says: The flight of Gury Pittman,; city treasurer of Albany, is to~day the sensation here. Colonel H. M. Meclntosh, whol hag just returned from Nottingham, verifies the rumors, showmg that the unfortunate youngy man was the victiia of a broken boom, Gary Pittman has been for two years city treasurer. From the position of business manager of the News and Advertiser, he, receiving some weaus from his father’s estate about a year ago, embarked in the brick business near Albany, con ducting u large yard. DRAWN INTO A BOOM. About three months ago he was drawn into the boom of the new town of Nottingham in Alabama, was elected cashier of the Bauk of Nottingham, opened a brick yard with orders for two mi'lion brick, ran two stores, built a handsome residence, and commenced erecting numerous tenement houses. All his available assets, in fact all he could control, was invested in Not tingham, At the great land sale, which occurred two or three weeks ago, he expected to reap a golden har vest, and reimburse his creditors. Everything he has was mortguged, even to his furniture, to procure money. The land sale was a fails ure. There were no buyers. Pitt~ man saw that he was ruined. He told his wite that it he could not raise eight thcusand dollars in Chattanooga he would have to lesve the country, and he would telegraph her; told her he would send her to her parents or she could go with him. I 8 WIFE JOINED HIM, She decided, like a true wife, to cling to his fallen fortunes. He ‘drew a check tor $l,BOO at Chats tanooga on the Nottingham bank, | telegraphed her, and heart-broken and sobbing bitterly, she joined 'him at some designated station, ‘and together they fled. It was known to what point his ticket had been purchased, and he “could have been apprehended, but ‘ no efforts were made by his bondss | men to arrest him. Being re-elec ted city treasurer, the retinng board of aldermen, in Januery, turned over to him $3,300 and no debts. He collected some six thou sand dollars trom licenses. From this amount enough was expended{ to make his ehortage with the city $7,300. | Complimentary. Last Monday evening, at the lovely residence of Mr., and Mrs. J. H. Jossey, one of the most de light*ul entertainments of the sea~ season was given, complimentary to Misses Beulah and Blanche Roberts, of Dawson. The spacious parlor und hall were filled with the society folks of Smithville, gathers ed to do homage to the fair bene~ ficiaries of the evening, Possessed of most vivacious and attractive manners, they have won hosts of friends and admirers in this city, and their departure to-day will be a source of much regret. At about 10 o'clock refreshs ments were serv:d., The collation spread was a most sumptuous one, and the pleasure derived was too fully illustrated to need f{urther comment. Iu the gleam ot beau ful lights, the rich colors and sparkling jewels of the fair ladies were quite dazzingly effective. It was a gathering of beauty, brils liancy and grace: the fair, sweet side of life—of consequent ease, in a word, nepenthe and enjoyment. —Smathville News. A Speedy Trial. The following special was sent from Fort Gaines last Saturday : Our community is greatly exs cited over an outrage perpetrated on Minnie Olin, the infant daugh~ ter ot E. D. Adams, only sevens teen months old, by a negro hoy, about fifteen years old, named Gordon (onley. For a while threats of lynching were heard in all directions, but as the criminal islodged in jail, and a large petiv tion will be sent to Judge Guerry requesting a term of court to try the fiend, we presume the enraged citizens will await the verdict of the jury.
