DAWSOX’S BUILDING BOOM.
Contractors and Architeets Have all
They Can Do,
Dawson is building up more
ripidly now then at any other
period in her history.
The contractors and architeets
have more than they can do aud,
in fact, hands eannot be had to do
near all the work of house build
g that is already planned and let
out to the coutractors.
This statement is verified by the,
architects and the builders all over
the city.
Scores of new residences are be
ing planned for commencement
next sprinz, and almost every day
sees the completioa of some hand
some and costly edifice.
Besides their home work, the
Dawson designers and eontractors
are being sought in other citics.
In Dawsou, the number o: busi
ness houses going up is no less
wonderful than the pumerous resi
dences, from mansion to cottage,
being rapidly pushed to comple
tion in all parts of the city.

TERRELL AHEAD.
Her Census increase the Largest m the
District.
The census returns for this dis
trict have been completed, and as
was to have been expected, Terrell
shows the largest per cent increase
ot auy of her sister counties,
Her population is now 14,592,
an increase of 4,021, Randolph
givesan increase of 1,902, Webster
448, Calhoun 1,409, wivle Lee de-~
creases 1,523 and Dougherty 403.
Sumter Shows an increase of
only 719 over Terrell, while the
‘atter's rate per cent is much the
largest,
Thus it will be seen that Terrell
is bound to become the leading
county of Southwest Georgia, sad
it may be saf to say thit the nest
census will show that she has ad.
vanced to that posiifn,

A SERIOUS MATTER.
There is an unwonted scarcity ot
vacant dwellings in Dawson, and
the demand is inereasing daily.
Hal? a dozen parties have been in
the city this weck in quest nf“
houses, and others are only detcrrs
el from coming by a knowledge ot
the city’s inability to accommodate
them. Thisis getting to be a ser- |
ious question, and it is one that
eifects most vitally the future
growth aud prosperiy of the town. |
We respecttully commend it to the’
consideration of those who have the
means to supply this urgent need,
and trust they will be equally
prowpt and ready in meeting the
cmergency.
