Almost a Fire. —On Friday last,
the alarm of fire was given on the
North-eastern side of town, and not
without cause. Owing to some defect
in the stove-pipe in Dr. Farrar’s kitch

KoiTons Dawson Journal : Knowing
your integrity in deciding i mpurtially be
tween two conflicting claims, we only ex
piour regret thut “business’ 1 prevented
you from becoming a participant in the treat
we enjoyed on the 12th inst. Business Ire
fore pleasure is a very good rule of action,
and undoubtedly vour excuse will be accept
ed by both school, patrons and fiiends.
Agreeable to the request in the last issue Os
your valuable journal, we will endeavor to
give, in us couei e a style as possible, a retro
speetive view of the closing exercises cf the
Brown’s Station School.
The exercises commoner and at 8 o’clock,
a.m., beneath a large and commodious arbor
erected on the East side of the academy,
with an examination of the lower branches,
to-wit: .Spelling, English G'rammar, Arith
rcetic, Geogn piy and L. tn, Eaeir elass s ,
taiued itself with becoming dignity under a
thorough and critical examination on their
different text books, Tire Latin classes, un
der the superinten deuce of Miss Annie
Grubbs, assistant teacher, exhibited a marked
degree of fluency in latin construction, as
well as an accurate and literal translation of
that language.
At 1 2 o’clock the exercises were suspended,
and we repaired to the spacious and well ven
tilated cotton shed near the depot, where a
most extellorrt dinner awaited our arrival
Everything was very tastefully arranged, and
indeed the spot was well chosen for the dis
cussion of those delicious viands. The resi
dents of Brown’s Station, and surrounding
neighborhood know how to excel in such
matters as these, and if you have ever en
j >yed their hospi'aiity on a similar occasion
you can better imagine than we describe.
The afternoou exercises consisted in an ex
amination of the advanced classes in Arith
metic, Algebra, and spet ches from little boys
and gnls. The stHdents gave decided evi
dence of a complete mastery of the funda
mental principles of Arithmetic, and the
speeches by the little people were delivered
as prettily as any wc ever witnessed. We
trink the patrons of the school may con
gratulate themselves on their good fortune
in securing the services of such able and ef
ficient teachers as Mr. W. R- King and Miss
Annie Grubbs.
The evening exercises commenced at 8
o'clock, r.u. Compositions by the young la
dies. We will give you the report of the
committee on prizes as near as we remem
ber :
“We, the committee appointed to judge
respecting the compositions, nave decided in
favor of the following number of young la
dies. After a very hard struggle, we think
each and every one of them entitled to a

Six pi’zes were awarded iu the following
order. First class—Misses Lillie Evans, Lou
Killen aud Emma Lundy. Second class—
d/issesFaQuie Ltwhorn, Mattie Grubbs, and
Fannie Martin. The music classes, though
having been under the instruction of J rs.
King but a short time, performed very well.
The majoiity of tire speeches of the boys
being prineipally extracts, were delivered
with a good deal of force and feeling.
Tire plays were tastefully gotten up, and
spatial commendation is due Mr. D A. Gam
nnge for his successful performance of the
most d.fficult parts. The prizes were award
ed by Prof. C. 11. Wooten of Lee, conclud
ing to a very appropriate address to the stu
dents.
The evening exercises were enlivened with
the exquisite music of the Dawson
Brass Baud, and we do assure them, while
listening to their bewitching strain, “I am
tired now and sleepy too,’’ would never ap
ply to us iu a literal sense.

Nkvv Finn.—Capt. T. M. Jones and
R. T. Harper have formed a partner
ship for the transaction of a general
Warehouse aud Commission business
at the old store of Loyless, Griffin &
Jones. This is anew firm, hut old at
tho business, and are favorably known
by the planters of South West Geor
gia, and express themselves as being
determined to do all in tin ir power to
make it to tho interest of their old
friends and patrons to bring thoir cot
ton to Dawflcn, though they be com
pelled to haul it across iron. Wo ad
mire their spunk.
Tlpe reports -on tho condition of
crops are so conflicting it is impossi
ble to form an idea of what tho gen
eral condition is. One will tell you
he has had plenty of rain, while his
neighbor reports a great need of tho
same. One has a good stand of cot
ton loft after extricating tho grass,
others dug up tho cotton in trying to
get tho grass, &c., Therefore wo will
not attempt to figure at a crop state
ment until tho corn is gathered and
tho cotton ginned and packed. Wo
may safely add, however, tho corn
crop yield will bo short of calculations
mado a month ago.

MOORE COTTON CIN.
Established in 1852—Formerly at Double Wells.
ALSO, A GENUINE PATTERN OF
The drisnwtd din.
THE UNDERSIGNED, having resumed tho manufacture of t're above Gin,
* pr pose to make it what it was before the war—“ The favorite of tho
South.” Our work stands upon its merits, and we think this a sufficient guar
antee. We have secured the services of some of the best mechanical talent
in the Northern shops, in addition to some of tire best workmen from tho shop
of tiie late Samuel Griswold Mr. Cltas. Gardner, who served eight years
apprenticeship under E Carver & Go., at East Bridgewater, Mass., and who
was employed as Superintendent of the Double Wells shop, front the com
meucement of the manufacture of the Moore Cotton Gin, until i'» suspension,
is again at his post, and will give each Gin bis personal inspection befo re it
leaves the shop.
In calling '.lie attention of planters to otir Cotton Gins, we desire that they
should notice ‘.he improvements we offer, which are substantially as billows ;
A. PORTA BEE ROLL BOX,
For obtaining any inclination of the Gin Rib or Grate, is used ; tho object of
which is to improve in the quantity ginned, lessen the quantity and improve
the quality of lint. Also, to gin dump or wot cotton ; to alter tho picking or
separating the lint from tho seed—either to take more lint off, or less lint from
the seed, as circumstances require. Wo use both the common Roll Bits and
a bringing Front. The latter is urrungad to let out all the seeds and hulls
in a moment, and is very easily managed.
THE GIN BRUSH
We rneke, cannot be excelled by any hair brush used. Tho bristles aro nil
drawn iu by a cord, and the timber is all selected from tho best lumbor, well
seasoned • and every brush is made perfectly lire and rat proof.
CYLINDER AND BRUSH BOXES,
Are both oscillating and plain. On fui niali either, as may bo ordered. We
Pno them with the best babbit metal.
GrIJNJ SAWS.
We make all tho satvs that we use from the best English Cast Steel, aad o
any size that may be desired. We employ, to superintend and manufacture
our saws, one of tlio best saw-makers iu tho Soutn, aud oar machinery for tho
manufacture of Gin Buws cimnot bo excelled.
COTTON SEED CRUSHING MILL.
Wo aro the only successful manufacturers of this important and useful in
ventioii —the Cotton Gin, with the Gotten Seed Crushing Mill attached. It
will hardly be necessary heio to allude to the immense saving and economical
use of crushed cotton seed as a manure. We received a gold medal as a pro
mimn, from tl o Fair of the Cotton Planter's Convention, held Jo Macou, Ga.,
1860, for the best Cotton Seed Crusher attached to tho Gin Stand, to cru-h
the seed as fast as it escapes from tho Roll. Wo refer to some if the many
certificates that we have on the subject.
TRIA D OF GlNiri.
We keep constantly on hand seed cotton, end every Giu is tried before it
leaves the shop-old cr new ones.
repairing oe odd gixs.
We have a complete assortment of tire very best Cotton Gin Machinery in
the country, and make repairing of old Gins a specialty. Planters will do
well to send in their old Gins and have them made as good as new, at a much
less cost than anew one ean bo bought for. Seed on your orders ami old
Gins early
We ate also authorized by Messrs. Findlay’s Rons to receive orders orders
for Findlay Si Craig’s Borew Cotton Dress, and Craig’s Patent Portable Horse
Power, and Castings generally.

SEWING MACHINE
IN THE__WORLD.
T have secured the Agency for the*
* celebrated
FLORENCE SEWING MACHINE,
and am prepared, from a personal
knowledge of it, as wolf as by Certifi
cates from three who have used tberny
to testily to its superior excellence’.
Tho following are tho advantages
claimed lor this Machine over all oth
ers;
It is the only kind of Machine that!
makes four kinds ol sliteh, three of
which aro made on ne other Macbino
and are stronger and more elastic than
any other.
It is tho only Machine that can sow
in more than oju direction, having a
reversible toed.
It has air improved hammer, ma
king any wid’h of hem, and easily
managed, owned exclusively by tho
Florence Company.
It will hem anything and make
perfect corners
It hem-, foils, cords, braids, fucks,
qui ts, braids, gathers, &c„ without
busting.
It makes a gather and sows it to”a
band at one operation perfjotly, (m>-
equalcd -in this)
It is the only Machine having aseil
adjuKting shuttle tension—a great im
provement over all others, rendering
it easy to do good work on any fabric
It fastens the end of a seent bettor
and quicker than a seamstress can.
The Florence Sewing Machine is
simple in construction, and requires so
little to change for anv kind of work,
that its operation cau bo easily under-'
stood.
Every part is sliohg ami durable j
Us motions aro all positive, rrot depen
dent ort the variable and uncertain ac
tion of springs, hence it is almost im—
possible for a Florence Machine to get.
reolly out of order, or not to sew it*
threaded right.
Tho Machines aro warranted iu
every particular.
I ln’cnd every Florence Machine I
sell thull give entire satisfaction, sus
taining its reputation as being tho
inont reliable Sewing Machine in use.
All I ask is foryotl to try the Machine.
’toad below certificates from Mrs.
Harrisou lingers, and Mrs. T. J. Hart.
The former has had one of these Ma
chines in constant u e for three years.
