S. R. Weston, Secretary. Ice ! Ice ! ! —We have heard much complaint by the citizens of town and country on account of not being able to get ice Hcless mixed with whiskey or some other compound- Wo aro pleased to announce that Messrs. Far uum, Sharpe & Cos. are now prepared to furnish ice to all w-ho need it, espe cially to the sick. Educational Notice.— The Commis sioners, Trustees and teachers in the county aro requested to meot at the Court House iu Dawson on the first Saturday iu August next at 10 o’clock. A full attendance is earnestly request ed. Persons wishing to bo examined, will please attend. L. M Hennaed, C. S. T. C. The adjourned term of Terrell Su perior Court, which was to have con vened at the Court House on Monday last, has been postponed by Judge Harrell until Thursday, the 3rd of Au gust, or 6uch time as may suit the convenience of those having business in that Court. Plantebs Warehouse. —See Advor- 1 tisement of Dodd & Simmons, Ware- 1 house & Commission Merchants. The i reputation enjoyed by both members 1 of this Firm, as men of energy, integ- 1 rity and unsuppassed businoss quali fications, is sufficient guarantee for those who desire to send their cotton to Dawson, and all that is necessary is for the public to k now that such a copartnership has been formed. To Distillers. —We have received a notice from the Assistant Assessor U. S. Internal Revenue, 2nd District of Georgia, in regard to distilling liq uors. The law requires a special tax of SSO, and brandies have also to be guaged by a U. S. G linger. Those interested can get any desired infor mation by addressing S. T. Moore, Americus, Ga. AVe have examined the drawing of the proposed county Jail, and if erect ed according to this plan, it will not be a bad looking house by any means Mr. H. Atkinson, Architect and Su rerintendontof the Dawson Car Works, drew up the plan, and although we bad great confidence in liis ability in this lino before, we aro now convinced that he is master of that art. Unlucky Fishing Excursion. —Mr. J- 13. Avant, of our town, together xitk a number of citizens from the country, went last week to Pino Is land, Calhoun co., on a fishing and bunting excursion. Mr. A. lost a very valuable horse, and he was tak en very ill, but was fortunate in shar ing the attention of Dr. Shelby-, who » ever ready to render aid under such circumstances. Surely there are some of the clev erest people in Dawson that ever blessed any neighborhood. As proof °f this fact, we mention Uncle Jolin “y Asbury, who from ago and infirmi ty) sometimes finds it difficult to get ebout, and in his feebleness plodded bss way to the hungry writer’s resi dence, and presented him with a bas ket of the finest peaches we havo soen this soason. We are also indebted to Mr. B. H. Hood ior an invitation, "■hich we accepted, to his residence to e ®t peaches. Railroad Meeting.— A railroad Meeting was held at Morgan on Sat urday lagt, and was addressed by Col. kelson Tift, President of the Albany, Mobile & New Orleans Railroad. If n °t misinformed, the object of the meeting was to ascertain whether or they could get the extension of the Road by that town. — R*e effort, if an effort at all, failed, and we suppose the citizens ®f Calhoun have concluded to wait for developments before subscrib -1EI? too liberally to any- railroad enter prise. Scddeiv Death.— Mr. J. W. Foin , ex k)r, of Baker county, accompanied oy his wife, came to Dawson woek be ore last. The wife took the cars at ms point for the purpose of visiting f r relatives, and Mr. P., after selling 1 load cf cotton which he brought to roarkc-t, returned to his home with the understanding that he should meet his ' 6 the depot on the 27th (to-day), -n arriving at his home, he retired in ~!‘ 6 a Pparent usual health, and was •°imd dead in Lis bed next morniDg. Sunday School Celebration at Nl' v Hope. We had the ploasuro of meet ing with the people of New Hope in their annual festival on last Friday. About one year ago, we enjoyed the hospitalities of the same neighborhood, and glad were we when we learned that there was to be anothor reunion of friends and neighbors, and that we were honored with an invitation. We found tho little ones, the future hope of the country, and the Sunday School cause were to receive the honors of tho occasion, and that tho committee arra ngements had secured, as ora tor of tho day-, Professor Armstrong, one of the most ardent and able ad- vocates of the cause. The school, un der the direction of the Superinten dent, J. S. Wimberly, and his teaeli j ers > together with a largo nud atten ,tivo audience, assembled in the Church | at 10i o’clock, and the exorcises oow | rneneed by singing some appropriate pieces of music, under the lead of Air. E. Bridges, after which tho speaker was introduced, and for moro than an hour held the entire assembly- spell bound, and never before lias the Sun day School cause been more eloquent ly, faithfully, and we trust successful ly represented. A procossion was then formed, and tho little ones marched to a table loaded down witli the substautials and delicacies of the soason. After they had taken posi tion, the invitation was extended to all, and a committee of ladies and gen- I tlernen waited on the tablo ala Geor gia style. Dinner over, the children, led by that jovial, big-heartod Clark, entered into tho plays that interested both large and small, and an hour was spent very- pleasantly. Again tho au dience assembled in the Church, and listened to speeches, instructive and interesting, delivered by Judge L. M. j Lennard and W. C. Dodd. We left I the grounds thankful that we had | again enjoyed tho hospitalities of this | enterprising neighborhood, uud glad |to know that corn, cotton and tho B. & A. R. R. had not taken entire pos session of their hearts and heads. Temperance Sermon.- —lt was our pleasure, on Sabbath evening last, to listen to a most excellent sermon on tho subject of Temperance, at the Bap tist Church, by Rev. W. G Parks, at the roquest of the I. 0. G. T. This Order, together with the Cold Water Templars, composed of the small chil dren of our town, met at their Hall at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, and after the necessary arrangements, headed by tho proper officers, the procession marched to the Baptist chuich, whore a large crowd had already gathered to hear the sermon. The services were opened by singing and prayer, and then followed the sermon, the j text for which is found in Proverbs, j 23rd Chap., 29-32 verses, and reads! as follows: 29. Who hath yvoe ? who hath sor row ? who hath contentions ? who hath babbling ? who hath wounds without cause V who hath redness of eyes ? 30. They that tarry long at the wine ? they that go to seek mixed wine. 31. Look not thou upon tho wine when it is red, when it givetli his col our in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. 32. At the last it biteth like a ser pent, and stingeth like an adder. After giving an expose of tho text proper, the speaker surveyed the en tire field of crime, portrayed it as ful ly as his limited time would admit, aud traced the cause of a vast amount, of crime to intemperance; showed: that the evils of this vico wore not coo- j fined to barrooms alone, but that oft times the seeds of immorality are sown by tho gay aud apparently innocent. The expressed hope and belief of the ; speaker that the cause of temperance j was tho great moral lever, which iu \ connection with tho Church, should revolutionize the world, was truly in spiring, aud should encourage every one to give aid and strength to the Temperance cause. Another Fair.— We have received a catalogue of goneral and special pre miums to be awarded to successful competitors at tho Second Grand An nual Fair of tho Cotton States’ Me- j chanics and Agricultural 1 air Asso-. ciation, of Augusta, Ga., which com- mences Tuesday, Oct. 31st, and con tinues five days. We notice in tho arrangement and classification of pre miums, provisions have beon made for the encouragement of every branch of industry, aud with the officers of the Association, the energy, capita), &c., that can be brought to bear, there is nothing to prevent the Fair from being a grand success*. Those desir ing to compete for premiums, under any of the various headings, can get any desired information by addressing E. H. Gray, Sec y, Augusta, Ga.

A Tew Words to the I.udiev Many ladies, particularly mothers nursing, complain of a tired, listless feeling, or com plete exhaustion, on arising iu tbe morning. On the wife aud mother devolves the respous sibility of regulating the duties of tlie houses bold Her cares are numerous, and the men tal a- well as the physical powers are fre quently called into requisition. She often finds her slightest occupation a weary task and existence a burden, while at the same time she has no regular disease. Ilostetters Stomach Bitters, if resorted to at tbis period, will prove an unfailing remedy for this an noying lassitude. Toe effects of tbis potent agent are soon seen in tbe tosy cheek and elastic step of the bead of the family, as with restored health and renewed spirits she takes her accustomed place in the family circle. If this friend in need be regularly used, those depressing symptoms will never be complaius ed of, and not ouly would lassitude not be experienced, but many diseases following its advent be avoided. Asa medical agent it has no equal, while its pleasing flavor and healthful effects have made it a geueral fa vorite. It is free from all properties calcu lated to impair the system, *nd its opera tions are at once mild, soothing, and efficient All who have used tho Bittere attest Us vir tues aud commend it to uso.

In calling the atlonticn of pluuters to our Cotton Gins, we desire that they should notice the improvements wo offer, which are substantially as follows : Jk PORTA BUR ROBB box, For obtaining any inclination of the Gin Rib or Grate, is used ; the object of which is to improve in the quantity ginned, lessen tho quantity and improve the quality of lint. Also, to gia damp or wet cotton ; to alter the picking or separating the lint from tho seed—either to take moro lint off, or less lint from the seed, as circumstances require. VVe use both the common Roll Box and a Swinging Front. The latter is arranged to let out all the seeds and hulls in a moment, and is very easily managed.

We arc ibe only siicccseful manufacturers of this important and useful in vention—the Cotton Gin, with the Cotton Seed Crushing Mill attached. It will hardly bu necessary here to allude to the immense saving and economical use of crushed cotton seed as a manure. We received a gold medal as a pre mium, from the Fair of the Cotton Planter’s Convention, held in Macou, Ga., 1800, for the best Cotton Seed Crusher attached to tho Gin Stand, to cru-h the seed as lust as it escapes from tho Roll. We refer to some of the many certificates that v o have ou the subject. TRIAL OF GINS. We keep constantly on hand seed cotton, and every Gin is tried before it leaves the shop-old tt now ones.
