Prof, Goodwin. —Wo soe from tho
Troy Ala. Messenger that Prof. Good

bs noccessary for the board of trustees

Personal. —Wo had a pop-call from
friend Christian of the Cuthbert Ap
peal the other day, who reported that
city improving quite rapidly. Various
projects are on foot for tho advance
ment of her interests in a commercial
point of view. Wo have net yet heard
of a rumor looking to tho ditelling the

New Jail. —Dr. Carter, of Lump

the new Jail at fifty-tliree hundred
Mars, to be finished by the 4th Mon
day in November. Tho Doctor has
peat roputation as a jail builder, and
Te confidently expect to bo able to
boast of the best jail in South"
ff est Georgia. The Doctor lias
pntin his jail for a premium at the
lair. Wo would suggest to him tho
propriety of offering a premium for
tho first prisoner who makes his es
cape therofrom
Phivate I’liKMirus, —It is probable
that the committee on premiums to bo
offered at the Fair have not covered
jhe whole ground, and that some very
wiportant branches of industry have
been left out. Wo suggest to tho
‘fiends of the Association to oxamino
closely the list, and to offer privato
premiums to supply tho deficiency.—
lids, in our opinion, will add much to
he enterprise, and in many instances
*>ll not cost the person offering tho
premium one dollar.

Morality.
In our first article wo presented the
elements of unanimity and committal,
as proven by our community towards
our school enterprises. In this wo
discuss tho question of our morality.
Herein wo fear that Dawson has
boen prejudged, misrepresented and
slandered. I fear that her reputation
has been and is at discount. It is with
communities as with individuals often
in this regard. Many an innocent man
boars tho sins of the guilty. Circum
stances often impugn an innocent par
ty- Misfortune is tho lot of commu
nities as well as of individuals. Tho
human heart naturally loves to repro
bate and condemn. Especially is this
6(7if rivalry or solf-interost is involved.
But let us look to facts. Lot us abido
the testimony of facts. Dawson is
willing to übido facts and history. She
would not sail undor false colors. She
is ready to own her true, but not hor
fictitious reputation. Facts and fig
ures shall now bo the basis of our ar
guments. Our statistical data aro vor
itablo.
Tho aggregate population of Daw
son is about 2000. Os this aggre
gate, about 1500 aro whites, and
about 500 are colorod.
Number of membors in tho Meth
odist Church, 225
Number of mombers in tho Baptist
Church, 125
Number of pupils and teachers in
Methodist Sunday School, 185
Number of pupils and tcaeliors in
Baptist Sunday School, . 100
Number of members of other
Churches, about 50
We have a Young Men’s Prayer-
Meeting and Christian Association. It
is large, influential and growing. It
is not an experiment, It ha3 long
been in vigorous and successful oper
ation. Souls liavo boon convortod
through its agency.
Do not these statistics show a very
fair proportion of tho population of
Dawson to bo religious if Is not the
proportion favorable to the cause of
religion ? Is not the evidence from
this source presumptive in favor of re
ligion ? What of our Sunday School
statistics ? Is not this suggestive of a
wholesome, popular religious convic
tion in this community ? Might not
Dawson, without disposition to vaunt,
but from a desiro of justice, challenge
comparison with her neighbors ? We
trust that our membership is as ex
emplary and faithful as that of our
neighbors, and that our prospects for
futuro existenco and progress are as
good. We would not derogate from
others —we only defend ourselves W o
would not insituate against our neigh
bors, but only seek that justice which
they so highly prize. The feeling of
reprobation is too often indjscriminat
ing.
Let us noto the statistics of our
town in the benevolent Orders :
Number of mombers in tho Lodge
of Free Masons, Ho
Number of membors in the Lodge
of Odd Fellows, . _ 30
Number of members in tho Lodge
of Good Templars, 130
Number of members in the Lodgo
of Cold Water Templars, 07
Where is the community that can
render a better exhibit in favor of
practical morality in proportion to its
population ? Those Orders aro vig
orous and activo. They are zealously
emulating each other in the great
work ot practical benoficenco. They
are justly proud of the living trophies
that daily reward their labors of love.
Emulation herein is the Spirit of our
people. Tho large membership, the
enthusiasm that animates it, tho activ-
ity that characterizes these Orders, bo
gpioak a social life hero of no or
dinary typo. It is sowing good seod.
Wo are daily garnering some of this
blessed harvest. Wo note their amel
iorating influenco on ourselves and in
our family sanctums. Our children
in Dawson, through this effectivo
agency, aro made potent in conserving
tho manners and morality of our com
munity. It is proper to state here
that there are only two housos m
Dawson that retail whiskey.
Our Municipal Government ought
not to be ignored at this point. It is
eminently promotivo of morality and
propriety. It is vigilant in enforcing
law and order. Crime and disor
der of every kind is certainly detected,
promptly and fully punished. Our
Municipal laws and regulations aro
eminently preservative of morality, re
ligion and propriety. The number of
arrests during the present administra
tion has boon very small. For ape.
riod of seven months there have been
only twonty violations of the City
Ordinances. .
Lot us n cw briefly apply m ccndu
sion the argument of this article to tho
question before us. Can there be any
risk in locating a male school in such
a community? Do these facts and
such a social history justly impeach the
moral, social and religious integrity
of our community? Do we hero gen
erate and imbibe a moral and social
atmosphere deleterious to the youth of
our country? llavo all those safe
guards, all those auxiliaries that tho
infirmities of youth demand no guar
antee to afford for tho preservation of
tlioso committed to us ? What does
universal oxperienco teach on this
point? Lot those who would reprobate
us in thoso respects study moro close
ly their ovrn status. Let thoso who
would snear and taunt Dawson invest
themselves in tho immaculate robes of
innocence. Let thoso who would de
fame Dawson feel tho pulso of their
own moral and social health, and do
cido whether they bo in a sounder
state.
In our noxt articlo we propose to
discuss tho lioalthfulness of Dawson.

I.act October, Hearth and Home
passed into the hands of Messrs. Or
ango Judd & Cos. of 245 Broadway,
New York, tho well known publishers
of tho American Agriculturist —a jour
nal long without a rival in sterling val
ue and circulation. The marked im
provements then expected to appear
in Hearth and Home have been fully re
alized, and it is now one of the choicest
illustrated journals anywhere issued
for tho family circle—adapted to both
the juvenile and adult people, and
meeting the special wants of tho house
keeper. Besides it supplies very use
ful chapters for the garden and farm,
and an important news sliest, giving a
valuable resume of tho nows for a week,
up to the moment of issue. From]ssQo to
SBOO worth of very lino engravings
beautify each weekly number. We
notice now a still further mark of en
terprise on the part of tho publishers;
they have secured tho exclusive edito
rial servicos of Edward Eggleston, so
widely and favorably known by liis
writings in Scribner's Monthly, and
many othor Mugazinesand Journals,
and especially as tho cheif superinten
ding Editor of tlio New York Independ

table addition to tho largo and strong
editorial force, Hearth and Home can
not fail to merit and to command
a prominent place in every household,
iu city, village, and country. Speci

the publishers as above. Terms only
$3 a year. Single copies eight cents.
Hearth and Home and American Agri

add ono or both to your supply of

Debility and Emaciation.
Both result from the luck of ability to con
vert the food into nutriment. How necessa
ry then, for those suffering lrom these alarm
ijg symptoms to immediately resort to a
remedy that will strengthen tho storaifth and
digestive organs. For, as soon as this desir
able object has been accomplished the health
improves, and the patient resumes his usual
personal appearance, ilostetter s Stomach
Bitters have attained a world-wide populari
ty iu such cases, and have been proven the
best and safest means of removing constipa
tion, toning the stomach, giving energy to
the liver, and relieving every symptom ot
nervousness and depression of
cheering and beneticiul effects arc highly
spoken of by thousands, who owe to it their
restoration to health. No restorative iu the
annals of medicine has attained the same
popularity in the short spnee of time it has
been before the public, or has won the high
endorsements accorded to this excellent ton
ic. Mi ny other preparatien’, purporting to
be correctives and restoratives, have been
i Produced, and have perished, one by one,
while tho popularity of lfostetter’s Stomach
Bitters continues to increase, and in now re
cognized as a standard household medicine.
The success which attends the use of the
Bitters evinces at odcc its virtues in all cases
of debility and disease of the stomach, Cer
tificates, almost without number, have been
published, attesting its truly miraculous pow
er in removing those painful and tearful *lis«
eases. And at this time it seems idle to do
more tban call attention to the great reme
! ,lv of the age, in order to awaken public at

COMMISSION MERCHANTS,

HEREBY announce to their friends, and the public generally, that they have bought the Warehouse formerly occupied by
aJU. Loyless, Griffin & Jones, where they are prepared to do a general Warehouse and Commission business. Both members of
the Firm have been engaged in the Warehouse business heretofore, and hope, by strict and constant attention to the interests of
planters, in the Storage and Sale of Cotton, to receive a liberal soare of their patronage. Connected with the Warehouse is a
GOOD HOUSE AND WAGON YARD,
especially for the benefit of our patrons, jf-ifßates as * ow as other Houses. ("July 20-3 m

Established in 1852—Formerly at Double Wells.
ALSO, A GENUINE PATTERN OF
The fwrimvoUl Gin,
THE UNDERSIG NED, having resumed the manufacture of the above Gin,
pr pose to make it what it was before tho war—“Tbe favorite of the
South.” Our work stands upon its merits, and we think litis a sufficient guar
antee. We have secured the services of sorno of the best mechanical talent
in the Northern shops, in sddition to some of the best workmen from the shop
of the late Samuel Griswold. Mr. Chus. Gardner, who served eight years
apprenticeship under E Carver & Cos., at East Bridgewater, Mass., and who
was employed as Superintendent of the Double Wells shop, from tho com
meucemoiit of the manufacture of the Moore Cotton Giu, until i's suspension,
is again at bis post, and wi l give each Gin bis personal inspection b< tore it
leaves the shop.
in calling the atlentLn of planters to our Cotton Gins, we desire that they
should notice tho improvements we offer, which aro substantially as follows ;
3Y PORTABLE ROLL BOX,
For obtaining any inclination of tho Gin Rib or Grate, is used ; the object of
which in to improve in tbe quantity ginned, lessen tho quantity and improve
tbe quality ot lint. A'so, to gin damp or wot cotton; to alter the picking or
separating tbe lint from the seed—either to take more lint off, nr less lint from
the seed, ns circumstances require. We 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.
THE GIN BRUSH
Wo meke, cannot be excelled by any hair brush used. Tho bristles aro nil
dtaw n in by a cord, and the timber is nil selected from the best, lumbor, well
seasoned • and every brush is made perfectly fire arid rat proof.
CY LA JNIDE R AN 33 B RIJSH B( )X ES»
Are both oscillating and plain. Cm fut ttisit either, as may Ic ordered. We
1 no them with the best babbit metal.
Grills SAWS.
We make til! the that we use In mi. the bout English Cast Steel, aud o
tiny size that may be disired H e employ, to superintend and manufacture
our saws one of the best saw-tmi'ieis in tho South, and our machinery for the
manufacture of Gin Saws cannot be excelled.
COTTON SEED dltJSliljSTQ Mll/L.
Wo are the only successful manufacturers of this important and useful in
vention—the Cotton Gin, with the Cotton Seed Crushing Mill attached. It
will hardlv be 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
miiim, from the Fair of the Cotton Flutter ’a Convention, held in Macon, Gn.,
1800 for the best Cot ton deed Crusher attached to tho Gin Stand, to crn«h
the seed as fast as it escapes from the Roll. We refer to some of tho many
certificates that we have on the subject.
TLIAIL OF GlNri.
We keep constantly on hand seed cotton, and every Gin is tried before it
leaves the shop —old cr now oucs.
IMAPAI RI NG OF OLD GINS.
We have a complete assortment of tho 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 can bo bought for. Bond on your ofderd and old
Gins early

stood.
Every part is strong and durable j
its motions are all positive, not depen
dent on the variable and uncertain ac
tion of springs, hence it is almost im
possible for a Florence Machine to get'
really out of order, or not to sew if
thronded right.
Tho Machines are warranted in'
every particular.
I intend every Florence Machine j
sell shall give entire satisfaction, sus
tuinirg its reputation as being the
most reliable Sewing Machine in usd.
All I ask is tor you to try the Machine.
