DAWSON JOURNAL local column. to Newspapers. Tho Scientific American of August stli furnishes tho following in response tocortain requests. It says: “Wo have beon asked to givo tho law, as it stands, relating to newspapers and subscribers.” 1. Subscribers who do not givo ex press notice to the contrary, are con sidered as wishing to continuo their subscriptions. 2.

If subscribers nogloct or refuso to tako their periodicals from tho office to which they are directod, they aro hold responsible until theyJiavo settled thoir bills, and ordered them discon tinued. 4. If subscribers movo to places without informing the publishers, and' the papers aro sent to tho formor di- j rostion, they aro held responsible. 5. Tho courts havo decidod that re fusing to tako periodicals from tho of fice, or removing and ioaving them uncalled for, is prima facie ovidenco of, intentional fraud. C. Any person who receives a now s- ■ paper and makes use of it, whothor \ he has ordered it or not, is held, in i law, to be a subscriber. Popular night sport about Dawson,' 'Possom hunting. i Kov. J.

Most of our merchants havo return ed from the Northern and Eastern Markets, and offer large stocks of goods ai such prices as will not fail to give satisfaction. Cotton buyers are as plentiful as loan dogs and seem to bo hungry for tho staple. Do bring it to them. The Bainbrldgo Sun advocates May er Huff, of Macon, as tho next Gov ernor of Georgia.

' j Another Fire.— On Saturday night 1 last about half-past eloven o’clock the residence of Mr. B. H. Hood was on' ' tiroly consumed by firo. It is thought tbo firo was accidental, and caught from tlio stove in the kitchen which was joined to the house. Most of the house 1 furniture was saved but the kitchen | furniture was a total loss. Loss about SBOO.OO. No insurance, 1 The three first brick stores that were began by Judgo Simmons and Farnum j Sharp & Cos , are nearly complete, and two of thorn are occupied already. Ono by S.

Tho fencing is also nearly complete, and tho prospect now is very good for [ a successful Fair. A Dawson darkio taunted a Cutli bert darkie tho other day about being poor.

I The “New Hotel” fever ha3 passed off and is succeeded by an old fashion ed chill. Tho meeting on last Thurs day night was a complete failure in every respect. So numerous were the i motions and so confounded were the pvo- Icecdings gonerally the Secrotary do 1 c linos any attempt at a report, and will only add that if we want a larger ho* I t e i than we now have, (Mr Collins will j feed you as good as anybody) it will not do to start a half dozen and fin , ish none of them, but first settle the j question as to locality, and then get the money and build.

Wo hove secured the sorvices of some of the best mechanical talent in the Northern shopa, in addition to soms of the best workman from tbe shop of tho Into Samuel Griswold. Mr. Chas. Gardner, who served eight yearn apprenticeship under E Carver & Cos., at East Bridgewater, Mass., and who was employed as Superintendent of tho Double Wells shop, from the com mencement of tho manufacture of the Moore Cotton Gin, until its suspension, is again at his post, frnd will givo each Gin his personal inspection before it ’eaves tho shop. In calling the attention of planters to our Cotton Gins, wo desire that thoy should notice *-h#improvoments we offer, which aro substantially as follow* A PORTA BLE ROLL BOX, For obtaining any inclination of the Gin Rib or Grate, is used ; the object of which is to improve in the quantity ginned, lesson tbo quantity and improve the quality of lint. Also, to gin damp or wot cotton; to alter the picking or separating tho lint from the seed—either to tako moro lint off, or less lint from tho seed, os circumstances require. We uso both tho common Roll Box and a Swinging Front. Tho latter is arranged to let out all tho seoda and bulla in a moment, and is very easily managed. THE OUST BRUSH We moke, cannot bo excelled by any hair brush nsod. Tho bristles aro all drawn in by a cord, nnd tbe timber is all selected from tho best lumbor, well seasoned • and every brunh is made perfectly firo and rat proof.

COTTON SEED CRUSHING MILL Wo are tbo only successful manufacturers of thin important and useful in vention—the Cotton Gin, with tbe Cotton Seed Crushing Mill att ched. I will hardly bo necessary here to allude to ttie 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., 1860, for the best Cotton Seed Crusher attached to tho Gin Stand, to crush the seed as fast as it escapes from the Roll. We refer to some of tho many certificates that wo havo oil tlio subject. TRIAL PE GINA Wo koop constantly on han'l seed cotton, and overy Gin is tried before it leaves tbe shop—old cr now ones. REPAIRING OE OLD GINS. Wo have a complete assortment of tho very best Cotton Gin Macbineiy in tho country, and mnko repairing of old Gins a specialty.
