Fine. Cane. On Tuesday last, Henry Harrell, a worthy colored man who lives on Mr. E. B. Bridges’ place, brought to our office two stalks of sugar cane which lie took from bis patch. It was very fine—l 7 fully matured joints—and seven feet high. Henry is a hard working man, and deserves encouragement from his white friends. Is there a colored man in the county who can beat his cane? If so, let him trot it in. Still Coming— -New Goods ! Messrs. Rogers A Laing are still re ceiving their Fall and W inter stock of clothing and dry goods generally, direct from New York. In a few days their stock will be complete and consist of everything usually kept in a first-class stock of general mer chandise. They are offering extra inducements —their goods must be sold. Call on them before buying. Wild Land Sales. Quite a large crowd was in town last Tuesday to greet Sheriff Christie as he mounted the box to sell the wild lands advertised last month in tiie Journal. .V number of the lots advertised were not sold as affida vits were filed alleging that the tax es had been regularly paid. As an ticipated, there was same spirited bidding. The purchaser’s tide to these wild lands becomes perfect at the expiration of a year; and if the land is redeemed by the original own er within that time the purchaser gets back his money with twenty per cent, premium thereon. —i - lay Your Subscription. Cotton is coming in rapidly and bringing a good price. We hope our subscribi rs, some of whom we have indulged for a long time, will now come tip and settle. 1\ e l ave not called for money during the dull summer months, but now, that a bountiful crop lias been made and is being gathered and sold, we hope all will come up and pay the small amount due us. Mean ! Mean l 31 can ! We have often chronicled very mean little acts which occurred in our city, but now have the meanest of all to record. Last i tiesday nigh,, while Mr. Walter Jordan was wit nessing the dramatic performance at die college, some unknown person cut his bridle and saddle to pieces and turned his horse loose. There mav be some fun in such depraving acts, but we must say that the guilty person is meaner than the man who kicked acorns out of the pa h of a blind pig In future, we trust our people will keep a close watch and catch all such low principled scroun drels. ,m • Local Editor Dawson Journal, Di:\k Sir: Last week I had occa sion to visit your town and purchase seme dry goods. One of your “bright and ac commodating cle.ks” waited upon me in his shirt sleeves. It’s an ' nsuU for a c,erk t 0 wait upon a lady in his shirt sleeves; don ’* VOU think SO? *ISSaIUI. Well, Miss Sallie, we think it right for clerks to wait upon lady customers wi th their coats on, but we would not advite them t 0 cat the sleeves ef their shirs off. L:cal In’ The Entertainments. As stated in last week’s issue. Pro tection Fire Company of our city gave two public entertainments at College Chapel last Tuesday and W ednesdav evenings. The object of these entertainments was to raise funds with which to uniform and otherwise equip our company for ac tive service in case ot fire. The price of admission was fixed at t wen tv-five cents, and the chapel was not “pack ed by sun-set” as lias heretofore been the custom at free shows. However, a good audience was present each night. Some of the best histrionic talent of our city appeared upon the stage, and the selections were most excel lent. That beautiful and touching drama, “East-Lyime,” together with mirth provoking comedies, were ad mirably rendered. For over three hours the delighted spectators were entertained by the rendition of these selections, and as the curtain fell at the close of each scene the audience evinced their thorough appreciation of the acting of the several characters. We have not the space at this late hour (Wednesday night) to criticise severally the acting of the various characters, for all agree that in the main it was quite good. Runaways. Last Saturday was a good day for runaways. Judge Sasser and his spirited horsedecided to “play circus.’’ The Judge got in his buggy, whip ped his horse, which ran down Main Street. At the South-east corner of public square, the horse made a sud den turn and the Judge alighted up on his head and received several se vere bruises. This part of the circus was declared closed for the day. Later in the afternoon, Mr. H. T. Jordan’s horse became frightened and ran through the streets, bursting to pieces the wood work around the lit tle well in front of Griffin’s store, and playing several other miraculous wonders until he ran into Dir. J. H Cannon’s buggy and smashed the two fore wheels to pieces. Our little devil was in the last buggy, and went up in the air and came down in the mud head-foremost. He loudly de clared his part of the show ended for all time to come. A large crowd witnessed the circus, all of whom pronounced it a complete success. The big show having closed, (he wri ter, with a complimentary ticket, vis* ited the “sole show,” which consisted of a first class dog fight The heav iest looser was Mr. Camion, who paid seven dollars to have his buggy re paired. Can’t some other friend “bring in another horse” next Satur day. , Handle Your Cotton Carefully. Pack your cotton carefully. We advise all of our readers who are engaged in rais ing cotton to handle it carefully. Do not mix two grades in picking. Put on good bag ging and fasten your ties well. The time was when cotton Was worth so much and ia such good demaud that it would sell, uo matter how it was rut up; hut that time has passed. Cotton is not like it was. The roan who wants to get the best price, for his cot ton must be careful in handling it and use good bagging and tics. Times ha- e changed and you must change with them or suffer loss. Agricultural Society. The next regular meeting of the Terrell County Agricultural Society will be held at the Court-house in Dawson, on next Satur day, the Tth iuslant, at 10 o’clock, a. m. It is very important that all the members of said society be present on that day, as all arrangements for the fair will be made. The committees appointed at the last meeting are urgently requested to r port on that day. Among the greatest auxiliaries to the de velopment of a country, a chief agency is found in an annual fair. Nothing contributes more to the social and physical strength of a community, than a rivalry invited by these periods. The exhibits of products of the sod of live stock, and of articles of manuficture, are all calculated to encourage investments I in labor and genius. The success of one man in any particular branch of industry is sure to impel another man to greater cxer- . tion, and society becomes the beneficiary,— i Expeiience, which is by far the best teacher, has shown that in sections of the country ■ where these fairs have been held for any length of time, the farms are more prodne- j tire, ihe farmers more prosperous, the breeus ! of stock finer, mechanics more active, and ; every branch ot industry and art in better j condition, than in the sections where such annual meetings ate not held. The Stepping Stone to Health. The acquisition ot vital energy is the 'tep ping 6tone to health. When t.c system tacks vitality, the vaiious organs fligin their dutv, become chronically ir regular, and disease is eventually instituted- To pre vent this unhappy s'ate of things, the debili tated system should be built up by the use j of that inimitable tonic, llostetter’3 Stom ach Sitters which invigorates the digestive organs, and insures the thcrougn cocveision of food into blood ot a nourishing quality, from whence every muscle, neiveaud fiber acquire unwonted supplies of vigor, and the whole ev-'tem experiences the beneficial ef fect. Appetite returns, the system is refresh ed by healthful slumber, the nerves grow strong and claim, the despondence begot ten of chronic indigestion and an uncertain state of health disappears, and that aallow appearance of the skin peculiar to habitual invalids, and persons deficient in vital ener gy, is replaced by a more beco ming tinge. Communicated. Mmsits. Editors: —There is a sec tion of country north-eas'of your city which seems to hum been -lighted this year. We ha ve suffered for rain all tho time, and,* only for occasional Mowers would have made an entire failure. We, however, will make a fair corn crop. Our cotton is not more than a half crop, and in many ins’an ces, almost a complete tail tire, and all ex cept those, ns Bill Arp says, who have side-shows to their circuses, ate dead broke. We hope our creditors will not press us, as it is not our fault. B. A. Good Digestion. “Give us this day our daily bread ’ and good medicine to digest it, is both reverent and human. The human stomach and liver are fruitful sources of life’s comforts; or, disordered and diseased, they tingle misery along every notvo and through evety artery. The man or woman with yood diyi-ilion seen beauty as they walk, and overcome obstacles they meet in the rotate of life, where the dyspeptic sees only gloom and stumbles and gtowls at every irnaginaiy object, The world still needo two or three new kinds of medicine before death can be noifcct ly abolished ; but that many lives have Imen prolonged, end many suffoiers from Liver disease, Dispepsia and Headache, have been cured Mekueil’s llei’atini;, is no longer a doubt, it cures Headache in twenty minutes, and there ia no question hut what it is tiie most wonderful discovery yet made in medical science. Those afflicted with Biliousness and Liver Complaint shriild use Meuukll’s Hfpatine. It can be had at Db. J. II Janes. Query:— “Why wi’l men smoko common tobacco, when they can buy Marburg Bros ‘Seal of JSorthCaroina,’ at the same price ?” ■i • <■— Aii Undeniable Truth. You deserve to suffer, and it v u lead a miserable, unsatisfactory life iu this beaut- I’ul world, it, is entirely your own fault and there is only one excuse lor you,—yout unr reatonahle predjuaiee and skepticism, which has killed thousands. Personal knowledge and common sense reasoning will soon show you that Green’s August Flower will cure you of Liver Ootnpiain:, or Dyspepsia, with all its miserable effects, such as sick head ache, palpitation ot the heart, sour Stomach, habiiuil costiveness, dizziness ct the head, nervous prostration, low spirits, &c.
