The heaviest rain of the season visi

cheaper than what others have bought
at within the past ten days.
Cotton-buyers in Dawson are paying

Death ot Henry Wilburn.
A note from one of the family of
Mr. P. L. Wilburn of Baker county
brings the sad news of the death of
bis soil, Heniy L. Wilburn, which oc
curred on Sept. 30th. The many
friends and kinsmen of Mr. Pierce
Wilburn in this section will bejminea
to learn of this sad affliction, and
Avill extend their sympathies to the
sorrowing family. Henty’s death was
occasioned by malarial fever ; bo was
a dutiful son, and a very exemplary
young man.
How sad that be should be cut
down in the flower of vigorous and
promising manhood.
Jones & Paschal.
We direct tlie especial attention of
traders to the advertisement of these
gentlemen, which appears elsewhere in
this paper. They are now in the store
room under the printing office, with a
large aud well selected stock ot dry
goods and groceries, which they propose
to sell at as low prices as can be found
anywhere. They invite their friends
and the people generally to call on
them. Mr, L. A. Lowrcy, who is with
these gentlemen as salesman, also invit
es his friends to call and see him*
Hot, Hotter, Hottest.
We don’t mean by the above that we
are hot nor that the weather is in any
way uncomfortable, but that the boquet
given to us on yesterday by Rev. W•
M. Hayes was as hot as—pepper ; in
fact it was a bunch of pepper forming a
beautiful boquet of red, white and
green. The bunch was from one stalk
and contained, we should guess, some
250 pods, including green and ripe
pods. It was the largest bunch of
pepper we ever saw, and if you think
!you can beat it, why trot in your sam
ples.

Cotton Factory.
Wo hear it discussed on the streets
that there is a probability of tho Daw
son Car Works being converted into a
cotton factory. It does seem to us that
such an undertaking would bo both
feasible and practicable; and if our
people would determine to lend proper
encouragement to the enterprise, in a
short time the busy bum of the spindles
might be heard in our midst. .The
buildings and tbo machinery of the
Dawson Manufacturing Cos., that is, a
great part of it, could be utilized at
but small cost, and no very large amount
of money would be required to at least
start the factory successfully. We pre
dict that it will not be loug before the
capitalists of the North will bring their
cotton factories from New England to
the cotton fields of the South, where
tho raw material will be afforded in
abundatfee, and inexhaustible supplies
of fuel be at hand. Why should not
bur Southern people anticipate them,
and not hesitate to take advantage of
our opportunities 1
There is anew plan of operating
cotton factories which is being intro
duced in somo of the Southern States,
(notably ;) and that is, by a
new and peculiar process, seed cotton
is converted into yarns, and the labor
aud expense of ginning and paceking
are saved. It is said that this is a very
economical method of changing the
fleecy staple into yarns and cloth, and
that it is destined to take well in the
South. The projected cotton factory
here might adopt this system if, after
thorough investigation, it is deemed
best.
If the shares of the stock were in
small sums of, say $25 or SSO, nearly
every one could take a share or so, and
thus all of our people would becomo
interested in working for the success of
the factory. It might be well to receive
cotton in payment of stock, and all of
our farmers could readily afford to in
vest a bale or half of a bale iu cotton
factory stock.
We should rejoice if such a scheme
were set on foot in our little city; and
the upward progress of our town and
county, we believe, would be materially
accelerated.
Can not these reflections produce ac
tual and real results 1 We trust so.
_from thes depths of our nature, and we
believe so, it our citizens will only so
determine. There is no other agency
that would do more for our eummunity.
All professions and avocations would
share Ihe beneficial effects. Population
of our town would be increased; new
avenues of trade would bo developed ;
real estate would be enhanced ; and our
farmers would find a better market for
their crops. We stand ready to lend a
help tag hand to the cotton factory, and
to strive for Unsuccessful establishment.
Tricks* of the Trade.
In consequence of the sharp compe
tition in all branches of trade, manu
facturers arc naturally seeking every
method to manufacture goods cheaper
than their rivals. The cheapening is,
we regret to say, in many instances at
the expense of the quality or purity of
the goods made. This is wrong in any
manufacturer, but absolutely wicked
where articles of food are cheapened by
adulteration, rendering them unhealthy
and dangerous. Manufacturers usually
in such instances try to avoid responsi
bility by omitting to put their name
upon them, using their name only upon
their pure and best goods. We there
fore, advise our readers to avoid all
manufactured articles of food or medi
cine that docs not hear upon the pack
age or bottle some responsible manu
facturer’s name. If the maker is afraid
to put his name upon it, rest assured it
is an adulterated article, dangerous aud
should be avoided.
RESOLUTIONS.
Upon the Death cf Mr. B. F. Spearman,
of Dawson, Ga., Passed by Few
Society, Oet, 4,1879.
Whereas, it has pleased Almighty
God, in the dispensation of His benefi
cent providence, to remove from the earth
the form of our friend and brother, B. F.
Spearman ; therefore) be it resolved
by the Few Society :
1. That the Few Society has suffered
greatly in the loss of one of her bright
est and most patriotic sons.
2. That Emory College has suffered
materially in the death of ouo who,
though connected with her but a shoit
time, had endeared himself, by his gen
ial disposition and habits of study, to
both students and professors.
3. That we deeply sympathize with
the bereaved family in the loss of so
noble and promiring a son.
. 4. That the hall and furniture be
draped iti mourning for the space of otic
month, and a page of the wiuute book
be devoted to his memory.
5. That a copy of these resolutions
be forwarded to the bereaved family,
and another be sent, for publication,
to the Dawson Journal.

A Remedy'
FOR
Mheuniatism.
Eight -or ton years ago when the
Editor of this paper was in tho drug
business and in the practice of medi
cine, at Bainbridge. Ga., ho discover
ed a remedy for Rheumatism in all
its forme, which he us and in his prac
tice until the demand became so groat
that he kept in stock in his drug store.
Since quitting that business he has
ceased to manufacture it or pay rmy
attention to it. Having, however,
occasional orders for it from his old
friends and patients, ho has made ar
rangements with Dr. J R JANES &
SON, of this place, to manufacture it
and supply the demand. Tho remedy
has been found to be veiy effectual
in cases of Rheumatism in all its forms’
but especially in Chronic Cases- Many
persons have ‘‘Rheumatic Pains”
which, though not very severe, are
persistent and annoying, making them
restless, preventing sleep, and, as
they express it, ‘‘worrying tho life out
of them.” In such cases the remedy
has been found very efficacious.
Dr. J.R. Janes & Son will supply
such orders as they may have for the
medicine at SI.OO per bottle. Address
