Cane erop short. Very little sickness, Time to sow small grain. Cotton is nearly all open. The tail end of summer is a long one. The JourNAL continues to grow in public favor, Ol d P Flewellen, of Cuth- Dbert, was in the city last Thursday. Col. J. H. Guerry will begin rebuilding his residence in a day or two, A little decline in the cotton market gives the farmer a despon dent look. Recently, real estate has been very active in our midst, especial ly when the wind blew. Education is the lever that moves the world—and there is a lever or two right in Dawson. The sociable at Hon. O. B. Stevens last Friday evening is re ported as a most enjoyable ocea sion. ; Mr. F. S. Lee, with his family, has moved to Coffee county, where he will engage in the lumber busi ness. A little “bird” tells us that a young merchant will take unto himself a “rib” by the time a few frosts falls. . We are always busy, but walk right in and demand that we stop long enough to give you a receip for the amount you owe the Jour- NAL., . It is getting time for the chick en “raiser” to begin making his rounds. He always meets bis ap pointments with punctuality. Watch for him. Those of our merchants who advertise regularly are the men who sell the goods. If your don’t believe it, wateh the stores and see for yourselves. Dont wait to sow oats; and dout fail to give them a heavy conting of cotton seed. A good crop of oats will be sadly needed in this country another vear. The JOURNAL is in possession of a society secret. It knows of a handsome couple residing in this city who will shortly embark upon the alluring sea of matrimony. Bronwood and vieinity furnishes a list of subseribers to the Jour- NAL of which we feel proud. For promptitude of settling their sub seriptions they eannot be surpass ed. “How shall we get the young men to church?” is the title of an article in one of our religious ex changes. Get the girls to go, sainted brother, get the girls to go. The best time to sow oats is just after a good season of rain falls. Every farmer should be careful to use none but the very best of seed. N. L. Ragan, of Albany has them. From some ecause, we failed to get our Atlanta Constitution last Sunday. 1f it happens any more we will feel like going up there and treating their mailing clerk to a dose of “shooting-stick.” The Dawson JourNAL is neat and newsy, and is one of the best weekly papers that visit our sanc tum. The people of Terrell county should be prcud of their home paper.—Waynesboro True Citi zZen. A certain young man, of this city, always takes along a sack of peanuts when he calls on his girl. We will wateh his progress with much interest, and, if he succeeds, a peck of them can find ready sale at this office once a week. Our subsecribers and patrons who have not paid up will please remember that only the tail end of October is left, and it is rapid 1y switching out of sight. Dont be bashful; walk right in and make us give you a receipt at all hazards. The Cuthbert Enterprise has this to say of us. Compliments coming from such sources always “lo us proud:” “The Dawson JounvaL of last week was an un usually sprightly issue; always readable, it was better taan ever last week.” An exchange says that “cucum ber green is the new shade for ties.” Yes, the man who is tied up in a knot from the green cucumbers he has eaten, will have the intense satisfaction of know ing he isin style. Experience has impressed us with this truth, ~ THREE DAYS AND NIGHTS. A Citizen is Attacrked with-Vertigo While in the Wooads—ls Found in . an Insensible Condition, Tuesday morning of last week, Mr. Ben Laney, who resides about ten miles from town, went to Kinchafoonee creek, near his house, to feed his hogs. He did not return up to twelve o’clock but his family paid little attention to it, thinking that he had busi ness -that delayed him. When night came, however, and he still did notreturn, they Lecame alarm ed and suspected that he had been murdered, or some terrible acei dent had happened to him as he had never before stayed awny without mnotifying his family. The next morning the whole com munity was notified of the fact and much exeitement prevailed, Search was immediately instituted and not until after the third day and night did any signs of him be seen, when they found his hat and corn sack, and the ground around looked as though there had been considerable scuffling. This only increased the -belief that Mr. Laney had been foully dealt with, and the searchiers became more diligent and several hours after wards they found hLim several miles from home in the woods, in an insensible condition. He was taken home where he immediate ly received medical attention and will, in a few days, be out again. It seems that while on the creek he was seized with vertigo and wandered farther from home. He was gone three days and nights. Ouly a Rumor. ‘We learn that the old Columbus, Cuthbert and Bainbridge railroad is soon to be built. How true this report iz we are unable to say, but give it to our readers for what it is worth. It is well enough for the citizens of Dawson and Terrell county to wake up to this railroad movement for if that line was to be built it"'would be the greatest drawback that could happen to Dawson. Gentlemen, look out for your interests.—Macon. Tele graph. Yes, the road will probably be built-—on paper,as all the railroads in Georgia are now constructed. We have conversed with some of our most prominent citizens in regard to it and they are of the opinion that the road will never be built. Gentlemen, sharpen your pencils and proceed forthwith to complete this project in the usual mauner. The Foar Brothers, Sunday last four brothers, whose combined ages ageregute 290 years, dined together in this county. They were Mr. M. D. Hay fnd his three brothers, aged respectively 71, 73, 75 and 77 years. They all met at Mr. M D. Hay's residence, where an ele gant dinuer was prepared in honor of the occasion. They are all houored citizens and the JOURNAL wishes them many more years of prosperity. There is at this time a fair de mand for oats, and thisfact should stimulate our farmers to sow a larger crop than last year. The net profit in the production of oats is, unquestionable, greater by far than any crop grown in the South. Oats are selling, now, for 60cts. per bushel, while corn can be bought for 75cts. per bushel, and, yet, oats can be produced for one half the cost. As for cotton, it requires no argument to con vinece anybody that oats are more profitable than this crop. Let every body, therefore, plant with a view of having oats to sell anoth er season. , We have always heard that gophers were a very delicate table [nzury and that in some sections they were eaten with a great deal of avidity. But never until recent ly have we ever heard of such a thing as courthouse litigation over them. A gentleman tells us that when the railroad was being built through Taylor county, this State, a good many years ago, that a farmer, through whose planta tion the road ran, had to file a bill of injunction against the company to prevent the hands from eating his gophers. Fact, all of it. The season for sowing small grain is at hand. ~ An increased acreage devoted to oats this fall is of more importance than any other business in sight, including the whooping up of candidates for offite or picking of eotton; a large [out crop means forage in the win litex and entire independence of the corn districts in the west. Sow loflts, gentlewen, but not wild Ones, ! Things in Cuaba, [ Friday night last a negro wo. man visited Dawsoit and seooped: in many of the hard earned dimes of Dr. ‘Haygoo?s “brothers in black.”- She sclaimed to be just from Cuba, and came here to deliver a lecture to her color about that country. The lecture was given at the negro Baptist church to rather a small audience., It Wwas a very poor thi& indeed, she being very ignoram and unlearn ed, and, further more, an imposi-} tion, having never been to Cuba } ‘and probably never was ouf of the | I iR e : .. 1M piny woods of Georgia. Being interrogated as to the customs an habits of the people’ in: Cuba, she stated that her colorwas in | bondage and received very “cruel | treatment. They are frequentl_v] bartered and bring very high | prices—especially - fine loolgingt ones. At this point Mr. D. Cr‘.' Trammell, our worthy wmsrshal, | approached the crowd and, point-| ing at him, she said: “sucha look- ‘ ing one as he is would bring | $2,000.” l i 4 Asnmsfifin'bms"_zex};. Mgssrs. EpiTons: —Ag the: time is near at hand for the election of mayor and aldermen and, as there is more than one aspirant for the office of mayor, and many good citizens who will serve as alder men, would it not be advisable for the citizens of the whole city, both white and colored, to meet at the court house the second Monday night in Noyember and nominate a ticket for mayor and aldermen by ballot; this manner of proceed ing would lessen strife and be greatly to the henefit and good of the city. Heretofore these officers have been put out by only a few, and have never given general satis faction to the ecitizens. Now, Messrs. Editors, let the people of the city meet and select good men who will do their whole duty re gardless of croakers. At the same time they might give an expres sion as to who they desire for marshal. Crrizess. Hymeneal. On last Tuesday Mr. Jacob Da vis was united in matrimony to Miss Annie Dawson; all of this county. On Wednesday of last week Mr. Dan Hall of Lee ¢ unty, was mar ried to Miss Ella Odum, of Baker county. Mrs. Hall is a sister of Mrs. J. M. Simmons, of our town, and has many friends here. To both couples the Jovryawn tanders congratulations and wishes them unbounded happiness in their new relations. Our merchants are beginning to complain of bad collections. We hope this thing wont last long for of all else, a man’s credit should be rigidly protected. When a man once loses his credit, or ac quires a reputation for being “slow” he is getting in a bad way, sure. It isalways found better to borrew money and pay a good high rate per cent. rather than to disregard and neglect the pay ment of a debt when it becomes due. The JouNaL desires to return thanks to its many {riends and patrons for the liber al and cordial support which they have given it during the past vear. Itis conscious of having committed errors, but in these its friends have been charitable, and in the future it will hope to pursue such a course of policy and rectitude as to avoid all the mistakes it may have committed in th 2 past. A good man said to us the oth er day that the trouble with the farmers in this country is that they dont work as many days in the year as they ought to. He said that if they would stick to their work day after day, like the merchant, and other tradesmen, they would soon get rich. The JoURNAL simply desires to add that the above affords food for re flection, and we hope that it may set our farmers to thinking The family of Rev. P. 8. Twitty returned to Dawson last week after an absence of about two months in Cuthbert. We regret to learn that there is still sickness in his family. One of his child ren now has typhoid fever, mak ing the third case of this fever in his family this summer. For three months this summer there was not a week but what some of his family had fever.
