The rain from Montgomery arrives here at 12:50 and the one trom Macon at 2:10. RECOVERING. The negro who was shot near Albauy last week by Jailor Riley is improving rapidly,and the phy.i cian who is attending him thinks there is no deubt of his recovery, WHISKEK BY TELEPHONE, There is a novel project on foot. Frank Bethune tells the News that he will run a telephone line Letween this place a~d Cuthbert for the benefit of his customers in the latter town. DIED IN BRUNSWICK, News was received here a few days azo of the death of Mr, J. F. Nelson, once a merchant in Daws son. After removing from here Mr. Nelson was elected to the po sition of Mayor of Brunswick. AXOTHER BOARDING FOUSE. Captain Fulton hrs let the cons tract for the building of a large two-story boarding house on the corner of Fulton and Vine streets, The Captain is one of Dawson's most enterprising citizens. CAPTURED AFTER FOUR YEARS. Sheriff Thornton went up to Americus Thursday and captured Aleck Johnson, a negro who jump ed his bond here about tour years ago. The negro was charged with assault and battery and was tried in fhe county court Friday morning and fined $3O. A MORMON ELDER, ' One of those social scabs, a Mor~ mon Elder, was in Dawson last Friday morning. While here he had a check on a Salt Lake bank cashed. As we have betore res marked, all ot his stripe should be ordered to move on, and the order emphasized with a bit of tar and feathers. RETURNED FROM THE POTTERY. Alf Jackson, the yellow unegro boy who has been in so much devs ilment in Dawson, has returned from Steven's pottery after asix months’ enzagement. It will be remembered that Alf’s love for Major Mim’s pickles was the cause of his long detention from among us, SOLDIERS WANTED. Ir the post office s a sign from the United States recruiting de partment calling tor able-bodied recruits tor the Uuited States army, between the ages of 21 and 35. Strange to say, the following line occurs in the potice: “No col ored recruits wanted.” The pay of a private is 13 per year and teed, clothing, medicine, ete., free. The Southivestern Georgia Security Company. This company has received iis cherter and will organize the first of next month. It will bezin ope« erations with a capital stock of 825,000, with shares at 2100 each. Judge H. 8 Bell is now canvass ing for subseriptions to the capital stock, and we learn that he is meet ing with success, The company will negotiate loans at eight per cent. interest, which will be much cheaper rate for money than can now be had here. Besides the benefits in the way of cheap mons ey, it is thought that the coripany will be of value to the wown and to our general citizenship. It will enable people to borrow for build ing and improvement purpose, who would otherwise not be able to horrow or build. It will produce work for our tradesmen and labors ing men, and will thus put and keep money in circulation. i Oy o The Original Leader of Low Prices. Is M.

Some of the small boys are af ’flictod with mumps, but little they care, The average Dawson small boy wou’t down. : Hens are still laying egzps at twelve and a halt cents*per dozen—- as cheap as they can afford to do the work and furnish the material. There is little doubt that a peti tion from our business men to President Alexander would get a new depot for Duwson. Suppose we try it. : Lite is made up of small thin s, the smallest being the “thing” who runs in deht for . newspaper and then orders it stapped withour paying what he owes, It will be entirely proper for our county commissioners to ap point delegates to the Georgia read congress, and we hope they will doso at their meeting next week, Sormse encrgetic business man in Dawson should take the initiative step towards organizing a loan £nd building association, There sre big possihilities in such an organis zation. We wonld remark hy way of pas renthesis that that the tariff chargs ed by the insurance companies in Dawson is too high in comparison with other towns that are not half so well supplied with a good fire department. There has been a great deal raid about the new Baptist and Metho~ dist churches in Dawson, but very little is being dovne in that direc tion. The committees should be gin this work in earncst. Rev. L. B. Payne, of the Or phans’ Home, preacked at the Methodist Church last Sunday. The collection amounted to about §35, but that amount seemed to be too small to be appreciated. That Elocutionist. Last Thursday and Friday evens ings Prot. Mike Hindsman Norris, of the United States of America, appeared before siall but extreme ly enthusiastic audiences at the opera house in the role of an elo cutionist. He came tull of grace ‘and elocation, and it was suspected }th:\t he contained surplus elocu ‘tion even in the upper part of his bigh-silkbat. Thispoving moss of elocution and humor also came plumed in sky blue pants and a piebald swallow tail yellow and blue coat. r The first night the gross proceeds at the door amounted to nearly ‘ four dollars, and the second night to nearly three dollars. The Professor professed to be a finished elocutionist and character | delineator. He certainly finished his career in that line in Dawson, ’ His selections were intended to be humorous, principally, but the small audience failed to recognize any principal of humor in his ren )ditions. In nothing did he appear ‘as an elocutionist—that is, he was ‘not recognized as such. ~ In sober truth,he professed much more than he was able to perform, and the discriminating people of Dawson who were 20 unfortunate as ‘to comprise his audience will not endorse him as an elocutionist or anything else but a crank. i The Ladies’ Aid Society | Of the Presbyterian church met 'for permanent organization on | Monday evening at the residence {of Mr. M. G. Statham. The fols lowing officers were elect for six {mouth: Mrs, B B. MeNulty pres. {ident, Mrs. Lee Jenkins vice pres lident, Miss Nannie Stathan: secres | tary, Mrs, 8. T. Jordan treasurer.

A Subject that Should Interest Evary Citi zen of this County. One of the most important sub jects that should engage the atten tion of the people of Terrell county, and especially the next grand jury, is the building of a new court house, It is becoming a necessity, and if the matter does net receive the” careful consideration of our next grand jury, that body will not do its duty. There is no reason why a county as presperous, as wealthy and :\sl far advanced in intelligence as | Terrell should have for a fig,rurpl head such a structure as mars the i beauty of its county town, a.id re- l flects on its citizens. t We say reflects, for where esre lessness and utter unconcern for a county’s public buildinge is dis played it canuot fail to be inter preted as a want of pride and en terprise in its people. Terrell is to-day, perhaps, the most prosperous counuty in the state—her citizens, one and all, are living well and making money, ana it is high tim» they w.re awaking from their le:hargy.: There has heretofore been a eon tinuzal cry of “unable” and “‘wait a while,” but wow the time has come for that to cease. If Terrell county is not now able to bugin the erection of a $20,000 court house to~merrow morning, she never will be. If thereisa man in the ecoun. ty who ohjects to the building of a court house for the reasons above mentioned, he is simply not enter~ prising enough to spend a few dol lars to promote the iaterests and upbuilding of his county, and is too stingy to submit to a small increase in taxation that he would never feel and that would eventually benefit him. So long as we continue in the “old fogy” style, just so long will our position abroad be in conformi ty therewith. It we will wake up, meet the demands of progress and display that enterprise without which no community can be successful, we will soon command the attention of strangers, homesseekers, and capis talists, and rich and poor al'ke will derive benefits, Now, lets have a new court house. If the county tressury cannot furnish the means, let bonds be issued and a slight increase iu taxes be made sufficient to meot the bonds and do the work. The most enterprising of our citizens are already ripe for it— they want It, they talk about it, and if Terrell county hasn’t a new court house by the first of next January a large number of her people will be sadly disappointed.

We refer to the social entertainment gotten up by Misses Mollie Ragan, Nettie Marshall and Mr. R, L. Barnes, at the Barnes Housa. The cccusion was largely attends ed by the young folks.

Various amusements were ivdulged in, and music was furnished by sevs eral of our accomplished tair ones until eleven o’clock, when all were invited to the dining nall, where res freshinents were served. The good tady, Mrs. Barnes, left nothing unidone that would add' to the pleasure of the occasion.
