Terreli is a more prosperous county than Dooly, and yet we seem to be sat ixfied with a disgraceful bull for o court liouse, It appears to us in common with -ather ordinary people that there is entirely too much latitude allowed attorveys iu the Superior Courts of Gieorgin.Parties tosuit and witnesses s#hould be made to accommodate :the court “nd the court should in no cuse conform itsclf to the ‘wvishies ol litigants and attorneys. Tur. Washington corvespondent of the Atlanta Constitution reports that Senator Colquitt has been quite active in trying toseeure the appointment of certain republicans to office. Senat)r Colquitt should .remember that he was elected us a «lemucrat, that the powers that be are republicans and that it is in coneistent for him to assist a repub Jdlean in secu:ing office. Something Inieresting. I Capt. W.-C. Dillou has, for five years, kept a weather disry on the 1 walls of Bussey’s store. He would cavefully note the state of tlxe! weather, vegetation, ctc), on the| 235th of March of each year. Atl our request he has furnished us| with a copy of his obeervations nsi followes : 1885, —Trees have just begun to! bud—only a few bave begun. l <+ 1888.—Very few trees have lm-l gun to bud,and ou some of them the | buds have not swollen. Vegetation ! Jbackward. ’ 1888.—Trees are all budding| -micely. Some have snall leaves. | *The scason is zbout filteen days | ahead. of 1885 and .twcnt)uf'n'(.-x -days aliead of 1586, t 1888, —T'rees have il budde;l'i out finely. The reason is about ‘five days shead of 1837 This has| been a very singular winter and | _spring. The winter wus mild upto Tebruavy, and on the last of Feb. ‘yuary irdicated that spring wouhl' bLe ten days earlier than that of 1887, 'l'here has been more cold since the 15ih ot February than during the entire winter before that t¢ine. Onthe nights of March 224, and 23d, there were about the bigs gest freezce of the winter, and veg~ £tation was set back covsiderably. 1889.—This has been a beautis ful winter. It bas been cold reg ularly, but not severely so. There was a snow on the night of Febru sary 20th. At this time the indica. gionw ' ure that epring has set in. The trecg ave all budding vicely g wegularly, Peach trces are @it in {ull bloom. There waz scarces lt! a peach bluom to be seen in ‘ebiruary, something remarkable in this® rection. The sengon is nbout teh deys bebiud 1887, apd Aive duysubead f 1888, If you want the best whip for £1 “that wae tyer eracked; exll on if. L. C. Darham Terreil to Be Represented. The NEws has reasou to believe that at the next mecting of the county commissisners delegates will be appeinted to represent Terrell in the road congress to meet in At~ lanta in May. Good roads are good investments. At aconvention of the tarmers o! Long Island, I.eld in the Jamaica town ball last week, Ex-Governor P. C. McCormick read a paper upon the value of good roids which contzained the followina stron.s and suggestivesentence: If you want to know where learning, society aud religion are stagnant yoa have ouly to lock at the roads We are vot savages, but we are behind -up~ on this question.”” If those words could be truthfully applied to pop ulous Long Island by one ot its cit~ izen, with how much more force could they be employed in many other parts of the country, Itis the boast of the more pop-~ ulous counties of Kentucky that their ronds are the best in the country,and this boagtis justifiable; for thanks to the wizdomand zeal oi the late Rev. Dr Bieckenridgze there are no better dirt highways to be found in avy argicultural diztrict. W hat ismore, the people whom he induced to build thvml found that money spent in putting | their highwaye in good condition ; ‘ and in keeping them up to the ! steudard, was proitably invested. | It increased the value of their real eetute and it mude a decided saving in the current anuual expeuses of 1 ell who frequently used them. The ! wear and tear of bad roads on an -5' imals, vehicles and harness is no | inconcidereble addition to the ex~ pense to farmersard to ali who | have much cartingto do. But it i‘ i 8 not these Wlonewho are the los {ers. Thereisno town or village "whose werchants depend largely { upon the outlying country for | their trade, that does not suffer i from long pericds of dullues because of the condition of the highways. Were it possible to tabs ulate the losses of the country during a single year {rom this one cause, the aggregate would fecot up i astounding fizures, It would pay every Southern com | munity, both in town and in coun | try, to Bce to it that all their thor oughfares are put and kept in geod condition. There is money in lit, but there is waoste in its neg i lect. Envforce the Senitary Laws. If the city council does nothing else during the prccent year but carry out the sanitary lavs of the city, the people will have ample reasou for saying, “well done, good and faithtul servants.” The health of a place is of prime importance, Pluck, energy, enter prise, capital, opportunity and every other advantage that a town ‘ may have, are discounted it the people caanot have good health. The first cnquiry a new comer makes concerning a place is: “Is it bealthy?” As a buse and a bes ginning for all successful effort, a people must have pood health. It it is kept clean, Dawson eans not be unhenlthy. Thereisno cause for unhealthfulness unless it is made g 0 by the carelessness of the people. With good drainage and proper atfeation to cleanliness there s norescon why our tuwn should not be ne healtliy as the av erage town of Georgia. The town is well draived now and with proper attention to the ditches after every bard rain, there wi'l be no stagnant water, and this cause ot unhealthfulpess will be provided agsinst. Upon the other cause— filth—the Loard of Lealth should wage war, Let every man see that his premises are kept clean, and Daw ‘son will show a elean bili of health, Real Estote Active, Reul estate is active 1 Dawson, But there is a marked absence of anything like excitement. A city does not stand still, It goes either forward or backward. There is certainlyno reason to be lieve that Duwson will retrograce. Heunce it must inerease wm impor tance. The probable rapidity of growth can best be judged by the past. In ten years Dawson hgs alimost doubled its population, doubled its banking capital, doub lea its trade and will soon double its transportation facilities; and in cach of the ten years the growth bas been greater than during the preceding year, By the close of another decade Daweon will -again have doublcd it« population snd trade, . THE REPORTGRIAL RAMBLER. He Collects Several Interesting iems and Makes One or Two Suggestions. “How much lead do you suppose has been used by the painters in Dawson since the first of January?” asked a prominent drug man of tre News reporter. The reporter not knowing what reply to make,asked for information, with the tollowing result: “The amount used has been ¥imply enormous for a town of this size. My own sales to date have been over three tons, and with three other dealers to buy from, I feel safe in saying that there heve been at least something over six tons used in all. This does not inclnde what is used by the Dawson Variety Works, they buyingz direct from tae manufac. turers.” “How does this compare "with 'B7 and '88%" was asked. “The quantity ot lead sold the past three monthe vill amount to more than the entire sales of cither year, and the greater portion of this lead has gone on new struc tures.” The above statement, be youd a doubt, shows our city to be on a boom in the building live. There is a movement on foot to revive the delighttul custom of all tue Sunday scheols ot the city unit iagic & grand May-Day celebra tion. The idea is a good one and should be carried into execution. For the last few years each school has been going off by itself and trying to have a celebration. Sev eral years ago it waethe avnual custom for all the schools to unite, form a procession and march to the pirk where pleasant exercises of sivging and speaking were held until 1 o’clock, when dinner was announced and all would revel in a eplendid repast, and atter dinner the chiidren would engage in a vas riely of games. Let the custom be renewed this year gimilar to the old plin. Let all the schools unite. Let some programme be mapped out. And again have afine old-time M y-Day celebration, There is a great moving of the Holy Spirit. in Macon, and many arve striving to redeem the fallen and bring them into the fold. A party of ladies, of age and lofty motives, have concluded to make an earnest effort to save the women who have abandoned the paths of virtue to follow-a life of shame and evil. For several days vi<its have been made by these relizious ladics to the houses of ill repute, and ‘have met with considerable encour egement. Several of the women were deeply penitent and said they had been driven to their wicked life by poverty. One well known character said she had long been ‘anxious to lead a better life, but ‘nothing but starvation stared her lin the face it she left her prescnt life. She said if a situation somes where was guaranteed her, she would accept it. An effort will be made in her Lehalf. The 26th of April will soon be here, and the ladies of the Menio rial Society will doubtless begin in time to tee that all the ceremonies of the day are carried out. There ought to be a green spot in every one’s memory for those who bat. tled and fell in the “lost cause,” and that one day should be eares fully observed in keeping aliie those terder recollections, A speciul from Cuthbert to the Constitution goes for a few of the citizens of that town who had their biographies published in a book, and it wag quite an amugement to the other citizens, Weil, there are & number of the innocents in Daweon who taok biographics in *theirn.” and 1t was a bitter pill for some of them. Wheu the books were delivered and 15 de manded, pride took a big tumble. Erglyu’s C;r;d. Dawson, Ga.. Jan. 22, 1889.
