Baldwin, R, L. Melton, J. R. Mercer, O. B. Stevens, W. (. Dil lon and others, In conversation with Mr. Mer cer, who is an enthusiastic backer of the enterprize, and, by the way, who is enthusiastic over anything that is likely to be of benefit to Terrell county and Dawson, as has been shown by his readiness to lil erally assist in every enterprise that is set on foot in our midst, the NEws man learned something of what the company intends to do. “In the first place,” said Mr. Mercer, ““we propose to reduce the rates on money and by enlarging the scope of our business he able | to make as much lending n oney at | 8 per cent. as wenow do at 12'per cent. We will also make invest ments in real estate and will assist in increasing the value of property and building up the town. W hat the Americus company has done for that town we hope to do for Dawson. We all have great confi dence in Dawson's tature, and think it will, some day, be the leading city of Southwest Geor~ gin.” | “Will the company be of benefit ‘ to tke farmers ?” | “Yes. We think by letting the farmors have money at a low rate | of interest we will promote their prosperity and the prosperity of the county, and consequently the prosperity of the country, l “When will the orgaunization get urder headway ?” | *“We hope to organize and elect | officers early next month.” | The NEws thinks that the coms pany will be one of the most ir- i portant factors in the upbuilding of our town, ‘ - The City in Brief. !

Said a lady who takes great pride in her flower garden to the reporter a few days ago: “I doubt if any town in Georgia contains a tee variety of rnses\MmMfiéé%&?ful flowess than are now sweetening the atmosphere of Dawson.” Mr. W. E. Riordau has already had three or four applications to rent the new store he is erecting on Main street. Dr. C.

A number of young ladies and gentlemen ot Dawson joined the Shellman Sunday Schools in a pie nic at Cordray’s last Friday.

The prisoner took his sentence stolidly, but created somewhat of a sensas tion on the day following by taking a large dose of morphine, but not enouch to have any dangerous effect. | The ice cream festival by the las dies of the Presbyterian cf\umh on last evening was a suceess finaneis ally and otherwise.

Melton, , A OLOSE CALL. l Stenographer Bussey's harrow EScaps-- - Another Train Fired !nto Near Dawson. The Cuthbert Liberal gives the following aceount of Stenographer J. B. Bussey’s narrow escape from. death on the cannon ball near Dawson. The editor of the Liberal was a passenger on the train at the time and wassitting near Mr. Bussey : “J. B. Bussey, Esq., was within J two inches of death at two o’clock | Sunday morning. The place was one and a half miles beyond Daw son on board the west bound cans non ball train. The train was run- | ning at the rate of thirty miles perl hour. Mr. Bussey lay with hemlf against a window, his feet toward | the aisle, on the south side of thel coach. Suddenly, barg, bang, bang, went several vistol shots on the north side of the road. The | editor of the Liberal was sitting | two seats in advance of Mr, Buss | sey on the opposite side of the. coneh, . About twenty fect from the road bed we saw the flashes of | the pistol or pistols in- very quick | succession. Mr. Bussey sprang up | suddenly, rubbing his ear. In 8| moment conductor Hall ran into the coach from the baggage car| where he had seen the shots fired | and kuew the firing was towards | the train. A look through Lhe! coach revealed the fact that one of | the balls (38 calibre) had passedj through the sash opposite where | Mr. Bussey sat and had huried it~ | seif in the sesh agaivst which his | head was lying, passing through ! the brass plate by which the snsh' is raised. It had come in such close contact with the ear as to! burn it considerably. Had his' head been lying two inches further | i , | to the gight he would have been | instantly killed. There were eight | or ten passengers aboard, and had | the coach been crowded some one would most certainly have been killed. . One ball had entered the bageage car near where conductor | Hall was standing. Iluis was the second .ime within a week that a train had been fired into in the | neighborhood of Dawson. We| learn that in the inmediate ncigll-;l borhood of where the shooting oc- | curred Sunday morning there is a | house of ill tame that is frequents | ed, especially on Baturday nights, | by erowds of drunken roughs. We doubt uou that some clue might be | had to the shooting by an arrest of | the women who occupy this house. | Thuey could be made to disclose the : names of those who were at thel house ‘at that late hour. It be hooves the Terrell courty authoris | ties to use all dilligence to bringl these wretches to justice. The railrond authorities should offer a | large reward for them. i The Horse is a Toper. Col. Tom Black, representa tive of 8. I'. Coleman & Co., lives in this city. He has been doctoring his bug gy horse for pneumoaia, the treat ment being a nuxture of whisky aud cther things in which the whis ky predominates. The horse has grown go passion: ately fond of the dose that he gets intoxicate] and wheo “‘dry” sende up a_hearteending. neigh for. his “pizen.” The horse is now on a protracts ed spree and Col. Tom has to walk. Another Stock Farm. ; Capt. W. B. Oxford, one of Terrell’s most substantial aud sue cessful farmers, intends planting a portion of his farm in Bermuda grass and raise fine Georgia mules, Our people are awakening to the inducements held out to them in this line of business, «nd soon Ter vell will be recoguized as one ot the leading stock raising counties of the State. : Shooting at Night. { On last Friday night, l)etwoen! the hours of eleven and twelve | o'clock, some miscreant fired five | pistol ghots on Main street in front of the Arlington Hogel. There is a string*t law in the city against shooting, and if the parties are apprehended ‘they \\"il}{ be made to suffer. 1 That Spelling Bee. l The NEws is requested to state that there will be a spelling bee at | the armory on Friday night week | under the auspices ot the ladies of ’ the Methodist church.

Ben Terrell, lecturer of the Farmers National Alliance, de livered an address in Dawson on last Monday according ‘to uppoint\‘ -ment, ~ Mr. Terrell is & plain but foreis ble speaker and all who heard him were impressed with his earnests ness, H'e is well informed on all subjects connected with the order which he represents, and gave the | farmers good and sound advice, | He was introduced to the audi- | ence by Wm. Martin, His address was simply to show the objects and aims of the Alli ance and that its success could not' possibly harm people in other avocations, He argued from the standpnintl that the farmers of the country produced the wealth, and it the wealth is incrensed then as a naturs al consequence there will be more general {msinoss dsne, 8o every business would be benefitted in proportion.” For instanee, if the farmer can get a better price for his produce, the money would be put in circulation, proving a bene fit to all classes, Now, if by stand ing together aund tradicg for cash, thus getting rid of credit, the vast ! difference hetween cash and credit would remain with the farmer to spend again with the merchant. He said that the farmers are in a most deplorable condition and the Alliance propose to benefit them socially, financially, mentally and in every other way. Mr. Terrell clcsed hisaddress by urgirg the farmers to take stock in ! the exchange, and thereby ass'at each other, [ What Is 1t ? For several days our citizens, more especially the colored poople, have been considerably awed by the appearance of a panther, or bear, or more properly speaking a “what is it,” that has been rosming our streets. The negroes have told some most blood curdling stories about it. From what we can learn from reliable sources itseems to be a panther. It is reported to he about two and a half teet in height and three feet in length and preys up on the dogs of the eity. It has been shot at several times bt nev< er hit, numerons dogs have been found dead and terribly mangled, while numbers of them can be seen on the streets with signs presama= bly received in ecombat with the stravge animal. i A few, nights age the +*“varmit? chased a lot of dogs in the vicinity of the depet, one of them taking refuge in a hotel carriage. Possibly it will arouse a- desire on the .part of the young boys to seek their pillows at a n.ore season able hour. s Emory is Silent. As yet the secretary of the Al pha society of the South Georgia College has received no repiy tofile invitation .“f:"t Judge Emory Speer to deliver the annual ldd’l'esa at commencement exercises i Jume, The invitation was sewt seve-al weeks ago, and Emory has re mained distressiigly silent. Possibly his Honor considers the matter oo insignificant for his at= tention, An invitation has been sent to Hon. Bob Berner, of Forsyth, to address the society and doubtless he will accept. LT e Dawson Dirt. A wealthy citizen of Americus was in Dawson last week seeking investments in reel estate. He has the cash, but has not yet been able to find any Dawson real estate ou the market, While speaking of this matter to a prominent warehouseman he said: “Just wait until the Colum bug Southernand F.
