What Dawson Has Done and Will Do-- Officers Appointed. The Building and Loan Associas tion has been organized and will be ready to negotiate loans ia a few days. Here arve the officers: L. A. Lowrey, president. H S. Bell, secretary and treas urer. Hoyl & Parks, attorneys. A. J. Boldwin, W. C. Paschal and O, B. Stevens, appraisers. Wm. Kaigler, Jocal agent. The NEws expects great results to follow this organization. We have seen its fruits in other towns and will see them in Dawsoo. We want to see Dawson double her population in the next few vears, and we believe nothing else will aid so much in reaching thia desired end as the building and oan assoeiati on, No small eity in the south is moving to the front so surely and rapidly as Dawson. The good work is just zow getting fairly un der headway Within the past twelve months Dawson has built more residences and inaugurated more enterprises than any city in Southwest Georgia. There is nothing superflucus about her ad vanceament. Her growth has been steady and healthy and her trade has imcreased proportionately. Dawson wil! makea better showing the next twelve months than she has made the past year. Keep your eye on Dawson' «“All spirits produced by Distill ers who use other materitls than Apples, Peaches or Grapes, Musr be eutered in Distillery Warzhouse and be stamped with warehouse 'stamp, (this makes first stamp on barrel) and when withdrawn trom ’Dislillery Warehouse an payment of tax, the tax paid stamp (which ’ifl the secopd stamp on and is the Jlargest) must be affixed.” ~ The above ig the lawfi%dk— i tilled gonds and goods not distilled ‘do nat come under this requirement ibnt are forcer stamped witl one stamp o 0 e % 4 . BetRUNE DAWSON AS SEEN FROM THE CARS. The News Man Takes a Trip and Views the City Frem a Moving Tran--Ex pressions of Passengers, Etc. Having business in Bronwood last week a NEws reporter skirme ished around among his old clothes, scared up his pass and boarded the east bound passenger. On our return we were forcibly struck by the progressive appear ance of ‘our city as seen {rom the moving cars, as well as by the ex~ pressions of passengers about bcom ing Dawson. Just as the train crosses the up per culvert the city begins to loom up in all its loveliness. In every direction can be scen scores of nest new residences just completed or ’ heing erected, and hundreds upon hundreds of others that have lost their new appeararce, but all noti ‘ceably inhabited by a thrifty and progressive people, : ~ Standiug on the rear platform } of the car and watching these hous esas they flit by, reaching as they do for overa mile up and down the road and as far as the eye ean zeach on either side, ore begins to realize that he is passing through a very populous suburb of a very progressive city. Passing the buildings of the Dawson Manufacturing Company and the Dawson Oil Co., a stran ger is surprised at their vastness, and expects a city of ten or fiftcen thousand peogle to burst in view, and to roll into a handsome depot and be turned over to the mercies of ahowling mob of porters. But the train stops. he looks out, he sees a dilapidated old building which some one informs him is the bona fide depot and he faints—a vietim of unjustifiable cruelty for which the ceniral railvoad is re. sponsihle, While seated in the cars the ro porter heard such expressions as these concerning Dawson : “This is the coming town of Southwest Georgia.” “I sell more gonods to hetter mers chants here than any town in the state.” “I've been coming here for ten years and this town has made more progress in the last two years than any town I know of.” “Look at the rumber of new buildings going up in this town.” “Look at that depot!” It is an actual fact that these res marks were made by passengers on the train and made a note of by us. The last remark was made by a prominent doctor of a neighboring city. From the depot (?) to the city can be seen a perfect marvel of building throughout the town. Counting as far as we could see the houses that have just been built or in course of erection numbered over half a hundred. In tact we noticed an air of improvement about almost evervthing we saw. Noone could fail to notice the signs of progress on every hand. The town presents a charming appearance with her broad streets, beautiful homes and splendid busis ness houses, and above all her air of progress, refinement and culture puts her in the first rank with the rising towns ot Georzia. Little Locals. Picnies and basket dinners are all the rage. : Lawyers aund evil-doers are gets ting ready for court. z The song of the saw.and ham-. mer is heard 1n the land. | There is considerable. wealth among the farmers ot Terrell coun ty, and they made it by following the plow and practicinz economy, | The delegates to the Missionary | Convention said some mighty nice things about Dawson, Sheriff Thornton is disconsolate because the jail is without an occu paut. | Tracks of a very large bear l have been seen on Mr. Peter Davis’ farm in the Pleasant Hill settle ment. | Jailor J. €. Riley and family have moved to the country. Sheriff | Thornton will look after the inill hereatter himself. % | Bronwood sent a del(*gmi«m ‘ down to attend the Misgtonary | services Sunday. X RRBRRC 11, Resolution of Thanks. Resclved, that the heartfelt thanks of the Woman’s District, Missionary Conterence be tende r+ | ed to the kind people ot Dawson for their cLristian courtesy and their liberal, bospitable entertaius~ ment; and to their genial, chris~§ tian pastor we find it difficult tul express our love and gratitude. We commend him and Lis good‘ people to our Father in Heaven, who is rich in blessing and tender mercies. To the choir we return sincere thanks for excellent musie, which added so much to the inter- | est of our exercises, also to the railroad authorities for their cours tesies to the delegates. : Mgs, WaArpLAW, “ McWiLLiams, ‘. GEISE, ¢ - HOWELL; Committee. R A Hanging in Lee. The session ot Lee court last . week was well attended, and there - were several important cases dispos. ~edof. There were three murder " cases tried. Jobn Pickett,who was charged with an atrocious murder, was found guilty and sentenced to "be hung on June 14th, ' i CHARTER TO BE APPLIED FOR. | A New Roud to Reach Dawson with a ‘ Branch Line. Dawson is looming up as the ! coming railroad center. | Major B. H. Hood, Dawson’s representative on the board of di ’rectors, has a letter from Houn. G. | Guoby Jordan stating that the Co- Jumbus Southern would most ass hurodly be completed av cnce. The Nrws publishes to.day a no~ ‘tice that application for a chars ter for the Alabama, Georpia and Florida railrcad will be made, the road to run into Florida from Co lumbus via Cuthbert and Bain-« bridge. As will be further seen in the notice, so important is con aection with. Dawson they propose ‘to run a branch road from some point on the main line this city, thereby making Dawson the termi nus of an important line of rail wiy. Dawson is surely getting there. The City's Improvements. | Capt Jno. A. Fulton’s magnifs | icent twosstory boarding house, on Vine street, is nearing completion. It looks like a hotel. Mr. W. E. Riordan’s stote on Muain street is rapidly going up. Shenff Tobe Thornton will build a handsome residemce on Johnson street. Mr. S. A. Loyless intends to soon crect a neat dwellingon Johns son street. Work on Mercer’s inmense wag on repository, corner ot Johnson and Muain streets, has begun, and will soon be ready for occupancy. Work on the new National bauk building will be commenced next month A member of one of Dawsen’s most prosperous young buasiness firms tells the NEws that they will soon erect a handsome store house with irou and glass front. Mr. J. W. Turner is receiving lomber for rebuilding his residence on College street. It will be one of the finest iu the city when complet ed. We understand that the Eaton property on Lec street will soon be the site ot a handsome two-story buisness house. Three of Mr. J. R. Mercer's neat residence in the eastern part of the city have been completed. Three others will now go up raps idly. Capt. Wm Kaigler, agent for the building and loan association, in« forms ug that as soon as the coms J pany gets ready for business twen- i ty or more neat residences will lm; evected in the city. He says also that there is strong probability nt" several buisness louses being built. I —_— P > Rats! Rats! Mr. E. T. Kenney, one of our prosperous tarmers, told the NEws man a ‘‘ratty” story last Thurs day. Wishing to plant some ground peas he went to his smoke house for three and a half bushels which had been stored away, but found then. gone He then turned to a box in which had been put one and a half' bushels, but they too were missing. Mr. Kenney naturally supposed some one had laid in a good sup~ ply of peanuts at his expense, Just before leaving the smoke house it occurred to Mr. Kenney too look after his hams, He did so and was amazed to find three ham hones hanging where once had hung three juicy hams. He exclaimed, ¢ ‘Rats!” and be took himselr to the house for reins forcements. Tliey returned, tore up the floor of the smokehouse and killed one hundred und ninety eight rats by actual count, Is Marriage a Failure? 1t seems so. 2 We dont mean that we have any personal reason for thinking so, for this conclusion is reached E from ohservation. The calendar for the May term of our saperior court shows twen | ty-three suits for divorce, ; Just think of it! Thirty-six males and females beseeching to be put assunder, ' Undoubtedly marriage is a fail urel . i He Kath Cheek. . The News bas been informed ‘that there is a negro applicant for ‘the postmastership at this place. W hether this is true or not we |cannot say, but it is siid that “Deputy President™ Buck is in fre quent communication with a chocs olate colored citizeu of this place. A negro postmaster would be a disagieeable novelty, and one to which the people of Dawson would hardly submit. 1 Ordinary’s Court. | At the May term of the Court of Ordinary letters of administration were issued H.

[ THE MISSIONERY CONVENTION. | o . An Enjoyable and Instructive Session-« Meet at Georgetown Next Year. The laties' district conference was a very pleasant and profitable meeting. There were about thirty delegates and several visitors in attendance. The busivess sessions were presided over by Mrs. J. F. Kiddeo, of Cuthbert, in an easy, grace‘ul, modest, effective manner, and Mrs, J. O. Branch, ot Americus, made a good seeretary. The devotional meetings were well attended and very interesting. Some very fine papers were presented bearing on their work, and we think we could not be accused of manifesting spe cial honor, pride, nor of invidious’ distinetion, when we say that the article on China,prepared and read by Miss Belle Cheatham, ot Daws son, wuas a masterpiece of instrue tion, information and of exhorta tion to duty. The sermon by Rev. D. F. Riley on Sunday was especially fine and well reseived. The love teast Sun day afternoon was after the old time methodist order, and was greatly enjoyed by all preseut, The juvenile entertainment on Sunday night reflected great credit on Miss Mary Pilsbury, the mana ger, and on all the children who participated. All who attended seemed pleased with their visit to Dawson, and Dawson is glad to have had them. Their meeting next year will be at Georgetown. The City in Brief.
