{Assaciution of New York, whieh
has organized a sub association in
Dawson, is now ready for busis
}ness. The treasurer, Mr. 1. S.
Bell, having forwarded to New
’ York his bond duly executed, and
the bond having been aceeptad, the
organization s complete. Many
people,both in the city and contigu
ous thareto, will avail themselves
of this proffered assistance to se~
cure lor themeelves homes ot their
own, aud while this assuciation
may not, mathemaiically considered,
turnish money chesper than can be
obteined frow our own people, yet
o its practical workings 1t reach
€B & class who could not secure it on
as easy t ring, und could not zot
advances at all on such collatera.
a 8 is required by this loan assoeis
ation, and although a loan and
buildin » assnciation it offers to the
man who huas surplus cash, and
who does not wish to borrow, an
investment bank which is as secure
and paying a Letter interesi than
any of which we have any knowl
edaoe.
Since the argaaizat’on of this as
sociation we find popular sentinent
strongly favoring a system of pub -
lic graded schools, and we feel
coufident that it is a question of a
very sliort time when we wili be
eajoying the full fruitios of this
loan association and a public
school system, each acting as an
auxillary to the the other. We
have but o refer to our most pros
perous cities to satisty us as to the
benefits of publie schocls, Atlans
ta. Macon, and our sister city of
Americus, and almost, if not en
tirely, every prosperous eity iv
Georgin, are rejoicing over tae
manifold blessings to their people
ot a system of public schools. The
benetit is not confined to the city,
but blesses the city and country
aiike. We have but to investignte
to learn that the schools in the
cour try since the war are worse
than u failure, and tfrom the envis
ronments will eontinue to be so.
Give us a system of public schools
for our city; the countryman can
then, with assistance of the loan us
sociation, secure on easy terms a
home in the city and avail hinself
of the benefit to his children of
a first-class education free of tuition.
The Columbus Southern railroad
is no lonser a matter of doubt

continue to bid for our freights,
azd we have but to reach forth
and grasp our possibilities and
demonstrate that Terrell county,
with ber alimost uniimited resours

’ i¥ THE RACE FOR COKNGRESS.
E Two Kewspopcr Farcgrephs of a Polit
! ical hature--Fuz' fhead.
‘ The very fresh young man of the
Quitman Free Press labored and
Igave birth to the following paras
| graph last week:
‘ *Handsome Jim Guerry,”of Daw
! son, as his triends dedight in ealling
! him, was in town for several davs
{ Inst week as one of the counsel for
the defense in the ArringtonsLane
l(-:zse. Mr, Guerry will be remem
bered as the ventieman who op
ipused Hou. H. G. Turner in 88
aud made a very creditable mce.‘
He announced that heis in the
| race now aud workive for a nomi- |
Ination next year. To quote him |
[ and usze his own words in answer to |
Lun inquiry as to his coungressional |
laspiruliuns‘ he said; “Yes, sir, I
am running now and expect to he |
until semebody is nomivated ncxti
year.” Mr. Guerry is very popu
lar in the district ard would pmb~l
{ ably make agood race, but the peo- |
l ple are too well satisfied with their |
| breseut able representative to de. |
' sire a change. We throw out this |
suggestion as a pointer to My, |
. Guaerry, and it might profit him in |
[ more ways than one to be govern-
Led accordingly.”
\ The Leary Courier contains the
{ follewing io reply to the Free
Press, all ot which is heartily eu-i
dorsed by the News: |
“The Free Press editor is evis|
dently not a politician or else he!
would have delivered himself ditf |
tevently to what he has done ahove. ]
The editor ofthe Free Press is right,
in tact it he bad said that My, |
{ Guerry made a remarkable ruce
!tlu.a :\sgertio_u could not have heen |
' gainsaid. My, Guerry lost the
|iomivation by the vote of one
county which from its situation
shouid bave gone to him. The!
Free Press editor ought to kuow
| that it is poor business to nndm'-f
l value the strength of a competitor |
jor adversary. Mr. Guerry is
stronger tosday than he was betore |
{the beginuning of his first cam- |
i paign, This assertion is easily
1 understood. Mr. Turner has muny |
admirers on thisside of the distriet, |
| who, while admitting that he has |
(reflested eredit on his constitueney
by his able course in Congress, ave |
[ neverthcless of the opinion that |
| My, Turnershould be willing retire
{atter the honors that have |
{ been heaped upon him. In other!
it words, they teel that this side of
| district deserves recognition by |
{ biing allowed to furuish the next |
[ representative in congress. We
[do not eare to see ‘Mr. Turner)
| reiegated to retirement from the
| stage of potitical usefulness. No, !
i we woulid be glad'to see him in the !
{ zuhernatorial ehair or in the chair
{ now oceupicd by Jee Brown in the |
| Senate of the United States, where |
‘we are sure his superior ability |
| would be murked and felt just asit |
i has been in the lower house ut'('fmxi
faress Bat the paople of this side |
jor the distriet have their eyes on |

We Umpire.
One afternoon lust week we had
the pleasure(?) of umpiring a gawe
of ball—and we still live.
We donot hesitate to pronounce
the gcame a glittering success, but
as an umpire we differ from the
game,
When we state that among Daw

a bona fide solicitor general, a bank
president and a dudeo we are satis
fied our heroism wiil be appreeis
oted. The players were very eccen
tric and hard to please.
Much enthusiasm is being mani
fested in the game. Men take part
who are too old and ugly 0 ran
and whiss eyes are so dimmed with
age that red flannel is tied around
the ball to enable then to see it
men whose hase ball day have gone
out on a forced run.
