I M. & F. COLLEGE.,
lln Ins!ilu.tion that Reflec’s Credit on
Our City, and a Commencement that
Feflects Credit on the Institution.
To-night wli close the 16th
annual commencement of that
noble old institution, the S. G. M.
& K. Collevs. The exarcises
throughout were highly entertair
ing aud reflected unbounded eredit
on the teachers and scholars, and
the exaniications dizelosed the fact
| that the eourse of instruction has
been thorough and complete.
FRIDAY
was the beginning of class exami
{ nations, and the case and familis
arity with which the scholars re
cited was very satisfactory. The
audience was highly outért;linod,
and particularly pleased with Prof.
Parker’s method of instruction, es
pecially among his smaller pupils.
The commencement sermon,
preached by Rev. A. (3. Wardlow,
of Atlauta, was an able and apnro
priate cisconrse. He haundled his
text with the ease and grace for
which he is noted, abounding in
wit, truth, pathos and eloguence.
It was perhaps ove of the finest
sermons ever delitered in Dawson.
MONDAY
| was another day of exawinations,
‘and as belore, were entirely satiss
factory.
The entertainment in the evens
ing was one of the most thoroughly
enjoyed ever given in the city.
The recitations by the youny las
dies deserve special mention.
The farce, “30 Minutes for Rev
freshments,” showed to advantage
some of Diuwson’s amateur talent.
The laughter that greeted it betok«
ened its appreciation.
TUESDAY °
Was alzo speut in the examina
tion of classes, and as_belore
was hizhly entertaing. A
number of speeches and rocitas
tions by the little pupils were well
rendered and greatly enjoyed.
The entertainment on Tuesday
evening was in every respect a suc
cess, and the farce elicited much
applause.
WEDNESDAY.
To~day will be the day of days,
and will conelude the exercises.
The graduat'ng class, composed ot
Misses Ida Shankles, Maggie Turn
er and Jessie Martin and Messrs,
Jim Black, Otis Thornton, Lee
Hoyl and T. O. Stevenson, will
receive their diplomas and make
addresses and read essays.
At night there will be another
entertainment et the opera house.

Attempted Suicide.
The last issue of the Leary
Courier contained the following:
Information of the attempted sui
cide of Mrs.Tuke,of Terreil eounty,
by jumping into a well, was receivs
ed here last Sunday, ber hushand
being the messenger who brought
the the sad inteliizence.
Mrs. Tuke iz a dangbter of Rev,
J. G. McCullors, of our town.
Last Sunday morning whi e Mrs,
Tuke was preparinz breakiast for
her family, Ler mental balance
gave way, as it had done once be
fore, and slie ran to and jumped
in the well ia an eflort at self de
struction. The well was twenty
feet in water, but when + rz. Tuke
came to the surfuce, asshe expresss
ed it, ‘‘everything was so dark and
horrible, and slie wus so upfit to
die, that a new desire for a little
longer of life stole into Ler heart.”
Her cries brought her Lusband to
her assistance, aud by aligost su
perhuman strength he gfescued
her from her perilous position.
eSS
Tobe Thoraton.
The NEws feels called upon to
notice and compliment our pops
ular sheriff npon his efficiency and
untiring labor during the recent
sitting of our superior eourt.
The expense sived the county,
by using the fewest possible nums
ber of bailifls, is one thing for
which he shouldd receive the hearty
commendation of every citizen.

Residence Burned.
On last Saturday night, between
ten and eleven o'clock,the residence
of Mr. J. T. Cannon, about two
wiles from the eity,was burned. Mr.
Cannon and his family were asleep
and awoke just in time to escape
from the burning building. All of
their clothing and turniture
were lost. It is thought by Mr,
Cannon that the fire was caused by
a defective flue in the stove room.

Increased Mail Service.
It is thought Dawson will soon
be enjoying the advantage ot night
mail service. It is understood that
arrangements are about periect for
the cannon ball trains to bring
pcuches for Dawson, This will

daily mails, as heretofore.

{ SURVEYORS AT WORK.
; S .
‘ Naws Relative to the Alabama, Gesrgia
and Florida Raiiroad.
i A few days ago the Columbus
{ Enquirer publisher the following:
| “An engincering corps will leave
| the city this morning to run the
| preleminary lines to some point in
§ Florida, making a connection with
the Florida Central and Peninsu
{lar sysdem, and simultaneously
fanother corps will leave Florida
| for the purpose of making a pre
{ limenary survey for the same road,
!tho line to run up by Little
[river and direct to Dawson, Ga.,
| conneeting there with the Colum
{ bus Southern. Doth ot these en
| gincering corps have been organ
{lzed uunder Mr. Jordan’s directions
| during the last few days,and as the
; whole business seems to have been
| quietly and systematically manag.
led the presumption is that practis
cal businessis meant.”
This looks like business,and the
question is no longer:
“Will it be built?” but *“‘where
will it be built to? ® |
There is little doubt that in the
next few mounths a large force oti‘
workmen will be grodiag this line
The projectors will have in vie.v‘
l the saving of expenses and the best |
connee‘ion, and 1t must necessarily |
come direct to Dawson. The im-—i
portance of connection at Dawson
|cannot be disregarded. Dawson
| stands pretty good chances to be
the railroad center of Southwest
Georgia and the most important
city south of Macon, and there is
no use for the little towns around
us to wail. |
They must accept the inevitable,
and when they become tired of
monotony the ean run over to Daw
son and gaze upon such pluck
and enterprise as will make them
green with envy.

| The sesior of the superior court

- and interesting cne,
| Probably the most important

| contempt against L. D Hatcher
| & Bro. for not turning over their

' They made a showing to prove
[ that all their funds had been

before whom it was tried did not
! think the showing sufficient, and
| brought in a verdict acainst them.
{ Jurdge Clarke overruled a motion
' for a new trial, and the ease has

| The criminal ease of most intela}

!It will be remembered that one
Imorning last spring Plowden was
