OFFIOTAL ‘@RGAN OF THE COUNTY. | :

DAWSEON, GA., JunE 26, 1889 | |
Hddvertisers should vemember that |
Yhe News iz the Official paper of both |
the Town and County Officers, and
e guarantee our Circdation to equal
the combined corculations of the two
other papers published in the county. |
f
. ‘
Dawsox continues to forge |
ahead. The music of the haramer |
and trowel is the music that lulls|
us to sleep at night aud awake us |
at early morn. !
DAWSON'S OUTLOOK. ;
It isan evident fact to strangers, |
a 4 well as her own citizens, that the
outlook for Dawson is brighter to
day than it has been for years, #nd
that the city is at the begiuning of
a strong and healthy growth. The
business of the city isextending
and tradeis being drawn here from
a territory hitherto untoucled by |
us. A epirit of energy and enter- |
price is growing among the bu.~i—\
ness men aud people and the result
of thisis shown in the ircreased vol
ume of trade reported by the mers
<hants. Dawson has become the
trading centre of a goodly poriion
of the country,and her reputation
as such is being acknowledged
more every day. Of course, this
must be of benefit, and while the
growth arising from thiz extended
trade wil be slow, it will be firmly
founded and far more enduring
than the temporary inflation of ex
cited “booms” tollowed by the in
evitable collapse.
"We can firmly pin our faith in
the future of Dawson,and the great
country of which it is the trade cen
tre. Itisa matter which should
encourage every citizen ot Terrell
county, tor it is a fact that where
a county townis prosperous and
-extending,the farming interests im
prove correspondingly.
One of the bat evidences of the
future of the to¥n is the willing~
ness, the eagerness with which our
people have come tozether on the
question of public improvements.
A PROPER VIEW OF IT.
Chancellor Bogg’s branch col
lege scheme is meeting with decid
ed opposition throughout the State.
The people will not approve of large
sppropriations for higher educas
tien while the common schools are
at such a low standard. Those
who pay taxes should receive the
benefits of all public gpproprias
‘tions, and but feware benefitted by
consolidating the schoo!s interest in
a tew towns.
The following sensible views are
from the Merriwcther Vindicator:
‘A bill i to be presented to the
legislature the first day of the ap~
prosching session,the objectionable
features of which we mentioned
last week. That portion which
proposes to bestow donations upon
braech colleges in each congress
ional district it strikes usasa sort
of plan ‘to get rid of the surplus
in the treasury.’ Let the money
the state bas to epare, be put as
far as necessary in the State Uni
versity and the common schools,
and pot frittercd away upon so
called ‘branch colleges’- ~the gens
ius inventing the term should have
a leathern medal—having uothing
b at a local patronage, being nothing
more than the .ordinary high
schools to be found in our country
towns, Ifa parent boards his boy
from home he naturally prefers
sending him to a school of promi
nence, and not to a ‘brauch col~
lege.” These branch colleges have
no connection with the State Uni~
versity beyond the slight bond that
enables them to draw money from
the treasury, They are little roots
lets through which public pap is to
flow, and consume all the support
they get in their own sustenance.
In short, they are but high schools
sustained by statz money for local
benefit. Why, then, give more of
these local educational pap seek
ers more money.
“There will be a rush and a lob
by influence to force these projects
through, but we trust the legisla
ture will preserve its mental bal.
ance, vote down such aljectiona
able educational measures and
place all sp.re money to the build
jog up and perfecting the public
.gchool system. With free tuition
ihe state college ought to be able
4o take care of itself for awhile”
70 OUR YOUNG HIEN. ’
The following sensible remarks
re from the Atlanta Jowrnal. We
übstitute the word Dawsen for
Atlanta, and commend the
houghts of the article to every |
roung man who may read it:
Do you wantto” be rich and I
prominent? '
Well, then, let us make a suge |
zestion to you. |
Tke young men of to-day will:
be in charge of the business of
this city a few years hence. ‘
That is, certain of them will be.
Which ones? |
Those who push themselves to
the front and stay there. |
Any young man of brains,energy }
and charzeter who will devote"
himself to buildiug up a good busi
ness, who will identify himself
with public enterprises, work for
himselfand the city at the same “
time, in short take a prominent
position as a young man and keepup
with the procession, will, in a few
vears, be a rich maf and a promis
nent citizen.
If you take care of Dawson, Daw
gon will take care of you. If you
o to the front as a young,man you
will be in the front rank as a mid
dlesaged man.
Don't wait for the tide. Don't
“wait for any body to dieard leave
you a fortune. Don’t imagine
there is a better place than Daw
soa, for there is not. Resolve to
cast ycur fortune with this grows
ing city. Then take hold and work.
Keep pushing. Grow as the city
grows. That is the way to become
|i a rich and prominent man.
iTIr’E PUBLIC SCHGOLS OF CQL” #BUS,
! Iu a lepnthy wrticle about Co
| lnmbus and ber enterprises, tie
l Enquirer-Sun has the following
’ concerning the public echools of
that city:
| ©Her public school system;
[ buildings and equipments for the
same, are modeled aftef the model
schoo! of the union, and afford am
ple accommodation for all children
of an age old.enough to attend
them. These scheols, which have
been in vogue for over twenty
’ye.rq, have had a salutary effect
upon her citizenship, which is not
!ed for its ihtdligcuc.o, and stamps
iteelf upon her individuality,
l which is marked by its most health
fal laws, wisdom in their adminis
tration, devotion to her interests,
and the well being of her citizens.”
, “OOLFOL‘K GUILTY.
The jury in the Woolfolk case re
turned a vesdict of guilty Monday
night after being out forty-flve
minutes. ‘
The prisoner turned slightly
paler and gulped repcatedly. He
blivked his eyes quickly for gome
minutes.
In a few minutes Col. Ruther
tord stood by Tom Woolfolk. He
took Tom’s hand and szid: “I told
you before the verdict would not
staud. I tell you again that this
verdict will not stand. Until the
case is tried according to law you
can rest as afe as though you were
in your own hed, as far as this
verdict is concerned.”
Court adjourned without passe
ing sentence.
Sold Two Coffins tc One Man.
Messrs. A. J. Baldwin & Co,
made a sale last week that does not

man. Mr. W. E. G. Wall lost two
of his tevants—man and wife—
and sent the same day to Baldwin

iN MEMORIAM.
Resolutions by the Baptist Sunday School
on the Death of Jno. F. Pace.
{There is a Reaper whose name is|
Death,
And with his sickle keen, l
He cuts the bearded grain at a!
breath, |
And the flowers that grow be
tween.”
Yes! Death has invaded our Sun
day School and with ruthless hands, |
almost before we were awave of his|
presence, taken {rom our midsti
and claimed for his vietim one of
our brightest young men.
Juhn F. Pace is no more; his
plrasant face will never greet us
again in our Sunday School, but‘
now lies beneath the green sod to |
await the final resurrection. Weep
ing relatives and sorroving friends
bave paid the last tribute to his
remains. Mr. Pace had given his
heart to the Saviour,and on his bed
of affliction and death gave every |
evidence that he was only making
a bappy exchange. To his school
mates we would say, emulate his
virtues, and ‘“‘Pe ye also ready.”
To bis heari-broken parents and
weeping brothers and sisters,
it will be a sweet thought that
wl en thev are called 10 cross the
chilly stream which divides us from
the Spirit world, John, clothed
in the shining garments ot Heav—
cu’s own, will hHe waiting and
watching at the Beautiful Gate to
wele me thew 1o an eternity of
sweet companionship by the River
of life and glad ess. beside whose
waters “no harps ever haug silent,
nor happy voices cease,”
Theretore, we, the members of
the Dawson Baptist Sunday school,
deem it nght and proper to givy,
expression of our loss and he
‘esteem in which we hel?, 15,
~ Resolved, 1; That in the death
of Mr. Pace we, s g school, have
\lost 8 faithful member, and the
tommunity a high minded,christian
| gentleman.
2. That we mourn not rs those
who have no Lope, but look fors
l\mn] to the time when we shall
enjoy his fellowship again in the
vorld of light, it we are taithful to
the end.
3. That we tender to his be
reaved family our sincire . and
hearttelt sympathiesand point them
;[olh:lt Savicur,in whom he trusted
to be:l their ~orrows, and wipe all
E tears from their eyes.

it point to do so immediately You will see the most complete line of
DRUGS. CHEMICALS and PATENT MEDICINES in the city of
Dawson Beginning with a mederate business, they have built up the
most substantial drug trade in Southwest Georgia. By honest and fair
dealing, coupled with ypolitcness and kindly courtesy to all, they have
attained that degree of popularity with the public that none can gains
suy. Their business to-day is a living testimony to the fact that
patience, perseverance and fair dealing are mot without their reward.
A thorou:h knowled e of the action ot diflerent drugs enables them to
give timely counsel to the uncertain purchaser and gave him moneyv
by directing him to the most cer.ain means hy which health and happis
ness may be restored. Alitve to their interest 28 drugzists they keep
p-sted on the good things that sre continually cominz out in the way
of new remedies, ard allow none to pass by that are known to have
)merit in curing disesses. They make a number of medicines in their
own Laboratory that bhave guined an enviable reputation in the dis
eases for which they are recommended. At the head of this list stands
CHOLERA CORDIAL

Than which none better is known for the cure of Dysentery, Diarrheea,
Cholera Morbusfand Cholera Intantumi. It gets there,” say all who
have used it in those diseases of the bowels peculiar to hot weather, It
you want to be convinced that there is at least one certain remedy for
these complaints purchase n bottle a d try it.
The next on the list is the
WOKRM KILLER
VOLM KILLER,
