" Y. | YTHE NEWS> By E. L. RAINEY. TOM LOYLESS, Ass't. EpiTor. cimaas SR OFFICTAL ORGAN OF THE COUNTY. l DAWSON,G\., Avcust 14.1839\ Advertisers should remember that the News is the Official paper of both the Town and County Officers, ana we quavantee our Cireulation to equal th- combined curculations of the two other papers published n the county. A Gubernatorial Gun. t The last issue of the Sparta Ishmuelite contains an authorizod announcment of the name of W. J. Northen as a candidate for govern or of Georgin. This may be re<; garded as the first bizgun of the eampaign. In speaking of Mr, Northen, the Ishmaclite says: *He is a fair, sguare, cleau man, and he purpescs to make an open, honorable race—leaving the issue with the democratie veters of the state. 1 here is not a better man for tue positicn of coverner in the state, nor is there one worthier of being honored by the people.” Mr. Northen will receivea strong support, but he will also have strong oppositien. The next gubs ernatorial race in this state promis es to be a close and exciting one, Bully for Atianta! | General Lewis, Atlanta’s new postmaster, appointed a negro to a position in the postofiice that brought him in dmmediate contact with a young lady clerk. 'flw\ young lady's father protestea against the indignity, and upon Lewis’ refusal to revoke the ap pointment the young lady prompt ly resigned. Her father, who was also an employe in the office, ten dered his resignation at the same time. When these facts beeanie known to the public there was general howl of indignation, and both Lewiz and the nc torious A. E. Buck were barred in effigy. The ceremony was witness« ed by several thousand people, all of whom were in hearty sympothy with the spirit of the occasion, and it issafe to say that no twocreatures in Atlanta are more thoroughly despised than the precious pair of reprobates whose efigies dangled from the gibbet the other night. Bully for Atlanta, anyhow ! A Deleyali;:of Farmers. It will be remembcred that Tast year the Central railroad fitted up a handsomely decorated ear and filled it with the products ot Geor giu's fields, forests, mines and manu factories, This car was placed in charge of Major W. L. Glessner, commiss soiner of immigration, who took it up through the northwest, visiting the various state and district fairs, wher2 the exlibit was displayed side by side with the products of thatsection. This exhibit of Geor giw’s rich and varied resources gerved to draw the attention of thousands to this state. This year anovel plan of carry ‘ing Georgia on wheels has been arranged. The idea is to form a ‘party of representative Georgia farmers and carry them to the -northwest, there to investigate the products, methods and machinery of that section, that they may com pare them with theirs and adopt such of them es are adapted to our state. They will also speak @ good word for Georgia on their travels, The eentral railroad will furnish | the party with ome of their hand- | «some sleepers and arrange for its itransportation over thte route laid out. The party will be composed of representative and practical far mers, selected by the gtate agri .enltural society and the siate allis mmce, each organization being privileged to select one from each congressional district. The party will leave Atlanta on Saturday, Au;iv:‘st 31st, ana wili epend two weeké in visiting state and district fairs, experimental farms, agricultural coll ges, stock, dairy and fruiv farms. No effoyt will be spared to make the tiipa 1 Plersant and instructive one. | The Central railroad is to be | commended for the liberal and | enterprising spirit it has displayed | A 0 thus aiding in the development | of the marerial industries and call. | .ing gttention to the rich and vas | -med resources of the state. It has| not confined its work to the ter- | ritory traversed b{ ite lines, but | has generally worked for the in.| _“4erests of the entire state, and this | . proposed farn.crs’ excursion is but one of many irstances of its {Lhough. ful Jiberality. Importance of the New Railroad Move. z The tollowing extracts, from last Thursday’s Albany Nevs and| Advertiser,show that the people of ‘ Ahat city are thoroughly arouscd over the prospects of Dawson gers ting the new line of railroad trom here t~ Quiney, Fla. The I\'ews! and Advertiser says; 1 “Albany nov has the chance to secure another railroad to connect | here with the Columbus Southern. l Unless we make an effort to get it the road wiil go to Dawso, andl rob us of a large commercial field. i We will now see whether Albany will do her duty or not. ! ~ *‘Now is Ihe time for you to r show your loyalty to your city.— The new railrond. from Dawson to Quiacy, connecting with the Col- L umbus Southern at Dawson, will ruin Albany’s trade. Intrying to overcome this blow at oar intrests we can soon tell who hes the in terest of Albany at heart.” \ The projectors of the road favor ; building it to Dawson, and if Daw son will only do her duty there is vo possible chance for Albany or any vthertown tosecure the road. Albany seems to be terribly in earnest, though, and the News and Advertiser seems to have a bad ease of jim jams over the out- A look. The building of the road to Daw» son would mean the trade of Ra-. ker, Calhoun and Miiler counties, which now goes to Albany, and would cause the city to take anoths er long stride forward, It means that the Midland. the Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus, the Columbus Southern and the Alabama, Georgia and Florda L will be linked into one continuons whole, thus secaring to us a short ar.d competing line to ( Latranooga and the Northwest. It meansa line south of us to connect with the Florida Central and Peninsula, with its six hundred miles of rail way already constructed. This places Dawson on a great through line from Chattancoga 10 Floris da. The new road will bring us more people, more manufacturing enter. prises, more capital and astill great er increases in leal estate values. There is much in this to make the people of Dawson feel geod, an whem the time comes she should liberally respond to the call tor aid. When Dawson makes up mind to de a thing sbe generally does it. A tfew months ago she dgicided to get up $30,000 to help huild the Columbus Southern.-. This has been done and the road js now being built, ' But this is another important line to which Dawson should turn her attention Just now while flush ed with victory, Let our citizens come tozether and take hold of the matter. It they will do this the Nuws has no fear of the result. We will have the second new road. There isno usein wasting words on this subjeet. The people of Daw~ son want the road to Florida and are willing to helppay forit. Al that is necessary is for the ball to be set in motion. Keep your eye on Dawson, Signs of Sfe'a—dy Growth. During the past few months the force of carpenters in Dawson has been augmented by men ccming from other cities, the number of local earpenters being insufficient to do the work, These civeun stances go to show that there will be no cessation in the build'ng loom in Pawson for some time to come at legst, Dawson is growing rapidly and steadily, aud houses must be buijlt for the accomodation of new com ers. The growth of the city is ‘healthy. Her institutions are on a healthy bosis, and there js every reason to believe that Dawson is Just entering upon « period of greats er prosperity thaa she has ever be fore enjoyed. | [ Ir Hon. J. H. Guerry is eleot €d judge of the Patauly circuit, he cannot go to congress. How about | that “roll-call,” Ruiney ! Quitman Herald, The Hon. Council B.
