Death OF Rev. u. w. Kew.

The sad intelligence Of the death
of Rev. d. w. Key reached this
city on last Sunday, and many
were the hearts that were made
sad by this unweleomed news
Mr.. Key was well known in our
city and county, having served as
pastor of the Methodist church in
this place only a couple of years
ago. AT the time of his death he
was editor and proprietor of the
Lumpkin Independent. He died
on last Saturday morning in
Lumpkin, about one o'clock, after
protracted illness Of several
weeks with malarial fever. In his
last hours, he was attended by
both his parents and received all
the attention that it was possible
for medical skill to render. We
deeply deplore his untimely death
and extend to his distressed fami-
ly all the sympathy of our hearts.

The Rev. Geo. S. Johnston held
his last service in our city at the
Methodist church on last Sunday
for the present year. He will
leave us to-day for Augusta,
whence he goes to perform the
marriage ceremoney of his broth
er, Col. Phil Johnston, of Waynes-
boro. From Augusta, he will re-
turn to Macon, to attend the South
Georgia Conference, which meets
in that city on next Wednesday,
the 18th inst. We learn that
brother Johnston is not expected
to be returned to Dawson, but Will
probably be sent elsewhere. -
Brother Johnston has been with
us for two years, and during that
time be has endeared himself to
our people not a little, and there
will be very many, who will regret
to learn that it is probable he will
not return. Brother Johnston is
a good man, jealous worker and
popular pastor. He has made
many very warm friends during
his two years stay in our city and
wherever he goes they will al
ways wish him well and extend to
him cordial welcome when he
ratnrnS to Dawson.

Judge Clarke said on last Satur-
day morning, from his place upon
the bench, that in all his expert
ence as a Judge, he had never
met with sheriff so efficient in all
respects as Mr.. W. n. Thornton.
when it is considered that Judge
Clarke is not the man to indulge
in unnecessary and extravagant
praise, this is very high and dis
tinguished compliment. and We
doubt not that Mr.. Thornton is
keenly sensible of it. Terrell has
reason to be proud of her high
sheriff

TAX COLLECTORS BOOKS.

As this officer is now actively
engaged in collecting the tax and
will be for several days yet, moth
ing definite can be ascertained.-
We find that a large portion of the
Poll Tax remains unpaid each year;
and we recommend that the
County Commissioners take this
matter in hand and appoint some
efficient man as collector i'll each
district of the county for the pur-
pose of collecting said taxes; and,
we further recommend that the
commissioners require a good and
sufficient bond of each appointee,
and that they be allowed sufficient
compensation to induce them to
do the work, provided that they
shall receive as compensation only
a certain per cent. of the taxes
which they actually collect. We
recommend that Jurors be paid
$500 per day; bailitfs $500 per
day; riding bailiffs $500 per day
for. the year 1884.
We also recommend that Mr.
Nick Kenney be paid Is cents pei
day for a certain child that was
too young to be separated from itt
mother who has been held il

intelligent lad of sixteen, and we
doubt not from the cut of his
general physique that he will stick
to his work, do well and make his
mark. Ii the face and manners
of a boy can be relied upon as an
index to the soul, we have nc
doubt but Leroy will make mar
of whom his friends will some day
feel proud.

Mr.. Charles Deubler certainly
deserves the thanks OF every citi-

he has given up his own business
almost entirely and devoted his
time and attention to the interest
of tie city in aiding about the
work of the artesian well. The
city of Dawson never had a more
faithful guardian of her interest
than Mr.. Deubler has been, and
we trust that our people are not
insensible of his merit. The time
will come, we hope, when Charley
will receive his reward.
