In the hands of young men this
great system has been so carefully
managed that it has earned a repu-
tation second to none for convent
cnce, safety and the Injuries of
travel. 1t is fast becoming the
popular route for transcontinental
travel, in connection with the
Southern Pacific railroad.
1t has opened up an almost UNI
limited field for pioneer enterprise
in the far West. No other rail
road can carry a man, who is seek

Another Suicide

ONLY few weeks ago, we were
called upon to chronicle the sui
eide of L. J. Hood, of this county.
and, now, it is Merrill Bishop, of
this city. Merrill was frolick-
some, harmless young man of
about % years of age. He had
only one enemy of which we are
lnformed-wHIsKEY. Merrill was
industrious and hard working, but
he would drink; and, of late, it
seems that he had absolutely lost
all control of himself. He had
been drinking on the night previ-
Gus to his self-destruction, and on
the following morning, Saturday
OF last week, he went to his work
as usual. By profession he was
both a carpenter and painter, and,
on the morning of his death, he
went round to the hotel to assist
Mr.. Avent in some painting, which
he had engaged to do for DR.
Farnum. We learn from Mr..
Il. LII. Brown, who met the deceas-
ed at the hotel only few minutes
before he died, that he spoke very
despondingly of life and its pros
poets, and that he intended to
leave this country" Mr.. Brown
asked him where he was going.
that he intended to move
away. But he responed that he
was "going to the devil" and that
1t would not be more than two
days before he would do just what
another young man in this town
had done-kill himself. Mr..
Brown rather made light of bis |
utterances and begged him not to |
talk that way, whereupon, Merrill |
left the hotel in the direction of |
his home. From what we can
learn he walked straight-way to
Dr. Cheatham's drug store, and |
upon entering the door asked the |
clerk, Charlie Orr, if he knew |
what was good to kill bats
Charlie answered that he did not.
The deceased then stated that he |
had heard strichnine would kill !
them and he wanted a quarters !
worth. Without the slightest |
suspicion Of Merrill's real purpose. |
the clerk weighed him out 25 cents
worth of the poisonous drug
After receiving the enveIop, |
which contained the strichnine, |
he walked over to John Browns |
store, went back to the water |
bucket, emptied the contents of
the paper into glass, filled it |
with water and drank it off
Willie Brown, who saw him drink
ing something, asked what he was
doing. Merrill responded, I'm
taking strichnine." But knowing
the deceased to be of humorous
disposition no particular impor-
tance was attached to what he
said. After drinking the drug.
deceased left directly for his home,
about quarter of mile distant
from the square. By the time he
reached home he was in convul-
sions. The family at once sent for
DIR. Kendrick in great haste, but
when the Doctor arrived and ex
amined his pulse he found that his
condition was hopeless, and in
three minutes after the Doctor
stepped in the door Merrill was
dead. With one tremendous con-
vulsion he fell back upon the bed
a lifeless corpse. Thus died
Merrill Bishop, young man that
might have lived an ornament
both to his family and his country
but for whiskey. He was buried
on last Sunday afternoon at the
Chickasawhatchee church, near
this city. To the members of the
bereaved and distressed family
the journal extends sympathy.

Col. Mitchell j. Webb, of this
city, who has been reading law un-
der the tuition of Judge L. NJ.
Lennard for some months past,
stood his examination on last
Tuesday morning in the presence
of the Court and was duly admit
ted to the bar to practice law. We
learn from parties who witnessed
the examination that it was both
thorough and creditable. We
doubt not that the young Colonel
will make his mark, win fame and
distinction and be heard of again
in the future as one of the immor-
TALES. Success to you, Mitchell.
Here's our hand in token of our
kindly wishes for your future
greatness.

We are sorry to see disbosi-
ton upon the part of some Of our
people to send off to other cities
for goods, when we know that the
same articles can be bought right
here in Dawson just as cheap;
and, very often, even cheaper.
Take the article of furniture for
instance: We are thoroughly
satisfied, after several years deal
ing with the firm of A. j. Baldwin
& Co, that they can and do sell
the very same furniture in Dawson
cheaper than it can be bought in
the city of Atlanta. We speak
from actual experience, and know
whereof we speak. Were it nee
essary we could cite our readers to
several ladies, living right here in
town, by whom we can establish
the truth of every word we have
said. Try it, when you will, and
you will find that Andrew Bald
win will save you money by buy
ing your goods from him. So far
as his stock is concerned it is Just
as complete as you will find in any
city south of Atlanta, and if he
hasn't got just what you want he
can order it and save you money
in this way. Mr.. Baldwin has an
upper story to his building and
his furniture iskept up stairs, and
when you come to town, whether
you want to buy or not, ask him
to let you see his furniture. He
will take great pleasure in show
ing it to you even if you don't
buy. What we have said of this
firm is literally true in every par
ticular, and we have said it as
much to benefit customers as the
firm. The writer has bought
from A. j. Baldwin & Co, during
the past four years, several hund-
red dollars worth of furniture, and
he has compared their prices with
Atlanta prices, and, in every single
instance, he has found it cheaper
and better to buy from A. j.
Baldwin & Co.

Mr.. NJ. B. Salmon and wife of
Meriwether county, have arrived
in our city. They were accompa-
MED by Mr., Kimbrough, rela-
tive. For the present they are the
guests Of Mr.. A. J. Carver, but as
soon as the latter gentleman
moves out they will take posses
sion of the Bottsford place, the
farm recently purchased by Mr..
Salmon. We extend to the above
party cordial welcome and be-
lieve that they will be highly
pleased with our section. Mr..
Salmon is a young man Of ample
means and will add largely to the
material and social interests of our
community. One of Mr.. Salmon's
first acts after arriving in our
county was to subscribe for the
Journal.

Remember gentlemen, that
subscriptions are always due in
ADVANCE, and when we run man

we expect the money early in the
