It is better to wear our than to rust out.
The Dawson journal., 1883-11-01


Reports come to us through our
exchanges that the farmers OF
Middle Georgia, where they have
had good seasons of rains, are
putting in unusually large grain
crops this fall. Convinced as we
are that this is the only sure road
to prosperity and independence
upon the part of the farmer, it is
very gratifying to us to chronicle
such information. Now let the
farmers of Terrell get ready to do
Likewise, and another year will
find US crowned with plenty and
peace.
When a man undertakes to pass
uNon the faults of his neighbors
he ought to be very sure that he is
not guilty of something worse.
Simply because the world doesn't {
happen to know of his dark deeds
It is no reason why the gravity OF
the ofense should be lessened. IF
the secret sins of men could be
laid open to the world to inspect
and scrutinize, many who now
boast of their capacity to pass in
judgement upon their. neighbors,
would be found to be a perfect
stencil in the nostrlls of all the
world.
"If the people of Mitchell doun-
ty could go to Albany one Of these
dry hot days and see the weary
teams slak ng their thirst at that
large basin of cool water kept full
by the artesian well, they would
finish the well in Camilla at any
cost For The sake Of our suffer
ing horses and mules let us have a
well. And the people need it as
much as the mules and horses"
The above paragraph which we
clip from the Camilla Clarion is
equally applicable in all respects
to the people Of Dawson and Ter
rell. just what the people of Al
bany and vicinity would have done
during this long, continued
drought without theft artesian
wells is hard to opine. A good
flow of artesian water in Dawson
will do for our town just exactly
what it has done fot Albany i
will increase the valuation Of oul
property rs per cent.

Some two months ago, when
cotton had reached nine cents, We
advised the farmers to sell their
cotton as fast as they could get it
into market. We gave our rea-
sons for so advising at the time, IS
all will remember. The wisdom
Of our counsel has been fully veri-
fed. There are some, however,
who still believe that cotton will
yet advance to ten cents; and, il
may be true, bat granting that it
will, would it have paid the farm
er two months ago to have held
his cotton in the warehouse for
an indefinite period of time wait
ing for the advance when he had
bis obligations to meet? When
You count up the cost and risk of
holding Gotten for n period of
several months, and that, too, up-
on the uncertainties Of the market,
we believe that every one will
agree with us that our advice was
both timely and wise.

The mayor, highsherif' and CITY
marshal all went to Albany TO-
gether on last Monday. It musl
have been a very suspicious cir
cumstance to the people Of Albany
to see this trio of officials invade
the precincts of their city all at
the sam time. It will be a mat
ter of relief to the friends Of these
gentlemen, however, to know that
they all returned to their homes
in safety.
We are sorry to learn that the
hog cholera has broken out in the
vicinity of Chickasawhatchee.-
There never was so fine a pros
pect for meat in the country since
the war, and it would be a great
calamity to the farmers to have
their hogs take the cholera now
and die. It would be well for the
farmers to watch their hogs very
closely and upon the first manifes-
tatlon OF disease resort to the best
known remedies to prevent its
spread.
Some Of the boys about Bron-
wood are reported as having cap-
tured q wild goat from the fast
nesses OF the Kinchafoonee. What
IS. still more remarkable about
this affair is that the goat was
captured in a tree, forty feet from
the ground. The owners OF this
wonderful goat, we understand.
are now negotiating with the man
ayers Of Sells menagerie with a
view of effecting a sale of his
goatship. Hold, boys, for big
price, or else you may lose your
opportunity.
Property sold, on last Thursday,
at the sale Of Enoch G. Brown,
deceased, at good prices. Corn
brought from so to Sc cents per
bushel; fodder 63 cents per hund-
red; yearling steers and heifers
So to SS per head; mich COWS SI2
to SIG per head. A Texas pony
sold for SIG; small bay horse for
$ll5., and a mule for Sl42. House
hold and kitchen furniture and
crockery-ware sold at fair prices.
The sale was well attended and
everything passed off pleasantly.

We are frequently asked the
question, how. are your collections
this fall We have no cause to
complain; but, upon the contrary,
have reason to feel gradfe,l. IN the
first place, we carry no name upon
our books unless we consider the
party responsible and we think,
now, that we have GOT the business
down to such fine point that every
man who takes the pdpet is perfectly
good for his subscription. Subscri-
bers are paying up promptly.
The Dawson journal., 1883-11-01

One Of our merchants told us the
other day that collections were al
ways better when the cotton crop
was short than when it was good
He Said The reason Of this was that
she farmers traded less and were
more cautious, and for fear Of not
being able to pay, used the first mon
ey they got in settling up their III
debteduess. He said while trade
was not SO good collections were
better.

A SUICIDE.

The community was shocked on
yesterday morning to learn that
Mr. T. J. Hood living in the yiein-
ity Of Chickasawhatchee had COM
mitteed suicide by taking strieh-
nine on the night before. No
reason or causei8 known to anyone
why Mr. Hood should thus delib-
erately take his life. lie was a
good citizen, g clever, friendly
neighbor and we'll to do in life.
He was not at all financially EN-
barrassed, we learn, but, upon the
contrary, was in easy circumstanc-
es and making money. But he's
gone. IL is undoubtedly true that
he is dead, and That he took his
own life by his own hand. We
are truly sorry to have to chroni-
cle this sad event, and we are
more than sorry for his distressed
family.

Our cemetery was full Of new made
graves, Death had entered nearly every
home. business wss alnolt paraly zed. our
Judge Of the Criminal Court had been
laid in the grave, criminals we're becorn-
ing embolaened and crime seemed about
to multiply. at that tine stood man
amongst US who had made himself COM
psratively independent by the practice Of
his nrofession, and who, Therefore, was
under no necessity Of remaining with US
to share our sorrow. But he forsook us
not. The eyes of all bis brethren at the
bar were turned toward him, the voice OF
all the people was raised earnestly re-
questing him to lend his talents and bis
energy, whilst we sat about the discour-
aging task Of retrieving the fortunes Of
our city. That cry Of Memphis was heard
and needed. At great sacrifice of his
pecuniary Interests Judge Horngan then
came forward to our relief The practice
of his profession would doubtless have
yielded him annually four or i've times
the amount Of his salary; but generously
giving up all this, he then assumed the
sacred trust which he held TO the day Of
his death. And to him, together with
four or five other equally unselfish citi
zens, Memphis owes to-day more than she
can ever repay. Here We have the secret
of this universal Outburst Of sorrow.
Why should he have watched over our
interests with such sleepless vigilancel
Why should he have been so quick to
hear Of violations of the law and so
prompt to draw offenders before the bar
Of justice? Why six days in the waek
should he have gone 10 the courthouse.
sitting for weary hours through every day
and oftentimes returning 10 his labor at
night, pressing onward the business ofthe
court and the city with a zeal that never
tagged and an energy that never grew
weary. In all this, so far as we can see,
he seemed to have but one ambition; and
it was that which he expressed 70 me,
when on one occasion recently he said:
II think we have now as peacable and
law-abiding a community as canbe found
in the world" That was evidently the
end for which he labored.
