The Dawson journal., 1883-11-29

iAl,'tloll OF our con-
temporarles abroad, we state that
Dawson is still without rain.
Mr.. q. L. Weston leftvestardor ;,
on a short business trip for Cras
cent City, Florida.
The "colts" on the grand ;urv
are not very tame. They are made
up OF splendid metal.
The most modest man on the
grand jury this week is owen
Gelse. But, while modest, he
makes very solid juror.
Judge Clarke's charge to the
grand jury, as usual, was able and
concise. Not word too much nor
one too little.
Those of our farmers who sow
wheat should not neglect to roll if.
1t makes quite difference in the
yield. '
We see in attendance upon our
court this week, Coils. Wooten,
Vason, Warwick, Watson, Chas,
tain, Weaver and others.
Our people would be glad to
see the Rev. Mr.. Snively in our
city more frequently. lie is a
preacher of marked abilities.
The Rev. DR.. Geo. A. Lofton
and wife left on last Tuesday for
Memphis. Our people were made
sorry to see them leave.
Oats is the cheapest crop that
can be raised in this country, even
at 40 cents a bushel. Suppose
you try ten acres in oats and ten in
cotton and see how it turns out.
Editor Pilsbury, of the Ameri-
Gus Recorder, is in attendance up
on our court this week. "Pillv"
represents a good paper and is
himself a fine solicitor"
A. J. Baldwin & Co. have lust
received a beautiful lot of Dado
Window Shades. In point of
beauty and elegance they can not
be surpassed. Prices low down.
The editor of this paper is in
vited to eat Thanksgiving turkey
to-day by one of the cleverest la
dies In Georgia. He will certain
ly accept the invitation.
Capt. J. W. Roberts is foreman
of the grand jury now in session
with Mr.. j. A. Laing acting as
secretary. A good selection Of of
fcers.
The Rev. Mr.. Payne, of the
Orphans Home, was in our CITY on
last Sunday and presented the
claims of that institution to our
people. His success was but
meagre.
1t is very distressing to think
that Dawson hasn't got enterprise
enough to have a city hall. It is
now one of the imperative needs
of the city, and have it we must.
Now is the time to buy cheap
overcoats at j. W. f. Lowrey's.-
A $40 overcoat can be bought at
this store for the spot cash at
$3.50, and an overcoat worth SO
can be bought for $3.50.
The Albany News says: Miss
Doodle Kendrick had a severe at
tack of fever Friday night last,
but her many friends will be
proud to learn that she is now con-
valescent.
Warren Wells IS the least man
on the grand jury in point of phys
ical frame, but by no means the
smallest in point of intellect.
Warren is jolly and humorous and
keeps everybody around him in
pleasant mood.
Albany, Americus, Eufaul2 and
Cuthbert are having theatrical
entertainments every week, and,
for the lack Of hall, Dawson
must needs receive the 'go by"
from every troupe that passes
along,
Parties living at distance are
requested to send the amount of
their subscription by post-ofice
order. Please don't wait to be
dunned by letter or have your
names scratched off. Our terms
are cash in advance.
Mr.. W. B. Christie has traded
hrs Russell place of 200 acres for
the place now occupied by Mr..
Amos G. Stewart, near town. Mr..
Christie paid a difference of $3.50.
between the two places
Messrs. W. J. Brown, Jr., and
Robt. j.. Morris, of Georgetown,
were in our city on a visit last
Sunday. If we had to guess the
object of their mission we would
say they came to see one of our
Lee street bellies. Come again,
young gentlemen; Dawson can
beat the world for pretty girls.
The Americus Recorder says:
