ant reminder or SZ.OU from each in
the way of subscription.
How many of our people will be
grateful enough to abserve thanks

ally a day Of feasting and general
holiday.
The Journal is indebted to Miss
Katie Powell for nice treat ii
the way of pomegranites. Miss
Katie is one of Dawson's most
estimable young ladies.
Capt 7. H. Pickett seems to be
getting all the law practice now
that he can do. His hands are
full all the time. The Captain is
a fine collector.
Mr.. II. HI. Brown, Of Wards.
was In the city on last Monday.
We are always glad to see Homer
come; and we predict for him a
bright future as a business man.
Owlng to the absence of several
OF the lawyers by reason of sick
ness, court at Cuthbert only held
one week: This gives Solicitor
Guerry a week of unexpected rest.
Mr.. W. HI. Turner says he has
seen it as dry in this section before
as it is now. The average citizen,
however, can't recollect that far
back.
Numbers Of persons in this
county are compelled to haul all
the water they use from the neigh
boring creeks; and in some in
stances the creeks and branches
are dried up.
The monthly entertainments at
the college are quite refreshing,
both to the pupils and our citizens.
Everybody that attended on last
Friday night was well entertained
and well pleased.
Dld you see the ring around the
moon on last Saturday night
Our Solicitor said on Sunday
morning after hearing of it that it
was obliged to rain. He said a
ring around the moon was about
as good as the Indians sign.
Now is the time to buv chean
overcoats at J. w. F. Lowrey's.-
A $50 overcoat can be bought at
this store for the spot cash at
$3.50, and an overcoat worth $40
can be bought for $3.50.
Our warehouses are literally
packed with cotton. More than
we ever saw before at this season
of the year. Farmers holding for
better prices. The question Is
will they get it? We hope so, but
fear not.
- Sheriff Thornton recently drove
sixty miles in one day in the dis
charge of his duties. Either this,
or deputy. The High Sheriff
prefers to do his own work, and
we take the liberty to add that it is
done we'll too.
Mr.. H. P. Hass brought some
as fine sugar cane to town on last
Monday as we ever saw grow,
Notwithstanding the dry weather.
It takes an extraordinarily good
farmer to make good cane without
rain, and MIR. Hass is the man.
We are glad to learn that Capt.
W. H. Andrews, who removed
from our city to Macon few
weeks since, is very much pleased
with his new home and is doing
we'll. In Capt. Andrews, Macon
has a clever gentleman and a good
citizen.
There is no more efficient tax
collector in Georgia than Mr.. J.
Fl. Crouch, of Terrell. He is
faithful in the discharge of his du-
ties and is as courteous and polite
as a Chesterfield. 1t is real
pleasure to pay taxes to such an
officer as j. II. Crouch.
The entertainment at the col
lege on last Friday night was very
creditable. The songs, recitdtions,
orations and charades were all
good and elected much applause.
The instrumental music was par
excellence. The class of young la
dies who read in concert deserves
especially to be mentioned.
Mr.. Jesse d. Weston has suflici-
emily 1ecoved from the effects of
the wound that he received during
the month Of September to be able
to get about a little. He was out
driving yesterday. Now that he
is no longer confined to the house
his recovery will no doubt be rap
id. His many friends are all re-
ioiced to see him out again. Al
bany News.
We would suggest to the, next
grand jury the propriety of look
ing closely into the Delinquent tax
returns. We are informed that
the county loses, annually, several
hundred dollars in this way that
might be saved if the grand jury
