ments. Nothing half so safe and
certain as system, gentlemen.
Maj. B. H. Hood is good, bet
ter, best ~when you button-hole
HIM and begin to talk railroad. -
He Is ever alive to the best inter
ests of his place and people.
No town in Southwest Georgia
has better farming country to
back it than Dawson, and there is
no reason why she should not con
tinue to grow until she reaches at
least 5000 inhabitants.
The railroad authorities have
made another change in the sched-
ule. The uptrain is now due here
at l;57 p. M, the down train at
$50 p. III. The change went into
effect last Sunday.
The subscription list Of the new
railroad gradually sweils. We be-
iieve the road will be constructed
from here TO Albany-there is no
reason Why it should be classed
among the impossibilities.
Gentlemen, life is too short
to waste in unholy bicker-
ings and wranglings over the
shortcomings OF your neighbor.
Look aloft, and live for higher,
nobler ends.
Ii thcre is a man in our town
that deserves the gratitude Of our
people, it IS Charley Deubler.
Never was a councilman more
faithful and untiring in the dis
charge Of his duties than Charley
has been.
To show that our people are
Claw abiding" we cite the recent
case of outrage upon one Of our
most estimable white ladies as
going to show a disposition to pa
tiently wait until the law had its
course.
If we had a few more such men
as Sam Lee and Jes' Griffin in
town, Dawson would boom sure
enough. These gentlemen are now
getting ready to build a couple of
new brick stores on Main street.
Col. J. G.. Parks and family will
leave us in a few days to spend
several weeks in Atlanta. The
Colonel is gradually on the mend,
and we trust that his trip to the
Gate City will afford him perma-
nent relief.
We were shown an ear Of corn
on yesterday by Judge Bell that
contained 1850 grains. 1t was
one of the finest developed
ears we ever saw. This puts an
end, then, to the idea that
corn is not well filed out thisyea
The people in the vicinity of
Chickasawhatchee will celebrate"
in grand style this week. To-mor-
row there will be a barbecue about
three miles from that place, Satur-
day a picnic will take place in the
village and Sunday there will be a
centennial celebration Of Method
ism and a basket dinner at their
church.
Does your neighbor speak i'll Of
you? Then, if he has cause for so
doing, you ought to feel sorry and
try to mend your way OF living.
If, upon the contrary, your neigh
Dor speaks i'll Of you without cause
then you should have the salts
faction of knowing that your
neighbor is doing himself more
harm than he is doing you.
The venerable Judge J. G. T.
Clark rises to ask this question:
"What has become Of the flag of
the Macon Volunteers that was
used during the Florida Indian
war of 1882" The Judge was a
member Of that veteran organiza-
ton during the war Of SO, and
says that flag had several bullet
holes made in it by the rifles of
the Indians.
Sometime ago it was reported
around that the Catholics desired
to build church in this city and
that the Methodist church build
ing had been offered to them for
81100. Nothing, definitely, 50 far,
has been heard from in the matter,
but it is hoped that our Methodist
friends will be enabled to sell their
present church building, as they
desire to erect q new one.
There are very few men in Ter
rell who do not read the Journal
regularly every week. Even those
who do not take u as subscribers
manage to find out by some means
what it contains. AS an adver-
Using medium, therefore, it has
attained to system of almost per-
lection. II you have anything to
sell, put it in the Journal and
everybody will find it out in very
few days.
Now that a frst-class military
company is an assured fact, sup
