Notes and Incidents of the Hanging.

The bearing Of Albany's SOL
diery in our town on last Monday
was magnificent.
Solicitor General Walters, of
Albany, who was present on last
Monday said that Sheriff Thornton
was the most efficient officer in
that capacity he had ever known.
A more handsome body of
men never wore uniforms than
the two military companies from
Albany. Their officers are SUI
perb.
Our gallant Mayor did his part
IN the entertainment of the visit
ing soldiery Oh last Monday very
handsomely. The boys from AL
bany will not soon forget Walter
B. Cheatham.
The soldier boys of Dawson
deserve great credit for the gallan'-
ry displayed during the scenes in
cident to the hanging of George
Jones. Had it been necessary
they would have fought to the
hilt.
The Central Railroad has offer
ed 5000. reward for the rascals
that wrecked the train on last
Sunday night conveying the sol
diers to Dawson. 1t IS to be hop
ed that the last one of them will
be caught.
The soldier boys, of Albany,
who visited our city on last Mon
day, were the great centre of at
traction. They were admired and
complimented by all classes of
our citizens. Albany certainly
ought to feel proud of her sol
diery.
The wrecking Of the train, on
last Sunday night, bringing the
soldiers from Albany to Dawson,
was one of the most diabolical
acts ever committed in any coun-
try. The Williams who did the
deed should be hunted down and
shot like 50 many dogs.

Some Advice.

The negroes of Terrell should
learn from the example set them
by the white citizens Of this coun-
ty that to obey the law and abide
its course is better than mobo-
3racy. The JOURNAL has
many good subscri-
5ers in Terrell among the negroes
and we should be very sorry to
know that q single one Of them
had ever winked at a spirit of in
cendiarisin on the part of their
race. The more intelligent ones
should endeavor to influence the
others for good and not for harm.
Unless it is done they may expect
% come to a bad end, for it can
not be doubted, even by the ne
groes, that if a conflict should ev-
er be brought on between the
whites and blacks the negroes
viii be very badly worsted. Even
N the absence of local military
organization the telegraph
and railroads are too swift, now
l-days, ever to be surprised.
Hence, it follows that the more
peaceful the relations between the
.wo races the better for all con-
eerned. We love peace, but not
at a sacrifice Of justice and right.
We are in favor Of the negro's
having full justice--everything
that the law gives him, but when
he becomes SO oyergrown with his
own solf-importanco and attempts
to take the law into his own hands
he then becomes an incendiary Of
the worst type and there is no
punishment too severe for him.
The white people Of this country
viii never submit TO my such
course of conduct, and the sooner
the negroes learn it the better for
them.

old story, that the prisoner was
ready to swing right into heaven.
Be it said, however, to the credit
of Barney, ne made a good, con-
servatiye speech, giving his color
cd friends some good advice if
they will only take it. After
singing a hymn, Barney offered
up d short prayer and the sheriff
admonished the prisoner that his
last moment upon this earth had
come.
Take your last look, said the
sheriff.
STRENGTHENING up his neck, the
prisoner looked about for a mo-
ment and the black cap was ad-
justed. lie had seen the last Of
this world and stood trembling.

1T Thornton cut the rope and
Geo. Jones fell lifele3s lump of
clay below. His neck was broken
and the physicians pronounced
HIM dead in Ii minutes. The
negroes refused to take his body
and he was buried at the county's
expense, right where he fell, be-
meath the gallows. May it be
that this days work will prove a
lesson to those for whom it was
intended.

Everybody should be convinced
now that Dawson needs a first
class military company, and after
our late experience we should be
very much surprised if any one
should Withhold his moral support
and influence in the organization
of such a company. Let every
citizen of our town, therefore,
lend his encouragement to the en-
terprise. We need a thoroughly
we'll equipped company and must
have it. It is one Of the necessi-
ties OF the town.

Prof. Ouilliaa Opcn3 School.

BY invitation from the Principal

present about forty pupils, and

to the school Prof Quillian has
associated with him in the literary
department Of the school Miss
Wadsworth, who was also present
and ready to begin work, as was

more as engage in this noble worl
Of training the young idea how

Sunday School Convention at Weston

Accompanied by Mr.. n. w Do
zier, The writer had the pleasure
OF visiting the handsome little city
OF Weston on last Saturday, where
we went to attend the Webster
County Sunday School Assccia-
ton. 1t was our first visit, and,
when the days exercises were
over, it made US feel sorry that we
had not gone to Weston a many a
time before. The Convention was
a success, notwithstanding tie alb
sence Of several OF its officers. One
OF the most interesting features of
the day was the splendid dinner
spread upon the grounds. Every
body enjoyed it and we are quite
sure that no one more than Mr..
Dozier and tue writer. We shall
always have a kindly feeling for
the people Of Weston.
NOTES.
Weston not only has a good
Sunday school bat one Of the best
literary schools in this section Of
the state. It is under the man
agement OF the scholarly Grubbs,
one Of the best educators in Gcor-
gia.
DR.. Charlie Aston is doing a
fine practice at Weston. He is
one Of the best young physicians
to be found in any section Of the
country.
We have meyer met a people
more thoroughly liberal and hos
pitable than the people Of Weston.
To Capt. Z. L. Saunders the
writer is indebted in a very large
degree for kindness shown him on
last Saturday. The Captain is
one Of the Journals most stead
fast friends.
We had the pleasure Of dining
with the hosNtable family Of GIr.
w. W. Simmons on last Saturday
while at Weston. 1t is a family
whose courtesy we shall not soon
forget.
The genial Jack Lee, Of Terrell,
was upon the grounds shaking
hands with his many friends at
Weston. Terrell is always proud
Of Jack wherever lie goes.
The best crop we saw upon the
road between Dawson and Weston
was that OF John u. Parrott. John
S one OF Terreli's most enterpr;s-
ing farmers.
As a gentleman said to Mr..
Dozier, the crops around Weston
are Spotted" We thought that
this word described the situation
exactly; for all along the road
they seemed to be spotted"
sometimes a good one and some
times a very Door one.

Quite q number of ladies' ac-

that party for the present cam
paign.
Considering the crowd in town
last Monday, everything passed
off very quietly. With the oxcep-
tion Of two or three belligerent
white citizens there was no dis
turbance whatever.
AS a rule we believe the negroes
Of Terrell are law-abiding, and but
for the negroes in other counties
there never would have been the
slightest cause for apprehension
on the day Of the hanging.
A substantial farmer Of this
county, who has about one hun
dred and sixty acres planted in
cotton, says he will take eleven
bales for his entire crop. He re-
ports fine weeds but no fruit.
We ere requested by the Presi-
