A Houston county paper says
"some farmers in this vicinity are

This sounds rather strange to us
down here where none have vet
been sowed, owing to the drouth.
But then, we hear ofone enterprs-

THE RAMBLING REPORTER.
What He Saw While Strolling Over
the City.

A few days since while wander
ing around this delightful iittle
city we were ,grariGed to see 80
many beautiful and cosy homes.
This is one Of the surest signs Of
contentment, prosperity and cul-
tiyatipn. Verify, Dawson can
boast Of many beautiful and hap
py homes; these Of themselves
show refined tastes, while lovely
and tastily arranged flower yards
plainly indicate the handiwork OF
cultivated and intelligent women.
Signs Of improvement we're seen
on every side, and surely and
steadily oar town is growing in
population and popularity.
We saw lots Of pretty girls of
all ages and sizes, and they are
regular little beauties but,they
must not say anything about it.
We saw somes handome horses
and vehicles and they, the horses,
not the vehicles, were being driven
for all they were worth. Dawson
has some Of the finest turnouts of
any town Of its size in the State.
We saw that the skies were over
cast and that it looked like rain,
but we didn't believe it would Z.
and sure enough it didn't.
We saw few idlers roosting
around on boxes, swapping-er-
"reminiscences" but, then, we
suppose they were tired and were
trying to have q good rest.
We noticed tha5 the streets were
kept clean and in tolerably good
order, and that a good many were
not like the one IN Damascus
called straight"
We saw a good deal Of cotton
coming to our market, which full
ly substantiates our assertion that
Dawson is the best cotton market
in Southwest Georgia.
We saw a largenumber of other
things, some good, others not 50
nice, but, altogether, we saw
enough to convince us that Daw-
son IS moving right along with
the procession.

LOST LOVE.
The Letter Found by us Last Week
She Ask Young Man with
Lovely Hazel Eyes" to
Marry Her.

Below is the letter found by US
last week on one Of our most pop
ular steets, written by a gushing
maiden, or spinster, to young
man. We know neither party, but
sincerely hope they will soon quit
Single wretchedness'' and enter
the state of matrimony, and stop
this ''pining away" and probably
save the exoense OF a funeral:
La the first place,it was improp-
er for "Ono Who VIII Always
Love YOU, to write such a letter
but il the young man with lovely
eyes" does not avail himself Of
this opportunity to secure SO low
ing a companion, he should be-
eXilel to regions that are never
Lighted with the presence Of pure
and holy woman. We have no
use for the letter and either par
ty can get it by calling at our Of
fee and establishing claims. It
IS as follows:
Dawson, Ga, FeB'r. 29rd, 1884.

Card.

Mr.. EDITOR; We see in last
week 5 Journal that the friends
Of Mr.. Dennis G. Brim announce
him a candidate for Tax Collector.
From a long and intimate acQaaln-
tance with him, We feel ii our duty
to say a few words in his behalf.
He is an honest, energetic and
hard working young man, and had
it not been for the misfortune of
losing his hand a few weeks
since neither he or his friends
would ask the Office for him.
As he is now, he is no longer able
to earn a support 10y labor as
heretofore, and he is fully capoci-
tated to fill the office we now seek
for him. His opponents, as far
as we know, are perfect gentlsmen.
One has had the office for four
years which, we think, ought to
satisfy him. The other is young
man with two good hands and is
able to do most any kind Of work,
and we ask, is it but jusJice to
give it to the unfortunate one,
who has scarcely any way left to
earn support while there are
hundreds of ways FOR a man with
two hands to earn a living? We
should sympathize more with our
unfortunate fellow men and when
they ask for an Office, and are
competent to discharge the duties
of that Office, we should give it
to them in preference to the more
fortunate. Mr.. Brim is fully
competent and deserves the Office
and we ask the voters of Terrell
county to cast their votes for him,
thereby helping the man and do
ing but an act OF justice.

Mrs. Ellen Odum died in Baker

No'oi' W { nope the report is
true.
Oats have done what a great
many politicians have claimed to
do-"sayed the State" Farmers
would do we'll to sow plenty Of
oats and when they get through
SOW a little more.
Court week draweth nigh and
then the town COW will dyaH nigh
unto the farmers buggy and lick
elgteen or twenty inches of tongue

horse food.
Our Chickasawhatchee friends
take the pantry when it comes to
making a success of a festival
At the one in chat village the 9th
er night the sum Of $7415 was
realized.
Several of our young men took
III the fair at Macon but none Of
them seem to be in a hurry to
take in a fair (one) at home.
The matrimonial market is ex-
ceedingly dull.
Dawson merchants offer as
great, or greater, Inducements in
the way Of low prices and fine
goods as any town. People living
IN the country should take due
notice of this.
The girls ola neighboring town
are forming an anti-kissing-the-
cigarette-young-men society. All
right young ladies, we smoke a
pipe. Never had any use for
cigarettes, anyway.
There have been many valuable
additions, and other improve
ments, made to dwellings in Daw-
son this season. Mr.. Geo. Geise
is now making a decided improve
ment to his dwelling.
One Of the most pleasant social
occasions of the season was the
entertainment at Mr. J. D. Laing's
last Friday night. The beauty
and chivalry of Dawson were
present III almost full force.
When you see a man on moon
light night trying to convince his
shadow that it is improper to fol
low gentleman, you may be
sure it is high time for him to
join temperance society.
Several farms have been offered
for sale in this county this fall.
Taking everything into considera-
ton these lands are as valuable as
can be found in Georgia. As a
the farming lands of Ter
rell county are equal to any in the
State.
The farmers of this section have
had no cause TO complain Of Daw-
son as a cotton market this sea-
son. Dawson is on her metal and
is determined that neither Ameri-
Gus nor Albany shall get ahead
of her in paying high prices for
cotton.
The patrons of the JoURNAt

Several prominent citizens en-
gagged in q little row last Friday
and passed several licks. No
severe injury was done to any
one. Our Mayor took cogni2ance
of the yiolators of the city law and
increased the town reveneue
somewhat.
A good many Of our citizens at

ton in Macon last Tuesday.
There were several able speeches

Custer chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, Black Hills, D.T. [S.D.]) 1880-1890, 1884-12-13

A Boston dispatch Of the 4th says
City Editor Frost and Reporter Saun-
ders, Of the Boston Globe, were before
the superior court to-day on the charge
of contempt, for refusing to tell where
they got certain information regarding
and old murder case lately reviewed.
The police had been making an investi-
CATION. but the newspaper got the most
information, and publishedit. The case
to-day was Of interest to all journalists
here, as il involved what is considered
an especial right ofnewspapers, Of to main
tain the secrecy Of the source of infor-
nation. Judge Diodpett took The news
paper view ofthe matter and refused to
commit the journalists for contempt,
ruling that the question was narrow
one, and resolved itself into whether or
not certain gentlemen should he requir-
ed to divulge the names Of persons who
gave them information. He thought
not
