COLLEGE ITEMS.

Brave "South Georgia College onward she
giides.
Needless of breakers and wild surgine
tides,
Her timbcrs are all staunch, her pilot is
true,
Her captain is bold, and undaunted her
crew.
Her banner she unfurls, to the breeze
spreads it wide
Sails safely into port, Dawson's boast and
her pride.
A greater number of young ladies
arriving in town than ever before
at one time. No wonder the boys
are frightened, but the girls are
always so sweet and kind.
Winter has taken fight, and all
enjoy the bright, beautiful days,
which come like white winged
doves of peace" The buds are
bursting, and birds are singing,
harbingers of sweet spring time.
The young ladies who expect to
attend the Leap Year party at
Judge Harrison Rogers, on the
29th inst, will please leave their
contributions for the supper this
week at Mrs. c. L. Mize's.
Our typo is a real bad boy
He will not look with leniency
upon some portions Of our manu-
script, the very parts too, We think
best. If he doesn't be more clev-
er, he will miss the golden
waiter"
From the far away valley of
Mississippi comes to us, bright
little Miss Trudie Christie, who
seems pleased with our pleasant
city. Fatherless and motherless,
may she find SO many and dear
friends that her loss will be light
ly felt.
The Wing and Radical parties
are reorganizing, report says, and
politics seem to be the order of the
day. Presiden ial election is some
distance ahead, and SO many ruff
fled feathers are unnecessary, but
the "Rads" always did, and will,
wag their tongues.
We were delighted to welcome
as boarders at the McNulty House,
Mr.. Miron Weston, whose brother,
Willie, together with Col. J. G.
Parks, were, years ago, pupils of
the President; and, Miss Alice
Jones, from Leary, whose mother
also was a pupil in the good old
days of yore.
Prof. B. C. Adams is off on O
trip to Florida, to plant out an
orange grove; writes that he is
having splendid time" but will
return in few days. His depart
ment is in charge of one of his
pupils, who looks well to the ways
of his household.
The Euterpean society, last Fri
day afternoon, had the pleasure of
welcoming to their hall, the AL
phas, who seemed to enjoy the
exercises. We are always pleased
to see them. Each society num-
bers between thirty and forty
members and is in a floulishing
condition.
The table in our sanctum or
library is covered with exchanges
bright, sparkling newsy papers,
that we welcome as friends. The
Americus Recorder, the Montezu-
ma Record, Albany News, Cuth-
bert Appeal, Quitman Free Press,
Thomasville Times, Atlanta Con-
stitution, Sunny South, and oc,
casionally the Southern World.
What an untiring, faithful band of

Resolutions of Respect.

Once more have we been called
to assemble around the grave of a
departed brother; and, looking in
to its narrow confines, we have
| again heard with sorrowful hearts
Earth to earth, dust to dust,
ashes to ashes
In the death Of brother Urban L.
WESTON, which occurred on the
night of Jan. 21st, 1884, our Mys-
tic Brotherhood loses a useful and
exemplary member, whose gentle
manly bearing and sterling traits
of character commanded the res
pect and high esteem of all his
acquaintances. Possessed OF
quick perceptions of right and
wrong, and having the courage to
advocate whatever cause he es-
poused, he walked fearlessly in the
path of duty and faltered not
though he saw that to go forward
would draw upon himself hot
fire of criticism from those who
either impugned or misconstrued
his motives. But he has
passed away, called by
our Grand Architect from
labor among his fellow-crafts-
men, we trust to refreshment in
the Grande Lodge above. There
fore, be it
Resolved 1st, That in the death
of brother WESTON, P. T. Schley
Lodge has lost a consistent mem
Der who was ever ready to respond
when duty called, and who with
all the earnestness of his soul Ia
bored for success in whatever en-
terprise he was engaged.
Resolved 2nd, That the COM
munity in which he lived has lost
a public-spirited and enterprising
citizen, the church to which he be-
longed a Jealous and exemplary
worker, the Georgia Press Associ-
alton worthy and promising
member, and the county a benevo-
lent and patriotic citizen.
Resolved 3rd, That we tender
to his bereaved relatives our pro-
found sympathy in the loss of one
so much beloved by kindred and
friends; and that we will ever
cherish his memory and strive to
emulate his virtues which made
him to be honored and trusted
wherever he was known.
Resolved 4th, That q page in
our Minutes be dedicated and in
scribed to his memory and that
these resolutions be recorded by
the Lodges secretary.
Resolved 5th, That copy here.
of be furnished the relatives OF
our deceased brother, and that the
Dawson Journal be requested tc

Drs. Harmon and Clark were
called ups n one day last week to

this place:
When Mr.. George Arthur gets

he will have one among the hant.-
| soonest places in town.
The mercantile. establishment
of Crittenden Bros, at this point,
is among the largest from Macon
to Eufaula, and their sales will
prove our statement
We notice few days since that
some of our farmers were offering
for sale lard and meat, which goes
to prove that they don't keep their
smoke houses in Ohio, but at
home. y
A debating society, or reading
club, would prove very interesting
and beneficial to our young people,
and we would like to see some one
make a move in regard to the
matter.
Nothing would so greatly en-
hance the value of property in this
community as an artesian well,
and we think our citizens should
bold meeting andsee what could
be done.
Parties desiring to locate in q
good community and in a healthy
section, where all the advantages
OF schools and churches can be
had, and where nature would sur
round them with all that is neces-
sary for their earthly happiness,
should not overlook the growing
and prosperous little city Of
Ward.
We still believe that the truck
business, judiciously managed,
will pay. We advise cautioni
however, this year, as we did last.
There is no sort of question but
that the advantages of transpor-
tation and markets will be greatly
increased over last year. The
truck farmer, too, should endeavor
to increase the size and quality of
his vegetables and melons. Ship
nothing but first class stuff. The
man who once establishes repu-
tation for shipping first class
stock, will find that his goods will
always bring remunerative prices.
Adhere to this rule, and, in the
future, all will be well. One Of
the greatest troubles last year
with our truck men was that they
shipped too much inferior stock.

The more one travels over the
state, the more is he convinced
that Terrell county is not surpass-
ed by any section of Georgia.
While it mrst be admitted that
the farmers in a few counties of
Middle Georgia have taken the
lead in point of agricultural en-
terprise and progress, Terrell fol-
lows closely on the heels. In
point of natural adaptation and re-
sources, the best counties in the
state have not a whit the advan-
tage of Terrell. It is a matter of
both pleasure and pride to the
writer that the knowledge of Ter
relPs resources and advantages
are not confined to her own peo-
pie. But, abroad, all over the
state, is she acknowledged and
spoken of as one of the progress
sive counties of Georgia. Leav-
ing out Thomas, and, perhaps,
Brooks, Terrell is the best adver-
tised county in South West
Georgia, and it is but question
Of short time when every available
foot of her soil will be occupied
and possessed by industry and
thrift.

that the facilities for transporta-
ton would be very much improved
over last year, and that they need
nave no apprehensions about hav-
ing their truck speedily delivered
IN the markets. It was estimated
that the acreage in truck this year
would be about ten per cent great

Notwithstanding the beautiful
weather, many Of our farmers are
still holding back and refuse to
begin planting corn. They may
be wiser than We, but it does seem
to us that farmers are standing
very much in their own light not
to be planting corn such weather
as this. Even if they should wait
| till the first of March, they will
gain nothing by it that the early
planter will not also enjoy.
Our TRUCKERS. SO far as we
have been able to learn, there's not
the slightest diminution of inter
est in the truck business in Ter
rell upon the part of our truckers.
Those who planted melons, cab
bage, potatoes, etc, last year, will
plant again this year. There may
be, possibly,one or two exceptions;
but, in the main, the same men
who planted before will plant
again. Certainly, the area plant
ed will be quite as large
as it was last year.

The Dude and the Indian.

1t is easy to decide which of the two
young men was the gentleman, i'll the
following story from an exchange:
On Fort Wayne train approaching
Chicago there was short t-statured,
going back to the reservation after
trip to the Indian school ut Carlisle,
Pa. He wore nice suit of clothes
which fitted him badly, and paper
collar without any necktie. He attend
ed strictly to his own business, and WAS
unmolested until II young sprig came
into the smoking car from the sleeper.
"An Indian, guess" said the young
chap,as lie lighted IA cigarette. And then
approaching the son of the plains, he
attracted general attention by shouting
with strange gestures: "Ugh, heap big
Injun Omaha SiouxG PawneeR See
great fatherP Have drink fire water
Warm Injun's blood !"
The copper-colOred savage gazed at
the young man IA moment, with an i'll
his face, and then he said, with good
pronunciation "You must have been
reading some dime novels, sir. am
going back to my people in Montana,
after spending three years i'll the East
at school. | advise you to do the same
thing. No. | do not drink whisky.
Where | live gentlemen do not carry
whisky TASKS in their pockets"
The cigarette was not smoked out,
and, amid a general laugh, much
crestfallen young man retired to the
sleeping coach.

Some New Light on Blaine.

A good deal is being said about the
opinions which Senator George F. Ed
munds held concerning James G. Blaine
in 1880, and inquiries are made as to
the reliability of certain statements
made concerning them. 1t is well
known in Vermont that Mr.. Edmunds
then stood with Judge Poland in dis
trusting Mr.. Blaine. While Mr.. Ed
munds did not desire a nomination to
the presidency, lie was patrIoticaIly
anxious that Vermont should send no
delegates who would vote for Blaine in
any event. This led him to write IA
letter which was circulated among
some of his leading political friends.
1t is stated that Mr.. Edmnnds's as
sociatiOn with James @. Blaine led
him to regard the Maine senator as the
champion of corporation lobbyists, and
the letter enforced this general state
ment with savage directness by adding
that whenever Edmunds and Thurman
had joined hands to defeat Gould's
schemes ''James 6. Blaine invariably
started up from behind Gould's breast
works, musket in hand" The Bur
lington senator further added that in
his opinion Mr.. Blaine could not be
elected, and even if he could ought
not to be.
This is powerful testimony, brethren
1t was conscientiously presented by a
calm, cool, cautious man and veteran
lawyer, one who uses language with
discrimination and the fullest knOwl-
edge of its meaning. The Judgment
declared was not born out of the par
tisan ferocity of il political campaign
but was the deliberate statement ot
intense conviction and it is justly
entitled to great weight when the
people come to judge of one who a'
speaker of the house trafficked fol
private gain on his official position
| TSprippfield Republican.

Around the World On IA Bicycle.

About $50 p. m, yesterday, a soli
tary bicyclist came up Genesee street,
and dismounted. The wheelman in
troduced himself as Thomas Stevens,
of Laramie City, New, stating that he
left San Francisco April p, for the
purpose of making tour of the world,
and had come thus far upon his wheel.
Mr.. Stevens is about b years of age
and an Englishman by birth. He came
to this country several years ago, and
for three years past has lived upon Il
ranch near Laramie City. He is of
medium hight and well built. He was
attired in blue flannel shirt, brown
knickerbockers, blue stockings, canvas
shoes, and a white military helmet hat.
The balance of his wardrobe, consist
ing of an extra shirt, was strapped to
his machine His clothing displayed un-
mistakable signs of hard usage and ex-
pOsure to the weather, and his face and
hands were Drowned, almost blacken-
ed, from the effect of the sun and wind.
Mr.. Stevens stated on his departure
from San Francisco the weather was
warm and pleasant. He started out
| on the old California trail, the one
followed by the gold seekers of 40.
Upon his arrival at the Sierras the
weather became cold and there was a
heavy fall of snow. He passed through
| Ogden, Cheyenne, Omaha, Chicago,
| Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, and
other cities en- route. While he was
on the Central Pacific road he was
obliged to trundle his wheel through
snOw-sheds a distance of 40 miles. In
/ the chad lands1 of western Wyoming
Mr.. Stevens experienced great diff

run his wheel through sticky clay, SIX
