A New ENTERPRISE.

In point of enterprise, Dawson
keeps fully abreast with the most
progressive towns in Georgia. As
was stated in these columns some
weeks ago. she can now boast of
having in operation q cotton seed
oil mill. This is an enterprise not
only calculated to enrich its own
ers, but it will, also, prove great
convenience to our farmers, and
be the means Of adding largely to
the facilities for fertilizing our
soil It is now universally con-
ceded that there is no fertilizer
employed by the farmers of this
county to greater advantage than
the cotton seed meal. AS a fertil-
izer for grain it has no superior, if
an equal, and we doubt not that
the time viii come when the far
mers will find it most advantage
GUS to exchange the crude cotton
seed for the meal. We are glad
always to record the existence of
any enterprise calculated to devel-
op the material interests of our
county. Messrs. Baldwin, Geise
and Thomas, the proprietors Of
this enterprise, should receive the
encouragement of all our people.

ExPLANATIoN:-Owing to the
fact that the weather has been so
extremely cold and our ink so
badly frozen up, we have been
compelled to use, temporarily, the
ready print outside; but, still, we
gave our readers a good paper, as
is attested by the numerous COM
pliments the Journal is receiving.
In future, our paper will be issued
in the same old way as formerly
every line set at home-and we
promise our readers such a paper
as they shall feel proud of as a
county institution. We are, ALSO
engaged at this time in trying to
secure the services of local repor-
ters from every section of the
country where the Journal circu-
lates, and we shall spare no pains
to furnish the news fresh and pal
atable in every issue.

We are panied to learn that
many of our farmers are neglect
ing to SOW largely in oats. The
indication is that the acreage put
in oats up to this date is very
small as compared to other years.
We deeply regret to learn this, for
there is no hing more certain than
that if this country is ever saved
from total wreck it must be done
through the oat crop. 1t is not
too late, yet, to SOW a large spring
crop of this cereal, and we trust
it will be done. Farmers, let US
not plead in vain, but bestir your
selves and let us have another
rousing good grain crop in this
section. 1t will prove your saliva
tion-your success or your ruin
depends upon the quantity of
grain you sow.

AIlusion has been made already to the cir
eumstances that both as between different
Indian tribes and as between Indians and
the whites the past year has been one OF IN
broken peace. In this circumstance the
President is glad to find justification for the
policy of the Government in dealing with the
Indian question and confirmation OF the
views which were fully expressed in my first
recommendation to the Forty seventh Con-
gress. The Secretary urges anew the
enactment of statute for the pun
ishment of crimes committed on In
dian reservations, and recommends the
passage of the bill now pending IN
the House of Representatives for the pur-
chase of tract of $4,000 square miles from
the Sioux reservation. Both these measures
are worthy of approval ! concur with MIN

of their immediate transportation: They ar

ArOOstOOk for the Farmers.

The agricultural editor of the New Eng
land Farmer, who is well posted as to
where the best farming lands are, recent
ly said in his paper in reply to the ques-
ton of a young Farmer" "What locali-
ty presents the best attractions to a young
farmer who wishes to establish perma-
nent home P" without recommending any
locality especially, he speaks favorably of
all the New England States, and particu-
larly so of Vermont, and Aroostook coun.
ty, Maine. OF the latter he says:
Aroostook county, Maine. lis also holding
out great inducements to young farmers Of
energy and skill. The county is larger than
the State of Rhode Island and Connecticut
taken together. and contains much less
waste land 1t is well inward from the
coast. and though its winters are long they
are not severe, and spring comes all at
once, when it does come. Land is low,
but very fertile land easily worked. Spring
water is not as abundant as in Vermont,
but The societyis of high order. Every
man should feel that his home is in the
centre of the world, as it ought to be to
him. Every locality that is specially de-
sirable on account of improvements that
have been made on or near it, must al
ways have the disadvantage of being held
at high price. The man of small means
can get good deal more for his money
if he buys somewhat away from the large
business centres. and if a good home is
uppermost in his mind. such a choice
would often be advisable. All the New
England States contain as fine locations
for farmers homes as there are any.

Hints for the Kitchen.

Pulverized alum possesses the property
OF purifying water. A large spoonful
stirred into hogshead of water will so
purify it that in few hours the dirt will
all sink to the bottom, and it will be as
fresh and clear as spring water. Four
gallons may be purified by teaspoonful.
To make lime water: Half pound OF
unslacked lime Stacked in one gallon of
cold water. Stir it we'll. and let it stand
"a hours. Skim it, pour off the clear
water, bottle and cork well.
Indian meal and rye meal are IN danger
of fermenting in summer.-particular
Indian. They should be kept in cool
place. and stirred open to the air once in
while. A large stone put in the middle
of barrel of meal is good thing to keep
it cool.
To chop suet, sprinkle flour over it
while chopping, which will prevent the
pieces from adhering to the knife.
To clean brass, dissolve half-ounce of
oxalic acid Ga deadly poison.) in some
soft water, say half-a-teacupful, and wash
the brass with the solution, which will re-
move the tarnish. Then rinse with clear
water and polish with emery powder or
chamois skin or soft cloth.
When canning fruit it is good plan
after filling and sealing the jars to stand
them upside down and let them cool. If
they are not perfectly air.tight the fact
will soon be known, and it can be reme-
died by re-heating and sealing them again.
Meat which has been slightly tainted
may be restored to perfect sweetness, and
the odor arising from it while boiling en-
tirely prevented. by throwing into the pot
a few pieces of charcoal enclosed in a
cotton bag. The odor of vegetables slight
ly affected may be prevented in the same
way. Red pepper, and even black pepper.

Before putting down the stair carpet.
nail several thicknesses of old carpet or

well to buy more carpeting than is needed

twice each season. so that the whole will
wear evenly, for if stair carpets cannot be
changed in this way they will not last
long.

Female Bucket Shops.

Another method is found In the bucket
shops which are run by women for the ben
eft of their own sex. These women man.
ayers are in certain instances only tools In
the service Of some down town broker, who
really runs the shop and pays them salary.
The broker knows that ladies' of refinement
desire to avoid notice, and hence they hire .
handsome brown stone front where ladies
may come and go without suspicion. Thsse
are several of these In 24th street, where tho
tickers may be heard all through business
hours, and in each q score Of lsdiss may be
seen jotting down the quotations, which they
contrive to see through the wells which con-
ceal their identity. There 10 . very extern
