Cur CITY Council.

Much has been said about the
doings Of our City Council; not 50
much in the Journal as upon the
streets. We always felt a feeling
Of sympathy for any man, or set
Of men, who has the affairs OF a
city government to direct where
he has everybody to please. Our
present Board Of Aldermen were
elected without opposition, and
for the reason that they seemed to
give satisfaction to every body,
and Te believe yet, if every man in
town had been picked over, a more
solid and more reliable Board
could not have been obtained. We
believe further that they have di-
rected the affairs of the city as
economically as it has been posi-
bic under the circumstances to
have done. Indeed, in our jadge-
ment, If any mistake at all has
been made, it will be found in the
effort to run the affairs Of the city
upon too cheap scale. We be-
lieve the Council erred in not max
ing a clean breast OF the city's
finances when they first went into
Office, for if this had been done
the people would have then known
what embarrassments as to money
matters the Council was laboring
under. It is our opinion that a
quarterly statement, at least,
should be made, that every citizen
in the town might keep posted and
know at all times just exactly what
the state Of the city's finances is
and what the Council is doing for
the improvement OF the town. We
have no fault to find with
our City Council, For we believe
that they have done the best un-
der the circumstances that they
could.

We can say without fear of ref
utation that no county in the State
Of Georgia has a more efficient,
high toned, gcntlemanly Ordinary
than Terrell. Judge Bell is one
Of those uniformly smooth-tem-
pered, well-balanced men that one
rarely meets with in a whole life
time, and his amiable disposition
impresses itself upon every one
with whom he may come in con-
tact. We have heard Of no oppo-
sition to Judge Bell from any
quarter and we presume he will
have none in the coming election.
We certainly hope not.

Lack of Enterprise.

A town is always just what its
business men make it. If it grows,
enhances its trade and becomes
prosperous, then, it is the result
OF we'll directed enterprise upon
the part of those who do the busi-
ness. In this day of progress and
hurry, there is no such thing as
standing still. We mu t
either move forward or
else we are sure to ret
rograde, decline; and it is with the
business men, the merchants in
the main, to determine which horn
OF the dilelama they will choose.
In Dawson, we have a class of
men who rely too much upon the
exertions of others to pull the en-
terprises Of the town through.
They are always willing to see the
town move up and the trade
come, but they want somebo Y
else to spend the money to bring
about these results. They say to
others, ''you go ahead" but they
take good care never to follow.
There are a few merchants in
Dawson, be it said to their honor
who never wait for somebody else
to lead, but realizing the necessi-
ties of the times, they move
promptly to the front, take their
places III the march Of progress
and do their full duty, and it is to
men like these that Dawson owes
her presentpro5perity aud growth.
Thera is no reason why Dawson
should not continue to grow in
business every season, and she will
grow-if only our business men and
merchants win all pull together
and strive hard to keep up thespirit
ofenterprisa and emulation. There
is class of trade coming to Daw-
son even this season that never
came here before, and we feel as
sured that it has been brought
about by the judicious and p8rsis-
tent work Of few of our more
enterprising merchants. Let the
good work go on, for we are sure
that we shall reap if we SOW.

which they are disposing of at as

have drugs, oils, paints, glass, toll
ct articles, stationery, books, jew

ties of every description, besides
other things innumerable, which
they are selling at Wholesale and

servants than Stevens and Hoyl

Death of Mrs. O. A. Crittenden.

We are panied to announce this
week the death of Mrs. O. A. Crit
tenden, of this county. She was
a most estimable christian lady
and was dearly beloved by all who
knew her. She had been sick
about two weeks, we learn, with
typho-malarial fever. She leaves
a fon9ly devoted husband and
several children to mourn her loss.
Deceased was about 55 or 60 years
of age and a consistent member of
the Methods church. Her re-
mains were buried at Rehoboth
church on Tuesday last, the day
following her death. To the be-
reaved husband and children the
JOURNAL extends sympathy.

ed upon this morning to chroni-
Gle the death Of Mr.. +. III. Marlin.
of this county. He died on last
Tuesday night at his residence
near this city after a protracted
illness Of several months. Mr..
Marlin was truly good man. He
stood high in the estimation of all
who knew him. He was honora-
BILE and upright in all his dealings
and was good citizen. He was
deacon in the Baptist church and
had been a member of the same
for many years. He was quite
aged and had been in feeble health
for a long time prior to his death.
His remains were buried at the
cemetery in this city on yesterday
afternoon.

The Alpha and Omega of Dawson's
Artesian Well.


Artesian Well.
1t is with profound regret that
we state this week that the city
council of Dawson has seen fit at
length to abandon work upon our
artesian well and give it up as a
failure. Most of our readers are
already familiar with the history
of this enterprise. Some two
years ago, or more, the city coun-
Gil made a contract with Messrr.
Clay & Rogers to bore we'll for
the city, but after having sunk one
some 500 feet the drill became fast
ened in rock which they were
never able to extricate. The re-
suit was, this first we'll was aban-
doned, but not till after several
months of fruitless labor and ex-
penditure of money. Mr.. Jack
son, Of Albany, was then employed
to undertake the job. He sue
ceeded in sinking second we'll
about 700 feet and met with the
same trouble that Mr.. Rogers, the
the first contractor, encountered.
For several months, Mr.. jackson
has been vainly trying to get his
piping and drill extricated, but
without success, until finally the
city council becoming tired Of the
expense and delay determined to
put a stop to the whole thing. All
this transpired at the regular
meeting of the city council last
Monday night. What the thing
has cost from first to last nobody
knows, not even the city council,
but it is safe to assume not less
than three or four thousand dol
lars. The JOURNAL has no word
Of complaint to utter against any
one. We are only sorry that the
well has been abandoned, and we
hope that ere another twelve
months is gone that Dawson will
have an artesian we'll in spite of
this failure.

An Elit0r'S Liberty.

From the very nature of the po-
sition, no man can feel so much
inter est, solicitude and pride IN
the enterprises and sue
cesses Of his town as an editor.
To some extent, at least, he feels
charged with the responsibility Of
protecting, advocating and defend
ing every local interest; and in
his zeal to see the business inter-
est of his town advance, it is not
unfrequenly the case that he be-
comes impatient, and sometimes
pricks his constituents with a
sharpness they don't exactly rel
ish. But, after all, it works good:
and if the editor of a newspaper
can't take the liberty to overhaul
his friends when they need it, we
would like to know who can.

A Horrible Accident Which Results in

Fom the Perry correspondent

death Of Roundtree Bryant, well

Deceased has a mother and sever

VIC deeply sympathize in this their
ho7r Of distress:
PERRY, GA, October 4-Yesterday
morning at 8 O'clock Mr.. Roundtree Bry-
ant met with frightful accident, result
ing in his death last night at s O'clock.
While running the water gin Of Mr.. w.
H. Houser, on Messy creek, seven
miles from here, his entire left arm was
drawn into the saws, horribly mangling it
and fastening it 50 that it took half hou'
to get him loose, which was done by TAX
ing the gin to pieces. Drs. Ross and
Greene, of Ft. Valley, were sent for and
amputated the arm above the elbow, but
the shock and previous loss Of blood proved
fatal. Mr.. Brysnt was a worthy and esti-
mable young man and leaves wife, two
children and many relatives and friends to
mourn his untimely death.

City Tax.

The tax imposed upon city prop

one per cent. A man who gives
in his property at $1,000 will have
to pay $40. If he gives it in at
$4,000 he viii have to pay $50, and
so on. The tax is not heavier
than We Anticipated and we are
prepared to meet it without mur-
mur. The council have done the
best that they could under the cir
cumstances, and we do not think
that anybody could have done any
better.
