THREE DAYS AND NIGHTS.
A Citizen is Attacked with Vertigo
While in the Wo0ds-Is Found in,
an InSensible Condition.

Tuesday morning of last week,
Mr.. Ben Laney, who resides about
ten miles from town, went to
Kinchafoonee creek, near his
house, to feed his hogs. He did
not return up to twelve O'clock
but his family paid little attention
to it, thinking that he had busi-
ness that delayed him. When
night came, however, and he still
did notreturn, they became alarm
ed and suspected that he had been
murdered, or some terrible acci-
dent had happened to him as he
had never before stayed away
without notifying his family.
The next morning the whole com
munity was notified of the fact
and much excitement prevailed
Search was Immediately instituted
and not until after the third dav
and night did any signs of him be
seen, when they found his hat and
corn sack, and the ground around
looked as though there had been
considerable scufiing. This only
increased the belief that Mr..
Laney had been foully dealt with,
and the searchers became more
diligent and several hours after
wards they found him several
miles from home in the woods, in
an insensible condition. He was
taken home where he immediate
ly received medical attention and
will, in few days, be out again.
1t seems that while on the creek
he was seized with vertigo and
wandered further from home. He
was gone three days and nights.

Only a RumOr.

We learn that the old Columbus,
Cuthbert and Bainbridge railroad
is soon to be built. How true this
report is we are unable to say, but
give it to our readers for what it
is worth. It is we'll enough for
the citizens Of Dawson and Terrell
county to wake up to this railroad
movement for if that line was to
be built it t'would be the greatest
drawback that could happen to
Dawson. Gentlemen, look out for
your interests. Macon Tele-
graph.
Yes, the road will probably be
button paper,as all the railroads
in Georgia are now constructed.
We have conversed with some Of
our most prominent citizens in
regard to it and they are of the
opinion that the road will never be
built. Gentlemen, sharpen your
pencils and proceed forthwith to
complete this project in the
usual manner.

a Suggestian By Citizens.

~
MEssRs. EDIToRs: As the time
is near at hand for the election Of
mayor and aldermen and, as there
is more than one aspirant for the
office of mayor, and many good
citizens who will serve as alder
men, would it not be advisable for
the citizens of the whole city,
both white and colored, to meet at
the court house the second Monday
night in November and nominate
a ticket for mayor and aldermen
by ballot; this manner Of proceed
ing would lessen strife and be
greatly to the benefit and good Of
the city. Heretofore these officers
have been put out by only a few,
and have never given general salts
faction to the citizens. Now,
Messrs. Editors, let the people Of
the city meet and select good mon
who will do their whole duty re-
gardless of croakers. At the same
time they might give an express
sion as to who they desire for

Things in Cuba.

Friday night last negro wo-
man visited Dawson and scooped
in many of the hard earned dimes
of DR.. Haygood's "brothers in
black She claimed to be just
from Cuba, and came here to
deliver a lecture to her color about
that country. The lecture was
given at the negro Baptist church
to rather small audience. Il
was very poor thi ng indeed, she
being very ignorant and unlearn-
ed, and, further more, an ilnposi-
tion, having never been to Cuba
and probably never was out OF the
piny woods of Georgia. Being
interrogated as to the customs and
habits of the people in Cuba,
she stated that her color was in
bondage and received very cruel
treatment. They are frequently
bartered and bring very high
prices-especially fine looking
ones. At this point Mr.. y. G.
Trammell, our worthy marshal,
approached the crowd and, point
ing at him, she said: "such a look

There is at this time a fair de-
mand for oats, and this fact should
stimulate our farmers to SOW a
larger crop than last year. The
net profit in the production of
oats is, unquestionable, greater
by far than any crop grown in the
South. Oats are selling, now, for
60cts. per bushel, while corn can
be bought for 75cts. per busheI,
and, yet, oats can be produced for
one half the cost. AS for cotton,
it requires no argument to con-
vince anybody that oats are more
profitable than this crop. Let
every body, therefore, plant with
a view of having oats to sell anoth-
er season.

The season for sowing small
grain is at hand. An increased
acreage devoted to oats this fall is
of more importance than any other
business in sight, including the
whooping up of candidates for
Office or picking of cotton; large
oat crop means forage in the win
ter and entire independence of the
corn districts in the west. Sow
oats, gentlemen, but not wild
ones.

We have always heard that
gophers were a very delicate table
luxury and that in some sections
they were eaten with great deal
of avidity. But never until recent
ly have we ever heard of such a
thing as courthouse litigation
over them. A gentleman tells us
that when the railroad was being
built through Taylor county, this
State, a good many years ago, that
a farmer, through whose planta-
ton the road ran, had to file a bill
of injunction against the company
to prevent the hands from eating
his gophers. Fact, all of it.
